With Trump's alarming death threats against Democratic leaders and his sickening support for authoritarian regimes and aggressive treatment of female reporters, the risk to democracy is soaring. On the home front, the US Ambassador is back to bullying us, demanding that Canada invest in fighter jets or else. Yet, while these pressures mount, Prime Minister Mark Carney is stepping up, cultivating strong international alliances and earning high praise from countries like Sweden—all while skillfully managing a substantial budget.Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre's so-called Clown Party of Canada is hiding behind the curtains during the budget vote they lost! On top of that, we have Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles being ousted from Queen's Park for courageously calling out Premier Ford's corruption amidst the #StripperGate scandal. It's undeniably been a whirlwind week in Canadian politics!Join host Laura Babcock and insightful guests Mark Cripps and Keith Leslie as they navigate these pressing issues with wit and vigour.

Join our member program here: https://israelguys.link/TIGmember Join the Land of Israel fellowship: https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/ This week on The Israel Guys, we dive into the growing question: Are the Abraham Accords coming to an end? With Trump meeting Middle Eastern leaders—including the Saudi Crown Prince—and elevating Saudi Arabia to a major non-NATO ally, many are wondering whether the U.S. is shifting away from the Accords' original purpose. Analysts like Lee Smith argue that Trump's recent moves signal a return to traditional U.S.–Saudi relations based on security and arms deals, not a push for Saudi–Israel normalization. If the Accords were designed to counter Iran, Smith says their mission may already be complete. We also examine why Saudi normalization could be riskier than it appears, offering Israel little strategic benefit while exposing Saudi Arabia to internal and regional instability—especially if tied to the Palestinian issue. Combined with Biden-era efforts that re-centered the Palestinian file and, some argue, empowered Iran, the region is at an inflection point. From shifting alliances to escalating tensions in Judea and Samaria, we break down what's really happening on the ground.

The gang digs into the House's overwhelming vote to force the public release of the Epstein files, a fight that spiraled into a rare bipartisan stampede after a discharge petition backed leadership into a corner. With Trump's behind the scenes pressure campaign failing to stop the momentum, the bill sailed through and now heads to the Senate. Then the group turns to shrinkflation, using Panera's new turnaround plan to ask whether companies are finally reversing years of portion cuts and ingredient downgrades.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:09:39 - Epstein00:53:30 - End of Shrinkflation01:11:53 - Emails01:37:23 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast.

The war on drugs isn't just a problem south of the border — it's a looming threat to U.S. cities and communities. From the rise of cartel influence in Mexico under President Claudia Sheinbaum to the growing danger to American law enforcement and border agents, this episode exposes the deadly intersection of organized crime and politics. We break down how cartel-backed assassinations of high-ranking Mexican officials highlight the stakes, discuss the flow of U.S. military equipment into cartel hands, and examine the threats facing American cities like Chicago, Portland, and Los Angeles. With Trump's warnings and tactical responses under the microscope, listeners get a front-row seat to the shadow war unfolding on both sides of the border.

The Todd Herman Show, produced by Grok:GROK - Podcast Episode Outline: "Faith in the Fight: How Democrats and Republicans Weaponize Christianity for Power"Episode Title: Faith in the Fight: How Democrats and Republicans Weaponize Christianity for PowerAir Date: Monday, November 17, 2025 (Recorded live from the studio on November 15)Host: [Your Host's Name], award-winning journalist and political commentatorProducer Notes: This episode unpacks the cynical ways both major U.S. parties invoke Christian faith to rally voters and justify policies in 2025's polarized landscape. With Trump's second term sparking debates over "Christian nationalism" via Project 2025 and Democrats countering with progressive "faith outreach" amid immigration raids and shutdown fallout, we'll highlight how scripture is twisted for electoral gain. Drawing on fresh polls, articles, and video clips, the show reveals the moral asymmetries and hypocrisies. Runtime: 50 minutes. Tone: Provocative yet balanced, blending outrage with nuance and guest debates. Music: Somber choral opener evoking hymns, shifting to urgent percussion for policy clashes.Episode Structure & Script Teaser1. Cold Open (0:00–3:00)Audio Hook: Montage of Trump's Bible-waving rally clips, Pelosi quoting St. Francis during the shutdown, and evangelical pastors endorsing deportations as "God's will."2. Segment 1: The Polls – What Christians Really Think (and Vote) (3:00–12:00)Focus: Dive into data showing stark divides: White evangelicals' lockstep GOP loyalty vs. Black Protestants' Democratic tilt, with independents disillusioned by both sides' faith pandering. Host reads synopses aloud, weaving in analysis on how parties exploit these splits.Key Talking Points:White Christians (41% of voters) gave Trump 72% support in 2024, per PRRI, seeing him as "God-ordained" (60% of white evangelicals agree). Republicans leverage this for anti-abortion and immigration policies framed as "biblical mandates."Black Protestants (83% for Harris) and Hispanic Catholics (50% Dem lean) prioritize social justice, which Democrats tie to "welcoming the stranger" (Matthew 25).Overall, 25% of voters believe God picked Trump; Christian nationalism correlates perfectly with Trump votes in red states. But 62% oppose declaring the U.S. a "Christian nation," signaling backlash to GOP theocracy pushes.Poll/SourceSynopsisLinkPRRI 2024 Post-Election American Values SurveyWhite Christians (41% of voters) backed Trump 72%, with 60% of white evangelicals believing God "ordained" his win; Black Protestants favored Harris 83%. Highlights GOP's "divine mandate" narrative vs. Dems' justice focus, but only 25% overall see God's hand in elections.PRRI.orgPew Research Center 2025 Survey on Religion & Politics59% of Protestants lean GOP, 50% of Catholics Republican (up from even split); 67% of Republicans want Bible influencing laws vs. 32% of Dems. Reveals parties' faith appeals: GOP pushes "Christian morals in policy," Dems emphasize church-state separation.PewResearch.orgPRRI 2025 State-Level Christian Nationalism SurveySupport for Christian nationalism (highest in MS/OK at 51%) perfectly correlates with Trump votes; 62% nationally oppose U.S. as "Christian nation." Exposes GOP's state-level theocracy push (e.g., embryo rulings) vs. Dems' opposition as "extremism."PRRI.org3. Segment 2: The Articles – Scripture as Strategy (12:00–28:00)Focus: Explore how Republicans fuse faith with nationalism (Project 2025) while Democrats rebrand as "compassionate Christians" on immigration and equity. Host discusses synopses, contrasting GOP's "moral restoration" with Dems' "perversion of Christianity" critiques.Key Talking Points:GOP: Project 2025 as "Christian nationalist fever dream," redefining freedom "by God, not man" to justify anti-LGBTQ+ and abortion bans.Dems: Shift to faith outreach (e.g., Pelosi's St. Francis invocation) to counter "Christian fascism," but accused of ignoring biblical basics like life sanctity.Both: Historical "poisonous bargain" since Reagan, turning faith into votes while eroding morals. X post [post:61] nails it: Pastors must call out Dem platform's "detestable" policies.Guest Spot: Historian [Guest Name] (e.g., Kristin Du Mez) debates a GOP strategist on whether Dems' "Christian socialism" or GOP's "theocracy" is the bigger threat.Producer Tip: Read X post [post:54] excerpt: "Dems enshrine sin in platform; GOP does not."
Navy Lt. Commander Thomas E. Caldwell disabled veteran in his sixties—was living peacefully on his Virginia family farm when FBI agents executed a pre-dawn SWAT raid. The charges? That he was a leader of the Oath Keepers who stormed the Capitol and "hunted down" members of Congress.Every single claim was false.Tom was never a member of the Oath Keepers. He never entered the Capitol. He never planned an attack. The Government has since admitted all of this—but only after Tom spent over 50 days in solitary confinement and endured years of prosecution. Navy Intelligence officer, acquitted of all conspiracy charges, Supreme Court victory - with documented proof of prosecutorial misconduct: Assistant U.S. Attorney lying to magistrates, DOJ perjury, falsified evidence. With Trump now reviewing FBI leadership and 4,000+ agents, Tom's story explains exactly why that matters. Plus, Tom's incredibly compelling on how faith sustained him through 53 days of solitary confinement and years of persecution.The Mouths of the Wicked releases November 6 WHY NOW: Tom's explosive new book, The Mouths of the Wicked: A True January 6 Story of Corruption, Persecution, Survival, and Victory, releases November 6. For years, he was legally silenced. Now pardoned, he's finally free to reveal everything—how the FBI made assumptions without investigation, how he corrected their "evidence" during interrogation, and how the media branded him a would-be assassin. All lies. All documented. THE NEWS HOOK: The Trump administration is conducting an unprecedented review of FBI leadership and the 4,000+ agents who worked Jan. 6 cases—raising urgent questions about investigative standards and accountability. Tom's case is documented proof of what went wrong: the FBI raided based on assumptions, held him 50+ days in solitary, then quietly admitted every charge was false. As the bureau faces scrutiny over its Jan. 6 investigations, Tom's story reveals the human cost of "arrest first, investigate later." YOUR AUDIENCE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS: The FBI raided based on ASSUMPTIONS—admitted they were wrong AFTER the arrest Held 50+ days in solitary for crimes the Government now admits he didn't commit Never entered the Capitol, yet branded a terrorist and assassin A disabled veteran in his sixties treated like a violent extremist First time telling the complete, unfiltered story Tom is a grandfather-aged Christian veteran who served his country honorably—only to have that government destroy his reputation and livelihood based on false accusations they later retracted. With The Mouths of the Wicked released November 6, he's finally telling the full truth. "Even a pardon does not bring full restoration." — Thomas E. Caldwell Feature: "FAKE NEWS!! CFACT.org @CFACTDonnaJackson - COP30: The usual suspects sound the alarm, but funding is diminishing By Peter Murphy| November 10th, 2025|11Comments Prince William speaks, but others are singing a newclimate tune Belém, Brazil The CFACT crew has descended upon this year’s UnitedNations 30th Conference of the Parties, hosted by the nation ofBrazil in the northern city of Belém. The adjacent and thought-to-be preciousAmazon rainforest received a major haircut to make way for the new AvenidaLiberdade highway and hotel space for this annual gabfest on climateexistentialism. Right on cue, world leaders began the proceedings to sound thealarm. The wrinkle for this year’s conference is that fewerpeople are listening to the familiar and shopworn admonitions about climateexistentialism to the planet, starting with the executive branch of thewealthiest nation and one of the top climate donors. Let’s start with the future king of the rapidly decliningBritish Empire, William, the Prince of Wales. Following in his father’s climatefootsteps, “Wills,” as his late mother, Diana, affectionately referred tohim, warned:“All of us here today understand that we are edging dangerously close to theearth’s critical tipping points … The melting of polar ice, the loss of theAmazon, the disruption of ocean currents … these are not distant threats. Theyare fast-approaching and will affect every one of us, no matter where we live.” Despite his vapid claim, “The science is clear,” theprince provided none in his speech. He should try next time with CFACT’s latest“Climate Fact Check” (here). William also praised his father, King Charles III, forinspiring him on the climate issue, and it shows. His speech had a familiarring, since then-Prince Charles said pretty much the same thing at COP26 inScotland back in 2021, which he summedup as the “last-chance saloon” for the planet Earth. His Royal Majesty the King has a longrecord of climate exaggerations and scaremongering that continue to bediscredited with the passage of time, yet it gives his son and successor nopause or humility on the subject. In 2009, Charles warned that “irretrievableclimate collapse” was just 100 months away. Just before 2017 came and went, herecalculated the point of no return to around 2050, thereby falling in linewith the UN groupthink goal of achieving “net-zero” carbon emissions worldwide. At this COP30, more than climate is changing, with atleast one long time activist and funder having second thoughts. Bill Gates,founder and former long-time head of the Microsoft Corporation and for a timethe wealthiest man on planet Earth, has been rethinking his approach to climateby shifting his fortune to other, more urgent priorities. This matters greatlysince he presides over the largest private foundation, valued at$86 billion. While he still views climate change as a “problem,” Mr.Gates said lastmonth, “It will not lead to humanity’s demise” — a statement that cuts the legsout from under the entire climate agenda. That is because if the planet’sfuture and humanity itself no longer hang in the balance, there is no reason tolight everyone’s hair on fire — and extract trillions of taxpayer dollars anddebt — to purportedly deal with the matter. Rather, Gates writes, “Our chief goal should be toprevent suffering, particularly for those in the toughest conditions who livein the world’s poorest countries.” This means curbing CO2 emissions willtake a distant back seat. The financial implications of this shift are significant.The massive Gates Foundation fortune shifting its priorities to fighting globalpoverty and disease in developing countries is money better spent. Trying tostop natural climate variations in one direction over the next 30 years willnot feed one malnourished child, nor will it stop another diseased child fromdying well before adulthood and the supposed climate Armageddon. Another big change at COP30 is the effect of democracyleading to the re-election of Donald Trump as president of the U.S., resultingin the absence of his administration at COP30. The president is defunding the“Green New Scam,” as he describes it, which we will explore later this week. Money is the mother’s milk of the climate industry.Having the richest country and the richest benefactor either pull the plug orshift priorities is a very big deal. Which brings us back to Prince William. Notwithstandingthe British royal family’s climate silliness and hypocrisy, Igive credit to William and his lovely wife, Kate, who otherwise are genuine andcommitted public servants, in contrast to their pretentious grifter relatives residingeight time zones westward. With King Charles, who turns 77 this week and hasbeen fighting cancer for two years, William will soon ascend to the throne ashead of state to a rapidly declining Great Britain with a growing litany oftroubles and crises that eclipse esoteric climate change. Now that Prince William’s climate trek to Brazil and hisvirtue-signaling speech are behind him, he should focus his nation on energydevelopment, the economy, migrant issues, and his nation’s assault on freespeech, to name a few much higher priorities than climate. CFACT isat the Brazil climate conference where the UN has learned nothing By Craig Rucker| CFACT This year’s big UN climate summit opens today in Belem,Brazil, and CFACT’s team of policy experts is there! President Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord,coupled with his epic takedown ofclimate dogma at the UN General Assembly, has sent shockwaves through the UNclimate establishment. While the U.S. may be boycotting the conference, UNCOP30 is kicking off today solidly under Trump’s shadow. It is time for the President to lead us even further. CFACT said in a press release: “CNN has already hyped COP30 as ‘one of the mostconsequential climate summits in a decade’ — but it could prove even morehistoric. For the first time since the U.S. signed the 1992 Rio Earth Summittreaty, there will be no official U.S. delegation present.” “Undeterred, CFACT’s team of U.S. climate skeptics isstepping up as the self-declared ‘unofficial’ U.S. delegation to COP30. They’llbe on the ground to amplify Bill Gates’ recent climate realism — that climatechange ‘will not lead to humanity’s demise’ — while backing the more than100 nations that have yet to submit their so-called ‘required’ plans tothe UN for hitting the Paris Accord’s net-zero targets. “CFACT will also expose the clear-cutting of thousands ofacres of the tropical Amazon rainforest to build a highway to accommodatethe COP30 event.” Team Climate will not relinquish a dollar of funding or anounce of power without a fight. Rachel Cleetus, of the Union ofConcerned Scientists said, “No country, including the United Statesthat is now being led by an anti-science, increasingly authoritarian Trumpadministration, can stop global climate action … The question is, is it goingto accelerate fast enough, given the dire space we’re in now with the climatecrisis? We have this rapidly shrinking window. The science is absolutelystark.” We’re hearing a lot of similar talk at the conference. Peter Murphy explains at CFACT.org that “moneyis the mother’s milk of the climate industry. Having the richestcountry and the richest benefactor either pull the plug or shift priorities isa very big deal.” While President Trump’s actions represent tremendousprogress in the fight to reestablish climate realism, the UN climate processremains incredibly dangerous.

Tom's case is documented proof of what went wrong: the FBI raided based on assumptions, held him 50+ days in solitary, then quietly admitted every charge was false. As the bureau faces scrutiny over its Jan. 6 investigations, Tom's story reveals the human cost of "arrest first, investigate later." YOUR AUDIENCE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS: The FBI raided based on ASSUMPTIONS—admitted they were wrong AFTER the arrest Held 50+ days in solitary for crimes the Government now admits he didn't commit Never entered the Capitol, yet branded a terrorist and assassin A disabled veteran in his sixties treated like a violent extremist First time telling the complete, unfiltered story Tom is a grandfather-aged Christian veteran who served his country honorably—only to have that government destroy his reputation and livelihood based on false accusations they later retracted. With The Mouths of the Wicked releasing November 6, he's finally telling the full truth. "Even a pardon does not bring full restoration." — Thomas E.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about President Donald Trump's announcement of 50 year mortgages which the Housing Director has confirmed the administration is working on. We've seen this before, but not to this extent. This has always signified recession and housing collapse which goes back to the 30 year mortgages issued in 2007, or the credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations. Even the most pro-Trump influencers like Matt Walsh are calling this out. This isn't what people thought they were voting for. Unfortunately, we tried to warn people and were simply called blackpilled. With Trump's close friendship with BlackRock and Larry Fink, one should ask what the overall agenda is. With Fink taking over at the WEF and the push for digital currencies, digital IDs and "owning nothing," this news is certainly concerning. Being in debt until the end of time to a system that wants to control our every move is a surefire way to bow the knee and put ourselves in a situation where there is no escape. Mark who has run a mortgage company breaks down his thoughts on this news as well as the massive move towards gold and silver which as of today broke resistance on a big leg up.

Nick Anderson/Raw Story On this week's show... The Donald Trump Hunger Games begin with the administration doing as little as possible to comply with a court-ordered continuation of SNAP Benefits. For millions of Americans, it means going hungry … just not quite as hungry as Trump had wanted. The Trump shutdown is officially the longest in U.S. history, surpassing the record of 35 days set during the first Trump term. With Trump's administration failing on the economy, foreign policy, healthcare and basic competence in the background, Democrats sweep the handful of off-year elections including flipping Virginia's governor's office and holding on in New Jersey. We'll do a post-mortem on the election, and the impact on Michigan politics, with former Obama Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri. Two updates on Michigan's congressional races: a familiar name enters the GOP primary to replace John James, and new polling shows Lansing-area Congressman Tom Barrett trailing two relatively unknown Democrats. A former top aide to former state House Speaker Lee Chatfield pleads guilty to assorted corruption charges ... and agrees to testify against his former boss. The latest political shocker nationally: Marjorie Taylor Greene is talking about running for President. Of the United States. Yes, that MTG! And the Subway Sandwich Terrorism trial has ended with an acquittal. Sean Dunn was charged with misdemeanor assault after hitting a federal agent with a “sub-style sandwich.” Apparently ICE agents consider mustard a weapon of mass destruction...but the prosecution's case, it turns out, was toast. Dunn reportedly relished the decision. There were, of course, a lot of significant elections on Tuesday. Joining the post-election analysis is guest commentator Jennifer Palmieri. Her credentials include three years as Barack Obama's Communications Director and then Director of Communications for the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign. Before her service at the White House, she was the National Press Secretary for the 2004 John Edwards presidential campaign and for the Democratic National Committee in 2002, after a brief time at the advocacy group Americans for Gun Safety. She served in the Clinton Administration as Special Assistant to White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, deputy director of Scheduling and Advance, and finally as a Deputy White House Press Secretary. More recently she co-hosted the political documentary series "The Circus" on Showtime with John Heilman, Alex Wagner and Mark McKinnon. drewsheneman.substack.com
On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck reacts to Democrats outperforming expectations across the board in Tuesday’s elections — from New Jersey to Georgia — signaling a sharp political rebuke of Donald Trump and his influence over the GOP. He breaks down why the results were more than just a good night for Democrats, how high electric bills and cost-of-living concerns shaped key races, and why even Republican strongholds are starting to shift. With Trump’s tariffs facing likely Supreme Court scrutiny and voters blaming Republicans for the government shutdown, this week’s results could reshape not just the midterm landscape but the future of both parties. Finally, he answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and previews the upcoming weekend in college football. Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos.

D.C. representative Oye Owolewa and Executive Director for Puerto Rico 51st George Laws Garcia join Chuck Todd for a deep dive into one of America’s most overlooked democratic debates — the fight for statehood for Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. With over 3 million Americans lacking full representation in Congress, Chuck explores the political, constitutional, and cultural hurdles standing in the way. From Puerto Rico’s 58% support for statehood to the District’s struggle under federal oversight, the episode unpacks how history, partisanship, and outdated systems continue to stall progress. The conversation dives into whether D.C. and Puerto Rico would need to enter as a political “duo”, why half measures like expanded autonomy wouldn’t hold up, and how the economic and tax inequalities faced by both territories have real-world consequences. With bipartisan murmurs of support and the next generation of lawmakers pushing the issue, Chuck asks: is America finally ready to welcome its 51st — and maybe 52nd — states?

With Trump slashing SNAP benefits, Gov. Beshear is asking the people of Kentucky to look out for their neighbors so they don't go hungry—since the administration won't. Meanwhile, Trump's tariffs are hammering farmers in the Bluegrass State at the same time Republicans are sabotaging rural healthcare. And reporting from Chicago, Moran finds his hometown still full of tough, independent people who won't be pushed around. True to form: Moms, bystanders, and priests are standing up to immigration agents while Trump tries to flex the full force of his authoritarian ambitions. Plus, Norah O'Donnell did not stand up for the truth, and the legacy and patriotism of Dick Cheney. Gov.

Angela Mancini, Partner and Head of Global Risk Analysis at Control Risks, talks with “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to decode a whirlwind of geopolitical and security developments shaping Asia’s risk landscape. We unpack the high-stakes diplomacy between the U.S. and China, as President Trump announces a rare earths deal and tariff cuts following talks with President Xi. With Trump skipping the APEC Summit, China’s Xi Jinping seizes the moment to assert regional leadership—what does this power play mean for trade, influence, and stability in the Indo-Pacific? We also examine the regional implications of Trump’s praise for Japan’s first female Prime Minister and the strategic significance of their bilateral agreements. Meanwhile, closer to home, Singapore authorities have seized over S$150 million in assets linked to a Cambodia-based scam syndicate—raising fresh concerns about illicit finance and cross-border criminal networks. Angela her insights into how these developments intersect, what they signal for businesses and why geopolitical risk management is no longer optional in today’s volatile world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Is America headed for war with Venezuela? On The Mark Thompson Show, we've been following the strikes against what the Trump Administration claims are "narco-boats" carrying drugs to the US and other countries. Though no proof has been offered in support of that, America continues to blast small boats off the coast of Venezuela to smithereens. So far, the US has blown up at least seven such boats, killing dozens of people. Trump is declaring an “armed conflict” with drug trafficking groups he has deemed international terrorists. He is also positioning dozens of warships, planes and thousands of U.S. troops in the Caribbean Sea. He admitted authorizing CIA covert operations in Venezuela. In addition, Trump is escalating tensions with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, saying he was illegitimately elected and is leading a narcotics cartel. Trump says he is ready to go further than blowing up boats: “we're going to stop them by land." All of this is raising concerns that the US could be marching toward war with Venezuela. With Trump poised to send National Guard troops into Portland and Chicago and threatening to do so in San Francisco, we will look at the court decisions preventing him from making such moves, for now. Former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz will explain. Nathan Taylor from Election Truth Alliance will stop in to update us on his work to shine a light on data he claims indicates possible trouble with the results of the 2024 election of President Trump.

With Trump's health visibly in decline, attention is shifting to Peter Thiel's invention, JD Vance, who may soon be president. Which means Thiel, a billionaire doomsday prepper who thinks the Anti-Christ is Greta Thunberg, could effectively rule the world. What does Thiel's obsession with the Anti-Christ reveal about how we can resist him? Thiel's worldview isn't just weird Silicon Valley paranoia; it's vintage fascist fan fiction. His ideas trace back to Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, who justified Hitler's violent purges as necessary for “saving civilization.” Schmitt's argument was simple and horrifying: democracy is too weak, so we need a strongman to suspend the rules. Thiel recycles Schmitt's logic in a twenty-first-century sermon on why democracy itself is the real threat. In Thiel's version, collective action to solve global crises like man-made climate change is the definition of evil. So you know what to do, folks: double down on building collective action. In Part One of our conversation with journalist Gil Duran, of the Nerd Reich newsletter, that tracks Silicon Valley's billionaire Bond villains, we dig into Thiel's apocalyptic delusions, how they shape his politics, and why it's a very big deal that a man this afraid of democracy has his hands in everything from expanding government surveillance to election data. Part Two will be out this Thursday, with a special look at Thiel and Trump's Big Brother–their latest efforts to establish a Chinese-style surveillance state. Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Jon Herold and Burning Bright go deep into the mechanics of global power as they unpack new revelations surrounding James Comey's indictment and Trump's strategic counteroffensive. The hosts explore how legacy intelligence networks, born from CIA covert programs and wartime continuity planning, are collapsing under their own corruption. They connect the dots between modern color revolutions, the infiltration of Western institutions, and the spiritual decay fueling the Deep State's desperation. With Trump's shutdown tactics, his National Guard maneuvers, and the unraveling of long-protected elites now taking center stage, Jon and Burning argue that the machine isn't just breaking, it's being dismantled by design. Packed with historical context, decoded symbology, and razor-sharp analysis, this episode captures the sense that the global order is finally running out of time.
A-BLOCK (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: TRUMP SUDDENLY SPECULATES ABOUT LIFE WITHOUT HIM: From anybody else it would be trivia. From Trump this is startling. Buried in an ordinary narcissistic flight: "It'll be very unfair in the future when they (Republicans) don't have Trump to fight for them." That quote, might be the biggest headline Trump has made this year and it sailed RIGHT past the American news media yesterday. What in the HELL did he mean by that and more importantly why did he suddenly acknowledge there is an end, maybe soon? After being MIA for five days – no live public viewing of him, just one video that according to White House time stamps took more than two hours to produce even though it only required him to try to speak for a minute-ten… he EMERGED with what was, even for him, such an utterly bizarre and especially vulnerable admission. He was out of view for FIVE DAYS. FIVE. From that bizarre “please clap” speech before the Generals at Quantico on Tuesday – the Pete Hegseth International Day of Military Hair Care Symposium and Product Sampling – through yesterday morning when he managed to stagger out of the White House, blast a series of non sequitirs at the press pool, and then go to another military celebration for which we have the money even in the middle of his shutdown of the government. Nobody asked: HOW have you been, WHERE have you been, WHAT are they treating you for, WHAT does that "when they don't have (you) to fight for them" quote mean? Because again, as in the week he went MIA at the beginning of LAST month, nobody had a clue what would take a man with compulsive talking disease and an ego so large it has own it zip code, from appearing in front of crowds and cameras for FIVE DAYS. And THEN Trump went in front of the Navy and said he warned about Osama Bin Laden last year, and told Pete Hegseth about it a year before 9/11, and claimed he was president in 2016 but they fixed the 2016 election, but they ran it again and he "got 250." What. In The Hell. Is Wrong. With Trump’s Health? B-Block (27:44) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: A $1 Trump coin? Ten cents per chin? Ian Miles Cheong doesn't think they'll eat his face. Noem and Lewandowski think they'll find undocumented immigrants attending the Super Bowl. And Kristi really has to go to the toilet. THIS IS OFFICIAL BUSINESS! C-Block (38:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Well, here we are. Fifty years ago Tuesday night, at 11:15 PM, I did my first broadcast on an actual radio station with advertisers and listeners. I was 16 and it's not bad for 16 and for the fact that my much older colleagues at WVBR-FM did a superb job of hazing me. And yes, that first broadcast is still extant, as you'll hear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Daily Beast's must-read legal columnist Shan Wu joins the Beast's Hugh Dougherty to dissect Trump's shaky case against James Comey. Wu, a former federal prosecutor, explains why the indictment reeks of politics: a weak grand jury vote, rookie prosecutors sent to do Trump's dirty work, and a DOJ reshaped into a loyalty machine. He lays out the defense playbook, from motions to dismiss to jury battles, and warns how much damage the spectacle will inflict on Comey and the justice system itself. With Trump burning political capital chasing old enemies as crises mount at home and abroad, the question becomes: is this justice or just Trump's vengeance dressed up in legal robes?

Have we finally, at long last, reached the beginning of the end of the MAGA craze, when America says, you know, maybe it's not a good idea to let a demented authoritarian run the country. With Trump playing the role of Senator McCarthy and Jimmy Kimmel playing the role of Edward R. Murrow? Ben riffs. Congresswoman Robin Kelly explains why she thinks progressives should vote for her in the Democratic primary to replace Senator Durbin. Also, Robin's take on the congressional leadership of Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Charles Schumer. And her position on gun laws and health care. And her thoughts about Trump--and more.

In this Wide World segment “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys talk with H.E. Kateryna Zelenko, Ukraine’s Ambassador to Singapore, following Ukraine’s National Day and high-stakes meetings between President Trump, President Zelenskyy, and President Putin. With Trump publicly stating that Putin “let him down” over the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and Ukrainian officials declaring Trump “the only person able to end this war”, the diplomatic landscape is shifting. Ambassador Zelenko shares Ukraine’s perspective on the latest battlefield developments, including reclaimed territory near Dobropillia, and the humanitarian toll of recent body exchanges. We also unpack the EU’s 19th sanctions package, targeting Russian energy giants and shadow fleet vessels in response to escalating drone strikes on Kyiv, Poland, and Romania.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Daily Beast's unmissable columnist David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles to dive into what he calls one of Donald Trump's most chaotic weeks yet. The 79-year-old president has been jeered at by protesters across a dining table, faced mounting health concerns, dealt with the assassination of his acolyte, Charlie Kirk, while abroad, his foreign policy has stumbled. Rothkopf, CEO of TRG Media and a foreign policy expert, argues Trump looks increasingly fragile, physically and politically, as allies squirm with embarrassment and rivals like Putin and Xi Jinping test his weakness. Coles and Rothkopf examine America's rising tide of political violence, driven by alienated young men and a culture awash in guns, and note Utah Governor Spencer Cox's surprising emergence as a voice of civility. With Trump leaning on inept advisers, losing grip on his narrative, and facing international mistrust, Rothkopf asks whether we are witnessing not just the decline of a president, but the slow unraveling of Trumpism itself.

JB White returns with a fiery Monday edition of the RattlerGator Report, mixing college football passion with hard-hitting cultural and political commentary. He opens by defending Florida's coach Billy Napier after a tough loss, blasting fans who don't know how to lose gracefully, and reflecting on how NIL money and high school training have changed the game. From there, JB pivots to international issues, taking aim at Britain's decades-long cover-up of Pakistani grooming gangs and the cowardice of white men who looked away. He ties this into a broader discussion of propaganda, free speech, and how Elon Musk's X is exposing truths the BBC and elites try to bury. The episode crescendos with JB's “Back at Ya” battle plan theory, framing Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Michael Saylor as disruptors in government, business, and finance. With Trump renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War, JB argues America is in a new phase of fifth-generation warfare, with Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and Michael Saylor as the Delta Force of economic disruption. Equal parts rant, revelation, and rallying cry, this episode captures JB's trademark Southern fire.
The race to succeed Jagmeet Singh has begun, but most of the NDP's big names are steering clear. Post-election, vibes within the party have been bleak, mired with handwringing, infighting, and no clear guiding vision.

Original Live Title RFK & Miran at Senate; FL Vaccine Mandates; Abortion Pill; Tariffs &Deportation | Yaron Brook Show | September 4, 2025When politics descends into a circus, who's really paying the price? From RFK's Senate drama and Miran's grandstanding to Florida's authoritarian vaccine mandates, America's culture wars rage on. Add in the Left/Right battle over the abortion pill, Trumpian tariff lies, and calls for mass deportation—and you get the perfect storm of bad ideas.Yaron Brook slices through the noise with unapologetic clarity, exposing the irrationality, tribalism, and dangers behind today's politics. Neither Left nor Right escapes critique—because freedom, reason, and individual rights demand honesty.Key Time Stamps:01:15 Free Press07:05 National Conservatism Conference37:05 RFK43:20 Miran45:45 FL Vaccine Mandates49:20 Abortion Pill54:50 Tariffs56:30 Deportation1:00:00 Announcement https://randsdaycon.thebvh.com/Live Questions:1:11:47 Another interesting thing about Rand was that she frequently thought of and identified the motives behind ideas and actions without resorting to psychoanalyzing.

Do you think that's correlated with skepticism/cynicism?1:22:06 Why do some grow up trying to think in principles despite their education, and others don't?1:23:52 Does the Left have more respect for human rights than the Right? Respect for due process and humane treatment of detainees and prisoners?1:25:46 On yesterday's show, you said: "Ayn Rand didn't convince that many people, but maybe she convinced the most important people". What did you mean by that?1:27:10 When Tom Snyder asked Rand what she meant by selfishness, she referenced self-esteem, and that one should “respect one's mind”. What does respecting one's mind entail?1:29:08 When a crony politician is accused of acting in "self-interest" against the "interest" of the people, what's a better term than "self-interest"?1:30:37 When evaluating selfishness, are people not so much put off by the idea of you pursuing your values and achieving your happiness, but a perceived ugliness of not caring about others?1:32:20 Could hospitals now say, “Want to deliver your baby at Hospital A, B, or C? You must get these specific vaccines for our NICU ward's protection.” ?1:32:50 If the S&P500 booms 4k points after the tariffs are shut down, would Trump reconsider tariffs?

I'm tuning in just after one of the most dramatic stretches in recent American political history, as the legal storm surrounding former President Donald Trump's court trials hits new highs. Let's jump right in—the courtroom battles featuring Trump have been exploding across national headlines, from Washington D.C. to California and beyond.Over the past few days, the nation's attention has been gripped by a federal judge's ruling out in California. California Attorney General Rob Bonta confirmed that President Trump's deployment of federalized California National Guard troops and Marines for civilian law enforcement in Los Angeles was in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, that foundational law limiting the military's role on our soil. According to Bonta, the District Court not only found Trump's actions unlawful, but also permanently blocked the administration from engaging in similar behavior in future, whether for arrests, riot control, or evidence gathering. The judge's order is stayed only until September 12th, making this a pivotal moment for executive reach and civil liberties.Meanwhile, the legal calendars covering Trump's trials have become almost as tangled as the cases themselves. After the U.S. Supreme Court weighed in on Trump's presidential immunity claims in early August, the D.C. Circuit Court handed jurisdiction back to Judge Tanya Chutkan. However, the most recent scheduling order—coming just this week—has paused all pretrial deadlines until late October, essentially putting everything on hold in the Washington election subversion case. With time ticking away under the Speedy Trial Act, legal experts say this delay throws uncertainty over the proceedings, especially as appeals and procedural wrangling continue.It's not just criminal matters. On the civil side, Trump's legal team is still grappling with the fallout from previous verdicts, notably those involving E. Jean Carroll's defamation suits. The appeals are underway at the Second Circuit, but movement has slowed as defense attorneys look for openings in the appeals process. These cases, filed back in 2020 and 2022, have been persistent thorns in Trump's side, flaring up anew with each ruling.Also in the mix is the Democratic National Committee's lawsuit, challenging Trump's use of Executive Order 14215 to sway the Federal Election Commission. The U.S. District Court in D.C. dismissed the challenge earlier this summer, citing a lack of concrete injury. Still, with the FEC's independence on the line, insiders expect the issue to resurface as the end of election season nears.With Trump back in office, there's no shortage of Supreme Court petitions—over four dozen right now—ranging from immigration to telemarketing, tax laws, and challenges to federal policy moves dating back years. The administration is wielding the emergency docket as a powerful tool, regularly pressing to overturn lower court decisions and keep executive power front and center.So, as the clock moves forward, these cases are more than just legal drama—they're signposts of where America's institutions stand and how the rule of law will look in a rapidly shifting political landscape.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the Trump–Putin Alaska Summit, a high-stakes meeting that could reshape the future of the Ukraine war and America's role on the global stage. From what we know about the talks, to what remains hidden behind closed doors, to the furious backlash from Democrats and foreign policy elites who've failed for decades, Professor Giordano explains the truth about the summit and why this moment matters. With Trump preparing to meet Zelensky and European leaders next, the path forward could decide whether the Russia-Ukraine war finally ends or drags on indefinitely. Episode Highlights Key takeaways from the Trump–Putin Alaska Summit and what was said publicly versus privately. Why Democrats and foreign policy elites are outraged and how their failed track record explains it. What comes next as Trump readies for critical meetings with Zelensky and European leaders.
Harley Schlanger, a historian and national spokesman with expertise in the financial industry since the 1980s, offers insights through The LaRouche Organization, where followers can access his analyses on geopolitics and economics. In his recent discussion, Schlanger argues that the [DS], or Deep State, targeted Russia due to its threat to their envisioned new world order, actively preventing any U.S.-Russia alliance that could promote cooperation and undermine globalist control. This opposition mirrors their resistance to former President Trump's efforts to improve relations with Russia, using investigations and media campaigns to thwart his initiatives, while leveraging Ukraine as a proxy to escalate tensions and block partnerships. Schlanger highlights how Ukraine has served as a tool for sanctions, NATO expansion, and conflicts that distract from Western domestic issues and benefit elites. With Trump's renewed focus on peace negotiations and diplomatic resets, this agenda faces direct challenges, potentially leading to collaborative projects and reduced divisions. As the [DS] structure crumbles amid economic instability and public scrutiny, Schlanger predicts that dismantling the Federal Reserve—seen as a pillar of elite power—will mark the endgame, paving the way for sovereign policies and international equity.
After Rep. Jason Crow was turned away from the ICE detention center in Aurora a few weeks ago, he and Colorado's three other Democratic members of the House were finally granted access this week for a tour. So what did they see? And what does it have to do with the new detention center ICE wants to open north of the city? With Trump taking unprecedented control of the police in DC, State Sen.

The streets of Washington, DC will soon be patrolled by 800 National Guard troops, the city's police will be under federal control for the first time in their history, and homeless people will be forced to leave. According to President Trump, it's all necessary to tackle a purported wave of lawlessness. And while crime is certainly a problem in the capital, Trump's description of a public safety emergency told a slightly different story than the statistics. There's actually been a decrease in crime, with violent crime at a 30-year low. With Trump hinting that Washington is just the first city to face these measures, what does this say about his exertion of executive power? Andrew McCabe was the acting FBI Director in the first Trump administration, he joins the program to discuss.

As Washington, D.C. faces soaring crime rates, President Trump prepares to address the crisis, backed by National Guard readiness and FBI patrols. Restaurant owner Noah Landini and former Assistant Attorney General Kully Stimson detail how failed leadership, a Marxist-style “oppressor vs. oppressed” justice system, and deliberate under-staffing of prosecutors have fueled lawlessness. With Trump pledging decisive action—including new judges and federal prosecutors—the fight to reclaim the capital is set to intensify.
Has your family visited any of America's phenomenal national parks or historical sites this summer? What treasures they are!Also, visits to these jewels are enriched by the deeply-knowledgeable Park Service staff. And, of course, there's the extra-special bonus that the Trump regime has added to our public parks this year: Political censorship.With Trump issuing his dizzying blizzard of right-wing executive orders, you might've missed the one in March commanding the Park Service to scrutinize all of its public exhibits, signs, websites, videos, and other materials. Why? To flag and delete any scrap of information that Trump's right-wing cultural cops consider to be “negative” historical content about America.Sure enough, the Interior Department's political overseers promptly compelled staffs at the Park Service's 433 locations to go on a witch hunt for ideological impurity. In particular, any suggestion that racism, oppression, autocracy, and violence have been common features of the American experience have been decreed verboten. And, to assure a thorough cleansing of history, MAGA posses have been invited to go to historic sites and tag items they don't like. Trump operatives say that by mid-September, they will have removed, deleted, or – get this – physically covered-up the inconvenient truths of our people's history.They're like one-year-olds who think if they cover their eyes, we can't see them. Well, peek-a-boo! A rebellious coalition called “Save Our Signs,” is asking grassroots people to take photos and videos of Park Service exhibits before they're hidden away. Then, SOS will display samples of the banned material online so We the People can see the inanity of Trump's 1984ish Newspeak censorship.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmDonald Trump is trying desperately to bury the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. In this episode, Matt and Brian explore all the distractions Trump has attempted—implicitly and explicitly—to knock the Epstein files out of the news, why Trump is so desperate and why are his usual tactics failing.* Should we at this point suspect this is a coverup of damning evidence of Trump's conduct specifically?* If the story is just that Epstein conspiracy theories are all bunk, why bother with distractions or incriminating claims (like that Hillary Clinton and James Comey forged the Epstein files)?* With Trump finally on the hind foot, why are elite institutions like Columbia University going out of their way to surrender to Trump's threats?Then, behind the paywall, do the new tariff “agreements” Trump has struck with Japan and the E.U. count as distractions from the Epstein scandal, or are they on their own track? What's in the deals? How much harm will they do to American importers and consumers? And how meaningful can they be if they're as illegal as they seem?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:* Matt on repairing the tax code after Trump.* Brian argues we the discourse should shift from whether Trump is engaged in an Epstein coverup, to grappling with the truly dark things Trump is covering up, and what the consequences should be. * Philip Bump debunks Trump's main Epstein distraction.
