Audio Episode
Chief, who is controlling those who rioted against the NYPD the other night? They seemed well organized…
This gang member allegedly terrorized those in his own Bronx neighborhood; and yet, Mamdani was not interested in their public safety, only using this for his own; for their own political advantage.
Federal sources said it’s believed Belgal slipped into the US with a migrant caravan in 2022 without encountering border patrol.
By December 2023, the illegal-gang member had been arrested for the armed robbery a month prior, according to authorities and court records.
Belgal was driving with two people in the backseat along Morris Avenue, when he turned and pointed a gun at them while demanding “give me your jewelry or I will shoot you,” according to the criminal complaint.
The victims handed over jewelry and about $500 cash, and Belgal was later caught — but then released without bail pending trial, records showed. This is whom Mamdani referred to as a New Yorker?
His shooting sparked widespread outrage from lefty New York pols and anti-ICE protesters, who swarmed New York-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, where cops brought Belgal in the aftermath — before he was swept away by the feds in a car. How did this mob assemble and spring into action so quickly?
And now those behind Belgal being here in the first place, what the Commissioner to resign. Id the NYPD was not assisting ICE, was this organized riot an attempt to get Tish fired by someone they control (Mamdani)?
Chief, tell us about the dedication to the NYPD yesterday?
Has our distrust in Big Pharma already slowing down the production of medical treatments needed now; and in…
Is it possible, now that politics is heavily involved in our pharmaceutical industry, that lives are already being lost?
How do you save this critical industry in this, an age of distrust?
How does public health work with pharmaceutical industry, when neither are trusted in America right now?
Dr. Jeremy M. Levin is Executive Chairman of Ovid Therapeutics (NASDAQ: OVID), a biotechnology company developing novel medicines for serious neurological diseases. He is also Chairman Emeritus of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), the world’s largest biotechnology trade association. Before founding Ovid, Dr. Levin was President and CEO of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, leading global operations across more than 140 countries.
Trump's new science push: Is America losing the race for its own medicines?
While Washington focuses on the future of American science, China has announced a national plan to challenge America’s leadership in developing the medicines we depend on.
China wants to develop at least 25% of the world’s first-in-class drugs by 2030, grow its innovative pharmaceutical industry by at least 20% annually, and become a global biotechnology powerhouse.
Meanwhile, American pharmaceutical companies are committing billions to licensing medicines developed in China, helping to finance the very industry that may eventually displace American leadership.
What you are saying is, essentially, that while U.S. pharmaceutical companies are busy cutting their ties with China manufacturing of existing drugs, China has accelerated their pace to lead the world, and control new medicines and treatments?

When did confronting Islamist extremism become “Islamophobia”?
In a new piece for The Blaze, Heritage Foundation senior research fellow Simon Hankinson argues that America is losing an important distinction: fear of Muslims is one thing. Recognizing the threat of Islamist extremism is another.
Twenty-five years after 9/11, a generation is growing up with little memory of the attacks, while debates over terrorism, religion, and free speech continue. Hankinson warns that efforts to broadly define “Islamophobia” could make it harder to speak honestly about Islamist extremism.
Are Americans becoming afraid to speak honestly about Islamist extremism?
What have younger generations forgotten about 9/11?

Amongst the promises of “MEDICARE FOR ALL,” comes reality for those who rely on Obamacare for their health…
After raising premiums for Affordable Care Act plans by more than 20 percent in 2026, health insurers have now proposed a 15 percent rate increase for 2027.
Recent actions by Congress and the Trump administration have made ACA health plans less affordable by ending enhanced premium tax credits and hampering enrollment efforts.
For people who get their health insurance plans in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace, coverage became much less affordable in 2026. Insurers increased premiums by more than 20 percent; the average “benchmark” premium before tax credits jumped from $497 per month in 2025 to $625 in 2026. These increases were partly the result of actions federal policymakers took — for instance, slashing the tax credit some people received to reduce their health plan premiums and imposing new restrictions on enrollment. Predictably, as premiums rose and financial assistance shrank, consumers’ payments soared and enrollment dropped sharply.
Consumers will get no relief in 2027. Insurers have proposed a median 15 percent rate increase for 2027, with significant variation across insurers and states. These back-to-back double-digit rate increases are the highest we’ve seen in the marketplace since 2018 and follow five years of relatively flat premiums, with average increases of only 2 percent per year for the benchmark plan. Insurer rate filings for 2026 and 2027 reveal that the federal policy changes to the ACA are contributing to these significant rate increases.

Iran's Guards say container ship sinks in Strait of Hormuz after hitting mine

The Sherman Act Is Not a Presidential Security Blanket!
Robert, can you provide the history and reason for the Sherman Act?
Certain media outlets were banned from the White House over what the President considers as “FAKE NEWS.” This resulted in a boycott from other news organizations, including Fox.
What is it about President Trump’s use of the Sherman Act against his enemies in the media in-which you disagree?
The Sherman Act prohibits agreements among competitors that unreasonably restrain trade. Price-fixing, market allocation, and certain concerted refusals to deal are the familiar examples. The law does not forbid competitors from agreeing about anything at all, and it does not license the government to investigate every collective act that displeases the president.
Does a boycott, organized by other White House press credential holders change the discussion?
Other media outlets seized on the ban providing additional White House coverage to replace those banned media outlets?

EJ, the recent ICE shooting of a Dominican gang-banger in Bronx, NY is bringing calls for Mamdani to fire his Jewish, Police Commissioner.
Not only did Tish’s officers not have anything to do with the ICE operation, there was an organized mob, who attacked her police at the hospital where the gang-banger was receiving treatment.
Not only was this ugly, violent mob ready to attack the NYPD, but what did the DSA begin chanting after the shooting, the Jewish police commissioner has to resign. What do you think about that?
EJ, why do we continue to hear from those who oppose the war that Iran did nothing to us? Iran has American blood on their hands!
Chief, why is it party of citizen (not only in NY) but in every other jurisdiction controlled by these people?
This gang member allegedly terrorized those in his own Bronx neighborhood; and yet, Mamdani was not interested in their public safety, only using this for his own; for their own political advantage.

Why does the DSA appear to be winning the debate on free market capitalism? Are they feeding off the public’s anger?
In Michigan, (your home state), Abdul El Sayed is a DSA candidate, where free market capitalism built the auto industry. Why would UAW and other union members in Michigan vote for socialism in a place where it has provided so much, for so many?
What is contained within the DSA platform?
Labor Rights: Mandates a 32-hour work week, living wages, and stronger labor unions.
Universal Public Services: Guarantees universal healthcare (Medicare for All), universal housing, universal child care, and tuition-free public college.
They promise “PERMANENT AFFORDABILITY,” how is that possible.
Debt and Taxation: Calls for the cancellation of student debt and higher taxes on the wealthy.
Public Ownership: Advocates for public ownership or control of major industries and essential services.
Climate and Foreign Policy: Pushes for a Green New Deal, an end to U.S. wars and military aid to Israel, and the defunding of the Pentagon.
The DSA says you will have “no debt” and a “publicly funded retirement” after they tear down the “entire global system of capital.” That means you will die as a ward of the state without a penny to your name. When the DSA calls for abolishing the police and prison system — and it really does call for that — the goal would ultimately be to use it as a temporary measure to accelerate the revolution.
Trump Russia hoax, a CIA op? Not the first time the CIA has been accused of an American Coop’.
Has the Russia Hoax done permanent damage to America’s political system? (Jeffrey Lord)
If you stopped ten, ordinary people on the street and asked them if Trump colluded with Russia, I believe at least half would respond; yes!
Jeffrey, I believe that the failure to indict anyone involved in the scandal has done more damage than the actual hoax. Do you agree?
You mentioned the media’s role in the Russia hoax, however, the ABC hit job on Donald Jr. and Eric Trump shows us that they have no intention of mending their ways.
Jeffrey, the Talarico disappearance reminded me immediately of Tom Eagleton – 1972. What do you remember?
I personally felt bad for Eagleton, however; back in 1972, any mention of shock therapy treatments freaked most people out. Today, shock therapy is back in use and it has been found to be a successful treatment.
In Talarico’s case, covering up a mental health breakdown during the campaign, might be as damaging as trying to conceal one from the past; correct?
In Eagleton’s case, he was eventually forced off the ticket and replaced by Sergeant Shriver. What would happen if the rumors turned out to be true – prior to November 3rd?
Jeffrey, do you see a BLUE-WAVE coming on November 3rd? Do you believe that President Trump’s campaigning will show positive results?
From a political standpoint, what was your reaction to the raid on MN Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar’s DC home yesterday?
Todd, why do all the polling we see always show the Republican behind?
Do you believe that President Trump’s campaigning will move the needle for Republicans in November?
Do you believe that the possibility of communist control over Capitol Hill will increase turnout?
Your new book is very encouraging about America’s future; abut America’s golden age. What occurs on November 3rd will tell us if the Golden Age survives for future generations of Americans, or will we be sentenced to live under communism in America?
If the Dem-Coms have sized upon the affordability issue, how do they explain that they are the ones who brought us high inflation; and now they want the keys (once again) to the nation.
Todd, what do you make of the hit job against Donald Jr. and Eric Trump by ABC News; less than month before the November midterms? Isn’t this this same MO of these same media types, concealing the Hunter Biden laptop in October, 2020 from voters?
Republicans have the antidote to disastrous DSA healthcare policies!
With Election Day looming, the DSA is touting Medicare for All which would DESTROY our health care system by rationing care while driving up costs. The White House estimates it would cost 47 trillion dollars over the next 10 years. Medical productivity would fall by 22%. America’s seniors would be left behind, thanks to these radical socialists.
What Republicans need to do on the campaign trail is talk about policies that can deliver real results, and healthcare policy expert Charles Sauer, president of the Market Institute, can speak about a huge one–reducing hospital consolidation.
Currently, Medicare’s reimbursement rates favor hospitals over independent doctors, and that payment difference encourages hospitals to consolidate healthcare markets, driving up prices for American patients.
How do you make reimbursement rates “site-neutral” or equal across care settings, will lower costs for patients?
How do Republicans can prioritize enacting site-neutrality following the midterms, with bills like the Same Care, Lower Cost Act.
Defiance or empty bluster?
Regime in Tehran claims they are still standing!
Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei claimed Oct. 8 that U.S. and Israeli strikes had failed to undermine Iran's domestic security forces, praising police personnel for resisting attacks launched in February under Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion.
Khamenei's remarks on X also came as the U.S. Army released a new battlefield identification guide to help American troops recognize members of Iran's conventional military, known as the Artesh, whose ground forces were estimated by the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security in June at 350,000 personnel.
"The criminal US-Zionist enemy's desperate efforts and malicious attacks on the pillars of social order and security, which are unparalleled throughout history, have not caused the courageous personnel of the Police Force to waver even a fraction in their mission," Khamenei wrote in a statement.
Iran's security apparatus comprises three principal branches: the Artesh, responsible primarily for conventional territorial defense; the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), tasked with protecting the Islamic Republic and projecting military power; and FARAJA, responsible for domestic law enforcement and internal security.
How would the U.S. military discern Artesh from IRGC forces, if we do not have boots on the ground?

A supertanker caught fire when it was hit by an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, officials said — just hours after the US struck a ship attempting to break its naval blockade on Iran.
At least 11 tankers have come under attack during the week that ended Oct. 4, the most strikes on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz since the war began Feb. 28, according to the United Nations’ International Maritime Organization.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said on Monday that it reclassified an incident in the vicinity of Sohar anchorage in Oman as an attack after confirmation that the tanker was struck by a drone.
Local authorities are assisting in the evacuation of the crew, UKMTO said, adding that damage assessment and environmental impact are unknown at the time of the update.
Separately, the Indian minister of ports, shipping and waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, said in a post on X/Twitter that a tanker carrying 11 indian nationals was struck by a drone in the Sohar region of Oman.
Following an announced deal for diesel fuel between the United States and Russia, Ukraine attacked the fuel…
President Donald Trump said Saturday it was "time for Ukraine to get a new president," warning Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop attacking Russian oil refineries as the two leaders clashed over a U.S. deal with Moscow.
"It's time for Ukraine to get a new president," Trump told reporters outside the White House before heading to a rally in Tennessee.
Trump accused Zelenskyy of making global fuel problems worse by continuing to authorize strikes on Russian refineries.
Dr. Graceffo, you took issue with those who believe Zelensky purposefully ruined the deal so the republicans would lose in the midterms and a new Biden would come and give him more money. That is option A.
Option B is Zelensky has an army a fraction the size of Russia's and has decided to do as much damage as he can with his small force, and by destroying oil infrastructure, he can cripple Moscow economically.

Tensions flare in Syria's Hasaka as Arab protesters target Kurdish civilians! What is going on here?
Dr. Graceffo, I believe you are planning to travel to this region soon?
Things have changed since you were last in the region. Since your last trip (to Syria and Iraq), the American soldiers were still there. And the Rangers were there and in Syria, the Kurds were armed. And had their own armed forces. That was only one year ago. Now the Kurdish army in Syria, Syrian democratic forces has been disbanded disarmed. We will be dealing with the Damascus army, the government army. When we cross the border, we will be dependent on them. And they will not be providing us any special security detail. And meanwhile ISIS is running rampant and on the Iraqi side of the border. Iran and Iran backed. Militias are attacking Kurdish targets with drones.

‘Significant’ activity detected at Iran nuclear site that was battered during early stages of the war by Israel:
Iran has quietly resumed operations at a nuclear facility that was battered by Israel in March, with new satellite imagery showing “significant renewed activity” and even new construction.
The high-resolution images, released by the Institute for Science and International Security, show “unusually heavy” vehicle traffic and excavation work at the Minzadayi compound, a nuclear weapons site northeast of Tehran.
“This points to Iran’s efforts to not just clean up the site … but to resume regular activities,” the Washington-based organization warned Saturday on X.

"We are having productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran. I want to make it clear to everybody that, while Iran is in very bad condition, both Economically and Militarily, and while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, with Oil flowing in Record Numbers of Barrels through the Hormuz Strait (22 Million Barrels, last night alone, with not one barrel coming from, or going to, Iran!), we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections to be held in the United States on November 3rd," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "IRAN WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!" the president also declared.
What are productive discussions?
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Centre (UKMTO) said Thursday that a crude oil tanker has been struck while traveling through the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. Central Command said Thursday that "in recent months, U.S. forces have supported the shipment of over 1.25 billion barrels of crude oil from Gulf partners and through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's nuclear program is a key sticking point in the conflict and a major obstacle to reaching a diplomatic agreement.
Eslami’s remarks came as President Donald Trump said Thursday that the United States was having productive discussions with Iran.

At 15, he was forced to grow up at gunpoint and became one of the youngest fighters in the Christian militia defending his neighborhood from annihilation.
Guy recounts trading his school uniform for an assault rifle at age fifteen when the Lebanese Civil War broke out in Beirut.
After his time as a teenage militiaman, his parents sent him to safety in the United States - a country he fell in love with, where he became a citizen in 1983.
As America's critical midterm elections fast approach, we find ourselves plagued by the same type of political rhetoric that could easily lead to civil war; and Guy recognizes the parallels to what happened in his young life.
He is now in a unique position to share his experience as an urgent warning that the forces tearing America apart are the same ones that destroyed his own homeland. Since his candidacy for Nevada governor, he has become a trusted voice of reason whose mission is to inform and influence the next generation of Americans to resolve civil disputes, helping the U.S. to avoid what he endured in Lebanon.
In NOT ON OUR WATCH, Guy's message is clear as America's current race for peace through strength fast approaches. You'll gain insight into:

The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell last week, pointing to continued labor market stability despite a sharp slowdown in job growth in September.
Weekly jobless claims have now remained near 57-year lows for four straight weeks, the report from the Labor Department showed on Thursday, amid historically low layoffs.
Though employers are hoarding workers against the backdrop of strong profit growth and stock market performance, they have remained hesitant to add to headcount, making it harder for those who lose their jobs to find new opportunities. Economists have blamed that trend on uncertainty, first from tariffs and then the US-Israeli war with Iran, which has pushed up diesel prices to record highs and boosted prices for other commodities.
Weekly jobless claims fall 2,000 to 197,000.
Continuing claims increase 17,000 to still-low 1.716 million.

Iowa city council meeting erupts after former member opens meeting with satanic prayer and 'Hail Satan'
A city council in Iowa erupted after a resident opened a meeting with a satanic prayer Tuesday.
Before the meeting of the Ottumwa City Council began, former council member Matt Dalbey opened with an invocation to the "dark father" to "embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat from the tree of knowledge" before ending with a "Hail Satan" declaration.
After the council recited the Pledge of Allegiance and took roll, New Life Center Pastor Rick Bick interrupted the meeting to demand pushback against Dalbey's invocation.
Let there be no mistake, the Dem-Coms DEI means including prayers to Satan at a local community board meeting. Why did this happen?
The meeting proceeded, but not before Council Member Cara Galloway raised her concerns about recent legislation that had allowed Dalbey to recite the satanic prayer.
She was referring to a January-approved invocation policy which stated prayers or statements from any faith or philosophy would be allowed to open Ottumwa’s city council meetings — which Galloway argued would be a “slippery slope” towards controversy.
“I think we’ve opened ourselves up for others to object or respond to others’ invocations, and we need to remember that we are up here to be neutral,” Galloway said at the meeting’s close.
“I think I specifically referenced that having someone from the church of Satan or a prayer about Satan when we talked about that, that this could happen and we would need to allow it,” she added.
Dem-Com forced DEI policies nationwide were designed to force local governments to allow prayers in Christian America to Satan, to allow men in our daughter’s locker rooms and to radical Islamists to gain power over us.

Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, 18, arrested after buying AK-47-style rifle from undercover FBI employee
An 18-year-old Minnesota man who allegedly pledged allegiance to ISIS and discussed carrying out a mass shooting at the Mall of America was arrested after buying an AK-47-style rifle, magazines and ammunition from an undercover FBI employee, according to newly filed federal court documents.
Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud had allegedly spent months discussing his desire to carry out an attack, telling an FBI confidential source in September, "I can’t wait until I kill kuffar man. October 24 is the day insha Allah," according to an affidavit filed in federal court in Minnesota.
When the source later asked why he had chosen Oct. 24, Mohamud allegedly pointed to a "Hmong Arts Celebration" at the Mall of America, saying it would have "a lot of people," the affidavit states.
Mohamud, who was born in the United States and is a U.S. citizen, is the son of Somali nationals who later became naturalized U.S. citizens, multiple federal law enforcement sources told Fox News Digital.

MRC Reports Broadcast Networks Devote Zero Minutes to Illegal Immigrants Caught Trying to Vote
An MRC study found that elitist media networks ABC, CBS, and NBC spent zero seconds on recent arrests and indictments of non-citizens caught trying to vote.
Monitoring extended across all major morning and evening news programs from September 1 through the morning of October 7.
The broadcast network blackout occurred despite multiple serious criminal cases involving illegal immigrants from nations like Venezuela, Jamaica, and Senegal.
The total omission directly conceals evidence challenging progressive narratives that voter fraud is non-existent.
MRC analysts looked at the broadcast network (ABC, CBS, NBC) evening and morning shows for over a month (September 1 through the morning of October 7) and found not one single mention of illegal immigrants being caught trying to vote.
It should be noted that ABC, CBS, and NBC did cover New Jersey Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill’s July 21 announcement that a “serious software error” had led to the registration of 6,600 people who were not citizens. However, the last network stories on that came on July 22, and there has been zero coverage since.
MSM is very good at burning stories which would be problematic for the Dem-Coms just prior to an election (Hunter Biden Laptop).

Has this nation learned anything from the Duke Lacrosse Case?
The Prosecutor’s Dilemma:
“That it is better 100 guilty persons should escape, than that one innocent person should suffer.” -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
The hardest decision a government prosecutor may ever face is also one of the most important tests of the rule of law: What do you do when you believe a crime occurred, and you believe you know who committed it, but you do not believe you can prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty?
The temptation is obvious. A prosecutor is a public official. The alleged victim wants justice. The public demands accountability. The alleged offenders appear unsympathetic. The known facts produce moral outrage. Yet none of those considerations changes the prosecutor's constitutional obligation.
A criminal prosecution is not a referendum on whether something terrible probably happened. It is an attempt to prove, in a courtroom, that a particular defendant committed a particular crime beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty.
The recently renewed investigation into an alleged sexual assault involving seven Cornell University fraternity members illustrates this dilemma. The woman has alleged that she was sexually assaulted by multiple men at a Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024. The case initially was not prosecuted, but it has now been reopened and reassigned amid the emergence of additional information and intense public scrutiny.
The publicly reported record demonstrates why prosecutors cannot simply substitute belief for evidence. The woman's accounts developed over time. According to reporting based on investigative records, she initially described some sexual activity as consensual, later described other conduct as coercive and subsequently became unequivocal in saying that she had been raped. She also continued friendly communications with at least one of the men afterward.
Those facts do not, by themselves, establish that no rape occurred. Trauma, intoxication, confusion, delayed realization, embarrassment, victim guilt and fragmented memory can complicate the way sexual-assault victims describe events. Experts have emphasized precisely that point.
But neither should a prosecutor pretend that inconsistencies do not exist. They are evidence that a jury may consider, and prosecutors have an ethical obligation to assess how those inconsistencies may affect the likelihood of obtaining a conviction.
That is the difference between believing a victim and being able to prove a criminal case.
The prosecutor is not the victim's lawyer. The prosecutor represents the government and, ultimately, the public interest in justice. That interest includes punishing the provably guilty and refusing to prosecute people whose guilt the government cannot prove.
This distinction is especially important in emotionally charged sexual-assault cases. There is an understandable social demand that prosecutors believe victims. But the criminal justice system cannot operate on the principle that an accusation is proof. Nor can it operate on the opposite principle -- that an initially uncertain victim must necessarily be lying. Both propositions are inconsistent with due process.
The prosecutor's job is to investigate and evaluate.
That means gathering physical evidence. It means interviewing the complainant and the accused, if they consent. It means testing competing accounts rather than simply adopting one. And it means asking the uncomfortable question: If I were defending this case, what reasonable doubt would I be able to present to the jury?
The Cornell matter illustrates why that process must be meticulous. The district attorney has said that the information originally provided to his office differed materially from information subsequently made public, including transcripts containing statements by the woman that she was confident she had been raped.
He also said he had not initially received those full interview transcripts. Whatever one's ultimate conclusion about the case, those circumstances justify a renewed investigation. A prosecutor should never decide that a case is unprovable while important evidence remains unevaluated.
But reopening an investigation with a new prosecutor does not mean that charges must ultimately follow.
Public pressure cannot lower the burden of proof.
Neither can the seriousness of the accusation. Neither can the fact that a university disciplinary proceeding reached a conclusion. A university's determination under its disciplinary rules is not equivalent to a criminal prosecution. The criminal justice system operates under a substantially different standard because the consequences are radically different: Criminal conviction can mean substantial imprisonment, lifelong registration requirements and the stigma of a criminal record.
The prosecutor therefore faces a genuine moral dilemma. If she declines prosecution and the defendants actually committed the crime, justice will have been denied. But if she prosecutes a case she does not believe she can prove and the defendants are acquitted, justice has also been denied.
There is no painless answer.
The answer provided by Anglo-American law is the presumption of innocence and the requirement of proof beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty. Those principles deliberately place the risk of error on the government rather than on the victim or the accused.
It is better, under our constitutional system, for the government to decline a difficult prosecution than for it to obtain a conviction simply because public opinion believes someone must be punished.
The lesson of the Cornell controversy is that justice is not measured by whether prosecutors satisfy public anger. It is measured by whether they faithfully apply the law.
A prosecutor who brings charges because the public demands them, despite believing that guilt cannot be established, is not demonstrating courage. She is abandoning the very safeguard that separates criminal justice from mob rule.
The prosecutor's duty is simultaneous compassion toward an alleged victim and fairness toward an accused person. Those obligations are not mutually exclusive. Indeed, they are the essence of the rule of law.
Believe the allegation enough to investigate it fully. Believe the evidence enough to follow it wherever it leads.
But charge only when the evidence permits the government honestly to conclude it can prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty. Anything less risks turning the criminal courts from instruments of public justice into instruments of public vengeance.
The Enemy Within: Mamdani certainly sounds like he’s in league with the enemy. (Scott Mackay)
Wednesday was October 7, after all, the third anniversary of Hamas’ unbridled atrocities against Israeli civilians, and Hamas’ favorite American mayor (this may not be specifically true, but he’s at least in the top five), Zohran Mamdani, had this to say:
This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
On October 7th, Mamdani could not help himself, he released a statement (again) claiming that Israel is guilty of Genocide inside Gaza.
Is there any doubt anymore? Are we not being given a crystal-clear demonstration that we cannot allow any further encroachment of Islamic culture, religion, and politics into our society?
Islam is a black pill for the West. Make a stand, or swallow that pill. I said it a week ago; I’m going to have to keep saying it.
From 1990 through the early 2000’s, millions of Somali’s were given access to the United States. One couple had a son. He grew into an Islamist, a terrorist. His name is: Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud.

New Documentary Reveals Inside Story of Israel’s Historic Hostage Rescue in Gaza!
Operation Arnon reveals the gripping inside story of a daring, high-stakes IDF rescue mission to free four hostages from Hamas in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp. Through harrowing firsthand accounts, the film explores the extraordinary courage and sacrifice that prove hope can endure, even in the darkest of moments.
On June 8, 2024, Israeli special forces executed a daring daylight raid deep into Hamas-controlled territory in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. In a meticulously planned mission involving precise intelligence, simultaneous assaults on multiple buildings where hostages were held by Hamas in civilian homes, and extraction under intense enemy fire, the IDF successfully rescued four hostages: Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv — all kidnapped during the October 7, 2023, Nova Music Festival massacre.
The operation, originally codenamed “Seeds of Summer,” was renamed Operation Arnon in honor of Chief Inspector Arnon Zmora of the elite Yamam counterterrorism unit, who was fatally wounded while leading the breaching force to free three of the hostages. His sacrifice, alongside the heroism of commanders, intelligence officers, and the rescue teams, underscores the extraordinary risks taken to bring innocents home.
From Palladium Pictures, this powerful documentary features rare firsthand accounts from Israeli commanders and intelligence officials, emotional interviews with Arnon Zmora’s family, and a gripping reconstruction of the planning, execution, and chaotic firefight that ensued as Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters swarmed the area. It also addresses the international controversy and debates surrounding the raid.
The film is the latest release in Palladium Pictures’ new slate of original documentaries and is now premiering on RealClearPolitics.
This is a story of courage, sacrifice, precision, and the human cost of rescuing hostages from a terrorist organization that uses civilians as shields. In an era of ongoing global conflict and hostage crises, Operation Arnon offers viewers an unfiltered look inside one of Israel’s most complex special operations.

9:35 · ICE presses ahead with enforcement partnerships despite sanctuary policies!
- Congressional Democrats who have organized protests outside of a federal immigration detention center in New Jersey have not provided the public with any details about the violent nature of those who are incarcerated. They also have not commented on the taxpayer-funded benefits the illegal aliens have received.
- But House and Senate members have leveled several accusations against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) and its Delaney Hall facility in Newark that do not square with the facts. They have also joined with Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) to advance sanctuary policies that obstruct law enforcement efforts.
- ICE has made a concerted effort to keep the public informed about its operations while also releasing detailed information about the criminal history of detained illegal aliens. But there appears to be a media blackout imposed against any coverage of successful law enforcement efforts.
- Most recently, for instance, ICE arrested two illegal aliens in New Jersey as part of a nationwide effort to root out fraudulent commercial driver’s license (CDL) activity. ICE arrested Zokhid Zakhidov, 37, in Woodbridge and Khayrullo Payzullaev, 30, in Hamilton on August 23. Both men are Uzbek citizens. Both men are, moreover, a menace to public safety.
- Zakhido possessed a New York commercial learner permit when he was arrested. He has been convicted for driving while intoxicated and has pending charges for “assault with intent to cause physical injury and harassment,” according to an ICE press release. Payzullaev held a “non-domiciled Pennsylvania commercial driver’s license” when he was arrested, the release said.
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) formed a partnership in July for the purpose of cracking down on fraudulent and illegal practices in CDL schools. This is precisely the kind of cooperative effort between government agencies that Sherrill and other Democrats have opposed in blue states. In March, Sherrill signed a bill that prevents state and local authorities from participating in the 287(g) program, which enables local officials to enforce federal immigration laws. New Jersey has never looked back.
- Why are Governor Sherill and her co-conspirators in the New Jersey Democrat Communist Party turning a blind eye to safety of those who drive in New Jersey?

- New Jersey media is by and large, the NY media!
- The New Jersey State Police are under the thumb of Sherill, they are not going to assist ICE. Who is currently working with ICE?

- The Supreme Court kicked off a new term Monday, with the justices wrestling with an attempt by oil companies to throw out lawsuits alleging they should pay damages for the impacts of climate change.
- Although the case concerns a specific lawsuit the city and county of Boulder, Colorado, brought against Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy, the ultimate decision could have broad ramifications for more than two dozen similar lawsuits brought by cities and counties around the country.
- The justices — lacking a ninth member because Justice Samuel Alito recused himself — asked tough questions of both sides as they tackled broad legal questions raised in the case. Alito’s absence raises the possibility of a 4-4 split ruling that would leave the legal issues unresolved while allowing the Boulder case to move forward.
- Did liberal justices on the court recuse themselves because they are probably heavily invested in green energy?
- Boulder officials say they face increasing costs because of the impacts of climate change, including efforts to minimize risks from wildfires. Just this summer, Colorado has experienced extreme heat, drought and multiple fires.

- The Supreme Court kicked off a new term Monday, with the justices wrestling with an attempt by oil companies to throw out lawsuits alleging they should pay damages for the impacts of climate change.
- Although the case concerns a specific lawsuit the city and county of Boulder, Colorado, brought against Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy, the ultimate decision could have broad ramifications for more than two dozen similar lawsuits brought by cities and counties around the country.
- The justices — lacking a ninth member because Justice Samuel Alito recused himself — asked tough questions of both sides as they tackled broad legal questions raised in the case. Alito’s absence raises the possibility of a 4-4 split ruling that would leave the legal issues unresolved while allowing the Boulder case to move forward.
- Boulder officials say they face increasing costs because of the impacts of climate change, including efforts to minimize risks from wildfires. Just this summer, Colorado has experienced extreme heat, drought and multiple fires.
- Zack, can you explain how this case got to the Supreme Court in the first place? Why did they agree to hear it when we thought the Chevron decision would eliminate these cases in the future?
- Based on the reactions of the justices, they appeared to be skeptical to the defendants. Why do you think?
- What will the Supreme Court decision mean to both parties? What will they eventually decide on?
- What evidence is there that climate change (proven to be a hoax) is real? Will the justices decide if it is real?
- Why do individual states have standing here? This case could destroy our economy.

11:00 · September inflation report is to be released next Wednesday, the 14th.
- The September 2026 Consumer Price Index comes out Wednesday, October 14, at 8:30 AM ET. It is the last inflation report before the Federal Reserve meets on October 27 and 28, and it arrives with a specific problem: the Cleveland Fed's nowcast has headline inflation rising to 3.6% while core inflation holds near 2.4%. Energy is pushing the headline up; everything else is behaving.
- The Cleveland Fed's inflation nowcast, updated October 2, projects September CPI up 0.53% for the month and 3.60% over the year, with core CPI up 0.20% for the month and 2.39% over the year. Early consensus trackers put the headline figure near 3.7%; the official survey estimates firm up in the days before the release.
- Headline rising from 3.4% to about 3.6%. A monthly gain near 0.5% would be driven by energy, as August's was.
- Core flat at about 2.4%. A 0.2% monthly core gain, annualized, is roughly 2.4%, which is near the Fed's 2% goal.
- A report that matches the nowcast tells the Fed that its own measure of underlying inflation is under control while the number households feel is getting worse. Those point in different policy directions, which is why the reaction on the 14th will depend on which figure the market and the Fed choose to weight.
- Why does this report matter to the Fed?
- The Fed raised its target range to 3.75% to 4.00% on September 16, its only hike so far this year, and we covered what that hike meant at the time. The question since has been whether a second one follows on October 28.
- Two reports decide it, and the first has already landed. The September jobs report on October 2 showed 29,000 jobs added and unemployment at 4.2%, and the odds of an October hike on the CME FedWatch tool fell to about 17% from 36% a week earlier, per CNBC. We wrote about why stocks rose on that weak report. CPI on October 14 is the second report.
- Core at or below 0.2% for the month: confirms the jobs report. A hike in October becomes very unlikely, and the discussion moves to December.
- Core at 0.3% or higher: reopens the hike debate, because the Fed cannot blame that on gasoline.
- Headline hot, core cool: the likeliest outcome by the nowcast, and the hardest to trade, because the first headline-driven move can reverse once the core figure is read.
- Tom, what are you predicting?

11:20 · Free speech no longer exists in the UK and there is plenty of evidence!
- Retired Police Officer Convicted and Fined Over £1,000 for Sharing Bacon Meme About Child Marriage — Warns ‘Blasphemy Law Is Back.’
- Britain’s relentless crackdown on so-called “offensive” speech has produced yet another astonishing criminal conviction, this time against a retired police officer who spent nearly three decades serving the public.
- Stephen Gray, 65, served nearly 30 years with Cleveland Police. He and his wife Alex, 62, have fostered children. None of that mattered once a neighbor he was already feuding with over a sewage pipe tipped off police about two posts Gray had reshared.
- According to The Telegraph and the Free Speech Union, Gray was interviewed under caution, the Crown Prosecution Service initially decided there was no realistic prospect of conviction, and the neighbor then used the Victims’ Right to Review scheme to force the case back on. The neighbor was not Muslim.
- One post, “time for mass deportation,” paired with a caption about a supposed “12-year-old Mohammed” who wanted donors to move him from a three-star hotel to a five-star hotel with a better halal menu, free Wi-Fi, Sky, and a location nearer a girls’ school, was treated as politics.
- The judge said it concerned an issue already debated in Parliament and acquitted Gray.
- The second post was the one that counted. It showed a rasher of bacon next to a man in a turban, with the caption: “Fun facts about bacon! People who eat bacon have a lower chance of marrying a 9-year-old!”

But ask those same voters what future they want for the country, and the contrast is striking: nearly 70% favor personal freedom and free-market solutions, compared with fewer than 10% who want more government,” AFP spokesperson Katelyn Bledsoe told The Post.

- How much damage can bad therapists do to lives and families?
- Lies My Therapist Told Me: Why Christians Should Aim for More Than Just Treating Symptoms.
- Too many people are caught in a vicious cycle of visiting every doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, and therapist in their area only to find frustrating labels and numbing medications at the end of each path. Rather than eradicating anxiety in the same way vaccines conquered smallpox, the mental health establishment has seen the number of diagnoses and prescriptions skyrocket on its watch.
- How did we get here? In Lies My Therapist Told Me, Dr. Greg Gifford delivers the definitive Christian critique of secular psychiatry and psychology. With encouragement, humor, and conviction, Gifford:
- Debunks mental health myths such as “the body keeps the score” and “addiction is a disease.” • Offers biblical insights and solutions for struggles like anxiety, narcissism, OCD, and Binge Eating Disorder. • Points to Christ and the power of the Gospel as the all-sufficient answer for our fears and frailties.
- This book brings clarity where secular therapy has created confusion, and offers hope even for those struggling with the hard cases. Through deep research, biblical teaching, and the inspiring stories of real counselees, he shows why we can’t blame the past—or even a diagnosis—for our bad behavior, and why our society’s growing unhappiness is not primarily a medical issue.
