Virginia recognizes "Southern Black Girls Day." What is the non-profit organization behind this honor all about? The Y'all Show is a production of Yall.com and hosted by Jon Rawl.

Hosts: Matt | Leeroy SHOW NOTES The Clan Clancy cuckoos are out of control as pink-clad supporters rally outside Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, demanding compassion for her while her three children risk becoming an afterthought. We examine suicidal empathy and ask when compassion for an accused offender crosses the line into excusing evil, erasing victims, and abandoning accountability. We bring you the latest Texas surrogate-mom update as the fight over the newborn's custody, medical care, name, and legal parentage continues. We confront the hate directed at Steven Crowder and what the reaction reveals about hostility toward political dissent and conservative media voices. We track bomb threats in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere as law enforcement responds to suspicious packages, evacuations, and intimidation targeting public spaces. We make the case that Abigail Spanberger should face charges and explain why political power cannot shield public officials from accountability. The Don't Unfriend Me Show is a live conservative news and political commentary podcast hosted by Matt and Olivia Speer. Every weeknight, we break down the biggest stories in politics, government, culture, immigration, free speech, the economy, and current events with live audience interaction and open phone calls.

American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Christopher J. Scalia is in for Jim Geraghty on the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Chris and Greg dissect the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, note the arrest of a "Dreamer" for the UFC terror plot just as Michelle Obama was extolling the Dreamer program, the deliciously bitter infighting among Virginia Democrats, and Mr. Scalia's latest book.First, they dig into the memorandum of understanding with Iran and react to arguments opposing and supporting it. Chris and Greg share their concerns over the vagueness of the language on the nuclear matters, the money poised to flow into Iran, what's next in the Straits of Hormuz, and why this agreement or a more formal deal is unlikely to hold.Next, they contrast Michelle Obama praising her husband's DACA or "Dreamer" program granting legal status to illegal immigrants who were brought here as minors with the news that a "Dreamer" was just arrested for allegedly leading a terrorist plot against the UFC event at the White House. Chris also shares his thoughts on the opening of the Obama Presidential Center.Then, Chris and Greg pop the popcorn as top Democrats in Virginia are fighting with each other over several major issues and making it clear how much they don't like each other. But Chris warns there could be a major downside for conservatives from this dysfunction on the left.Finally, Chris tells us about his latest book 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (but Probably Haven't Read) and how conservative ideas and characters are found in popular literature.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn BeddingGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML at https://BrooklynBedding.comPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.BetterHelpYou don't have to say yes to everything this summer.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior bring the Thursday show with election infrastructure and the machinery running underneath it front and center. Virginia Governor Spanberger announces an executive order on how state election workers should "deal with" federal agents at polling places, and Alpha immediately spots the legal trap she set for herself: by announcing a formal process to delay and obstruct, she documented intent to commit a federal crime. Chicago's city council passes the Jesse Jackson Fair Access to Democracy Ordinance 42-8 with a democracy zone framework and a taxpayer-funded get-out-the-vote panel after an alderman reportedly tells colleagues there will be "a knife to your throat" if they vote no. Trump drops a Truth Social post calling for the removal of Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth McDonough, appointed by Harry Reid in 2009, as the SAVE America Act stalls in reconciliation. Alpha and CannCon map out why Trump is using the parliamentarian story to build public awareness ahead of a much bigger move. James O'Keefe updates the Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong case, revealing she told him off camera she has names of people committing worse election crimes and appears to be cooperating with the DOJ. Spencer Pratt's AI-generated "I'm not MAGA or anything" campaign ad earns the highest praise of the episode.

On this  installment of the Gutowski Files we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss the new restrictive gun laws that Virginia Governor Spanberger just signed into law and the many legal challenges that are sure to follow.Active Self Protection exists to help good, sane, sober, moral, prudent people in all walks of life to more effectively protect themselves and their loved ones from criminal violence. On the ASP Podcast you will hear the true stories of life or death self defense encounters from the men and women that lived them. If you are interested in the Second Amendment, self defense and defensive firearms use, martial arts or the use of less lethal tools used in the real world to defend life and family, you will find this show riveting.  Join host and career federal agent Mike Willever as he talks to real life survivors and hear their stories in depth. You'll hear about these incidents and the self defenders from well before the encounter occurred on through the legal and emotional aftermath. Music: bensound.com

1. A “Power-Focused” Agenda Democratic proposals are primarily about gaining and preserving political control, not policy issues like the economy, crime, or border security. Examples include: Electoral College reform Supreme Court expansion Redistricting changes Statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico 2. Election System Changes Key proposals discussed: Ending or reforming the Electoral College → reducing influence of smaller states. Multi-member districts → benefiting dense urban (Democratic) areas. Expanding Supreme Court (court-packing) → a way to influence rulings. 3. Judiciary and Legal System Concerns Efforts to impose ethics rules or penalties on judicial nominees are politically motivated. These could be used to pressure or intimidate judges, especially conservatives. 4. Statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico Add additional Democratic-leaning Senate seats Shift the balance of power in Congress 5. Redistricting (Gerrymandering) Debate Historically using gerrymandering to control representation in certain states. Attempting further changes (e.g., Virginia case) to increase their advantage 6. California Political Scenario There are concerns about: A potential situation where two Republicans advance in a statewide race They are willing to intervene if the outcome is unfavorable.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 84: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Back from a week off just in time to put the podcast on health hiatus...details within today's supersized edition. Plus, befitting the time off, some meta pictures on how Democrats should plan for what they want this country to look like on its 300th anniversary, if it lasts that long. Will we have jailed Trump and gotten back the money he took? Undone his damage? Eliminated the anachronistic idea that Wyoming should have as many senators as California? Let the Supreme Court continue to lie, cheat and steal the democracy from under us? As John Candy said in "Splash": Think big, be big, my friend. MORE IMMEDIATELY: Whaddya mean the Governor of Virginia hasn't been BRIEFED on the way to overturn her state's Supreme Court's usurpation of redistricting? Why the hell not Hakeem Jeffries? Anybody notice Trump is simply rotating the same three lies about Iran? Why are only independent journalists like Garrett Graff still covering the WHCD non-shooting when the New York Times is doing 31 paragraphs on the future of the dinner like anybody gave a crap? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: stop saying Trump is painting everything GOLD. That color is not GOLD. It is the color of WEE WEE. Say it. Use the clinical terms, use the gutter terms. The gutter terms define this idiot president. Stop saying gold when you mean whizzzzzzzzzzzzzz. B-Block (56:00) ON THE PASSING OF TED TURNER: Hard to believe few of the obituaries mentioned how he also invented 7-day-a-week sports on national television. Or how Jane Fonda kept him from destroying himself in, like, 1982. One particularly harrowing saga had him telling the lowest ranking staffer at CNN's Washington Bureau which way, when he finally decided he'd do it, he'd do it. And this is said with admiration and affection for the man who created the place where I and so many of the figures of the last 45 years began our TV careers. C-Block (1:30:00) ALL TED ALL THE TIME: I was holding back until I was certain I wouldn't jinx him. My beloved first rescue dog, Ted, was up against it last fall. I took him to the University of Florida for life-saving open heart surgery and boy, did they! Eight hours on the table, eight hours of SICU, all for an eight pound dog and now - he's not even on any medications! It's a long story and I would insist it's worth hearing it.
