The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – It's incomprehensible that today's Democrat party is publicly siding with the destruction of the rule of law while misrepresenting many aspects of the new regulations. Their complaint is despicable, as is their desire to stand with those who would promote racism, encourage violent protests, support terrorism, traffic children, and mutilate their bodies...

This autumn Italian workers down shut their country in opposition to the Gaza genocide. In the United States, in contrast, labor activists wanting to take a stand in solidarity with Palestinian workers are frequently chastised for trying to involve their unions in the affairs of other countries. Yet labor historian Jeff Schuhrke illustrates that U.S. unions have long been involved in Palestine — for almost a century supporting Zionism and then the state Israel.

John Rush kicks off Rush to Reason with a fiery take on faith and outrage, questioning why so many Christians overreacted to a simple, compassionate moment between Vice President JD Vance and Erica Kirk. Is this a sign of moral decay—or just misplaced judgment? Then, financial expert David Stryzewski of Sound Planning Group (https://myspg.com/) joins the show to unpack the realities behind America's economy, from the government shutdown to inflation and jobs. Are we really in crisis—or is the media fueling fear for political gain? Together, they challenge listeners to think critically about faith, finance, and common sense in today's culture. HOUR 2 In this gripping hour of Rush to Reason, John Rush takes listeners from the rise of government control to the drama of the playing field. With guest Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation (https://www.texaspolicy.com), he exposes how programs like SNAP and EBT have transformed from safety nets into tools of dependency and control. Have Americans traded self-reliance for comfort—and freedom for convenience? As callers weigh in, the conversation widens to New York's Marxist politics, before pivoting to sports, where John and Richard Rush tackle the future of Major League Baseball, Broncos football, and Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes. Will baseball face reform? Can Denver turn narrow wins into a comeback season? And is Coach Prime's bold vision already on the line? This hour delivers high-stakes questions, cultural insight, and the kind of truth-telling that keeps listeners thinking long after the mic goes silent. HOUR 3 In this powerful hour of Rush to Reason, John Rush dives into the crossroads of AI, politics, and personal responsibility. What happens when technology becomes too powerful—and too political? Guest Brendan Steinhauser from the Alliance for Secure AI (https://secureainow.org) warns of China's race to dominate artificial intelligence and the dangers of losing control over the very tools shaping humanity's future. Then, Mark Mix of the National Right to Work Committee exposes how unions and politics intertwine to manipulate workers and elections. As the hour unfolds, John tackles America's growing dependency crisis, asking why 4 out of 10 citizens rely on government aid. Have we forgotten the dignity of work? Are we trading freedom for comfort? From global tech threats to national work ethic, this episode confronts the biggest question of all—can America stay free in a world that rewards dependence?

Meredith Kennett: NZ School Boards Association President on the Education Minister removing school board Treaty requirements

Unions have voiced disappointment over the Education Minister's plan to remove school board Treaty requirements. Erica Stanford intends to scrap a clause under which boards must reflect local tikanga in the curriculum - and teach te reo Māori. The PPTA labelled it another step in the Government's apparent drive to take the country back 50 years NZ School Boards Association President, Meredith Kennett, says putting it in legislation ensures school policies consider the history of children and their whanau. "Allow us to connect with local iwi - and making sure that this school is fit for purpose for our children, because our children need to belong. And if they don't feel like they do, then they won't achieve." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: Are the teachers' unions right to be upset with Erica Stanford?

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Okay, I've got a question for you - and this is a genuine question, it's not a rhetorical question. Do you agree with the teachers' unions that it's an outrage that Erica Stanford is taking the Treaty obligation out of the Education Act, or do you agree with Erica Stanford that it needs to come out? Now, I'm asking you this question because I honestly cannot understand why the teachers' unions are causing uproar over this, because it seems to me to be a clear case that this should come out. It hasn't helped lift Māori achievement in the five years it's been in the legislation. In fact, going by just one metric, which is the proportion of Māori students leaving school with no NCEA qualification at all, it's getting worse. It was 24 percent in 2021, it's now nearly 28 percent at last count. So if this thing isn't helping, then it shouldn't be there - because all it is then is just virtue signalling and distracting schools when they should be, as the minister said, laser-focused on educating kids. So this is where I ask my question - because this is where I get confused. If it doesn't have to be in there, then why are the unions picking this fight? Why are they fighting for yet another pet ideological project? Did they not learn from the allergic reaction that parents had to the news that the number one thing on the PPTA's agenda for the meeting with the minister was Palestine? That went down like a cup of cold sick. Is it not obvious to the unions that they are losing the patience of parents who've already had a guts-full of an education system that isn't educating their kids - and the teacher unions making excuses for it, and the teacher unions not wanting to have to do more work? So it's one of two things that's going on here for me, right? Either teacher unions really just cannot help themselves when it comes to yet another political distraction and a chance to give a National Party a bloody nose, or they know something that I don't - which is that there is enormous support out there for them fighting the good fight on the Treaty obligation for the boards of trustees. Is that happening? Am I missing something here? Is there massive support out there for teachers who are fighting this? Or are they burning parents' goodwill because they can't help themselves yet again fighting with a National-led Government? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sechs Siege aus acht Pflichtspielen - Hertha rollt in der zweiten Liga das Feld von hinten auf. Das Heimspiel gegen Dresden (06:20) war für Hertha-Legende Axel Kruse trotz des schwachen Gegners eine sehr reife Leistung. Die Siegesserie der Blau-Weißen (30:35) haben diese auch der Leistungssteigerung ihres Kapitäns zu verdanken, der nach viel Kritik vor einigen Wochen jetzt von Axel zum Herthaner der Woche erklärt wird (36:05). Ur-Unioner Christian Beeck blickt vergleichsweise emotionslos sowohl auf Unions Nullnummer gegen Freiburg (21:28), als auch auf den umstrittenen Videobeweis zurück, der Ilic um sein erstes Saisontor brachte (40:00). Den Titel des Unioners der Woche verleiht Beeck am Ende der Episode der ehemaligen Lieblingszeitung vieler Fußballfans, der FuWo (56:44). Im Vorspiel erörtern die Experten die Chancen der Berliner Klubs im jeweils ersten von zwei zügig aufeinanderfolgenden Duellen mit ihrem nächsten Gegner, denn Union spielt gegen Bayern (45:40) erst am Samstag und dann im Dezember im DFB-Pokal, genau wie Hertha gegen Kaiserslautern (51:46).

In Folge 132 des legendären Fußballpodcasts Biene Ritter Bär geht's wieder heißer zu als in der Dresdner Pyroabteilung! Henry, Mü, Dennis und Karsten liefern sich diesmal ein episches Berliner Doppel-Derby-Update: Hertha BSC im Höhenflug und Union Berlin zwischen Krampf und VAR-Wahnsinn. Dennis und Karsten sezieren die „englische Perfektwoche“ der Hertha – drei Spiele, drei Siege, null Kreisläufe – und ein Torwart, der mehr Glück bringt als jede Glücksente. Von Elversberg bis Dresden läuft alles, sogar die Elfmeter. Selbst die Pyro-Verbote werden diskutiert, denn offenbar kann man in Dresden auch an Plastikponchos scheitern. Dann wird's hitzig: Henry und Mü analysieren Unions zähen Pokalabend gegen Bielefeld (Ein Gegner, der sich irgendwann selbst weggekrampft hat) und das 0:0 gegen Freiburg, das laut Henry so spannend war wie ein Steuerbescheid. Dazu: Diskussionen über VAR-Wahnsinn, Schiedsrichterpsychologie, Handball-Vorbildfunktionen und das Fußball-Reklamier-Gen. Zwischendurch philosophieren die Jungs über Geldregen im Pokal, Union gegen Bayern („das Gegenteil eines Freiloses“) und die Traum-Auslosung Hertha vs. Lautern. Und während in Berlin noch über Ponchos diskutiert wird, kämpft sich Borussia Dortmund im Pokal durch die Hölle von Frankfurt – und zwar mit viel Glück, noch mehr Schweiß und endlich mal ohne VAR! Mü analysiert den Pokalfight in gewohnter Ruhrpott-Poesie: frühes Gegentor, Chaos in der Defensive, aber dann Brand(t)gefährlich zum 1:1, das wahrscheinlich in jedem anderen Wettbewerb kassiert worden wäre. Kobel hält, was zu halten ist, Bellingham ist plötzlich wieder da, und am Ende rettet der Elfmeter-Gott höchstpersönlich den BVB ins Achtelfinale. Mü bringt's auf den Punkt: „Glücklich weiter, aber fragt am Ende keine Sau nach!“ – und Henry nickt weise, während Dennis versucht, irgendwo zwischen Bier, VAR-Trauma und Leverkusen-Statistik die Moral zu finden.

In this episode, we synopsize the Milwaukee and Chicago sequences that make up the first half of the novel, zeroing in on the Prohibition era para-parastatal underworld of speakeasies, bootlegger tunnels, and subterranean dynamiter labs and the adjacent rhizome of socialist saloons, Galleanisti anarcho-clubhouses, and union locals in Cream City. We examine how Pynchon's Reformed Detective Shadowing Cheese Heiress mystery is partly a cipher for the ways in which Capone's Chicago Outfit and their Milwaukee Mob affiliates sought to complete “transformismo” and earn assimilation into the white color criminal realm of the ruling elite during the Depression's socioeconomic crisis and contraction, gaining favor through the loyal rendering of anticommunist strikebreaking and labor racketeering services. This tacit deal between the ChiTown upper and underworlds is a minor skeleton key to much of 20th century deep politics by way of the Outfit's Joe Kennedy ties, the JFK assassination, Sam Giancana's involvement in the Fidel Assassination Prank Show, GLADIO, and beyond. We start to coalesce theories for why Pynchon is pointing us in this direction including the blatant 1930s - 2020s encroaching fascism parallels; the less-traveled counterinsurgent history of the Pinkertons, J. Edgar Hoover's early proving of mettle circa Palmer Raids, and the First Red Scare and the way in which there are telling deep event continuities to be traced from the early 1900s to McCarthyism and Cointelpro, early experiments in the strategy of tension playbook; the Bureaus of Investigation and Prohibition and their Wars on Alcohol, Crime, and the Left (including the anti-immigrant and anti-communist targeting of proletarian taverns) and how the Interwar Period gave rise to the modern surveillance and carceral apparatuses; and the secret colonial histories and conflict economies buried inside mundane commodities like cheese and milk. Incomplete List of Sources (may update):Gus Russo - The Outfit: The Role of Chicago's Underworld in The Shaping of Modern AmericaJames B.

Also Riley Gaines blasts AOC for snide and personal remarks about her athletic performance, audio from Senator John Kennedy on Democrats being sore losers and the National Review reports a House Judiciary Commitee finds a coverup of Joe Biden's cognitive decline allowed using the autopen to make executive orders and Presidential pardons that will now be investigated by the DOJ to ultimately determine if reversals are in order.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss left-leaning unions now demanding Democrats support the GOP bill to fund the government, Republicans essentially surrendering the fight against Gavin Newsom's California gerrymandering referendum, and Graham Platner's campaign manager jumping ship after just three days on the job.First, they highlight the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) union publicly demanding an end to the government shutdown and urging Democrats to back the clean extension of government funding pushed by Republicans. Four different pilots' unions are making the same demand. Will this convince four more Senate Dems to switch sides?Next, they wince as the groups spending the most money to defeat California Gov. Gavin Newsom's ballot initiative to gerrymander the state's congressional map are now spending very little and essentially surrendering the fight.Finally, they get a kick out of Maine Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner's campaign manager stepping down after three days on the job. Kevin Brown says it's because he and his wife just found out they are expecting a baby and Platner deserves a campaign manager with undivided attention. But that timing seems awfully convenient given Platner's Nazi tattoo scandal.Please visit our great sponsors:Cancel unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money at https://RocketMoney.com/MARTINI Build your fall sanctuary of comfort with Boll and Branch.

Why have public-sector unions drifted from improving workplaces to driving culture-war politics? Fr. George Schultze, SJ — former labor organizer, scholar, and spiritual director — joins Disunion to explain how government unions abandoned their historic mission of uplifting workers and instead embraced a post-modern, power-centered ideology. We explore the roots of the labor movement, the moral compass it once relied on, and how today's unions push agendas — from gender policy to abortion activism — that many members don't support. Fr. Schultze also shares a hopeful path forward rooted in faith, family, and the dignity of work.

The Deputy Prime Minister says health and education unions need to be realistic about their pay demands. Tens of thousands of workers across health and education are walking off the job today today in their fight for better pay and conditions. It could be the largest strike action in the country in a generation, but a number of events are expected to be affected by the weather. David Seymour told Mike Hosking that there isn't a single member of the Cabinet who wouldn't like to pay nurses, doctors and teachers more, if they could. He says there seems to be a disconnect between what some of these unions are demanding, and the reality most New Zealanders are actually facing.

This week, CURE America with Donald T. Eason sits down with Dr. Corey DeAngelis, "the school choice evangelist” and bestselling author of The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools, endorsed by Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy. In this explosive episode, DeAngelis exposes how COVID lockdowns unveiled public schools' shift to “gender ideology” and “critical race theory” over math and reading. Shocking stats—like Chicago's 55 schools with zero math proficiency despite $30,000/student spending—reveal a system bloated by a 95% surge in administrators since 1970. Unions, led by Randi Weingarten, silenced parents, with school boards cutting mics and the Biden-era FBI tagging moms as “domestic terrorists.” But a “mama bear” uprising is reshaping education: 17 states passed universal school choice laws in four years, letting parents fund schools or homeschooling (~$1,000/year vs. public schools' $15,000–$30,000) that align with their values. DeAngelis highlights Florida's public schools soaring to top rankings via competition and micro-schools where kids learn physics by building bows and arrows for ~$10,000/year. His research shows school choice cuts crime and empowers religious families. Eason ties it to Proverbs 22:6, emphasizing parents as primary educators. DeAngelis slams unions for dodging Supreme Court rulings and endorsing figures like Virginia's Jay Jones, who fantasized about violence.

Synopsis- HUD in crisis- The Department of Housing and Urban Development has seen its staff slashed by 70% since Donald Trump took office, with civil rights cases being abandoned and political appointees allegedly overriding legal findings to allow discrimination.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: About 750,000 people are on unpaid leave as the U.S. government shutdown continues —  but some of the most caring parts of the government's work have been shut down for months. Take the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for example. This is one of the only free resources available to Americans facing housing discrimination, but in a shocking complaint letter submitted to Senator Elizabeth Warren on September 22, 2025, civil rights attorneys Palmer Heenan, Paul Osadebe and two other whistleblowers describe an agency in crisis. Staff has been slashed by 70% since Donald Trump took office, civil rights cases have been abandoned, and political appointees are allegedly overriding legal findings to allow discrimination. Every layoff and budget cut by the Trump administration, both within HUD and across federal agencies, is part of a larger plan to create chaos, end civil rights protections, legalize segregation and exert unitary executive power. Heenan and Osadebe, members of the Federal Unionists Network (FUN), are calling on federal employees to uphold their oath to constitution and protect Americans. And they've paid the price: *both Heenan and Osadebe were fired by HUD in what has been called a "stunning act of illegal retaliation.” In this conversation, the two share their story, what it means for civil rights and how unions can fight for government accountability.“No one is asking for a leg up or an extra hand or whatever the case might be. We're just asking to get rid of discrimination. And so I hope the future will tell the story of people doing just that, coming together, going to Congress and saying, ‘These are our rights. You passed them into law decades ago. Fight for the rights that we have now.'” - Palmer Heenan“The thing that will actually get us through this is solidarity, recognizing what potential power we have as federal workers . . . [The administration wants] to create fear, which leads to silence, which lets things be dismantled without anyone standing up and fighting and saying, ‘This is illegal, this is wrong and this is harming people.' It's up to federal workers, the ones in the building, to actually do that.” - Paul OsadebeGuests:• Palmer Heenan: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Member, AFGE 476• Paul Osadebe: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Steward, AFGE 476 Watch the special report on YouTube; PBS World Channel Sundays 11:30am ET, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Professor Tom Alter, a tenured historian at Texas State University, was recently fired for speaking at an online socialism conference. His remarks were secretly recorded and doctored by a self-proclaimed fascist influencer who launched a smear campaign. There was no due process, a blatant violation of his First Amendment and academic freedom rights. The president of Texas State University upheld the firing of Tom Alter after a court ordered his reinstatement. A broad coalition has formed to “Defend Tom Alter.” Tom joins Suzi to describe what happened and why his case has become a flashpoint in the new McCarthyism sweeping US campuses. Then, longtime Chicano activist Bill Gallegos tells the story of how Los Angeles united to defeat Trump's deployment of troops to enforce ICE raids and terrorize immigrant communities. Unions, immigrant organizations, artists, faith leaders, and even business groups built a united front demanding troops out — and they won. Trump's troops were forced to withdraw. LA showed the country what resistance and broad solidarity can achieve: when people organize and stand firm, even a president bent on repression can be pushed back. LA was supposed to be Trump's model for his authoritarian power grab, but instead it was the template for defeating it. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

When Will the Shutdown Affect Markets?

An extended U.S. government shutdown raises the risk for weaker growth potential. Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy Michael Zezas suggests key checkpoints that investors should keep in mind.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy.Today: Three checkpoints we're watching for as the U.S. government shutdown continues. It's Wednesday, October 8th at 10:30am in New York. The federal government shutdown in the United States has crossed the one week mark. But if you're watching the markets, you might be surprised at how calm everything seems. Stocks are steady. Bond yields haven't moved much, and volatility's low. It's more or less the scenario my colleague Ariana and I had talked about in anticipation of the impasse in Washington. We'd noted the potential for uncertainty for investors and market reaction depending on how long the shutdown would last. So that raises a big question: what, if anything, about this government shutdown could shake investor confidence and start moving markets? The question is worth considering. Prediction markets now suggest the most likely outcome is that the government shutdown will not end for at least another week. And as we've seen in past shutdowns, the longer it drags on, the more likely it is to matter. That's because risks to the economic outlook start to accumulate, and investors eventually have to start pricing in a weaker growth outlook. There's a few checkpoints we're watching for – for when investors might start feeling this way. First, the missed paycheck for furloughed federal workers. The first instance of this comes in a few days. Less pay naturally means less spending. Studies suggest that spending among affected workers can drop by two to four percent during a shutdown. That's not huge for GDP at first; but it's a sign the shutdown is having effects beyond Washington, DC. Second, this time might be different because of potential layoffs. The administration has hinted that agencies could move to permanently cut staff — something we haven't seen before. Unions have already said they'd challenge that in court. But if those actions start, or even if legal uncertainty grows around them, it could raise the economic stakes. Third, we're watching for real disruptions to economic activity resulting from the shutdown. The last shutdown ended when air traffic in New York was curtailed due to a shortage of air traffic controllers. We're already seeing substantial air traffic delays across the country. More substantial delays or ground halts obviously impede economic activity related to travel. And if such actions don't coincide with signals from DC of progress in negotiating a bill to reopen the government, investors' concern could grow. So here's the bottom line: markets may be right to stay calm — for now. But the longer this shutdown lasts, the more likely one of these pressure points pushes investors to rethink their optimism. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy Thoughts on the Market, please leave us a review and tell your friends about the podcast. We want everyone to listen.
