Blames cartels, street gangs (e.g., Latin Kings), and “Democrat leaders” for escalating violence and undermining ICE. References Facebook removing cartel-linked groups that targeted ICE agents. 2. Trump’s Response Donald Trump is taking decisive military action: Authorizing strikes on drug boats and CIA operations in Venezuela. Declaring drug cartels as terrorist organizations. Quotes Eric Trump defending these measures, emphasizing fentanyl deaths, crime in Chicago, and his father’s “war on the cartels.” Frames Democrats as soft on crime and complicit in cartel activity.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, all antisemitic, racist, and bigoted messaging and other forms of communication should be aggressively condemned. Who cares if it's Young Republicans or Young Democrats, members of Congress, media that platforms and promotes such poison, organizations that invite bigots as speakers and debaters, podcasters, comedians, and on and on. It's disgusting that some of those condemning the Young Republicans in the Politico piece, who most certainly should be condemned and removed, are as guilty as they are with their headlines, storylines, and promotion of a long list of bigots. It's sinister. The likes of Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, Steve Bannon, and their ilk, as well as their apologists are being mainstreamed do have an impact on the minds of too many young people. Where are the top Republicans denouncing them? Later, Zohran Mamdani is a Marxist Islamist disguised as a democratic socialist. Mamdani's policies would impoverish NYC like Cuba or Venezuela through freebies, high minimum wages, and welfare expansion eroding liberty and affordability while attracting the poor and overwhelming services. Mamdani speaks out of both sides of his mouth, ignoring Hamas's slaughter, beatings, and public field executions of Palestinians while fixating on his claim that Israelis killed five Palestinians recently. Afterward, Islamists won't be deterred by peace plans, and these nations, such as Qatar and Turkey, fund, fear, and acquiesce to terrorism. Right now, Hamas is slaughtering and executing Palestinians in Gaza, which is ignored by pro-Palestinian groups like Students for Justice in Palestine, who is indirectly controlled by Hamas and aimed at destroying Israel and the U.S. There's no marching in the streets for Hamas slaughtering Palestinians. Also, Republicans better fight like hell, or the Democrats could take over the House in the midterms, which would mean President Trump loses his agenda. Do not listen to the polls.

A federal judge halted the Trump administration's efforts to get rid of roughly 4,000 federal workers during the shutdown on Wednesday. And yet while courts try to stop the Trump administration from axing government workers, hundreds of thousands of federal employees are going without paychecks. And the Affordable Care Act subsidies Democrats are fighting for are what stands between millions of Americans and even higher health care prices. To discuss how the shutdown and the subsidies fight are affecting rural Americans, I spoke to Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin.And in headlines, Department of Homeland Security blows a wad of cash on Kristi Noem-inspired propaganda, Trump confirms he's authorized CIA action in Venezuela.

The U.S. has been a model for other aspiring democracies since 1776. At the same time, the idea of America as the leader of the democratic world has also had a unifying effect at home. It's what has kept this diverse country of many faiths and ethnicities together, and it has been our national identity. But with Trump actively undermining those ideals, what will we be unified around? Plus, the potential new whites-favored refugee policy, Trump's psychological comfort to the Russian war effort, Hegseth got himself a state media press room at the Pentagon, JD is totally cool with lots of Nazi talk—and could the administration be trying to start a war in Venezuela so it can expand its militaristic crackdown on the streets here?

SEASON 4 EPISODE 25: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Is Trump Bombing Boats off Venezuela to test to see if he can get away with Bombing Americans in America? I mean now he says he’s going to try to get away with Bombing Venezuelans in Venezuela. If, 72 hours before Saturday’s No Kings protests around the country, we are at the stage – (and we are AT the stage) that Trump is threatening to invade Boston and San Francisco, and where Trump’s lackeys are calling everybody who disagrees with him “Antifa” and Trump has declared “Antifa” a quote “Domestic Terrorist Organization” – acronym DTO, and we’re at the stage where Trump has again this week – Tuesday morning – had the Secretary of Brylcreem blow up a probable sardine fishing boat in the Caribbean after declaring it was “affiliated with a “DESIGNATED Terrorist Organization” – acronym ALSO DTO… if we are blowing up people Trump and Trump alone gets to decide were in DESIGNATED DTO’s and in the process destroying ALL evidence for-or-against, how far in his madness and Stephen Miller’s evil are we from Trump blowing up people Trump and Trump alone gets to decide were in DOMESTIC D-T-O’s and in the process destroying ALL evidence for-or-against? The huge leap from bombing DTO’s to bombing… DTO’s. It's a big step. But it’s one even Trump, as his body disintegrates, can still manage. Plus my ex Olivia Nuzzi has reportedly written a new book. So now you know what to get me for Christmas. I have title suggestions. They are not cordial ones. B-Block (34:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Fox's Emily Compagno assumes anybody criticizing the appointment of Bari Weiss is an antisemite. Including critics who are Jewish. There is a MAGA celebrity chef named Andrew Gruel, from "Gravy Concepts" and he's one of Fox's Antifa experts. And then there is Governor Janet Mills of Maine who is trying to bigfoot Graham Platner and actually make Susan Collins the youngster in the race. C-Block (46:25) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The actual anniversary was two weeks ago, but whenever the leaves start to fall I think of the 1993 launch of ESPN2.

Justices heard arguments Wednesday over a case concerning a key provision of the Voting Rights Act related to congressional district maps in Louisiana. Lawrence Hurley, senior Supreme Court reporter for NBC News, discusses how the pending decision could drastically change voting maps in the South. Journalists from major news outlets refused to sign onto a new policy restricting who they can talk to and what type of information they can report on at the Pentagon. Melissa Korn, deputy bureau chief for media at the Wall Street Journal, explains how the move upends decades of standard practice at the Department of Defense. An investigation by the Washington Post reveals how the Department of Veterans Affairs' disability program is fraught with shady and sometimes fraudulent claims. Craig Whitlock, investigative reporter at the Post, breaks down how the program became a target for fraud. Plus, a federal judge temporarily blocked the administration’s firing of federal workers during the shutdown, why Trump authorized CIA operations in Venezuela, and a legal battle over Uncrustables. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

Trump Declares (Covert) War On Venezuela by Ron Paul Liberty Report
PREVIEW HEADLINE: Venezuela's Post-Maduro Challenge: Securing Military Loyalty in a Brief Transition Window GUEST: Evan Ellis, Professor, US Army War College 100-WORD SUMMARY: John Batchelor hosts Professor Evan Ellis to discuss the challenges facing Venezuela following the presumptive departure of Maduro, who heads the illegitimate Caracas regime and is named as the head of a drug cartel. The conversation focuses on the elected president, Edmundo González, and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado. Machado and González insist they are the elected government and their transition is not a regime change. Professor Ellis emphasizes that the timeline is critical. Since the US likely "won't necessarily be sticking around" to establish the transition to a democratic order, González and Machado will face a "very brief window and a very difficult task." Key challenges include establishing order and securing the loyalty of military personnel whose prior bosses were aligned with Maduro. 1900 CARACAS Retry
PREVIEW HEADLINE: International Silence on US Venezuela Intentions Analyzed; Opposition Tied to Concerns Over US Hegemony, Not Maduro's Defense GUEST NAME: Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Americas Columnist, Wall Street Journal Editorial Page 50-WORD SUMMARY: Mary Anastasia O'Grady analyzes the silence from capitals regarding the US intention to help elected leaders restore Venezuela. She notes that opposition to regimes like Maduro is weak because his track record is indefensible. However, louder objections are anticipated if there is a "strike on land" or if the US successfully restores its influence in the region, as this opposition is fundamentally about challenging US hegemony. 1876 Bolivar enters Caracas

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan exposes how Mexican cartels are learning drone warfare in Ukraine, Trump's new covert operation in Venezuela, and China's growing stranglehold on the world's rare earth supply. We also cover plans for an international force in Gaza, Trump's expanding bailout of Argentina, and the return of U.S. manufacturing jobs. Cartels Train for Drone Warfare: Mexican and Colombian cartels are sending members to Ukraine to study drone combat and jamming evasion. These skills could soon target U.S. cities and law enforcement. Bryan warns, “When the next 9/11 happens, it may come from people we already know — using tech we helped build.” Trump Targets Venezuela's Narco Regime: The President authorized CIA and Special Operations units to act against the Maduro government and its Cartel de los Soles network. The finding allows covert lethal force against designated terrorists, marking the most aggressive U.S. posture toward Venezuela in decades. China's Rare Earth Power Play: Beijing tightened its export limits on critical minerals, shaking global markets. G7 leaders blasted Xi Jinping for weaponizing trade, while Trump's team vowed to counter with new mining and tariffs. International Force for Gaza: Indonesia, Egypt, Qatar, the UAE, and Azerbaijan are preparing a stabilization mission as Hamas factions turn on rival clans. Bryan warns, “It may get far worse before it gets better.” Argentina and the Fight Against Socialism: Trump doubled U.S. aid to $40 billion to back Javier Milei and block China's influence in South America, calling it “a bet on freedom.” Manufacturing Returns Home: Jeep maker Stellantis and Whirlpool announced new multibillion-dollar U.S. investments, marking major wins for Trump's reshoring plan and America's industrial revival. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Mexican cartels Ukraine drone training, Trump covert action Venezuela, China rare earth exports G7 response, Gaza International Stabilization Force, Trump Argentina Milei bailout, Stellantis U.S. factory investment, Whirlpool Ohio reshoring jobs

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they highlight Zohran Mamdani's radical responses in a Fox News interview, President Trump approving covert CIA operations in Venezuela, and the Democrats still tripping all over themselves on the government shutdown.First, they react to socialist New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani's evasive answers about Hamas disarming and his shocking statement that he would “exhaust every legal option” to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visited New York City while Mamdani was mayor. While some are disarmed by Mamdani's calm demeanor and frequent smiles, Jim says he came across as "shameless" in the interview.Next, they analyze a New York Times report that President Trump has approved covert CIA missions in Venezuela aimed at ousting socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro. Jim and Greg would be thrilled to see Maduro go, but Jim warns that there better be a clear plan on what comes next after our recent efforts at installing governments in Iraq and Afghanistan.Finally, they highlight House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries' cringeworthy attempt to blame the government shutdown on House Republicans. They also look at new polling showing that voters blame both parties for the shutdown. And will Democrats fold after their big anti-Trump rallies this weekend or forge ahead in a fight they cannot win?Please visit our great sponsors:Sponsored by Quo, formerly known as Open Phone: Get started free and save 20% on your first 6 months and port your existing numbers at no extra charge—no missed calls, no missed customers.

On this episode of the Cajun Knight Live, we start off in America discussing the Senate rejecting a fundung bill with "no end in sight" of the government shutdown. We take a quick detour from DC to talk about a man running for local Sheriff in Arkansas who was accused of killing his daughters attacker! Then back over to DC to talk about the China tariff war being back on the agenda as American soy bean farmers feel the pressure. Next, we talk about some of the nuances surrounding the US relations with Venezuela, as Trump approves sending CIA agents into the country! At the same time, Trump is trying to send his buddy (the Argentinian President) a $20 billion bailout. We briefly discuss Alex Jones and his rejected appeal in the Sandy Hook case, before discussing the Supreme Courts decision in gerrymandering the state of Louisiana on the basis of race. We then shift over to Idaho and peel back some of the misunderstandings surrounding the Qatari pilots that will be training there. We briefly touch on a suspicious crash that just happened outside of Area 51, before we move the conversation towards the ceasefire between Hamas and the IDF as Hamas is conducting public executions in the street. While on the topic of the middle east, we discuss the Pakistani Taliban conflict, as it just began a 48 hour ceasefire.

//The Wire//2300Z October 15, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CARIBBEAN WAR CONTINUES AS PENTAGON SINKS FASTBOAT AND STRATEGIC AVIATION CONDUCTS SHOW OF FORCE OPERATIONS. CONFLICT BETWEEN PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN CONTINUES. SECWAR'S PLANE SUFFERS EMERGENCY WHILE RETURNING TO USA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Afghanistan: The conflict between the Taliban and Pakistan flared up again overnight, before both sides agreed to another ceasefire. Despite the various statements of ceasefire by both sides, random skirmishes continue. Pakistan conducted airstrikes in Kabul once again, and Afghan forces conducted random skirmishes at a few border checkpoints along the Durand Line that designates the border between the two nations.Ireland: A mass stabbing was reported in the vicinity of Grattan Wood in Dublin. One individual was killed, and two others wounded during the attack. No further details have been provided at this time.Analyst Comment: Local media has reported that this attack took place at a "residence", which is misleading. The location of the attack was inside a care home that houses underage migrants.Caribbean: Yesterday the War Department announced the kinetic targeting of another fastboat off the coast of Venezuela, bringing the total to 5x vessels sunk so far during this campaign.United Kingdom: This afternoon, American Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made an unplanned emergency landing due to an incident involving his aircraft. The SECWAR was returning to the US from Belgium when a crack appeared in the windscreen of the aircraft, which possibly caused a depressurization incident. The pilots made an emergency descent to roughly 6,000 ft AGL, and proceeded to land safely without further incident.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - DC Judge Kendra Briggs authorized the release of the two individuals who assaulted Edward Coristine, after sentencing them to probation. Both individuals (who have not been identified as they are allegedly juveniles) will face zero jail or juvenile detention time for their violent attack on Coristine, who was a high-ranking member of the DOGE team investigating government fraud during the initial months of President Trump's term. Coristine had intervened to stop a carjacking at a parking garage in DC, which resulted in a gang of roughly a dozen "juveniles" beating him, breaking his nose during the assault. The two individuals prosecuted in this case were the only two in the group that were caught.North Carolina: Following a series of attempted murders in Charlotte on Sunday, the individual who conducted the stabbing of two people has been released from jail. Paulette Gibson (who has an extensive criminal history) was released from jail on $20,000 bail, roughly 48 hours after nearly stabbing two people to death during a street fight.Analyst Comment: In the wake of the exceptionally brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska, North Carolina has passed legislation to stop the practice of cashless bail and overhaul the bail system so as to reduce the likelihood that violent offenders would be released. This was a hotly contested bill that required a veto-proof majority to pass (as the Governor threatened repeatedly to veto it). Eventually the bill was passed and became law on October 1st, but nevertheless, Gibson was released on bail anyway.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: This morning plane watchers noted the presence of several B-52 Stratofortress bombers conducting operations just north of Venezuela. So far the War Department has not commented on this development, and it's not clear as to if these transponder pings are genuine or the result of other platforms spoofing the identities of these aircraft. If genuine, this is undoubtedly a show of force. No operational deployment of B-52's would involve the pilots leaving their transponders turned on, so this was

Tara exposes a shocking new Cygnal poll showing just how far America's political Left has drifted — with 42% of liberals and a stunning 60% under 30 now approving of breaking the law when they “disagree with government action.” Tara connects the dots between this growing acceptance of violence, the Left's street-level mobs, and leaders like Chuck Schumer openly calling for Americans to “rise up” — language that can no longer be dismissed as metaphor. Then, she takes you inside the chaos in Chicago, where ICE agents were surrounded and attacked by violent mobs for simply doing their jobs, and explains how Democrat policies and cartel networks are fueling a nationwide crisis of lawlessness and child exploitation. Finally, Tara ties it all together with Trump's escalating standoff with Venezuela — revealing how global corruption, open borders, and domestic unrest are part of the same dangerous web.
