Former Missouri State Senator John Lamping joins Marc Cox to discuss conservative losses in low-turnout April elections, arguing that off-cycle voting heavily favors organized groups like teachers and first responders. Lamping explains that conservatives often fail to mobilize without a compelling issue, contributing to recent school board and tax measure outcomes. The conversation then shifts to confusion surrounding property tax caps and local government hesitancy to implement voter-approved measures. Lamping criticizes the complexity of ballot initiatives and suggests eliminating April elections altogether to increase participation. Later, Lamping weighs in on tensions between Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV over Iran policy, noting the political risks of clashing with Catholic voters. He also references efforts by JD Vance to ease tensions and warns that political messaging could impact midterm elections and long-term policy goals.

The hour continues with a broader entertainment rundown including Jimmy Failla at The Factory in Chesterfield and Seth Meyers performing locally. The tone pivots again into serious international coverage with Fox News Radio's Eben Brown reporting that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted amid ongoing Iran-related tensions, fragile ceasefire dynamics, and uncertainty over negotiating parties inside Iran. Brown also details continued cyber and communications blackouts within Iran, with internet suppression limiting civilian communication and complicating information flow. The show closes by tying global instability back to broader geopolitical strategy, energy security, and U.S. influence abroad, ending on reflections about how rapidly shifting international power dynamics could reshape American interests.

Send us Fan MailOn this new episode of the Two Kens Podcast, Ken Fong and I sit down at a moment that feels like a hinge point in the American story. From the looming threat of a government shutdown to urgent debates over immigration reform and a President's competency, we're asking what kind of country we're becoming—and who gets to shape that future.We walk through the surprising political momentum we're seeing in 2025, where Democrats have been quietly flipping seats and building toward what could be a transformative midterm election. At the same time, we wrestle with troubling rhetoric coming out of national leadership—language that blurs the line between faith and power, raising real concerns about pluralism, democracy, and the soul of the nation.We also take an unflinching look at leadership itself—what we're seeing, what we're hearing, and what it may suggest about cognitive decline, communication, and the weight of age in high office. It's not about cheap shots; it's about clarity, responsibility, and truth.We express our hope that the courts, the Constitution, and most importantly, the electorate still hold the line. The path forward is clear: pay attention, stay engaged, and make sure we all truly see what's at stake.SHOW NOTES | Ken's SubstackSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

The latest study conducted for the Electoral Commission by the Human Sciences Research Council points to a troubling decline in South Africans’ belief in democracy, with the “demand for democracy” falling from 65% in the early 2000s to just 26% today, driven by growing frustration over corruption, poor service delivery, and a widening gap between political promises and delivery. Concerns are also being raised about declining trust in institutions such as the Electoral Commission of South Africa, alongside alarmingly low voter registration figures and fears of even lower turnout in upcoming elections. Lawson Naidoo, Executive Secretary of the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution, speaks to John Maytham about what this means for the future of South Africa’s democratic system and the risks of governments being elected by an ever-smaller share of the population. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

She was born on this day in 1983, as if you wanted to feel kind of old. you folks, gosh, I wish everybody knew. 01:43 how much power they actually have over what happens in this state. I wish you knew how much power you have. 01:59 last primary, non-presidential primary election. 02:06 We had a 13 and a half percent voter turnout. That means that 86.5 % of the people let 13 and a half percent determine what their lives were gonna be like. Now that's the voters, that was the voter turnout we had in the last non-presidential primary election, 13 and a half percent. 02:36 I'm sorry. I'm not one of these people that's going to allow 13 % of the people to determine what happens in my state. Not going to do it. You shouldn't be one of those people either. You should be part of that number that shows up to the polls and you can make big changes. Right now in Columbia, if there's any place in your life 03:05 that needs changing right now. 03:09 It's Columbia, South Carolina. 03:13 at our state capitol. Gotta get a new governor. Got to. Sorry, Henry McMaster has done nothing, nothing but hide. 03:26 Our Senate is about as corrupt as it gets, and our house is full of rhinos. 03:34 absolutely jam-packed full of rhinos. In fact, it is so bad in Columbia that on the occasion that a good person does get elected, they try to run them out of town. They literally want to be a capital full of thugs and thieves. And everybody there, and the only people they're robbing is us. 04:00 They wanted to be, they are a gang of, oh my gosh, they're here. So now they're going over the budget. All right. 04:10 So, the House today voted to spend your taxpayer dollars, I want to thank Adam Morgan for this, your taxpayer dollars here in South Carolina are going to all of these things that you really love, like climate change research. That's right. They're spending your tax dollars on climate change research. They're spending your tax dollars on corporate welfare, on lewd art exhibits. 04:39 They want to give money to Hollywood to bring Hollywood here to South Carolina. 04:46 They want to spend money on sports marketing. 04:51 I hate to tell you, when I elect somebody to go to Columbia, I don't want them to go to Columbia and do sports marketing. Remember the last budget? Remember last year's budget? They spent $900,000. 05:07 to start, and that's the key word, to start. 05:12 a podcast about the South Carolina at the Sports Hall of Fame. $900,000. I made a very generous offer. I'd do it for $500,000, save them $400,000 right there off the bat. Do know how much it starts to, it takes to start a podcast? Literally, you could do it for 200 bucks. 05:37 It's not even a big deal. Okay, so. 05:43 Here we are in South Carolina, supposed to be Ruby Red, South Carolina. 05:50 and the liberal guy that I know well from down in the low country, Leon Stavronakis. He's the chairman. For some reason, a radical leftist Democrat is the chair of the budget subcommittee that controls funding for the Commerce Department, the Arts Commission, and a whole lot more. His committee, which doles out millions of tax dollars to liberal priorities, including for a lesbian podcast last year, 06:21 is comprised of a majority of Democrats despite the fact that South Carolina has a Republican supermajority. The Democrats are controlling 06:30 the budget subcommittee. 06:35 Did you know there's not a single strong conservative on the Ways and Means Committee which creates the state budget? 06:45 And according to Adam Morgan, t ...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWSomething unusual happened in the Texas primary and it should have people paying attention. Democratic voter turnout surged to levels that normally don't happen in midterm cycles. When that kind of participation shows up in a state like Texas, it raises a much bigger question about the political energy building across the country and what it could mean for the races that will decide control of Washington.If momentum like that spreads beyond one state, the ripple effects could be enormous. Several Senate races are already sitting on a political fault line and the balance of power in Washington may be far less stable than it looks right now.Another political problem is brewing inside Washington itself. A Senate hearing involving Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took a turn that surprised a lot of people when criticism started coming from both Democrats and Republicans. When pressure starts building from both sides of the aisle, the political clock can start ticking very quickly.At the same time the conflict with Iran is creating a second battle back home over how the war is being explained to the public. Pentagon officials insist the mission's working. Reporters are asking a completely different set of questions about where this conflict could lead and how long it could last.Then there's the situation facing Americans trying to leave the Middle East as the conflict grows. Citizens have been told to call a government number if they need help getting out. What some callers say they hear when they reach that number raises serious questions about planning, responsibility, and whether anyone in Washington actually has a real evacuation strategy. Or if anyone in Washington actually cares?The turnout shock in Texas, the growing tension in Washington, and the troubling situation facing Americans overseas are all colliding at the same moment. I dig into what's happening and why it matters.I'm Jeff Alan Wolf and this is A World Gone Mad.What are your thoughts? Please let me know.WolfPackTalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

Why Democrats Keep Losing: Abandoning Voters, Misreading Power & Repeating the Same Errors | The Karel Show At a recent California forum featuring Democratic candidates for governor, LGBTQ issues weren't mentioned at all. Not once. That silence says more than any speech. Then Elizabeth Warren suggested that to “win,” Democrats should abandon social issues and focus only on affordability. The strategy? Shed the so-called distractions, chase the middle, and assume marginalized voters have nowhere else to go. That logic is exactly how Democrats lose. When core voters feel erased, they don't switch parties — they stay home. And staying home is how elections are lost. Again. Meanwhile, Donald Trump retreats in Minneapolis — but is it far too late? And as Democrats threaten to fire or impeach Kristi Noem, a simple question hangs in the air: if the votes exist to impeach her, why not him? We also break down a viral Reddit post mocking The Farmer's Wife over a $22 grilled cheese — a pile-on that led to both locations shutting down. Why are individual restaurants being publicly shamed while massive grocery chains and corporate food pricing escape the same scrutiny? This episode asks a hard but necessary question: When will Democrats stop misreading their own coalition — and start fighting like they actually want to win? The Karel Show is live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST, streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker, and more — and simulcast on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

Iraq Elections and Yemen's Houthi Crackdown Guest: Bridget Toomey Bridget Toomey discussed recent developments in Iraq and Yemen, noting that Iraqi parliamentary elections saw a higher-than-expected 56% voter turnout, with preliminary results suggesting Shiite parties close to Tehran performed well and might secure enough seats to form the next government, despite internal infighting and votes remaining largely sectarian, while Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received credit for stability and his party performed strongly, though many Iraqis doubt the elections affect real change, believing critical decisions are made via elite backroom deals, and turning to Yemen, the Houthis announced the arrest of a purported Saudi-American-Israeli spy ring, a paranoid crackdown following Israel's successful targeting of Houthi government and military leaders in August, with arrests including 59 UN workers and prosecutors requesting the death sentence for 21, aiming to intimidate domestic dissent and signal resolve to Western and regional adversaries, especially in sensitive Houthi locations in Sana'a. 1939

In this episode, Tudor sits down with Steve Hilton to break down how decades of Democrat dominance have driven California into decline—from skyrocketing homelessness and stifling regulations to election integrity concerns and failed disaster recovery. Hilton explains why California’s collapse is a warning for the rest of America and outlines how conservatives can fight back, rebuild communities, and make the Golden State thrive again. They also discuss the growing influence of women in politics and why grassroots Republican engagement is key to real change.
