- Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday went after Democrats over proposed plans to launch an online “tracker” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity.
- The Dem-Coms have been playing this dangerous political game for years (montage).
- Pam Bondi: “Shutdown Democrats are already refusing to pay our law enforcement agents. Bondi said in a post on the X, referring to Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).
- Cartels (operating inside America) have placed bounties on the heads of ICE agents.

Segment Topic:
- Jake Smith Monologue from October 17th: Confessions of a former neocon!
- A Trumpian Headache!
- Opinion piece from Judge Andrew Napolitano:
- President Donald Trump’s use of the U.S. military to kill persons on speed boats in international waters, or in territorial waters claimed by other sovereign nations -- all 1,500 miles from the U.S. -- has posed grave issues of due process. The Constitution’s guarantee of due process requires it for every person, not just Americans. The operative language of the Fifth Amendment is that “No person ... shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.”
- Yesterday, the 9th strike against so-called narco-terrorists.
- My issues with the attack on these (alleged) drug boats:
- We have seen zero evidence to date that these boats are carrying illegal narcotics.
- They were nowhere near U.S. territorial waters.
- We are not at war with Venezuela.
- We are killing human beings in these attacks (narco-terrorists).
- Our government lacks the credibility to tell us: Trust us, we know what is in these boats an we will take care of it.
- Who is providing the intel? And how do we know this intel is reliable?
- Most of my callers indicated that they trusted the Trump Administration’s claim that they knew what was being carried in those boats.
- Judge Napolitano’s recent trip to Russia.

Segment Topic:
Robert Spencer has an explosive, timely new book that book strips away the hype and brings you the real Zohran Mamdani—and it's not a pretty picture. In Intifada on the Hudson: The Selling of Zohran Mamdani, acclaimed researcher Robert Spencer shares the proof:
- Zohran Mamdani is the most dangerous political candidate to emerge in our time.
- Mamdani is an example of what skillful marketing can accomplish. While he presents himself as the exponent of new ideas that will return government to genuine service of the people, he is actually the latest front man for ideas that are very old and extremely destructive. What Mamdani stands for above all else is state control that would stifle human initiative and destroy the very things that have made New York the greatest city in the world.
- In Intifada on the Hudson, you'll learn:
- Mamdani as mayor of New York would be a disaster not just for the city, but for the whole country.
- A $30 minimum wage, city run grocery stores and free mass transit.
- He really is a Marxist, despite his denials.
- His sect of Islam is particularly hostile to the U.S.
- He is one of many such candidates - this is clearly a new leftist strategy.
- Even if he loses, what he represents remains the biggest challenge to American freedoms.
- What kind of mayor would Mamdani be? Just look to the City of London for clues.
- Jews in London are being arrested and detained for wearing the Star of David at a Muslim protest (he was accused of antagonizing Muslims).
- Fewer than one in five Jewish Americans now feels safe in America.
- 42% of Jewish Americans surveyed do not wear anything which identifies them as Jewish while out in public.
- That is up 16% since 2023.
- 42% of Jewish Americans surveyed do not wear anything which identifies them as Jewish while out in public.

Segment Topic:
- Trump says Schumer, Senate Democrats holding government 'hostage' with shutdown: 'We will not be extorted.'
- Have the Dem-Com’s overplayed (this time) this political stunt to keep the government shut down over Obamacare subsidies?
- Dem Coms admit they are using the American people for “LEVERAGE” (Katherine Clark, D-MA).
- Dem-Com’s melt down over White House construction.
- Crooked-Hillary, who stole furniture when she moved out of the White House and was beside herself at the images of WH construction.
- KJP called Karoline Leavitt “DEPLORABLE.”
- What is the truth from inside the White House press room?

Segment Topic:
- Brazen, Intensified Antisemitic Incidents in NYC Continue in 2025! (Anti-Defamation League).
- Are “RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS” responsible for threats and violence against Jews?
- According to the ADL – they are!
- Bogus ADL Report Either Mislabels Leftist Violence as 'Right-Wing' or Omits It Entirely.
- The ADL Center on Extremism (COE) has tracked an alarming number of antisemitic incidents, including harassment, vandalism and physical violence in New York City throughout 2025. This development follows ADL’s trackingof a record-breaking 976 antisemitic incidents in New York City in 2024 — the highest count in any U.S. city last year and the highest count in any U.S. city since ADL has been tracking such incidents.
- The brazenness and intensity of many of the 2025 incidents and the fact that they have occurred in all five boroughs have been especially troubling. (ADL)
- The ADL's latest annual report claims that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings 2022-2024.
- Sunday, at the memorial for Charlie Kirk - murdered by a leftist because of his political views - President Trump declared "that violence comes mainly from the left." And, on Friday, a leftist fired shots at the ABC station in Sacramento, California, in anger over Jimmy Kimmel's temporary suspension.
- Not everyone agrees. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) countered with its latest annual report, claiming, "This is the third year in a row that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings." According to the ADL, between 2022 and 2024, there were 34 so-called "right-wing extremist" murderers, with 23 of them (68 percent) white supremacists. They say their attacks took 61 lives. Of course, those 61 deaths make up only a tiny fraction of the 58,781 murders the FBI recorded over the same three years. Still, as Trump noted, a political murder is "an attack on our entire nation." Yet, none of the cases listed by the ADL involve a right-winger murdering a political target.
- Us right-winger’s were not the ones chanting “from the river to the sea.”
- Fewer than one in five Jewish Americans now feels safe in America.
- 42% of Jewish Americans surveyed do not wear anything which identifies them as Jewish while out in public.
- That is up 16% since 2023.
- 42% of Jewish Americans surveyed do not wear anything which identifies them as Jewish while out in public.

Segment Topic:
- Hugh, I was angered to learn yesterday that Republicans caved on Obamacare subsidies:
- A group of House Republicans is calling on Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to deal with expiring Obamacare subsidies immediately after the government shutdown ends.
- Thirteen House GOP lawmakers, led by Reps.
- Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., and Jen Kiggans, R-Va., are sending a letter to Speaker Johnson on Tuesday thanking him for his leadership during the shutdown but maintaining that Obamacare must also be dealt with before the end of the year.
- Obamacare, formally called the Affordable Care Act (ACA), has emerged as one of the main flash points in the ongoing fiscal standoff between Republicans and Democrats.
- Every day the shutdown continues to hurt the very people we were elected to serve, including the men and women of our Armed Forces, the federal law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe, the agents who defend our nation’s borders, and the public servants who provide essential services to veterans, seniors and families," the Republicans wrote.
- "We also firmly believe that the government funding debate is not the time or place to address healthcare issues. Using the shutdown as leverage to force that debate only prolongs the harm and distracts from the immediate task of reopening the government. Once the government is reopened, however, we should immediately turn our focus to the growing crisis of healthcare affordability and the looming expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits."
- Obamacare subsidies were enhanced under the Biden administration in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic in a bid to make healthcare more available to a wider swath of Americans. Democrats voted to extend those subsidies through 2025 in 2022 via the Inflation Reduction Act.
- Republicans caved and no one should be surprised. It is time to call Jeff Van Drew what he is: Still Democrat Communist and a traitor to the Republican Party.

Segment Topic:
- Dem-Com’s are already petrified of JD Vance (48th President of the United States).
- MSNBC host Jen Psaki (Peppermint Patty) was denounced for her "disgusting" comments Tuesday suggesting Vice President JD Vance's wife Usha is scared of him.
- Psaki made the remarks on the "I've Had It" podcast, where she and the hosts expressed concern over Vance as a member of the Trump administration.
- She suggested Vance was "scarier" than President Donald Trump in some regards, and that Usha Vance may feel similarly. (Fox News)
- You should expect that the Democrat Communist Revolutionary Council already expects Vance to be the nominee in 2028 and they will focus their attacks on him and his family (a preemptive strike).

- Americas 2nd Revolutionary War?
- Another threat against Trump/White House (gate crasher last night).
- North Carolina man describes being shot at by man who tore down Trump sign. (Fox News)
- A 38-year-old accountant has been arrested after allegedly opening fire on a MAGA supporter after tearing down a Trump banner.

Segment Topic:
- Are Trump tariffs biting consumers yet?
- Will Trump tariffs have a negative impact on Christmas buying season?
- According to CBS News/Megan Cerullo, Tariffs are starting to bite consumers and businesses, economists say.
- Trump administration tariffs imposed this year on dozens of nations and a range of industries are fueling inflation, especially for goods that are widely imported into the U.S., a recent analysis shows.
- Product categories seeing some of the biggest price hikes due to tariffs include furniture, car parts, electronics and musical instruments, according to economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The findings are based on research models estimating tariff-related price hikes and drawing on Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data, a widely used gauge of inflation.
- Importers bear the cost of tariffs, typically passing at least some of the added expenses to consumers, economic research shows.
- The St. Louis Fed researchers found that companies passed 35% of tariff costs onto consumers from May through July. Other research from Goldman Sachs suggests that businesses could eventually pass on as much as 55% of added tariff costs to consumers. Companies would swallow 22% of the extra costs, while foreign exporters would absorb 18% of the expenses, economists with the investment bank found. (CBS News)
- What is the truth?
- CBS news has zero credibility.
Panelist:
Bryan Ganz, CEO of Byrna Technologies, joins our panel to offer a very different perspective.
Despite moving 92 percent of its production back to the United States, Mr. Ganz has not raised prices to his customers.
What is his approach to managing tariffs? Can companies now committed to American manufacturing and smart, domestic supply sourcing withstand tariff pressure without punishing consumers?
The fact is, his company absorbed cost pressures internally, maintained margins, and refused to offload inflation onto buyers.
10:35
Segment Topic:
- Is there a direct correlation between Obamacare and energy prices in America?
- Don’t energy prices affect the cost of running hospitals and clinics?
- Unleaded gasoline in many places is back to Trump 45 levels. That did not take long.
- Should we remove Biden stickers “I did that” from gas pumps and replace them with Trump” I did that stickers?
- What is the outlook for other energy sectors?
- Is the Keystone XL Pipeline coming back?
- Let us put those questions to an expert, whose latest Opinion Piece in the Federalist:
- Founder and Executive director of energy advocacy group Power the Future Daniel Turner agrees that President Trump is to blame ONLY BECAUSE he is cutting spending to an industry that cannot survive without a taxpayer bailout. The same formula can be applied to our rising energy costs.
- Daniel argues: “Our health care industry is an expensive, unreliable mess. Our electricity industry and national grid is an expensive, unreliable mess. Both are the result of flawed legislation and terrible policies, orchestrated by and shoved down the American people’s throats by one party, and it is not Trump’s party.”
- Obamacare was lousy legislation destined to enable lousy products. Like wind and solar, it cannot survive without endless government spending, and like green energy metrics, Obamacare, too, is full of gimmicks designed to deceive the American people that it is somehow working.
- Obamacare’s “success” is a mirage. Wind and solar’s “success” is a fantasy. Proof: look at your health care costs and electricity bills.
- Both costs are up around 30 percent in the past few years. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has seen premiums go up 150 percent. Granholm stupidly proclaimed “the wind is free.” For something “affordable” and “free” it sure does cost a lot.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declares a “healthcare crisis” that Republicans created. That may not be untrue, Republicans did cut the subsidies, but it is dishonest. Both industries have been costing the American taxpayer a fortune in subsidies, grants, backstops, rebates, tax credits, in government programs swooning with elegant nomenclature like “strengthening” and “investing” when what Democrats really mean is “bailout.”
- Our health care industry is an expensive, unreliable mess. Our electricity industry and national grid is an expensive, unreliable mess. Both are the result of flawed legislation and terrible policies, orchestrated by and shoved down the American people’s throats by one party, and it is not Trump’s party.
- Green energy and Obamacare are terrible wounds on the American body politic, and President Trump deserves great credit for ripping off the band aid. Only then can the healing process begin.

11:06
Segment Topic:
- Civil War or Revolution?
- Civil War means secession, Revolution means an overthrow of the Republic!
From the Gateway Pundit/Jordan Conradson:
- CIVIL WAR? Trump Administration to Establish “National Guard Response Force” to be Mobilized for Mass Civil Unrest by April 2026.
- Trump Administration sees what’s coming.
- Marshal Law? Military Tribunals?
- A new memo has been unearthed, showing that the Trump Administration is preparing to mobilize National Guard troops across the nation by April 2026 to stop potential uprisings amid the nationwide No Kings protests and violent anti-ICE protests in cities like Chicago, Illinois, and Portland, Oregon.
- This comes after the Trump administration won a lawsuit over the President’s deployment of National Guard troops in Portland to quell riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Trump has activated hundreds of California and Texas National Guard troops in Portland and Chicago, but was recently blocked by a Trump-appointed District Court Judge.
- As The Gateway Pundit reported, on Monday, the Ninth Circuit allowed President Trump to deploy Oregon National Guard troops to Portland and said he “lawfully exercised his statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. § 12406(3), which authorizes the federalization of the National Guard when “the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.””
- In a separate case, Trump has askedthe US Supreme Court to intervene and allow National Guard troops to be deployed in Chicago.
- The new memo, obtained exclusively by investigative reporter Anthony Cabassa, outlines the planned implementation of a "National Guard Response Force" (NGRF), which will be used for crowd control and civil disturbance operations in all states, territories, and the District of Columbia.
- Units of up to 500 troops will be trained to fully deploy within 24 hours in the case of a violent uprising or riot.
- Troops will also be trained and equipped to use non-lethal weapons, including TASER/Oleoresin and Capsicum Spray, according to the memo.
- The memo reads in part, "states will train, equip and make NGRFs operational NLT 1 April 2026. NGRFs are required in all 53 States and Territories. The District of Columbia has a unique solution set directed by the Secretary of War. NGRFs will train in civil disturbance operations and prepared to deploy approximately 25% of the force in 8 hours, 50% of the force in 12 hours, and the full response requirement in 24 hours."
- This provides insight into what the Trump Administration expects by spring, given the ongoing uprisings and left-wing insurrection in states across the nation.
- Cabassa reports on Substackthat a source told him the move is "not normal," and they "have never seen an order like this before."
- What does this mean? The Trump Administration is left to deal with the instability; deliberately brought to our homeland by the Democrat Communist Revolutionary Council (the Communist insurgency).
- The illegals and communist insurgents created by Marxist professors are the army assembled to fight on behalf of the Dem-Coms.
- They will not be stopped by mace and rubber bullets. Only by live ammunition – if this insurgency is not put down soon.
- A new memo has been unearthed, showing that the Trump Administration is preparing to mobilize National Guard troops across the nation by April 2026 to stop potential uprisings amid the nationwide No Kings protests and violent anti-ICE protests in cities like Chicago, Illinois, and Portland, Oregon.
- The Dem-Coms spent four-years purging the military to ensure they had forces who would fire on patriotic Americans.
- Numerous videos have surfaced on social media depicting individuals claiming to be active-duty military personnel, in uniform, instructing troops to disobey President Trump’s orders.
- Some of these videos are likely fake, created by individuals engaging in stolen valor, pretending to be active-duty service members or veterans. However, others appear genuine.
- This conduct seems to violate the Uniform Code of MilitaryJustice (UCMJ), which has long prohibited U.S. servicemen and women from making political statements or media appearances in uniform.
- These posts not only violate that prohibition but could also be interpreted as insurrection or incitement. (The Gateway Pundit/ Antonio Graceffo

Show Open:
- Over the weekend the networks went gaga over the No Kings protests -- giving them 18X more coverage than the conservative March for Life gatherings!
- Massive Disparity in Coverage for Liberal vs. Conservative Protests: Major networks (CBS, NBC, PBS, and NPR) dedicated 17 minutes and 51 seconds to the "No Kings" protests against President Trump. In stark contrast, these same networks provided only 50 seconds of total coverage to the annual March for Life, a key conservative demonstration against abortion. This represents the liberal-leaning protest receiving 18 times the airtime.
- Networks Refused to Use Ideological Labels for Leftist Protesters: Despite signs calling for impeachment and the movement's theme of "democracy versus dictatorship," the networks failed to apply ideological descriptors like "liberal," "leftist," or "progressive" to the "No Kings" demonstrators. Simultaneously, the networks provided "gushing propaganda coverage" and touted organizers' claims about the protest's scale. (MRC)
Soft Coverage for Anti-Trump Protests vs. "Throwaway" Coverage for Pro-Life March: Network coverage of the "No Kings" event included long segments, live reports from multiple cities, and "softball" interviews with figures from leftist groups like Public Citizen. Conversely, the March for Life coverage was minimal, often just a "throwaway" mention, suggesting a significant difference in how the media framed and prioritized the two events.

- Jorge Bonilla reports that Colombia's President Petro wraps his Univision interview by saying that if Trump won't change, the solution is to "get rid of Trump"

Segment Topic:
- Americans want low costs and patient-centered care. Obamacare has failed Americans. Excessive regulations and mandates ignore the needs of patients and drive up costs. To hide how unaffordable these bad policies are, the government gives Obamacare subsidies directly to insurance companies.
- The Biden COVID Credits made the problem worse. The result? Insurance companies profit at the expense of the American taxpayer.
- Why are ending these subsidies worth fighting for?
- The subsidies were supposed to be temporary. The Dem-Com’s agreed that they were a temporary COVID subsidy and would sunset. Why are they going back on their prior commitment?
- Is it possible to finally end Obamacare and replace it with something which does not fleece U.S. taxpayers?

- Major Amazon Web Services Outage Disrupts the Globe, Exposes Fragile Dependence on Cloud Giants:
- A worldwide disruption of Amazon Web Services on Monday could carry a staggering financial toll reaching into the hundreds of billions of dollars, according to experts cited by CNN. (Newsmax)
- Amazon Web Services’ largest and most critical region—US-East-1 in Northern Virginia—experienced a significant, hours-long outage, disrupting major consumer platforms and enterprise-level services across the United States and abroad.
- The incident triggered widespread downtime for apps such as Snapchat, Fortnite, Venmo, Ring, Canva, and others, while also affecting portions of Amazon’s own services, according to multiple reports from The Verge, AP News, and AWS’ own status dashboard.
- While AWS has since mitigated the root issue, the event highlights a growing national vulnerability: a single point of failure inside the world’s most-used cloud platform can cause cascading disruption across communications, finance, commerce, and public digital services.
- Early reporting and AWS status notes indicate the failure involved elevated error rates and latency across multiple core services in US-East-1, including possible DNS-level issues and DynamoDB endpoint failures. Because US-East-1 is the most heavily-relied-upon region in the AWS global network, outages there tend to ripple outward—causing massive downstream effects across apps, APIs, and authentication systems, even for companies not hosted in that region.
- How did this outage differ from an attack?
- Did this outage yesterday indicate a failure to focus on system redundancy, such as parallel fiber connectivity and backup satellite transponder frequencies?
- What lessons were learned by AWS from this outage?

Segment Topic:
- Perhaps USAID was just the tip of the iceberg!
- The Homelessness Industrial Complex: Exposing the Darkness That Profits from Despair.
- In Washington, D.C., a bombshell investigation has just dropped: the Infiltrated report showing how radical organizations have embedded themselves within homelessness advocacy groups - sharing infrastructure, donors, ideology and tactics.
- Released amid news that homelessness has climbed to its highest level in U.S. history, even after a tripling of public spending, it reveals that the Homelessness Industrial Complex (HIC) - a bloated network of nonprofits and activists - have hijacked our nation's homeless system.
- They've built an empire of corruption wrapped in "evidence-based" slogans that shield political agendas and bloated paychecks at the expense of the people it was purportedly helping. The Infiltrated report confirms that the HIC postures itself as defenders of compassion but are, in truth, the greatest exploiters of America's homeless. It exposes how it seized power, who is bankrolling it, and its dependence on suffering to further entrench power.

Colonel Robert Wilburn Hill (Bob) February 18, 1928 - October 18, 2021
While serving in combat as a Rifle Platoon Leader in Korea in 1950-1951, he was twice wounded in action (both head-wounds), receiving two Purple Heart medals in addition to a Silver Star medal and a Bronze Star (with "V" device) for valor.
With Joyce by his side, Bob survived three wars and enjoyed a very productive, rewarding career in the U.S. Army. Their assignments in over thirty years of service were at various military posts around the world, with fourteen years abroad.
Bob proudly served as an Airborne Rifle Company Commander in the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division; as a staff officer in the Foreign Liaison Directorate of Army Intelligence in the Pentagon; as the Aide-de-Camp to the Army Chief of Staff; as Commander of 1st Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment in Korea; as a member of the NATO Military Committee in Brussels, Belgium; as Deputy Brigade Commander of the Berlin Brigade in West Germany; as Commander of the Special Operations Group (SOG) in Vietnam; and as Executive Officer to the Commander in Chief, U.S. Army, Europe. His final assignment brought Bob and Joyce back home to Texas concluding a remarkable Army career, serving as Chief of Staff of the III U.S. Army Corps and Ft. Hood for two years.
Robert W. Hill always cherished his time in service to our nation. He always carried this quote from General Matthew Ridgeway in his wallet: "I cannot conceive that God has granted any man a richer, fuller, more satisfying life than mine, for it was spent in service with, and for, that finest product of our civilization THE AMERICAN SOLDIER." As a soldier, Bob embraced a key principle of military discipline (selfless sacrifice) that was so evident in the life of Jesus, our duty is not to be served, but to serve.

Segment Topic:
- Jews are scared in America!
- Statistics show America is heading toward NAZI Germany (circa 1938).
- Fewer than one in five Jewish Americans now feels safe in America.
- 42% of Jewish Americans surveyed do not wear anything which identifies them as Jewish while out in public.
- That is up 16% since 2023.
- The “No Kings” crowd who calls those in support of Israel and the Jewish people NAZI’s and fascists are the ones of whom American Jews are afraid of. They are the “from the river to the sea” crowd!
- Jewish Man was arrested for wearing Star of David in London because it ‘antagonized pro-Palestine Protesters!
- London under radical Muslim Sadiq Khan (Mayor of the City of London) has a two-tier justice system. One for anti-Semites, one for everyone else.
- In August, a lawyer, acting as an independent legal observer at a pro-Palestine protest outside the Israeli embassy in central London, was arrested, handcuffed, and detained for almost 10 hours.
- His ‘crime’? Openly wearing a Star of David.
- “A Jewish lawyer wearing a Star of David was arrested after British police claimed the Jewish necklace had “antagonized” pro-Palestine protesters.”
- “The lawyer stated that officers handcuffed him with his hands behind his back, placed him in a police vehicle, and held him for questioning. He said he was detained for nearly 10 hours!”
- “The Metropolitan Police denied that the arrest was related to the necklace, asserting that the man was detained for “repeatedly breaching” officers’ instructions to keep opposing protest groups separated, according to The Telegraph. But the lawyer documented around 30 incidents of criminal behavior by protesters, none of which resulted in an arrest. Instead, it was just the Jewish man who ended up under arrest.” (The Gateway Pundit)
- Why is story from London relevant? Because in three-months, Zohran Mamdani is going to do the same thing in NYC. Jews who show their Jewishness will be arrested by compliant NYPD officers if pro-Palestinian protesters are deemed insulted by Jews who refuse to stay silent on the streets of New York.
- For anyone paying attention to the world, however, you’re no doubt aware of just how perilous — and powerless — life is for Christians outside of America’s protection.
- Father Custodio Ballester, a Catholic priest in Spain, is facing the possibility of very real prison time on charges of “Islamaphobia,” according to a harrowing report from The Christian Broadcasting Network.
- Ballester is facing up to three years in prison for this charge, as well as fines.
- The big crime? Answering a question about the possibility of an interfaith dialogue between Christians and Muslims.
- “This renewed revival of Christian-Muslim dialogue, paralyzed by the alleged ‘imprudence’ of the beloved Benedict XVI, is far from a reality,” Ballester wrote in a letter, responding to the question. “Islam does not allow for dialogue. You either believe or you are an infidel who must be subdued one way or another.”
- The Christian Broadcasting Network added: “In a 2017 YouTube video, Ballester expanded on his 2016 remarks, warning that Islam not only poses a threat in Europe, but also that in many Muslim-majority countries, Christians face persecution.”

Segment Topic:
- One day after the New York City mayoral debate, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani openly campaigned at a mosque alongside Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
- Instead of distancing himself, Mamdani proudly highlighted the event. He even posted about it publicly, as if daring New Yorkers to overlook the danger.
- For years, warnings about Mamdani’s ties to Wahhaj have circulated. Wahhaj was named by federal prosecutors as a co-conspirator in the terror plot that killed six and injured more than a thousand.
- One prevalent protest sign from the “No Kings” crowd was: “Christian Nationalists are America’s Taliban.”

Segment Topic:
Who is running China?
- In “The China Matrix,” New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist Lee Smith reveals the shocking truth about how U.S. political and corporate elites conspired with Beijing to reshape the global order—at America’s expense. From Henry Kissinger’s secret dealings with Mao to the tech oligarchs cozying up to Xi Jinping, Smith exposes the web of corruption and betrayal that spans decades. He reveals how globalism, Silicon Valley, and the media worked together to whitewash China’s crimes while dismantling American industry and national security.
- The China Matrix: The Epic Story of How Donald Trump Shattered a Deadly Pact, is also a story of resistance. Author, Lee Smith chronicles how Trump’s presidency shattered the illusion of a benign China, forcing the establishment to confront the consequences of their own greed. From trade wars to TikTok, fentanyl to finance, The China Matrix details the battle between America First and the entrenched pro-China elite—and what’s at stake in the next chapter of this global showdown.
- With stunning new revelations about Elon Musk’s growing influence, Joe Biden’s China entanglements, and the role of U.S. universities in Beijing’s espionage network, The China Matrix is a gripping exposé of the most dangerous alliance in modern history—and the fight to break free before time runs out.

- George Santos sentence commuted by President Trump!
- Jonathan Karl, ABC News cannot believe it, however:
- Joe Biden granted a record 4,245 acts of clemency during his presidency, including 80 pardons and 4,165 commutations, which is more than any previous president. His clemency actions included pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, whom he promised not to pardon.
- Biden's siblings and their spouses: Biden issued pardons for his brothers James Biden and Francis Biden, sister Valerie Biden Owens, sister-in-law Sara Jones Biden and brother-in-law John Owens.
- Gerald Lundergan: Lundergan is a former Kentucky state legislator convicted in 2019 on campaign finance charges. The White House wrote that he "demonstrated remorse."
- Ernest William Cromartie: A former Columbia, South Carolina, councilman, Cromartie pleaded guilty in 2010 to tax evasion charges.
- Leonard Peltier: Biden commuted the sentence of the Native American rights activist, who was convicted of killing two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 1975.
- Anthony Fauci: Fauci was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infection Diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic in Trump's first administration. He was the target of right-wing criticism over his stance on vaccines and the origin of the pandemic.
- Mark Milley: Milley was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Trump's first presidency. He has said Trump is a fascist and a "wannabe dictator."
- Members and staff of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol: Lawmakers involved in the final report were Chair Bennie Thompson, Vice Chair Liz Cheney, Zoe Lofgren, Adam Schiff, Pete Aguilar, Stephanie Murphy, Jamie Raskin, Elaine Luria and Adam Kinzinger.

- A significant military buildup off the coast of Venezuela:
- B52’s flying over Venezuela!
- The US military has been steadily massing a large number of troops, naval and air assets in the Caribbean over the last two months, conducting training missions off the coast of Venezuela, reopening a military base in Puerto Rico that had been shuttered for decades, and attacking speedboats carrying suspected drug traffickers from Venezuela and Colombia.
- As of Tuesday, a significant percentage of all deployed US naval assets globally are also now located in US Southern Command, the US military’s command responsible for operations in the region, according to a fleet tracker published by the United States Naval Institute’s news portal.
- That includes the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group and the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, amounting to more than 4,500 Marines and sailors, three guided-missile destroyers, an attack submarine, a special operations ship, a guided missile cruiser and P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft.
- At the same time, the US has deployed 10 F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico, which has become a hub for the US military as part of the increased focus on the Caribbean. The US has also deployed at least three MQ-9 reaper drones to the island, according to images captured by Reuters in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. (CNN)
- Naval Station Roosevelt Roads in Puerto Rico, a US military installation that had been shuttered since 2004, is now back up and running, according to satellite imagery and photos taken at the base.
- At least one AC-130J Ghostrider, a heavily armed plane capable of providing air support to ground troops, was photographed equipped with Hellfire missiles at José Aponte de la Torre Airport in Puerto Rico, which is used by the installation.
- A separate image, captured by a local photographer, appears to show another Ghostrider at the same facility.
- That airport has been a staging ground for US military operations in the region over the last several months.
- What is the Administration’s end game here? Regime change?
- “The military presence in the Caribbean is too big for just hitting a few speedboats, though it is not big enough for an invasion of Venezuela,” Elliott Abrams, who served as the US envoy to Venezuela during Trump’s first term, told CNN on Thursday. “What’s in the middle, I think, is a pressure campaign, meant to rattle Venezuela.” (CNN)

- While President Trump was posthumously awarding Charlie Kirk the Medal of Freedom two-days ago, Wikipedia was busy smearing Charlie Kirk’s life and legacy. How did they; and why did they do such a despicable thing?
-
- From the Media Research Center:
- Wikipedia Smears Charlie Kirk Just Before Presidential Medal of Freedom Ceremony
- Wikipedia's systemic editorial bias, which has been extensively documented by Media Research Center's Free Speech America as consistently favoring liberal narratives and targeting conservatives, is on full display again in its relentless smearing of Charlie Kirk.
-
- Days before the assassinated Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Wikipedia editors added new smears to Kirk’s page, as detailed in a new blog post by MRC Free Speech America.
The Timing: The edits, which expanded the list of critiques and added more condemnatory language, were made between October 3 and 10, just ahead of the Medal of Freedom ceremony, America's highest civilian honor.
- The Smears: Editors altered Kirk's introductory paragraph to include heavily loaded and subjective language. The page now accuses Kirk of promoting a "white genocide conspiracy theory" (a change from the already inflammatory "Great Replacement conspiracy theory"), advocating for "Christian nationalism," and spreading "COVID-19 misinformation."
- The Pattern: This behavior follows a documented pattern of Wikipedia adding an accusation of "misinformation" to Kirk's writeup on the day he was killed.
-
- This latest action confirms the Media Research Center’s previous findings that Wikipedia effectively "blacklists" right-leaning media and routinely applies highly biased, insulting labels to conservative figures. (Catherine Salgado/MRC)

- BREAKING: Nancy Pelosi SNAPS at OUR Reporter - Points in Her Face and Hurls Insults When our reporter pressed on why she refused National Guard support on January 6th, she lost it - pointing in her face, yelling “Shut up,” and accusing her of pushing “Republican talking points.” No answer.

- Republicans have given the Dem-Coms 9-chances to reopen the government (clean spending bill) and each time they said NO!

- While Nancy Pelosi and her party claim "chaos" and Trump is turning crisis into clarity — freezing $26 billion in blue-state pork, halting green-energy pet projects and directing departments to prepare reduction-in-force plans as part of a broader review of spending and accountability. Those plans are now in motion: The Office of Management and Budget confirmed that federal layoffs have begun, with cuts underway in Health, Homeland Security and Commerce. Washington calls it chaos. I call it a cleanup — a reckoning long overdue in the deep-state swamp. For the first time in modern history, a shutdown isn’t about stalling — it’s about a president reshaping Washington for the people. (Mehek Cooke/Fox News)
- Not so fast:
- Federal Judge temporarily blocks Trump Admin’s shutdown-related layoffs. (Stacy Robinson/The Epoch Times)
-
- US District Judge Susan Illston, a Clinton appointee, issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) on Wednesday and stopped the Trump Administration from firing federal workers. (Christina Laila/The Gateway Pundit)

- 2. GOP may be looking at big gains from mid-decade redistricting.
- Democrats' chance of taking the House in 2026 have plummeted, while GOP chances have skyrocketed over the last 6 months... Why?
- U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday confirmed he has authorized covert CIA operations in Venezuela.
- The decision would expand U.S. assets deployed to Venezuela, placing added pressure on the regime of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

- Will Hamas be forcibly disarmed?

Segment Topic:
- Loudon County, VA Schools in the news again!
- Parents from Northern Virginia late Wednesday night surpassed the massive $125,000 bond that a judge ordered them to pay in order to stay in court and defend their sons, who were suspended and found responsible for sexual harassment after objecting to a transgender classmate using their male-only locker room.
- The parents, who are suing the Loudoun County Public Schools district, raised over $125,000 ahead of the Friday deadline and even met the original Wednesday deadline before it was granted an extension.
- They were originally ordered by a federal judge last Friday to come up with the funds by the end of the day on Wednesday if they wanted to keep fighting for their sons in court. The $125,000 "bond" was ordered by the judge in the case, Leonie Brinkema, who said the money is meant to ensure that the parents would be able to pay for the school district's attorney fees if they end up losing.
- Is Transgenderism fizzling out and if so, why?
- The trans-identification trend among young people appears to be losing momentum.
- Recent data taken from college campuses shows a sharp decline in the number of Gen Zers identifying as transgender over the past three years.
- Eric Kaufmann, a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, conducted his own analysis of a large survey of U.S. undergraduates — which included a question asking them to identify their gender.
- In the 2025 survey of 68,000 students, only 3.6% of respondents identified as a gender other than male or female.
- "By comparison, the figure was 5.2% in 2024 and 6.8% in both 2022 and 2023," Kaufmann wrote in his analysis, which was published on UnHerd.com.
- "In other words, the share of trans-identified students has effectively halved in just two years." (Fox News)
- New survey shows how gender madness ‘non-binary’ was just a fad pushed by radical activists. (Karol Markowitz/NY Post)

09:06 AM ET
Show Open:
- CNN’s Christine Amanpour: “The Israeli hostages have probably been treated better than the average Gazan because they are the pawns & chips that Hamas had.” Evyatar David was quite literally forced to dig his own grave. Absolutely unacceptable from CNN. (Eyal Yakoby on X)
- So how did the Maggots in Marxist State Media behave over the past week – as we edged closer to the cease fire and the release of the remaining Israeli hostages?
- NBC Reporter Frets Palestinian ‘Hostages,’ Celebrates Gazans Having ‘Their Land’ Back. (Curtis Houck)
- CBS Foreign Correspondent Gives Equal Time to Israeli Hostages, Palestinian ‘Prisoners.’ (Curtis Houck)
- Majority of The View’s Cast Refuse to Credit Trump for Ceasefire (Nicholas Fondacaro)

Segment Topic:
- Did Keir Starmer attempt to take credit for Trump’s 20-Point, peace plan? (Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson on Sky News Sunday with Trevor Phillips.
- Does the Gaza peace deal give Trump leverage to tackle Ukraine and Russia?
- Until now, the idea of a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine has been dismissed as naïve—a diplomatic quagmire with no off-ramp. But Trump’s momentum abroad, coupled with renewed credibility among America’s allies, changes that calculus. “Peace in the Middle East gives Trump something no one else has had—political capital with proof,” says Gilson. “He can now say to Putin and Zelensky, ‘I’ve done this before. It works.’”
- As the world watches the ink dry on the Middle East peace accord, Gilson urges analysts and citizens alike to keep their eyes on what comes next. “Trump has always seen patterns where others see chaos,” he explains. “If he can transform the world’s most volatile region into a stable one, then Russia and Ukraine aren’t beyond reach—they’re next in line.”
- Yesterday, Conservatives in the UK marked the 100th birthday of former Prime Minister, (Lady) Margaret Thatcher. What do you remember most about writing speeches for Lady Thatcher?

Geoff Gilson is a retired lawyer, development consultant, and political strategist and speechwriter. He began his career crafting speeches for Margaret Thatcher.

- Chuck Schumer claims that the BBB destroyed healthcare in America. Wasn’t Obama, Schumer and the rest of their party which drove up premiums, drove up deductibles and forced Americans out of private insurance and onto the Govt exchanges?
- Congressman, where are we with regard to the government shutdown and does Mike Johnson have the leverage to force the Dem-Coms back to the negotiating table?
- Will the American people accept healthcare for illegals?
- Will the American people accept fewer budget cuts by way of reconciliation; deep cuts we were promised?

11:06
Segment Topic:
- Targeting “WOKE” in higher education!
- Is it WOKE? Or is it really Marxist, Socialist or Communist ideology which has infested higher education?
- How did “WOKE” and DEI (Affirmative Action) infect colleges and universities in the first place?
- Are a majority of professors infecting their students with a skull full of mush? (Professor Charles W. Kingsfield)
- Palestinians in Gaza were chanting: Trump, Trump, Trump. Do you think you will find students at any “WOKE” school chanting President Trump’s name positively?
- Does today’s college age student really understand what a NAZI or fascist is?
- The Federal Government is offering a “Golden Age” of academic excellence on higher education if colleges and universities enter into an agreement. Is this the responsibility of the Federal Government?
- Is the Trump Administration finding it too difficult in cutting off tax dollars to these schools?
- Is cleaning up “WOKE” in higher education a multi-generational problem?
Panelist:
Cornell University Law Professor, William A. Jacobsen.
Jacobson is author of the conservative law blog, Legal Insurrection.
In October 2017 William Jacobson, a professor of law at Cornell University and, as a conservative, something of an endangered species among Ivy League academics, was invited to deliver a lecture at Vassar College in upstate New York.
The event had been organized by a group of conservative students, and was intended to challenge the climate of repression at colleges and universities that had steadily banished views dissenting from the progressive orthodoxies. The title of the talk was “An Examination of Hate Speech and Free Speech on College Campuses”.
The notice of the event was met by unironic rage. Student groups organized to protest and object and try to have the talk cancelled. The Vassar authorities quickly sided with the protesters and the college president condemned the speech.
The lecture nevertheless went ahead, under heavy security. College administrators arranged for students both to protest and to retreat to “safe spaces” where they could be insulated from the offensive views. (Times of London)
11:35
Segment Topic
- The race for governor in New Jersey. It’s the price of energy stupid!
- Why are energy prices at the top of the voters list of grievances?
- Blue states are notorious in tinkering with energy supply and prices – in order to control the population.
- Mikie Sherill wants to declare a state of emergency over electric rates. Is she kidding? Her and her party created this mess and now it is an emergency?
