God, Guns & Dr. Phil. Christianity needs protecting, according to Trump, so he has created the Religious Liberty Commission. Trump is choosing Dr. Phil McGraw, who got his start on Oprah and then hosted his own daytime TV show, to sit on the holy task force.

Joe Biden said he wouldn't pardon his son, he lied. Then, in an apparent act of spite tantamount to theft, he allowed pieces of the border wall to be hauled off and sold, despite knowing darned well Trump means to finish his boarder wall. He incited two assassination attempts against Trump, and now those may have trigged a new fad in violence: regicide, or variants thereof.

Right-wing pundit Glenn Beck seems to hate gamers, won't let his daughters date gamers, and thinks your little action "figurines" are girly, too. Right-wing figures like Glenn Beck and Matt Walsh are facing backlash for their anti-gaming rhetoric, which reflects a broader cultural conflict over masculinity and leisure, potentially alienating gamers from conservative alliances. 00:00 Glenn Beck and right-wing figures like Matt Walsh are facing backlash for their criticism of gamers and nerd culture amid rising conservatism. 02:15 Glenn Beck sparks controversy by banning his daughters from dating gamers and action figure collectors, claiming these interests harm masculinity. 03:55 Right-wing pundit Matt Walsh disparages gamers, equating their gaming habits to women's TikTok addiction, while warning of a conspiracy to immerse society in a virtual reality. 05:28 Right-wing pundits like Glenn Beck and Ben Shapiro face backlash for their anti-gaming stance, reflecting a broader cultural conflict over masculinity and leisure. 07:26 Right-wing pundits are scapegoating gamers for societal issues, threatening the alliance between gamers and conservatives. 09:54 A right-wing pundit criticizes gamers and action figures, while the speaker reflects on their vintage toy collection. 11:52 The speaker critiques Glenn Beck's dismissal of gaming as childish while pondering the future of gaming for older generations and the fleeting nature of temporary alliances. 13:43 Right-wing pundits may initially court disenfranchised gamers and anime fans for views but will ultimately betray them, reflecting a cultural backlash that leaves these communities feeling isolated. Glenn Beck banned his 18-year-old daughter from dating gamers, calling gaming and collecting figurines "weakening hobbies" that aren't "manly enough" and equating them with being "immature." Beck accused "leftists" of scapegoating guns for school shootings, arguing that "video games" should be targeted by federal regulators instead. Beck declared that women who date gamers are "ignoring nature's role for men," urging right-wing dads to ensure their daughters don't date men who game or collect figurines to maintain "traditional gender roles." Beck's anti-gaming views are part of a larger trend of "right-wing pundits" attacking pop culture, potentially leading to a "satanic panic"-like backlash against gamers and nerds. Beck's criticism of gaming is based on "conspiracy theories" about "Zuckerberg and Silicon Valley elites" plotting a "Ready Player One"-style simulation. Former "GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy" and "Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick" echoed Beck's views, proposing to ban violent video games for teenagers after the "Dayton, Ohio shooting."

On this Salcedo Storm Podcast:Sherry Sylvester is a distinguished senior fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation and a former senior adviser to Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
Texas Second-in-Command, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, of the Republican party, has made a bombshell prediction: a supposed network of Democrats, allegedly orchestrated by former President Barack Obama, will block the incumbent President, Joe Biden, from getting the Democratic ticket for the 2024 election. The startling revelation came from a dispatch on X, an online platform which previously went by the name of Twitter. Patrick stated, 'I've consistently called out, over the past one year, that Joe Biden will not end up as the Democratic candidate. I believe Michelle Obama will be the chosen one.' Patrick further intimated that he believes these manoeuvrings are the result of a Democratic 'deep state' pullinated by Obama affiliates who saw the need to sideline Biden to ensure Democratic victory. He takes this view on the backdrop of contentious findings by a special counsel appointed by the preceding President, Donald Trump. The much-debated report released by the special counsel indicated that Biden, surprisingly, would not be stalled by any legal issues for improper handling of classified documents. The report's critical, unsparingly disparaging appraisal of Biden, especially his cognitive abilities and advancing age, galvanized the Republican party into action. Biden, not mincing words, robustly rebutted the report's contents during a press conference held last Thursday night. He also had to navigate some difficult moments during the press encounter, including an instance where he presumably mixed up the Egyptian head of state with the Mexican president.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I am going to introduce you to the guy who deserves all the credit for getting Trump removed from the Colorado ballot. Some of you may have heard of him. His name is Norm Eisen. I am also going to introduce you to his lieutenant and an organization that pretends to be all about securing democracy. We will talk about the looseness of the Supreme Court's decision in Colorado and the precedent that it sets. And, we also hear from a sheriff in Arizona who tells us what you are giving those who illegally cross the border, one of which is a great big Visa gift card.What does God's Word say? The Created Order: Genesis 1:1–2:3Episode Links:Norm Eisen's Notorious Lawfare Outfit Has Fingerprints All Over Colorado Decision to Remove Trump From BallotBREAKING: Joe Biden emailed Hunter business associate 54 times in 2014. Most of the emails reportedly occurred leading up to and following Hunter Biden being named to Ukrainian energy company Burisma's board.Reporter: “Is Trump an insurrectionist, sir?” Biden: "It's self-evident. You saw it all. Now whether the 14th Amendment applies, I'll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. There's no question about it. None. Zero."Former Attorney General Bill Barr on the Colorado Supreme Court removing Donald Trump from the ballot: "The core problem here is the denial of due process...It was a five day hearing. There was no jury...They were not able to subpoena witnesses...They relied on the January 6th committee hearings, which is mostly hearsay. There was no right to cross-examine...The process here was a procedural Frankenstein!"Texas Lt. Gov @DanPatrick flips script on Democrats after Trump gets barred from ballot in Colorado: "Maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas for allowing 8 million people to cross the border since he's been President."US Army Facing 'TikTok Mutiny' as Soft Recruits Can't Handle Basic SoldieringNavy lieutenant investigated after questioning accuracy of DOD medical database on social mediaLt. Ted Macie is seeking answers regarding the significant increases in potential vaccine injuries and other reported incidents in the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database.
Some conservative officials have expressed strong dissent following a surprising turn of events in Colorado, where a court decision removed former President Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot. The decision pushed these individuals to ponder potential responses, including potentially copying Colorado's tactics and removing current President Biden from ballots in their home states. This unexpected move was the result of a 4-3 ruling from the Supreme Court of Colorado, citing Trump's perceived role in the turbulent events of Jan 6, 2021, considering it as direct and voluntary participation. Even though many of these conservatives raising this 'turnabout is fair play' scenario are doing so more as a rhetorical exercise than a legitimate legal proposal, it's prompting robust discussions within conservative circles. The main argument building this case is about the significant number of people crossing the southern borders since Biden took office. 'Considering the disruptive impact caused by the entry of 8 million uninvited individuals into our state during Biden's presidency, a similar move to that of Colorado might just be something for us Texans to contemplate,' Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick mused during an interview. Even as some of our conservative leading figures denounce Colorado's verdict, they aren't shying away from exploring the potential implications. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis openly questioned the boundaries of such an approach. 'Taking this to its logical conclusion, could we bar Biden from the ballot due to his immigration policy decisions that have resulted in an influx of 8 million people and arguably violated the Constitution?' he inquired while at a campaign event in Iowa.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Will Inboden, the Executive Director of the William Clements Center for National Security and Associate Professor of Public Affairs at the University of Texas Austin (and editor of the Texas National Security Review) joins Eric to discuss the alleged "October Surprise" in 1980 -- the long bruited charge that Reagan campaign manager Bill Casey colluded with Iranian intermediaries to forestall the release of the U.S. hostages until after the election. The original allegation, made by former Carter NSC staffer Gary Sick, resurfaced this spring after former Texas Lt. Governor Ben Barnes gave an interview to Peter Baker of the New York Times alleging that he and the late John Connally travelled the Middle East in 1980 to pass the word to the Iranians that they would get a better deal from Reagan than they would from Carter. One month later Gary Sick (along with Jonathan Alter, Kai Bird, and Stuart Eizenstat) argued in The New Republic that the matter is "All But Settled." Will and Eric discuss the historical evidence (or lack thereof) that supports the theory and compare it to Nixon's efforts to affect the Vietnam negotiations during the 1968 Presidential Election and the collusion between Russian operatives and the Trump campaign that was revealed in the Mueller and Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Reports. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/18/us/politics/jimmy-carter-october-surprise-iran-hostages.html https://warontherocks.com/2023/04/be-skeptical-of-reagans-october-surprise/ https://thedispatch.com/article/smears-and-myths-the-october-surprise-revisited/ https://newrepublic.com/article/172324/its-settled-reagan-campaign-delayed-release-iranian-hostages https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Shadows-Chennault-Watergate-Presidency/dp/0813937833 https://www.justice.gov/archives/sco/file/1373816/download https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/report_volume5.pdf Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host Heather Digby Parton, contributing writer at Salon.com and proprietor of the blog Hullabaloo, to round up the week in news. Then, Sam and Emma are joined by Matthew Film Guy! Emma and Sam first dive into the Uvalde Police's ever-changing story, the White House's upcoming, likely-to-fail gun control package, and the GOP striking down a domestic terror bill, before watching Texas Lt. Chris Olivarez excuse Uvalde police's inaction as believing they had “contained” the shooter… inside of a childrens' classroom. Digby then joins as she and Sam reflect on two decades of covering these senselessly devastating instances of gun violence against children, from Wayne LaPierre asking the government to pry his gun from his “cold dead hands” in the wake of Columbine, to the tentative moments after Sandy Hook, where it seemed as though politicians would come around to reform, only for the NRA to disseminate all of the necessary talking points in a complete rejection of progress. This brings Emma, Sam, and Heather to a discussion on the collapse of the NRA in recent years, held up in court over embezzlement charges, yet with the Republican base more than picking up their torch and centering fundamentalist takes on gun ownership in electoral pushes. After briefly touching on the failure of Democrats in the wake of these mass shootings, reaching all the way back to their blame of Al Gore's gun control stance in 2000, Sam, Emma, and Digby return to the devastation in Uvalde as they tackle how a fully-militarized police department, as we have throughout the US, finds it reasonable to leave a mass shooter in a school filled with children due to fears for THEIR OWN (the cops') safety, as the Uvalde Police now claim they believed there to be no more living children in the classroom, despite the multiple incoming 911 calls FROM LIVING CHILDREN, clamoring from one lie to another as federal inaction from the democrats is the only repercussion that looms. Then, Matthew Film Guy joins as they discuss the central importance of art in creating the worlds we imagine for our futures, and in challenging and disrupting the status quo of our present, as Sam, Emma, and he give their takes on the importance of John Cassavetes and Mad Men, and Matthew rounds out the interview with his recommendations of Andrey Zvyagintsev's “Loveless” and John Gianvito's “Profit Motive and the Whispering Wind.” And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma look to the GOP's stale response to mass shootings, as Kevin McCarthy pushes the “mental health” talking point, while refusing to address or help mental health, and Lauren Boebert cites 9/11 to ask “why ban guns when we didn't ban planes,” despite the countless massive (and problematic) regulations that DID arise in the wake of the terror attack. They also get into Biden sending out previews for a $10k student debt cancellation (for certain people only, of course), and Dave Rubin, the last liberal, now identifies as a Republican, plus, your IMs!
