Mamdani just sued the Trump administration over green cards and welfare — and he said people could die if the rule stands. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, with Letitia James and a stack of blue-city mayors, is in federal court to block the public charge rule. Starting now, immigration officers can weigh SNAP, Medicaid, and other benefits when deciding who gets a green card. The administration's point is simple and old: People coming here should be able to support themselves. Mamdani's point is the opposite. He says up to four million people could unenroll from health coverage — including 1.8 million children — and that premature deaths in New York immigrant communities could jump. He called the rule vague, cruel, and a century of law thrown out.

In his first year atop the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth rebranded himself as a secretary of war, not defense. And the changes didn't stop there. Under his leadership, the department has announced that all “warfighters” 30 and older will be tested for testosterone deficiency, and that they would be judged on their appearance and grooming. But possibly the most profound change has been a shake-up in the highest ranks of the armed forces. Top officers—especially in the Army—have been stymied, pushed out or fired. Michael Gordon and Lara Seligman join host Alex Ossola to discuss Hegseth's approach, as well as the possible consequences of fast turnover in the highest echelons of the world's most powerful military.

Thom Tillis was the pivotal vote to confirm a buffoon to run the Department of Defense, and now he's shocked about Hegseth's incompetency. JD wants everyone to know he's a Catholic now, but he doesn't seem to have absorbed even the basic teachings of Catholicism. And Susan Collins claims she has influence with her Senate colleagues over Trump's agenda—even though on almost every occasion she has made sure that her vote won't matter. Meanwhile, Trump did a coup in Venezuela with an associate of Jeffrey Epstein.

On Episode 171 of The Alan Sanders Show, Alan contrasts myths versus reality across several topics. Sen. Thom Tillis argues the AWOL Lloyd Austin was better for the military than Pete Hegseth, while CBS treats the loss of 20 generals, admirals and civilian defense leaders (about 3%) as a Pentagon crisis. The Democrats say they want to help, yet their voting record puts Americans last in order to damage President Trump. We also look at why the country is finally waking up from the myth that the United States no longer needs manufacturing. He compares how the book was thrown at Karyann Parkinson for letting her 5-year-old walk a half-mile inside a gated, guarded community, with the restraint and sympathy we are seeing for Lindsay Clancy after she murdered her three children. The show closes on Ryan Reynolds calling the 1980s traumatizing and why Gen X remembers a tougher, freer and better decade.

From there Hawk lays out the political reality. Even with 52 or 53 Senate seats, Democrats would be far short of the Republican votes needed for conviction, and a Republican-controlled Senate might decline to hold a trial at all. He notes how Mitch McConnell pointed to the courts after January 6th, and how impeachments historically boost a president's poll numbers, as they did for Bill Clinton and for Trump twice before. Weighing it out, Hawk points to an open 2028 White House, a Senate GOP already tired of Trump after the primary losses of John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy, and Thom Tillis, and his own mixed feelings. He explains why he leans toward moving on rather than grinding Congress to a halt, while acknowledging the constitutional argument for using the remedy the founders provided.

This week, we're presenting an episode of Critical Capital, a new podcast from Crux and Latitude Studios. Energy policy has become increasingly polarized just as the U.S. faces record electricity demand, a rapidly expanding AI economy, and growing competition from China. In this episode, Alfred Johnson speaks with North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis about why the country's biggest energy challenge is the inability to build durable, bipartisan policy that survives changes in political leadership. Drawing on more than a decade in the Senate, Tillis argues for an "all-of-the-above" energy strategy that embraces renewables, natural gas, nuclear, and other generation sources rather than treating them as competing ideologies. He discusses the economic consequences of abruptly cancelling energy projects, the need for stable investment signals, and why rising electricity demand requires policymakers to focus on practical solutions instead of partisan rhetoric. Tillis also discusses domestic manufacturing, critical minerals, AI governance, and the importance of strengthening America's energy supply chains while remaining globally competitive.

OA1285 - This week on Rapid Response Friday: regulators, mount up! We take a closer look at the actual documents provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee by Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche which convinced John Cornyn and Thom Tillis to change their votes, how deregulation caused a national cyclospora outbreak (and the legal response to it), and state efforts to stop the “prediction market” racket which the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has been all too happy to ignore. And in today's footnote: three very different cases which prove why prediction markets shouldn't be a thing at all.

Sens. Thom Tillis and John Cornyn faced sharp criticism for supporting Todd Blanche's nomination after Epstein survivors urged them to oppose it. Both senators had publicly raised concerns about Blanche and used their positions on the Senate Judiciary Committee to delay the nomination and seek concessions. Tillis had also said Blanche needed to meet with survivors before receiving his support. After that meeting took place, however, the survivors reportedly remained opposed to the nomination, and both senators ultimately voted to advance Blanche. Critics argued that the senators treated the meeting as a procedural requirement rather than allowing the survivors' concerns to meaningfully influence their decisions.The episode was portrayed as part of a broader pattern in the Epstein case in which survivors were invited to speak but were disregarded when their demands conflicted with political or institutional interests. Tillis and Cornyn possessed enough leverage to block or further delay the nomination, but instead accepted assurances from Blanche and returned to the Republican position. Their critics said the decision undermined the senators' claims that they were demanding accountability and reinforced the perception that survivor testimony carried less weight than party loyalty and political convenience. The central criticism was that both men presented themselves as willing to challenge Blanche, but abandoned that stance once they were given sufficient political cover to support him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general advancing through the Senate Judiciary Committee after he eliminated a controversial $1.8 billion Justice Department "Anti-Weaponization Fund" to appease Republicans John Cornyn and Thom Tillis; Washington Governor Jay Inslee blaming climate change for devastating Spokane-area wildfires before authorities arrested Aaron Farinacci, a convicted killer allegedly found near the ignition point with waterproof matches and a butane lighter, for first-degree arson; and University of Sussex psychologist Gillian Sandstrom explaining how small talk with strangers can improve mental health, strengthen social trust, and combat growing isolation; and much more. #RubinReport #ToddBlanche #attorneygeneral #wildfire #smalltalk #daverubin
Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com
The first ticket on Mary and Andrew's agenda: the latest on Todd Blanche's confirmation. After prodding from two Republican Senators, Blanche released a Sunday night statement allegedly rescinding the $1.776 “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to pacify their concerns. And by all measures, it worked. But in Andrew's estimation, the statement was “the world's smallest fig leaf,” with both hosts noting that the “settlement agreement” can only be changed in writing if signed by both parties. Mary calls it “basically a press statement” rather than a legal order. Then, they turn to former FBI Director James Comey's filing of multiple motions to dismiss his “Seashell” indictment, including one on the grounds of vindictive and selective prosecution. They detail court filings that show an array of issues with the case, including surveillance of him and his wife by the Secret Service. Next, Andrew and Mary detail why Jeanine Pirro's Reflecting Pool case against Olympian David Hearn fell apart, after a disastrous rush to charge before the facts were in. And last up: Trump asks the Supreme Court to hear an appeal over E. Jean Caroll's $83.3 million defamation verdict.

Republicans are moving Todd Blanche one step closer to becoming the next Attorney General after key GOP holdouts backed a deal that allowed his nomination to advance. We'll break down what changed, why Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis reversed course, and whether Blanche now has the votes to officially take the job. We'll also examine what his confirmation could mean for the Justice Department moving forward. Then, new questions swirl around Donald Trump's financial dealings after reports surrounding his removal as a Capital One customer have fueled allegations of possible money laundering. We'll separate what's confirmed from what's still being alleged and explain why critics say the controversy deserves closer scrutiny. Finally, tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate as Iran launches another attack on a U.S. military base, raising fears that the conflict is entering another dangerous phase. We'll cover what happened, the latest response from Washington, and what this could mean for American troops and the broader region. Join us live for the latest political news, sharp analysis, and the stories everyone will be talking about.
Hawk reiterates his contract-law argument from his prior videos. The two documents Blanche released to satisfy John Cornyn and Thom Tillis do not modify the underlying settlement, because its own terms require any change to be signed by all parties, and one document is unsigned while the other carries only Blanche's signature. In Hawk's reading, Trump could still sue to reestablish the roughly 1.78 billion dollar fund after confirmation. He then answers Tillis's both-sides framing directly, pointing to Trump's 34 felony convictions, the civil fraud judgment, the Carroll verdict, the second Comey indictment, the attempted prosecutions of Letitia James and others, and the dismissed reflecting pool case. Hawk argues the record shows a Justice Department being reshaped to target the president's opponents, and he is candid about his alarm at what a confirmed Blanche means.

Donald Trump unleashed an epic tirade at Senator John Cornyn for blocking his IRS lawsuit settlement slush fund, which would let Trump reward allies and grants the Trumps a form of tax immunity. Cornyn is holding up the nomination of Todd Blanche as attorney general until it's killed. Trump gloated that he'd endorsed Cornyn's victorious primary opponent and seethed that the American people want him to have this corrupt fund. In response, another foe, Senator Thom Tillis, landed a hard blow, asserting that Trump's rage over the fund is exactly why it must be killed. Humiliatingly, Tillis treated Trump like a toddler who must be told, “no.” Plus, a defeat would show that Trump's license to corrupt DOJ is not limitless. (Underscoring this humiliation, after we recorded Trump petulantly exploded again, saying he absolutely will have his fund.) We talked to New Republic staff writer Emma Janssen, author of our great new politics newsletter all about Democrats, The TNR Blue Book, which you should subscribe to, folks! We discuss her installment on how Dems are exploiting these splits, the deeper reasons for them, and how they reveal Trump's diminishing power more broadly. Learn more about your ad choices.

Thousands of migrants just flooded into the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco in a scene of absolute chaos, and local officials are begging for a national emergency. The border fences totally collapsed as hordes of people, mainly Moroccans, smashed through gates, swam across with inflatable tubes, and poured into the tiny North African enclave. Civil guard officers described the situation as “absolute chaos,” with thousands crossing and at least three people dying in the attempt. Residents locked themselves inside as shops and restaurants shuttered. Spain is now deploying military units, diving teams, and vessels while the interior minister heads to Ceuta. Morocco used tear gas and water cannons, but the surge still overwhelmed both sides. This isn't new — a similar mass rush hit in 2021 — and the White House is pointing straight at Europe's far-left globalist policies that enabled it. Regular Americans watching this know exactly what open-border experiments look like when the numbers get real. Mass migration pressure, failed European border security, and the consequences of ignoring the warnings are all on full display.

It's Friday, July 31st, 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 Syrians in America have to leave the country The expiration of Temporary Protected Status for Syrians in America this week has renewed attention on the fragile security environment facing civilians in Syria, particularly Christians who remain vulnerable 18 months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship in this 87% Muslim country, reports International Christian Concern. Temporary Protected Status is a humanitarian immigration designation that allows nationals of countries experiencing armed conflict to remain and work legally in the United States for a limited period. The designation does not provide a pathway to permanent residency but shields recipients from deportation while conditions in their home country are deemed unsafe for return. In December 2024, rebel forces, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, forced al-Assad from power. Al-Sharaa's group had previously been associated with Muslim jihadist movements, including al-Qaeda. Before the Syrian civil war, Christians represented a significant minority of Syria's population concentrated in Damascus — where the Apostle Paul was converted on the street. While Christians have not experienced the same level of targeted mass violence as other groups, there has been harassment and attacks on Christian communities. President Trump floats temporarily pulling Blache nomination to be AG President Donald Trump said on July 30 that he was willing to temporarily withdraw his nomination of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General until next year, if two Republican senators continued to withhold their support, reports The Epoch Times. Blanche's nomination has been held up in the Senate Judiciary Committee after Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina said they would not back bringing it to the floor for a full vote. Those two votes are necessary for the nomination to advance. Earlier this year, both Cornyn and Tillis lost their bid for re-election after President Trump endorsed their opponents during the primaries. The president now intends to wait them out. In the meantime, Blanche will remain the acting head of the Department of Justice. You can express your objection to the senators for dragging their feet by calling Senator John Cornyn at 202-224-2934 and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina at 202-224-6342. You can call 24 hours a day/7 days a week and leave a voicemail. Dr. Fauci invoked Fifth Amendment 90 times in GOP-led committee In a hearing of the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on July 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced in his opening statement that he would invoke the Fifth Amendment and not answer any questions about his culpability in a cover-up about the source of the COVID-19 virus or what happened subsequently. Listen. FAUCI: “Members of the committee, I served at the NIH for over 54 years, 38 of those as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Over that period, I proved that I believe in and respect the value of legitimate congressional oversight. In fact, I testified before and/or briefed Senate and House committees well over 200 times over those 38 years. During and after the COVID pandemic, I have appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House, usually under oath, and sat for several days-long, transcribed, sworn interviews answering questions about the very issues that are now the subject of this hearing. “However, given Senator [Rand] Paul's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars'. “Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion. Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, to refrain from answering your questions.” Over the course of his time in front of the Senate Committee, Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a whopping 111 times, reports Fox News. Dr. Fauci stonewalled Senator Rand Paul numerous times Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly stonewalled Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The senator started with asking about former President Joe Biden's bizarre “full and unconditional” pardon of Dr. Fauci. PAUL: “As a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President, have you refused this pardon? Or do you have any reason to believe this full and unconditional pardon, this grant of immunity, would somehow require you to plead the Fifth Amendment?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL: “Based on the facts presented, I'm going to direct you to answer the questions. The committee has issued a valid subpoena. They have requested your presence here. The questions are very pertinent to your decision making as head of [the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases], as well as a chief advisor to the president, do you still refuse to answer the questions?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL: “Were you ever made aware of gain-of-function research on monkeypox being conducted at the National Bio Defense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, and back at Fort Detrick, [the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969]?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL: “Dr. Fauci, did the CIA ever transfer funds to [the National Institutes of Health] under interagency agreement?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” And Senator Rand Paul took this parting shot. PAUL: “The chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer, but you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon. The committee will have to consider after this hearing what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so. “It's against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today.” Watchdog group: Medical groups should condemn transgender surgeries on minors The medical watchdog group, Do No Harm, is calling on 10 major medical associations to explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors, reports The Daily Signal. On July 29th, Do No Harm sent open letters to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association among others. In the letter, the group wrote, “Do No Harm, and its 54,000 members, are calling on your society to publicly reject genital surgery on minors for the purpose of producing [so-called] ‘gender transitions.' While this process is uncommon, we believe that it should never occur.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Have you not read that [God], who created them from the beginning, made them male and female?” Marijuana should not be reclassified as a less dangerous drug Marijuana could be reclassified as a less dangerous substance under federal law. Kevin Sabet, CEO of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and the former drug policy advisor for the Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama presidential administrations as well as President Trump's former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, thinks that would be a terrible idea. He said that reclassifying marijuana as a drug with accepted medical use and a lower risk of abuse than drugs subject to greater controls would be reckless. Sabet added, “The evidence presented at the hearing confirmed what decades of data have shown: Raw marijuana has no scientifically established medical value and carries a high risk of abuse. Today's marijuana is more dangerous than ever before. [Reclassifying] marijuana would create the false impression that it is safe, would reduce penalties for peddling the drug illegally and would give those who purvey it legally a huge tax windfall. That would be a disaster.” The Department of Justice held a hearing last month to consider it at President Donald Trump's request. Despite the fact that President Trump is a teetotaler who eschews alcohol and drugs, he told his administration last December to push forward on easing marijuana restrictions, after an aggressive lobbying push by advocates including a cannabis CEO, a Florida sheriff, and a Mar-a-Lago member, the Wall Street Journal previously reported. Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, previously wrote, “Use of cannabis increases a person's chance of developing a bipolar disorder or schizophrenia by an average of 47%. It's also shown to significantly increase hallucinations and paranoia. “In fact, it's been determined that regular use of medical marijuana leads to a higher chance of heart attack, stroke and coronary artery disease. … If the established goal is to make America healthy and great again, this objective will not be reached by increasing access to poisonous pot.” In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the Apostle Paul asked, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” Montana listeners like our brevity and updates on the persecuted Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes, Winston and Heather Royal in Helena, Montana, wrote, “Adam, we appreciate the newscast because it's short, to the point, and from a Christian perspective. We appreciate hearing about our Christian brothers and sisters around the world. And we often listen to it at breakfast time. Thank you for your work!” Texas listener values boldness and truthfulness of The Worldview And Byron Barlowe in Plano, Texas wrote, “Adam, your newscast is something I've evangelized about for four reasons. I find the integration of a Biblical worldview into reporting the news to be effective and refreshing. Brevity matters more than ever. I also relate to the brevity of your newscast since Probe Ministries, a group I write for, produces a 3-minute daily feature. The candor among you and the two other writers of The Worldview is bold, truthful, and necessary. For example, I appreciate your reference to homosexual faux marriage instead of so-called ‘gay marriage.' Spade-calling is truth-telling and, when done in a gracious spirit led by the Spirit of God, can have good effect. You have a golden radio voice that emanates masculinity without undue forcefulness. Both women and men need that in the era of so-called ‘toxic masculinity' and the feminized Church which follows a confused culture. I just like it, too.” Byron, thanks for your encouragement as we use the instruments of our laptops and voice to communicate. 23 Worldview listeners gave $13,150.04 And finally, by Thursday night at 9:00pm Central, 23 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year. Our thanks to Jerry in Angie, Louisiana and Thomas in Spartanburg, South Carolina – both of whom gave $25 as well as David in Wilmington, Ohio and Lori in Rockford, Illinois – both of whom gave $50. We appreciate Tony and Jennie in Palmdale, California who gave $80.04, Samuel in Greensboro, North Carolina who gave $90, and Jeanne in Thomasville, North Carolina and Ron in Orange Park, Florida – both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Jody in Westerlo, New York and Kevin and Shelly in Columbus, Nebraska – both of whom gave $200, Glenn and Linda in Palmdale, California who gave $240, Marlowe in Freetown, Prince Edward Isalnd, Canada who gave $250, Kelly in Rio Rancho, New Mexico who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, and Vanessa in Templeton, California and Nicki in Carthage, Missouri – both of whom pledged $35/month for 12 months for a gift of $420. We were touched by the generosity of Serge in Simpsonville, South Carolina who gave $500, Charles and Pamela in Sierra Madre, California who gave $500, Sean in Burlington, Wisconsin who gave $500, and Francesca in Rockaway Township, New Jersey who also gave $500. All four of them were matched by our friend in Naples, Florida who gave another $2,000. And we were blown away by Frederick in Gainesville, Florida who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Jeff in Sevierville, Tennessee who gave $1,000, and Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas who gave $5,000. Wow! Those 23 gifts add up to $13,150.04. That's the largest total amount in a single day throughout this July 2026 fundraiser. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $94,270 (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $29,230 by midnight tonight, July 31st! That means in order to hit our final goal of $123,500 by midnight tonight, Friday, July 31st, God needs to prompt folks to give an astounding $29,230 in order for the 6-member Worldview newscast team to be fully funded for another year. So, as I've said over the last several days, if you have been waiting until the last minute, this … is … it! We could really use your help. The finish line is upon us. Perhaps in our national audience, there are three others, just like Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas, who feel led by God to give a one-time gift of $5,000. If that $15,000 comes in, we would need just 15 people to either give a one-time gift of $1,000 or make a monthly pledge of $83.33 for 12 months which adds up to $1,000. If all of that is way out of your budget, just give what you can. $10. $20. $30. Every dollar gets us closer. Now, if you can't give a dime, then pray. Pray that God would stir the hearts of those who can give! Just go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish.

Kander also dives into Trump's expanding immigration crackdown, as ICE ramps up airport arrests and new data-sharing agreements spark fears over civil liberties and government surveillance. Plus, he discusses Republicans' renewed attacks on Dr. Anthony Fauci and whether Trump is escalating the fight to satisfy his most extreme supporters.

Today's Headlines: Congress was quite busy. Rand Paul turned the Senate into a personal vendetta circus, dragging Anthony Fauci in for a hearing where he pleaded the Fifth almost 100 times — because the entire point was to find something to criminally prosecute him for despite Biden's preemptive pardon — and Paul is now threatening to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress for asserting his constitutional right. Todd Blanche's attorney general confirmation vote was cancelled because Thom Tillis and John Cornyn want the bare minimum assurance that he won't create Trump's insurrectionist slush fund or give Trump permanent IRS immunity — things Blanche won't promise — though both senators still ultimately want to vote for him, so there really is no point to this. Jay Clayton, who has zero intelligence or national security experience, was confirmed as Director of National Intelligence anyway, because experience is optional now. On the war beat, Iran launched a ballistic missile strike on a US base in Jordan, Trump told Fox News the US would "beat the fucking shit out of them," the US and Saudi Arabia jointly struck Iranian-aligned militants in Iraq, and then Iranian drones set two ships on fire in an Egyptian port in what Iranian sources called a demonstration that "global shipping and energy supplies could be more deeply disrupted." Trump called it "more of the same" and said "it's our turn to hit them," he must think war works like the game Battleship. In election interference news, Elon Musk is reviving his America PAC for the midterms after spending $250 million to elect Trump in 2024, with plans for door-knocking, digital ads, and direct mail — and has reportedly been talking to Trump's team about how he can be most helpful. And finally, The Federal Reserve voted 9-3 to keep interest rates between 3.5 and 3.75%, with the three dissenting votes wanting a rate increase due to persistent inflation, which is not the news anyone wanted.

John discusses the Senate Judiciary Committee postponing its scheduled vote to advance Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General. The delay occurred because Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina refused to commit to voting for Blanche and are demanding written assurances regarding a controversial Department of Justice settlement of a lawsuit Trump filed against the IRS. Trump responded by threatening to temporarily withdraw the nomination until January when both of them are out of congress. Then, John interviews Dr. Erin Stevens, an OB-GYN with the Committee to Protect Healthcare. She sheds light on the recent court ruling regarding mifepristone, emphasizing the importance of science in reproductive health care amidst the ongoing political battle over abortion access. Next, he welcomes back legal analyst and consultant Dr. Tracy Pearson for a discussion on the implications of Todd Blanche's nomination and the ongoing political theatrics surrounding Trump. They dissect the questionable fitness of Blanche for the role of Attorney General, exploring the conflicts of interest and the peculiar dynamics of a Senate that seems to operate under the shadow of Trump's influence. Tracy shares her insights on the motivations behind the actions of Senators Cornyn and Tillis, and whether their apparent courage is genuine or simply a product of political convenience. And then finally, John is joined by the extraordinary explorer and retired naval officer Victor Vescovo, who shares his remarkable experiences navigating the most extreme environments on Earth. From climbing the highest mountains to skiing at the poles and even traveling into space, Vescovo's adventures have taken him to places few have ever seen. He discusses the profound psychological shift known as the "interview effect," which he explores in his latest essay, emphasizing how descending into the ocean can alter our perspective on the planet and ourselves. John and Victor delve into the contrasts between the overview effect experienced in space and the enveloping nature of the deep ocean, highlighting the fragility of Earth and the need for greater environmental awareness. They also touch on the sobering reality of human pollution in the ocean, the emotional weight of exploring shipwrecks, and the importance of personal connection to nature in fostering conservation efforts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Vy Le and Jessi Brooks trace an AI agent's sandbox escape back to crypto's own fight over open code.

Instead it found a way out, went to Hugging Face, and took the answer. Jessi Brooks argues that episode, Moonshot's open-weight Kimi K3 release, and Apple's trade secrets suit against OpenAI all rhyme with a fight crypto has been having for years: punish the conduct, not the code. Vy Le pushes back on whether open source can be both the disease and the cure. Then Salman Banaei, General Counsel of Plume and a former SEC and CFTC attorney, joins to map where the Clarity Act's ethics language stands with Ruben Gallego, Thom Tillis, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Adam Schiff, and whether ten Democratic votes exist for cloture. The conversation covers the open-weights export fight, Apple's case against OpenAI, Hester Peirce's new statement on DeFi vaults and onchain lending, and why a new FATF report makes control, not decentralization, the test that matters.

The illusion of election integrity is shattering right in front of our eyes, and today, Joe is exposing the elite rot behind it. Joe's breaking down the explosive war of words in New Jersey, where the DMV's identity vendor is firing back at Governor Mikie Sherrill, revealing that it was the state's own Division of Elections that registered 6,600 non-citizens to vote—and wait until you hear the staggering new figures coming out of Homeland Security. From activists barging into Senate Leader John Thune's office to demand the passage of the SAVE Act to establishment politicians like Thom Tillis dodging accountability, Joe will show you how the political class is actively sabotaging voter ID and clean voter rolls.Later in the hour, cybersecurity and election integrity expert Mark Cook joins me to lay out why our entire existing election infrastructure is irredeemably compromised. We'll unpack high-stakes fallout from Capitol Hill, including Bill Barr's furious reaction to President Trump's election security address and Senator Rand Paul's warning about a hidden "Deep State within the Deep State." Plus, Joe calls out mainstream media anchors like CNN's Abby Phillip who are actually trying to rationalize illegal voter registrations—proving that this system isn't just flawed, it's broken by design.To wrap things up, Joe dives into the international implications of Trump's stance on foreign interference, complete with General Michael Flynn's unvarnished response. And because we all need a break from the maddening news cycle, Joe will leave you with a hilarious clip highlighting the utter absurdity of modern culture. Buckle up, hit that share button, and get ready for a hard-hitting show as we confront the traitors in our system and fight for the American voice!
Allison sits down with Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who attended the meeting with Todd Blanche to satisfy Senator Thom Tillis' request. Blanche refused to take responsibility, refused to open a probe into institutional failures, invoked privilege, and condescended to the attendees.

I traveled to D.C. to meet with Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito, who launched a nationwide crackdown on H-1B fraud. I also asked RINOs in D.C. about their refusal to pass the SAVE America Act and if it had anything to do with the fact that they receive money from the illegal labor lobbies. Needless to say, Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) wasn't happy about it. Democrats have their new “Maryland father,” as the Left is once again simping for illegal aliens. This time it's Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an illegal alien who was shot after allegedly trying to run ICE agents over with his car. It turns out that autopens are getting so advanced these days that apparently they can write entire books. That's right — Joe Biden has a book releasing in November. ► Watch my latest video “I Confronted the RINOs Who Voted Against The SAVE America Act”: https://youtu.be/82GZ9rAWhKE ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 Sponsor: ► Patriot Mobile Go to https://www.PatriotMobile.com/SARA or call 972-PATRIOT.

Trump just put Iran on notice again. The U.S. military has launched a new wave of strikes today, and Trump is warning that power plants and bridges could be knocked out next week unless the regime makes a deal. Iran has spent years testing American resolve by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz and backing attacks on our allies and shipping lanes. Weakness and endless talks only encouraged more aggression. Now we're seeing real pressure in action — nightly airstrikes, a naval blockade, and a clear ultimatum on critical infrastructure. Trump's strategy is straightforward: degrade Iran's military capabilities first, then hold the country's power grid and bridges at risk to force negotiations from strength. This isn't about regime change or sending in ground troops. It's about protecting the free flow of commerce and showing adversaries that America means business when our core interests are threatened.
