FARM BILL BATTLES, BEEF SUPPLY SHOCKS, AND THE RURAL PENSION CRISIS On this episode of Rural Route, host Trent Loos is joined by Jay Truitt from Texas for a powerful discussion covering the biggest political and economic issues impacting agriculture and rural America. The conversation begins with the massive Farm Bill, a nearly 1,000-page piece of legislation that could shape the future of farming, ranching, and food production. Trent and Jay also examine renewed tariff policies and what they mean for American producers competing in global markets. The discussion then turns to the cattle industry after the closure of the JBS meatpacking plant in Greeley, Colorado. Trent and Jay explain how the shutdown could disrupt cattle supply chains, increase transportation costs, and shift regional cattle prices. While some producers may face short-term challenges, the industry has been preparing for the change and may adapt through new logistics and market adjustments. The conversation expands into broader concerns about government policy and economic sustainability. Jay raises serious warnings about the looming pension crisis facing public education systems across several states. Massive pension obligations, unrealistic investment expectations, and rapidly growing administrative costs could put teacher retirement systems—and rural school districts—on a dangerous financial path. Trent and Jay also analyze the role of major financial firms like BlackRock in managing retirement assets, discuss political maneuvering around Senate appointments in Oklahoma, and examine leadership changes within Texas agriculture. They close with a critical look at animal welfare policies in the Farm Bill, the controversial Save Our Bacon Act, and how environmental regulations and regenerative agriculture debates continue to reshape the future of American farming.

On today's show, host Ali Muldrow is in conversation with two of the editors of We Are Each Other’s Liberation: Black and Asian Feminist Solidarities, Rachel Kuo and Jaimee A. Swift. They discuss the challenging, contemplative, and moving essays that chart the long history of Black and Asian women in coalition and how these communities have, at times, been pitted against each other. The editors emphasize the intersection of disability justice and abolition in framing the collection to help readers analyze systems and relationships of power. Swift says that the book came about as she was watching Black women become the victims and survivors of COVID at the same time as anti-Asian hate crime was spiking around the country. Kuo says that the international solidarity movements of the 60s and 70s brought people together based on their shared relationship to power and shared analysis of US empire, capitalism, patriarchy, and racism, not especially their shared identity. Swift says “we need each other to challenge oppressive systems.”  They also talk about the need for cop-free communities, coalition politics, the exhaustion of movement work, and how to build real joy without losing the seriousness of the fight.  Rachel Kuo is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and cofounder of the Asian American Feminist Collective, which engages intersectional feminist politics grounded within Asian diasporic communities. Jaimee A. Swift is the creator and executive director of Black Women Radicals, dedicated to uplifting and centering Black women and gender-expansive people's radical activism in Africa and in the African diaspora.

This deep dive explores the complex and foundational Erie Doctrine in federal civil procedure, covering its historical evolution, key cases, and modern analytical framework. Perfect for law students and legal practitioners aiming to master the balance of federal and state law.Most law students dread the eerie doctrine — often the most intimidating topic in civil procedure. But what if mastering it could unlock your highest exam scores? Imagine transforming this complex, fearsome concept into a crystal-clear decision tree that demystifies federalism, federal court limits, and the true boundaries of judicial power. This episode reveals the structured framework behind the Erie Doctrine, turning insurmountable confusion into strategic mastery.We begin by unpacking the core constitutional challenge Erie addressed: how federal courts navigate the delicate federal-state law balance after jurisdiction is established. Once jurisdiction hurdles are cleared, the final question emerges — whose law governs? This isn't just about procedural rules; it's about safeguarding federalism and preventing federal courts from overstepping their constitutional bounds. Learn why Erie rejected the Swift era's federal common law and reasserted states' sovereignty over substantive law, cementing the principle that federal courts must respect state law unless a federal rule or statute explicitly applies.Delve into the layered hierarchy of laws: the Constitution sits at the peak, followed by federal statutes and rules, then state substantive law, and finally, federal procedural rules at the base. We break down the pivotal tests: the Rules Enabling Act (REA), which validates federal rules if they regulate procedure without affecting substantive rights; and the twin aims of Erie — avoiding forum shopping and ensuring equitable law administration. Discover the historical flaws of outcome determinative and the refined, flexible approach introduced by Hanna and subsequent cases, which impose a careful, structural balance.You'll uncover the two critical tracks in Erie analysis: Track One, when a federal rule or statute directly conflicts with state law, where the REA controls; and Track Two, which involves assessing whether applying federal practice encourages forum shopping or inequities, using the modified outcome determinative test and the balancing framework from Byrd and Hanna. Our decision tree toolkit offers a step-by-step process, empowering you to evaluate any fact pattern confidently and avoid common pitfalls like mixing procedures and substance or misidentifying the appropriate track.The episode also tackles nuanced issues: federal common law's limited scope, how to handle novel state law issues through predictions or certification, and the layered hierarchy guiding judicial deferment. Plus, we explore a paradox — federal judges sometimes influence state law via Erie's dialogue, raising questions about federal-state interactions that could seem almost paradoxical.Perfect for exam takers, practitioners, and law lovers alike, this episode transforms daunting doctrine into an accessible, strategic tool. Master the Erie Doctrine's architecture, understand its constitutional heartbeat, and confidently navigate federal versus state law questions — all in one comprehensive, actionable guide.Whether you're preparing for the bar, tackling civil procedure, or just love understanding the architecture of our legal system, this episode provides the clarity and confidence to dominate Erie. Don't just memorize rules — understand the structure, so you can apply it seamlessly under exam pressure or in practice.Key TopicsErie Doctrine and its constitutional basisHistorical evolution from Swift v Tyson to Erie Railroad v Tompkins Erie Doctrine, Federal Civil Procedure, Federalism, Swift v Tyson, Hanna v Plumer, Rules Enabling Act, Outcome Determinative Test, Twin Aims, Federal Common Law, Legal Analysis

New York City offers nearly unlimited activities, restaurants, and unique landmarks to explore. Wasting your time on overhyped or overpriced attractions can eat away at your valuable time in the city.In this article, we're gonna help you avoid wasted time and money by calling out five overrated NYC attractions you can keep OFF your itinerary.Plus, we'll provide alternatives to each of these common tourist traps.1- Serendipity 3The crowds are hectic, the ambiance is overstimulating, and none of the food or desserts we tried were very good.Instead, go to Caffè Panna or Grace Street.2- Statue of Liberty/Ellis IslandWe've covered this in full detail previously, but this experience is too long, too crowded, and too much waiting in line to be worth your time. Instead, take the free Staten Island Ferry or simply view the Statue of Liberty from Lower Manhattan.3- The Charging Bull in FiDi The crowds around this statue overstate what you'll actually get out of the experience. While passing by is great, we wouldn't go out of our way to view this statue. Instead, go to the 9/11 Memorial Pools.4- Central Park ZooThe Central Park Zoo is actually quite small, with not very many animals. If you want a zoo experience, go to the Bronx Zoo. It has 265 acres and SO many exhibitions.5- Museum of Ice Cream/Color/IllusionsIf social media didn't exist, neither would these "museums". Instead of spending the $30 or so for one of these money grabs, go to any of the iconic museums like the MoMA, The MET, or the Museum of Natural History.You'll Have to Check It Out - Swift Hibernian LoungeProbably the coziest Irish pub you'll find, with an unbelievable pour of Guinness.

Wie dacht dat alle malaise in het Midden-Oosten wel was ingeprijsd, komt van een koude kermis thuis: energieprijzen stijgen door vandaag, en beleggers doen de verliezen van vorige week nog eens dunnetjes over. Volgens analisten lijkt de bodem bovendien nog niet in zicht. Hoe ver die nog rijkt, en of de oliereserves van 32 landen die nog kunnen stutten, gaan we deze aflevering bespreken. Daarin hoor je ook over ING, want de bank is nog steeds niet weg uit Rusland. Ze willen wel, maar het Kremlin werkt ze tegen. ING is namelijk een van de laatste portalen tussen Rusland en het economische verkeer in de rest van de wereld. Tegenwerking of niet: de bank verdient ook nog fors aan Rusland, al kunnen ze daar volgens ING zelf helemaal niks aan doen. En het kabinet moet op zoek naar een nieuwe uitwerking van de nieuwe box-3-regels. Misschien is dat een belletje waard naar voormalig ASML-ceo Peter Wennink. Die heeft wel een alternatief klaarliggen, dat óók de Nederlandse techsector aan een impuls kan helpen.

As we continue our series through the Gospel of Mark, we encounter Jesus' challenging words about the true cost of following him. In this passage, Jesus calls his disciples to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow him—a Messiah whose power is revealed not through domination, but through sacrifice. Together, we explore what it means to lose our lives for his sake and discover the life that can only be found in him. Scripture Referenced: Mark 8:34-38

Improvisation is considered a high art form for an instrumentalist, but what about for a composer?  Is it even possible to create a piece of music for an ensemble, and to hear it performed in real time?  How would you go about that? You would have to have an entire group imagining together.  Lawrence "Butch" Morris did it by creating a compositional language that allowed him to convey musical ideas using physical gestures.     His system, which he called "Conduction," was immediately transformative.  He created compositions in real time that were shaped by the musical language and the performances of the participating musicians.  It was an unprecedented musical spontaneity.    Butch Morris died in 2013, but Conduction is still making new breakthroughs in the hands of successive generations of musical thinkers.  Violinist/composer Mazz Swift, who worked with Butch Morris, is one of them.  New forms and ideas continually emerge, and Butch Morris endures as a shaping influence.     This Monday (Jan. 19), Mazz Swift joins host Mitch Goldman for a Deep Focus on Butch Morris.  Do the vast WKCR archives contain live, unreleased recordings of Butch Morris?  We certainly hope so!  Tune in to find out.   Deep Focus this Monday (Jan 19) from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD, or wkcr.org.   Or join us when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  Just like WKCR, it's ad-free, sponsor-free, all free, totally non-commercial.  We won't even ask for your contact info.   Learn more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/ or join us on Instagram @deep_focus_podcast.   Photo credit: Butch Morris - photo by Anthony Barboza - nmaahc.si.edu/object/nmaahc_2014.157.7 fair use under Section 108 of the U.S. Copyright Act.   #WKCR #DeepFocus #ButchMorris #LawrenceButchMorris #MazzSwift #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #JazzInterview #MitchGoldman   Deep Focus is a production of Small Media Large.

fWotD Episode 3228: Mean (song) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 7 March 2026, is Mean (song)."Mean" is a song written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for her third studio album, Speak Now (2010). Big Machine Records released it to country radio in the United States as the album's third single on March 7, 2011. Produced by Swift and Nathan Chapman, "Mean" is a six-string banjo-led country, country pop, and bluegrass track that incorporates fiddles, mandolins, hand claps, and multitracked vocals. In the lyrics, Swift addresses her detractors, recognizes her shortcomings, and strives to overcome the criticism and achieve success.Some music critics deemed "Mean" an anti-bullying anthem and praised the production as airy and catchy, while others considered the narrative ineffective. Several media publications have retrospectively listed it as one of the best country songs. "Mean" won Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards, and also received other industry awards and nominations. The track reached the national charts of Australia, Canada, and the United States, peaking at number two on the country music charts in the latter two countries. It received certifications in Australia, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.The music video for "Mean" was directed by Declan Whitebloom, who wrote its treatment with Swift. Featuring themes of self-empowerment and anti-bullying, the video received a mixed response from critics, who generally criticized its viewpoint on bullying as stereotypical and deemed its concept confusing. The video received nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards, the Academy of Country Music Awards, and the Country Music Association Awards. Swift included "Mean" in the set lists of the Speak Now World Tour (2011–2012) and the Red Tour (2013–2014), and performed it on some dates of her later tours.Following a 2019 dispute regarding the ownership of her back catalog, Swift re-recorded the song as "Mean (Taylor's Version)" for her third re-recorded album, Speak Now (Taylor's Version) (2023). The track peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Global 200 and reached the national charts of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, and the United States.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:00 UTC on Saturday, 7 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Mean (song) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

Apple ha lanzado el MacBook Neo a 599 dólares con el chip A18 Pro y ya se ha montado el circo de siempre: que si chip de móvil, que si 8GB son una broma, que si el Geekbench sale igual que el M1 de 2020. En este episodio lo desmontamos todo con datos reales y contexto real. El A18 Pro no es "el chip del iPhone". Es Apple Silicon de cuarta generación, fabricado en el mismo proceso de 3nm que el M4, con la misma arquitectura ARMv9.2, ray tracing acelerado por hardware, 35 TOPS de Neural Engine —tres veces más que el M1— y memoria LPDDR5X. Todo eso en un portátil de 600 euros. En este episodio explicamos por qué el multi-core de Geekbench es el número equivocado para juzgar este equipo, cómo el A18 Pro supera al M1 en un 47% en single-core —que es lo que importa para el uso real de este Mac—, qué hace exactamente la gente con un portátil de este precio y para qué tipo de usuario está pensado el Neo, el Air M5 y el Pro M5.Ni fanboys ni haters: solo contexto técnico para entender lo que Apple ha hecho aquí y si tiene sentido para ti.

Sign up for the Chicago CWT Listener Meetup. Henry Oliver is the preeminent literary critic for non-literary nerds. His Substack, The Common Reader, has thousands of subscribers drawn in by Henry's conviction that great literature is where ideas "walk and talk amongst the mess of the real world" in a way no other discipline can match. Tyler, who has called Henry's book Second Act "one of the very best books written on talent," sat down with him to compare readings of Measure for Measure and range across English literature more broadly. Tyler and Henry trade rival readings of the play, debate whether Isabella secretly seduces Angelo, argue over whether the Duke's proposal is closer to liberation or enslavement, trace the play's connections to The Merchant of Venice and The Rape of Lucrece, assess the parallels to James I, weigh whether it's a Girardian play (Oliver: emphatically not), and parse exactly what Isabella means when she says "I did yield to him," before turning to the best way to consume Shakespeare, what Jane Austen took from Adam Smith, why Swift may be the most practically intelligent writer in English, how advertising really works and why most of it doesn't, which works in English literature are under- and overrated, what makes someone a late bloomer, whether fiction will deal seriously with religion again, whether Ayn Rand's villains are more relevant now than ever, and much more.

Apple lo ha vuelto a hacer. Pero esta vez no ha sido un "más de lo mismo con mejor nota". El 3 de marzo de 2026 presentó los chips M5 Pro y M5 Max integrados en los nuevos MacBook Pro, y lo que hay dentro es el cambio de arquitectura más importante desde que llegó el M1. No hablamos de más núcleos ni de un proceso de fabricación más fino. Hablamos de repensar desde cero cómo se construye un chip. En este episodio desmontamos la Fusion Architecture pieza a pieza: qué es un die, por qué dividirlo en dos cambia las reglas del juego, qué implica para la disipación térmica, para la fabricación y para el futuro de Apple Silicon. Hablamos de los Neural Accelerators integrados en cada núcleo GPU, del aumento del ancho de banda del Neural Engine, de los 614 GB/s de memoria del M5 Max y de por qué eso importa más que los GHz cuando hablamos de inteligencia artificial en local. Y hacemos la comparativa con NVIDIA que todo el mundo hace pero casi nadie hace bien: CUDA vs MLX, H100 vs M5 Max, datacenter vs mochila. Sin banderas. Con números reales.

Perimenopause can feel like a slow unraveling. You're waking up at 3 a.m. Your anxiety feels new. Your periods are changing. Your skin, your sleep, your stress tolerance — all different. And yet, you're told your labs are “normal.” In this episode of The SEAM Podcast, Amy Cohen Epstein sits down with naturopathic physician Dr. Gusty Swift to talk honestly about midlife hormone shifts and why so many women feel dismissed during this stage of life. Instead of prescribing for symptoms alone, Dr. Swift explains her root-cause approach — looking at the thyroid, adrenals, and ovaries as an interconnected system, and addressing the nervous system as a key driver of perimenopausal change.For more, follow The Seam on Instagram, watch full episodes on Youtube, or visit the Lynne Cohen Foundation website.Produced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

For decades, families gathered in their big ol' vehicles and enjoyed a nice night out at a chain restaurant. The purpose of these chains is, no matter where you're located, you'll have generally the same food and experience at a reasonable price. However, by the 2010s, chain restaurants became pariahs, and many have either filed for Chapter 11 or have closed up shop completely. Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur talks about the death of the chain restaurant, how it wasn't just Millennials and their avocado toast that killed them, and how these closures represent an erosion of the Middle Class.   Be sure to subscribe to Tony's Patreon. $3 gets you just audio, $5 gets video AND audio, and $10 has all of the above, as well as bonus podcasts per week.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Are We Going to Strike Iran? In‑depth foreign policy analysis featuring Steve Yates, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former White House national security official, who breaks down the intensifying risk of U.S. military strikes against Iran. Yates outlines how the administration is negotiating over Iran’s nuclear program even as it positions F‑35s, F‑22s, and other assets for what he describes as a “high likelihood” of targeted military action within the next two weeks. He explains that any strike would be aimed at degrading Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities—not launching a full‑scale war—while regional powers aligned under the Abraham Accords weigh their own interests in the potential collapse of the Iranian regime. The conversation then turns to the complex geopolitical landscape involving Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, where Yates argues that the U.S. is using “smart power”—economic, political, and strategic pressure—to create conditions for gradual regime transformation without repeating the mistakes of Iraq. Clay and Buck press Yates on possible successors inside Iran, the role of the Iranian diaspora, and whether Gulf nations secretly prefer the current Ayatollah in power as a known, contained adversary. This leads into a moment of levity as they mock Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez’s widely panned appearance at the Munich Security Conference, where she struggled to answer a basic question about China–Taiwan tensions. Yates jokes that even a quick AI search would have prepared her better. Dirty Dem Playbook The James Talarico–Stephen Colbert controversy, which Clay and Buck argue has massively backfired on Democrats. They trace how CBS refused to air the Talarico interview over potential FCC equal‑time violations involving Texas Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett, but the decision instead triggered a “Streisand Effect”, catapulting Talarico to viral fame. CNN’s election data analyst Harry Enten confirms that Google searches for Talarico skyrocketed nationally and especially in Texas—over 1,100%—dramatically shifting prediction markets toward him in the upcoming Democratic primary. Clay argues that the real political victim is Jasmine Crockett, likening the situation to the Democratic Party “rigging” the 2016 primary against Bernie Sanders. The Trans Trend Karol Markowicz, co‑host in the Clay & Buck Podcast Network, who joins to analyze two high‑profile transgender‑related family mass murders—one in British Columbia and one in Rhode Island. The hosts argue that political activism and online rhetoric have normalized delusional thinking while discouraging honest discussions about mental health. Markowicz highlights the sudden spike in youth identifying as transgender as a “social contagion,” noting huge differences in rates between states like New York and Florida. The segment also covers a groundbreaking legal development: NYU Langone halting gender-transition procedures for minors amid growing malpractice lawsuits, including a recent multimillion‑dollar jury award to a detransitioner. The show then pivots to cultural commentary, including Markowicz's evaluation of Taylor Swift’s cultural power, where she agrees that Swift is comparable in scale to global icons like the Beatles and Madonna. Clay and Buck debate Swift’s influence across generations and joke about Clay’s much‑discussed mustache. The hosts also highlight uplifting Olympic news as Team USA men’s hockey star Quinn Hughes goes viral for calling America “the greatest country in the world” after scoring a sudden‑death goal over Sweden—one of the few unapologetically patriotic moments they say mainstream media rarely promotes anymore. Pro-Trump Granny Clay and Buck spotlight a powerful moment from President Trump’s Black History Month event at the White House, where an impassioned grandmother, Floresia Cook, went viral for defending Trump’s record on crime and public safety. They note Trump’s warm statements about Jesse Jackson following his passing. The hosts wrap with an economic update: 30‑year mortgage rates have hit a four‑year low, edging just above 6%, which they say may begin to thaw the frozen housing market locked up by years of Biden‑era inflation. They end on a light note about a typo discovered in Buck’s bestselling book Manufacturing Delusion.

What does it take to design a programming language from scratch when the target isn't just CPUs, but GPUs, accelerators, and the entire AI stack? In this episode, I sit down with legendary language architect Chris Lattner to talk about Mojo — his ambitious attempt to rethink systems programming for the machine learning era. We trace the arc from LLVM and Clang to Swift and now Mojo, unpacking the lessons Chris has carried forward into this new language. Mojo aims to combine Python's ergonomics with C-level performance, but the real story is deeper: memory ownership, heterogeneous compute, compile-time metaprogramming, and giving developers precise control over how AI workloads hit silicon. Chris shares the motivation behind Modular, why today's AI infrastructure demands new abstractions, and how Mojo fits into a rapidly evolving ecosystem of ML frameworks and hardware backends. We also dig into developer experience, safety vs performance tradeoffs, and what it means to build a language that spans research notebooks all the way down to kernel-level execution.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Melting ICE? The Trump administration’s announcement—reinforced by Tom Homan—that Minnesota’s ICE surge operation is being scaled down after a “mission accomplished”‑style success. Clay and Buck outline how Minneapolis quietly reached a handshake agreement to reverse sanctuary‑style resistance and begin alerting ICE when violent illegal immigrants are taken into custody, a major policy pivot after years of non‑cooperation. The hosts warn that activist “street harpies,” Antifa‑aligned groups, and left‑wing organizers may try to replicate Minneapolis’s obstruction tactics in other liberal cities. They also dive deep into the political consequences, arguing that Tim Walz’s political career is effectively over, and preview competitive 2026 races—especially the Minnesota Senate race, where Michelle Tafoya trails by just a few points. MASA: Make America Smart Again A major interview featuring U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, who outlines several key initiatives aimed at reshaping American education during the lead‑up to America’s 250th anniversary. A major focus of the conversation is the newly launched Presidential 1776 Award, a national civics and history competition created to reverse declining historical literacy among young Americans. McMahon explains that students will take a 90‑minute “Impossible Test” of 4,000 rapid‑fire questions, advancing through three rounds for scholarships of up to $150,000. Clay and Buck enthusiastically offer to take the test themselves—joking about challenging media figures—and highlight how this effort aligns with a broader push to revive foundational American history. The interview expands into President Trump’s education reform strategy, which aims to return educational authority to the states by dismantling federal bureaucracy and moving Department of Education functions to other agencies. McMahon emphasizes that despite more than $3 trillion spent since the Department’s creation in 1980, national test scores have declined—proving that centralized control has failed. She highlights the “Mississippi Miracle,” where the state dramatically boosted literacy by reinstating phonics‑based “science of reading” instruction, prompting other states to adopt similar reforms. She also discusses school innovation across the country—from classical academies to AI‑driven models like Austin’s Alpha School—and her goal of producing a best‑practices toolkit for all fifty states. The hour then pivots sharply to controversial school protests in Minneapolis, where staff and administrators walked out during political demonstrations, prompting criticism that public schools behave as “shock troops” for far‑left activism. McMahon signals that such closures could invite federal investigation or funding consequences, especially given Minnesota’s already weak academic performance. Clay and Buck follow with a broader critique of America’s K–12 system—calling it a glorified daycare model that prioritizes union demands over student outcomes—while advocating for parental empowerment, school choice, and more flexible education pathways. Another Trans Shooter A major conversation on rising violence involving transgender-identifying shooters, sparked by news of a British Columbia mass shooting. The hosts link this to previous attacks in Minneapolis and Nashville, arguing that the media and police distort facts by prioritizing preferred pronouns over biological accuracy. The transcript includes an extended critique of mental‑health issues, hormonal drugs, and the cultural narrative that non‑affirmation constitutes “genocide,” which the hosts argue contributes to radicalization among vulnerable individuals. They highlight the police’s admission that the Canadian shooter was biologically male, despite earlier claims of “female,” and examine concerns about public safety, media bias, and political correctness. Jesse Kelly Hangs With Us Jesse Kelly, host of The Jesse Kelly Show and author of the newly released Jesse’s Little Red Book opens the hour with their signature banter—roasting each other’s haircuts, mustaches, and Super Bowl party choices—before diving into deeper political and cultural issues shaping the country under President Donald Trump. A major segment centers on Jesse Kelly’s new book, which he describes as a free, 93‑page collection of his insights on politics, culture, party dynamics, and even food. From there, the hosts pivot into a fiery discussion of the Jeffrey Epstein hearings, expressing frustration that self‑identified victims continue holding press events without naming alleged abusers. The conversation compares the situation to the trajectory of the Me Too movement, arguing that legitimate victim advocacy has been diluted by performative claims, opportunism, and media manipulation. The political analysis intensifies as the hosts look ahead to Election 2026, with Jesse predicting that Republicans may lose the House but retain the Senate, depending largely on the strength of the economy and whether “normie voters” feel financial relief in their everyday lives. The hour also features a humorous cultural debate after Clay proposes that Taylor Swift may be evolving into the “21st‑century Beatles,” prompting Jesse’s mock‑therapeutic concern and Buck’s acknowledgment of Swift’s global cultural dominance.
