Lewis kicks off this week's Rantcast attempting to figure out how he can possibly remember the amount of bullshit that happens on a weekly basis. Realizing that his dog Sammy, who just turned one, has more empathy for the public than any politician or leader seems to. Prompting Lewis to believe Sammy might just have a future in politics. The topline wacky news of the week includes: MAGA picking on Olympians who are out there on the world's stage being asked questions about what's going on within our borders. Kristi Noem firing, then re-hiring a pilot over a forgotten blanket. Pam Bondi's unhinged testimony before congress that was so wild Jim Jordan wasn't even buying it. A racist video depicting the Obamas as monkeys. An attack on climate change. Jeff Bezos gutting the Washington Post. Prayer breakfasts that involve looking for missiles in planes. And finally, for whatever reason, the resurgence of an old Chevrolet theme song. It's been a particularly wild week of cluttering up our news feeds with the absolute most nonsense possible. To cleanse the palate, Lewis reads a friend's essay on the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show.

Today’s Judiciary Committee hearing turned into pure chaos as AG Pam Bondi faced off with House Democrats—and Jerry Nadler literally fell asleep during Jamie Raskin’s remarks. When Nadler finally woke up, the “questions” became Trump-bashing lectures, time-reclaiming theatrics, and constant interruptions. Bondi fired back, calling out years of Democrat silence under Garland, then stunned the room with a bizarre Dow-50,000 pivot before landing punches on sanctuary-state crime and donor hypocrisy. Jim Jordan kept it ALL together.

Reposted from They Did What?!, which you can find now or very soon at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastica.com/podcast/they-did-what⁠ — In this episode, Kelsey and Gen get dark and personal discussing Surviving Ohio State, the HBO Max documentary directed by Eva Orner, in conjunction with writer/producer Jon Wertheim, writer of the 2020 Sports Illustrated article that this documentary is based on. Surviving Ohio State looks at the decades-long abuse scandal surrounding Ohio State University and team doctor Richard Strauss, and the athletes who were ignored when they tried to speak up. Through survivor testimony, investigative reporting, and institutional records, the documentary traces how complaints were buried, reputations were protected, and harm was allowed to continue.

On this episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, Joe kicks off with a cold open that'll shake you to your core: Newsmax calls for arresting Barack Obama as evidence mounts that he and his crew engineered Russia Gate to tear America apart, while Tulsi Gabbard exposes how Biden and Kamala were never truly in charge the real power brokers pulled the strings. The Commies are now gunning for Tulsi with bogus whistleblower smears after her Fulton County work, but she's fighting back with a damning letter debunking their lies. We dive into Dominion Voting Machines' fraud nightmare, from Michigan Sheriff Dar Leaf's letter to Jim Jordan on rigged elections to Rasmussen's fresh callout on interconnected Dominion scandals foreign access, straw buyers, and the whole rotten system.Energy expert and U.S. Navy veteran Mike Ariza joins to sound the alarm on America's crumbling energy independence, breaking down Valero's accelerated Benicia refinery shutdown amid California's sky-high gas prices ($4.25/gallon and climbing) and regulatory hell that's driving refineries out. With hands-on experience from Chevron, Valero, and Flying J, Mike ties this to the AI race against China, how our shrinking domestic capacity risks blackouts, military vulnerabilities, and losing the tech edge as data centers demand massive power. From nuclear restarts to policy overhauls, he lays out urgent fixes to fuel AI dominance without foreign dependence.We chart A Path Forward no more silence, no more retreat. We confront the indoctrination machine head-on: schools nationwide, from North Central High in Indianapolis (where only ~46% of students read at grade level and ~24% are proficient in math) to Jefferson County, Colorado, are turning classrooms into anti-ICE propaganda zones, teaching kids to dox federal agents and demonize law enforcement, all on taxpayer dollars. Parents are furious one dad in Washington State exploded after his son was dragged to an anti-ICE protest without consent while Fulton County Chairman Robb Pitts declares at a press conference that arrests are coming and the system is cracking. This is the fork in the road: expose, confront, and demand accountability, including arrests for the worst offenders or let radicals keep turning our kids and communities into battlegrounds. The path forward is clear fight now, or lose everything.

Pags unloads on the newest media spin claiming Republicans are to blame for the shutdown drama—arguing Democrats are the ones driving it, and asking how legacy outlets keep getting away with flipping the script. He reacts to fresh rhetoric around “self-defense” that critics say dangerously blurs the line when it comes to federal agents, and then pivots to the hard news: Donald Trump signs a funding bill to reopen the government, and Pags breaks down what's actually in it—and why he sees it as a clear Republican win. Then Jim Jordan joins Pags for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense deep dive: the latest on the Bill Clinton / Hillary Clinton deposition fight, the Jack Smith fallout and “Russia, Russia, Russia,” why Democrats keep circling defund-DHS/defund-ICE, and why Republicans say voter ID should be a no-brainer if only citizens vote.

We're joined by Sr. Evangeline Ingwersen and Jim Jordan with Paraclete Press, talks about a Lenten chant devotion. Patti Armstrong, author of the book, Michelle Duppong Hope in the Depths of Suffering. Dr. Luke Arredondo, Executive Director of the St. Brendan Center for Evangelization and Spirituality in the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee with Catholic 101 segment talks about repetition at Catholics- why do Catholics pray in repetition?

1. Oil Prices & National Security Lower global oil prices weaken hostile regimes like Iran, Russia, and Venezuela by reducing their revenue. The Trump administration aims for a “sweet spot” oil price ($60–$70/barrel): Low enough to hurt adversaries. High enough to avoid bankrupting U.S. independent oil producers. If prices drop into the $40s, it could collapse small oil producers in Texas and the Permian Basin. 2. Venezuela’s Oil Infrastructure Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, but decades of mismanagement have destroyed its infrastructure. Estimates from oil executives: Increasing production from 1 million to 3 million barrels/day could take 10 years and require $100B+ in investment. Even going from 1 million to 2 million/day would take 5–7 years. Gulf Coast refineries can process Venezuela’s heavy sour crude, but expanded imports would mostly affect Canada and Mexico, not U.S. light-sweet crude producers. 3. Cuba’s Economic Crisis Cuba historically survived on financial support from: The Soviet Union (until its collapse). Venezuela under Chávez/Maduro (oil and money). With Venezuela no longer able to support Cuba, the island is in economic freefall. Mexico is currently providing oil that helps sustain the Cuban regime. The Trump administration may pressure Mexico to cut this supply, potentially pushing Cuba toward political collapse. 4. Jack Smith & January 6th Investigation Smith is accused of leading a politically motivated prosecution against Donald Trump. He allegedly relied on questionable or disproven testimony, notably from Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson’s dramatic claims (e.g., Trump lunging for a steering wheel) were not confirmed by eyewitnesses. Jim Jordan challenged Smith in hearings, accusing him of: Using unreliable witnesses. Conducting a partisan, anti-Trump investigation. Targeting large numbers of Republicans with subpoenas. 5. Crime Statistics & Trump Administration Policies Nationwide murder rates reportedly declined ~20% from 2024 to 2025. Approx. 1,400 fewer murders. Major cities showing decreases: Chicago: 30% NYC: 20% Baltimore: 31% Oakland: 33% Washington, D.C.: 31% (after National Guard deployment) Other violent crimes also declined: Motor vehicle theft: ↓25% Robbery: ↓18% Aggravated assault: ↓8% Law enforcement stats cited: Violent crime arrests: ↑100% Gangs disrupted: ↑210% Fentanyl seized: ↑31% Missing/abducted children located: ↑22% Human traffickers arrested: ↑15% Significant increase in arrests of espionage suspects and fugitives.

PLUS: Sterling Thrill's Friday check-in & Matt Rinker pivots from an ATL campaign to a State House raceShortly before the show, a federal judge shut down the DOJ's push for sensitive Georgia voter data, adding another chapter to the soap opera that is and has been unfolding under Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's tenure.

Jon Ossoff's critical re-election year, he's seen doing what's needed for constituents by speaking up for tiny Social Circle's municipal pleas for a planned ICE detention facility to not be jammed into their community. As we'd discussed with their city manager before, the community's resources would be overwhelmed. Ossoff is also assailing DHS / ICE for failing to pay medical bills since last fall, leaving some third party providers to wait until late April, and with some denying medical care for those being detained. Ron checks in with Matt Rinker, pivoting from an Atlanta city council bid to running for Tanya Miller's House seat while she focuses on her run for Attorney General. On a last look at headlines of the day:Fulton DA's office opts not to prosecute Patti DurandTune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

Today we're going to unpack some of the most explosive claims made ever- it's the testimony of Sascha Riley who claims he was used in a child trafficking ring run by President Donald Trump. From snuff films to SA of kids to people like Clarence Thomas, Jane Goodall, Jim Jordan, Epstein and more, we'll talk connections in to real life examples and even a factual dive into the Epstein files that may very well prove all of this is true...You can now sign up for our commercial-free version of the show with a Patreon exclusive bonus show called “Morning Coffee w/ the Weishaupts” at Patreon.com/BreakingSocialNorms  OR subscribe on the Apple Podcasts app to get all the same bonus “Morning Coffee” episodes AD-FREE with early access!

SEASON 4 EPISODE 49: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: BREAK the cover-up of the ICE murder of Renee Good: 1) INVESTIGATE regardless -on the state and county levels. 2) INDICT and ARREST the ICE shooter, Jonathan Ross (and the Trump militia members who were with him as accessories). 3) IMPEACH Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem, Ice Director Todd Lyons (and Border Czar Tom Homan. Representative Angie Craig says now the Noem impeachment will proceed). 4) Iif Noem or any other ICE or DHS official continues to stonewall local investigators seeking justice for the murdered women, indict and arrest them for OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. 5) When the Senate takes up the resolution to fund the government past January 30, all Democrats must refuse to vote yes unless ICE is neutered (and Trump's magic war wand as well). This is a pivotal moment in American history. ICE's reaction to its crimes has been to double down. It is now hiding behind this empty, corrupt demand that we all need to improve the “tone” and when they say “we” they mean “you” and when they say “tone” they mean “any criticism at all.” Tom Homan went on Fox and actually added to this bankrupt bromide, NEW threats. "There will be more bloodshed unless we decrease the hateful rhetoric.” Translation: if you keep criticizing us, we will keep shooting you. The acting ICE chief, Lyons, may be even worse. He is daring Minnesota to enforce its laws. “My message to the sheriff is: try and arrest my folks, let’s see what happens.” What should happen is the sheriff serving warrants to Ross, Noem, Lyons and the rest of their ICE street gang - with the Minnesota National Guard standing behind the sheriff. ALSO: Why are these fascists so obsessed with killing Americans? It may be the guns. Not the access to them: the physical impact on a shooter's brain by firing a weapon, as established by new tests. Plus updates on Trump doubling down on his Epstein Cover-up, Jim Jordan's moronic decision to let Jack Smith testify in public, and some Trump madness we should encourage. He wants to repel from a helicopter like Navy Seals. Yes please! Do it! B-Block (32:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: How Will Chamberlain, Laura Loomer, Matt Walsh and the philosopher of MAGA, Catturd, 180'd on action in places like Venezuela once they realized Trump had 540'd. The headline says 'Visas for Only Fans Models' but the article does not. And the only person who thinks Stephen A. Smith is a Democrat or a viable presidential candidate is Stephen A. Smith. Up to now it's been funny and a little sad. But now that he has defended the murder of Renee Good and sucked up to Trump and MAGA, it has to be said: to save the brand that they and a lot of people worked their lives to build, Disney chief Bob Iger and ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro have to fire Smith. Oh and - accordingly - I've re-named Stephen. C-Block (45:00) MONDAYS WITH THURBER: Only fitting. Next month it will have been a startling 95 years since James Thurber prophesied the advent of Trump. What would happen when America finally lionized its Worst? "The Greatest Man In The World."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jack Smith has testified to Congress. He wanted to testify publicly but Rep. Jim Jordan was afraid that the the testimony would make Trump look bad, so the Republican denied Smith's request to testify publicly. After the testimony, Rep Jamie Raskin said Jordan "made an excellent decision in not allowing Jack Smith to testify publicly, because had he done so, it would have been absolutely devastating to the president and all the president's men involved in the insurrectionary activities of January 6." Glenn discusses the implications of Smith's testimony.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Gov Josh Shapiro associates radical Muslim elements, including imams in Philadelphia, and providing $5 million to their academy, while hypocritically downplaying his Jewish heritage to non-Jews and emphasizing it to Jews, which is diabolical politics.  Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born intellectual, wrote an eye-opening article on Somali culture, which Shapiro ignores while funding radical Islamists. Immigrants must be vetted for assimilation potential. Governors Josh Shapiro and Spencer Cox are enabling cultural erosion through political correctness. The Islamist belief system is incompatible with Americanism. Afterward, it's important to educate the young people about America's history. They are brainwashed by misinformation and by an agenda they don't understand themselves, only because they were taught to do it. We need to educate our future generations, teaching them about people the unknown people who founded our country, such as Roger Sherman, Gunning Bedford Jr and Daniel of St Thomas Jenifer. Later, Rep Jim Jordan calls in to discuss his full support for the Antisemitism Awareness Act. There's a small but potentially growing anti-Israel stance among conservatives and it's worrisome. He also announces that Special Counsel Jack Smith will testify in a closed-door deposition under oath next Wednesday. Finally, North Carolina Senate candidate Michael Whatley calls in to discuss his race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
