News media and pundits too frequently perpetuate the notion that Latinos, both US-born and immigrants, are an invading force bent on destroying the American way of life. Leo R. Chavez challenges the basic tenets of this assumption and other myths of the "Latino threat," providing a critical investigation into the fears and prejudices that are used to malign an entire population. In this updated and expanded third edition of his groundbreaking book, Chavez incorporates Donald Trump's emergence in American political life, with particular focus on the US-Mexico border as a site of political theater and the further sharpening of anti-Latino and anti-immigration rhetoric in public discourse. He also includes new discussions of "anchor babies," Dreamers and DACA, Latina reproduction and white replacement theory, and the emotional and psychological effects of negative political rhetoric on those whom it targets. Through trenchant analysis, this book reexamines urgent questions about what it means to be American. Learn more about your ad choices.

Steve sits down with Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, for a wide-ranging and candid conversation on today's political and cultural flashpoints. They break down recent remarks from a Michigan Democrat that critics say cross the line into violent rhetoric, the growing double standard in how political speech is treated, and Sen. Dick Durbin's comments about prosecuting Republicans if Democrats regain power. The discussion also covers President Trump's proposed “Patriot Games,” the push to Make America Healthy Again, the left's outrage over legislation limiting puberty blockers for children, and even some lighter moments, from Christmas shopping to media firestorms involving Piers Morgan, Candace Owens, and Charlie Kirk. A fast-moving, no-nonsense conversation you won't want to miss.

The death of Bangladesh youth leader Osman Hadi has sparked violence and anti-India protests. ThePrint Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta breaks down the recent developments, reasons behind the fresh round of violence & its consequences on elections scheduled in February 2026.

Today's Headlines: Trump escalated toward open conflict with Venezuela by labeling the country a “foreign terrorist organization,” blockading sanctioned oil tankers, and laying groundwork that looks a lot like a path to war — even as U.S. oil companies quietly signal they're not interested in going back. Abroad, Britain's MI6 chief warned that tech billionaires and algorithms are reshaping global power faster than politicians, while Putin doubled down on threatening Ukraine with either invasion or “negotiation,” plus some nuclear saber-rattling for flair. Back home, Trump expanded his travel ban, House Republicans briefly rebelled to pass a doomed healthcare bill, and Jack Smith told Congress he found proof Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election and obstruct justice. The FCC chair openly claimed the agency isn't independent from the president — then removed the word “independent” from its website mid-hearing — as the Senate confirmed Elon Musk's friend to run NASA. Meanwhile, Dan Bongino announced he's quitting the FBI, Alan Dershowitz floated a very “it depends” take on a third Trump term, Ghislaine Maxwell moved to toss her conviction, and the DOJ is legally required to release the Epstein files tomorrow. On the crime front, the Brown University shooter is still at large, an MIT professor's killing is now a homicide investigation, Nick Reiner appeared in court for his parents' murders, and — in truly end-times energy — the Oscars are leaving ABC for YouTube.

It may be that bad mouthing a beloved American Icon on he day he died is too much for even Trump to overcome. Usually, the public expects cruelty from Trump and his outbursts bring a collective shrug. His nasty words about actor/director Rob Reiner being killed because of Trump Derangement Syndrome seem to have been a bridge too far.  Even some MAGA faithful are turning away and finding it hard to defend Trump this time.  We will talk about it with Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston.  It's Tech Tuesday and Jefferson Graham is back from from Japan and ready to talk gadgets.  The Mark Thompson Show 12/16/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

War-War: NATO Provocations and American Detachment from Europe — Gaius & Germanicus — Gaius reports on escalating aggressive rhetoric from NATO and fortification initiatives throughout the Baltic region, questioning whether these military deployments constitute "false flag" provocations deliberately designed to entrap the United Statesin direct warfare with Russia. Germanicus contends that European elites are systematically manufacturing an external Russian crisis to maintain institutional power and governmental legitimacy against ascending populist movements and deep-seated fear of abandonment by the new American "Emperor." Germanicus draws a historical parallel to the permanent schism of the Roman Empire in 395 AD, characterizing the United States as the prosperous, militarily secure Eastern Empire (Byzantine Constantinople) and contemporary Europe as the economically weak, militarily collapsing Western Empire facing irreversible institutional decay. Germanicus argues that just as Constantinople eventually ceased attempting to save the disintegrating Western Empire from Vandal invasions and territorial collapse, the United States is strategically detaching from European geopolitical failures, recognizing that continued military commitment represents strategic wastage of American resources without corresponding security benefit. Germanicus emphasizes that European strategic incompetence and political cowardice render European salvation impossible through Americanmilitary intervention, making strategic withdrawal the rational American policy response. 1944 GOLD BEACH H-HOUR

In September, a wave of protests emerged in Morocco led by the country's youth, known as GenZ 212. Since September, 3 people have been killed and 400 arrested according to Amnesty International. Triggered by the deaths of women in an Agadir hospital, the protest movement's demands come against the background of widespread unemployment and a lack of funding in health and education sectors. With King Mohammed VI's latest speech announcing budgetary increases and promises of reform, will this be enough to meet the movement's demands, and does the movement have enough momentum to continue? This panel of experts will take a look at the current protests, how they have been organised and their capacity to gather widespread support. Panellists will also provide broader political and historical analysis on the country, analysing how capacity for reform can be understood in light of the Kingdom's governance systems and political institutions.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm discussing my changing views on Israel, Donald Trump, and Candace Owens and why principles grounded in Scripture must always matter more than personalities.I'll discuss how easy it is to get swept up in political figures, influencers, and movements… all while forgetting that God alone is who we should be following. The devil is just like a stalker prowling around, watching, scheming, seeking someone to devour. And in these chaotic times, he's using deception, manipulation, and emotional brainwashing to pull people into confusion and ultimately into Hell.In this episode, we're talking about how the synagogue of Satan is operating openly today, pushing narratives meant to distract and divide. I am urging my listeners to stay anchored in the Word, remain spiritually alert, and refuse to be seduced by personalities, platforms, or “conservative celebrities” who very well may not be aligned with God's truth.Ultimately, we all need to return to the Bible (now more than ever) and to guard our minds and souls as the days grow darker and darker.--https://www.bible.com/

Him and his wife live on a picturesque 150 acres at the base of Cardigan Mountain in New Hampshire. In the winter, he often skis to his cabin office to introspectively write.He teaches how to persuade parents, children, and audiences of all sizes and to disagree without anger. Rhetoric lets us make choices together without wanting to kill each other. It inoculates us from evil manipulation. And it makes everything (advertising, movies, the persuasive wildlife in our backyard) endlessly interesting.Rhetoric once sat at the center of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare, and Martin Luther King, Jr., used it to build empires, write deathless literature, and inspire democracies. Now it will help you to take leadership over yourself; not through pop psychology or empty inspiration, but with persuasive tools that have been evaluated for more than three thousand years.The book has been published in eighteen languages and has four editions with more than 700,000 copies in print; at one point it ranked among the top ten books assigned at Harvard. A simpler guide is How to Argue with a Cat: A Human's Guide to Persuasion. Just for fun, he authored a novel, The Prophet Joan. And his latest book is Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion.He is the author of “Thank You for Arguing: What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us About the Art of Persuasion.” https://www.jayheinrichs.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

President Trump has taken aim at Minnesota’s Somali community, with xenophobic remarks and calls for their removal from the U.S. It coincides with a new ICE operation in the Twin Cities targeting Somali immigrants. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports on the community’s response and how we arrived at this point, including a sweeping fraud scandal that has gripped the state.

Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, joins Steve to kick off a wide-ranging conversation, starting with the brutal cold snap gripping the Midwest. From frozen lakes to risky ice driving, the two share stories of locals who test their luck… and end up watching their vehicles sink through the ice. But the conversation quickly pivots to something far more serious: the dangerous rhetoric coming from Democrat leadership and the real-world consequences that follow. Steve and Ivey dig into the recent capture of the pipe bomber from January 5th, 2021, noting that it happened only after Trump's team returned to power. So the big question is unavoidable: Why wasn't this suspect found under Biden's watch? From political narratives to law-enforcement priorities, Ivey breaks down the contrast in leadership and why actions, not speeches, tell the real story.

The suspension includes green card and U.S. citizenship processing, according to a memorandum.The House Homeland Security Committee will hear testimonies from leaders of law enforcement associations regarding how anti-law enforcement rhetoric is fueling violence against officers nationwide.

Rhetoric is ramping up against two voter initiatives – and words have consequences. Socialist state lawmaker to introduce damaging new tax proposal. Minnesota fraud shares similarities with Washington mismanagement. Former UW president fails up. Bill would create a new tax for paid protesters. 

Somali Minnesotans are being targeted by the Trump administration. On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke about the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme, citing convictions of people of Somali descent. Leavitt used the case to drive home a narrative that Somalis who emigrated to Minnesota should leave the country. President Donald Trump – has without proof – said that Somali people are funneling money to the terrorist group Al Shabaab. And the U-S Treasury is now investigating that claim. Joining Minnesota Now to talk about the impact of the rhetoric from the federal government in Ahmed Samatar, James Wallace professor of international studies at Macalester College.

As the contours of public debate coarsen, it's easy to brand political rivals with epithets from the worst chapters in history. Tom Nichols, a writer for The Atlantic, warns about doing just that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

United States President Donald Trump has threatened a ground invasion of Venezuela to disrupt what he claims is a vast drug-trafficking network. The U-S military has already deployed thousands of troops and dozens of warships to the Caribbean as a U-S air campaign that has killed at least 83 people continues. But how likely is an all-out war with their South American neighbour, really?

Joe Concha, Fox News Contributor and author of The Greatest Comeback Ever: Inside Trump's Big Beautiful Campaign, joined The Guy Benson Show today to examine the tragic National Guard shooting in Washington, DC, and the misplaced outrage from mainstream media voices who rushed to blame Trump for deploying the National Guard in the first place. Despite the attack being carried out by a jihadist, many in the media preached that the shooting was merely a consequence of having men and women in uniform deployed. Concha walked through some of the disgusting online commentary attempting to rationalize the killings, and he argued that increasingly unhinged Democratic rhetoric is inflaming tensions nationwide and may even be  inspiring violent actions. Concha also explained why he believes this climate amounts to a "permission slip to violence," especially when paired with Biden's border policies, which Concha says have opened the door to attacks like this. Benson and Concha then discussed Sen. Mark Kelly twisting Trump's asylum pause into a smear about not wanting "brown people" entering the country, and finally, the pair broke down the media's double standard when it comes to Trump's health versus Biden's.

In today's explosive episode, we dive into the aftermath of a tragic National Guard shooting and explore the dangerous rhetoric contributing to rising violence.

Politicians in Westminster are always falling all over themselves to sound tough on crime. But with so-called “low level” crimes like shoplifting and phone snatching now at record levels, the rhetoric on “lawless” Britain has been growing ever louder. This week, host Patrick Baker has been to Dagenham in outer London where the Labour MP Margaret Mullane says she fears parts of her local area are being overrun with street crime. After speaking to local residents and shop owners about their fears, Patrick speaks to the Policing Minister Sarah Jones in Parliament about how the government is planning to cut crime and make people feel safer. Gavin Stephens, chief of the National Police Chief's Council, sets out why he believes Westminster's obsession with police numbers makes policing harder and what reforms he feels are needed tackle the worsening perception of crime in Britain. And Andrew Greig of the security think tank RUSI explains how social media is amplifying public fears — and says policy makers face tough tradeoffs when trying to tackle crime.

Senior thesis is the capstone of a classical Christian education, and Dr. Tom Vierra believes it may be one of the most countercultural things schools do today. In this episode, Davies Owens talks with Tom, longtime classical educator and Senior Thesis Coordinator at Wilson Hill Academy, about why thesis is far more than “just a big paper.” Tom shares his path from early days at Great Hearts to helping shape Wilson Hill's senior thesis program, where students research a topic that matters, write a 12–15 page thesis-driven paper, and publicly defend it. Along the way, they learn self-management, deep research, biblical reasoning, and confident communication that carry far beyond college.Together they unpack the six-part classical rhetoric structure, including exordium, narratio, and refutatio, and why Wilson Hill requires students to write an antithesis paper arguing against their own position. This habit trains humility, civil discourse, and the ability to engage real counterarguments rather than living in an echo chamber. Tom also gives examples of standout thesis topics, from classical music and beauty to AI in medicine and political theory, and explains how schools can approve ambitious topics that still reflect a biblical worldview.

Spoiler: They're gaslighting the ranks with zero specifics, just vibes. Trump fires back calling it sedition punishable by death (he got the penalty wrong, but the charge? Spot on). We break down the real deal—sedition's 20 years, treason's the death penalty stuff like Milley's China stunt.

Today we talk about the philosophical themes of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. We talk about the hypocrisy and false nostalgia of political violence. The ironies of living by a moral ideal like honor. Rhetoric as a site of where political power is won and lost in a republic. And Brutus as a unique kind of tragic hero somewhere between Stoicism and Christianity.
