A fierce political battle is underway as President Trump threatens to deploy federal agents and troops to Chicago to combat violent crime. Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor J.B. Pritzker are vowing to resist, with Johnson signing an executive order to limit cooperation with federal law enforcement. The host argues that the president is brilliantly exposing the political motivations of Democrats who prioritize votes over public safety, drawing a parallel to a successful crackdown in Washington, D.C. The discussion delves into a shocking report from the Treasury Department about Chinese money laundering networks aiding drug cartels, suggesting a larger, global criminal enterprise with ties to political agendas.

Texas House passes GOP redistricting plan after weeks-long standoff. Hurricane Erin unleashing dangerous surf, rip currents along 2,000 miles of East Coast. Bed Bath and Beyond says 'no' to California, pulls zero punches outlining economic 'reality'. Russia says talks on Ukraine security guarantees must include Moscow. The Menendez brothers will have parole hearings this week after decades in prison. Cracker Barrel's controversial rebrand won't be stopped. 

Today's Headlines: President Trump was caught on a hot mic telling French President Emmanuel Macron that Vladimir Putin “wants to make a deal,” though the Kremlin brushed it off Reports say Putin even suggested Zelensky travel to Moscow — a nonstarter, given Russia's stance on Ukraine. Trump also ruled out sending U.S. troops to Ukraine as part of security guarantees. Meanwhile, the Trump administration revoked security clearances for 37 current and former national security officials, many tied to the 2016 Russia interference assessment. Trump also escalated his attacks on “woke” institutions, directing his lawyers to target the Smithsonian museums over their exhibits. In California, Republican lawmakers are suing to block Governor Gavin Newsom's redistricting legislation, while in Texas, State Rep. Nicole Collier is literally sleeping in the capitol to avoid signing a GOP loyalty paper that would otherwise allow her to leave without threat of arrest. Elsewhere, Oklahoma schools chief Ryan Walters announced that out-of-state teacher applicants must pass an “anti-radical” test written by PragerU and  immigration authorities rolled out a new policy weighing immigrants' “positive attributes” in citizenship applications — just as ICE moved to deport a Maine police officer accused of overstaying his visa. Finally, Minnesota joined states suing TikTok over addictive algorithms, and the FDA warned consumers to toss certain Walmart frozen shrimp after reports of possible radioactive contamination linked to an Indonesian supplier.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for August 16th Publish Date: August 16th PRE-ROLL: MONSTER JAM From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, August 16th and Happy Birthday to Madonna I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Archer student donating to needy gets big surprise from Amazon Gwinnett school tax rate going down, but property owners will still owe more Author Leigh Dunlap to discuss debut book 'Bless Your Heart' at Duluth library Plus, the Stripers report with pitcher Dane Dunning All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Archer student donating to needy gets big surprise from Amazon  Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that spark the biggest change. Nehemiah Hamilton, a senior at Archer High, used to dream of coding the next billion-dollar app. But after diving into community programs like Gwinnett’s Youth Commission and interning for Dacula’s mayor, his focus shifted. He didn’t just want to make millions—he wanted to help millions. So, he started “The Little Things,” a fundraiser to buy essentials low-income families often go without: detergent, toiletries, underwear, umbrellas. Especially umbrellas. Nehemiah set a modest goal—$500. Two weeks later, he’d raised over $2,000. Then, Amazon stepped in. After Gwinnett Chairwoman Nicole Love-Hendrickson shared his story on LinkedIn, Amazon’s Georgia community affairs lead, Terreta Rodgers, showed up with a truck. Literally. 3,600 items. Triple his donation. Nehemiah’s not stopping. He’s thinking about Morehouse, public service, maybe even running for office someday. But for now? He’s extending his fundraiser and calling on others to step up. STORY 2: Gwinnett school tax rate going down, but property owners will still owe more The Gwinnett County Board of Education voted Wednesday to lower the property tax rate by nearly half a mill—sounds like good news, right? Not so fast. Even with the drop to 20.15 mills, many property owners will still see higher tax bills, thanks to rising property values. Board Vice Chair Tarece Johnson-Morgan wasn’t thrilled, casting the lone “no” vote. Meanwhile, residents like Kay Vickers didn’t hold back. She slammed the board for firing two superintendents in four years (with pricey buyouts) and ignoring overcrowding at schools like Grayson High. The board’s decision followed three public hearings, but the tension? Far from over. STORY 3: Author Leigh Dunlap to discuss debut book 'Bless Your Heart' at Duluth library Mark your calendars: On Wednesday, Aug. 20, at 6:30 p.m., the Duluth Branch of the Gwinnett County Public Library will host Leigh Dunlap, author of the debut novel Bless Your Heart. The event, moderated by Iranian-American writer Samira Shakib-Bregeth, promises a lively discussion about family, reinvention, and the quirks of Southern hospitality—or lack thereof. Dunlap, best known for penning A Cinderella Story (yes, the one with Hilary Duff), brings her screenwriting chops to the page. She splits her time between South Carolina and South Kensington and has also written The Standoff and 16-Love. For details, visit gwinnettpl.org.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 7 STRIPERS INTERVIEW Break 3: MONSTER JAM STORY 6: Three family members guilty of pandemic fraud A man from Pelham, Georgia, has been found guilty of wire fraud in a pandemic relief scam that roped in his family. Tyreek Brown, 28, now faces up to 30 years in prison, five years of supervised release, and a $1 million fine. Sentencing? TBD. His co-conspirators, Sherronica Jackson, 38, and Alan Brown, 52, both pleaded guilty and will be sentenced Nov. 12. Here’s the deal: Jackson snagged a $20,207 PPP loan in 2021, claiming a fake $97,000 income. She then helped Alan and Tyreek secure fraudulent loans for businesses that didn’t exist. Tyreek even sent her $3,000 after cashing in. STORY 7: Georgia unemployment rate down to 3.4% Georgia’s unemployment rate dipped to 3.4% last month, down just a tick from June’s 3.5%, according to the state Department of Labor. For context? That’s well below the national rate of 4.2%. But here’s the twist: while unemployment dropped, the state actually lost 500 jobs, leaving the total just shy of 5 million. Gains in health care (+2,800), manufacturing (+2,700), and construction (+2,100) couldn’t offset losses in food services (-4,500) and transportation (-1,400). Meanwhile, Georgia’s labor force grew slightly, with 732 more people joining in July. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: MONSTER JAM Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Newt talks with Governor Greg Abbott of Texas about the special session to vote on redistricting the state. On Tuesday, the state's top three elected officials, Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dustin Burrows said the Legislature will adjourn its current overtime session this Friday, and the Governor will immediately call another special session. The ongoing political standoff continues, with Democrat lawmakers who have left the state refusing to return to prevent the passage of a new congressional map favoring Republicans. Abbott vows to continue calling special sessions until Democrats return, emphasizing the need for a quorum to conduct legislative business. He highlights the penalties Democrats face for their absence and criticizes their actions as contrary to Texas values. Abbott also addresses the broader political implications, including the impact on future elections and the importance of maintaining Republican control in Congress to support President Trump's agenda.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The host alleges a "Mexican standoff" between President Trump and Republican Senate leadership, led by Senator John Thune. He claims Thune is using a procedural maneuver to prevent Trump from making recess appointments, in an effort to hold him hostage and force him to stop sending rescission packages designed to cut hundreds of billions of dollars in government spending. The host accuses Republican leaders and Fox News of lying by blaming Democrats for the gridlock. He then connects this political conflict to a broader geopolitical narrative, arguing that the Russia-Ukraine war was precipitated by the "Russia collusion hoax," which he claims was a lie created by Hillary Clinton's campaign. According to the host, Russia is a victim of the "Democrat deep state," which used the hoax to justify sanctions and a military buildup. He concludes that to end the bloodshed, Trump must engage in a conversation with Russian President Putin to lift sanctions and "make this right," as both leaders are victims of the same deep state.

The host combines several narratives to expose what he calls the "deep state" and a "fake reality." He alleges a political standoff between President Trump and Republican Senate leadership, accusing Senator John Thune of blocking appointments to prevent budget cuts. The host then connects the ongoing war in Ukraine to the "Russia collusion hoax," claiming that it was a fabricated lie used by the "deep state" to justify sanctions and a military buildup, with Russia as a victim. He asserts that a series of "bombshell" declassified documents—found in a "burn bag" and meant to be destroyed—prove that former FBI Director James Comey and Democrats Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell committed felonies by leaking classified information. The host contrasts these alleged cover-ups with Trump's foreign policy successes, such as his pressure campaign that has led Mexico to hand over high-ranking cartel leaders, which he says previous administrations failed to do. He concludes that these events, along with rising blue-collar wages and the voluntary departure of illegal immigrants, demonstrate Trump's effectiveness and the ease with which these issues could have been solved all along, had previous leaders not had "contempt" for Americans

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine kick off the August 11 edition of Badlands Daily with sharp analysis of Donald Trump's latest legal maneuvers, including moves that could upend the cases against him and shift the political playing field. They turn to the escalating border crisis, dissecting new reports of cartel activity, migrant surges, and state-versus-federal clashes over enforcement. The hosts also take aim at the mainstream media's narrative management, highlighting glaring double standards in coverage of political scandals and security threats. Along the way, they connect these headline stories to broader patterns of psychological operations, election-year strategy, and institutional corruption. With a mix of hard-hitting commentary, behind-the-scenes context, and moments of levity, CannCon and Zak keep the conversation fast-paced and unapologetically direct, giving listeners the unfiltered take they won't find on cable news.

Today's Headlines: Netanyahu is pushing his cabinet to green-light a full takeover of Gaza, though the Israeli military says it could put hostages in danger. His cabinet also tried to fire the attorney general prosecuting him for corruption, but the Supreme Court shut that down almost instantly. Over in the U.S., the Trump administration briefly floated the idea of cutting disaster aid to places that boycott Israeli companies, then quickly backpedaled. India dismissed Trump's threats of even bigger tariffs for buying and reselling Russian oil. In Texas, Republicans called a special session to ram through a new, super gerrymandered map, but Democrats literally left the state to stop it. GOP leaders are fining them and issuing civil warrants, while Democratic governors in Illinois, New York, and California are now talking about redrawing their own maps. The DOJ's also been quietly asking at least 15 states for voter data. Bloomberg says the FBI blacked out Trump's name in Epstein files before deciding not to release them, while two Epstein victims told a court they still want the docs public, even if it's ugly. Meanwhile, a new poll says 86% of Americans are stressed about grocery prices, and 14% are using buy-now-pay-later just to eat. Finally, Tesla's board just handed Elon Musk a $23 billion “interim” stock award—because apparently $50 billion getting tossed by a court last year wasn't enough.
