//The Wire//2300Z November 12, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: FORD CARRIER STRIKE GROUP ARRIVES IN CARIBBEAN. APPLE ROLLS OUT DIGITAL ID. JOBS REPORT FOR OCTOBER NOT PUBLISHED DUE TO GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Caribbean: Overnight the USS GERALD FORD (CVN-78) arrived in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility, and is expected to be in position to carry out operations in theatre within a couple of days.Analyst Comment: Venezuela continues wartime preparations, same as before, with various internal militia and homeland defensive efforts being publicized over the past few weeks. Most of these efforts appear to mostly be just for show, but preparations continue all around nonetheless.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This afternoon the White House stated that a handful of financial reports for the month of October might not be released due to the government shutdown. Press Secretary Leavitt stated that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report and various other jobs reports might not ever be released for last month, due to federal employees not being on the job to gather the data at the time in which it was most valuable (the data needed to make the jobs reports accurate must be gathered in real time throughout the month, and not in retrospect).Analyst Comment: At a time where the White House is facing increased scrutiny, this isn't a great omen since this is extremely important financial data to consider on the general state of the economy. Economic indicators are also a data point to consider even in the world of national defense, to set conditions and expectations on the homefront before a military campaign, for instance. Now, right at the crux of major economic concerns, the data simply isn't available because federal workers stopped doing their jobs during the shutdown. The data probably does exist, but by the time it's compiled and released it will be stale, and we'll be on to the next crisis.USA: This morning Apple announced the release of a Digital ID product, intended to digitize identification documents such as American passport data. The plan involves partnering with the Transportation Security Administration to integrate Digital ID efforts into air travel around the United States.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Apple's efforts are not to create a universal new identification scheme, but rather to digitize identity documents that already exist. TSA in particular has already had their own varying levels of subscription-based identity-check procedures for a while now, so in the grand scheme of things this has been coming for a long time. Of course, any Digital ID effort requires universal acceptance to work. It is not the ability to save an ID on one's phone that is new...it's the widespread adoption in such a short period of time that is the more concerning detail. This, coupled with the note that this is set up within the Apple Wallet ecosystem, has caused even more eyebrow-raising since it's not a huge jump to speculate that this ID scheme will be linked to finances at some point.In this case, Apple announced that this plan is already streamlined to work with TSA for air travel at over 250 airports around the nation. This plan was announced about two weeks ago, so in just that time, we've gone from announcement to implementation to full integration with TSA in ways that haven't really been done before. Individual states are also partnering with Apple to integrate their Driver's Licenses into the app, and 12x states/territories have done so already. As such data security concerns have abounded...while Americans have been watching the developments of a Digital ID system being implemented in the United Kingdom, a very similar system was being worked on here at home. But because it's a private company digitizing already-existing documents, less attention has been placed o

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____When Devene Godau adopted a retired racing greyhound, she thought she was just rescuing a dog. Instead, she found her purpose. What started as an effort to help an anxious greyhound with separation anxiety became a lesson in communication, connection, and compassion. Those lessons didn't just transform her career; they changed how she saw herself.A certified professional dog trainer with ADHD, Devene spent more than 25 years working with everyone from family pets to professional scent detection dogs for the TSA. She learned that dogs, much like humans, thrive when they feel safe, understood, and motivated — not shamed into obedience. Her work with scent detection dogs taught her that behavior isn't about control, it's about clarity. The same applies to people. Now through her platform The Distracted Dog Lover, Devene helps neurodivergent dog owners build stronger bonds with their pets using humor, empathy, and science-based, real-world strategies that actually work.In this conversation, Devene and Tracy talk about why traditional training methods often fail for ADHD owners, what clicker training can teach us about communication, and how dogs mirror our emotions in ways that reveal what we need to work on ourselves. Devene also shares how gamifying training makes it easier to stay consistent, why sniffing literally boosts serotonin and calms a dog's nervous system, and how the best kind of learning happens when you stop aiming for perfection and start enjoying the process.Resources:Website: https://distracteddoglover.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/devene-godau-cpdt-ka-b696a71a0 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/disney_devene Gerty: https://thegerty.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqWlLvwRhiG3tP96j9mICCIcZSa98gj5w1YRsy4jUJxWbZZtk4W Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

Mark Levin Podcast

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the Democrat Party government shutdown is the best evidence why the government should never, for example, take over our healthcare system. It's not controlled by Democrat politicians (senators) abusing the filibuster rule to blackmail the country and do as much damage to the economy as possible to further government control of the economy and leftwing political agendas. Also, the U.S. air traffic control system and TSA should be privatized.  It's unacceptable that our air traffic could come to a halt because air traffic controllers wouldn't show up for work during the shutdown.  Later, the media is ignorant for mischaracterizing the pardoning of 77 people involved in challenging the 2020 election results as an attempt to overturn them. Challenging elections is a longstanding legal right, dating back to John Adams' era, and includes demanding recounts, lobbying state officials like the Secretary of State, and submitting alternative slates of electors to the Archivist of the United States to preserve potential wins. These actions are neither obstructive nor criminal.  Afterward, Rep Chip Roy, who's running for Attorney General of Texas, calls in and explains that Texas is under attack by a network of radical Marxists and Islamists seeking to seize it from America. The nation is rooted in Judeo-Christian principles, the Constitution, and Western civilization, which directly conflict with Sharia law.  He also explains that Democrats are exposing their scheme by admitting Biden's temporary COVID subsidies are essential for Obamacare to function, as even the Washington Post acknowledges it was never affordable.  Finally, Tucker Carlson platformed a guest who downplayed Christian persecution in Nigeria and had previously represented an accused Nigerian figure involved in targeting Christians.

The government shutdown continues, as does the misery for U.S. travelers. At least another 1,600 flights are canceled today, with 2,300 more delays, that's according to Flightaware.com. While some of these issues are weather-related, passengers across the country continue to be inconvenienced as the government shutdown persists. Although some Senate Democrats crossed the aisle late last night to support a tentative plan to fund the government, it remains unclear when TSA agents and air traffic controllers will be paid and when travel will return to normal. The timing couldn't be more critical, as we are almost two weeks away from Thanksgiving and the holiday travel season.

The government shutdown continues, as does the misery for U.S. travelers. At least another 1,600 flights are canceled today, with 2,300 more delays, that's according to Flightaware.com. While some of these issues are weather-related, passengers across the country continue to be inconvenienced as the government shutdown persists. Although some Senate Democrats crossed the aisle late last night to support a tentative plan to fund the government, it remains unclear when TSA agents and air traffic controllers will be paid and when travel will return to normal. The timing couldn't be more critical, as we are almost two weeks away from Thanksgiving and the holiday travel season. Mike Body, Boyd Group International President and Aviation Expert, joins FOX Business' Lydia Hu to discuss the impact the shutdown has already had and the ripple effect travel uncertainty has on the broader economy.

A budget fight in Washington shouldn't decide whether families in New Mexico can buy groceries—but that's exactly where we are. We open with the real-world fallout of the federal shutdown: SNAP delays for roughly 460,000 New Mexicans, TSA slowdowns, and unpaid military members, all tied up in a standoff over temporary ACA subsidies that were created during COVID. We break down how those subsidies work, who actually receives them, why insurers benefit, and what reform could look like if Congress focused on affordability instead of brinkmanship.From there, we wrestle with the Senate's biggest pressure valve: the filibuster. Trump wants it gone to power through a reopening and a faster agenda. Many Republicans balk, warning that killing the 60-vote threshold would turn the Senate into a smaller House and supercharge policy whiplash. We walk through the unintended consequences of past rule changes, the real risk of court packing, and one bold idea to stabilize the system: protect the filibuster with a constitutional amendment so the rules can't swing with every majority.We also talk politics on the ground: why affordability—not vibes—will decide 2026. Voters care about grocery bills, rent, energy, and healthcare, and they won't reward leaders who minimize that pain. We push for a clear cost-of-living plan that's measurable and fast. Then we zoom into Albuquerque, where rising crime has become the central question of the mayor's race. We lay out the data, challenge “not my job” answers on public safety, and argue for accountability over party loyalty.If you're tired of spin and want practical fixes—on budgets, healthcare costs, and public safety—this conversation lays out the stakes and the options. Listen, share with a friend who's feeling the pinch, and tell us where you stand: keep the filibuster or go simple majority? And what's the first, most concrete step to lower costs where you live?

*Senate Committee on Appropriations News Release: November 9, 2025* Washington, D.C. – Senator Susan Collins, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, delivered remarks from the Senator floor ahead of the Senate's 60 to 40 procedural vote to advance legislation she unveiled today containing a clean continuing resolution to reopen government & three full-year Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 appropriations bills. The continuing resolution will reopen government immediately, extend funding through January 30th, & provide back pay to all federal workers. It does not include any poison pills. The measure includes the final FY 2026 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, & Related Agencies; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food & Drug Administration, & Related Agencies; & Legislative Branch appropriations bills. This three-bill package, which originally passed the Senate on August 1st with overwhelming bipartisan support, would make full-year appropriations available for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, & Children (WIC), & the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. “Mr. President, today the Senate Appropriations Committee advanced legislation to reopen government immediately, funding vital programs, & resuming pay for federal workers, who for the last 40 days have had to live with the stress of missed paychecks & not knowing when they would be paid. “Under our legislation, all federal employees, including members of our military & Coast Guard, Capitol Police officers, Border Patrol agents, TSA screeners, air traffic controllers – all will receive their back wages. “It is significant that this measure also includes three full-year Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bills, including the annual Agriculture, FDA bill, the Military Construction & Veterans Affairs legislation – very timely given that Veterans Day will soon be upon us – & the Legislative Branch funding bill. “This three-bill package, which originally passed the Senate on August 1st with overwhelming bipartisan support – 87 votes in two cases & 81 in another – will support our veterans, troops, farmers, & rural communities. Of note, this package will provide full-year funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, & the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, & Children, known as WIC. One of the most unfortunate & shameful consequences of this shutdown has been that these vital nutrition programs were in jeopardy for our most vulnerable families, including 170,000 Mainers who rely on the SNAP program. “Other programs will be funded through January 30th while the Senate & House continue work on the remainder of the year-long appropriations bills. For example, funding for important programs like Head Start & low-income heating assistance will now be restored. “I look forward to voting for this legislation & ending the unnecessary harm to the security of our families & our nation. “We must begin to act tonight. We must not delay any longer. “Finally, Mr. President, I want to thank the many members on both sides of the aisle of the Appropriations Committee & the Senate Leadership who have worked especially hard to bring this package together. & I would be remiss if I did not also thank our staff. My staff missed an entire night's sleep to get this package together & get the job done. “Thank you, Mr. President. Again, I want to particularly thank the members of the Appropriations Committee, including those who serve as the Subcommittee Chairs: Senator Boozman, Senator Hoeven, & Senator Mullin. I want to thank Senator Britt who did an extraordinary amount of work. Lisa Murkowski, Mike Rounds, Jerry Moran, Shelley Moore Capito, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Deb Fischer – there's so many who worked so hard on this package. I want to thank each & every one of them. “Let's get the job done & let's do it fast.”

1. Government Shutdown and FAA Flight Cancellations Cruz and Ferguson argue that Democrats are intentionally prolonging the shutdown for political gain, particularly to hurt Donald Trump. Essential federal workers like TSA agents and air traffic controllers are working without pay, leading to staffing shortages and safety concerns. The FAA has announced a mandatory 10% reduction in air traffic at the 40 largest U.S. airports due to understaffing. This could result in up to 5,000 flight cancellations per day, affecting potentially 500,000 passengers daily. Cruz says Democrats blocked a bill to pay essential workers during the shutdown, including air traffic controllers. 2. Analysis of Election Results The podcast dives into the election of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described socialist/communist, in New York City. Cruz and Ferguson portray Mamdani as emblematic of the radical left’s growing influence in the Democratic Party. They analyze exit poll data and voter demographics, highlighting: Young women (18–29) were the most supportive group, with 81% voting for Mamdani. Educational attainment correlated with support: those with bachelor’s or advanced degrees leaned heavily toward Mamdani. Income brackets between $30,000 and $300,000 favored Mamdani, while the very poor ($300k) leaned toward Cuomo. Religious affiliation showed that Protestants, Catholics, and Jews leaned toward Cuomo, while Muslims and non-religious voters favored Mamdani. LGBTQ+ voters supported Mamdani by 81%, despite the podcast hosts expressing disbelief due to Mamdani’s alleged Islamist sympathies. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Meanwhile, a small bipartisan group in Congress is maybe edging toward a deal to end the weeks-long government shutdown, which has crippled air travel and left millions unsure when they'll receive SNAP benefits. After two court orders, the Trump administration says it'll partially fund food assistance, though payments could still be delayed for weeks. Trump's team is also reportedly drawing up plans for a potential U.S. military mission in Mexico targeting drug cartels (because what could go wrong?). The Department of Homeland Security wants states to hand over driver's license data to help identify noncitizens on voter rolls, sparking privacy alarms. In California, ICE shot a 25-year-old U.S. citizen who'd stopped to warn officers that children would soon arrive nearby — the second ICE shooting there this week. Elsewhere, a watchdog report revealed that most donors to Trump's new ballroom are government contractors who've scored $279 billion in deals despite ongoing investigations for labor and environmental violations. OpenAI just inked a $38 billion deal to rent Amazon's computing power. And rounding out the chaos, Rep. Nancy Mace reportedly went off on TSA agents at a South Carolina airport, she of course claims it's all fake news.

It's NFL trade deadline day, and ITL wonders whether the Texans will make a move or stay put — and what that decision would reveal about how they truly view this season's potential. The Rockets pulled off a tight win last night, but is something still missing? Around the NFL, ITL recaps Monday Night Football, breaks down the latest trade rumors, and takes a closer look at Nick Caserio's tenure as GM. Then, breaking news: the Colts trade for Sauce Gardner! ITL reacts while also questioning why DeMeco Ryans still can't define the Texans' offensive identity in Week 10 — and whether change is actually coming. Lunch-Time Confessions gets wild with Figgy possibly being the reason Sean Pendergast lost the Jim Rome Smackoff, and CFBOAT (College Football on a Tuesday) delivers the latest college chaos. Finally, ITL dives into whether Texans fans should be concerned about C.J. Stroud's concussion situation before Figgy's Mixtape takes over with TSA madness, Oreo's new Thanksgiving cookies, and more off-the-wall stories.

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 Halloween takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Buck's Gentle Nudge Buck Sexton encourages voter turnout ahead of the upcoming off-year elections, spotlighting key races in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City. He emphasizes the importance of civic engagement and early voting, particularly in tight contests like the New Jersey gubernatorial race and the NYC mayoral and city council elections. A major focus of the hour is the ongoing government shutdown, which Buck attributes to Democratic leadership, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. He critiques their handling of negotiations and highlights the impact on federal workers, especially air traffic controllers and TSA agents, citing safety concerns and economic stress. Buck argues that Republicans are pushing for a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government, while Democrats are obstructing progress for political leverage. Healthcare policy also comes under scrutiny, with Buck condemning the legacy of Obamacare and current Democratic efforts to expand subsidies and entitlements. He frames these moves as part of a broader welfare state agenda that burdens taxpayers and prioritizes illegal immigrants, particularly in sanctuary cities like New York. Why Elections Matter Guest Karol Markowicz joins to offer insights on NYC politics and cultural shifts, especially from the perspective of Russian Jewish communities in Brooklyn. She discusses the ideological divide between conservative immigrant populations and progressive enclaves like Park Slope and the Upper West Side. The conversation touches on Jewish voter trends, noting a significant shift away from Democratic candidates in recent elections. Kamala, Are You Serious? Clay’s travel nightmare amid widespread airport chaos caused by the ongoing government shutdown, highlighting how air traffic controller shortages and TSA delays are creating nationwide disruptions. This segues into a sharp critique of Democratic leadership, with Buck questioning whether mounting pressure from unions and airline executives will force Democrats to end the standoff. The conversation then shifts to Kamala Harris’s controversial book tour and her attempts to defend the Biden administration’s handling of President Biden’s cognitive decline. Buck dismantles Harris’s argument that Biden was fit to govern but not to campaign, calling it “absurd” and pointing out the administration’s deception about Biden’s mental state. Harris’s excuses for her crushing 2024 election loss to Donald Trump—including claims of “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and the “Elon Musk factor”—are dissected in detail. Buck argues that Harris’s failure reflects a broader rejection of identity politics and DEI-driven promotions, emphasizing that voters now demand competence over optics. Do You Believe? Buck welcomes Miranda Devine, host of Pod Force One, for an in-depth discussion on her recent interview with Vice President JD Vance. Topics include the administration’s stance on Russia-Ukraine peace prospects, the fallout from Zelensky’s Oval Office clash with Trump, and growing speculation about U.S. military operations in Venezuela—raising questions about whether these strikes target drug cartels or signal regime change. Miranda also shares JD Vance’s candid thoughts on UFOs and spiritual forces, his Catholic faith, and personal anecdotes about President Trump’s work ethic and family-friendly demeanor, offering listeners a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the White House.

1. Government Shutdown and Federal Worker Pay The episode opens with a discussion of a government shutdown, referred to as the “Schumer shutdown.” Senator Cruz criticizes Democrats for voting against legislation that would have paid essential federal workers during the shutdown. He highlights specific Democratic senators who voted in favor (Warnock, Ossoff, Fetterman) and criticizes the rest for voting against it. Cruz emphasizes the impact on TSA agents, air traffic controllers, and military personnel, warning of potential travel disruptions and national security risks. He also notes that members of Congress continue to receive pay during the shutdown, though he claims to have requested his own pay be withheld. 2. Rise of Antisemitism on the Right Cruz expresses concern about increasing antisemitism within conservative circles, particularly among younger people. He recounts his speech at a Christians United for Israel event, where he warned about the dangers of ignoring antisemitism on the right. He criticizes both the left and right for harboring antisemitic sentiments, but emphasizes a recent rise on the right. Cruz calls on church leaders and conservatives to actively oppose antisemitism and support Israel, citing national security interests and moral obligations. 3. Opposition to Ambassador Nominee Amer Ghalib Cruz discusses his opposition to Amer Ghalib, a nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait. He criticizes Ghalib’s past statements, including praise for the Muslim Brotherhood and controversial social media activity. Cruz argues that Ghalib’s views are incompatible with U.S. foreign policy and President Trump’s positions, particularly regarding Israel and the Abraham Accords. He predicts that the nomination will likely be withdrawn due to bipartisan concerns. 4. Religious Persecution in China The podcast concludes with a segment on the persecution of Christians in China, particularly the arrest of Pastor Jin Mingri and members of the Zion Church. Cruz condemns the Chinese Communist Party’s actions and calls for the U.S. to use diplomatic and economic pressure to advocate for religious freedom. He emphasizes the importance of the U.S. standing up for persecuted religious minorities globally. Cruz expresses hope that President Trump will raise the issue during an upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Biden DOJ Subpoenaed MY Phone Records, Spied on 20% of GOP Senators, plus Lunch w Trump in the Rose Garden

1. DOJ Subpoenas and Alleged Political Surveillance Senator Cruz reveals that Jack Smith, Special Counsel under the Biden DOJ, subpoenaed his phone records as part of an investigation into events surrounding January 6th. Cruz was not initially listed among the nine Republican senators whose records were obtained because his phone provider, AT&T, refused to comply with the subpoena, citing constitutional protections under the Speech and Debate Clause. The DOJ reportedly obtained records from Verizon for other senators, including Marsha Blackburn, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, and Lindsey Graham. Cruz and Ferguson characterize the subpoenas as a politically motivated fishing expedition, lacking criminal justification. 2. Concerns Over Abuse of Power Cruz argues this represents a dangerous precedent of the executive branch spying on legislative members. He calls for hearings and investigations to uncover who authorized the subpoenas and to prevent future abuses. The operation is referred to as “Arctic Frost”, which Cruz likens to a modern-day Watergate. 3. Meeting with Donald Trump at the White House Cruz recounts a lunch with Trump and other Republican senators, where Trump showcased renovations to the Rose Garden and plans for a new ballroom. The upgrades are privately funded, not taxpayer-funded, yet have drawn criticism from Democrats. Trump also distributed personalized gifts (e.g., challenge coins, golf towels, M&Ms) and joked about naming a room the “Monica Lewinsky Room.” 4. Government Shutdown Cruz discusses the ongoing government shutdown, blaming Democrats for refusing to vote to reopen. He notes that only three Democrats have supported reopening efforts, despite impacts on TSA agents and air traffic controllers. He predicts that retiring Democrats may eventually break ranks to end the shutdown.
