NOTE:  The shocking news of Senator Alex Padilla being forcibly removed and handcuffed at a Kristi Noem press conference simply for trying to ask questions as an elected official?  We cover that in the news round-up. In this week's episode, we take a brief break from documenting Republican authoritarianism to explore the 1948 film noir masterpiece "The Big Clock," but quickly return to the fascist dumpster fire by introducing you to Bo Loudon, an 18-year-old MAGA influencer who represents the toxic roots of today's Republican party through his grifter family's Mar-a-Lago connections and reality TV fame. We also cover the latest authoritarian nightmares, plus we celebrate the few voices of truth still speaking out against this madness.Link for this episode:  Driftglass (and Digby) on the BradCast with Brad Friedman and Desi Doyen.  https://bradblog.com/?p=15413 Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

So, Kara gathered a panel of four expert guests to unpack how the feud ignited, who holds the most leverage, why a ceasefire took place, if it'll last, and what it all means for the future of tech, politics and power.  Henry Blodget is the co-founder and former CEO of and editor-in-chief of Business Insider.

美国时间 6 月 6 日，ICE（美国移民与海关执法局）在洛杉矶市中心展开多起针对移民的突袭逮捕，随即引发抗议，并迅速演变为多地暴力冲突。而特朗普也在事发第二天的晚上，以镇压「叛乱分子」为由，绕过加州州长纽森，直接向洛杉矶派遣了 2000 名国民警卫队士兵，此后几天甚至出现了海军陆战队的部署。6 月 9 日，愤怒的加州政府将联邦政府告上法庭，称特朗普正在违宪使用总统权力。 不过自从特朗普上台之后，围绕其政策与行政行为的诉讼几乎从未间断，被特朗普针对的哈佛，在四月也以政府越权为由起诉白宫。在特朗普充满了戏剧性的政治游戏中，总统的行政权一次次伸向制度边界，而法院往往作为最后一道防线出现。 本期节目，我们邀请来了武汉大学的宪法学教授黄明涛，从加州与联邦政府的对抗谈起，一起讨论围绕特朗普而起的这场「制度攻防战」—— 美国的行政权与司法权之间，这场拉锯正走向怎样的深水区？由此引发的思考又有哪些？ 本期人物 徐涛，声动活泼联合创始人 黄明涛，武汉大学法学院宪法学教授 主要话题 [00:53] 哈佛、马斯克、洛杉矶……与特朗普有关的争端步步升级 [06:06] 发生在洛杉矶的抗议，特朗普能不能越过加州州长纽森去管？ [12:34] 联邦与州之间的权力拉扯 —— 美国法律的天平会往哪边倾？ [21:36] 和法官耍赖皮的特朗普政府，与被驱逐到萨尔瓦多的委内瑞拉移民 [29:12] 特朗普任命的大法官，开始反对特朗普了吗？ [43:17] 被特朗普针对的媒体和律所，以及可能由此产生的后果 感谢 OLAY 对本期节目的支持 面部纹路的出现，常被认为是皮肤老化的信号，OLAY 联合哈佛医学院十多年的长期研究显示，深层衰老细胞的积累才是导致皱纹生成的元凶。 作为有着强大科研基因的护肤品牌，OLAY 实验室始终以最高标准专攻各类肌肤顽疾，OLAY 黑管精华就是实验室最新力作，首次融合三大抗老成分： PHCA 酸、植物 A 醇、胜肽，颠覆性发布「酸·A·肽」配方。 其中 PHCA 酸能够够根源作用于衰老细胞，淡化顽固纹的同时，预防未来的新生纹；植物 A 醇即「补骨脂酚」，突破传统 A 醇的刺激性与光敏性限制，不需要避光和建立耐受，是适合敏感肌的安全用 A 首选方案。 还有 OLAY 淡斑小白瓶，运用烟酰胺+色淡林专利美白配方，根源淡化顽固斑点，搭配黑管精华双管齐下，让肌肤焕发新生机。 618 大促马上进入倒计时，点击下方链接，进入 OLAY 京东旗舰店查看购买详情： 玉兰油（OLAY）淡斑小白瓶淡纹黑管面部精华液 (https://sourl.cn/hxA377) 玉兰油（OLAY）淡纹黑管精华液50ml (https://sourl.cn/rwf9cT) Untitled https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads-2024/images/8/8dd8a56f-9636-415a-8c00-f9ca6778e511/4bzC218O.jpeg 给声东击西投稿 「声东击西」一直在寻找来自不同社会和群体的真实声音。我们曾经采访过为特朗普竞选生产 MAGA 帽子的中国制造商、记录过七位在美国大选中经历起伏的华人个体，也讲述了签证突然被取消的在美留学生的故事。 如果你正在加州，或者其他发生了抗议的美国城市，欢迎你向我们投稿！讲述你的所见所闻。 你的声音可能出现在未来的节目当中，我们非常期待你的分享~ 投稿入口 (https://eg76rdcl6g.feishu.cn/share/base/form/shrcne1CGVaSeJwtBriW6yNT2dg) 你也可以直接通过邮箱直接联系节目组：kexuan@shengfm.cn 延伸阅读 属人原则：以犯罪人的国籍为标准，凡是本国人犯罪，都适用本国刑法而不论犯罪是发生在本国领域内还是在本国领域外；反之，外国人犯罪，即是发生在本国领域内，亦不适用本国刑法。 Federalist Society (https://fedsoc.org/) Trump defends sending troops to L.A.; Newsom warns democracy is ‘under assault' (https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/06/11/trump-warns-military-force-protests/) How can Trump use the national guard on US soil?

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

It's Thursday, June 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Escalating persecution of Christians in Africa International Christian Concern released a new report on the escalating persecution of Christians in Africa.  Targeted attacks are increasing in countries with large Christian populations like Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Kenya.  The report documented attacks that have killed hundreds of Christians in Africa this year. These attacks not only involve brutal killings, but also abductions and displacement. They are often perpetrated by Islamic militant groups.  Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Africa.  Conservatives arrested for protesting transgenderism Belgian police arrested two conservative activists last Thursday in Brussels, Belgium for protesting transgenderism. Lois Miller, a Senior Legal Communications Officer with Alliance Defending Freedom International, was holding a sign that read: “Children are never born in the wrong body.” And Canadian child protection advocate Chris Elston was holding a sign that read: “Children cannot consent to puberty blockers.”  The two activists called the police after facing aggressive harassment from bystanders. However, the police decided to arrest Miller and Elston! Listen to comments from Miller. MILLER: “They saw that a mob was formed. They saw that we were in the minority, that we were the ones that were being attacked. And instead of standing up for our rights to have those conversations about really important topics to Belgians everywhere, instead they took us away and they let the mob go free.” Proverbs 17:15 says, “He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.” Progress in U.S.-Chinese trade talks U.S. President Donald Trump announced a preliminary trade deal with China yesterday. Trump said China will provide rare earth minerals and magnets to America and that the U.S. would restart Chinese student visas.  U.S. tariffs on imports from China stand at 55 percent, while Chinese tariffs on imports from the U.S. stand at 10 percent. Total tariffs between the two countries reached 245 percent before trade talks began. Congress might repeal pro-abortion Freedom of Access to Clinics Entrances Act The U.S. House Judiciary Committee advanced a bill this week to repeal the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act also known as the FACE Act. The Biden administration used the act to target peaceful, pro-life activists. Between 1994 and 2024, 97 percent of FACE Act prosecutions were against pro-lifers.  Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas said, “With a Republican-led Congress and President Trump's support, we can repeal this law and protect free speech for all.” Clarification on religious groups story from yesterday We apologize for any confusion from our story yesterday about the growth of religious groups around the world. To clarify, the total number of Christians did increase from 2.1 billion to 2.3 billion between 2010 and 2020. However, as a percentage of the world's population, Christianity actually decreased from 30.6 percent to 28.8 percent over the same time period. You see, even though the number of Christians grew over that decade, it did not grow fast enough to keep up with global population growth, especially the fertility rate of Muslims, and thus Christians decreased as a percentage of the world's population. Religious instruction under public school umbrella Public school students in Iowa can now take courses in religious instruction. Iowan Republican Governor Kim Reynolds signed the bill into law last Friday. The measure allows parents to send their children to religious instruction provided by a private group during the school day. Greg Chafuen, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “Parents have the right and responsibility to guide the upbringing and education of their children. The government should not stop families from raising their children in their family's faith.” Southern Baptists call for overturn of Obergefell homosexual marriage ruling The Southern Baptist Convention adopted multiple resolutions this week on the topics of marriage, sexuality, and human life. One resolution called for the overturning of the U.S. Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges ruling which legalized faux homosexual marriage. Another resolution called for Congress and state legislatures to ban chemical abortion drugs. And a third resolution called for the banning of pornographic content.  Representatives to the Southern Baptist Convention urged, “all Southern Baptists to advocate in the public square for laws and policies that reflect the moral order revealed in Scripture and nature, and to bear witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which alone restores broken lives, redeems sin, and brings eternal hope.” Psalm 119:46 says, “I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.” Worldview listeners in England, Canada and Texas share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoyed about the newscast in 2-6 sentences. You can share your thoughts -- along with your  full name, city and state -- and send it to adam@theworldview.com Dan from Gloucestershire, England wrote, “Hi Adam. I love The Worldview for the information you share and how you relate a couple of your stories to the Bible with specific verses. Keep up the good work.” Priscilla Lipp in Calgary, Alberta, Canada wrote, “I enjoy getting a snippet of world news from a Christian perspective. Refreshing, with reports I won't hear on Canadian mainstream media. My husband, several grown children, and a neighboring couple have also signed up.” And Patricia Herbst – on behalf of Luis, Tricia, Natalie, Nichole, and Luciano -- in Kyle, Texas wrote, “I want to thank you for the incredible blessing your ministry has been to our family. “Through your curriculum, app, and daily broadcasts, we've been consistently enriched with wisdom, truth, and discipleship. My husband, children, and I are growing in faith because of your efforts. You are truly a gift from God, and we're so grateful for your faithfulness.” 7 Worldview listeners gave $815 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this Friday, June 13th, 7 listeners stepped up to the plate. Our thanks to Tim in Woodland, California who gave $25 and Julie in Victoria, Texas who gave $40. We appreciate Kitty in Tulare, California, Linda in Tampa, Florida, and Daniel in Evansville, Indiana – each of whom gave $50. And we're grateful to God for Ryan in Brighton, Colorado who gave $100, Steven in Rest, South Carolina who gave $200, and Alex in Greenwood, Indiana who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. Those 7 Worldview listeners gave a total of $815.  Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (Drum roll sound effect) $24,565.20 (People clapping sound effect) That means we still need to raise $37,134.80 by midnight on Friday, June 13th to hit the half-way mark, to stay on the air, and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. Remember If you are one of 8 final people who give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift. If that happens on Thursday, we will have raised $16,000. In order to raise the remaining amount, I need to find 17 Worldview listeners who will pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And another 32 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. Has God placed it on your heart to be one of the Christian patriots to fund this unparalleled newscast which affirms pre-born babies, God's divine design for our sexuality, and often equips you with practical ways you can take a stand for righteousness in an evil culture?

Rand Paul has become one of the Republican senators standing in the way of passing the Big, Beautiful Bill. Plenty of MAGA supporters are bashing him on Twitter, but Charlie is trying a different approach: Hearing what he has to say. Charlie lets Paul state his problems with the bill, and then explains why he disagrees and thinks the bill needs to be passed.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks about how Gavin Newsom's latest lie-filled speech addressing the ICE riots in Los Angeles and Donald Trump sending in the National Guard may actually be a dangerous escalation as the riots spin out of control; “The View's” Whoopi Goldberg shocking her audience by echoing Republican talking points in advocating for states rights to attack Donald Trump's decision to send the National Guard to Los Angeles to get control of the ICE riots; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez coming under fire for defending protesters throwing rocks at police and vehicles in the LA ICE riots; CNN's Harry Enten showing shocking new polling data that shows how much Americans are pushing Trump's approval ratings to new heights due to his strict policies on immigration and mass deportations; Eva Vlaardingerbroek addressing how the European refugee crisis is getting much worse despite pledges by politicians to stop the inflow of illegal migrants; Donald Trump getting the press to laugh with his critique of Greta Thunberg's failed attempt to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza as a part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition which was intercepted by Israel; and much more.

Kim Clement prophesied the rise of an “American Party” that would shake both Republicans and Democrats—and now Elon Musk is echoing that exact vision. I believe Trump coming down that escalator was the prophetic spark that lit the fuse. While the political realignment unfolds, California's riots are being fueled by big money from places you would never guess, and I've got the receipts.

Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmSince last week's episode, Donald Trump and Elon Musk had a bitter falling out, Republicans encountered new obstacles to enacting their top priorities (cutting rich people's taxes and poor people's Medicaid) and Trump ordered a federal siege of Los Angeles.Also, Brian got his first taste of sweet, sweet European health care. What do these things have to do with one another? Arguably not much, arguably quite a lot. If safety nets weren't valuable and important, Republicans wouldn't be lying about the contents of their budget reconciliation bill. And if their reconciliation bill was wise, popular, and on the glide path to passage, Trump (really, Stephen Miller) wouldn't be trying to whip up a violent pretext to squeeze Republicans on Capitol Hill into voting for a reckless, terrible bill. But siccing federal troops on American citizens is a big deal, whether it's intended as a diversion or an inducement or not. Should Democratic leaders have seen it coming? Should they have been more prepared? Are there ways for them to increase public awareness of the looming decimation of Medicaid without falling back on the trope that everything else is a “distraction?” All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Brian argues Democrats overweighted the importance of “issue salience” and it left them unprepared to wage unavoidable political battles with Trump.* Matt argues that if progressives understood FDR's legacy more accurately, they would be more tolerant of Democratic efforts to widen the party's appeal.* No Kings protests across the country on Saturday.

Nancy Solomon, WNYC reporter and host of the “Ask Governor Murphy” monthly call-in show, offers analysis of the Democratic and Republican winners of the NJ gubernatorial primary election, and talks about her new podcast, "Dead End: The Rise & Fall of Gold Bar Bob Menendez," on former Sen. Bob Menendez, who is scheduled to go to prison next week after he was found guilty of corruption.

The Fox News personality reflects on her evolution from a contrarian Republican to a libertarian and her belief that personal freedom, humor, and not giving a shit are the keys to a better America.

Rep. Jim Jordan, Republican from Ohio, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the ongoing riots in Los Angeles and why the left's continued support for illegal immigrants and violent rioters signals the deep collapse from within the Democratic Party. Jordan also weighed in on Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, expressing optimism that the Senate will pass it without watering it down (and why the Senate may make it more conservative). Finally, Rep. Jordan touched on the upcoming Judiciary Committee hearings focused on Democratic governors and their controversial sanctuary state policies. Listen to the full interview below!

As riots rage across Los Angeles and the conflicts between ICE officials and illegal immigrants escalate, why does it seem like nobody in Washington is actually interested in fixing America's broken immigration system? Matt Kibbe sits down with Steven Olikara, CEO of Bridge Entertainment Labs and former Democratic Senate candidate, to discuss how both Democrats and Republicans have an interest in exacerbating the problem in order to use it as a campaign issue in the next election. This is yet another example of what Olikara calls “the division industrial complex,” which seeks to keep Americans polarized and at each other's throats. Instead of falling into this trap, Olikara stresses the importance of sitting down for civil conversations with those who hold differing opinions and working to find common ground that can lead to real solutions. The political establishment wants to keep us divided because that's how it retains its power. It's important to understand the rules of their game.

Last week before Trump decided to abuse the power of the presidency with his inappropriate use of the U.S. military the network was dedicated to a story that most Americans couldn't care less about - the former president's use of an autopen.The term ‘autopen' showed up 69 times in last week's transcripts. Last week congressional Republicans led by Rep. James Comer launched a pointless investigation into Joe Biden's use of a signing machine or autopen.American presidents have used machines to sign documents for decades. The use of an autopen is not illegal or unethical. Republicans, helped by Fox News, are trying to create a narrative that Biden was so mentally incapacitated that he had no idea what he was signing or that someone else in the Biden admin. was signing documents without the president's knowledge.The autopen scandal is just the latest bright shiny object to keep the Fox News audience focused on something besides Trump's attempts to turn the United States into his own private fascist fiefdom.

As protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles continue, so does the standoff between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump. In a dramatic eight-minute address last night, Newsom laid into Trump, touting the federal intervention and militarization of its response as a threat  to the rule of law. Meanwhile, Trump suggested yesterday that Newsom should be arrested — and that he'll have zero tolerance for protests or disruptions at Saturday's military parade in downtown Washington. Playbook author Jack Blanchard and contributing author Adam Wren break it all down. Plus, Republicans will meet today to discuss a path forward for the GOP megabill.

James Coomarasamy, presenter of the BBC's Newshour and The World Tonight, speaks to Mike Huckabee, US Ambassador to Israel. Confirmed in the post two months ago, Mr Huckabee is the former Republican Governor of Arkansas and two-time Republican presidential nominee.He's an Evangelical Christian, who has backed the presence of Jewish settlements in the Palestinian territories, which are considered illegal under international law - although Israel rejects this.Some opposition politicians in the US have been critical of his appointment and previous statements he's made about the ongoing war in Gaza.One Democratic senator said Huckabee was "woefully unfit" for the role and accused him of engaging in "brazen denial of the existence of the Palestinian people". But during questioning by a US Senate committee, Huckabee played down some of his past statements, saying he would "carry out the president's priorities", not his, and denied backing the expulsion of Palestinians.He takes up the role amid growing international calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and pressure for more humanitarian aid to reach the territory. Despite a number of proposals put forward by the international community, there does not yet appear to be a realistic prospect of an end to the conflict.
