    1. ICE Incident & Media Narrative A story circulated claiming ICE detained a 5‑year‑old child; the document states this was false. ICE was arresting the father, who allegedly fled and abandoned the child. The mother reportedly refused to take the child back. The argument: media outlets amplified a misleading narrative to evoke emotional reaction and sway suburban voters. 2. Narrative of Political Motivation Democrats and major media are using immigration stories to fuel a political campaign against ICE. John Kasich and others are highlighted as contributing to public perception around ICE enforcement. 3. Government Shutdown Predictions A 100% chance of a government shutdown tied to DHS and ICE funding. Chuck Schumer and other Democratic leaders are quoted as refusing to fund DHS without major ICE restrictions. A distinction is made: many agencies are already funded, so the shutdown would be more limited than the previous historical shutdown. 4. “Abolish ICE” Positioning Democrats are unified in refusing to fund ICE or DHS, framing it as similar to “abolish ICE / abolish police” rhetoric. Democrats want a prolonged and painful shutdown to signal to their base that they are fighting against ICE. 5. Trump Accounts (Economic Policy Section) Benefits include: Could lead to significant wealth accumulation due to compound growth (e.g., $300k by 18; $1M+ by 28 with max contributions). Intended to help children in poverty or lower‑income households build long‑term wealth. Employer and charitable contributions (e.g., Michael & Susan Dell, Brad Gerstner) will accelerate scale and impact. Compared in transformative potential to the creation of 401(k) plans. 6. Minneapolis Shooting & Media Coverage Media portrayed the man shot by ICE as a peaceful ICU nurse, omitting earlier confrontational behavior. Video evidence reported by BBC showed the man spitting at, confronting, and kicking an ICE vehicle days before the shooting. Media intentionally shaped the story to portray ICE as murderers. 7. MSNBC AI Image Controversy MSNBC used an AI‑enhanced image to make the man appear more attractive, which the document calls political propaganda. Commentary from Joe Rogan criticizing the altered image. MSNBC admitted to using an AI‑generated thumbnail but did not apologize or fire anyone. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

    What if a scripted TV raid on Venezuela turned into real-life headlines? In this eye-opening episode, Glenn sits down with investigative journalist and author Annie Jacobsen to unpack the shocking U.S. operation that captured Maduro — drawing direct parallels to her advisory work on the show “Jack Ryan,” where she pushed for “an authentic kill-or-capture mission inside Venezuela.” Glenn shares his take on Trump's unorthodox strategy, noting, “I felt like he took one stone and knocked out 200 birds,” with ripple effects impacting China, Russia, and beyond.  Delving into advanced weaponry, Annie explains how Havana syndrome technology has “existed since the '50s,” while Glenn warns of the rapid advancement of AI and drone warfare. The duo discusses Trump's nuclear fears, the limits of presidential power and intelligence agencies, Greenland, and the feasibility of the “Golden Dome” — before agreeing that, as we witness this rapidly accelerating arms race that could redefine global conflict, we must work together to prevent World War III.       GLENN'S SPONSORS: Home Title Lock: Go to ⁠https://hometitlelock.com/glennbeck⁠ and use promo code GLENN to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!

    The Best Of Mark Levin - 1/31/26

    This week on the Mark Levin Show, Democrats and the media create violent, riotous situations through their rhetoric and positions, leading to deaths for which they take no responsibility, instead they blame others like President Trump while ignoring organizers behind the unrest. This strategy is how they aim to win elections and the presidency, as they cannot win on the issues. There are organized far-left networks in Minnesota coordinating via encrypted chats, alerts, and databases to interfere with ICE operations, mobilizing agitators to obstruct arrests of criminal illegal immigrants, making enforcement extremely difficult amid non-cooperation from local/state officials and lack of media coverage. Also, individuals should never arm themselves or interfere with federal law enforcement (particularly ICE) during protests aimed at obstructing arrests of illegal aliens, even those with criminal records, as such actions are criminal, dangerous, and not protected by the Second Amendment, free speech, or assembly rights. American citizens deserve safe communities protected by immigration enforcement, while sanctuary policies by states and cities unconstitutionally usurp federal plenary power over immigration, echoing Confederate nullification tactics and risking national disunity. The Democrat Party deliberately engineers massive illegal immigration through open borders, non-enforcement, census manipulation, and birthright citizenship to secure long-term political power, culminating in a strategy to weaken or eliminate ICE and prioritize party dominance over national interests, with some Republicans yielding to these pressures. Later, in 1997 Justice Antonin Scalia spoke on Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony in 1997. He addresses the Holocaust, Germany and western civilization. This show serves as a strong defense against the growing threat of Marxists, Islamists, and neo-fascists in the country. There's focus on these groups and figures like Tucker Carlson and Zohran Mandami because there may come a day when our voices are silenced and unable to speak out. Dangerous voices are active today among podcasters, politicians, imams, and organizations like CAIR. Kristi Noem is doing an outstanding job. DHS is a massive department that handles some of the most difficult matters. No one has done a better job on immigration than Noem, which is why the Democrats are calling for her head. Now, why are Democrats fighting so hard for every illegal alien to stay? To preserve their electoral viability, as resident migration from high-tax blue states to lower-tax red/purple states continues unabated. Learn more about your ad choices.

    1/30/26 - The Cost of Misguided Altruism

    Mark Levin Podcast

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 31, 2026 112:58


    On Friday's Mark Levin Show, excessive or misdirected compassion in Western societies, especially among progressives, leads to self-destructive policies by prioritizing the needs and feelings of perceived marginalized or external groups over the survival, security, and interests of one's own civilization, ultimately causing its weakening or destruction. That's the radical left and how they coddle Islamists even though it destroys our own country. It's suicidal if we let one more radical Islamist into America or we don't remove those here for the cancer they are spreading. Marxists, Islamists, and the Left deliberately manipulate language as a weapon to advance their agenda against ordinary Americans.  Also, Iran is becoming the North Korea of the Middle East. It exists to fund the regime and its police state and military. The people are suffering from a complete lack of civil liberties, a destitute economy, and a nearly non-existent middle class. Like North Korea, it is turning into a country-wide concentration camp. If we do not act decisively, quickly, and overwhelmingly with our military against the top of the regime, Iran will, in fact, build nuclear weapons, as North Korea has despite dozens of agreements over the decades, in which they pledged not to.  Any regime that is willing to slaughter its own people by the tens of thousands, as Iran is doing, will not hesitate to launch ICBMs with nuclear warheads against our cities.  Later, the Democrat Party lies repeatedly to gain power. Gov Abigal Spanberger campaigned as a moderate but she's raising taxes on everyday items and is proposing new income tax rates for the "rich," which will make Virginia unaffordable and turn it into a dark blue state.  Afterward, Don Lemon isn't a real journalist, he just seeks drama and attention. He violated the law for storming into a Church service allegedly violating the FACE act. Yet, the media attacks the Trump administration. Learn more about your ad choices.

    "Fighting crime" is often used as a justification for many of the Trump administration's policies — from mass deportations to its actions in Venezuela to its crackdown in Minnesota — despite the fact that crime is at a historic low, and has been falling for decades. We talk to Meg Anderson, NPR's criminal justice correspondent, about how that taps into Americans' disproportionate fears about crime, and how that makes scenes like what we see in Minneapolis possible.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

    Donica Brady lost her job after the Trump administration cut grant funding to bring solar power across the country, including to tribal nations. She picked up multiple jobs to make ends meet. That, in addition to caring for children, whittled down Brady's free time. So she invited reporter Ilana Newman over when she found a quiet moment—while skinning a deer—to talk about what the loss of solar funding meant to her and her community. “When the opportunity came up to work and help us get something established…it was huge,” she said.Brady was one of many Indigenous people working to build energy sovereignty for tribal nations—work that continues despite the administration clawing back federal funds. This week on Reveal, we're diving into how small communities across the country are navigating the current administration's policies and how they show up in everyone's lives, no matter where you are in this country.

    Senate Democrats were ready to shut down the government Friday night in order to get much-needed reforms to ICE and Border Patrol — but they didn't need to. On Thursday, they made a deal with Republicans and the White House to fund most of the federal government for the rest of the fiscal year. The Department of Homeland Security, however, will only be funded for two weeks while Senators negotiate some guardrails for ICE. So what happens now? To find out, we spoke with Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine on Thursday just before Senate Democrats announced their deal.And in headlines, President Trump hopes for Iranian regime change, the Justice Department files federal charges against the man accused of attacking Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar, and activists ask Americans to skip school, work, and shopping Friday to protest ongoing ICE operations.Show Notes: Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

    One of the biggest lessons from the clash between ICE and the citizens of Minneapolis is that communities are prepared to stand up for their neighbors.When Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU Nurse, became the second person killed by federal agents in Minneapolis this month, citizens were there to document the killing. Today, we're exploring how Minnesotans trained for this moment and how, despite deep cultural divides between them, they stood together in the face of government aggression.Brittany is joined by Adam Serwer, staff writer at The Atlantic, to unpack his time on the ground with communities in Minneapolis and the role of bystanders in these moments of state violence.

    The old world order is dying. What new world order — if any — is struggling to be born?I can't think of a week when it felt clearer that an era was coming to an end. Whatever people thought America was, at least for a couple of decades, it's something else now. The killing of Alex Pretti and the fact that it was recorded on video that plainly contradicted the Trump administration's initial narrative made that clear. Mark Carney, the prime minister of Canada, also drove home that point when he declared at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that the world was in the midst of a “rupture.”What do people think of America now in Europe? In China? And if American hegemony is coming to an end, what comes after that?Adam Tooze is a historian at Columbia University and a chronicler of crises. The Guardian recently called him “the crisis whisperer.” He's written a number of books about the times when systems fall apart and new orders emerge, including “Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World.” And on his Substack, Chartbook, he tracks the unfolding crises and power shifts, in particular the rise of China. He also had a front-row seat to the chaos of Davos last week, moderating a panel that included Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary.I wanted to talk to Tooze about what he saw at the World Economic Forum, how the world's understanding of the U.S. is changing and how he's making sense of this moment.Mentioned:Crashed by Adam Tooze“Chartbook” Substack by Adam Tooze“The Empty Chamber” by George Packer“The growing challenges for monetary policy in the current international monetary and financial system", speech by Mark CarneyBook Recommendations:Diary of a Madman and Other Stories by Lu XunThe Southern Tour by Jonathan ChatwinContext Collapse by Ryan RubyThoughts?

    On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down yet another chaotic day in Trump-world, starting with Trump attacking affordability and melting down further in a disastrous press conference, after he unleashed another barrage of deranged social media posts. We cover how ICE's campaign of terror continues despite swapping out leadership from Bovino to Tom Homan, as Trump's already-bad polling sinks even lower. Internationally, we examine Trump's dangerous moves with fringe Canadian separatists in Alberta and his use of familiar Russian-style divide-and-destabilize tactics, alongside critical updates on Iran, Syria, and Venezuela. Back at home, a government shutdown is looming now that MAGA Mike is gone, right-wing podcasters are suddenly turning on Trump, and new reporting exposes corruption, layoffs, and why Melania's movie is shaping up to be a massive flop. We also discuss the stunning FBI raid on the Fulton County election office tied to Trump's ongoing election conspiracy theories, and why all of it paints a clear picture of a regime, and a nation, in crisis.

    In the two months Minnesota has been under siege by federal agents, immigration officers have shot and killed two U.S. citizens, poet and artist Renee Good and ICU nurse Alex Pretti. Local and state law enforcement say they've been blocked from properly investigating the shootings of Good and Pretti. “The federal government has blocked our state BCA, so that's the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. They are the state law enforcement agency that has authority to investigate any kind of deadly use of force involving police,” says Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, who is leading local investigations into the killings of Good and Pretti. “We've not gotten anything from the federal government,” Moriarty says. “To tell you how odd this situation is, we are getting our information from the media ... we are not getting that from the federal government.” This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Akela Lacy speaks with Moriarty, whose office has jurisdiction over both killings. Moriarty says federal agents have blocked local and state law enforcement from properly investigating the killings. Even Moriarty, the top prosecutor in Minneapolis, does not know the identity of the agents who killed Pretti. In response, Moriarty says, “We set up a portal and asked the community to send any kind of videos or any other kind of evidence so that we could collect absolutely everything that we possibly could.” The BCA, she says, was even “blocked physically, actually, by federal agents from processing the scene where Alex Pretti was shot.”Meanwhile, attacks by the administration on Minnesota's Somali citizens persist. At her first town hall of the year in Minneapolis, an attendee sprayed Rep. Ilhan Omar with an unidentified substance on Tuesday. Trump has backtracked on some of his bluster and removed Border Patrol Gregory Bovino from Minnesota, replacing him with border czar Tom Homan. None of that has changed things on the ground yet in Minneapolis, says Moriarty. “Minnesotans care about their neighbors. They're delivering meals to people. They are there and they do not approve of the fact that their federal government is attacking them and their neighbors.“We hear a lot of people talking to us about how they understand the threat from the administration or from DHS on their neighbors and on their communities, and it's really much more rooted in an understanding that they think their freedoms are under threat, even if they are not an immigrant or even if they don't really have deep ties to immigrant communities, that this really matters to them and it really bothers them,” says Jill Garvey, co-director of States at the Core, an organization that leads and runs ICE Watch training programs. “So we hear a lot from folks who just haven't been engaged previously. But this for all those reasons is enough for them to step up.”Garvey says her organization is training community members in how to properly document ICE. “We also know that we can't stop all this aggression,” Garvey says. “The aggression is the point of these operations. So we can't guarantee that people aren't going to be targeted with violent actions from federal law enforcement. What we can say is, if you're doing this in community, other people are going to be watching.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

    In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we welcome Wisconsin Congressman Tom Tiffany, who shares his insights on the recent fiscal developments in Washington, D.C. After nearly six years, all 12 appropriations bills have been passed, marking a significant step towards fiscal responsibility. Congressman Tiffany discusses the implications of this achievement and how it might signal a long-term trend towards better financial management in the federal budget.We also delve into the controversial actions of Special Counsel Jack Smith, examining his history and approach to prosecuting cases, particularly those involving former President Trump. Congressman Tiffany highlights Smith's past controversies, including his connections to the IRS during the Obama administration and his track record in high-profile cases that have raised questions about his integrity as a prosecutor.As the discussion unfolds, we explore the ongoing investigations into the events surrounding January 6th, with Tiffany emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in the justice system. He raises concerns about the use of anti-Trump informants by the FBI and draws parallels to past issues surrounding the Russia collusion narrative, underscoring the importance of exposing the depth of corruption in Washington.Shifting gears, Congressman Tiffany shares his vision for Wisconsin as he campaigns for governor. He outlines his plans to combat high taxes, excessive regulations, and a failing education system, aiming to ensure that Wisconsin remains a beacon of prosperity rather than following the path of its neighbor, Minnesota. Tiffany emphasizes the need for a 'red tape reset' and a focus on traditional energy sources to revitalize the state's economy.Next, we hear from Brent Sadler from the Heritage Foundation. Sadler discusses the historical context of U.S. interests in Greenland, emphasizing its critical role in missile defense and the changing geopolitical landscape, particularly in light of increased Chinese presence on the island. The conversation shifts to the contrasting approaches of Western leaders at the Davos Summit, highlighting the ideological divide between President Trump's strength-based diplomacy and the appeasement strategies of other nations.We also explore the ramifications of Canadian Prime Minister Carney's recent actions regarding international relations, particularly his overtures towards China, and the potential consequences for Canadian security interests. Sadler reflects on the likelihood of a shift in Canadian policy under pressure from domestic and international realities.As tensions rise with Iran, Sadler analyzes the message sent by the U.S. military's strategic positioning and the importance of supporting the Iranian people amid ongoing protests against their regime. The discussion includes the potential for U.S. military action and the necessity of building a coalition to address the threats posed by Iran.Finally, we turn our attention to the escalating situation in Iran amidst ongoing protests and a government crackdown. Dr. Ali Safavi, a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, joins us to provide critical insights into the current state of unrest and the resilience of the Iranian people. He discusses the implications of the recent protests, emphasizing that while the regime's brutality may have momentarily slowed the uprising, the momentum for change remains strong and irreversible.Dr. Safavi details the fierce clashes occurring between rebellious youth and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), highlighting the courage and determination of the Iranian people as they confront oppressive forces. He draws parallels to historical protests, asserting that the will of the Iranian people will ultimately prevail against the regime's attempts to suppress dissent.We explore the role of the United States in this pivotal moment, with Dr. Safavi outlining potential strategies for the U.S. to support the Iranian resistance. He argues for a clear statement recognizing the rights of the Iranian people to overthrow their regime and the necessity of cutting off the regime's lifelines, particularly its oil revenues. The conversation also delves into the importance of holding Iranian leaders accountable for their actions and the need for international support of the Iranian people's struggle for freedom.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Bob is the created and owner of Trade Genius Academy. Bob also does a podcast on YouTube which is called Trade Genius. We're seeing a major shift right now with the EU and Canada cozying up to China in ways we haven’t seen before. With all this talk about tariffs and trade wars under Trump, countries like Canada under Carney are signing these big deals—lowering barriers on Chinese EVs, boosting energy and agri-food ties, and basically pivoting away from heavy US reliance.  With China restricting silver exports and their economy imploding internally, losing millions of jobs, gold’s breaking out as the safe haven. We’re talking potential five-figure prices, easy, because demand’s outpacing supply big time. Short-term dips from futures games? Sure, but come January with those restrictions kicking in, watch it rocket. If you’re not positioned in gold or related assets, you’re missing the boat—it’s the hedge against all this inflation moderation and geopolitical mess. With GDP growth holding strong at over 4% and us growing our way out of debt piles. Tariffs are bringing in billions, potentially paving the way for tax refunds or even scrapping income tax altogether. Now, on top of that, families are getting a boost with kids under four qualifying for up to $1,000 through expanded child tax credits in places like New York, and it’s rolling out nationally with adjustments. This puts real money back in people’s pockets, fuels consumer spending, and by 2026, we’re looking at game-changing shifts that cut federal waste and audit the Fed. It’s populist economics at work, and it’s going to change everything for the better. President Trump, including tariffs generating billions, moderated inflation due to reduced money supply, falling rents from deportations, lower drug and health insurance costs, stabilizing food prices, and declining energy costs amid opened supply gates. Bob predicts stable food prices, declining rents, moderated healthcare inflation, and energy prices potentially dropping further post-Russia-Ukraine resolution. The conversation covers Bitcoin’s possible dip to $58,000-62,000 as speculation shifts to gold and silver, with gold potentially reaching five figures and silver facing supply shortages due to China’s export restrictions and industrial demand. Bob believes tariffs will potentially enabling tax refunds, dividends, and even eliminating income tax, while criticizing past fraud, corruption in federal programs, and the need to audit the Fed

Over this period, central banks have added ~4,500 tonnes of gold, including unreported purchases. At the same time, foreign Treasury holdings have remained unchanged. Gold is redefining the global monetary system. Central banks maintain FX reserves—typically a mix of currencies, bonds, and assets like gold—to stabilize their currencies, manage liquidity, and hedge against economic shocks. U.S. Treasuries have long been the go-to asset because they’re considered ultra-safe, highly liquid, and backed by the world’s dominant reserve currency (the U.S. dollar, which still accounts for about 57% of global reserves). Gold, on the other hand, is a “neutral” asset: it’s not tied to any single government’s policies, can’t be printed at will, and serves as a hedge against inflation, currency debasement, and geopolitical risks.This crossover isn’t just a blip—it’s a structural change driven by several factors: Key Driver Explanation Impact Geopolitical Tensions and Sanctions Events like the Russia-Ukraine war (leading to frozen Russian assets) and U.S. actions (e.g., tariffs, interventions in Venezuela) have eroded trust in dollar-denominated assets. Countries fear their reserves could be seized or devalued overnight. theguardian.com Accelerates “de-dollarization” efforts, especially among BRICS nations (e.g., China, Russia, India), which now buy gold at 3–5 times pre-2022 levels, averaging 60 tons per month. finance.yahoo.com Gold’s share in reserves has doubled to over 25% in the past decade. newsmax.com Rising Gold Prices and Diversification Gold’s price surge (up 70% in 2025 alone) mechanically boosts its reserve value, but central banks are actively adding to holdings rather than selling Treasuries outright. mining.com This reflects a pivot away from U.S. debt amid concerns over America’s $35+ trillion national debt, persistent inflation, and fiscal policies under the Trump administration. fundssociety.com Gold is now the second-largest reserve asset after the dollar (overtaking the euro in 2024), signaling a re-regionalization of global finance where gold absorbs outflows from U.S. bonds. lfde.com The gold and U.S. debt markets are similarly sized (~$25–30 trillion each), making this shift feasible without massive disruptions. Central Bank Strategy Emerging market central banks (e.g., People’s Bank of China, Central Bank of Russia) are prioritizing gold for stability in a multipolar world, while developed banks hold steady. americanhartfordgold.com Net purchases hit 1,000+ tonnes in 2025, with forecasts for similar levels in 2026. gold.org Could push gold prices higher—analysts at Goldman Sachs see $5,400/oz by end-2026, while extreme scenarios (full USD reserve loss) speculate $39,000–$184,000/oz if gold backs global money supply. vaneck.com This isn’t about ditching the dollar entirely but reducing over-reliance.   If trends continue, it could lead to sustained gold demand, higher prices, and a more fragmented international financial landscape.

The bloc’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said EU foreign ministers took the “decisive step” because “repression cannot go unanswered”. She said ahead of the decision that the move would put the IRGC – a major military, economic and political force in Iran – on the same level as jihadist groups like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group.

So NO, Fulton County officials did not destroy these ballots, or tapes or any other federal election records THAT THEY ALREADY ADMITTED TO HAVING IN OFFCIAL COURT RULINGS BEGINNING 5 YEARS AGO.  https://twitter.com/DC_Draino/status/2016902941836198297?s=20 https://twitter.com/PatriotXV11/status/2016713624061116652?s=20 https://twitter.com/DAGToddBlanche/status/2016663357089001566?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2016663357089001566%7Ctwgr%5E18c7aab2309ab32958cb900c1fa5f6df8f16003a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fbreaking-president-trump-announces-first-ever-assistant-attorney%2F     https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2016594714569441286?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2016901410441289982?s=20 https://twitter.com/DoWCTO/status/2016577329393242364?s=20 3800 Q !!Hs1Jq13jV6 ID: e6ce6c No.7943347 Jan 28 2020 14:46:22 (EST) DurhamBoat.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durham_boat Anons found the subtle hint dropped in the beginning.
