In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: The U.S. and Iran are trading strikes once again, with Tehran now targeting American bases in the Gulf. We'll break down what's happening and what it reveals about the fragile ceasefire. Israel agrees to withdraw from two positions in southern Lebanon under a new U.S.-brokered framework agreement. But Hezbollah is already rejecting the deal as a surrender of Lebanese sovereignty. Plus, we'll have the latest on the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, where the death toll continues to climb as rescuers race against time to find survivors beneath the rubble. And in today's Back of the Brief, we'll tell you how Somali intelligence helped U.S. authorities arrest the alleged ringleader of a massive Minnesota fraud case after locating him in Mogadishu.

- The episode opens with the launch of the America 250 celebration in Washington, casting it as a patriotic showcase of military pride, music, history, and national identity while several blue states refuse to participate. - A major focus is the deepening split between patriotic celebration and progressive governance, with Boston and Massachusetts singled out for elevating Somali symbolism while opting out of a national tribute to America's founding. - The show warns that New York's recent elections are not an isolated flare-up but a model for how socialists and anti-American radicals can spread through other blue cities with low-turnout primaries and disciplined ideological voters. - Brad Lander's win is framed as another sign of political submission to the city's hard-left base, with the episode arguing that open hostility to Israel and deference to Muslim political power now function as electoral currency in Democratic politics. - The episode closes on Caitlin Clark, pointing to another violent sequence on the court and her omission from a major WNBA anniversary campaign as proof that jealousy inside the league is turning into open targeting of the player who transformed its relevance.

We opened this episode of The Dr. Peter Breggin Hour acknowledging the weight of our times. For the past week, we've explored how to live meaningfully amid chaos, threats, and cultural unraveling. That conversation remains vital. But reality does not pause for comfort. This week, we returned to the difficult terrain with our friend J.J. Carroll — a man of uncommon courage, a former law enforcement officer with decades on the border and in fugitive operations, a truth-teller who was recently fired for daring to speak plainly on the very issues he lived. J.J.'s experiences are not abstract. They have been forged in daily encounters with violence in the six months he worked with ICE in 2025-2026 and the violence he faced for 24 years as a Border Patrol Officer, arresting drug cartel members on the Southern border. He describes a nation where the demographic transformation is not subtle policy but visible, measurable destruction. J.J. is a firsthand witness to the continued open borders, net increases in illegal immigration, and jobs going overwhelmingly to non-Americans while native-born citizens, especially White males, are sidelined. Government data he cites paints a stark picture: hundreds of arrests daily, yet a system so backlogged that true mass deportations feel like a distant promise rather than a current reality. We do not shy away from these realities on this show. America was built by a specific people with a specific culture — a White, Christian, European-rooted nation that achieved greatness through shared values, faith, rule of law, and high-trust communities. Pretending otherwise dishonors history and endangers the future. As J.J. powerfully states, demographics shape destiny. When you import millions from cultures with vastly different norms, lower average IQs, and incompatible worldviews — often without any expectation of assimilation — you do not enrich; you transform, and not for the better. Europe is learning this lesson in blood and social collapse. We ignore it at our peril. Even now, the mayhem is surging onto our shores. The rising tide of migrant violence and social breakdown is unmistakable across Europe and England, where no-go zones, knife crime, and gang rapes have become grim daily realities. Here in the United States, the pattern repeats in major cities like New York and beyond. The many stories of murders, rapes, and other violence by illegal immigrant populations are not isolated tragedies; they are the predictable consequence of policies that prioritize unassimilated foreign populations over the safety and future of our own children. We have a huge country to manage with almost 350 million souls living here from all parts of the world. There are issues with continued illegal border crossings, international drug trafficking into the US, and massive issues of fraud and theft on a level never before identified that threatens to demolish us and invites totalitarianism to come and take charge. The Judeo-Christian foundational culture that created America and those individuals who were all part of it are being shredded by our political and intellectual elite and other cultures coming from far different places in the world who want no part of what we have here in terms of civilization. A significant number of these people have no understanding of respect for human life, the rule of law, the US Constitution, basic rules of life, or rules of the road that we take for granted. How does that ignorance translate into the daily lives of citizens? No respect for human life translates into murder, including the deliberate attacks on people who are strangers by perpetrators using trucks, knives, guns, and other weapons. No understanding of, agreement with, and respect for the rule of law translates into fraud and theft on a massive basis, employing lying, subterfuge, and cunning to swindle, cheat, and steal from individuals and from American citizens through federal theft. In California, several massive, multi-million-dollar fraud rings involving illegal immigrants and transnational criminal organizations have recently been dismantled by federal authorities for stealing taxpayer-funded welfare, COVID-19 relief, and tax revenue. Similar large-scale fraud operations tied to Somali communities have also plagued Minnesota, further draining public resources intended for American citizens. This cultural incompatibility extends even to everyday infrastructure. Illegal immigrant commercial drivers, often poorly trained, unlicensed, or operating stolen or improperly maintained vehicles, are contributing to chaos on our highways. Serious accidents, deadly pile-ups, and overwhelmed emergency services have increased in areas with high concentrations of such drivers, adding yet another layer of preventable danger to American families who simply want to travel safely on roads built and maintained by prior generations. As Elizabeth Nickson has powerfully documented in her recent Substack column “White Boy's Summer,” the impact across Europe has been devastating. Decades of mass migration have been accompanied by a deliberate political project that has taught many newcomers to view the native populations — the very citizens who built and sustain these societies as producers, taxpayers, and keepers of the culture — with resentment and outright hatred. (See: White Boy's Summer) The Spiritual Dimension This is not merely political or economic. It is spiritual. We agreed that there is a degree of evil walking the world that we have not seen before. Both concepts of evil and love have been banished from intellectual discussion, laughed at as old-fashioned. Cultural relativism — the idea that all cultures and moral systems are equally valid with no objective standard by which to judge them — is the opposite of these terms. Allan Bloom's 1987 bestseller, The Closing of the American Mind, sounded the warning but was quickly buried in intellectual and media circles with a wave of multiculturalism, DEI, calls of racism to silence critics, and a focus on bending reality with transgenderism and other tales that have left devastation in their path. J.J. speaks as a believer who sees Satan as the source of evil roaming the earth, a force that delights in the slaughter of the innocent — 63 million abortions, the mutilation of children under transgender ideology, and the darkest allegations tied to elite networks like those surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. The failure to fully release the Epstein files, despite promises and power, is a profound betrayal. When those in authority protect the powerful at the expense of justice for children, the system stands condemned. Peter and I have long warned about the moral free fall — the erosion of the Ten Commandments in public and private life, the suppression of love and conscience, the celebration of evil in entertainment and elite circles. Occult influences, ritualistic abuses, and a rejection of God create a void that darkness eagerly fills. We see it in the boldness of anti-human spectacles at major events and in the quiet despair of families watching their children be targeted. We Refuse Despair We do not exempt leaders from scrutiny. While Donald Trump remains the strongest border president in modern memory, serious disappointments linger — continued promotion of mRNA technology, the absence of full accountability for past crimes, and an emperor-like tone in some foreign policy pronouncements. Real change requires more than one man. It demands people willing to reclaim their inheritance. Yet we refuse despair. Peter reminded us of the Black Robed Regiment — the ministers who fueled the American Revolution with Judeo-Christian conviction. The Black Robed Regiment was the courageous pastors and clergy of the Revolutionary era. They preached biblical principles of liberty, justice, and resistance to tyranny from their pulpits and from town to town in Colonial days, leading up to the American Revolution, while dressed in their distinctive black robes. These men were instrumental in shaping the fundamental, encompassing worldviews of individual freedom, liberty, and release from tyranny. These courageous and hardy pastors, ministers, and clerics rallied the American people, framing the fight for independence as a sacred duty and providing the moral and spiritual backbone of our nation's birth. We need a similar revival today: a return to the fundamentals of faith, family, and constitutional order. J.J. finds hope in his teenage son's generation and the friends he drives around — young people who are more politically engaged and spiritually aware than many in prior generations. They are turning away from the emptiness of the sexual revolution, materialism, and identity chaos, and they want none of it. Across the country, our youngest generations — Gen Z and Alpha — are showing signs of a quiet but powerful shift, returning to God, traditional churches, and core American values of family, self-reliance, and ordered liberty. Reports and surveys document rising interest in Christianity, declining support for extreme gender ideology, and a renewed appreciation for the Founding principles that made this nation exceptional. Young girls, too, are increasingly rejecting the glitter culture of hyper-sexualization and fluid identity in favor of something more grounded and enduring. Small Is Beautiful: Love in Action In the face of such overwhelming disorder, the answer begins at home. Make your home a sanctuary. Love your spouse fiercely. Raise your children in truth. Plant apple trees — literally, as Peter and I recently did in our backyard. Build a real community where you are. Civility, trust, and decency radiate outward from strong families. As Peter emphasized at the close, the world's evil fades by comparison to the love we put into it. God will measure us by that love. In a time when elites peddle division and death, we counter with creation, fidelity, and courage. This conversation with J.J. Carroll is raw, unflinching, and necessary. We invite you to listen to the full episode. Let it stir you — not to hopelessness, but to renewed commitment. Speak truth. Reject the lies about our nation's Founding and character. Protect the innocent. Cling to God. And never apologize for loving your people, your culture, and your children's future. We continue our series on living faithfully in dark days — see our recent “Small Is Beautiful” piece on Substack. Your presence here, your subscriptions, and your own acts of courage sustain our work. We love you, dear audience. Stay strong. The fight is generational, but good men and women — and a sovereign God — are not easily defeated.
Resurgent Piracy in the Gulf of Aden. Guest: Bridget Toomey and Bill Roggio. Bridget Toomey reports a resurgence of Somali piracy, with three ships recently captured for ransom in the Gulf of Aden. Bill Roggio links this spike to Al-Shabaab's growth and suggests that pirate networks may be coordinating with the Houthis to facilitate weapons smuggling and increase regional instability. 101721
SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-22-26.1787The Fog of Diplomacy in the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Ambassador Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio. Guests discuss competing headlines regarding "progress" in US-Iran negotiations and ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Ambassador Haqqani notes neither side has achieved its original war aims, while Bill Roggio argues the US lacks the military will to reopen the Strait, leaving Iran with the strategic advantage. 1Pakistan as a Strategic Mediator. Guest: Ambassador Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio. John Batchelor examines Pakistan's role as a mediator between the United States and Iran. Ambassador Haqqani explains that Pakistan provided an "exit ramp" for the Trump administration by utilizing its unique access to the IRGC and Iran's power structure to facilitate communication and avoid further military escalation. 2Hamas Sidelined in Regional Talks. Guest: Samuel Ben-Ur and Bill Roggio. Samuel Ben-Ur explains why Hamas has been sidelined in recent Iranian negotiations compared to Hezbollah. Relations soured when Hamas failed to support Iranian strikes against Qatari targets. Currently, Hamas remains funded by Qatar and Turkey while maintaining a brutal "reign of terror" over the portions of Gaza it still controls. 3The Legality and Lethality of Armed Conflict. Guest: Henry Sokolski. Henry Sokolski analyzes a public memo from Admiral Brad Cooper regarding the legitimacy of lethal force. They discuss the necessity of proportionality in conflict, arguing that avoiding civilian targets like nuclear reactors is a military requirement for success, as destroying essential infrastructure alienates populations and complicates future operations. 4Latin America's Shift to the Right. Guest: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa. Guests discuss the right-wing political shift in Latin America following Abelardo De La Espriella's apparent victory in Colombia. They compare his security-focused platform to the Bukele model in El Salvador, emphasizing a mandate to combat the organized crime that has historically penetrated the region's political systems. 5The Slow-Motion Coup in Bolivia. Guest: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa. The segment addresses the crisis in Bolivia, where Evo Morales is accused of orchestrating a "slow motion coup" via blockades. Ernesto Araújo criticizes Brazilian President Lula's silence on the matter, while Alejandro Peña Esclusa suggests that regional support for the elected government may finally lead to Morales facing legal consequences. 6The Failure to Counter Chinese Influence. Guest: Bill Gertz and Gordon Chang. Bill Gertz details a GAO report revealing that the US spent $1.2 billion on countering Chinese influence without evaluating its impact. The discussion highlights the superior effectiveness of Chinese information warfare, which outspends the US significantly to shape global narratives while American efforts lack a cohesive strategy. 7The Crisis in Air Force Procurement. Guest: General Blaine Holt and Gordon Chang. General Blaine Holt critiques the broken US procurement system, specifically the Air Force's contradictory stance on retiring the A-10 Warthog while keeping the B-52 bomber for a century. He advocates for reform to break contractor monopolies, allowing the military to innovate faster and field cheaper equipment. 8Iran's Economic Demands in Switzerland. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer and Bill Roggio. Jonathan Schanzer argues that Iran is seeking a systemic economic lifeline through billions in unfrozen assets. He criticizes recent US oil waivers as a sign of caving to pressure. Iran aims to link a Lebanon ceasefire to negotiations to delay nuclear discussions and drive a wedge. 9Resurgent Piracy in the Gulf of Aden. Guest: Bridget Toomey and Bill Roggio. Bridget Toomey reports a resurgence of Somali piracy, with three ships recently captured for ransom in the Gulf of Aden. Bill Roggio links this spike to Al-Shabaab's growth and suggests that pirate networks may be coordinating with the Houthis to facilitate weapons smuggling and increase regional instability. 10The Flaws of the Iran Memorandum. Guest: Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio. Edmund Fitton-Brown critiques the current US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, calling it a failure of negotiation that incorporates "every Iranian trick." He argues Iran's core goals—the destruction of Israel and the expulsion of US influence—remain unchanged, and that the US has displayed a defeatist lack of patience. 11Eurasian Interests in Middle East Conflict. Guest: Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio. Guests discuss how Russia and China are benefiting from America's Middle East difficulties, often frustrating US objectives on the nuclear file. Fitton-Brown notes the Europeans have been "anemic," failing to coordinate a forceful naval presence to ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains reliably open for global energy trade. 12Ukraine's Military Manpower Crisis. Guest: John Hardie and Bill Roggio. John Hardie discusses Ukrainian military reforms aimed at addressing the manpower crisis by clarifying pay and contract lengths. While intended to prevent desertion, there is skepticism that the government can fulfill promises to discharge long-serving troops without risking a collapse of the front lines against Russia. 13Hezbollah's Shadow Banking System. Guest: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio. Ahmad Sharawi examines Al-Qard Al-Hassan, Hezbollah's financial arm that provides social services and interest-free loans outside the official banking system. Although Israel has targeted its branches, the Lebanese government is hesitant to shut it down, allowing it to sustain the group's operations through gold-backed financing. 14The $216 Billion Rebuild of Syria. Guest: Josh Rogin and Bill Roggio. Josh Rogin reports that Syria requires $216 billion for reconstruction following the fall of the Assad regime. He explains that US "State Sponsor of Terrorism" sanctions prevent American businesses from bidding on contracts, leaving an opening for Chinese and Russian technology to dominate the new government's infrastructure. 15Recommendations for a New Syria Policy. Guest: Josh Rogin and Bill Roggio. Josh Rogin recommends that the US prepare to lift the terrorism designation on Syria to support reconstruction and counter adversarial influence. He argues the current Al-Shara government is the only viable partner for stability and that US bureaucratic inertia is currently benefiting China, Russia, and Iran. 16

May God have mercy on us and the UK…Keir Starmer: “I want to congratulate the Muslim community for their brilliant work and exemplary achievements in the UK. Islamophobia is the problem in the country, and I'm utterly committed to eradicating it from society.”A minimum of 250,000 young White girls were targeted, groomed and then raped, trafficked, and tortured.The perpetrators of this evil followed the same patterns and behaviors; they pretended to befriend vulnerable girls, many of them as as young as eleven. They used with gifts, drugs, and alcohol before subjecting the girls to group rapes, beatinhs, blackmail, forced pregnancies, forced conversion it Islam, and ultimtately trafficking them.Many of the UK's “social pillar” institutions like the police, NHS, social services, schools, and politicians failed victims when they chose to like, deny the events happened and actively ignored reports. Perhaps worse was the criminalization of victims, mechanical destruction of evidence, and the blatant decision to value their concept of political correctness and fears of “racism” accusations over protecting the girls of the UK.This was a cime gang largely run by, and people by Muslims. 87–95% of convicted perpetrators in the cases of organized, gang-centric child sexual trafficking and exploitation cases were Muslim, most commonly Pakistani Muslim gangs. These gangs operated in 149 local authority districts. Groups from Somali, Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, and other Muslim origins were also involved.These were crimes reminscent of cartel and mafia violence. The criminals worked under a Muslim honour- and shame-based code; they treated the UK's non-Muslim girls, especially white working class girls, as chatel or property available for sexual use. Muslim rapists and enforced told the girls they're “White trash” who deserved punishment.The man that gave 13,000 suspected Muslim rape gang members & paedophiles warning letters instead of jail & deportation & that covered up the Muslim rape gangs says those speaking up against Muslim rape gangs & importing rape gangs are the problem.The Full Rape Gang Inquiry and Report: WARNING - This is incredibly hard to read!
MAGA-aligned lawmakers in Washington State are importing California's election chaos and pointing it straight at Bob Ferguson. The LA mayoral primary's glacially slow vote count — where Spencer Pratt is somehow still in contention — has become exhibit A in a coordinated campaign to cast doubt on Washington's mail-in voting system, and by extension, on Ferguson's own gubernatorial victory.Here's what critics won't engage with honestly: every mail-in race, no voter ID required, no in-person verification, produces Democrat wins. Every time. Sean's kid stood in line at Lumen Field and watched his vote get counted same-day — but the state's mail-in infrastructure, where ballots trickle in for weeks with zero identity check, is apparently above questioning. Critics call it "red meat for the base" and "insane conspiracy theory nonsense." Fine. They also called the Somali ballot-harvesting scheme in Minneapolis a wild right-wing conspiracy — right up until $250 million in fraud charges.The former state GOP chair can call these claims baseless all he wants. The pattern is the pattern. Bob Ferguson won, the state's mail-in system will never be meaningfully audited, and anyone who asks a follow-up question gets labeled an election denier. The gap between a conspiracy theory and the truth, as Sean puts it, is about six months.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode.#Seattle #WAPolitics #BusinessClimateGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

EP 676 WORLD CUP 2026 DISASTER? Somali Referee BANNED | The Nike Counterfeit Empire!
Ranking second on the 2026 World Watch List, Somalia remains one of the most dangerous countries in the world for followers of Jesus. Public Christian worship is forbidden; conversion from Islam is illegal; and the militant terrorist group, Al-Shabaab, continues its violent campaign to eliminate Christianity – openly executing anyone suspected of having faith in Jesus. In the midst of this intense persecution, God is powerfully at work. Through the ministry of Somalia Christian TV, countless Somalis are hearing the Gospel, and thereby encountering Jesus for the first time. The media ministry, led by former Somali Muslims Shino and Shania Gabo, is reaching deep into Somali communities with the hope, truth and life-changing message of God's salvation through Christ. During this episode of Closer to the Fire, podcast host Greg Musselman is joined by Shino and Shania who will be sharing their remarkable testimonies. In addition to revealing the tremendous impact that this couple's growing media outreach is having on so many lives in Somalia, the interview will also address the real dangers they continue to face because of their courageous faith.

(01:38) Het WK voetbal in de VS, Mexico en Canada is al sinds donderdag van start, maar deze zondag mag eindelijk ook het Nederlandse elftal officieel beginnen: om 22:00 uur Nederlandse tijd speelt Oranje zijn eerste wedstrijd tegen Japan. Alleen zijn de ogen dit WK niet alleen op het veld gericht, maar ook op de Amerikaanse immigratiediensten: In Miami werd de beste scheidsrechter van Afrika, de Somaliër Omar Artan, deze week de toegang tot de VS ontzegd. Ook het Irakese nationale elftal werd op het asfalt van het vliegveld gefouilleerd; sommigen werden zelfs uren ondervraagd. Het is volgens migratie-historicus Leo Lucassen bedoeld als power play van de regering-Trump: kijk eens hoe streng wij zijn. En het is zeker niet voor het eerst dat een staatshoofd een groot sportkampioenschap gebruikt als podium voor hun politiek, aldus Lucassen. (12:08) Het was één van de laatste veilige plekken in Zuid-Libanon: het oude centrum van Tyrus, ook bekend als de christelijke wijk, die al millennia lang bewoond wordt. Maar afgelopen week heeft Israël voor het eerst gedwongen evacuatiebevelen uitgevaardigd voor ook die wijk van de oude stad. Bij bombardementen kwamen tot nu toe acht mensen om het leven. Journalist en schrijver Mounir Samuel bezocht Tyrus meerdere keren, voor het laatst afgelopen december, toen bijna niemand dat meer deed. Hij vreest voor het erfgoed van Tyrus en haar zusterstad Sidon: die staat of valt niet alleen vanwege de stenen, maar juist ook vanwege de mensen en de cultuur. (28:43) Wie straks online porno wil kijken moet misschien eerst via een app bewijzen oud genoeg te zijn; tenminste, als het aan de Europese Unie ligt. Maar deze week waarschuwden deskundigen: zo'n leeftijdscheck is lang niet altijd anoniem, want in theorie kan precies worden bijgehouden wie welke site bezoekt. Een hypermodern probleem? Zorgen over wie er meekijkt bij wat we achter gesloten deuren bekijken en trucjes om zo anoniem te blijven zijn zo oud als de pornografie zelf, aldus hoogleraar cultuurgeschiedenis Inger Leeman, vandaag te gast. (40:27) Elke week bespreken we historische tips met afwisselend Nadia Bouras, Wim Berkelaar, Bart Funnekotter, Sanne Frequin, en Fresco Sam-Sin. Deze week is de beurt aan Nadia Bouras. Zij bespreekt twee boeken en een tentoonstelling: Queer geschiedenis van Nederland - Marijke Huisman Woorden als wapens - Saul van Stapele Het land van Hagelslag - Tentoonstelling (https://www.hartmuseum.nl/tentoonstellingen/het-land-van-hagelslag/) Hart Museum (58:10) Een filosoof, die zit achter een bureautje, op afstand van de wereld. Niet direct een vruchtbaar onderwerp voor een musical. En toch inspireerden het leven en denken van Baruch Spinoza tot een muzikaal spektakel dat vanaf begin deze maand te zien is in het Amsterdamse Bostheater. Maar hoe transformeer je het verhaal van deze 17e eeuwse denker tot een 21e eeuws verhaal over de wereld van nu? Dat vertelt regisseur van Spinoza – de Mokum musical Guy Weizman. (01:10:33) OVT Doc: De verdwenen Rembrandts Het Rembrandthuis in Amsterdam viert vandaag zijn 125e verjaardag. Een goed excuus voor ons om de documentaire te herhalen die Laura Stek in 2019 maakte over het wonderbaarlijke verhaal van twee schilderijen van Rembrandt. Het waren de lievelingen van de laatste Poolse koning, er werd om de werken gevochten door Hitler en Göring, en even leken ze in een grote brand verloren te zijn gegaan. Tot ze in 1994 opeens weer opdoken: de twee Rembrandtschilderijen Meisje in een schilderijlijst en Geleerde aan zijn lessenaar. Nu hangen ze in het Koninklijk Paleis in Warschau. Laura Stek maakte deze documentaire op basis van het boek Het meisje en de geleerde van Gerdien Verschoor.

It's the most exciting time for soccer fans and sports lovers alike, as World Cup 2026 kicks off across North America. But in the shadows of fan fests and buzzing bars remains the very stark reality of strict US immigration policy that threatens the very nature of the tournament. Somali referee Omar Artan was sent back to Turkey upon his arrival in Miami earlier this month after White House officials claimed he'd been in contact with terrorists. Meanwhile, the Iranian team has been advised they can't stay in the US before or after a match, forcing their accommodations onto Mexican soil instead. Guest Host Devang Desai speaks to Founder and Host of Soccerwise, David Gass, to discuss the immigration fallout from the World Cup thus far and how geopolitical tensions may overshadow the game.

If there were a throughline for North Dakota's recent primary vote that ran from the top-of-the-ticket statewide races to local competitions like the Fargo mayoral race, it would be the rejection of belligerent ideologues in favor of pragmatic public servants. That's the argument Fargo's mayor-elect Josh Boschee made on this episode of Plain Talk. "North Dakotans want people who are going to get to work," Boschee said, as opposed to candidates who are "hung up on ideology." Voters want public servants, not talk radio hosts and influencers, it seems. Boschee, a long-time Democratic state Senator, won the nonpartisan race over City Commissioner Michelle Turnberg, a self-described "conservative" who has adopted a belligerent approach to elected office and remains in her current office. How will the new mayor contend with that sort of friction, which, in recent years, has become routine in Fargo's city government? He says he's ready for it. "I think some people want to frame it as, because we were two opponents, and we'll be working together, that there might be a lot of conflict, and that certainly may end up being true. But as you guys have seen me in the legislature, I mean, there are plenty of legislators that use a similar leadership style as Commissioner Turnberg, and I've been able to work with them, especially when we focus on the issues that we share." Boschee says he's focused on being a mayor for everyone in Fargo, including those who voted against him. "I've been in a lot of elections, and what I've learned, for one thing, is elections are about addition and not subtraction," he said. "And when you only focus on your base, you only focus on the people who are cheerleading you or pat you on the back every time you say something or comment on Facebook, you're not going to grow your coalition." In his victory speech after the election, Boschee made reference to a recent Facebook post made by Fargo-area Rep. Desiree Morton, objecting to volunteers of Somali heritage volunteering to help the campaigns of Republican U.S. Rep. Julie Fedorchak and local legislative candidates. He told us he thought it was something important to highlight. "20% of Fargo are people of color. A good number of them are folks who come from other parts of the world," he said. "I've stood up to my legislative colleagues when they've said inappropriate things about other North Dotans, and that's not going to change in the mayor's office." Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discussed the similarities between Boschee and Gov. Kelly Armstrong, despite their obvious ideological differences, as well as the decline of North Dakota's populist movement.

Halkna ka dhegeyso warka maanta oo Jimce ah 12 June 2026
The 2026 World Cup kicked off last night in Mexico, after a series of controversies in the lead up, including over visas for foreign teams, fans, media and officials hoping to go to the host countries: US, Canada and Mexico. The latest scandal involves FIFA dropping Somali referee Omar Artan, after the US refused him entry. FIFA‘s president Gianni Infantino said “we don't control everything”, and asked critics to ‘chill'. US Customs and Borders protection said in a statement that “derogatory information, including association with suspected members of terror organisations” was discovered after Omar Artan landed at Miami International Airport to attend the tournament. Artan says he told border officials he knows nothing about the Somali militant group Al Shabab. Today, we speak to Charles Gitonga, senior journalist and host of the BBC's Focus on Africa podcast, about how Africans are reacting to the news, and whether the controversies will have long-term consequences for US-Africa relations.Producers: Sam Chantarasak and Cat Farnsworth Executive producer: Bridget Harney Video editor: Matt Pintus Mix: Travis Evans Senior News Editor: China CollinsPhoto: Somali referee Omar Artan.

Inflation has risen to its highest level in three years as the war in Iran disrupts oil supplies and tariffs drive up prices across the board. Barron’s senior economics writer Megan Leonhardt explains what consumers are feeling right now. President Trump signed the Secure America Act, directing roughly $70 billion to ICE and Border Patrol through fiscal year 2029. The Washington Post’s Jarrell Dillard explains why funding ICE for that long was an unusual step. The largest World Cup in history kicks off today across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Rebecca Lowe, cohost of the Apple News podcast After the Whistle, joins to talk about what to expect and why this tournament could push soccer fully into the American mainstream. Plus, why lawmakers are delaying the renewal of FISA, a Somali referee was denied entry into the U.S. to referee at the World Cup, and how Pope Leo and Bad Bunny came together in Madrid. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.
Today's Headlines: Bill Gates testified before the House Oversight Committee that Epstein tried to blackmail him after he tried to distance himself, saying he never went to the island or witnessed criminal conduct — the standard answer at this point — while a New York Times excerpt from an upcoming Haberman/Swan book revealed the White House Situation Room freakout over the Epstein files last July, with JD Vance emerging as a conspiracy theorist who wanted full file release and suggested Tucker Carlson interview Ghislaine Maxwell to clear Trump, while the administration quietly panicked over a specific sex allegation about Trump. On the war beat, the US launched strikes for the second consecutive night, Pete Hegseth announced they would "negotiate with bombs," Iran responded by attacking Bahrain and Kuwait and closing the Strait of Hormuz with a shoot-on-sight policy for any ship attempting to pass — the Dow fell nearly 1,000 points, the Nasdaq closed down 2%, inflation came in at 4.2% the worst in three years driven by energy prices, and Trump said "I love the inflation," which he said out loud. New reporting found at least 500 babies and toddlers in ICE custody during Trump's second term, averaging 25 per day and ten times higher than under Biden. The EU warned Albania that the Kushner Sazan Island resort could jeopardize their EU membership bid, as tens of thousands of Albanians enter their tenth day of protests. The White House launched an official "Media Offenders" page categorizing journalists under headers like "Left-Wing Lunacy" and "Malpractice." And finally, Nancy Mace abandoned her congressional seat to run for South Carolina governor, finished fifth in the primary, and announced she's "headed back to the private sector as the founders intended."

Africa's football spirit meets the 2026 World Cup buzz, controversy, and opportunities. The tournament is a landmark moment for African football, coming four years after Morocco became the first African team to reach a World Cup semi-final at the Qatar edition in 2022. But even before the games begin, the tournament has been shrouded in controversy after the US denied Somali referee Omar Artan entry into the country. Omar was one of six referees from Africa appointed by FIFA for this year's World Cup. We speak to former Ghana international player Jonathan Mensah and former Ugandan international women's footballer, Jean Manayega Sseninder to unpack the opportunity for the 10 African competitors in the tournament. And, a remote Kenyan community embarks on a mission to empower young girls with vocational skills.

Danielle Pull Quotes “I just love the competition of it and seeing how far people can push their bodies and how far they can go. And I love team sports. I didn't used to like soccer, but I've been watching World Cup games with Luis, who's my partner. Since Mexico played the United States, we watched that game in Ciudad Juárez in Mexico together. And that's one of the last times the U.S. won. We were down there, and I remember cheering and looking around, and Luis was like, ‘Don't cheer. You're going to get us in trouble.'” “I started getting out of my skin this morning listening to stories about the international teams arriving in Mexico and being met with mariachis and food and dancing and celebration, and then hearing about teams arriving here and being locked in rooms, strip searched, cavity searched, and the best Somali referee being sent back. He can't referee here, which is freaking insane. FIFA has its own problems, but this is the contradiction: we're supposed to be hosting the world, and yet we're treating the world like it's dangerous.” Jenny Pull Quotes “I have a love-hate relationship with soccer because I had three older brothers and they all played soccer very seriously. Two of them went to state, one of them was first team all-state for Colorado. Every weekend was a soccer tournament. By the time I was old enough for my parents to ask if I wanted to play, I was like, ‘No, I hate soccer. I'm going to do dance.' I still like that choice. I prefer dancing more than soccer, but soccer is the one sport where I actually know what's going on and know the rules. Anything else, I just dissociate and have no idea what's happening. I do like the snacks that often come with watching sports, though.” “I saw the story about the referee not being allowed in, and it made me think about the question of hospitality. We are hosting the world, and yet as a nation, as a government, we are acting as though we hate the world. It's such a weird time. I honestly would not blame countries if they said, ‘No, we're not actually going to go at all.'” Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.
After Trump targeted the Somali community for alleged fraud, I talked to a driver in Minnesota to learn about Somali culture. In the end, should we be blaming them? A conversation about stereotypes, community struggles, and getting the real story from someone who actually lives it.

Less than 48 hours from kickoff and the World Cup is already delivering. Jason Longshore breaks down the pre-tournament storylines: Lionel Messi scoring a penalty at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn as Argentina cruised past Iceland, a chaotic US women's win in Brazil that ended with red cards raining down on the Brazilian bench, and the controversy surrounding Somali referee Omar Arten being denied entry into the United States. Jason also covers the managerial carousel in Spain with José Mourinho heading back to Real Madrid and Marco Silva taking over at Benfica, Atlético Madrid's very entertaining response to Real Madrid's 150 million euro bid for Julián Álvarez, and England's women heading to the playoffs despite winning five of six qualifiers.

David Waldman fit a KITM into his Tuesday schedule, and ours! Everybody saw this coming. The New York Knicks won 13 times in a row, then Donald K. Trump touched their winning streak, and it died.

Virginia was the first southern state to pass an assault weapons ban, which its rural counties won't enforce. JD Vance wants Tim Walz investigated for fraud.
