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. TX Sen. Ted Cruz Joins the Show! Clay highlights encouraging data showing core inflation dropping to 2.6%, its lowest level since March 2021. The hosts explain why this trend signals progress toward the Federal Reserve’s 2% target and could lead to lower interest rates in 2026. They also discuss affordability challenges and debate proposals like capping credit card interest rates at 10%, with Senator Ted Cruz joining the show to warn about unintended consequences that could hurt low-income Americans by restricting access to credit. The hour concludes with a deep dive into Iran’s escalating protests against the Ayatollah’s regime, featuring an extended interview with Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz calls the uprising a potential “Berlin Wall moment,” predicting the Islamic theocracy could collapse within weeks following its humiliating defeat in the recent 12-day war with Israel. He praises President Trump’s strong stance in support of Iranian freedom and outlines strategies ranging from cyber operations to limited kinetic strikes against regime forces, while stressing the importance of keeping the revolution authentically Iranian. Cruz also reveals that Elon Musk has activated Starlink over Iran to help protesters bypass government censorship, underscoring the role of technology in modern resistance movements. Buck's Crazy Credit Card Story From cultural flashpoints, the discussion moves to economic policy and affordability, spotlighting Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year. Clay questions whether a president can legally impose such a cap, while Buck recalls predatory practices like shifting due dates and punitive APR hikes that previously triggered regulatory crackdowns. Senator Ted Cruz warns that such caps could backfire by restricting credit access for high-risk borrowers, pushing them toward payday lenders or worse. Listener calls enrich the debate: one caller warns that temporary caps could encourage larger balances only to reset at 20% later, echoing pitfalls of adjustable-rate mortgages; another shares a teachable moment with her grandson about compound interest and minimum payments, underscoring the need for financial literacy in schools. Clay contextualizes Trump’s move as part of a broader populist strategy to address affordability concerns heading into the 2026 midterms, alongside proposals to curb institutional home purchases. Financial Literacy Isn't Taught at School The hour opens with a candid discussion on financial literacy and mortgage realities, as Clay explains how most homeowners misunderstand amortization tables. For the first decade of a 30-year mortgage, nearly all payments go toward interest rather than principal, leaving many Americans unaware of how little equity they build early on. The hosts argue that schools fail to teach essential financial skills—such as understanding compound interest, credit card debt, and mortgage structures—leaving consumers vulnerable to predatory practices. This ties into their broader critique of systemic financial inequities and the need for transparency in lending. The conversation then shifts to Trump’s economic agenda, highlighted by his speech at the Detroit Economic Club. Clay and Buck analyze Trump’s populist proposals, including a one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10% and restrictions on institutional investors buying single-family homes. They debate the feasibility and impact of these measures, noting that while Trump’s plan may face legal hurdles, it resonates politically by addressing affordability concerns. Buck shares personal anecdotes about credit card companies’ predatory tactics, reinforcing why Trump’s stance on consumer protection is striking a chord with voters. The hosts also explore how housing shortages are exacerbated by illegal immigration and corporate ownership of residential properties, driving up prices and squeezing middle-class families. SCOTUS Trans Athlete Arguments From economics, the hour pivots to a landmark Supreme Court case on transgender athletes in women’s sports, featuring an interview with Jennifer Sey, founder of XX-XY Athletics and former Levi’s executive. Sey, who spoke at a rally on the steps of the Supreme Court alongside Riley Gaines, calls the case a fight for reality and fairness, arguing that Title IX was designed to protect female athletes based on biological sex—not gender identity. She warns that allowing males to compete in women’s sports undermines decades of progress and discourages girls from participating. Sey predicts that even if the Court rules 6–3 in favor of states like West Virginia and Idaho, progressive states will double down on policies permitting biological males in female sports, framing the issue as a cultural battle that must be fought beyond the courtroom. Clay and Buck echo her concerns, blasting terms like “cisgender” and “trans girls” as linguistic fictions that normalize gender ideology at the expense of women’s rights.

Trump Is Too Stupid To Realize He's Intentionally Destroying The Economy

A Trump-backed prosecutor quietly opened an investigation into Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell in an attempt to pressure him into quitting. This move has the potential to destroy the economy as we know it, as economists and other global experts have insisted that any attack on the Fed's independence would completely destroy faith in the US economy both home and abroad, sending our currency into a tailspin and putting a halt on investments into the US. In an interview with The New York Times published this week, Donald Trump came out AGAINST the Civil Rights Act because, as he falsely claimed, it led to white people being treated "very badly." That never happened anywhere in the United States, and there was never any coordinated, state-sponsored "bad treatment" of white people. But Trump knows that he's in trouble with his base, so he's leaning back into the racism that made him their favorite candidate to begin with. The White House is furious over Kristi Noem's actions and they are now panicking because they fear she's ruined everything they've been working towards (which is to get rid of as many non-white people as they can.) Their racist agenda has been derailed over the killing of Renee Good and Noem's response to the shooting. Thousands of people took to the streets to protest ICE over the weekend, and that's not what the administration wanted to happen as they were already struggling to get the public on their side on the issue of immigration. Republican Senator Ted Cruz held a Senate hearing last week on a proposal he has to "hold rogue judges accountable." But Cruz, like many Republicans, didn't think about the future when he came up with his proposal, and analysts pointed out quickly that Democrats could use the same procedure to impeach Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon. No judge has made it more obvious that she doesn't care about the rule of law more than Cannon herself, and Cruz's proposal could be exactly what Democrats need to remove her for good.The German government came out and condemned completely false statements made recently by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. The country was forced to remind people of the truth after Kennedy falsely claimed that German doctors were prosecuted for not administering Covid vaccines. The truth is that doctors were free to either give the vaccine or choose not to do so, and not a single person was punished for their decision. But Kennedy lies with impunity because that's all he can do to back up his quack claims. 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!

1. New Year’s Resolutions The first part of the discussion is lighthearted and personal. Both hosts share their resolutions for 2026: Ted Cruz’s resolutions: Lose 30 pounds (from 236 lbs to 206 lbs) through diet and exercise. Complete a “Dry January” (no alcohol for the month). Read the Bible daily throughout the year. Ben Ferguson’s resolutions: Focus on building muscle after significant weight loss (from 298 lbs to 209 lbs). Commit to reading the Bible daily alongside Cruz. They also reflect on family life, parenting, and the emotional challenges of children growing up and leaving home. 2. Minnesota Shooting, Riots & Fraud The second part shifts to a serious political discussion: Incident in Minnesota: A woman allegedly tried to run over an ICE agent with her SUV and was fatally shot. The hosts argue that the Left is politicizing the event, portraying the woman as a victim, and using the situation to attack law enforcement. Rhetoric and Violence: They criticize Democratic leaders for inflammatory language, claiming it encourages violence against ICE and law enforcement. Examples include: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey telling ICE to “get out” of the city. Governor Tim Walz suggesting Minnesota is “at war” with the federal government. Fraud Scandal: They discuss a massive Somali-related fraud in Minnesota, allegedly involving $9 billion in taxpayer funds across multiple sectors (childcare, transportation, etc.). The conversation frames this as deliberate Democratic corruption tied to immigration policies and vote-buying. Law Enforcement Advice: Practical tips for interacting safely with police during traffic stops are shared, emphasizing respect and de-escalation. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

January 6th and The Real Insurrection

Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning with Sasha Stone

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 5, 2026 40:24


Part One | Part Two January 6th was terrifying for many Americans. After all, they saw it on television. But what did they really see? Did they know what actually unfolded that day? Did they even ask? Trump is the Jan. 6 President, proclaims the New York Times' Editorial Board.And the text:What I learned, living through these events as a former Democrat, is that the New York Times Editorial Board is lying through its teeth. Or maybe they aren't lying. Maybe they really do believe it. They exist inside the Doomsday Cult of the Left, after all, along with all of those high-minded “journalists” at the New Yorker and the Atlantic.But to make the bold proclamation that any protest, or even riot, against oppressive forces, whether you believe them to be oppressive or not, is un-American proves they don't know this country or its history very well.There were two sides to this story. If I'd never left the Left, I would have believed their version of the event. I would have been just as horrified. I would have thought it was an attack on democracy. But protests are the voices of the unheard and a healthy sign of any democracy, and for a grassroots movement, and millions of Americans who had been disenfranchised by the four years Trump was in power? This was the best way for them to be heard. The only way for them to be heard.They just didn't know they were walking into an ambush by forces far greater than them, and more powerful than any political party in American history and what they wanted to do was use that protest - a moment of desperation for desperate Americans abandoned by the government, the culture and most institutions - and demonize them further by calling them extremists, terrorists, Nazis, insurrectionists. January 6th was played on a loop by the Democrats and their propaganda machine, once known as the legacy media. And why wouldn't it be? It was everything they needed at just the right time. See, there's a Confederate flag. See, there's a hangman's rope. See, there's some guy in horns howling inside the Capitol. Zip ties, hanging Mike Pence, Trump watching the mob, and hoping they wouldn't stop. It all painted a picture in our minds of an angry president amidst a violent coup. In our age of algorithm-driven mass hysteria, we're no different from the Puritans in Salem who believed in “spectral evidence,” what you can't see but can only imagine. January 6th finally provided them with the proof they needed of their campaign against MAGA.It's just that none of it was true. Why would Trump have wanted a riot? He'd gone to great effort to convince Senators Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz to debate the election in the Senate. All the riot did was hand absolute power to the Democrats, Reichstag Fire style. Not only did the media sell that lie, but you'd be severely punished if you asked any questions, especially about the 2020 election. Yes, we lived through that and more. Just because the Democrats have memory-holed everything they've done in the last ten years to cling to power doesn't mean it didn't happen or that we shouldn't talk about it. There was nothing wrong with talking about an election that was anything but free and fair. I naively went into it as a major Biden advocate, believing he could win the old-fashioned way. I didn't know they'd hide him and Kamala Harris in the basement and let the legacy media do all of the heavy lifting. I didn't know they'd planned it—everything that happened throughout 2020 to ensure Trump was taken out of power, like they were meddling in some third-world country's elections. It's all written down in TIME Magazine. They planned on saving an election that was not theirs to save. Who gave them that right? The American people decide, and if one political party believes itself to be above the people, then that is an insurrection, not against the government but against all of us and a fair process we depend on. They justified everything they did by the lies they told themselves about who Trump really was and how dangerous he was supposed to be. They rigged the election by manipulating the media, changing any law that got in their way, using COVID as an excuse to push ballot harvesting, funded by a $400 million cash infusion, and all the while pretending they were “saving democracy.”By all accounts, I should have been cheering them on. Yes, get Trump! Anything and everything should be allowed as long as we were saving the country from Hitler! I believed that at first. Why wouldn't I? I was straight out of Central Casting as a Resistance Lib. This was the back of my car in 2012.This is who I was.Before that, I was just a lowly Oscar blogger spending my time writing about superficial things, but suddenly, in 2015, everything changed. I was in a panic about the Greenhouse Effect and the sea level rise. I threw myself into politics to help the Democrats win. Overnight, I became someone who mattered online, with a growing following, adoration, and kindness from strangers. The warm embrace of the elite Left felt intoxicating: invitations to exclusive parties, friendships with high-status blue-checks on Twitter like Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson, and Oprah, so much love and support online - after all, I was helping to save democracy and the planet! I was even invited to an early fundraiser for Joe Biden in May of 2019. It was necessary. I was important. I mattered.You can imagine, then, how surreal it would have been for anyone who knew me that way to see me starting to question the official narratives. For me, it began with what I believed was mass hysteria that had overtaken my side. Just as the Southerners had whipped themselves up into a frenzy, believing that if the slaves were freed, there would be chaos and violence, so too did we believe that if Trump won, that was the end of everything. But, looking back, all it really was was a populist revolt against a ruling class that just decided what America would be now. Class no longer mattered, only skin color and gender identity did.Little by little, I began to pull away as things got weird. The more I tried to speak out, the worse it got for me. They went after me hard on social media for years. But none of that would have driven me away from the Democrats. As with so many others, 2020 was the turning point for me. I suddenly could see the strings, and I wondered who was pulling them. Trotting out experts to say “systemic racism” was more important than a global pandemic, and trotting them out again to discourage Trump from sending in the National Guard. And again, to say the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. How stupid did they think we were?We lurched from COVID to racism back to COVID to lockdowns, and all the while, as I would come to realize, the aim was only to GET TRUMP. Imagine completely taking over an election to take out a one-term president with a strong economy. Why?I asked the same question then as I wonder today. Why did it have to be an existential crisis? Why drive half the country to the brink of insanity? Why cosplay Trump as Hitler and pretend this was World War II? Couldn't they win the old-fashioned way with better candidates and better policies? Russiagate, spying on his campaign, two impeachments, four indictments, convicting him of a felony, taking his mug shot, two assassination attempts, trying to throw him off the ballots, and needing the Supreme Court to shut it down, and the American people still chose Trump. Shouldn't that have been the wakeup call? Shouldn't that have been the moment their stupid, futile, destructive war ended?No. It wasn't about politics for the Left. It was deeper than that. It was as deep as preserving the South before, during, and after the Civil War. January 6th allowed them a way out of what they'd become, not what MAGA had become. They were the violent ones and had been going all the way back to 2015, when a mob descended upon Trump supporters.They rioted at Trump's inaugural. They believed themselves justified in attacking Trump supporters because they were convinced they were “fascists.” But their words meant nothing because they distorted them beyond comprehension. What does it mean to call someone Hitler, a fascist, a dictator, a rapist, a pedophile, a racist, a white supremacist? These words mean nothing now. And then came 2020, the point of no return. For me, it was the recognition that my side didn't care about democracy or the truth. They only cared about defeating an imaginary enemy they invented but never existed. And were prepared to bring this country to its knees to achieve that goal.When I saw this video of Sue's 100-year-old mattress store, I posted it on social media, and the response was, “How can you care more about property than people”? By then, they had already called me a racist many times, and they were pushing me out of utopia and farther and farther away. Was I a racist because I cared about Sue and the older man who defended her with a fire extinguisher? Trump's speech at Mt. Rushmore was the first time I'd heard anyone in public life talk about what we could all see but almost no one would say out loud. The media called it dark and divisive because, of course, they did. Are you getting it yet? This only goes one way. That was for me yet another layer of the onion being pulled back to reveal what the legacy media had become. They were not reporting the news. They were telling us what to think, and they still are. After I started watching Trump's rallies for myself, I kept waiting for the version of Trump we were sold to emerge. He never did. Instead, a guy who would stand in the pouring rain to speak to his supporters showed me what MAGA was really about. It was a love story. Trump had their backs, and they had his.Just listen to them as he visits East Palestine, Ohio after the train derailed and spilled toxic waste in their tiny forgotten town.That's why they showed up in DC on January 6th. Not to storm the Capitol. Not to hang Mike Pence. Not to overthrow the United States government, as if. If you know them, you know there are no people in this country who love it more. You know they would never damage the Capitol. They are the side that prides itself on not being violent like the Left. The narrative after January 6th was and remains a lie.Why is it that the Left was given full and free rein to rampage anywhere they pleased all throughout that Summer, and the Trump supporters were treated like terrorists who flew planes into the World Trade Center, and the Japanese who bombed Pearl Harbor? Because the Left had, and still has, most of the power to shape the media narrative and thus, reality.I had to ask these questions of myself, someone who had gone along with so much of it, not because I was a conformist but because I genuinely believed it. The more questions I asked, the worse it got for me. That was when I knew there was no talking to them, no shaking them out of it, no hoping for sanity to return. And there was no saving the Left. They were no longer the party I once knew.What Democrats want is their utopia, or Woketopia, back. They have always believed Trump was an insect who needed to be crushed, and his place in American life was temporary, and once he's gone, “things will go back to normal.”To them, it's all Trump. One last cancel. He's the only person they couldn't destroy and the only thing standing in their way.Whatever he is for, they are against. They are even rooting against America, rooting for America to falter before the eyes of the world. Imagine being that petty. If we entered World War III, does anyone doubt they'd all be out there trying to ensure Trump fails? The irony of the Madouro capture is that it exposes the Left as liars yet again. Here is what it is like to be under the rule of a dictator. Everything the Left has been LARPing (Live Action RolePlay) for the last ten years is what Madouro actually was. The juxtaposition between the Venezuelans celebrating and the liberals complaining is illuminating.John Brown Two WaysJohn Brown was an abolitionist who was executed for treason by the federal government for a slave insurrection before the Civil War. He was hailed as a hero by the North and became an inspiration for those willing to fight and die for a cause.If the American Revolution was about liberating the colonies from the British and the Civil War was about liberating the slaves from bondage, what is our Virtual Civil War really about? Who is to be liberated at the end of it? More importantly, what are the causes worth fighting and dying for?In the film One Battle After Another, sure to win Best Picture this year at the Oscars, the film's ANTIFA-like revolutionary Perfidia Beverly Hills lays it out:Our Virtual Civil War already has a body count. Charlie Kirk's assassination by a transgender-supporting terrorist, Luigi Mangione's assassination of a healthcare CEO, the attempted assassinations of Trump, and the ongoing attacks on ICE agents seem to lock in what the Left is fighting for.Are they fighting for a border-free America because borders themselves are oppressive white supremacy? It sure looks that way. Are they prepared to fight and die to preserve Woketopia? Some of them are. Maybe more of them will be.Does our future look like 1984, where geography takes a backseat to ideology, and we'll be aligned with Germany, the UK, Canada, and France, with migrants flowing freely into our countries, and where you will be okay as long as you agree that 2+2=5 and you love Big Brother?Abraham Lincoln, like Winston Churchill, was what Neil Howe and William H. Strauss called a Gray Champion of the Fourth Turning. When I look at what Trump is doing now, the bold moves, the attacks he's survived, there is no doubt he is our Fourth Turning's Gray Champion. When I see videos like this, I am reminded of why. Who else but Trump would do this? He shows them every day that he is not afraid of them, not even a little bit, even after being shot in the head, impeached, and convicted.Will Tyler Robinson, Matthew David Crooks and whatever that surfer dude out in Florida's name was be seen by the Left as the John Browns of their time? Martyrs willing to fight and die to save “democracy,” or to avenge transgender people, or immigrants? Do those on the Right see the Jan 6ers as the John Browns of their fight, beating corruption and the deep state?Lincoln sought, above all, to preserve the Union and saw the war as a test of “whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.” Once you fracture the Union, then there is no America at all, and it might as well be 1984.As for me, it's like Bob Dylan once said, How does it feel? To be on your own? With no direction home? Like a complete unknown? How does it feel? It feels like freedom. // This is a public episode.

Keith's allergies caused such severe swelling that he now resembles Jeffy, while Pat plans to flee the incoming polar vortex — just like Ted Cruz did. A quick reminder: President Biden's recent visit to California wasn't to address the fires but to see family. Back at the White House, Biden struggled during a signing ceremony, forgetting what he was doing and raising questions about why he's signing anything when Trump will likely undo it. Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing has been a spectacle, with criticism flying from the Left, particularly women. The hearing featured bizarre moments, such as questions about Trump potentially taking Greenland by force, defining “jagoff,” and addressing allegations of sexual misconduct. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) also called out his colleagues for their hypocrisy during the proceedings. Meanwhile, speculation continues over whether there will be a Biden Presidential Library, which many predict will be mocked as an uninspiring destination. Congress is locked in debates about women's health and the definition of a woman, while the dominance of trans women in female sports continues to ignite controversy.

It's Friday, January 2nd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims killed 14 in Adamawa State Fourteen Nigerians are dead, and four are missing after Boko Haram, a Muslim terrorist group, attacked three villages on the evening of December 29th in Adamawa State, reports International Christian Concern. In addition, numerous homes and businesses were vandalized or burned in the attacks, which struck the villages of Zah, Mubang Yadul, and Kijing. Many villagers fled for their safety. The attackers reportedly fled into the bush before security personnel arrived. The attacks, which occurred days after the U.S. struck ISIS-affiliated Muslim militants in northwest Nigeria, were the latest in a string of assaults on villages in the area to occur around Christmas. MN employees: "Gov. Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud." Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana took to the Senate floor to address how it's possible that Somalis in Minnesota were able to defraud taxpayers to the tune of $1 billion, possibly $9 billion, through fake non-profits. KENNEDY: “Here's what the Legislative Auditor in Minnesota said: ‘The threat of litigation and the negative press affected how the state politicians use their regulatory power.' “And here's what a fraud investigator in the Attorney General's office said: ‘There is a perception that forcefully tackling this issue would cause political backlash from the Somali community, which is a core voting block for Democrats.' “One of the other witnesses in the fraud investigation said, ‘Look, the 80,000-voting block folks with Somali ancestry, you got to have their votes to win in Minneapolis. And if you're a Democrat, if you can't win Minneapolis, you can't win in the state.' So, the politicians did nothing.” Senator Kennedy quoted from a social media post in which hundreds of employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Service weighed in. KENNEDY: “Don't just take my word for it, and don't blame the state employees. They tried. In fact, recently the state employees, they just said, ‘Look, we've had enough.' Several hundred employees from the Minnesota Department of Human Service, who administered this program, they posted this. I'm quoting now. '[Democratic] Governor Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on.' That's employees talking, hoping for a partnership and stopping fraud. ‘But no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers.'” Jeremiah 9:6 says, “'You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge Me,'” declares the LORD.” Additional massive fraud at Somali-run day care centers in Minnesota In a related story, YouTuber Nick Shirley, age 23, has exposed what appears to be massive additional fraud in taxpayer-subsidized, Somali-run day care centers. This has prompted the Department of Health and Human Services to announce that it is derailing the $185-million gravy train.  HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neil said on X, “We have frozen all child care payments to the state of Minnesota,” reports The Blaze. O'NEIL:” “Intrepid journalists have made shocking and credible allegations of extensive fraud in Minnesota's child care programs. We believe the state of Minnesota has allowed scammers and fake day cares to siphon millions of taxpayer dollars over the past decade.” Muslim NYC Mayor sworn in with Quran Incoming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani took his New Year's Eve oath of office on his grandfather's Quran and a 200-year-old Quaran from the New York Public Library. It marked the first time a New York City mayor used Islam's misguided text to be sworn in, reports the Associated Press. The 34-year-old Democrat became mayor in a long-closed subway station beneath City Hall, the first Muslim, the first South Asian and the first African-born person to hold that position. Most of Mamdani's predecessors were sworn in on a Bible, although the oath to uphold the federal, state, and city constitutions does not require the use of any religious text. In addition, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has directly labeled Mayor Mamdami a Communist.  Posting on X, Cruz wrote, “When communists rule, individual rights—invariably—are taken away.” Listen to the Big Apple Mayor's own words. MAMDAMI: “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” CT Governor to give $10 million to abortion giant Planned Parenthood Connecticut Democrat Governor Ned Lamont has announced he intends to give $10.4 million of taxpayers' money to Planned Parenthood of Southern New England, in order to compensate for Trump's decision to defund the abortion giant, reports LifeSiteNews.com. The Connecticut Mirror reported the governor's latest spending proposal, part of $41 million to make up for lost federal funds for a variety of so-called “services,” bringing the total committed for that purpose up to almost $168 million. Parents: School cancels Christmas concert over “Jesus” lyrics And finally, parents in Fonda, New York are furious after the annual elementary school Christmas concert was canceled. Many suspect it's because a teacher was offended by the name of Jesus, reports Christian talk show host Todd Starnes. Children at Fonda-Fultonville Elementary School had worked very hard to learn songs for the concert.  But there was one particular song that caused a bit of controversy. The song is called, “Oh, What a Special Night” and it tells the birth of Christ from the perspective of the animals around the manger scene. At the end of each verse, the children sang, “Thank you God for Baby Jesus.” The school district confirmed that the song was removed from the concert under guidance from their legal department.  Shortly after that, the concert was canceled. On Facebook, one parent wrote, “So tired of this woke culture, where one parent can call in and complain, and ruin it for the entire district.” Another said, “It is CHRISTmas. If someone doesn't agree with that, then they don't need to participate, and their parents don't need to attend. … The school has ruined the countless hours of practice the other kids have put in, as well as the joy and excitement they feel when they see their families in the audience. All of that happiness has been taken away.” Isaiah 9:6 declares, “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

professorjrod@gmail.comIn this episode of Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide, my students dive into the notorious Cambridge Analytica scandal and its profound impact on data privacy and technology ethics. Our students break down how seemingly harmless personality quizzes exploited Facebook data, creating psychological profiles that influenced elections worldwide. This discussion not only explores real-world technology applications but also enhances your understanding of data security—an essential topic for IT skills development and CompTIA exam prep. Tune in to expand your knowledge of technology education and the critical role of informed consent in today's digital landscape.We walk through the mechanics: the Open Graph loophole, the “This Is Your Digital Life” app, and the shift from demographic targeting to OCEAN-based psychographics that amplified fear, duty, or curiosity depending on your traits. The conversation connects the dots from early experiments with Ted Cruz to huge ad impression volumes tied to the 2016 cycle, explores coordination concerns with super PACs, and examines why these tactics made public debate harder and disinformation easier to spread. Along the way, our students highlight the whistleblowers who surfaced the practice and the global footprint that reached Brexit, the Caribbean, and beyond.The fallout mattered. Facebook faced FTC, SEC, and UK ICO actions; Cambridge Analytica went bankrupt; and Meta tightened API access to cut off friend data collection. We also dig into the privacy wave that followed—GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California—and what those laws do and don't fix. The core takeaway is clear: ethical data practices and transparent advertising aren't nice-to-haves; they're the guardrails for a healthy digital public square. If personal data can be turned into political power, then consent, purpose limits, and accountability must be visible and enforceable.Listen for a clear, step-by-step breakdown, plain-language answers to tough questions, and practical context you can use to evaluate political ads and platform policies.

No Doubt About It

A rough Cowboys game, one epic curb trip, and then straight into the numbers that matter: we unpack new post-election polling showing a city that believes it's on the wrong track and still reelects the incumbent by a wide margin. The data is bracing. Crime and homelessness top voter concerns, majorities expect little improvement, and yet identity beats performance. We walk through why early decisions, negative partisanship, and team-first voting flipped what should have been a challenger advantage into a decisive status-quo win.From there, we connect the dots to statewide prospects and national currents. If Albuquerque remains a 20-plus point anchor, a Republican can't compete without reshaping the urban map—through smarter registration, better GOTV, and a concrete agenda on affordability, insurance costs, and public safety. We also track a subtle but important shift: more Republicans now identify with the party label rather than the MAGA brand, hinting at a real 2028 fight instead of a coronation. JD Vance remains formidable, but we explore why figures like Marco Rubio, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and Glenn Youngkin could push a vibrant primary that tempers the party in the fire.We don't shy away from media critique, either. A staged “gotcha” moment aimed at Erika Kirk crosses a line, raising questions about fairness and the incentives driving broadcast drama. On the business front, Ford's pullback on the Lightning offers a sober lesson: EVs will win on performance, charging speed, and range, not on mandates. And a Heisman speech from Fernando Mendoza brings it home with a reminder that toughness can be quiet, humility travels far, and belief plus discipline still move mountains.If you value data over noise and want a clear view of where politics, policy, and culture collide, this one's for you.

Democrats have signaled that they're running in the 2026 midterms on “affordability.” This week, Trump unleashed several angry, wild-eyed rants about their “affordability” message. In one, he raged that this message is a “con job.” In  another, he seethed that it's a “Democrat scam.” He's angry because these attacks are working, and because he knows it means the GOP's midterm woes are getting much worse. And right on cue, in this week's special election in Tennessee that Republicans won, the vote shifted 13 points to the left relative to 2024. That shocked Republicans into a panic: Representative Elise Stefanik openly fretted that Republicans are “underperforming.” Senator Ted Cruz urged Republicans to sound the “alarm.” And a senior GOP strategist called the result a “flashing red warning.” We talked to Amanda Litman, the president of Run for Something, which is recruiting candidates across the country. She digs into the special election results to explain why they're good news, details how Democrats can keep the momentum going through 2026, and reflects on what could still go wrong.

Back in October, Nick Fuentes, the Gen Z white nationalist influencer, was trending in the news after a leaked Young Republicans chat revealed how his ideas were taking hold in some conservative circles. Then, just a week or so later, Fuentes sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson. That 2-hour interview triggered a crisis amongst the GOP's top brass that pitted major conservative influencers against each other, and garnered headlines declaring the start of a Republican “civil war.” For this midweek podcast extra, host Micah Loewinger called up Zack Beauchamp, senior correspondent for Vox, to wade through the fallout around Fuentes and Carlson, and break down what this tells us about antisemitism in American politics.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

1. Hostage Remains and Psychological Warfare The podcast opens with a news story from the Jerusalem Post about Hamas returning partial remains to Israel. These remains were not from known hostages, which the speaker describes as a form of psychological torture against Israeli families. The Red Cross acted as an intermediary in the handover, but Hamas did not specify whose remains were being returned. 2. Personal Reflections and Pilgrimage Ben then shares that this trip to Israel is a spiritual journey, visiting sites related to Jesus and expressing feelings of safety and peace in Jerusalem. Encourages others to visit Israel, stating it feels safe despite the conflict. 3. Rise of Antisemitism in the U.S. A major theme is the alleged rise of antisemitism among American conservatives. Specific figures mentioned include Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes, accused of downplaying Israel’s importance as a U.S. ally. The speaker references Senator Ted Cruz, who warned of a “growing cancer” of antisemitism on the political right and urged Christian leaders to confront it. 4. Media Criticism Ben criticizes mainstream media for allegedly portraying Israel as the aggressor and failing to tell the stories of Israeli victims and hostages. 5. Support for Donald Trump Ben praises Donald Trump’s leadership, particularly his role in the Abraham Accords and efforts to secure the release of hostages. Expresses gratitude from Israelis for Trump’s support and contrasts it with previous U.S. administrations. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Kennedy’s Humor and Persona (GRAB SEN KENNEDY'S NEW BOOK HERE!) Kennedy is a "Southern trial lawyer with a sharp wit", often underestimated due to his accent and folksy demeanor. He’s known for devastating cross-examinations of judicial nominees, both Democrat and Republican. His humor is often biting and irreverent, with jokes about colleagues like Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, and even Ted Cruz. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Senate Culture Kennedy compares the Senate to junior high school, full of cliques, egos, and petty drama. He shares stories of interactions with nominees who failed basic constitutional knowledge. The book aims to demystify the Senate and show how disconnected Washington can be from everyday Americans. 3. Critique of Washington Kennedy argues that Washington lacks common sense, and that change is only possible by removing entrenched interests (“pigs out of the creek”). He emphasizes the importance of storytelling in politics, using humor to make serious points. 4. Praise and Promotion Cruz and Ferguson praise Kennedy’s storytelling and comedic timing. The book is a very giftable item, especially for those with conservative leanings or frustrations with Washington.
