    Aujourd'hui dans "Le Journal Imprévisible", Marc Bourreau évoque le film "Disclosure Day" de Steven Spielberg, qui traite de la présence d'extraterrestres sur Terre Il sort en salles au moment où Donald Trump déclassifie des dossiers sur les ovnis. L'occasion de revenir sur ces petits hommes verts qui obsèdent les États-Unis.Le phénomène des ovnis et des extraterrestres fascine l'Amérique depuis des décennies, comme en témoignent les films de science-fiction et les théories du complot. La ville de Roswell, au Nouveau-Mexique, est au cœur du mythe des extraterrestres, avec des témoignages et des preuves qui alimentent les débats. Les présidents américains, de Ronald Reagan à Barack Obama, ont abordé la question des extraterrestres, alimentant les spéculations sur une possible conspiration gouvernementale. Le sujet des extraterrestres est devenu un enjeu politique, avec des supporters de Donald Trump considérant Hillary Clinton comme une "femme lézard".Hébergé par Audiomeans.

    620: Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: Smart Politics or Permanent Agitation?

    The boys drink and review Sierra Nevada's Torpedo Extra IPA, then move on to political strategy and methods. Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals remains one of the most influential—and controversial—books on political organizing ever written. In this episode, Pigweed and Crowhill dive into the life and ideas of the Chicago community organizer whose methods have shaped activist movements for generations. From "pick the target" and "keep the pressure on" to the strategic use of ridicule, disruption, and media attention, they unpack Alinsky's famous tactics and examine why they continue to be effective decades after they were first developed.But the conversation goes beyond a simple review of organizing techniques. Are these tactics merely practical tools that can be used by anyone seeking political change, or do they encourage a permanent culture of conflict? Why do modern movements always seem to be searching for the next crisis, the next injustice, or the next cause? Pigweed and Crowhill explore whether activism has become less about solving problems and more about sustaining a mindset of perpetual agitation.Along the way, they discuss Barack Obama's background as a community organizer, Hillary Clinton's connection to Alinsky, Ben Shapiro's surprising praise for some of Alinsky's methods, and the broader question of how political narratives are created, amplified, and maintained. Whether you see Alinsky as a champion of the powerless, a master strategist, or something more troubling, his influence on modern politics is impossible to ignore.

    From the Emmy-nominated comedian who created "the best segment in late night" (Vulture) comes this hilarious and practical collection of advice for how to live your best life in love, at work, and in comedy. You'd think with a résumé like Jenny Hagel's-being a writer/performer for Late Night with Seth Meyers, and head writer/EP of The Amber Ruffin Show-she would describe her greatest accomplishment as something like sharing the stage with Hillary Clinton, or the six times she was nominated for an Emmy. Yet, for Jenny, landing a joke or going to a fancy award show pales in comparison to her true passion: giving people advice.Jenny is so obsessed with (addicted to?) offering unsolicited wisdom that she runs a sold-out live show in NewYork City called, appropriately, Jenny Hagel Gives Advice. With her debut essay collection, Jenny sets out to backseat drive for as many unwitting strangers as possible. The result is a heartfelt and funny journey through a list of life-changing recommendations, like: wear black when you travel, buy an analog watch, and just because you can go into the monkey enclosure while visiting Honduras doesn't mean that you should.EssaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

    Guest host Joe Cirincione interviews David Rothkopf. Rothkopf is the host of the Deep State Radio podcast. He is also Chief Global Affairs Columnist at the Daily Beast and was formerly the editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy magazine. He has taught at Columbia, Georgetown and Johns Hopkins universities. He was the Deputy Undersecretary of Commerce in the Clinton Administration and is the author of ten books including, most recently, Traitor: A History of Betraying America from Benedict Arnold to Donald Trump. His newsletter "Need to Know" is available at davidrothkopf.substack.com. Cirincione talks with Rothkopf about what he calls the unfolding catastrophe of Trump's war on Iran, arguing the U.S. has repeatedly failed in Southwest Asia and that this conflict has achieved neither tactical nor strategic objectives, while causing greater-than-reported damage to U.S. bases and eroding trust in military and government accounts. Rothkopf says the war has weakened U.S. alliances, empowered Iran, Russia, and China, and further damaged America's global standing, while also tying U.S. policy to an increasingly destabilizing Israeli government. The conversation then shifts to domestic consequences, with Rothkopf alleging Trump has monetized the presidency through pervasive corruption, including favors, pardons, and an IRS-related settlement he calls theft from the Treasury. Rothkopf remains hopeful but warns against complacency, argues accountability and progress are linked, and urges resistance ahead of 2026 elections.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Two unbreakable fighters. One unbreakable bond. A road that led straight to the White House.In the shadows of mainstream headlines, a powerful alliance has shaped American culture and politics for decades. Donald Trump—real estate tycoon, reality TV star, twice-elected President—found a kindred spirit in Dana White, the man who rescued the Ultimate Fighting Championship from near-collapse and built it into a global empire. Their friendship began in 2001 when Trump offered his Atlantic City casino as a lifeline for the fledgling UFC, hosting events no one else would touch.What followed was a saga of mutual loyalty and shared triumphs: White's steadfast support through Trump's campaigns and controversies, Trump's ringside presence electrifying crowds at UFC events, and the raw energy of the Octagon fueling a political movement. From early casino nights to White House visits, Republican National Convention endorsements, and landmark moments tying mixed martial arts to American power, this is the untold story.Ultimate Fighters: Donald Trump, Dana White and UFC's Road to the White House - https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Fighters-Donald-Trump-White-ebook/dp/B0GT9WWYDR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25O8D85ZAHJIM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.j_rahjBUgwUaZv0a4ffk-30tGZqsYe8rq2J2NeGY-PkmoUb_vl8UUjAZomrTsPK6D1QV78V-fXYrJ9Y8w0e0zT5SUe5aD4Cmuo1xillF3y8u0f9wjN3iKT5CVkB5GsZqpiMTAvkNkgagtezZ_oPujgHf62gWz5CivDCV8Cs4NmykZWJK5KpwoXl1us19mF2XOFY8TGQB1Gk-3dqaQwouMQpwXR3_CsbrYnUGgAjux0I.-ymjHyKRVnbz0xw6JwyAu1N0SDdw4QYxYw6sQzNypYI&dib_tag=se&keywords=Ultimate+Fighters&qid=1774229356&sprefix=%2Caps%2C1399&sr=8-1

    Former President Bill Clinton testified under subpoena in a closed-door deposition before the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his network. Over about six hours of questioning in Chappaqua, New York, Clinton repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities, emphasized that their interactions were limited and long predating Epstein's known crimes, and stressed he “did nothing wrong.” He said he saw “nothing” that gave him pause, may say “I don't recall” on old interactions, and maintained that any association ended years before Epstein's first criminal conviction. Clinton also defended his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who had testified a day earlier and said she had no meaningful connection to Epstein.Republicans on the committee used the deposition to probe Clinton's past travel on Epstein's plane and old photos released in the Epstein Files, while Democrats framed the testimony as part of a broader push for transparency and have called for other high-profile figures, including President Donald Trump, to testify as well. Clinton's testimony marked the first time a former U.S. president was compelled to testify before Congress under subpoena in this context, and the committee may release the transcript or video publicly at its discretionto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Clinton faces grilling from lawmakers over Epstein ties | AP NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

    Mike Sperrazza and Mike Lomas go off the cuff this week, opening with the bizarre San Francisco YMCA story where a man exposed himself in the women's bathroom and the city's response was to ask people to limit their nakedness rather than enforce basic rules. They dig into the six-year anniversary of George Floyd and the coordinated left-wing messaging around it, the double standard applied when Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart introduced Donald Trump at a rally, and the latest round of unhinged reactions to Trump's hospital visit. The guys break down Hunter Biden's new Twitter account and his sobriety announcement (with a perfect Laura Loomer reply), Hillary Clinton's cringeworthy intro for Kathy Hochul claiming free school meals and money in New Yorkers' pockets, and Bernie Sanders railing against the oligarchy while owning three homes on a $174,000 salary. Mike and Mike tackle Gavin Newsom's dubious claim that California homelessness dropped 9 percent, get into Spencer Pratt's take on what actually helps addicts versus the NGO grift, and Mike Sperrazza shares a frustrating weekend story about unionized little league umpires demanding 30-minute breaks between kids' games.

    Mary and Andrew begin this week by tackling a decision by a U.S. District Judge to dismiss criminal charges against Kilmar Ábrego García, calling the administration's case against García a vindictive prosecution for challenging his illegal deportation last year. Mary and Andrew couple this topic with a conversation about the “Broadview Six” case, involving a group of Chicago ICE protesters whose criminal case was dropped, similarly, due to misconduct by the DOJ. Then, Mary and Andrew continue a discussion from last week about Trump's $1.776 billion settlement with the IRS — specifically about an addendum to the settlement which grants Trump and "affiliated individuals" extremely broad protections from future prosecutions. They then talk about Carmen Lineberger, a former federal prosecutor indicted for sending unreleased files from the Jack Smith report to her personal email account. Plus, a conversation about a decision by a federal judge who has ordered the White House to comply with the Presidential Records Act, undermining the DOJ's ability to give the administration a legal way to destroy White House records from the second Trump term.

    Bill interviews former Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander about his memoir, The Education of a Senator: From JFK to Trump, and the Senate's decline from bipartisan, amendment-driven lawmaking to today's gridlock. Alexander criticizes Republican senators for failing to check abuses of presidential authority, argues Trump's purges of GOP incumbents risk costing him a Senate majority, and calls a DOJ compensation fund for January 6 participants “Trump suing Trump” and an outrage, given assaults on Capitol Police. He contrasts Senate pushback in Trump's first term with silence in the second, including cuts affecting USAID/PEPFAR and NIH research. Alexander says January 6 undermined the Constitution, praises public service as the best way to help people, prefers being governor to senator, and expresses confidence in America's resilience.You can buy his book from Bookshop.org here.

    Send us Fan MailIn this episode I take on a label that gets thrown around way too casually: ‘far‑right fascist.' I walk through how mainstream politicians, academics, and media smear conservatives as fascists, starting with Biden's ‘semi‑fascism' line and moving through Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, Antifa, the 2020 riots, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I argue that election denial and political violence are bipartisan bad habits, not a one‑sided moral failing. I lay out my three‑axis way of thinking about politics — personal freedom (‘leave me the hell alone'), economic control (capitalism vs. heavy state control), and nationalism — and explain why both fascists and communists fail the ‘leave me the hell alone' test, why today's loud progressives sit closer to the authoritarian left than they admit, and why wanting smaller government and strong borders does not make you Mussolini. If being conservative gets you called a fascist, maybe it's time to stop accepting their definitions — and, if we're going to trade playground insults, to answer that their mother wears army boots

    In this episode, we sit down with Arianna Davis Santana, Executive Editor of Digital at the TODAY Show, to explore what it really means to build a career at the center of modern media, and what ambition looks like once you're inside it.Arianna's career spans some of the most influential names in media: from Oprah Daily (formerly O, The Oprah Magazine) to the TODAY Show, where she now leads digital strategy and editorial direction while also appearing on-air to break down what's trending online.Before that, she helped launch OprahMag.com, the fastest-growing site launch in Hearst Magazines' history, and later helped lead its evolution into Oprah Daily.  She has also shaped editorial storytelling at Refinery29, where she wrote deeply reported features and personal essays centered on culture, identity, and the lived experiences of women.Across every chapter of her career, Arianna has been inside the rooms where modern media is shaped - interviewing icons like Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton, Mariah Carey, John Legend, Will Smith, and more, while also building digital platforms that define what millions of people read, watch, and share.But this conversation goes far beyond titles.We talk about:-The evolution of ambition in modern media-What success actually feels like once you achieve what you thought you wanted-Why leadership sometimes requires a little “Miranda Priestly energy”-How authenticity, kindness, and authority can coexist in powerful women-And how AI, digital culture, and storytelling are reshaping the future of mediaArianna also opens up about the deeper lessons she's learned along the way, including how career setbacks, reinvention, and visibility all shape who you become when no one is watching.At its core, this episode is about rewriting success, redefining ambition, and learning how to lead without losing yourself in the process.  Connect with Arianna:Website: https://www.ariannadavis.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ariannagabLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ariannadavis/What Would Frida Do?: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/arianna-davis/what-would-frida-do/9781541646322/?lens=seal-pressTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ariannagdavisConnect with The Women On Top:Follow The Women On Top Podcast on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcasts.  Subscribe for more empowering conversations and stories!Website: https://thewomenontop.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thewomenontop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewomenontoppodcast/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-lynn/

    Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 19, 2026. We open with the Iran situation from every angle — President Trump paused another planned strike at the request of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE while negotiations continue, but Iran's latest peace proposal still doesn't address the one non-negotiable point: they will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. We dig into whether this pause is genuine diplomacy or strategic deception, why Trump's unpredictability is itself a form of deterrence, why Iran is almost certainly using the ceasefire to dig out its buried missile infrastructure — essentially handing the U.S. a fresh target list — and whether the Iranian people have any realistic chance of overthrowing a regime that will shoot into a crowd to disperse it. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Trump paused a second planned attack on Iran at the request of multiple Middle Eastern heads of state while negotiations continue. Then in Los Angeles, 64-year-old Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong agreed to plead guilty to paying homeless people to register to vote at her personal address — meaning she collected their ballots and could vote them however she chose. We explain why this has nothing to do with whether homeless people can vote and everything to do with fraud. And President Trump dropped his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for a $1.7 billion anti-weaponization fund to reimburse people prosecuted for political reasons during the Biden administration — including January 6th defendants. We play a clip that the White House itself shared this week — a black woman in Cook County, Illinois at a voter board meeting who tells the panel directly that voting is not in danger, that she has voted since she was 18 without a single problem, that her parents could say the same, her grandparents could say the same, and that the constant narrative about suppressed black voters is being used to manipulate the Voting Rights Act when everyone in the room knows it isn't true. We call it one of the most clarifying moments in the entire voter ID debate. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the Unite the Kingdom March in Great Britain — described as one of the largest peacetime demonstrations in British history, with over 2 million people taking to the streets to say they want their culture, their heritage, and their country back. Prime Minister Keir Starmer branded it a march of thugs, hooligans, and far-right racists. Reporters who showed up found grandparents walking dogs. We talk about what it means when a government criminalizes its own citizens for reposting patriotic content online, why Britain's Conservative Party collapsed and gave way to the new Reform UK movement, and why this is a roadmap — not a foreign curiosity — for what can happen here. We also cover James Comey lecturing Acting AG Todd Blanche about compromising institutional integrity for suggesting there is evidence worth investigating about the 2020 election. We ask the obvious question — where was Comey's institutional integrity when he lied to the FISA court, changed the legal standard for Hillary Clinton in the middle of a press conference, and leaked classified memos to the media? In our Digging Deep segment, we take a hard look at what Lee Zeldin is doing at the EPA — and make the case that it is not only justified but overdue. The EPA was created to solve real problems — air pollution, water pollution, toxic waste — and it largely did. But then it forgot its aim and became fanatical, redoubling its efforts long after the problems were solved. We walk through the Integrated Risk Information System that set formaldehyde standards lower than what the human body naturally exhales, and explain the critical difference between hazard and risk that the EPA abandoned somewhere along the way. For our Bright Spot, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a landmark $10 million settlement with Texas Children's Hospital — which was illegally performing gender transition procedures on minors and billing Medicaid with false diagnosis codes. The settlement does more than extract a fine. It requires Texas Children's to create the first-ever detransition clinic in the United States — a multidisciplinary medical center designed to help patients reverse as much damage as possible from ideologically motivated procedures they received as children. We talk about what detransition actually looks like, why this clinic will likely become a national destination, and why it took this long. We also cover Kimberly Guilfoyle's enthusiastic promotion of the most technologically advanced McDonald's in Europe opening in Athens — and the Greek internet's very Greek response. And we close with Trinka and Mark Henderson of Gilbert Christian School in Arizona — 40 years and 18 years of teaching respectively, a combined 58 years in education, who walked into what they thought was a staff meeting and found their own retirement party. Trinka said she's had kids of kids. Mark said he'll probably be back as a substitute. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

    Fox News continues to stumble and bluff its way through an incoherent sales pitch for Trump's poorly planned war with Iran. Sean Hannity along with some of the last remaining neocons also promoted the worst idea in the world - sending weapons to the Iranian people.It was 1979 again in the absolute worst way possible.Normally the network forms a united front about any given topic, narrows in on its target and repeatedly pummels it. Fox News hosts will often use the exact same phrasing, slogans, catch phrases, and battle cries across multiple programs.Since the war started Fox has been a disorganized mess.At the start of the week Project Freedom, Trump's plan to open the Strait of Hormuz, was sold as a brilliant strategic move that would bring a quick end to the war. When it collapsed almost immediately after it was implemented the folks on Fox splintered.Hosts on Fox & Friends shared their doubts about the war, Jesse Watters made excuses for the president, Sean Hannity sold it as a checkmate move and the folks on The Five stopped talking about the war entirely.Fox News knows how to whip its audience into a frenzy about urban crime, dangerous migrants, woke blue-haired teenagers, eminent communist revolutions, anti-white DEI schemes and shifty transgender athletes but it can't seem to figure out how to sell the idea of another protracted war in the Middle East or soften the blow around high gas prices.Sean Hannity thought it was a good idea to recycle some of the worst foreign policy ideas of decades past. He also got so desperate last week he included extended segments about former president Barack Obama even repeating talking points from 2008.If he could have found a way to bring up Hillary Clinton's emails, bleach bit servers, Hunter Biden's laptop and Bill Clinton's sock drawer he would have.The network also shifted its focus to topics it knows well - trashing Democrats and endorsing long-shot Republican candidates in California.

    A new episode of the Center for Immigration Studies' podcast, Parsing Immigration Policy, examines the issuing of employment authorization documents (EADs), the use of executive discretion in granting work permits, and a proposed regulation affecting asylum applicants.The episode features CIS Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy Elizabeth Jacobs and Senior Legal Fellow George Fishman discussing how millions of immigrants, including illegal aliens, parole recipients, TPS beneficiaries, DACA recipients, asylum applicants, and temporary visa holders, have received work permits without Congress's authorization.According to CIS estimates, roughly 15 million individuals currently possess work authorization and 4.3 million illegal aliens may be eligible for work permits. As a result, USCIS reports that it faces more than 1.7 million pending EAD applications.The discussion also focuses on a recent DHS regulation that would tighten eligibility for asylum-based work permits by increasing the waiting period from 180 to 365 days and barring applicants who are prima facie ineligible for asylum from receiving employment authorization and requiring the agency to pause acceptance of asylum-based EAD applications when affirmative asylum processing times exceed 180 days. Currently, processing times average over 1,200 days, while a new affirmative asylum applicant could expect to wait decades, according to DHS, before receiving a final decision on their claim.The episode explains that lengthy asylum processing times have created strong incentives for individuals to file asylum claims primarily to obtain work authorization and remain in the United States for extended periods while cases are pending. USCIS currently faces massive asylum and EAD backlogs, contributing to longer processing times across the immigration system.The conversation also examines broader legal questions surrounding executive authority to issue work permits under the Immigration and Nationality Act and whether decades of expanding administrative interpretation have effectively allowed the executive branch to operate an immigration system outside the numerical and statutory limits established by Congress.In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director and podcast host highlights Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons' recent announcement that ICE identified more than 10,000 foreign students in the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program who claimed employment with “highly suspect employers” and that this represents “only the tip of the iceberg.” OPT, which allows foreign graduates to work in the United States for up to 12 months, or up to 36 months for STEM graduates, was created through executive action rather than congressional authorization. The Center has called for the elimination of the program many times in the past.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestsElizabeth Jacobs is the Director of Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies. George Fishman is a Senior Legal Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.LinksDHS Proposes to Amend Asylum Work-Permit Rules to Reduce Fraud and AbuseDOJ: Asylum Applicants Are Skipping Immigration Court at Record Levels; Their goal all along was work permits, not protectionDHS Issues New Regulation to Automatically Extend the Validity Period of Many Work PermitsWork Authorization Expansion Attracts and Embeds Illegal ImmigrantsGovernment Data Reveal Millions of New Work Permits Issued in 2009OPT Needs to EndIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Gartner argues Trump is a “malignant narcissist” with worsening frontotemporal dementia, claiming his disinhibition, tangential speech, confabulation, language errors, and loss of social context are increasingly visible, citing clips about “SEA” vs “SEE,” a Sharpie story, and graphic remarks to schoolchildren. He links Trump's self-glorification (coins, passports, building names, images as Pope/Jesus, a triumphal arch) to delusions of grandeur and warns of escalating war and possible first-use nuclear action, doubting political checks like the 25th Amendment or Senate conviction.

    Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have long faced scrutiny over their connections to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, particularly because the relationship appeared far more substantial than later public denials suggested. Visitor logs and reporting over the years documented Epstein making numerous visits to the White House during the Clinton administration, with records showing at least 17 entries connected to Epstein. Beyond the White House visits, Bill Clinton later flew on Epstein's private jet multiple times and maintained social contact with Epstein well after Epstein had embedded himself within elite political and financial circles. Maxwell also moved comfortably through overlapping social environments populated by major political donors, celebrities, royals, and high-ranking officials. Critics have argued that the sheer frequency of contact and access makes it difficult to reconcile later attempts to portray Epstein as merely a distant acquaintance or someone whose presence barely registered.Skepticism toward the Clintons' denials has persisted largely because the documented interactions stretch across years and involve far more than a handful of incidental encounters. Bill Clinton has repeatedly minimized the nature of his relationship with Epstein, insisting he knew nothing about Epstein's crimes and portraying the relationship as limited and largely connected to philanthropy or travel tied to charitable initiatives. But critics point out that Epstein was not simply wandering through elite spaces unnoticed — he was repeatedly welcomed into environments populated by some of the most powerful people in the world. The combination of White House visits, private flights, donor circles, and overlapping social connections has fueled ongoing suspicion that the relationship was deeper and more familiar than later public statements acknowledged. While no evidence has publicly emerged showing criminal wrongdoing by the Clintons tied to Epstein's trafficking operation, the continued effort to downplay the extent of the association has remained a major source of public distrust and speculation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Fox News executives are known for obsessively tracking audience reaction. I suspect that even the most diehard Fox News fans were just not that excited over an enormous columned building their glorious leader cannot stop talking about.The network switched its focus to the third attempt on the president's life along with King Charles' visit and the White House state dinner.Blurry surveillance video footage of Cole Tomas Allen, the suspect in the shooting, attempting to rush past a throng of armed security personnel was far more compelling than discussions about giant event spaces and drone-proof roofs.By mid-week the network made a pivot to scolding ‘Liberal lunatics' for promoting conspiracy theories about the latest attempt on the president's life.Since I started this project in February 2022, I've seen Fox News hosts promote conspiracy theories such as cultural Marxism, the great replacement, the great reset, birtherism, various false stories about Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden along with secret plots to promote insects as a main source of protein.Meanwhile the conflict with Iran was relegated to a minor story. At least twice last week Jesse Watters declared that the war was over only to start cheerleading for a swift victory the next day.Fox News hosts were also downright gleeful about the recent Supreme Court ruling that severely weakened The Voting Rights Act.

    Trance Formation of America with Cathy O'Brien

    Securing Midterm ElectionsElections are compromised and must be secured before Midterms. It is upto We the People to get involved on local levels. Congress is not going tofix rigged elections for us. Guess why?Our current Congress will neither vote for term limits on themselves norrestore election integrity when rigged algorithms keep them in office whilethey complete selling out our Constitutional sovereignty to their globalistAgenda 2030/Great Reset/New World Order slave society agenda. Mindcontrol is key to their success.Deep in the Wash DC swamp among perpeTraitors, I was privy to their lackof concern for ‘elections' since they control the electronic voting machinesand minds of the voters through NLP, repetitive media narrative, andsocially engineered division.Knowledge is our defense against mind control, which is why censorshipcontinues to reign supreme.Following the money we clearly see who benefits from complicity inglobalist crimes against humanity including child sex trafficking/harvesting,blackmail ops, drugs both “legal” and illegal, bioengineered foods,chemicals sprayed in our skies, control of information and more. It isalways the same self-appointed self-anointed election-stealingperpeTraitors.Intelligence insiders often gain insight into levels and layers of governmentcorruption, how systems and agencies are structured to perpetuate it, andultimately what can be done about it. These individuals are exactly who weneed running for positions of leadership in US Congress, State legislatures,Governorships, Mayors, District Attorneys, School Boards. Judges andespecially Sheriffs.Yet because of what they know, these Intelligence insiders also real-eyesthat, until We the People take effective local action to clean up elections,more impact can be made behind the ‘seen' in clandestine ways.Mark Phillips was often encouraged to run for top political positions bothnational and local.Mark appreciated the requests, yet knew he could make more difference inwaking people up through staying focused on demands of our shared lifepurpose of exposing MK Ultra mind control, healing from it, and the dark,inhumane agenda behind it.Now that the Great Awakening has spread through Intelligencecommunities worldwide, more and more insiders are waking up ready torun for these high level Government positions. Congruently, awareness isinspiring positive change among the vast majority of the population who arealso waking up.Mid-term elections 2026 are pivotal, crucial, and necessary to positive,necessary change on all levels of our lives.So many were awake and aware 2016 that sheer numbers of u.s. overroderigged electronic algorithms in voting machines to vote for anyone that wasnot Hillary Clinton and her New World Order.PerpeTraitors who have been stealing elections for decades and using drugand human trafficking across open borders to fund their agenda did not seetheir defeat coming 2016. Desperately they fought to maintain powerthrough their controlled media voice, focusing their psy op assault oncharacter assassination of anyone standing for sovereignty.PerepTraitors went all in 2020 with mind control masked as a virus whileelections were blatantly stolen. In their frantic desperation, mistakes weremade waking even more people up from mind control.Rigged electronic voting machines and mind control must be fullyovercome before Midterm elections.Intelligence insiders know, like Mark Phillips knew, that it is up to each andevery one of u.s. to take effective action on local levels to impact election-stealing perpeTraitors nationally and globally.Spread the word on mind control and healing from it.Read full transcript at

    Former FBI Director James Comey is under the microscope again, this time hiding behind a ridiculous "seashell" defense after allegedly posting a veiled threat against Donald Trump. While the legacy media rushes to dismiss the "86/47" beach message as a harmless coincidence, Comey's long record of selective amnesia and partisan leaks tells a much darker story. From orchestrating the Russia collusion hoax to shielding Hillary Clinton's illegal homebrew servers, this latest stunt highlights the sheer arrogance of a thoroughly weaponized justice system.  It is past time to hold the architects of the Deep State accountable for years of lying to Congress and betraying the American people, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

    Guest host Joe Cirincione fills in for Bill Press and interviews Mother Jones investigative journalist Tim Murphy about his cover story, “Power Hungry: How the AI Oligarchy Gobbled Up America.” Murphy describes how the post–ChatGPT AI race has driven a boom in hyperscale data centers—projects the size of Central Park that demand immense electricity, water, and even on-site power plants, sometimes pushing nuclear plants like Three Mile Island to reopen. He argues this “hyperscale” moment has narrowed and intensified U.S. oligarchy, fusing concentrated tech wealth with political power, including major 2024 election spending and alliances with Donald Trump. Murphy details disruptive impacts on rural communities, secrecy via shell companies and NDAs, fears of boom-and-bust “empty hulks,” and growing bipartisan local backlash raising questions about democracy, agency, and the future envisioned by AI leaders.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Ralph welcomes Professor Nicholas Chater, co-author of “It's on You: How Corporations and Behavioral Scientists Have Convinced Us That We're to Blame for Society's Deepest Problems.” Then, as most of the media turns its attention to Iran, we return to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and welcome back Dr. Feroze Sidhwa to break down his three-part series published in Zeteo called “The Truth About Gaza's Dead.”Nick Chater is Professor of Behavioural Science at Warwick Business School. He has written and co-written more than two hundred research papers and six books, including It's on You: How Corporations and Behavioral Scientists Have Convinced Us That We're to Blame for Society's Deepest Problems (co-written with George Loewenstein).I was on a UK government committee as the representative of behavioural science for six years, where my role was (at least I understood my role to be) coming up with smart-aleck ideas about what individual nudges or bits of useful information we could give to the public—how that would help people reduce their carbon emissions. And I came away from that experience extremely chastened. Because almost all the interesting issues were nothing to do whatsoever with individual behavior. They were all about big systemic changes… And the shock for me was realizing that the tools that I was hoping to wield were in fact completely ineffective.Nick ChaterI think it's absolutely true that many of the things that behavioral scientists are supposedly “discovering” [are] the things that campaigners and activists and indeed people in the political world generally and journalists intuitively have long known, and indeed probably have good evidence for. It's simply— it's sort of a sad process of trailing-along-behind which I think the academic world has been engaged in, where we've been slowly realizing that things that everybody else knew initially are actually true after all.Nick ChaterOne of the most powerful things that each of us has is the ability to propagate our own perspective and to campaign for change…I think getting people pulling together and pushing for change can be incredibly powerful. So seeing ourselves as citizens who are actively able to have our voice, make our voices heard, I think that's where the real power lies. And I think that the campaigners and political activists and so on have always known this. And of course, also, big businesses have always known this too. And they certainly don't want us to be doing too much of that. They want us to be focusing on quite the opposite. They want us to be focusing on our own gardens and not worrying about the big picture. They don't want organized opposition.Nick ChaterDr. Feroze Sidhwa is a general, trauma, and critical care surgeon in California. He is also a humanitarian surgeon who has worked in Palestine, Ukraine, Haiti, Zimbabwe, and Burkina Faso. He most recently volunteered at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, Gaza. He was blocked from entering Gaza by Israel's Shin Bet intelligence service in November 2025.In the first 25 days of the assault on Gaza, more children were killed than in the entire worst year of conflict that Airwars had ever studied previously, which was Syria in 2016. In the first 25 days in Gaza, between 2,200 and 2,600 children were killed in Gaza, compared to 1,900 in Syria. So again, if you adjust for the size of the population (because Syria is a much bigger country than Gaza is a territory), the rate of killing of children in Gaza was 71 to 142 times higher than it was in the worst year on record for children in conflict—Syria in 2016.Dr. Feroze SidhwaGaza is a place where infants freeze to death if they are not sheltered. Well, there are no sheltered infants in Gaza for any practical purposes. They're all unsheltered. So we have a list of the actual names of a dozen or two dozen children who have actually frozen to death…And there is shelter—ready-made mobile shelters for hundreds of thousands of people right outside of Gaza. It's in Egypt and it's in Jordan. The only thing that's stopping anybody from bringing it in is the US and Israel…This is just dastardly. We should think about it for a second—we (meaning Americans) [are] living in a country where neither political party seems to care that we are freezing infants to death.Dr. Feroze SidhwaRight now, the Israelis are blocking cough medicine from going into Gaza. And the reason (they say) is because it contains glycerin. Now, glycerin, in theory, can be used to make explosives. But it's one picogram or something—it's just part of a pill or the syrup that goes into it, right? This is children's cough medicine. The idea that Hamas or Islamic Jihad or anybody else in Gaza has the laboratory equipment and facilities that would be needed to extract the 0.01% of glycerin that's in a pill or a medical syrup to then make a bomb is beyond idiotic. Furthermore, we all know that there's (and I'm speaking literally) hundreds of tons of unexploded Israeli bombs—actually I should say unexploded US bombs—all over the Gaza Strip. That's where Hamas gets all of its explosives from. It just repurposes unexploded Israeli munitions. So all of this is just sheer nonsense.Dr. Feroze SidhwaNews 4/24/26* Our top stories this week have to do with people losing their jobs. First up, Apple CEO Tim Cook – the handpicked successor of Steve Jobs who has led the tech giant for the past 15 years – announced this week that he would transition away from the CEO role. While he will remain on as Executive Chairman, John Ternus, the company's head of hardware engineering, will take over at the helm, PBS reports. Cook's tenure at Apple has received mixed evaluations, with many applauding the steady handed executive for adding an estimated $3.6 trillion in market value to the company, while others have critiqued his supposed lack of innovation compared to his predecessor. Some hope his more technical-minded successor will put more emphasis on product development moving forward. Like many tech CEOs, Cook went to great lengths to ingratiate himself with President Trump in his second term, donating $1 million to his inaugural committee and gifting Trump a glass plaque set in 24-karat gold last August.* Meanwhile, Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned this week amid “an internal investigation into her conduct,” which included “instructing staff to buy her bottles of sauvignon blanc on work trips… [stashing] liquor in her office, [encouraging] young female staffers to ‘pay attention' to her father and husband, [having] an affair with a member of her security detail, and [arranging] work travel to visit family and friends,” per Vox. For the time being, the Labor Department will be headed by Keith Sonderling, whom POLITICO calls a “quintessential Washington insider who is well-connected in the capital's Republican circles and his home state of Florida.” Sources quoted in this piece identify Sonderling as a key behind-the-scenes player in the administration whose accumulated influence “extends well beyond DOL.” The choice of Chavez-DeRemer, a former Congresswoman who was seen as perhaps the most labor-friendly Republican in the House, was supported at the time by Trump-aligned Teamster boss Sean O'Brien; her ouster therefore, represents the latest humiliating setback for his strategy of cozying up to Trump to win favorable treatment for his membership. In the words of a recent Current Affairs piece published before the downfall of Chavez-DeRemer, “Sean O'Brien Sold Labor to Trump, and Got Nothing.”* In the House, Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned her seat this week, just minutes before the House Ethics Committee was set to weigh punishment for the Congresswoman, whom the panel had previously found guilty of “a slew of ethics violations, including accusations that she stole millions in pandemic relief funds and used it to bolster her 2021 campaign,” according to CNN. Cherfilus-McCormick was one of the four Members of Congress included in the proposed bipartisan expulsion deal some weeks ago, along with Representatives Swalwell, Gonzales, and Mills. With the first two gone, a tremendous amount of pressure is sure to be exerted on Congressman Mills to resign as well. Prior to resigning, Cherfilus-McCormick was already facing a stiff primary challenge from young progressive Elijah Manley. Now, it seems her seat – representing hundreds of thousands in Broward and Palm Beach counties – could remain vacant until a new member is sworn in next January, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis unlikely to call a special election before then.* Also in Congress, Axios reports Representative David Scott of Georgia, a powerful Black Georgia Democrat who served in the lower house for over 20 years, passed away this week at age 80. Scott, who rose to become the first Black chair of the key House Committee on Agriculture, had filed to run again in 2026 despite rumored resistance from his colleagues. His death leaves Georgia's 13th district without representation in the House and amounts to a stunning fourth death-based Democratic House vacancy in the past year. Like the ones that preceded it, this must be seen as a bright red warning signal to Democratic leadership.* In DC more broadly, the employment picture looks even worse. According to a new report in the Guardian, the combined purging of 300,000 jobs from the federal government – the piece notes this is the “region's largest employer” – by Elon Musk's absurd Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, with another 13,000 job cuts in the private sector, has left DC with the highest unemployment rate in the nation at 6.7%. With little sign of increased hiring in the public or private sectors, there is no indication this trend will reverse itself any time soon.* Elsewhere in the DMV, this week Virginia voters approved a referendum to amend the state constitution allowing Democrats to redraw the state's congressional districts in their favor. Currently, Virginia Democrats hold six districts to the Republicans' five; under the new map, Democrats are poised to hold 10 districts and the Republicans just one. This is the latest episode in the mid-decade redistricting fight begun last year, when Texas Republicans sought to redraw the Lone Star state's maps to be more favorable to the GOP. This set off a stampede of states seeking to redraw their district lines. Now, in light of the Virginia referendum passing, Florida is threatening to redraw their maps to the detriment of Democrats there. The Hill reports House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, taking a sharper tone than usual, responded to news of the Florida redistricting attempt with a statement reading “If Florida Republicans proceed with this illegal scheme, they will only create more prime pick-up opportunities for Democrats, just as they did with Trump's dummymander in Texas…[he vowed] maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”* In California, the downfall of Eric Swalwell has resulted in the unexpected rise of another candidate – former Congressman, California Attorney General, and Biden-era Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. Between April 10th and April 22nd, Becerra surged from a polling average of under 4% to an average of 13% – and in some polls, even moved into first place. While Becerra seeks to consolidate this spike in support, progressives are airing long-held grievances. David Sirota, former Bernie Sanders campaign advisor and founder of the Lever, cited that publication's 2021 report on how “As California AG, [Becerra] demanded the HHS secretary use existing law to lower medicine prices - and then he became HHS secretary & literally refused to do that.” Others have pointed out that, according to Transparency USA, Becerra's campaign has received massive donations from the likes of Chevron. Progressive billionaire Tom Steyer on the other hand this week received the endorsement of Our Revolution, closely aligned with Bernie Sanders, which noted that “Yes, Tom Steyer is a billionaire. But it matters what he is doing with that power: pushing for taxes on the wealthy, expanding universal programs, and dismantling corporate influence in our politics.”* In another case of politics making strange bedfellows, the Chicago Tribune reports the political arm of Planned Parenthood is making an endorsement in the race to succeed retiring Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García in Illinois 4th congressional district. Except, in this case, the reproductive rights group is not endorsing the Democrat in the race. Listeners may recall that Congressman García was sharply criticized for his maneuvering to ensure his chief of staff Patty García would be the Democratic nominee. This has forced other potential aspirants to run as independents. These include DSA-aligned Chicago Alderman Byron Sigcho-López and activist Mayra Macías – the latter of whom won the Planned Parenthood Action endorsement this week. The Tribune notes that Macías served on the board of Planned Parenthood Action until the beginning of this year. In a statement, Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson called Macías “a proven leader,” who “will be unrelenting in the fight to protect access to sexual and reproductive health care.”* Turning to international news, in South Africa, leftist politician and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party Julius Malema was sentenced to five years in prison this week for “firing a rifle in ⁠the air at a party rally,” Al Jazeera reports. Unsurprisingly, given that the EFF is the fourth largest political party in South Africa, this case has become a rallying cry for Malema's supporters, with those same supporters accusing the prosecution of being politically motivated. Presiding Magistrate Twanet Olivier disputes this, contending that it “is not a political party who has been convicted here … it is a person, an individual.” Malema's lawyers immediately applied for – and were granted – leave to appeal, but if these appeals fail Malema could be barred from serving as a Member of Parliament.* Finally, in more positive news from abroad, Reuters reports that the much-trumpeted summit of the global Left held in Barcelona this week – designed to help progressives rally their forces to defeat modern reactionary Right-wing nationalism characterized by figures like Trump – drew over 6,000 attendees from over 40 countries. Headline speakers included Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Brazilian President Lula, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Colombian President Gustavo Petro and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. From the United States, an ecclectic group addressed the summit, ranging from video messages of support from Hilary Clinton to Bernie Sanders to Zohran Mamdani, with an in-person address by Minnesota Governor and former Vice-Presidential candidate Tim Walz. A recurrent theme, hammered home by Isabel Allende, former Senate president ​of Chile and daughter of Salvador Allende, Chile's leftist president ousted in a U.S.-backed coup and replaced with the dictator Augusto Pinochet, was that the left has become too distant from the daily concerns of workers, stating in no uncertain terms that “It's unimaginable to fight against the right ‌if we can't ⁠get closer to ordinary people.”This has been Francesco DeSantis with In Case You Haven't Heard.
