Gov. Mike DeWine ended months of speculation, officially endorsing Vivek Ramaswamy as his Republican successor.

Time to take another look at cultural Indian Vivek Ramaswamy, seeking to be elected governor of one of the most important states of the nation, Ohio. Is Vivek an example of the mythical “fully assimilated” ethnic Indian we're supposed to believe is a thing? Or is he really just another cultural Indian doing the traditional third-world thing of engaging in fraud & deceit, and the aggressive exploitation of a high-trust, first-world society to benefit his cultural Indian interests—to the DETRIMENT of ACTUAL American citizens?

John Fawcett breaks down the biggest news items of the day, including U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant's investigation into money wiring services linked to Somali fraud, congress debating immigration after a shocking statistic was revealed, Vivek Ramaswamy's bodyguard arrested on drug trafficking charges, and Chicago's police superintendent's stern warning to radical activists regarding law enforcement.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's a midterm election year and the Ohio governor's seat is up for grabs as there is no incumbent. The presumptive nominees for the two major parties finalized their tickets this week. Presumptive Republican nominee Vivek Ramaswamy, the businessman and former presidential candidate and Department of Government Efficiency partner, selected Senate President Rob McColley of Northwest Ohio as his running mate. Dr. Amy Acton chose the former leader of the Ohio Democratic Party -- and an active fly in the Republican ointment on social media, David Pepper. Get ready for the Doctor....Pepper campaign. State and local health experts urge us to get a flu shot, even though the shot doesn't seem to be matched up well with the current strain of virus. Flu cases are on the rise statewide and in Northeast Ohio, flu-related hospitalizations doubled this week, according to an Ideastream report. Year-over-year cases are higher as well and we are still several weeks away from peak flu season. And we've got measles to worry about, too. Three kids in Cuyahoga County have them. The East Cleveland City School District is riding high after being released last month from state oversight, which had been in place for more than seven years. Gov. Mike DeWine spent much of the week refuting what he called disinformation spread on social media alleging fraud in the state's day care system. The online videos specifically target day cares run by Somali immigrants. Ohio has the second largest population of Somalis in the nation. Police in Akron bring their own long guns to work, but Akron's mayor says they should use only department-issued weapons. He inserted that new rule in the capital budget he submitted to city council this week. The issue of personal long guns has become a concern for community members after 15-year-old Jazmir Tucker was shot dead by an officer using his own gun in 2024. Swearing in for Cleveland's smaller sized city council happened this week, and grumbling about leadership followed not long after. The council, slimmed down to 15 from 17 due to population declined, features 3-new members -- and one returning member who cast a no vote on a perfunctory approval of council's rules, saying leadership does not seek broad input from its members.

Just days before Christmas, Vivek Ramaswamy once again chose the holiday season to denigrate America, its culture, and its people, repeating his execrable performance of December 26, 2024.  This time, however, Vivek denigrated America, its culture, and its people not in a lengthy X post, but in a lengthy speech at AmericaFest, a purportedly conservative political event put on by Turning Point USA, the organization established by the recently assassinated Charlie Kirk. The message Vivek sent to America and Americans? There's nothing exceptional about being an American, literally anybody can do it, including billions of third-worlders, and America should simply accept that any recent third-world arrival onto America's shores who mouths a few American ideals is as entitled to the legacy and resources of America as is any other American citizen—at the cost, of course, of those scarce resources now no longer being available to those other American citizens. The argument conflates the notions of technical or paperwork American citizen, on the one hand, and cultural American citizen, on the other, conflates the abilities and interests of third-world versus first-world cultures, and cheapens the deeply-loved notion of American as something exceptional and precious that was founded and built and sustained by the blood and sacrifice of generations of American forbears, rather than by billions of foreign nationals. I, for one, object to Vivek's cheapening of America, its culture, and its people, I object to culturally Indian Vivek Ramaswamy seeking to govern over culturally American citizens, and I object to the infestation of America by tens of millions of third-worlders, including far too many millions of purportedly “legal” Indians.

Property owners are howling as their property values, and their taxes keep going up. And the howls are loud enough for legislators to hear. They passed a number of measures aimed at providing property tax relief. But a grassroots effort to eliminate property taxes persists with the goal of qualifying a constitutional amendment for the 2026 ballot. Local governments and schools say that would be devastating. We will begin our lookback on the Statehouse and statewide news of 2025 with the push to reform property taxes and why any reforms from lawmakers may not be enough to stall a driver to abolish the taxes. Senate Bill 1, a higher education overhaul that targets what supporters call “liberal bias” on college campuses, went into effect in June. The bill, whose main architect is Sen. Jerry Cirino of Kirtland, targets most diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives on campuses and bans faculty strikes, among other measures. Legal marijuana will be more tightly regulated, and intoxicating hemp like the kind sold in corner stores and gas stations, will be banned after the legislature late in 2025 addressed those issues. Voters approved recreational marijuana in 2023 in a statute, not a constitutional amendment, allowing lawmakers to make changes. The Ohio Redistricting Commission redrew the state's congressional district maps in 2025 because the map adopted in 2022 did not have bipartisan support, meaning it had to be redrawn instead of being in place for a decade. The new map gives Republicans an edge in 12 of Ohio's 15 districts. The current map delivered 10 seats to Republicans. But this one did get bipartisan support on the commission because Democrats said they feared if they opposed it, and it went to the full legislature, the map would be even more lopsided in favor of Republicans. The months-long negotiations over Ohio's new two-year operating budget dominated the work of lawmakers for the first half of 2025. In the end, lawmakers handed off to the governor a $60 billion spending plan that flattens the state income tax, restricts the kinds of levies schools can ask voters to approve and changes the funding formula for libraries, eliminating the set percentage they received each year. Can Ohio produce enough power to keep up with demands from both consumers and data centers? That was a big issue in 2025, as the governor signed House Bill 15 in May, addressing power generation and grid reliability. Ohio voters approved an amendment to the state constitution, in place since 2023, protecting abortion rights and reproductive health. That doesn't mean lawmakers opposed to abortion were going to halt their efforts to limit it. Last year, they continued to introduce legislation opponents say conflicts with the voter-approved amendment. It's 2026 and that means big races in Ohio -- from the governor's seat with no incumbent to the Senate seat that will likely break fundraising records again -- are on the clock. Midterms will be a huge story for 2026, and races started taking shape in 2025 with the emergence of Vivek Ramaswamy on the Republican side and Dr. Amy Acton as the apparent Democratic candidate.

In this final holiday edition of The Wright Report for the week, Bryan shares economic good news, responds to listener questions about immigration, judges, and American identity, and offers a deeper reflection on what it truly means to be an American in a time of division, foreign influence, and cultural strain. Economic Bright Spots After Christmas: New data from Visa, MasterCard, and American Express show holiday spending rose between four and six percent year over year. GDP growth for the third quarter came in at a strong 4.3%, beating expectations. Bryan notes that while wealthy Americans are still doing well, middle and lower-income families continue to struggle with affordability. He argues the data supports Trump's case that tariffs and deportations did not crash the economy, but instead helped stabilize growth and reduce crime. Crime Falls as Deportations Rise: More than seventeen thousand illegal immigrants have been arrested under the Laken Riley Act, with two and a half million deported or self-deported over the past year. Early crime data suggests declines in murder, robbery, and vehicle theft. Bryan cautions the data is still incomplete but says the trend aligns with common sense and historical experience. Military Recruiting Surges: The U.S. military reported its strongest recruiting numbers in fifteen years. Bryan credits leadership changes at the Pentagon and renewed focus on mission and standards, pushing back on critics who predicted chaos under Secretary Pete Hegseth. Judges, Bias, and the Rule of Law: Listener questions focus on Democrat Judge Hannah Dugan's conviction for helping an illegal immigrant escape her courtroom. Bryan explains why jury reluctance to convict shows the cultural divide remains deep. He also defends his practice of identifying which president appointed judges, arguing that judicial bias is real and supported by Supreme Court reversal data. What It Means to Be an American: Bryan expands on Monday's debate about American identity, pushing back on Vivek Ramaswamy's claim that no American is more American than another. Drawing on the Founders, George Washington's farewell address, and the presidency's constitutional requirements, Bryan argues that allegiance, time in the country, cultural assimilation, and freedom from foreign loyalties all matter. He warns that dismissing heritage and lineage risks turning the United States into a fragmented society similar to modern Europe. Listener Questions and Reflections: The episode closes with unscripted questions on Israel, artificial intelligence and future jobs, personal interests, and Bryan's path from the CIA into broadcasting. He encourages young listeners to pursue skills that require judgment and adaptability, citing careers like the Merchant Marines as one example in an AI-driven future.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: holiday economy consumer spending GDP growth, Laken Riley Act deportations crime drop, military recruiting surge Pete Hegseth, Judge Hannah Dugan conviction immigration, judicial bias Supreme Court reversals, what is an American Founders Washington farewell, Vivek Ramaswamy citizenship debate, assimilation heritage American identity, AI jobs future Merchant Marines

Vivek Ramaswamy Says he's Full American~Throw Shade at J.D. Vance & Calls Out Nick Fuentes at TPUSA

It's Tuesday December 23rd, A.D. 2025.  This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by Kevin Swanson and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin (contact@eanvoiceit.com) Christian Nigerian Youth Fight off Armed Fulani for Over an Hour Young men defending women and children to the death! That's the story from Nigeria today. While a wedding party was taking place in the town of Bundu-Kahugu, a small group off young men, volunteer guards fought off armed Fulani for over an hour. The boys never retreated, as they held off the heavily armed attackers with nothing but machetes and handmade pipe guns. Four of the Christian youth were killed, and another six critically wounded. . The terrorists were unable to kidnap a single soul, or burn down any of the homes in the village. One observer told Truth Nigeria: “[The Fulani] attacked from four sides at the same time, at 11:45 pm Friday night.” And he said. “Our town has about 2000 homes, a small police post, a bank, two primary School and a High School. . .It is a Christian town, and we are expanding all the times because of high birthrates.” “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.” (John 15:13) Praise God for the courage of a few young men.  Would you pray for Nigerian Christians this Christmas season. And be sure to support equippingthepersecuted.org — the ministry most focussed on supporting the persecuted saints in Nigeria.  David Comes in Second at the Box Office A Mormon-owned film company, Angel Studios has made another mark on the US Box Office with an animated release on the biblical David. David came in second, behind Avatar at the weekend box office, with $22 million gross receipts. Angel Studios is best known for their production of the films, “Sound of Freedom” and “His Only Son.” Earlier this year, Angel Studios produced “King of kings” — an animated film on the Life of Christ — pulling down $80 million total receipts. Hallmark Features Sexual Perversion Hallmark Channel enters its sixth year of producing Christmas films featuring couples engaged in relationships characterized by sexual perversion. While Hallmark is running after the homosexual market, the pro-homosexual lobby has issued some disappointment over the drop-off of mainstream media support for their perversions. The 2025 GLAAD Studio Responsibility Index shows Hollywood studios decreasing LGBTQ characterization by 24%, 27%, and 29% respectively in the years 2023, 2024, and 2025. 1 John 2:17 reminds us that “the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” Bolsonaro's Son to Run for President in Brazil Brazil's former conservative president has officially started serving his 27-year sentence for attempting to overturn the 2022 election results. Now, Jair Bolsonaro's son has announced he's running for president in 2026. Flavio Bolsonaro says he's conservative on taxes and spending, but more moderate on others. . . He told Reuters, that he's still good with COVID-19 vaccines. 43% of Churchgoers are Pro-Life A recent Family Research Center survey indicates some bad news for American Christians. Only 43% of churchgoers describe themselves now as pro-life, down from 63% two years ago. The survey looked at regular churchgoers — only 44% of the American population. Only 41% of churches bring up the topic of abortion multiple times a year. The Human Coalition, the Family Research Council, and other Christian leaders have issued a public letter to pastors in America pointing out that the life issue is a gospel issue. The letter, signed by Tony Perkins and Dr. Daniel Akin, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary exhorts pastors to 1. Preach the Gospel of Life with clarity and compassion. 2. Proclaim the truth that every unborn child is sacred. 3. Offer the hope of Christ to post-abortive men and women in your pews. And, 4. Equip. . .congregations to be defenders of the vulnerable. 30,000 Attend Turning Point's America Fest in Phoenix Turning Point's America Fest in Phoenix brought in 30,000 Charlie Kirk fans over the weekend. . . The event featured the Who's Who in America conservativism — Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Vivek Ramaswamy, Donald Trump Jr., and Vice President J.D. Vance. Rifts between the speakers surfaced — on issues related to America First nationalism and policy related to Israel. Younger Republicans are far more hesitant to support Israel than older Republicans, according to a recent You-Gov Survey. Taking one metric for instance, only 10% of twenty-something Republicans favor giving military support to Israel — compared to 49% of Republicans over 65 years of age.  InsiderAdvantage has released presidential approval numbers — Trump stands at 50%. . . The gender gap remains — 34% of American men disapprove of Trump's performance, against 47% of women registering disapproval. Gold Charges Upwards and Condo Prices Rise Gold is still charging upwards — now $4,438 per ounce, and silver upwards of $68 and change. Condo prices, seen as the canary warning in the mines for real estate — are sinking fast right now. Florida condos have dropped 15-30% from 2022 highs. Texas condo prices are down 15-20%, and Colorado Condos prices are down 10-15%. Add 11% for inflation and we're looking at a 20-40% contraction on the 2022 bubble.

The Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix was supposed to be a tribute to the work and legacy of Charlie Kirk, the influential conservative influencer who was assassinated in September. But it turned into something very different.Over the course of the weekend, it emerged that a struggle for very the heart and soul of the MAGA movement was playing out. Ben Shapiro took to the stage to warn of the "danger from charlatans who "traffic in conspiracism and dishonesty", slamming Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and Tucker Carlson. Carlson hit back, claiming it was "hilarious" that there were attempts to deplatform speakers at an event in Kirk's name. Others followed suit. Vivek Ramaswamy, Trump's one-time presidential rival, felt obliged to remind the audience that fans of Hitler or Stalin should not have a place in their movement.Enter JD Vance. Proudly declaring that "You don't have to apologise for being white anymore" in the USA, the vice president derided "endless, self-defeating purity tests" and suggesting the movement was, in fact, open to all. And he was given a boost by Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, who endorsed him for the 2028 race.So can JD Vance hold this movement together? Why won't he move to condemn the racism and conspiracy within his party? And what does it mean for MAGA ahead of a big election year?The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Dive into the fire on this explosive episode of "Joe Oltmann Untamed," where we expose the rotting core of American justice and political hypocrisy. Joe rips into the FBI as a complete joke while shining a relentless spotlight on the heartbreaking persecution of Tina Peters—a 70-year-old Gold Star Mom and first-time non-violent offender locked in a harsh Level 3 Colorado prison for daring to defend election integrity. With the DOJ offering to transfer her to a low-security federal Level 1 facility only for Colorado to cruelly refuse, we ask: is this deliberate cruel and unusual punishment? Powerful clips from Rocky Mountain Voice and Kyle Clark lay bare the injustice, while Governor Polis gets called out for his role in this outrage. This isn't just Tina's fight—it's a gut-wrenching warning of what happens when whistleblowers are silenced.Shifting to hope and defiance, automotive genius and truth-teller Casey Putsch joins Joe live after announcing his bold run for Ohio Governor. From turbine Batmobiles to mentoring the next generation through Genius Garage, Casey brings his unfiltered “Casey the Car Guy” fury to politics—ready to take on Vivek Ramaswamy, restore manufacturing, end indoctrination in schools, and smash the corrupt establishment. This is the outsider Ohio needs: a wrench-wielding warrior who won't sell out. Joe delivers raw truth, righteous anger, and real solutions—tune in and join the fight before it's too late!The message rings louder than ever: America is at a crossroads where patriots like Tina Peters pay with their freedom for exposing corruption, while hypocrites like Michael Bennet lecture us on an economy their own party wrecked. But hope roars in from Ohio with Casey Putsch—a real builder, mentor, and fighter stepping up to reclaim his state from the elites. This isn't just another show; it's a battle cry. The injustice against Tina is our injustice, the fight for honest elections is our fight, and leaders like Casey prove we still have warriors ready to take the wheel. Tune in, wake up, share the truth, and refuse to stay silent—because if we don't stand now, the America we love will be gone forever. Stay Untamed!

NPR's "Books We Love" list for 2025 Each year, NPR staff help assemble their "Books We Love" list, offering more than 350 reading suggestions for all kinds of interests. The thought of parsing through that many recommendations might seem intimidating, but it's more manageable than you might think, because the list is divided into categories based on specific topics like "Historical Fiction," "Mysteries and Thrillers," "For Art Lovers," "Science!" and "It's All Geek To Me," to name a few. Monday on the "Sound of Ideas," Ideastream Public Media's Coordinating Producer Drew Maziasz and NPR Arts Desk Reporter Andrew Limbong share a few selections from the 2025 list, for the avid reader looking for their next paperback, hardcover, digital read or audio book. Guests:- Drew Maziasz, "Sound of Ideas" Coordinating Producer- Andrew Limbong, NPR Arts Desk Reporter Vivek Ramaswamy shares top priorities if elected Ohio governor The two major political parties won't elect their candidates to run for Ohio governor until May 2026, but both the Ohio Republican party and President Donald Trump have already endorsed Vivek Ramaswamy in the race. On Monday's edition of "Sound of Ideas," we share a conversation with the GOP frontrunner covering his priorities if elected, his message to people concerned about health insurance premiums going up, what he's learned from voters on his 88 county tour in Ohio, and more. Last month, we talked with the leading Democratic candidate for Ohio governor, Dr. Amy Acton. You can find that full conversation here. Guest:- Vivek Ramaswamy, Republican candidate for Ohio governor

Is Trump's health exposing how broken healthcare really is - and why does the idea of a preventative MRI make politicians and doctors lose their minds? From Trump's preventative MRI and the healthcare gatekeeping meltdown that followed, to a viral Dave Smith debate that shows how libertarianism collapses when it turns into rigid dogma, this episode pulls back the curtain on why systems built on signaling over solutions always fail. We dig into why early detection scares bureaucracies, how ideology becomes useless when it ignores human reality, and why common sense keeps getting drowned out by people protecting their rules instead of real outcomes. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Then we shift to Ohio politics, Vivek Ramaswamy, and why the Libertarian Party keeps sabotaging real liberty wins by chasing purity instead of results, before closing with the outrage storm around Falcons running back Bijan Robinson and what it reveals about free speech, culture, and the modern outrage economy. This is a real-world, no-BS breakdown of liberty, responsibility, and why adults need to start acting like adults again. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

It's Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report On today's program: National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett has been making the media rounds, spreading misinformation by claiming that prices are falling across the board and that there is no job crisis. Instead, he insists we're simply in a "quiet time," arguing that AI has made current employees so productive that employers no longer need to hire new college graduates. Journalist Murtaza Hussain, who covers national security and foreign affairs for Drop Site News, joins the show to discuss his four-part series on Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Israeli intelligence. Check out Murtaza's incredible reporting here. In the Fun Half: Trump has a third annual physical this year, seems like he is hiding some sort of medical issue or treatment. On CNN, Epstein biographer Barry Levine believes that the reference to the Trump being "the dog that hasn't barked" indicates that Trump was an informant to the Palm Beach investigation into Epstein. The Washington Post released a video that syncs Jeffrey Epstein's texts to the Virgin Islands' delegate to Congress with questions asked during a hearing. Vivek Ramaswamy is asked about what he would do as governor of Ohio to combat child poverty and he gives an answer that vacillates between nonsense and misinformation. Trump and Majorie Taylor-Greene trade jabs as MTG tries to carve out her own space in the GOP. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) stops short of endorsing Chuck Schumer when asked if he still supports him as Senate minority leader. All that and more The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.
