Joanna Coles speaks with Rep. Maxwell Frost about the hate crime assault he was a victim of at the Sundance Film Festival—and why he says it's part of a much darker national pattern tied to political rhetoric, emboldened extremists, and a collapse of accountability in Washington. Rep. Frost describes how GOP lawmakers acquiesce to Trump and remain silent out of terror of primaries, retaliation, or being singled out by the president. He argues that this spinelessness has real-world consequences, linking escalating political violence, authoritarian instincts, and a system increasingly warped by greed and profiteering. As Frost warns that democracy itself is under threat, the question lingers: will Republicans ever find the backbone to stand up to Trump—and what happens if they don't? Hosted on Acast.

Last week, Virginia Democrats unveiled a new congressional map that could flip four of the five Republican seats in the U.S. House of Representatives in the midterm elections. However, the Virginia Supreme Court will now determine whether the Democrats' redistricting plan can proceed after a lower court blocked their efforts, ruling “that the Democrat-led Legislature had wrongly approved a constitutional amendment that would allow for mid-decade redrawing of congressional districts ahead of the midterms this fall,” Politico reported. Virginia state Del. Thomas Garrett Jr., R-Va., joins The Daily Signal's Virginia correspondent, Joe Thomas, to discuss the implications the proposed congressional map could have on the state's political makeup heading into the 2026 midterms.

In this episode, Bill reconnects with Ari Berman, National Voting Rights Correspondent for Mother Jones, to discuss potential threats to the fairness and legality of upcoming elections. Berman emphasizes concerns about former President Trump's potential interference and outlines how the federal government's recent actions, such as demanding state voter rolls, could suppress voter turnout. The discussion highlights fears of racial gerrymandering, the implications of the Save America Act, and the persistence of unfounded voter fraud claims. They also critique the limited support from Republicans for election integrity and consider the importance of safeguarding democratic processes against federal overreach. Bill recommends Ari's latest book, Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People―and the Fight to Resist It.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

It's Tuesday, February 10th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson, Timothy Reed, and Adam McManus Hong Kong man critical of Chinese Communists sentenced to 20 years In a Hong Kong court, religious freedom and free speech advocate Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to twenty years in prison for publishing articles against the communist Chinese government. Lai is a British Citizen and an adherent of the Catholic Church. World journalists are marking the case as a worldwide setback for freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The United Kingdom home office has responded to the news. The Hong Kong Free Press reports that “British national status holders will be able to immigrate into the U.K. with their children. The office estimates that 26,000 people will arrive in the U.K. over the next five years.” Thousands of Tanzanians murdered Political upheaval, tyranny, and blood in the streets is the order of the day in Tanzania over the last few months.  Some reports have revealed the government of President Samia Suluhu Hassan killed thousands of Tanzanians. Hassan is a Muslim who was re-elected in a landslide victory last October, marred by accusations of massive fraud.  That's when the African country was plunged into chaos and rioting.  The bloodshed and terror has gone on for months, reports The Washington Stand. In an effort to conceal the atrocities taking place there, the government has reportedly shut down the internet. Tanzania is at least nominally Christian with a 57 percent Christian population and a 37 percent Muslim population, as the Muslim creep hits south Saharan Africa. Christian martyrdom grows with Muslim population in Nigeria Islamic influence is growing in Nigeria as well — a nation where 56 percent of the population is Muslim and 43 percent is Christian. This has resulted in the martyrdom of 50,000 Christians and the displacement of millions of Christians from their homeland.   Pray for our Christian brothers and sisters and the people of Tanzania, Nigeria, and Uganda.  Civilian killings continue in Nigeria Last Tuesday, almost 200 Nigerians were killed by gunmen in the communities of Woro and Katsina, reports the International Center for Transitional Justice. Woro is located in the western Nigerian state of Kwara, while Katsina is in the northern region of the country. Psalm 35:1 says, “Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.” War Department will no longer work with Harvard War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the War Department will no longer send military officers to Harvard. He slammed the university for what he called its support of terrorism and the Chinese Communist Party.   Hegseth said, “Too many of our officers came back looking too much like Harvard — heads full of globalist and radical ideologies that do not improve our fighting ranks.” The War Department is set to re-evaluate all Ivy League school partnerships.  Virginia Democrats unveil gerrymandered congressional map Democrat lawmakers in Virginia put forward a new congressional map heading into the midterm elections this November. The Old Dominion state map heavily favors Democrats, giving them four extra seats, while the Republicans would lose four seats. This comes after the Supreme Court ruled that the new congressional map for California was valid, giving Democrats five additional seats. Virginia Democrats swept the last election, winning races for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General.  All told, gerrymandering in Virginia, California, and a few other states should yield the Democrats an additional 5 to 9 seats in Congress in 2026. And gerrymandering in Texas, North Carolina, and Missouri could yield the Republicans an additional 6 to 10 seats in the upcoming election. Connecticut works to expand abortion access Connecticut is launching a billboard campaign to promote abortion and death, reports LifeSiteNews. The campaign, sponsored by the Reproductive Equity Now Foundation, is advertising the state's commitment to make the killing of unborn children more accessible. Billboards will announce a state-provided pro-abortion hotline.  Connecticut Democrat Attorney General William Tong talked about his state's culture of death. He said, “Abortion is safe, legal and accessible here in Connecticut, and that's the way it's going to stay.”  But Proverbs 31:9 instructs us to “Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” GOP Rep chastises NBC & NFL for Bad Bunny's foul lyrics And finally, Sunday's Super Bowl half-time show turned into one big leftist political statement with Benito Ocasio, known as Bad Bunny, and a few other characters, who openly opposed President Trump's “America First” policies.   To his shame, the Puerto Rican singer sang a bunch of foul-mouthed, sexually-explicit lyrics in Spanish. Republican Congressman Randy Fine of Florida did not pull any punches in his X post. He wrote, “You can't say the f-word on live TV. Bad Bunny's disgusting halftime show was illegal. Had he said these lyrics -- and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth -- in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous. “We are sending FCC Chairman Brendan Carr a letter calling for dramatic action, including fines and broadcast license reviews, against the NFL, NBC, and Bad Bunny. Lock them up.” You can send a short 2-4 sentence letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, urging him to levy these fines.  The address is Federal Communications Commission, 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. Kid Rock, on Turning Point USA's half-time show, pointed to Christ Meanwhile, Turning Point USA, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, simulcast their alternative “All-American Halftime Show” featuring Robert Ritchie known as Kid Rock. Some 20 to 30 million Americans tuned in, reports Fox News. Kid Rock threw in another verse to the hit song “Til You Can't.” Check out the lyrics. KID ROCK: “There's a book a'sitting in your house somewhere that could use some dusting off . . . There's a man who died for all our sins a'hanging from the cross. You can give your life to Jesus and He'll give you a second chance, till you can't.”  Other performers included Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett.  War Secretary Pete Hegseth and House Speaker Mike Johnson both praised the Turning Point event, reports Politico.

Extra stories Trump administration provides lower costs on prescription drugs President Donald Trump unveiled Trump Rx, a plan that brings down medicine costs for American citizens. Trump Rx negotiates lower rates with drug companies, passing the savings directly to the consumer. The plan specifically helps those who pay for medications out of pocket. The president is calling on lawmakers to pass healthcare reform through Congress to further codify his agenda.   Senator launches caucus against Sharia Law Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama launched the new Sharia-Free America Caucus in the U.S. Congress, and has introduced a bill to ban Sharia Law in the United States. Tuberville said, “The strength of our country comes from one law applied equally to all. We cannot allow competing systems of governance to weaken that foundation.”

Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former member of Rush Limbaugh's highly overrated staff, sits in for Derek on Monday. Topics include the Super Bowl's cultural impact, the Bad Bunny halftime show watched on mute, DOW 50,000, TrumpRX, justice for Benghazi, the HBO documentary that tries to make Mel Brooks a victim, and how Democrats are seizing on President Trump blundering by sharing a video he didn't watch all the way through, resulting in a second or two of an October "Lion King" parody of the Obamas slipping through. Republicans are running for the tall grass in the vain hope that it'll save them.

After Donald Trump posted a viciously racist meme depicting the Obamas as apes, a self-identified three-time Trump voter called in to C-Span and unloaded. He described the meme as an “embarrassment to our country,” apologized for backing Trump, called out his lying and bribe-taking, and ripped him as “rotten” and “pathetic.” This comes after many Republicans condemned the post, leading the White House to take it down and blame an unnamed staffer for it. We think all this captures a newfound Trump-MAGA weakness in the culture. So we talked to New Republic senior editor Alex Shephard, author of a great new piece on the waning of Trump-MAGA's cultural dominance. We discuss how formidable Trump-MAGA's cultural relevance looked in 2024, why it has waned, how ICE has turned the culture against MAGA on a deep level, and what it all says about the future of MAGA and our country.  Learn more about your ad choices.

A whistleblower complaint is going after Tulsi Gabbard over a phone call, where the substance of the call can't be confirmed. This seems like the Democrat playbook of how to frame a Republican.  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

President Trump makes no secret about having a long list of perceived enemies. And for the people he targets, there's one lawyer many of them call: Abbe Lowell. The longtime Washington defense attorney built a career representing both Republicans and Democrats. But last year, Lowell left a partner position at a big firm to start his own office dedicated to helping those "unlawfully and inappropriately targeted" by the Trump administration. Kara and Lowell talk about his work representing clients like New York Attorney General Letita James, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and independent journalist Don Lemon; the strategy behind Trump's lawfare; and the ways Abbe is positioning his new practice to anticipate the Trump administration's next moves.

With over 83 percent public support, the SAVE Act should be a layup. So why are Democrats attacking it as "Jim Crow 2.0," and why is Republican leadership in the Senate stalling behind procedural excuses? This episode breaks down what the SAVE America Act actually does, why voter ID has overwhelming bipartisan support, and how the "suppression" narrative relies on racial gaslighting. From the myth of nationalized elections to the Senate's zombie filibuster, Professor Nick Giordano provides a blunt analysis of why election integrity has become a controversial fight in Washington. What You'll Learn What the SAVE Act really changes and why proof of citizenship matters for secure elections Why claims that voter ID is racist collapse under real-world scrutiny and polling data Black and Latino communities How voter roll maintenance works everywhere else in government and why elections are treated differently Why the zombie filibuster allows Senate leadership to block popular legislation without taking a public stand What the GOP's hesitation reveals about political courage and the upcoming 2026 midterms.

As the 2026 midterm season kicks off with primaries in Arkansas, North Carolina, and Texas, the political landscape is being shaped by President Trump's push for increased federal involvement in election oversight. This movement coincides with raids of election facilities in Georgia and Puerto Rico, as the administration continues to re-examine the results of the 2020 election. Republican strategist and co-founder of South and Hill Strategies, Colin Reed, joins the Rundown to break down the key issues taking center stage as candidates begin their fight for party wins. President Trump has signaled a renewed focus on veterans' health care, highlighting a significant reduction in benefit claim backlogs and a record number of homeless veterans being placed in permanent housing during the first year of his second term. Building on the reforms started during his first administration, the current leadership is pushing for a "generational change" intended to shift the focus from bureaucracy to individual patient needs. U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Collins, discusses the ongoing mission to eliminate wait times and address the critical issues of veteran homelessness and suicide.

Monday briefing: Republicans' Trump frustrations; Super Bowl ads; Epstein files; Winter Olympics; and moreRead today's briefing.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, we break down one of the most alarming news cycles yet—Trump posting racist imagery of the Obamas, the DOJ quietly deleting Epstein files that mention Trump, open calls to nationalize elections, and mounting evidence of authoritarian consolidation.We also talk Super Bowl halftime, Olympic boos, billionaire media takeovers, and whether Trump has ever read the Bible.

While spineless Republicans spent the last week denouncing Donald Trump for reposting a harmless video mocking the Obamas, a Texas Democrat explicitly stated the party's strategy to pit non-whites against white Americans. We'll also look at anti-white Super Bowl commercials and the national humiliation ritual of Bad Bunny performing at the halftime show.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyre Gab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyre YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyre Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:f Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre Learn more about your ad choices.

Rob talks to Senator Martin Heinrich about whether Republicans and Democrats will reach a permitting reform deal this year. They chat about what Democrats would need to see in such a deal, how it could help transmission projects, and why such a deal will ultimately need to constrain President Trump in some way.They also discuss the future of Democratic energy and climate policy — what Heinrich learned from the Biden administration, what the Inflation Reduction Act got right (and wrong), and why data centers are becoming a new kind of energy villain.Heinrich is the senior senator from New Mexico (and a well-known transmission policy nerd). He's also a trained mechanical engineer and the son of a utility lineman.
