Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the Democrats' hilariously bad messaging on the government shutdown, China's chilling fusion of AI and genetic engineering, and Jon Stewart's absurd comparison of Zohran Mamdani to Jackie Robinson.First, they marvel at how Democrats proudly admit to causing real pain for Americans in an attempt to gain political leverage in the shutdown fight. It's a cold, heartless message but Democrats are more than welcome to keep using it.Next, Jim shares insights from Bill Drexel of the Hudson Institute, who joined Jim on the recent trip to India. Drexel reports that China is combining artificial intelligence with genetic engineering in pursuit of future generations with no flaws and who will be superior soldiers. Jim also explains how the ethical nightmare surrounding this plan won't even matter to Xi Xinping and the Chinese Communist Party.Finally, they roll their eyes as Jon Stewart of The Daily Show fawns over Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani and compares him to legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson.

The political segment also highlights the FBI foiling a plot to assassinate AG Pam Bondi, with the suspect being tied to violent rhetoric and having a history of felony stalking and domestic battery in Minnesota and Florida.   Finally, the show honors Fargo Police Officer Elliot Dugan for the Luther Family Ford Salute to Law Enforcement.

MIKE STEELY AND PARKER THUNE HAVE A SPIRITED DISCUSSION WITH THE KNIPPELMIER TEXT LINE ABOUT REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS FOR OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL

MIKE STEELY AND PARKER THUNE DISCUSS OKLAHOMA'S LOSS TO OLE MISS AND BRENT VENABLES' JOB SECURITY MOVING FORWARD

A weary King Kull gazes into the forbidden mirrors of Tuzun Thune, seeking wisdom beyond mortal grasp. But in those shifting reflections lies a peril far greater than any enemy he's ever faced. The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune by Robert E. Howard. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Quick heads-up: our brand-new Lost Sci-Fi Weekly newsletter launches this Monday, October 27. Tap the link in the description or visit LostSciFi.com to get it first.Newsletter - https://lostscifi.com/freeBefore there was Conan, there was King Kull—a brooding, introspective warrior-king from the ancient, drowned kingdom of Valusia. Created by Robert E. Howard, Kull first appeared in The Shadow Kingdom in 1929, one of the earliest true “sword and sorcery” tales.Howard wrote only a handful of complete Kull stories, but they stand among his most thoughtful and dreamlike works. The best known are The Shadow Kingdom, Kings of the Night, and today's story, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune—a haunting story about the peril of looking too deeply into one's own reflection.You might remember the 1997 movie Kull the Conqueror — starring Kevin Sorbo (of Hercules fame) — which is the only movie explicitly featuring Kull. It was supposed to be a Conan the Barbarian sequel but was reworked into a Kull story when rights issues arose.We will find our story on page 367 in Weird Tales magazine in September 1929, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune by Robert E. Howard…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A proud young exile meets a storm-working dwarf on a desolate Genoa shore — and in a single Faust-like bargain barters more than he understands.

You were meant to live a life of ethical beauty. Jesus shows us how.How should I live? It's one of the most important questions in life. Every human being is a moral creature; the problem is that we don't all agree on morality. But what if there was an objective moral standard that's true in all times and places? That's exactly what Scripture gives us - and it's exactly what our conscience needs. In this sermon, we explore how faith in Jesus makes it possible to live a life of ethical beauty.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history. The Gospel of Matthew gives us a firsthand look at the life and teachings of Jesus. It stands as a “bridge” between the Old and New Testaments, grounding us in the rich story of Israel while revealing the in-breaking reality of the kingdom of heaven. Through this preaching series, we seek to help people encounter the gospel of the kingdom and embody it as flourishing disciples who live under the gracious rule of God.

Like Putin, Donald Trump is determined to hide from the people. He's promising that a taxpayer-funded FBI–run by MAGA troll Kash Patel–will “secure” the next election. The MAGA cult plans to steal it, again. And with Republican gerrymandering, bot farms from Russia to China, and Elon Musk's Twitter turned into a disinformation landfill, he just might pull it off. Again.  Causing one of the longest government shutdowns in American history – again – Trump gives Argentina a $40 billion bailout. Why Argentina? It's where a lot of Nazis fled after World War II, and maybe where the Trumps plan to flee after Americans end their crime spree. It's a bold strategy: betray your own farmers to curry favor with your future Nazi refuge.  Meanwhile, the convicted felon-in-chief is busy literally demolishing the White House. The East Wing is being gutted to make space for what amounts to a kleptocratic ballroom: a pay-to-play shrine for oligarchs and hangers-on. Melania already desecrated Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden, turning it into a cement Panera Bread patio. It's as if the Trumps are trying to erase everything beautiful about American democracy and replace it with a bedazzled monument to authoritarianism, to repay their Russian backers driven to win a Cold War rematch.

Ryan has the latest on the government shutdown, as Sen. Thune says there will be a measure introduced to pay essential government workers, forcing Democrats to take action. It still won't address the healthcare subsidies issue or affect "reopening" the government though. Meanwhile, White House renovations continue as the Trump Ballroom construction project moves forward - to much criticism.

MIKE STEELY AND PARKER THUNE DISCUSS THE SOONERS' CONVINCING WIN OVER SOUTH CAROLINA, STEELY BREAKS OUT A RANDY SAVAGE IMPRESSION AND JESSE CRITTENDEN JOINS

The good life is found on the narrow way. “All men seek happiness.” So said the French philosopher Blaise Pascal. Every human being has a longing for satisfaction, fulfillment, wholeness. What does Jesus have to say about happiness? In this sermon, we explore how Jesus's words in the Sermon on the Mount reveal the path to genuine happiness and flourishing.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history. The Gospel of Matthew gives us a firsthand look at the life and teachings of Jesus. It stands as a “bridge” between the Old and New Testaments, grounding us in the rich story of Israel while revealing the in-breaking reality of the kingdom of heaven.

Trump is once again talking about Vladimir Putin — this time setting up a meeting in Budapest to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. That's according to Trump himself, who said the two agreed on a phone call to meet, and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other U.S. officials would begin prep meetings with their Russian counterparts. No date has been set, but Trump described the call as productive.He also mentioned they'd loop in Zelensky during his upcoming White House visit, which adds another layer of complexity. Earlier in the week, Trump floated sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine as leverage. Whether that was serious or just bluster is up for debate, but the message was clear — he's still playing both sides. One thing he did emphasize on Truth Social was how eager Putin seemed to be about post-war trade. According to Trump, that was the real focus — not the war itself, but what comes next.This is the kind of move that makes sense if you assume Putin is trying to preempt whatever message Zelensky hopes to deliver later this week. It's also a reminder that Trump sees all of this through the lens of dealmaking, not diplomacy. He's playing to his base — the voters who see “getting a deal” as a win, regardless of what's actually in it. But as past attempts have shown, any momentum gained by just talking with Putin tends to evaporate as soon as the bombs keep falling.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Shutdown MathSenate Majority Leader John Thune hinted that the White House might walk back some of its shutdown-related moves if Democrats agree to vote for a continuing resolution. He didn't lay out specifics, but the implication was that things like furloughs or aggressive reduction-in-force orders could be reconsidered. Thune said passing a full-year appropriations package would make more clawbacks unnecessary — but until then, it's unclear what Democrats would get in return.The rumor mill is working overtime — and the story making the rounds is that Democrats will vote for the CR, then hold a vote on Obamacare subsidies separately. Chuck Schumer says that's not the plan, but let's be real: it sounds like a deal in the making. Everyone knows the play here. The question is how quickly the Democrats can make it look like they won.At the end of the day, this is all about messaging. Democrats want to go back to their base and say they got something out of this. And if a CR plus a later vote on subsidies is the path to that — well, they'll probably take it. Everything else is just noise.John Bolton IndictedJohn Bolton's been indicted. Eight counts of transmitting and ten counts of retaining national defense information. This case centers around his handling of classified documents tied to his book, which he apparently shared through personal email and notes. The FBI raided his home, and now it's up to the courts.The Biden administration says politics aren't involved, but Bolton's been a vocal Trump critic, which puts this in awkward territory. It comes on the heels of indictments for James Comey and Letitia James — all of them known Trump opponents. In those cases, the Comey case seems flimsy, while the one against Letitia James has more substance. Meanwhile, the Bolton charges had been floating around since before Trump left office in 2021.Here's where I land: this whole mess reflects the same double standard we've seen for years. People working with classified material always say the same thing — if they did what these folks are accused of, they'd be in jail. There has to be a better way to handle these documents. Until then, we'll keep getting stories like this.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:04 - Interview with Tom Joseph00:22:23 - Russia-Ukraine00:24:43 - Shutdown00:26:21 - John Bolton00:28:26 - Interview with Ryan McBeth01:13:29 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

MIKE STEELY AND PARKER THUNE RECAP THE RESULTS OF STEELY'S COLONOSCOPY

Encore un témoignage poignant cette semaine : Héléna a connu avec son ex-mari le statut - envié et parfois détesté - de "power couple". C'était un peu les Bradgelina de la banlieue Est, tout leur réussissait : beaux enfants, bon business, bons investissements, belle maison... Et puis, la vie a fait son petit travail de sape et un beau jour, tout est parti de travers. Mais comment divorcer d'un entrepreneur ? Quand on travaille pour lui, qu'on a réduit son salaire pour s'occuper de ses enfants et que la boîte qu'on l'a aidé à faire croître est à son nom ? Au coeur de l'intime, au coeur de la thune, on entend beaucoup de choses dans cet épisode, et on en profite pour faire un gros gros point sur le mariage (et sur son grand pote, le divorce ;^). Merci à Héléna pour sa sincérité, et bonne écoute à toustes !Et si ce sujet vous intéresse, vous aimerez aussi ce décryptage sur le coût du divorce par un grand avocat rompu à l'exercice -> à écouter ICIN'oubliez pas de soutenir Thune sur Tipeee pour que l'aventure continue en toute indépendance Hébergé par Acast.

The show starts with a check on the rainy, autumn weather before diving into hard politics. The hosts play clips from Pam Bondi, who details the crime crisis in Chicago—571 homicides last year—and argues that Governor Pritzker should be begging President Trump to help. This discussion leads to the political gridlock in Washington D.C., where Senate Majority Leader John Thune explains that the Schumer Shutdown could be resolved with only five Democrat votes on the clean funding bill. Thune and the hosts criticize the Democrats for playing politics and trying to appease their far-left base ahead of a "No King's Rally." In a thoughtful exchange with financial advisor Brien Krank, the hosts discuss the Trump tariffs, hidden "value-added" taxes in Europe, and the importance of paying down the national debt to prevent American citizens from becoming "slaves." The show also touches on the absurdity of anti-Trump hatred, exemplified by "Is he dead yet?" bracelets handed out at a farmers' market. Standout Moments: Pam Bondi on Hannity details the crime crisis in Chicago, reporting 571 homicides last year, and pointing out that finding 44 missing children in Memphis, thanks to the administration's efforts, makes the cleanup worthwhile. (00:10:04) Bondi says Governor Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson should be "begging Donald Trump to come in" to make the city safe, but they are "apoplectic" over the suggestion due to Trump Derangement Syndrome. (00:10:48) The hosts criticize the hypocrisy of Chicago's "sanctuary city" status, noting that the mayor is forbidding police from working with ICE to get illegal aliens off the streets, even after a released illegal Mexican alien beat a 21-year-old to death. (00:11:46) Senator John Thune on Harris Faulkner explains that Democrats need just five votes to pass the clean funding bill and end the government shutdown, criticizing their leadership for being "intent on pacifying and trying to appease this far-left base." (00:31:37) Financial advisor Brien Krank explains that European countries use a hidden "value-added tax" that's built into the price of goods at every step of the process. (00:24:00) Brien Krank argues that the U.S. should use tariff revenue to pay down the debt, emphasizing that high debt makes individual citizens "slaves." (00:25:21) A listener submits a text revealing that volunteers at a farmers' market in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, were handing out bracelets to kids that read: "Is he dead yet?" in reference to Donald Trump. (00:34:02) Bridgette Readel unveils…

The government shutdown continues, with no significant developments to improve things. Sen. Thune says there can be a separate vote on healthcare subsidies, but it's unlikely to pass in both the Senate and the House. Regardless, it wouldn't happen until the government is "reopened," so for now it's just noise. Meanwhile, current arramgements have been made for military personnel to get paid in full, on time.

MIKE STEELY AND PARKER THUNE DISCUSS OKLAHOMA'S RESOUNDING LOSS TO TEXAS, AS WELL AS STEELY'S UPCOMING COLONOSCOPY

Because the kingdom of heaven is at hand, you should drop everything and follow Jesus.Every human being is a follower of someone or something. At the end of Matthew 4, Jesus announces that the kingdom of heaven is near and calls his first disciples to follow him. In this sermon, we examine what it means to drop everything and follow Jesus in light of the kingdom of heaven.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history. The Gospel of Matthew gives us a firsthand look at the life and teachings of Jesus. It stands as a “bridge” between the Old and New Testaments, grounding us in the rich story of Israel while revealing the in-breaking reality of the kingdom of heaven. Through this preaching series, we seek to help people encounter the gospel of the kingdom and embody it as flourishing disciples who live under the gracious rule of God.

OU-TEXAS TALK, DUMBASS CLIPS OF THE WEEK, AND FAVORITE MONKEYS

It's a Samajority Report Thursday on the Majority Report On today's show: While appearing on a C-SPAN call-in show, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) listens to a military wife caller express her fear and outrage that her medically compromised children will not be able to get their medications unless Congress passes an emergency relief fund to pay servicemembers. In response to the caller, Johnson shifts the blame to Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and claims to have no control over the matter. Only one day before at a joint press conference with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Mike Johnson admits that Congress could and would like to implement emergency funding of military servicemembers only to kowtow to Thune who shuts the idea down - showing that it is not Schumer obstructing military paychecks. New York Daily News journalist and former Majority Report producer, Evan Simko-Bednarski joins the show to discuss paper's hostile union contract negotiations with the private-equity firm, Alden Global Capitol, that purchased the paper in 2021.

MIKE STEELY AND PARKER THUNE DISCUSS OU-TEXAS PAGEANTRY, JOHN MATEER'S THUMB AND THE RED RIVER CASTRATION INCIDENT

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) joined The Guy Benson Show today on the second anniversary of the October 7th massacre in Israel, reflecting on the enduring lessons from that day and the importance of unwavering U.S. support for Israel and why terrorist groups cannot remain in power. Thune also reacted to the stunning revelation that the FBI has been spying on and tracking GOP senators, calling it a dangerous overreach that demands immediate congressional oversight and accountability. Thune also weighed in on the appalling scandal out of Virginia involving Democratic AG candidate Jay Jones, who reportedly sent text messages wishing death upon the state's Speaker of the House. Finally, Thune discussed the ongoing Schumer Shutdown, arguing that Democrats are squarely to blame for refusing to pass a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open.

Because Jesus resisted temptation, you can too.Temptation isn't a religious thing; it's a human thing. Every human being recognizes that there are things they are tempted by. But what's the solution?

As I record this episode, we are on the edge — maybe already over it, by the time you read this — of a government shutdown. And I want to give you a bit of the behind-the-scenes intel I picked up that helps explain how we got here. According to one of my sources on the Hill (a Republican, for the record), the read is that Chuck Schumer is locked in. He's in a “dark place,” unwilling to budge, and if anything's going to change, it'll come from other Democrats. That's been the drumbeat here: Schumer can't blink. If he does, he opens himself up to a leadership challenge. And that's the one thing a Senate leader absolutely cannot do.The Democrats are trying to pitch the shutdown as a way to stand up for healthcare — that's the messaging. But the problem is that if the government shuts down, there are a lot of healthcare extensions and services that begin to expire immediately. I read off a list of them: community health centers, Medicare adjustments, ambulance payment programs, disaster medical systems — the works. The irony is that the parts Democrats hate the most about the Trump administration don't shut down. ICE doesn't go anywhere. Deportations still happen. Those are essential — and Trump's people decide what counts as essential.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The fight, according to Democrats, is over Obamacare subsidies and Medicaid cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill. But those cuts don't even kick in until after the midterms. Meanwhile, essential Democratic priorities lose funding the moment the lights go out. And that's the trap. They're betting that Trump wants to make a deal — that he wants to look like a bipartisan dealmaker. Maybe they believe they can spin this into a win. But let's remember what happened the last time Trump tried that in 2018: he got nothing.If they're hoping for Trump to ride in and rescue them, that's a risky game. The GOP Senate and House leaders — Thune and Johnson — are more than happy to let this ride. Hell, there are people in that party who love a shutdown. It's a stress test for them, a chance to see what happens when the government turns off. And the data doesn't look good for Democrats. A New York Times/Siena poll had just 27% of all respondents — and only a slim plurality of Democrats — supporting the idea of a shutdown if demands aren't met. That's a brutal place to be when you're the one pulling the trigger.So here we are: Schumer boxed in, the party divided, and the shutdown clock striking midnight. Maybe there's a backdoor deal. Maybe Trump throws them a rope. But right now? The only guaranteed outcome is pain.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:41 - Shutdown00:08:42 - Interview with Evan Scrimshaw00:30:33 - Update00:31:21 - Hegseth's Meeting00:34:42 - Schweikert for Gov00:36:09 - NYT Polling on Shutdown00:37:06 - Interview with Evan Scrimshaw (con't)01:15:30 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.
