Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they explore the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, weighing its upsides and potential dangers. They also dive into why DC-area drivers rank among the worst in the nation, offering some humorous observations.First, they celebrate the end of the Assad regime, marking the conclusion of more than 50 years of brutality and oppression. They discuss how Assad's fall weakens Iran and undermines its terrorist allies in the Middle East. This is also a big embarrassment for Russia. While President Biden tries to claim credit, Jim and Greg provide a dose of reality on who deserves recognition.Next, they analyze the troubling implications of Assad's downfall. The rebel coalition includes extremist leaders with close ties to Al Qaeda and ISIS, raising serious doubts about the possibility of a moderate or democratic future in Syria. They also highlight the danger of the U.S. supporting groups with such alarming histories and intentions.Finally, they lighten the mood with a new Lending Tree report showing that DC-area drivers are among the worst in the nation - especially in the District of Columbia and in Maryland - when it comes to speeding, accidents, drunk driving and more. They explain how this data only confirms what they already knew from driving on and around the Beltway. Please visit our great sponsors:Lumenhttps://lumen.me/3MLVisit Lumen.me/3ML for 15% off your purchase.NetSuitehttps://NetSuite.com/MARTINIDownload your FREE CFO's Guide to AI and Machine Learning at NetSuite.com/MARTINIOmaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comSave 50% off sitewide during the Christmas gift buying season and be sure to use promo codeTHREE ML for an extra $30 off.

It's the Friday news roundup! Things are heating up again over the potential sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel, based in Japan. As a federal review continues, President Biden looks poised to block the acquisition. Meanwhile, company executives are hosting rallies Downtown. Pittsburgh City Council signed off on a new eviction protection program for renters, former mayor Bill Peduto's twitter got hacked, and with all the political candidates cycling through Western Pennsylvania, there were sure to be haters over Tim Walz's recent MilkShake Factory order. If you have any U.S. Steel tea or want to add something we shared, please call or text us at 412-212-8893. We always cite our sources: While President Biden's ready to block Nippon Steel's acquisition of U.S. Steel, the CEO U.S. Steel said that without the sale, thousands of jobs will be at risk, and the company's headquarters might need to leave Pittsburgh. In a recent visit, VP and presidential candidate Kamala Harris said that U.S. Steel should remain American-owned and American-operated.  About 400 U.S. Steel employees rallied Downtown in support of the sale, but the union's previously joined lawmakers in opposing the deal. The union supported a $7.3B offer from Cleveland-Cliffs, but U.S. Steel turned down the offer saying it was “unreasonable.”  The union's concerned about loopholes in the current agreement, including one that lets Nippon Steel abandon promises in the case of “unanticipated or significant downturn in business conditions.” But for now, Nippon Steel committed to making $2.7B in improvements to our steel mills. City Council approved $2 million from the Stop the Violence fund to assist renters facing eviction. This is an expansion of a pilot program that prevented evictions in about three out of four cases. If you're looking for a new rental unit, there are six things you need to know before you sign a lease, and if you get in a dispute with your landlord, there's other options besides going to court like mediation. Neighbors living in a Highland Park duplex have been in a battle to one-up each other's political lawn signs, and it's getting intense this election season. Political candidates are dropping big bucks in our state! AdImpact shows a combined $350M spent in PA. The most money was spent in Philly, but Pittsburgh came in second, with $83M put in our local market.  VP candidate Tim Walz's visit to Western PA included a stop at the MilkShake Factory and a farm in Fayette County.  Learn more about the sponsors of this September 6th episode: Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Pittsburgh Recovery Walk Babbel Become a member of City Cast Pittsburgh at membership.citycast.fm.

While President Biden continues to be out of the picture, his Administration just pledged full support to Israel after its shocking attack on both Tehran and Beirut in the past 24 hours. Will the feckless Administration allow the US to be dragged into war in the region?

This development underscores the high stakes of the upcoming 2024 election, particularly in the realm of climate policy. While President Biden has implemented numerous regulations aimed at addressing climate change, Trump, who has a history of rolling back such regulations and dismissing climate change as a hoax, presents a starkly different approach. The intersection of Trump's skepticism towards climate science and penchant for corruption poses a significant challenge and opportunity for the Biden campaign. This recent revelation highlights the critical importance of the election in shaping the future direction of environmental policy. Recent polls indicate that a significant portion of voters lack awareness of President Biden's major domestic accomplishments, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, which featured substantial climate investments and green incentives for both businesses and individuals. Furthermore, there is a lack of understanding among voters regarding Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan, with some mistakenly attributing similar achievements to former President Trump, despite his failure to deliver on infrastructure promises during his tenure. This highlights the urgent need for the Biden campaign to educate the public on how his policies positively impact their communities. In contrast, Trump's apparent willingness to prioritize personal gain by making promises to oil companies further underscores the contrasting approaches of the two leaders on critical issues like climate and infrastructure.

This Day in Legal History: Britain Outlaws the Slave TradeOn March 25, 1807, a pivotal moment in legal history occurred with the passage of a British bill that effectively abolished the transatlantic slave trade. This landmark legislation, known as the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, marked a significant victory for the abolitionist movement, which had long campaigned against the inhumane practice of trafficking enslaved individuals. Spearheaded by figures such as William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson, the act reflected growing societal awareness of the moral and ethical implications of slavery. Despite resistance from vested interests and economic concerns, the abolitionist movement succeeded in securing the passage of this transformative law, which prohibited British subjects from participating in the buying or selling of enslaved people. The enactment of the Abolition Act not only set a precedent for international efforts to combat slavery but also fueled momentum for broader emancipation movements worldwide. However, it's crucial to note that while the act abolished the trade in slaves, it did not immediately abolish slavery itself within the British Empire. Nonetheless, this pivotal legislation laid the groundwork for subsequent legal reforms aimed at eradicating the institution of slavery altogether. The passage of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act stands as a testament to the power of legal action in advancing social justice and human rights, leaving an indelible mark on legal history and shaping the trajectory of abolitionist movements for generations to come. However it also reflects the half-measures and overall slow pace of change in expanding human rights that plagued the 19th century in a way that resonates to this day. Donald Trump faces a pressing deadline, with just hours remaining to cover a staggering $454 million civil fraud judgment, or risk the seizure of some of his prime properties in New York. The judgment, issued by Justice Arthur Engoron on February 16, accuses Trump of manipulating his net worth and property values to deceive lenders and insurers. Despite Trump's vocal denials and claims of innocence, the judgment poses a significant threat to his public image as a successful businessman, particularly as he seeks to secure the presidency once more. The looming financial challenges extend beyond this case, with Trump's campaign fundraising lagging behind his political rival's. The potential seizure targets iconic Trump properties such as Trump Tower and 40 Wall Street, as well as assets in Westchester County, including a golf course and a sprawling estate. Trump's legal team faces hurdles in securing a bond to cover the judgment, with 30 surety companies reportedly rejecting their requests. Meanwhile, Trump's financial woes are compounded by other legal battles, including criminal charges and defamation lawsuits. Despite recent developments, such as investor approval for a $5.7 billion deal involving his Truth Social platform, uncertainties remain regarding Trump's ability to meet his financial obligations. The civil fraud case, along with other legal challenges, continues to strain Trump's finances and raise questions about his future prospects.Trump has hours to cover $454 million judgment or risk property seizure | ReutersIf Congress compels ByteDance Ltd. to sell TikTok Inc. under threat of a US ban, the social media giant is likely to invoke First Amendment arguments, mirroring successful defenses in Montana. This potential lawsuit would confront free speech concerns against federal authority to restrict a foreign-owned platform used by over 150 million Americans. TikTok, armed with strong legal arguments, asserts its right to operate a speech-hosting platform, with users similarly contending that a ban infringes on their expression rights. A recent federal court ruling in Montana, blocking a state ban on TikTok, underscores the First Amendment challenges such legislation faces. Despite bipartisan support in the House, the bill mandating divestiture faces Senate uncertainty. While President Biden is inclined to sign, TikTok intends to exhaust legal options before considering divestiture. The debate highlights the clash between national security concerns and free speech rights, with lawmakers emphasizing China's potential data access and influence through TikTok. However, First Amendment experts argue that even legitimate national security concerns must withstand free speech scrutiny. Past legal precedents, including cases involving foreign ownership and speech restrictions, inform the ongoing debate over TikTok's fate.TikTok Free Speech Rights Offer a Bulwark Against a Forced SaleTerraform Labs and its founder, Do Kwon, are embroiled in a legal battle in Manhattan, facing charges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for allegedly deceiving investors prior to the 2022 collapse of two cryptocurrencies. The SEC accuses them of misrepresenting the stability of TerraUSD and making unfounded claims about the use of Terraform's blockchain in a mobile payment app in Korea. Kwon, who is the brain behind TerraUSD and Luna, is under arrest in Montenegro, pending extradition to South Korea, following the $40 billion debacle caused when TerraUSD lost its peg to the dollar. The SEC's lawsuit further alleges that Kwon and Terraform Labs manipulated TerraUSD's price through third-party purchases to falsely showcase the algorithm's effectiveness. Despite these serious allegations, Kwon and his company refute any misconduct, claiming their statements have been misinterpreted by the SEC. A partial victory for the SEC came in December when Judge Jed Rakoff ruled in its favor, albeit dismissing some charges related to security-based swaps. The determination of damages against Terraform, which declared bankruptcy in January, remains pending, with the potential to exceed the company's current assets.Terraform Labs' civil fraud trial set to begin in New York | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

At least one of our viewers isn't happy about Farron's recent plea with people to suck it up and vote for President Biden over Donald Trump due to the threat that Trump poses to the country. The issue, according to the viewer, is that Farron has failed to call out the corruption of the Democratic Party over their refusal to actually hold a primary.Also, recent reports have shown that the allies of the United States are terrified about what could happen to them if Donald Trump gets back into office. Not only is he threatening to undo the support that they enjoy from the US, but he's also overly friendly with the people that are considered to be their (and our) enemies. Trump is a threat of global proportions, and our allies understand that better than anyone.And Donald Trump's mental problems go far beyond just a few gaffes here and there. While President Biden is forgetful and has gotten a little slower in recent years, Trump's mental problems are fueled by rage and narcissism, making him far more dangerous than a forgetful old man. In fact, given Trump's refusal to live in reality, many think that he could be suffering from a serious, and dangerous, mental illness. Finally, recent reports have told us that Donald Trump's Super PACs are quickly running out of money and could be totally bankrupt by the start of July. This is due to them having to pay all of his legal fees. But with the recent legal judgments against Trump, it isn't just his Super PACs that could be bankrupt - he, personally, could be bankrupt in a short amount of time, too. Is it possible that Trump could be a penniless candidate by the convention? Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalanced/Twitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=en

The World Health Organization holds more control over U.S. sovereignty and that of the free world than most people know. While President Biden was among the 150-plus countries who complied with a U.N. pact giving the WHO full governing authority during what it feels like deeming a "health emergency," that power extends into dictating worldwide lockdowns (at least within the afore-mentioned signee nations), forced vaccines and rules set by these unelected "officials" to assert political policy during such times. How far can the WHO go, why would they and who/what is behind it?

President Joe Biden was questioned about the campaign to remove President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot. While President Biden did not directly comment on the Colorado case, he backed the narrative for it, claiming that President Trump engaged in an insurrection and so should be denied a future run for president. In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we'll discuss this topic and others and answer questions from the audience. Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.   ⭕️

While President Biden is hemorrhaging support, support for third party candidates is at an all-time high. The Washington Post reports that they're seeing their best polls since Ross Perot. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy has drawn millions of dollars from donors who didn't give to either candidate in the last two elections. Boyd breaks down what we're seeing.

The drama in Washington continues, as a vote for House Speaker ends with Jim Jordan failing to get enough votes. While President Biden is heading to Israel for a high-stakes trip. We'll tell you all you need to know.Plus, markets are reacting to a stronger-than-expected retail sales number. Can the consumer keep holding up the economy? Or will a strong economy give the Fed cause to raise rates one more time? We'll explore.

A Week Of Climate Protests, Meetings, Pledges, And ActionClimate Week NYC is wrapping up, where hundreds of events took place across the city (including one from Science Friday), all with the goal of encouraging conversation and action around our climate crisis.The weeklong event takes place alongside the UN General Assembly meeting, where world leaders discussed climate change, alongside other topics, including the war in Ukraine and universal health coverage.While President Biden emphasized the importance of reducing the use of fossil fuels to combat climate change, there was a notable absence of leaders from the world's biggest polluters, including Biden and president Xi Jinping of China, from the meeting's Climate Ambition Summit. UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that in order to participate, governments need to come with “credible, serious and new climate action.”Large demonstrations also took place across the city, pressuring leaders and companies to take bigger action to end gas, oil, and coal use.Swapna Krishna, a journalist based in Philadelphia, talks with Ira about these stories and more, including a new climate jobs program from the White House, a lawsuit from California against the five big oil companies, new battery recycling rules from the EU, and data from the Parker Solar Probe's recent flight through a sun explosion. Can Earth's Past Climate Help Us Understand Today's Crisis?A combination of factors led to Earth's climate being able to support life. And changes in the climate some 6,000 years ago created the conditions for human civilization to flourish. It's a delicate balance on the verge of collapse, due to our reliance on burning fossil fuels.Ira talks with paleoclimatologist Dr. Michael Mann about his forthcoming book Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth's Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis, about the importance of understanding our planet's climate history, and strategies to get policymakers to take action before it's too late to reverse some of the worst consequences of climate change.Mann is a professor of earth and environmental science and director of the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media at the University of Pennsylvania, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Read an excerpt of the book on sciencefriday.com The Climate Movement Should Be FunnierHow do you know that climate change is funny? Even the Antarctic ice sheets are cracking up.The climate crisis is no joke, but that doesn't mean we can't laugh about it. Research suggests that comedy is a powerful way to connect people and get them to empathize with a cause—and the climate crisis is a pretty big one.So what does science say about the power of a good laugh? And how does that fit into the climate movement?Ira talks with Esteban Gast, comedian in residence at the clean energy non-profit Generation 180, and Dr. Caty Borum, executive director of the Center for Media & Social Impact at American University. To stay updated on all-things-science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

It's time for Inside Sources' inside look at this week's presidential politics. While President Biden has been on the campaign trail touting the Inflation Reduction Act, Boyd explains why the Camp David summit is better for him politically. Tim Scott is also having a moment, making an impression among voters. And 9 GOP candidates have qualified for the debate next week.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nearly two years after the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban regime has reconstituted its Islamic Emirate and returned to draconian policies that are in grave violation of fundamental human rights. While President Biden and the Taliban alike claim al-Qaeda is not active in Afghanistan, recent United Nations monitoring shows al-Qaeda leaders are embedded in key Afghan ministries, with the group running training camps, safe houses, and media operations across multiple Afghan provinces. Terror groups such as the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan enjoy free reign, while threats from the Islamic State persist.To prevent Afghanistan from further collapsing into a hub for terrorism, the West must pursue a clear-eyed security strategy that imposes due costs on the Taliban and eliminates safe havens for Islamic extremists.To discuss the situation on the ground, barriers to security, and the best path forward for policymakers, FDD will host a live, virtual panel featuring Kathy Gannon, former news director and chief correspondent for the Associated Press, who has covered Afghanistan and Pakistan for 35 years; Edmund Fitton-Brown, former British diplomat and coordinator of the UN Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team concerning the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and the Taliban; and Bill Roggio, FDD senior fellow and editor of FDD's Long War Journal. The discussion will be moderated by NBC News national security and global affairs reporter, Dan De Luce.

Election Day 2024 is more than 16 months away, but the first Republican debate is less than two months away and voters in the first primary and caucus states will be casting their ballots in just a few months. Today, Jim and Greg examine the state of the campaign in three different ways.First, they look at the Democratic primary. While President Biden has a commanding lead over Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Marianne Williamson, the enthusiasm - even among Democrats - is very low for another four years of Biden. Will the Democrats stick with Biden regardless of his approval numbers and mounting evidence of physical and mental decline? Then they pivot to the Republican primary, where former President Trump has opened a big lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis both nationally and increasingly in the states. Is the GOP base loyalty towards Trump locked in and virtually irreversible or is there an avenue for DeSantis or anyone else to close the gap.Finally, they preview a likely Biden-Trump rematch and consider how much the electorate has changed in the past few years. Will Biden's poor performance be enough of a boost for Trump or will Trump's focus on 2020 and his legal challenges lead to another four years for Biden?Timestamps:1:07 - The Democrats are gambling on Joe Biden again9:18 - The curious case of Kamala Harris10:48 - The GOP primary.

While President Biden and Speaker McCarthy each face tough questions from members of their parties, a debt ceiling bill to avoid a potentially catastrophic default is headed to a House vote. Glenn Thrush, Carol Lee, Conor Lamb, Judd Legum, Mark McKinnon, Tony Plohetski, Scott Budman, and Bill Cohan join.

While President Biden is in Japan for the G7 conference, the White House says Democratic negotiators are making progress in their debt ceiling talks. Raymond James' Ed Mills explains the latest. Plus, Deere reports earnings this morning, offering insight into the state of the economy. D.A. Davidson's Michael Shlisky discusses his expectations. And, new research suggests more traders are favoring bonds over stocks as the US3M hits new highs this week. Apex Financial's Lee Baker, Main Street Asset Management's Erin Gibbs, and Pivotal Invests' Tiffany McGhee break down their investment strategies.

While President Biden is currently overseas, there is a delegation in Washington from both parties who are working on a deal to raise the debt ceiling. One of the biggest issues has been President Biden's refusal to negotiate on cuts, but instead continue spending as usual. Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma released a video earlier today discussing the ways in which the government dropped the ball on wasteful spending and the debt ceiling. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The New York Post reports Ex-CIA Chief Mike Morell confessed to "helping Joe Biden" with a letter signed by complicit intelligence colleagues to deny the existence of the incriminating Hunter Biden laptop -- a move which arguable altered the results of the 2020 Presidential election.While President Biden's camp is planning his announcement to run again in 2024, Dr. Jerome Corsi also examines the economic situation in the US, where reliable economic data all point to a coming recession.Visit Dr. Corsi's The Truth Central website: https://www.TheTruthCentral.com'Follow Dr. Corsi on Twitter: @corsijerome1MyVitalC: https://www.thetruthcentral.com/myvitalc-ess60-in-organic-olive-oil/Swiss America: https://www.swissamerica.com/offer/CorsiRMP.phpPro Rapid Review: https://prorrt.com/thetruthcentralmembers/elBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-truth-central-with-dr-jerome-corsi--5810661/support.

After it was reported this week that Iran had more than 18 times the amount of enriched uranium it was allowed to have under the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Biden administration claimed Iran would need less than two weeks in order to finalize enrichment to produce the material needed for a nuclear bomb. https://twitter.com/i/status/1 630679650249654273 - Play Video Calling Iran's nuclear progress "remarkable," Defense Under Secretary for Policy Colin Kahl told the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that "it would take about twelve days" for Iran "to produce one bomb's worth of fissile material." Recent evaluations by the International Atomic Energy Agency found that Iran has managed to enrich some of its uranium stockpiles to 84 percent, just shy of the 90 percent enrichment needed for fissile material in a nuclear bomb. Kahl, as with everyone else in the Biden administration, sought to place blame for Iran's nuclear progress on the Trump administration's decision to withdraw from the JCPOA — blame the mainstream media quickly repeated — but the 2015 nuclear deal was flawed and mostly served as a massive payday for the murderous regime. What's more, the Biden administration has wasted years trying to negotiate a new deal with Iran, while Biden's own State Department has admitted Iran played the United States by using lengthy and unserious negotiations to continue ramping up its nuclear efforts as it feigned good faith efforts. While President Biden and his administration were apparently content to continue pursuing diplomacy despite Iran using negotiations for its latest kabuki theater production, Israel is taking the threat more seriously and calling for international deterrents to Iran's nuclear ambitions. To that end, Israel's "Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and National Security Council chief Tzachi Hanegbi are set to fly out early next week to Washington for talks on progress made in Iran's nuclear program," the Jerusalem Post reports. The situation is even more concerning given the deepening ties between Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea, and the fact that the United States' reaction to all this is being decided by Joe Biden — who has bungled multiple international incidents and hasn't shown himself able to present the United States as a powerful deterrent to bad actors on the world stage. https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2023/03/02/discover-to-track-gun-purchases/ Discover Card to Begin Tracking Gun Purchases in April Beginning in April 2023, Discover will become the first credit card issuer to track gun purchases made by their cardholders. On September 11, 2022, Breitbart News noted that Visa caved to pressure from gun control groups and New York Democrats, agreeing to flag gun and ammo purchases via a new sales categorization. The Associated Press observed that Mastercard and other major credit cards also agreed to flag gun sales. On March 2, 2023, the Independent Journal Review (IJR) reported that Discover will be first among credit card companies to track gun sales, inasmuch as the company will begin doing so in April. IJR explained, “Anyone using a Discover card to make a purchase in a gun store will have that purchase tracked, beginning in April.” There are over 55 million Discover cards in usage, so a lot of information on gun purchases can be gathered via that one company. Reuters pointed out Discover Financial Services was ahead of Visa and Mastercard in February 2023, noting that Discover would “allow its network to track purchases at gun retailers come April, making it the first among its peers to publicly give a date for moving ahead with the initiative, which is aimed at helping authorities probe gun-related crimes.” Discover told Reuters, “We remain focused on continuing to protect and support lawful purchases on our network while protecting the privacy of cardholders.” The code for tracking gun purchases was approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in September 2022, and an ISO representative indicated, “The decision to use the new merchant category code is eventually left up to the users in the industry.” https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-spends-nearly-100-million-house-migrants-hotels-after-out-state-busing?intcmp=tw_fnc NYC spends nearly $100 million to house migrants in hotels after out-of-state busing New York City’s public hospital system will spend more than $90 million to house migrants at hotels in the Big Apple through the spring, local reports found. The ​​New York City Health + Hospitals Corporation, which operates public hospitals and clinics in the city, is tasked with overseeing housing for the influx of illegal immigrants. The group’s CEO, Mitchell Katz, has approved spending millions on four hotels to house the migrants in Manhattan, the New York Post reported. Katz approved $40 million to go to the four-star hotel Row NYC near Times Square, another $28 million to the four-star Stewart Hotel near Madison Square Garden, $20 million to the three-star hotel the Watson in Hell’s Kitchen and another $5.8 million to the two-star Wolcott Hotel near the Empire State Building, the Post and online publication The City reported this month. All in, the cost for housing the migrants through the spring of this year sits at $93.8 million. At least 47,600 migrants have inundated the city since last year, including when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began sending buses of migrants to the city in August amid the ongoing border crisis. There are a total of seven "Humanitarian Response and Relief Centers" in the city, including the four hotels, housing at the Wingate by Wyndham Hotel in Long Island City, one at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal and another at the Holiday Inn in the Financial District. "Since the beginning of this humanitarian crisis, New York City has mounted a multi-agency response to ensure we are meeting our moral obligations and providing compassionate, comprehensive care to those arriving in our city," a spokesperson for Mayor Eric Adams told The City, "and NYC Health + Hospitals has been key in that response from the start." The housing plans have come with a series of issues, including Row NYC found to throw out nearly a ton of food each day, according to a hotel whistleblower who previously spoke to the Post. While late last month, a group of migrants who were staying at the Watson Hotel in Midtown Manhattan refused to leave the hotel – and even protested by sleeping in the streets – after city officials said they would be housed at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. Adams even slept at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal on the coldest night of the year earlier this month in an effort to fend off criticism that the facilities were lackluster. The mayor has meanwhile pleaded with the White House for more assistance from the government as the migrant population grows "I have a Republican governor dumping on my city," Adams said last month. "I have a Democratic governor dumping on my city. That is where the national government should have stepped in and said, ‘Wait a minute, let's coordinate this effort.’" Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis had also bused migrants to New York City and Chicago as the migrant crisis swelled in Denver and other areas, but announced a halt to the busing program last month after outcry from Adams and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

The institution, Mid-Vermont Christian School forfeited their first-round state tournament game against Long Trail because the team didn’t believe it was fair to play against a transgender athlete. They explained that their decision not to compete was based on concerns for player safety and fairness. Vermont state law permits transgender females to play in girls’ sporting leagues and prohibits discrimination based on gender identity. “We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” a statement from MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg said. “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.” The state acknowledged the school’s decision and thus, their self-elimination from the postseason proceedings. Vermont’s policy regarding transgender athletes has led to other controversies recently. In October, a middle school soccer coach from Randolph Union High School was suspended after he allegedly ‘misgendered’ a trans student. This action came in the course of him defending his daughter, who said she was uncomfortable with the individual being in the girls’ locker room. Also that month, administrators at the school banned members of the girls’ volleyball team after they also objected to sharing it with a fellow student who is biologically male. That situation lit a fire of controversy surrounding the Randolph school, which lies in a community with a population of fewer than 5,000 people. There were several verbal taunts exchanged, some even leading to threats of violence. Randolph Union High School draws national controversy over decision regarding transgender student...-Play Video 0:00-2:56 While the policy regarding transgender athletes varies on the state level in high school, it has a uniform policy at the next level. Current NCAA rules state that transgender women are allowed to participate in women’s sports after undergoing one year of testosterone suppression. During an April 2021 survey in the United States, 17 percent of male respondents and 24 percent of female respondents strongly supported allowing transgender girls to compete against other female athletes at the high school level.

The institution, Mid-Vermont Christian School forfeited their first-round state tournament game against Long Trail because the team didn’t believe it was fair to play against a transgender athlete. They explained that their decision not to compete was based on concerns for player safety and fairness. Vermont state law permits transgender females to play in girls’ sporting leagues and prohibits discrimination based on gender identity. “We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” a statement from MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg said. “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.” The state acknowledged the school’s decision and thus, their self-elimination from the postseason proceedings. Vermont’s policy regarding transgender athletes has led to other controversies recently. In October, a middle school soccer coach from Randolph Union High School was suspended after he allegedly ‘misgendered’ a trans student. This action came in the course of him defending his daughter, who said she was uncomfortable with the individual being in the girls’ locker room. Also that month, administrators at the school banned members of the girls’ volleyball team after they also objected to sharing it with a fellow student who is biologically male. That situation lit a fire of controversy surrounding the Randolph school, which lies in a community with a population of fewer than 5,000 people. There were several verbal taunts exchanged, some even leading to threats of violence. Randolph Union High School draws national controversy over decision regarding transgender student...-Play Video 0:00-2:56 While the policy regarding transgender athletes varies on the state level in high school, it has a uniform policy at the next level. Current NCAA rules state that transgender women are allowed to participate in women’s sports after undergoing one year of testosterone suppression. During an April 2021 survey in the United States, 17 percent of male respondents and 24 percent of female respondents strongly supported allowing transgender girls to compete against other female athletes at the high school level.

While President Biden has officially declared the COVID-19 pandemic “over,” America now faces a new challenge in the form of an overheating economy and high inflation, and the prospect of a Federal Reserve-induced recession is looming. In the latest Brookings Podcast on Economic Activity, David Wessel, director of the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy, spoke with Laurence Ball of Johns Hopkins University about his new paper, “Understanding U.S. inflation during the COVID era.” In the study, Ball and his co-authors find that the Fed may need to push unemployment higher than its 4.1% projection to return inflation to the 2% target.

It's important to think about the past sometimes before you can think about the future. And the past couple of years, fiscal policy and monetary policy has been nothing but accommodating. But when you're overly accommodating, that usually comes with repercussions down the road. And we are dealing with one of those repercussions now through inflation. While President Biden took a victory lap this week by cherry picking numbers, the majority of Americans are still getting crushed through ramped inflation which came in much higher than expected. The market dropped almost 5% because of mismanaged expectations all while we are approaching $31 Trillion of debt here in the United States. What does this mean for the overall economy & stock market? Will the recent rail-road strikes have an impact on the economy? All of this is covered in this week's "The Capitalist Investor" episode.Outline of This Episode:●  [2:23] Stock Market Mismanaged Expectations●  [15:01] National Debt Approaching $31T●  [21:56] Cancelled – Railroad Strike Causes Concern

While President Biden's student loan forgiveness sounds like a great idea to many, I believe it will actually make colleges more expensive in the long run. This increase in college fees will result in higher student debt in the future. The unintended consequences of Biden's actions far outweigh any short term benefit that will be seen by forgiving debt right now.  Support the JayMac for Congress

Robert Moriarty and Chen Lin Return. Michael Spreadborough, the Executive Co-Chairman of Novo Resources visits for the first time. On March 1, as Russia began invading the Ukraine, David Stockman said on this show, “Sanctioning Russia and taking away their ability to use the SWIFT system would be crazy as hell because it will hurt Americans as much as it hurts Russia!” While President Biden blames Putin for inflation, truth be told, thanks to his energy policies and COVID related supply chain shortages, inflation was rising rapidly even before the Ukraine war. But it wasn't Russia's invasion of the Ukraine that has caused energy prices to rise. Rather sanctions against Russia and disallowing the used of the SWIFT system for international trade in dollars and Euros that has dramatically cut the supply vital supplies to the west. Not only did those policies dramatically reduce supplies of oil and gas, thus leading to the highest consumer inflation in over 40 years, but they also forced Putin to tie the ruble to oil and gas and indirectly to gold. Since then, the ruble has been the strongest currency in the world! The post-1971 fiat Petro-dollar that enabled America to fund its empire through military force and subversive activities may be nearing an end because the laws of nature as they apply to debt/GDP ratios are driving America toward financial ruin while our adversaries run their economics in a much more responsible manner.

It was a dark day that transfixed America and the world when a sea of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, hoping to overturn Joe Biden's election victory. Five people died in the melee. Now -- seventeen months later -- the much anticipated first public hearings of the committee investigating the insurrection have taken place. Pamela Brown reports.  The other big issue on this week's agenda was gun violence. While President Biden says that he won't abuse his executive power to enact gun restrictions, a bipartisan group of senators say they are making progress on bills designed to prevent gun deaths. Few people are monitoring this as closely as Cameron Kasky, who was 17 years old when a gunman stormed his high school in Parkland, Florida in 2018. The massacre propelled him and other survivors to start a gun control movement which saw more than one million people flood the streets across the country in the 'March for Our Lives.' Now they've called for another march this Saturday. Cameron spoke to Christiane about whether he thinks there can be change.  Also on today's show: Actor Emma Thompson, antisemitism expert Deborah Lipstadt.

Elon Musk wants Twitter and, should the deal to sell it to him for $44 billion close, he's going to get it. But, then what? He says he wants more free speech on Twitter and recently said Donald Trump's lifetime ban should be lifted. Would Marjorie Taylor Greene or Steve Bannon be next? And does Musk's free speech mean propaganda and lies or harassment and threats?Then, it's college graduation season! Congrats to all the grads but, also, good luck: Most students today will be graduating with loan debts. While President Biden is expected to announce in coming weeks that the government will forgive at least $10,000 in debt for people making less than $125,000, there are still plenty of people who will be paying back loans for decades. We're digging into the debt question and how Americans think it should be solved.Finally, sticking with the graduation theme, our fun fact is about just that. But to really change it up, we found a poll from 1938!

On today's show, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's appeal to Congress. Why U.S. sanctions on Russian oil aren't the only thing raising gas prices. Plus, how the White House is enlisting TikTok influencers in the information war with Russia.Read more:On Wednesday morning, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed Congress, calling on the United States to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine. While President Biden has resisted calls to create a no-fly zone, he and other world leaders have been moved by Zelensky's appeals and the plight of Ukrainians. Biden this week pledged billions of dollars in aid to the war-torn country, and announced on Wednesday afternoon that the United States would be sending drones, anti-aircraft systems and other weapons to Ukraine. Western countries have also taken other drastic steps to punish and isolate Russia – including steps to wean the west off Russian oil and gas. Former energy reporter and Moscow Correspondent Will Englund reports on what sanctions on Russian oil could mean for Russia, for Europe, and for gas prices in the United States. The White House recently briefed TikTok creators and influencers on the war in Ukraine, as a way to combat disinformation from Russian propagandists on the popular platform. Taylor Lorenz is a tech columnist at The Post. She got a scoop on the Zoom call and explains what happened, if this is the right move, and what Russian disinformation about the war looks like.

America may find itself in a lot of trouble becasue of the leaders we have put in charge.

EXPOSED: Who's REALLY Running the Biden Administration. Glenn TV. https://youtu.be/DDfaZcNi8lQ 147,521 views Premiered Feb 16, 2022 BlazeTV 1.54M subscribers Over the past decade, some of the Left's favorite villains have been the Koch brothers and their big spending on Republican political causes. After the 2016 election, Democrats kicked their own dark money operation into overdrive. Glenn heads to the chalkboard to expose the far-left funding network that now DWARFS any spending by Republicans. $1.2 billion was spent to put Joe Biden in the White House and help Democrats gain control of Congress. But the dark money operatives didn't stop at securing the election. The funds are behind every major Democrat initiative, from picking Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee to ending the filibuster and changing voting laws. While President Biden bumbles through press conferences and slurps an ice cream, untouchable elites hiding behind nonprofits are using their wealth to ensure the progressive destruction of America. ► Subscribe to BlazeTV YouTube! https://bit.ly/2KJHuwu ► Join BlazeTV! https://get.blazetv.com/ ► Sign up for our NEWSLETTER: https://theblaze.com/newsletters Connect with us on Social Media: http://twitter.com/BlazeTV http://instagram.com/TheBlazeTV http://facebook.com/BlazeMedia WATCH more Glenn Beck: https://blazetv.com/glenn Blaze TV is highly recommended by ACU.

The big news out of Washington this week is the coming retirement of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. While President Biden and Senate Democrats will almost surely be able to nominate and confirm a new Justice, what could the implications of the process mean? Will it help Biden and Democrats in the midterms? Will Biden nominate a moderate - or more extreme judge? We talk all things SCOTUS, along with the debacle that is the Baseball Hall of Fame on today's podcast - Listen now! 

It's crunch time for negotiations over the Iran nuclear deal. That deal, the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), curtailed Iran's nuclear program in exchange for substantial sanctions relief. In 2018, President Trump unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from the agreement. Four years later, Iran is closer than ever to being able to develop a nuclear weapon. While President Biden came to office vowing to rejoin the deal, months of sustained indirect talks in Vienna this year have made only slow headway. There is a real danger that talks collapse, Iran's nuclear development continues and the U.S. faces a hard choice between accepting Iran as a nuclear threshold state – able to build a bomb even if not yet having done so – or trying to stop that happening, which could mean military strikes on Iran. This week on Hold Your Fire!, Richard Atwood and Naz Modirzadeh are joined by Crisis Group's Iran Project Director Ali Vaez. They discuss the current state of negotiations in Vienna, impediments to the U.S. and Iran getting back to compliance with the deal, and strategic calculations in Tehran and Washington, as well as in Europe, China, Russia and the Middle East. They talk about where Iran's nuclear program stands and what options exist if talks collapse. They also discuss what a potential military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities could look like and what risks it might entail. Ali also lays out how the parties could yet salvage the deal in a way that gives them enough of what they need even if not all of what they want. For more information, explore Crisis Group's analysis on our Iran regional page. Make sure to look out for our report coming out on Monday, ‘The Iran Nuclear Deal at Six: Now or Never'.

Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CodePink, joins us to discuss how the US prioritizes its spending. While President Biden has just signed $778 billion in new military spending into law, the U.S. Agency for International Development reportedly can't find the funds to pay for the Biden administration's effort to help vaccinate the world's population against COVID-19, according to two agency officials interviewed by Politico. Chris Hedges, investigative journalist, joins us to discuss Julian Assange. In his latest Common Dreams article, Chris posits that the legal precedent set by the sentencing of Assange means that "anyone who possesses classified information, or anyone who leaks it, will be guilty of a criminal offense." He further predicts that the sentencing of Assange will "signal the end of all investigative inquiries into the inner workings of power."Dr. Colin Campbell, DC senior news correspondent, joins us to discuss Rep. Pramila Jayapal warning that political disaster is in store for the Democrats if they fail to deliver in the New Year. Rep. Jayapal told her fellow lawmakers and the President on Sunday that "failure to deliver their promised social spending and climate agenda could have disastrous political consequences, feeding voter disillusionment and leaving millions of people without badly needed economic aid amid a deadly pandemic."James Carey, editor/co-owner at Geopoliticsalert.com, joins us to discuss the Middle East. Saudi military expert Mohammad al-Qabibaan defended the recent intense escalation of the Saudi-led coalition's bombardment campaign in Yemen during a recent appearance on RT Arabic, describing the relentless airstrikes of recent weeks as “successful operations” designed to force the Houthi Ansarullah movement to sit down at the negotiating table.Kweku Lamumba, external relations coordinator for KOSSA, joins us to discuss the kidnapping situation in Haiti. After the kidnapping of the 16 American missionaries and a Canadian in Haiti, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken initially said that the US will do "everything possible to resolve the situation" and even indicated that an FBI kidnapping team maintained contact with a church that the captured missionaries belonged to. Now there is "total silence, to the point of making people question even this act of kidnapping."Teri Mattson, Latin American coordinator for CodePink, joins us to discuss El Salvador. Teri discusses reports that a former senior Salvadoran anti-corruption prosecutor went on record to say that President Nayib Bukele's government closed down his unit's investigation into alleged allegations that the government struck a deal with the MS-13 and Barrio 18 gangs in 2019 to "reduce murder rates and help the ruling New Ideas party win legislative elections in February."John Burris, civil rights attorney, joins us to discuss the shootings in the US. Yesterday, the Los Angeles Police Department released body camera video of a shooting last week that left a 14-year-old girl dead. Also, reports indicate a shooting spree occurred in the Denver area yesterday that left five people dead, including the suspected shooter, and one police officer injured.Gary Flowers, host of “The Gary Flowers Show” on radio station Rejoice WREJ-AM 990, joins us to discuss the drop in viewership of news networks this year. Nielson data reports that after many networks drew bigger audiences the previous year amid COVID-19 and the 2020 presidential election, they now saw a drop in viewership in 2021. The largest drop was seen in cable networks, with a 38 percent drop in weekday primetime viewership for CNN, 34 percent drop for Fox News Channel, and 25 percent drop for MSNBC.

While President Biden is releasing 50 million barrels of oil to help ease the spike in gas prices, his recently signed infrastructure bill includes $6 Billion to help the transition to electric vehicles.  To discuss, KCBS Radio news anchor Rebecca Corral was joined by Bloomberg News autos reporter Gabrielle Coppola.

Progressives continue to sling false, divisive attacks, even against members of their own party, all in the name of passing their massive reconciliation social spending welfare bill that will plunge our nation deeper into debt and drastically change the American landscape. History, data, and common sense tells us that these policies are counter to everything needed to uplift American families, with subsidies that reward single parenthood, punish marriages, and discourage people from working. While President Biden bows to the progressives in his party and their message of government dependency over freedom and personal responsibility, his tanking poll numbers show that Americans have taken notice.

Sarah Isgur, a Republican campaign manager, political and communications adviser, who is now also an ABC News Contributor *Follow Her on Twitter: @whignewtons. While President Biden's commission examining the Supreme Court seemed to signal some degree of openness to term limits for justices, President Biden said he himself does not support them.

While President Biden's proposed Clean Energy Standard is being debated in Congress, it seemed like a good time to review state clean energy policies. Most states have adopted some type of major clean energy policy. Nebraska is among the 11 states that have not adopted a state clean energy policy. Professor Dave Aiken, an agricultural and water specialist in the Department of Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln discusses.

Following the United States' chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, there is much debate about how America's exit will impact its reputation on the world stage and whether rivals such as China and Russia will benefit. While President Biden has justified the withdrawal decision on the grounds of refocusing American strategic priorities around the globe, other countries are now seeking to expand their influence with the newly established Taliban-controlled government of Afghanistan. Yaroslav Trofimov joined Dany and Marc to discuss his reporting from Afghanistan, the global balance of power now that the US has left, the goals and priorities of the Taliban, and what the Chinese and Russians are up to. Yaroslav Trofimov is the chief foreign-affairs correspondent of The Wall Street Journal. He joined the Journal in 1999 and previously served as Rome, Middle East and Singapore-based Asia correspondent, as bureau chief in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and as Dubai-based columnist on the greater Middle East. He is the author of two books, “Faith at War” (2005) and “Siege of Mecca” (2007). https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/WTH-Final-Transcript-Trofimov-9.22.21.pdf (Download the transcript here. )

Earlier this week, Arizona became the first state to file a lawsuit against the Biden administration over the President's latest vaccine mandates for federal workers and large companies. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich argues that President Biden's new vaccine requirements are unconstitutional and violate the Equal Protection Clause. Brnovich points out that illegal immigrants who enter the U.S. are not subject to the same federal vaccine requirements as American citizens. Brnovich joins to break down his state's lawsuit, why he says it violates the U.S. constitution and why he believes we can't have a serious conversation about COVID-19 until we start talking about what's going on at the southern border.   On Tuesday, September 14th, the Department of Justice filed an emergency order asking a federal judge in Texas for a temporary halt on the new Texas law banning abortions past six weeks of pregnancy. While President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland expressed their belief the law is unconstitutional and in direct conflict with Roe v. Wade, Texas Governor Greg Abbott's press secretary asserted Abbott signed this law to protect "the most precious freedom...life itself." Law Professor at George Washington University and Fox News Contributor, Jonathan Turley joins to explain that while pundits are focused on the Texas law, the Supreme Court is set to hear a case on a Mississippi abortion law that could seriously weaken Roe v. Wade. Turley breaks down why Democrats' moves to codify Roe v. Wade could create issues of federal overreach, how Mississippi's law could enhance the authority of states in the pre-viability stage of abortion, and how the Supreme Court is likely to rule on this landmark case on states' rights in regard to abortion.   Plus, commentary by former White House speechwriter and FOX News contributor Marc Thiessen.

Law Professor at George Washington University and Fox News Contributor, Jonathan Turley joins to explain that while pundits are focused on the Texas law, the Supreme Court is set to hear a case on a Mississippi abortion law that could seriously weaken Roe v. Wade. Turley breaks down why Democrats' moves to codify Roe v. Wade could create issues of federal overreach, how Mississippi's law could enhance the authority of states in the pre-viability stage of abortion, and how the Supreme Court is likely to rule on this landmark case on states' rights in regard to abortion.   Plus, commentary by former White House speechwriter and FOX News contributor Marc Thiessen.

Since Chad is traveling a lot, he likes to do a lot of thinking. He has a theory that he wants you to challenge him on. In the last 60 years of American presidential history he believes we had three REAL presidents. Do you agree? Mayor Craig Shubert of Hudson, Ohio, gives an ULTIMATUM to school board members: resign or be charged. File this under “Get woke, go broke.” SNL alum and comedian Jim Breuer did a Facebook Live post and told his fans that he will not perform at venues requiring vaccinations. Chad has also canceled shows in venues that require vaccinations. A new poll shows that 97% of vaccinated Americans who ended friendships during COVID see their ex-friends as full-blown anti-vaxxers. While President Biden is trying to force a vaccine mandate on the American workforce, it looks like members of Congress and their staffs will be exempt from the mandate. Are you paying attention?

While President Biden has approved major disaster declarations for six New Jersey counties and five New York counties impacted by the remnants Hurricane Ida, the Dutchess County Executive says his county should be included. Marc Molinaro wrote to President Biden, Senators Chuck Schumer and Kristen Gillibrand and Congressmen Sean Patrick Maloney and Antonio Delgado, saying many businesses in central and southern Dutchess County were damaged by flooding. We talk about that and much more.

The evacuations of U.S. citizens and Afghanistan allies continue in the region as the August 31 deadline looms. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that he believes less than 1,000 American citizens are still in Afghanistan trying to leave the country and that 82,300 people have been flown out of Kabul since August 14. But as the deadline for U.S. troops to leave Afghanistan approaches, what does the future hold when it comes to America's national security and keeping an eye on terrorism? This as the Taliban secures control of Afghanistan amid reports that the nation is becoming a safe haven for terrorist groups. Fox News Contributor and former CIA Station Chief Daniel Hoffman joins to weigh in on what will happen to those who don't make it out of Afghanistan by the deadline and if the "over-the-horizon" counterterrorism capability the Biden administration keeps pushing is enough to keep terrorists at bay.   The U.S. Supreme Court has reinstated the 'Remain in Mexico' policy set by the Trump administration, ruling that asylum seekers must wait in Mexico while authorities review their claims. While President Biden attempted to cancel this Trump-era policy, the High Court ruled 6-3 refusing to block a lower court ruling that ordered the Migrant Protection Protocols program to be reinstated. Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin joins to explain how this decision may impact the migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border. Bill breaks down what exactly the reinstating of the 'Remain in Mexico' policy means for border security, the plight of border patrol agents who feel overwhelmed by the surge in illegal border crossings, and how the Biden administration must revive the MPP policy thought they plan to cancel it in the future.   Plus, commentary by Gordon Chang, author of "The Coming Collapse of China."

While President Biden and leaders across corporate America have been encouraging, incentivizing, and even requiring that employees get vaccinated, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has vocally opposed mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and Covid-19 passports. In a lively interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin and Becky Quick, Senator Cruz defends his stance on masks in schools and weighs in on employer rights to require behaviors from their workers. Plus, CNBC's Senior Economics Reporter Steve Liesman shares data from CNBC's All-America Economic Survey, which reveals American openness to vaccination and vaccination requirements. In a conversation exclusive to Squawk Pod, Liesman explains where most Americans find mandates reasonable, and where they don't.

On COI #137, Kyle and Will break down the new US Marine deployment to guard the American Embassy in Haiti, which comes amid instability after the assassination of the country's leader. While President Biden insists there will be no larger stabilization mission, that's not so clear, as the Marine contingent comes after the White House had already ruled out sending any troops. Governments worldwide are stepping up their censorship demands on social media platforms, with Twitter seeing a record surge in such requests in 2020. The Biden administration also recently admitted to pressuring Facebook to scrub so-called vaccine disinformation from the site, literally "flagging problematic posts" for deletion. As anti-government protests erupt in Cuba, the corporate media has spread confusion with several erroneously captioned photos. One image from the Associated Press labeled a large pro-government demonstration as an opposition rally, an error quickly replicated by countless other news outlets. CNN, meanwhile, falsely portrayed a protest in Miami, Florida as taking place in Cuba.  Odysee Donate LBRY Credits bTTEiLoteVdMbLS7YqDVSZyjEY1eMgW7CP Donate Bitcoin 36PP4kT28jjUZcL44dXDonFwrVVDHntsrk Donate Bitcoin Cash qp6gznu4xm97cj7j9vqepqxcfuctq2exvvqu7aamz6 Subscribe Star – Conflicts of Interest  YouTube – Conflicts of Interest Facebook – Conflicts of Interest Twitter – Conflicts of Interest Apple Podcast – Conflicts of Interest Support Our Sponsor Visit Paloma Verde and use code PEACE for 25% off our CBD

Blair and Rich look at the new Child Tax Credit, which begins monthly deposits for a one year test program today. While President Biden wants to make it a permanent program, not everyone supports the credit.

While President Biden won't claim a "mission accomplished" moment, critics are asking "What WAS accomplished?" in response to withdrawing American forces from Afghanistan? Following America's example, NATO forces are also reducing their presence and involvement in Afghan affairs, as Biden explains it is on Afghanistan to defend itself against Taliban influence and accomplish its own nation building.

Former President Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbott visited the Southern border earlier this week to survey the unfinished border wall and highlight what they say are the failures of the new administration's immigration policy.  While President Biden has redirected funding and suspended the previous administration's efforts to construct a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, Governor Abbott recently announced that the state of Texas will provide $250 million to continue building the border wall.  One of the governor's motivations behind the move is drugs and how they continue to flow in to the country from Mexico.  Before President Trump and Gov. Abbott's trip, Fox Business Network Correspondent Grady Trimble joined host Dave Anthony on the Rundown from the border to detail the influx of migrant activity at the border, the personal accounts of border control officials who say they're not getting enough help from the federal government and the growing concerns about drug smuggling, The conversation was too long and we could not include all of it in our original conversation. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire conversation with FOX Business' Grady Trimble and get even an clearer understanding of the border surge and how cartels continue to traffic illegal drugs in to our country. 

Parents across the U.S. are speaking out against critical race theory (CRT) being taught being as part of their school's curriculum for Kindergarten to 12th grade. Some Republican-led states are even passing legislation banning CRT from being taught in schools. The controversial topic is even causing debate on whether the U.S. military should be allowed to study it, but what exactly is critical race theory?  Former Political Director of Priorities USA and Democratic strategist Kristal Knight, and Wall Street Journal columnist and FOX News contributor Jason Riley explain what CRT is and they discuss whether it should be taught in the classroom.

This Week: On Sunday, the world's largest meat processor, JBS, underwent a cyberattack that shut down facilities across the nation. At present, the FBI is investigating as many as 100 different types of ransomware as U.S. corporations continue to suffer attacks. Morgan Wright, Chief Security Advisor at Sentinel One and Cyber Security Expert, discusses what these strikes mean for the companies who suffer them, and how the United States can beef up cyber defense. Later this month, President Joe Biden will meet with foreign leaders at the G7 and NATO summits in Europe. The President will also meet with Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle on June 13 and have a "bilateral summit with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin on June 16th," according to Secretary Jen Psaki. Fox News Contributor and former communications advisor to Secretary of State John Kerry, Marie Harf, and Fox News Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent, Greg Palkot, discuss what President Biden should hope to accomplish in these meetings. Will Democrats and Republicans be able to find common ground and pass a bipartisan infrastructure plan? While President Biden has indicated that he wants a bipartisan compromise on his infrastructure bill, he has also indicated he won't wait on Republicans. If a deal is not reached Democrats said they will go it alone again through a process called budget reconciliation. FOX News Washington Correspondent Rachel Sutherland speaks with FOX News Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram about what budget reconciliation is and if we'll have an infrastructure plan passed this summer. This week marked the official start of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season and FEMA is getting ready for what is expected to be an active one according to NOAA. FEMA has already been stretched thin this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, wildfires, and the migrant surge at the southern border. FOX News Washington Correspondent Rachel Sutherland speaks with former FEMA administrator Pete Gaynor about how FEMA gets ready for hurricane season, how COVID-19 changed the way FEMA prepares for disasters and how Americans can plan ahead to get ready for this year's upcoming season.

The infrastructure package, which currently comes with a $1.7 trillion price tag, seeks to deliver new roads and bridges and expands clean energy initiatives. While President Biden is working toward a deal, a broad sweep of complex economic issues has yet to be worked out. To dimension the implications and likely outcome of this initiative, Chief Investment Officer Tony Roth turns to Professor Rick Geddes, director of Cornell University’s Program in Infrastructure Policy.

Jews are often the proverbial “canaries in the mineshaft.” When societies tolerate, let alone enable, anti-Semitic sentiment and even attacks, they are usually in decline. In recent days, rising violence against Jews has occurred here as leftist anti-Semites in Congress denounced Israel for its retaliatory actions against Hamas, the terrorist group that just fired 4,000 rockets indiscriminately into the Jewish State. While President Biden has paid lip-service to Israel’s “right to exist,” he has also enthusiastically endorsed one such legislator, Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian activist-turned-Representative who has called for its destruction and voted with fellow Democrats to block even defensive weapons sales to the Israelis. Make no mistake, those who seek to destroy the Jews and their state generally have no love for America, either. We must repudiate and sanction anti-Semitism, or contribute to our country’s unravelling, as well. This is Frank Gaffney.

While President Biden's infrastructure plan includes necessary transportation and highway upgrades, it has been criticized as a pork-ridden socialist's dream. One very important omission which is not talked about is the lack of protection of our national grid from an EMP attack or a CME event, which should be a high priority. On this week's Thought to Action, London Center for Policy Research President Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer and Ambassador Hank Cooper discuss why resources need to be allocated to the grid's protection and how to go about it. Ambassador Cooper is working on a series of research articles involved with preparation for and preservation of the nation's power grid from enemy electromagnetic pulse attacks or another CME event (similar to the Carrington Event)Thank you for watching; please feel free to comment, share and subscribe.Or, please feel free to make a contribution here: paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/1338653 Thought to Action is presented by the London Center for Policy Research https://www.londoncenter.org​Tony Shaffer is the President of the London Center for Policy Research, a retired Lt.
