Journalist Hospitalized After Being ASSAULTED By ICE Agent

A photojournalist was attacked by an ICE agent as he attempted to get photographs inside of a courthouse where ICE apprehended people who were attending their court appearances. The ICE agent decided that he didn't want this gross abuse of justice photographed, so he slammed the reporter to the ground outside of the elevator. The reporter was seemingly knocked unconscious and didn't move for quite some time before he was eventually carried out on a stretcher by paramedics and taken to a hospital. Donald Trump is launching a new, official government website called TrumpRx for Americans to apply for discounts on prescription drugs. This move is part of a deal with drug company Pfizer to give Americans better prices on pharmaceuticals. The deal is actually not that bad, but the fact that you have to type in Trump's name just to get to a website that then redirects you to the actual website is beyond disgusting. Not to mention the fact that Americans won't be saving much, as drug prices have gone up significantly since Trump took office, and consumers will just be getting the "old" prices they were paying a year or two ago, if they are lucky. A federal judge appointed by Ronald Reagan has absolutely annihilated Donald Trump and several members of his cabinet in a scathing, 161-page ruling. The ruling from the judge blasts the administration for trying to suppress Freedom of Speech, for allowing ICE agents to terrorize citizens behind the protection of a face mask, and the blatant disregard for the entire justice system. The judge also decided to include several of the threats that MAGA freaks sent to him in the ruling, just to further show how Americans are threatening judges that don't play nice with Trump. Republican Senator Ted Cruz made what might be the biggest mistake/gaffe that a human being can make. During a Senate hearing this week, Cruz proudly proclaimed that Republicans and Democrats should come together and "stop attacking p*dophiles." After he made this statement, he continued on with his diatribe as if he hadn't just made the worst mistake of his life - and not a single person in the Senate corrected him! The Trump administration has continued to defy the orders of federal courts since their very first loss earlier this year. So far, nothing has happened to anyone in the administration for ignoring court orders, but those days could be coming to an end very soon. A federal judge blasted the administration for defying a court order regarding the dismantling of Voice of America, and the judge signaled that civil contempt charges might be on the way.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

The fight over the Epstein files has erupted into a raw political brawl that exposes Washington's deep fractures. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene lit the fuse with a fiery post claiming she's “not suicidal” and warning that “foreign governments or powerful people” might silence her for pushing to release Epstein's secrets. Sen. Ted Cruz quickly branded her “crazy,” accusing her of antisemitic undertones, while Greene hit back, calling his charge “disgusting” and painting him as beholden to donors. Their feud became a sideshow to the larger push in Congress, where survivors and lawmakers alike are demanding the full, unredacted release of documents that could reveal just how deep Epstein's network ran.Meanwhile, Rep. Robert Garcia joined survivor Annie Farmer in Long Beach to call out the DOJ's “sham” 33,000-page dump of mostly recycled records. Together with bipartisan sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, they are pushing a discharge petition to force a floor vote requiring full disclosure of all unclassified files. Democrats are united, but Republicans remain divided, torn between protecting power and exposing it. For survivors like Farmer, this isn't politics—it's about justice, closure, and breaking decades of silence.

Ralph answers some of your recent questions about the genocide in Gaza, how to jumpstart civic engagement, and more!Your feedback is very important. And the more detailed and factual it is, the better off the impact will be by your initiative and getting back to us. You have to be active in a program like this. Because we're not just talking to the choir here. We want the choir to sing back—in affirmation or dissent.Ralph NaderI was astonished…how disinterested the American people are in empowering themselves. That's the problem we have. The lack of civic motivation, the lack of saying, “Look, we've given our power to only 535 people in the Congress, and they've turned it against us on behalf of some 1,500 corporations. We're going to turn it around. We're the sovereign power.” As I've said a hundred times, the Constitution starts with “We the people,” not “We the Congress” or “We the corporations.” And the people don't seem to want to focus on that. If they had anyone in their neighborhood and community who were treating them the way Congress is treating them—as voters, as workers, as consumers, as parents, as children, as taxpayers—they would never allow it.Ralph NaderYou get more and more voters vulnerable to just what comes out of a politician's mouth. Remember, everything Trump has achieved politically has come out of his mouth—not out of his deeds, just out of his mouth. Repeatedly, unrebutted largely over the mass media, and faithfully relayed to the American people by a supine media which points out his mistakes once in a while, but it was too little, too late.Ralph NaderNews 9/26/25* This week, the campaign for Palestinian statehood notched major victories. According to the BBC, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia and Portugal all announced on Sunday that they would recognize the state of Palestine. They are expected to be joined by a number of smaller states, including Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, Andorra and San Marino. These countries, all traditionally close allies of the United States and Israel, join the 140 countries that already recognize the State of Palestine. A statement by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese explains that this move is “part of a co-ordinated international effort to build new momentum for a two-state solution, starting with a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of the hostages.” These heads of state are pursuing this policy despite a thinly veiled threat from Congressional Republicans, a group of whom – including Senator Ted Cruz and Representative Elise Stefanik – sent a letter to President Macron and Prime Ministers Starmer, Carney and Albanese warning them of possible “punitive measures in response,” and urging them to “reconsider,” per the Guardian.* In more Palestine news, as the Global Sumud Flotilla draws near to the coast of Gaza, they are apparently under low-level attack. Al Jazeera reports the flotilla, “has reported explosions and communications jamming as drones hovered overhead.” In response, the United Nations has called for a probe, with UN Human Rights Office spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan stating, “There must be an independent, impartial and thorough investigation into the reported attacks and harassment by drones and other objects.” In response to this harassment, Reuters reports Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto expressed the “strongest condemnation” and ordered the “Italian multi-purpose frigate Fasan, previously sailing north of Crete, to head towards the flotilla ‘for possible rescue operations', focusing primarily on Italian citizens.” The strong response by the Italian government is likely related to the labor unrest the targeting of the flotilla has engendered within the country. ANSA, a leading Italian news outlet, reports the Unione Sindacale di Base or USB “would proclaim a wildcat general strike and protests in 100 Italian cities for Gaza after the success of Monday's stoppage and protests involving an estimated 500,000 people in 80 cities.” The union has organized these massive protests under the slogan “let's block everything.”* In more foreign policy news, following on the heels of the protests in Nepal, anti-corruption protestors took to the streets in the Philippines this week, Time reports. The acute cause of these protests was a recent audit which found widespread corruption in the country's flood control projects. The Philippines has invested around $9.5 billion on such projects since 2022, but these have been plagued by kickback schemes, resulting in shoddy work and even deaths. Even President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., aka “Bongbong,” sympathized with the protestors, saying “Do you blame them for going out into the streets? If I wasn't President, I might be out in the streets with them…Of course, they are enraged. Of course, they are angry. I'm angry. We should all be angry. Because what's happening is not right.” The potency of these protests is likely to grow as the Philippines was hit this week by Typhoon Ragasa, which is reported to have killed three Filipinos this week, per NBC.* For our final foreign policy update, just days after the dubiously-legal strikes that killed 11 Venezuelans on a boat the U.S. claims was being used to transport drugs, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro sent a letter to American special envoy Richard Grenell, per CNN. In this letter, Maduro denies any involvement with narco-trafficking, calling the allegations “fake news, propagated through various media channels,” and calling for Trump to “promote peace through constructive dialogue and mutual understanding throughout the hemisphere.” Trump brushed off Maduro, saying “We'll see what happens with Venezuela,” perhaps implying a renewed attempt to remove the Venezuelan president. Since then, the U.S. has conducted more of these lethal strikes, with no conclusive proof of the victims' criminality. The U.S. government is offering a $50 million bounty for Maduro's arrest.* Moving northward, a disturbing story comes to us from Florida. The Miami Herald reports, “As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined.” Speaking to the paper, attorneys characterized entering the facility as entering “an alternate [immigration] system where the normal rules don't apply.” This story cites one case of a man “accidentally deported to Guatemala before a scheduled bond hearing,” similar to the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, and a Cuban man supposedly transferred to a facility in California but who could not be located there. This kind of disappearing of migrants adds fuel to the fire of the worst suspicions about the administration's immigration policies. The Florida facility was forced to halt operations after a court ruling in August, but an appeals court has now overruled that ruling. The future of the site and its detainees remains uncertain.* In another instance of what appears to be a cover-up by the Trump administration, NPR reports the Department of Agriculture will “end a longstanding annual food insecurity survey.” In a statement, the USDA called the report “redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous.” This removes another crucial data tool, following the discontinuation of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' jobs report Trump ended just weeks ago. The signature legislation of Trump's second term thus far, the One Big Beautiful Bill, expanded work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which is estimated to cut food aid to 2.4 million Americans. That will surely add to the 47.4 million food insecure households recorded in 2023. Crystal FitzSimons, president of the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC), told NPR “The national food insecurity survey is a critical, reliable data source that shows how many families in America struggle to put food on the table…Without that data, we are flying blind.”* And in another assault on the regulatory state, the Supreme Court this week allowed Trump to keep Rebecca Slaughter – the last remaining Democrat on the Federal Trade Commission – out of her post for another three months. POLITICO reports the high court is reviewing a 90-year-old law which “limit[s] the president's power to fire…officials for political reasons.” According to this report, many expect the conservative majority on the court will rule that that law “unconstitutionally interferes with the president's ability to control the executive branch.” If so, Trump will be able to remove Slaughter permanently – along with any other remaining Democrats within the regulatory apparatus.* On the media front, ABC – and its parent company, Disney – have balked, reinstating Jimmy Kimmel's late night television program after abruptly suspending the show last week. Kimmel, in his return, clarified that “it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,” but excoriated the ABC affiliates who took his show off the air, calling the move “un-American.” This from AP. Theories abound as to why exactly ABC and/or Disney walked back what seemed like a cancellation; these include a potential costly lawsuit due to wrongful termination of Kimmel's contract, as well as a coordinated boycott campaign targeting Disney's streaming service, Disney+. For his part, President Trump washed his hands of the fiasco, writing that Kimmel can “rot in his bad Ratings,” per New York Magazine.* In tech news, Axios reports the Trump administration has approved Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot, for official use by every government agency. This news comes via a press release from the General Services Administration. This release quotes Musk, who says “We look forward to continuing to work with President Trump and his team to rapidly deploy AI throughout the government for the benefit of the country.” This comes after an August 25th letter in which a coalition of over 30 consumer groups – such as Public Citizen, Consumer Federation of America, and the Center for AI and DigitalPolicy – urged the Office of Management and Budget, led by Russell Vought, to “take immediate action to block the deployment or procurement of Grok.” Among the concerns cited in this letter are Grok's penchant for generating “conspiratorial and inflammatory content, including accusations that South Africans were committing a ‘white genocide'...Expressing ‘skepticism' about historical consensus of the Holocaust death toll and espousing Holocaust denial talking points…[and] Referring to itself as ‘MechaHitler'.” It remains to be seen what, if any, next steps opponents can take to halt the incorporation of Grok into the daily functions of the federal government.* Finally, Adelita Grijalva has won the Arizona 7th congressional district special election in a landslide. According to preliminary reports, she swamped her Republican opponent Daniel Butierez by nearly 40 points, according to Newsweek. This is a substantially larger margin than that won by Kamala Harris in 2024, who won the district by 23 points, which itself was a 10-point decline from Joe Biden, who won the district by 33 points in 2020. Grijalva's ascension to the House will further winnow away the Republicans' razor-thin majority in that chamber, bringing the margin to 219-214. She could also prove to be the critical 218th vote in favor of releasing the Epstein files. Adelita is the daughter of Raúl Grijalva, who passed away earlier this year. The elder Grijalva was widely considered one of the most progressive House Democrats, being the first member of Congress to endorse Bernie Sanders in his 2016 campaign and the second to call for Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Hopefully, the new Representative Grijalva will fill those big shoes.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, agitprop—a combination of agitation and propaganda—originates from Lenin's 1902 writings and implemented after the 1917 Russian Revolution to manipulate minds, control thoughts, and incite anger for societal control. The modern American Marxist Democrat Party adapts these tactics. The Democrats speak publicly in press conferences and talk shows to maximize impact, resulting in widespread violence on ICE agents and law enforcement, though they deflect blame onto guns rather than taking credit for their influence. Also, the media hates PM Benjamin Netanyahu just as they hate President Trump, while they praise quisling leaders who surrender to Islamists and Marxists, such as those in the UK, France, Australia, Spain, and Ireland. The media ignores criticisms of dictators like Egypt's president, Qatar's emir, Saudi Arabia's crown prince and Jordan's king, whose fake kingdom was created by Britain and has a history of violence against Palestinians. Without Netanyahu Israel might not exist. Later, in breaking news former FBI director James Comey has been indicted on two counts, making false statements and obstruction of justice. This is unresolved justice not retribution. Sen Ted Cruz calls in and lays out the case against Comey. Cruz details contradictory statements: Deputy Director Andrew McCabe claimed Comey knew and approved the leak to The Wall Street Journal, while Comey denied any involvement in sworn testimony in 2017 and 2020. One must be lying, constituting a felony – the DOJ evidence supports McCabe's account. Afterward, Josh Hammer calls in to discuss the Comey indictments and his last conversation with Charlie Kirk, which disproves Tucker Carlson's claim that Kirk was going to renounce his friendship with Israel. Finally, Peter Navarro calls in to discuss his new book, I Went to Prison So You Won't Have To: A Love and Lawfare Story in Trump Land. Learn more about your ad choices.

Since taking office, President Trump has vowed to seek political vengeance on his opponents. He followed up on this by asking Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Democratic Senator Adam Schiff. Senator Ted Cruz expressed concerns that all this could potentially impact the GOP down the line. How has political retribution defined our current era of politics? President Trump has advised pregnant mothers to stop taking Tylenol because he believes it could lead to autism in children — despite no scientific proof. Similarly, Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. strongly opposes vaccines, and claims they're also linked to autism. He  says that moms who share this belief have been silenced and marginalized. Is the pushback on vaccines a reaction to how regulatory agencies like the CDC handled the COVID-19 pandemic? This week, a listener asked the Left, Right, and Center panel how to navigate conversations with people we deeply disagree with.

Dallas ICE Facility Shooting A gunman attacked an ICE detention center in Dallas, leaving one detainee dead and two critically injured. Authorities found bullet casings with anti-ICE messages, suggesting a political/ideological motive. Commentary links the attack to months of Democratic criticism of ICE, claiming that political rhetoric fueled hostility toward agents. Statements from Gavin Newsom, Jasmine Crockett, Michelle Wu, and others are highlighted as comparing ICE to authoritarian forces, slave patrols, Gestapo, or neo-Nazis. ICE officials argue this rhetoric endangers agents, while critics on MSNBC suggest ICE’s own tactics provoke backlash.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (09/24/2025): 3:05pm- On Tuesday night, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” returned to airwaves following a brief suspension stemming from Kimmel's objectionable comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. Nexstar and Sinclair—which operate a combined 60+ ABC affiliates—did not air Kimmel's return. 3:30pm- On Wednesday, a shooter opened fire on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas—leaving two immigrants dead and several others injured. According to FBI officials, the shooter is believed to have been targeting ICE officers leaving behind bullets with “anti-ICE” engraved on the casings. 3:35pm- In the aftermath of Wednesday's attack on ICE, Senator Ted Cruz implored Democratic politicians to stop demonizing ICE agents and immediately cease using purposefully divisive language—like comparing political opponents to “Nazis.” 3:40pm- Rich plays a montage compiled by @WesternLensman on X which showcases Congressmembers Hakeem Jeffries, Dan Goldman, Pramila Jayapal, Maxwell Frost, Ilhan Omar, Jerry Nadler, Eric Swalwell habitually comparing ICE agents to the gestapo and terrorists, and accusing them of “disappearing” people. 3:45pm- Earlier this month, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett shamefully compared ICE agents to “slave patrols.” When asked whether her rhetoric has crossed the line, Crockett doubled down—baselessly accusing Trump of using Hitler's playbook and accusing the sitting president of being an enemy of the United States. 4:00pm- MSNBC correspondent Rosa Flores quickly dismissed FBI statements regarding the ICE shooter's motive—claiming it's still too early to tell despite anti-ICE engravings on the shooter's bullet casings. Flores went on to say: “A lot of these ICE agents have been masked, so it has been very divisive.” 4:40pm- Even The Atlantic is now acknowledging “left-wing terrorism is on the rise”—and the article was published PRIOR to today's attack on a Dallas, Texas ICE facility. 5:05pm- On Tuesday night, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” returned to airwaves following a brief suspension stemming from Kimmel's objectionable comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Harris denied the allegation—but then backtracked and bizarrely added that she couldn't pick Buttigieg since his sexual orientation posed a campaign “risk.” On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—who is openly gay—responded to Harris's statement by explaining: “you wouldn't pick Pete Buttigieg because he might have been the worst Transportation Secretary in history.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Jimmy Kimmel's controversial return to television, a Supreme Court ruling that could reshape presidential power, the growing struggles of America's farmers and truckers, and new White House warnings about Tylenol and autism. From free speech fights to medical debates, today's brief connects culture, politics, and science shaping America's future.   Jimmy Kimmel Returns to Air with FCC Debate: Disney announced Kimmel would return, calling his remarks “ill-timed and insensitive” but not admitting his claims about Charlie Kirk's assassin were lies. Sinclair caved after death threats, canceling a Kirk tribute and airing Kimmel again. Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz blasted Trump's FCC for even raising news distortion, with Cruz comparing it to “Goodfellas.” Bryan warned, “We cannot sit down with the modern Democrat party… they assassinate people who get in the way — like Charlie Kirk.”   Supreme Court Expands Presidential Power: In a 6–3 decision, the Court allowed Trump to fire a Democrat FTC commissioner while hearing the full case in December. The ruling challenges the 1935 precedent limiting executive power. Bryan explains it could restore Jefferson-style authority, including presidential impoundment of spending. “Welcome to the new version of American democracy… it's a bit of a mess right now.”   Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers Under Pressure: New screwworm cases in northern Mexico threaten U.S. cattle herds already at historic lows. Soybean farmers face collapse as Xi stops buying American crops, while truckers lose money under depressed rates and costly California regulations. Bryan calls for revoking visas of foreign drivers who “can't read or speak English and are killing people on the road.”   White House Links Tylenol to Autism: Trump's HHS and FDA advised pregnant women to limit acetaminophen after new studies showed it can cross the placenta, cause oxidative stress, and disrupt brain development. Critics called the claims weak, but Bryan compared it to past medical dogmas debunked by Dr. Barry Marshall, who proved ulcers were caused by bacteria: “Quite literally the entire world of Medical Science was wrong. That one doctor was right.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Jimmy Kimmel FCC news distortion, Rand Paul Ted Cruz Goodfellas FCC quote, Sinclair cancels Charlie Kirk tribute, Supreme Court Trump FTC ruling, presidential impoundment Jefferson precedent, U.S. screwworm outbreak Nuevo Leon, U.S. soybean farmers China ban, trucker wages California EV mandate, Trump revoke foreign trucker visas, Trump HHS FDA Tylenol autism warning, acetaminophen oxidative stress fetus, Dr. Barry Marshall ulcer Nobel Prize

SEASON 4 EPISODE 17: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: How about this for a plot twist? I'll believe it when I see it - it still depends on television executives doing the moral, right, professional thing AND tacitly admitting they are correcting a mistake, but multiple sources insist that at least at this moment the ABC people expect Jimmy Kimmel to not only not be fired but to return, on the air, in late night, probably before the end of the month. Maybe even this week. Yep. The fascist FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr may have delivered Liberals the biggest gift of the year. The blowback towards ABC is untenable (even polling: the Carr threat was "unacceptable" is above water by 17%; the Kimmel monologue was acceptable, 43%-36%) and the desire to keep Kimmel and maybe now even extend his contract has only grown since last week. And that's in large part because so many key right wingers from Ted Cruz and Rand Paul to Scott Dilbert Adams and Ben Shapiro are enraged by Carr's bullying and rightly recognize that if Trump can do this to ABC, what could a Democratic president do to Murdoch and NewsMax and... THEM. I mean, two out of three MAGAs have podcasts, right? My sources pointed to seven landmarks. First: they HAVEN’T fired him. Second: they actually haven’t said ANYTHING about him since the one sentence announcement about taking him off. Third: HE hasn’t said ANYTHING about ABC, good bad or indifferent. Fourth: remember the Sinclair owned local stations that started all the trouble? The ones who were bribing Trump and FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr by DEMANDING Kimmel be sidelined, so Trump and Carr would waive the rules and let Sinclair buy more than the legal limit OF local stations? Remember their plan to run a Charlie Kirk tribute last Friday night in Kimmel’s time slot? They didn’t run it. They put it on YouTube. No other explanation. Fifth: what happened to the Sinclair demand that Kimmel apologize and pay a bribe, uh, make a donation to Kirk’s scam Turning Point Company? Sixth: how much grief did ABC take for folding to Trump AND for not defending Kimmel as the entire right wing misquoted him? So much that no human can estimate it. And Seventh: how could you possibly put all the Kimmel and Kirk toothpaste back in the tube? As Eric Idle said: All You Need Is Cash. ALSO: Grandpa posts a self-incriminating note to Pam Bondi that he must have thought was being printed or emailed or lord knows what. He is running out of prosecutors who'll prosecute innocent opponents about whom there's no evidence. The Tom Homan $50,000 scandal also involves Emil Bove (and how in the hell did we not see that coming? He literally has the word "HO" in his name). And a self-proclaimed prophetess says she saw Charlie Kirk get his reward in Heaven: a large ice cream cone. B-Block (40:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Congressman Randy Fine sets a new high in low. Stephen A. Smith thinks the Kimmel-Kirk controversy is over a joke. And Vanity Fair's hiring of Olivia Nuzzi is not sitting well with journalists (as one put it, all of them who DON'T sext their sources). C-Block (52:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Hard to understand anything she says or writes but I'm pretty sure Nancy Mace threatened to end my career over Charlie Kirk. Thus I need to review the efforts to end my career, which professionally date back only to 1984 but if you count my semi-pro days in college actually stretch back to late 1977. Virtually everybody who declared me done is out of the business, or deceased. Take a number, Nance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie Kirk Assassination The central focus is the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. It highlights how some individuals on social media and in academic or professional positions were accused of celebrating his death. Commentary draws sharp contrasts between free speech protections and the consequences of hateful or violent speech. First Amendment & Consequences The speakers emphasize that while the U.S. Constitution protects free speech from government prosecution, it does not shield individuals from personal or professional consequences. They compare celebratory speech about Kirk’s murder to other forms of offensive expression that might justifiably lead to disciplinary or employment consequences. Text Messages Between the Assassin and Partner We talk about the text exchanges between the shooter and a transgender partner. These messages are described as both incriminating (a clear confession) and disturbing, while also criticizing mainstream media outlets like ABC News for framing them in a more “romanticized” or “touching” light. Criticism of Media Coverage Strong criticism is directed at outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News for allegedly downplaying or misrepresenting the motives of the assassin. The speakers argue that the media deliberately avoids framing the crime as left-wing political violence tied to Antifa or transgender activism. Antifa and Terrorism Designation The latter portion shifts to broader political implications, particularly Senator Ted Cruz urging the FBI and Trump administration to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization. It discusses legislation (the “Stop Funders Act”) aimed at following the financial networks behind left-wing protest groups, riots, and activist organizations. It links Antifa and Black Lives Matter funding to foreign and domestic wealthy donors (e.g., George Soros). Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

BULLETIN: SEASON 4 EPISODE 16, COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN In an Oval Office news briefing crazy even by his standards, Trump answered a question about the FCC blackmailing of ABC over Charlie Kirk by changing the topic to himself, making up a statistic that "94, 95, 96, or 97 percent" of all network television stories about him are critical of him, and declaring of such criticism: "That's really illegal, in my opinion." In Trump's damaged condition he could forget this by morning. But after this week's mafioso style shakedown of ABC by the FCC and the owners of Sinclair to force Jimmy Kimmel off the air by FCC Commissioner, Brendan Carr, the real question is - what if he doesn't? What if somebody like Carr in his administration decides to curry favor with Trump by trying to enforce an "it's illegal to criticize Trump" declaration"? Taking the two stories together, and perhaps adding in Trump's threat to declare something that doesn't really exist (Antifa) a "terrorist organization" (which could just as easily lead to him declaring you a member of Antifa and thus a "terrorist") the FCC's action is so bad that it provoked serious, well-thought-out, sober yet angry condemnation Friday afternoon from the unlikeliest of sources: Senator Ted Cruz, who warned Republicans that the government needed to stay out of the bullying media business. Whether that will register with Trump remains to be seen. For now the gist is: Trump says criticizing him (or in the best possible interpretation, criticizing him a LOT) is illegal. He cannot remain president under such circumstances.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ted Cruz compares FCC Chair Carr to Mafia boss in Jimmy Kimmel warningsRepublican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas sharply criticized Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr for his comments related to late-night host Jimmy Kimmel shortly before ABC pulled his show off the air.Cruz said he took issue with Carr threatening to cancel ABC's broadcast license over Kimmel's remarks about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.“He says, ‘We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way,'” the senator said of Carr in the latest episode of his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” which aired Friday morning.“And I gotta say, that's right out of ‘Goodfellas,'” Cruz said, referring to the classic mob film.“That's right out of a mafioso coming into a bar going, ‘Nice bar you have here, it'd be a shame if something happened to it,'” he said.“Look, I like Brendan Carr. He's a good guy, he's the chairman of the FCC. I work closely with him, but what he said there is dangerous as hell,” Cruz said at another point in the episode.Cruz's comments put him at odds with President Donald Trump, who applauded Kimmel's suspension and later called Carr “outstanding.”Cruz said he's no fan of Kimmel's and that he is “thrilled that he was fired” over his comments about Kirk.“But let me tell you, if the government gets in the business of saying, ‘We don't like what you the media have said, we're going to ban you from the airwaves if you don't say what we like,' that will end up bad for conservatives,” Cruz said.Kimmel, who has been suspended but not fired, said in his opening monologue Monday night that “the MAGA gang” is “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”On Wednesday, Carr slammed Kimmel at length during an appearance on right-wing commentator Benny Johnson's podcast.ABC has “a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest,” Carr said.“But frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean, look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way,” he said. “These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or you know, there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”Hours later, ABC and Nexstar Media Group, which hosts ABC-affiliated local stations, pre-empted “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely.Nexstar in August announced a planned $6.2 billion acquisition of Tegna — a merger that will require the FCC's approval.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
