Trump says Hamas must disarm following Netanyahu meeting!
Netanyahu was seeking firm firm assurances from President Trump that Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza demilitarized before any further steps are taken. (NY Post)
Earlier this month, officials from the US, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey met in Miami to discuss plans for the force — though Israel has said it would not accept Turkey taking part due to its president, Erdogan (ird-oh-wan), cultivating close ties to Hamas throughout his tenure.
The US and Israel want the ISF to have a “commanding role” in security duties, including disarming Hamas and other militant groups. But countries being courted to contribute troops fear that mandate will make it an “occupation force,” a Western diplomat told the Associated Press.

Hamas has said it is ready to discuss “freezing or storing” its arsenal of weapons, but insists it has a right to armed resistance as long as Israel occupies Palestinian territory. One US official told AP that a potential plan might be to offer cash incentives in exchange for weapons, echoing a “buy-back” program Witkoff has previously floated.
As feared, Hamas has had time to rearm and restructure its leadership.
Hamas confirms five leaders killed, including ‘masked spokesperson’ in major blow to terror group
Hamas only recently acknowledged that their command structure was decimated by the Israeli’s last year!
In a statement released on Monday by the group’s armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas said that Mohammed al-Sinwar, the brother of former Hamas leader Yahya al-Sinwar, was killed during Israeli military operations in Gaza, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Al-Sinwar had risen to a senior role within the organization and was widely viewed as a key figure in Hamas’ wartime command following the deaths of other top commanders.
Al-Sinwar’s brother, a co-mastermind of Oct. 7 attack, and other high-ranking commanders acknowledged dead by al-Qassam Brigades.
If they are only acknowledging these months after the Israelis whittled down Hamas command – what does this tell us?

Segment Topic:

- Operation “Raise the Colours” seems to be igniting patriotism and nationalism in the UK!
- A battle over British identity and the nation’s flag is just the latest issue to widen the political divide in the United Kingdom in 2025. As the Labour government continues to face growing criticism over a number of issues, from cracking down on free speech to its migration policies, many Britons are concerned about their country’s future.
- The issue simmered over the summer amid concerns of a growing rift between the ruling elites and members of the public centered on the nation’s flag. The debate, while ongoing for several years, gained new life since anti-Israel protests erupted after Hamas’ mass terror attack against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, when Britain saw a proliferation of Palestinian flags across the country.
- Tensions were further heightened over the display of Palestinian flags on public buildings, with critics arguing it represents an abandonment of traditional British values, and that immigrant communities are dictating community values. Several councils in major cities bowed to public pressure. Those cities — all with sizable immigrant communities — including Sheffield, Preston, Bradford and others chose to raise the Palestinian flag last month to honor the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. (Fox News)

The UK had not been particularly patriotic when it came to flying their flag in recent years.

However, those illegals who flooded the UK were proud to fly their own flags, which appeared to Brits as a symbol of victory over their sovereignty.

Last year: “Raise the Colours” movement started and it is picking up steam.

Should we permit a foreign flag to fly in the United States?

Should we permit Muslim call to prayer from invading our communities?

Segment Topic:

MIT hit with federal discrimination complaint over ‘graduate womxn’ programs!
- The prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was the target of a federal civil rights complaint filed Monday over two student organizations catering to “Graduate Womxn.”

“Graduate womxn” uses the gender-inclusive term “womxn” (pronounced wi-muhn) to refer to cisgender women, transgender women, non-binary individuals, and other gender-diverse people in graduate programs, often in STEM fields like physics, to foster community, support, and equal opportunities, moving beyond traditional definitions of “women.” If you are a biological male, a man, you will be discriminated against at MIT.

The Equal Protection Projectcharged that the university-sponsored student organizations “Graduate Womxn in Physics” and “Graduate Womxn in Biology” flout Title IX, which bars sex-based discrimination in educational opportunities at institutions that receive federal funding.
“The Womxn Programs discriminate on the basis of sex because eligibility is conditioned on whether an individual is male or female, notwithstanding the use of gender-identity terminology,” read the complaintto the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.
“Under the Programs’ own definitions, biological females are automatically eligible for participation, while biological males are categorically excluded unless they disclaim or redefine their sex.”
However, a sect that includes the two MIT student organizations has co-opted “womxn” as an “umbrella term” to refer to transgender and nonbinary individuals in addition to biological women.
- “The situation may be more serious than we even know. The situation may involve other programs that we don’t know about, so we would hope that the Department of Justice would open an investigation,” William Jacobson, president and founder of the Equal Protection Project, told The Post. (NY Post)

Panelist:

Cornell University Law Professor, William A. Jacobson. Jacobson is author of the conservative law blog, Founder: Legal Insurrection Foundation.

Professor Jacobson is also the president and founder of the Equal Protection Project – which has filed a Federal discrimination complaint over this apparent discrimination against male students at MIT.

Somali-Gate: How is MSM treating this widening fraud scandal in Tim Walz-Minnesota?
Was it a “LEARING EXPERIENCE?”
- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s office is pushing back against fraud allegations after a viral video showed visits to multiple childcare centers in the state, including one that allegedly received millions of dollars in state funding despite appearing largely inactive.
- Responding to questions about the allegations and the video posted by independent journalist Nick Shirley, a spokesperson for the governor told Fox News that Walz has spent years working to “crack down on fraud” and has taken steps to strengthen oversight of state programs, including initiating investigationsinto several facilities.
- “The governor hasworked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action,” the spokesperson said. “He has strengthened oversight — including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed.” (Fox News)
- Independent journalist, Nick Shirley might have ended Tampon-Tim’s political career!
- A 42-minute video by Shirley, posted Friday on X and YouTube, documenting visits to several daycare centers in the blue state, including a location on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis.
- In the video, Shirley and another man are seen at what appears to be a largely inactive childcare facility. The building also displays a misspelled sign reading“Quality Learing Center,” even though the center is reportedly supposed to account for 99 children and received roughly $4 million in state funds.
  - How is Marxist State Media treating Somali-Gate? The scandal widens, but the coverage is missing from their airwaves?

Segment Topic:

Christian genocide in Nigeria; fake news?
- According to MS Now panelist, Morgan State University professor Dr. Jason Johnson appeared on MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” where he suggested that the Trump administration’s strike on terror targets in Nigeria was racially motivated. (Yahoo News)
- During an appearance on MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” Johnson told host Eugene Daniels the administration’s logic behind the strikes doesn’t make sense, questioning why President Donald Trumpwould care about African countries he once disparaged. (Fox News)
- Christians being protected by the strike are black Christians!
- But the BBC has found that some of the data being relied on to come to this conclusion are difficult to verify.
- In September, popular television host and comedian Bill Maher upped the ante describing what was happening as a “genocide”.
- Referring to the Boko Haram group, he said “they have killed over 100,000 since 2009, they’ve burned 18,000 churches”.
- Similar figures have also been gaining traction on social media.
- The government in Abuja has pushed back on these claims describing them as “a gross misrepresentation of reality”.
- It did not deny that there was deadly violence in the country. But officials said that “terrorists attack all who reject their murderous ideology – Muslims, Christians and those of no faith alike”.
- Other groups monitoring political violence in Nigeria say the number of Christians who have been killed is far lower, and say most victims of the jihadist groups are Muslims. (BBC World)
- BBC says Christian genocide in Nigeria is “FAKE NEWS.”
Former Vice President Kamala Harris suggested that it is sexist to mock her distinctive cackle, explaining on a recent podcast how America has “out-of-touch standards” placed on women.
- “I don’t aspire to be humble,” Harris added.
- During Harris’ appearance on the “Rich Little Broke Girls” podcast, she also gave dating advice to young single women, highlighting the importance of finding someone who is kind and makes them laugh.

Kamala Harris providing young women with dating advice is like putting Hunter Biden in charge of ATF!

Segment Topic:

Rudy Giuliani Was Right but the Damage Was Done!
Rudy Giuliani kept his integrity. He never wavered under pressure. And he was right. Trump won in 2020.

President Trump has begun sharing court testimony under oath by computer experts Ben Cotton and Clay Parikh on offshore vote changing which if proven true would shake the United States to its core!

History is not merely tardy in dispensing justice, it is derelict. Vindication arrives only after reputations have been immolated, livelihoods obliterated, and the human spirit subjected to sustained institutional cruelty and destruction. Such was the deliberate fate imposed upon Rudy Giuliani in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
Recent reports concerning Fulton County Georgia have intensified scrutiny of the administration of the 2020 presidential election there, exposing procedural lapses that fanned long-standing allegations of impropriety. In a December 9, 2025 hearing before the Georgia State Election Board, County officials admitted that they certified approximately 315,000 early ballots without the required poll-worker signatures on tabulator tapes, a clear violation of Georgia law and an egregious breach in the chain of custody that observers use to verify ballot counts and authenticity. (Roger Stone/Stone Cold Truth: 12/26/25)
What about the lives and reputations of those who were ruined because they spoke out against what occurred back in 2020?
If these allegations are proven; does Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell and others, receive their reputations back, but most of all, who pays them reparations?

What about those who were denied office due to this fraud? How do you repair this damage?

Fulton County elections officials admits 315,000 votes weren’t signed by poll workers! (WSB-Atlanta)
“Trump and codefendants seek fees after Fani Willis case implodes!” (Washington Examiner/Kaelan Deese)
A Georgia State-Senate Committee questions Fani and her answers appear to suggest that she is playing (what else) the race card.
Fani calls Trump and his associates, criminals. Is that libel?
President Donald Trumpand several former codefendants from the collapsed Fulton County, Georgia, 2020 election racketeering case are preparing to pursue millions of dollars in legal reimbursements, arguing that the prosecution never should have been brought and that its failure demands accountability in the upcoming year.
- The effort is expected to unfold under a new Georgiastatute passed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, which allows defendants to recover “all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs” when a prosecutor is disqualified for improper conduct, and the case is later dismissed — a provision enacted with the Trump prosecution squarely in mind.
Kaelan, do you detect any strain in the relationship between President Trump and AG Bondi?
- The calls for her ouster are getting louder by the day. Will she survive?

Segment Topic:

President Donald Trumpsaid Sunday that peace talks to end the war in Ukraine are close to completion after a meeting in Florida with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with both leaders citing major progress on a 20-point plan while acknowledging unresolved disputes over territory, ceasefire terms and Ukrainian approval.
What does the 20-point peace plan contain?
What will happen to the Donbas Region?
- Trump and Zelenskyy spoke to reporters following their meeting at Mar-a-Lago, describing weeks of negotiations involving U.S., Ukrainian, European Union and NATO officials that have moved a potential peace framework close to the finish line, though several high-stakes issues remain unresolved.
- Trump said negotiations have intensified over the past month and suggested discussions are far more advanced than at any previous point in the war, while cautioning that final agreements depend on resolving a small number of difficult questions. (Fox News)
  - Colonel Douglas Macgregor NATO AND EUROPE ARE DOOMED (IVAN8848/X)
- The divorce is not finalized, however there is a trial separation between the U.S. and the EU:
  - Addressing his party on 14^th December, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made headlines with remarksunprecedented in postwar Europe.
    - “Dear friends, the decades of Pax Americana are largely over for us in Europe, and for us in Germany as well. It no longer exists as we know it. And nostalgia won’t change that. The Americans are now very, very ruthlessly pursuing their own interests. And this cannot have a different answer than that it is time that we also pursue our own interests. And dear friends, here we are not weak, we are not small.”
    - Pax Americana, the US-led security order that has come to define American and European partnerships since the end of the Second World War, is now being openly questioned. Indeed, Merz has crossed a line that few European leaders have even contemplated since the Cold War – triggered by the shock generated by the new US National Security Strategy (NSS), issuedearlier this month.
  - Is President Trump’s life in serious danger and why is the Secret Service continuing to put his life in danger?
    - The Secret Service continues to endanger the president’s life with lax security, and the government is sitting on information that might expose recent failures which allowed President Trump to get shouted down by Code Pink protestersduring a recent outing to a Washington DC restaurant, advocates fear.
    - “I’m just really concerned about the president’s safety,” Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch told The Post.
    - “He was almost killed twice supposedly under the protection of the Secret Service and then they walked him into a potentially dangerous ambush,” he said of the September incident at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab.
  - Hamas builds new terror regime in Gaza, recruiting teens amid problematic election!
  - Isn’t this what Hamas wanted?
    - Khalil al-Hayya and Khaled Mashaal are radical contenders to lead Hamas following deaths of Haniyeh and Sinwar.
    - Hamas is rebuilding a new Gaza terror apparatus and using the ceasefire with Israel to boost its military, restore a problematic leadership structure and recruit a new generation of teenage fighters, according to a leading national security analyst.
    - Professor Kobi Michael, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies and the Misgav Institute, told Fox News Digital that the pause in fighting has given Hamas breathing room to regroup.
    - “Everything that is happening will continue happening as long as Hamas continues to effectively control the western part of the Gaza Strip,” Michael said. (Fox News)
  - Natanyahu wants Trump to commit more money and arms for another incursion into Gaza, however; isn’t it time that neighboring Arab countries start to carry some of the load?

Should we take Iran’s latest threats seriously and what should Trump do?

Segment Topic:

Iran conducts a missile drill, what does it mean?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuis seeking a meeting with President Donald Trump as Israeli officials warn that recent Iranian missile drills could be used as cover for a surprise attack, raising fresh urgency around Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and military posture ahead of the expected Dec. 29 talks.
Those concerns were echoed publicly on Monday by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who warned that Iran’s nuclear ambitions and military posture pose a direct threat not only to Israel but also to the United States and Europe.
Speaking Monday at the Israel Institute for National Security conference, Huckabee said Trump has maintained a consistent red line on Iran. “All I can do is point out to you what the president has said repeatedly, and he consistently has said Iran is never going to enrich uranium, and they’re not going to have a nuclear weapon,” he said. (Fox News)

Iran claims that Bondi Beach was an inside job!
Iranianmilitary chief Maj.-Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi claimed that Israel plotted the Bondi Beach terror attack last week as a “false flag” in order to build sympathy as “victims of antisemitism” during a speech at a military ceremony on Sunday.
The “Zionist regime… assassinated the Jewish community and its dependents in other countries to make them look like victims,” Mousavi accused. “This is not their first time, and they have committed such crimes many times.”
“In the last few days, the Zionist regime has committed suicide to prevent reverse migration, to save itself from internal turmoil, and to instill antisemitism,” he added.
The military chief, in a separate statement on Sunday, also referred to Iran’s need to enhance its air defense capabilities, stating that this is one of the country’s priorities, state media outlet IRNA reported. (Jerusalem Post)
Is Iran more dangerous now since the U.S. bombing raid last summer?

How will President Trump respond to Netanyahu’s request for more U.S. military action in Iran?

- China rearming Iran, U.S. with arms sales to Taiwan.
Israel fears that recent Iranian missile drills could be used as cover for a surprise attack.

Iran executed on Saturday a man convicted of spying for the Israeli intelligence and army, state media reported.
- State TV identified the executed man as Aghil Keshavarz, claiming that he had “close intelligence cooperation” with the Mossad and took photos of Iranian military and security areas.
Last week, U.S. special envoy’s Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner presented a $112 billion dollar reconstruction plan to Gulf nations to build a high-tech region in Gaza (Project Sunrise). How realistic is this plan – given that Hamas still exists and has NOT disarmed?

  - Mercosur nations were notified of the delay by the European Commission, after EU plans to seal the pact this week were upended by heavyweights France and Italy.
  - The EU-Mercosur deal would create the world’s biggest free-trade area and help the 27-nation bloc to export more vehicles, machinery, wines and spirits to Latin America at a time of global trade tensions. Farmers profits would be greatly affected.

Show Open:

In 2025 the media became the story rather than reporting accurately on a story!
- The media continued as puppet propagandists for the Dem-Com insurgency, however, for the first time, they faced legal consequences for their actions.
- Are media outlets thinking twice before exposing themselves to millions of dollar lawsuits (ABC, CBS, BBC)?
60 Minutes’ postpones segment on migrant inmates from El Salvador’s CECOT prison.
The segment would have featured an interview with Venezuelan migrants deported to the prison.
Segment pulled prior to airing by Bari Weiss.
Weiss explanation was that segment needed additional reporting.
Hours before the episode was set to air on Sunday, however, the show released an editor’s note on X delaying the segment.
“The broadcast lineup for tonight’s edition of 60 Minutes has been updated. Our report ‘Inside CECOT’ will air in a future broadcast,” the note read.
Sharyn Alfonsi blasted CBS’ decision to postpone the segment, alleging Weiss had “spiked our story” in an email to her fellow correspondents.
Alfonsi added that the choice to delay the airtime was political, not a journalistic judgement, according to the email reviewed by the outlet.
- Sources at CBS indicated that illegal gang members were given airtime on 60 Minutes to cry about their treatment at CECOT (with no trial).
  - Did 60-Minutes devote any segment to those illegally jailed for J6 – who never received their day in court?

Nick Fondacaro, Associate Editor: Newsbusters, a division of: Media Research Center

Segment Topic:

And the winner is!
- MRC: “Worst quote of the year!” (Geoffrey Dickens/MRC)
- Matthew Dowd blamed a TPUSA supporter for firing his gun in some kind of twisted celebration, which resulted in the death of Charlie Kirk!
- Matthew Dowd a former Bush-Cheney strategist and propagandist for Marxist State Media.
MRC’s Late-Nite (year-end) study finds that in 2025, there were a total of 500 lib guests and a whopping total of 14 conservatives.
Four of the five biggest Late-Nite shows failed to book a single conservative this year and the year is not over yet!
92% of all politically themed jokes focused on conservatives (up from 82% in 2024).
Only 8% of jokes targeted Dem-Coms.
To be fair, the MRC conducted a double-blind study on: The View. What did that study show?

Voters are rebelling. After four decades of nonstop Democratic control, the people of Oregon are rising up. Is it too little, too late?

Minnesota was NOT the only State with Somali immigrant fraud!
If you thought the alleged Medicaid fraud in Minnesota by Somalis, which federal prosecutors say could reach $9 billion, was insane, wait until you read the latest report from The Maine Wire: the head of a local nonprofit is accused of lashing out at a local journalist over an investigation, while members of his family allegedly put a bounty on the head of a journalist in Somalia for sharing the reporting. (Zerohedge)

Segment Topic:

- Federal government at war with freedom itself?
- For far too long, the federal government has expanded its reach, encroaching on the powers and prerogatives reserved to the states and the people. This centralization of authority is not only a betrayal of the constitutional system our Founders established it is a clear and present danger to the liberties we hold dear.
- Are too many Americans eager to give-up their liberties when offered no alternative by government?
  The solution to this overreach does not lie in hoping for change in Washington, D.C., but in returning power to the states the original guardians of American sovereignty. As James Madison wisely counseled, the states “have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil” of any unconstitutional acts by the federal government.
- The Make America STATES Again action project is designed to inspire, educate, and mobilize patriots across the country to restore the proper balance of power between the federal government and the states. Here, you’ll find the tools and resources needed to take meaningful action whether by advancing legislation in your state, educating others about state sovereignty, or championing the Constitution’s vision of limited federal government.
- What about repealing the 17^th Amendment as the first step to rein in Washington sponsored tyranny?
  Together, we can reclaim the freedoms that federal overreach has eroded. It’s time to Make America STATES Again.
- What has Washington done to the value of the U.S. Dollar? Kevin McCallister spent $19.83 on groceries in “Home Alone.”

That same basket of Kevin’s groceries would now cost $53.95 before tax — or $52.95 with his $1-off coupon — a 167% increase over 35 years, according to calculations done by USA Today.

Panelist:

Bill Jasper, President: John Birch Society

Brown University or “Clown University?”
Lack Of Information About Brown University Murders “Allows a Lot of Speculation to Flourish”
“I think with the assassination of Charlie Kirk on a campus there’s a question, no answers yet, but there’s a question whether this was a targeted killing. (Cornell University Law Professor, William A. Jacobson/Legal Insurrection)
The Administration of Brown University, the Providence Police Chief Oscar L. Perez Jr. and the Mayor look like buffoons.
They keep defending not having cameras in an old campus building, however, I have wireless security cameras around my home – why didn’t they have them?

American culture and the Republic itself struggles to survive in a sea of communism, Marxism and every other form of ism; and a refusal of some immigrants to assimilate.
- Michael Finch says in his latest opinion piece in: Front Page Magazine that:

We are all now sadly aware that, in the infamous words of Barack Obama, the Left is seeking to “radically transform the United States of America.” For them to build their new heaven on earth, and attain their fantasized utopia, they must burn down the house, erase the past and wipe it clean.

In their retelling, America’s birthday no longer is 1776, but 1619. Columbus came to this new land to execute a genocide. America is imperialistic, racist, and sexist, and these sins are baked into its founding. Hence their creation of a self-loathing iteration of American history and culture that infects so many of our citizens. The culture and history of America matter deeply. When we don’t recognize the greatness of our culture and history, when we are taught to hate our own history and myths and stories, then we fracture, we balkanize. We fall apart.
To restore American culture, to restore Americanism, what is the responsibility of educators? Should they be held responsible for NOT teaching Americanism?
What are the responsibilities of parents?
We are fortunate that the path back from the Left’s malicious falsehoods lies all around us. Take to the road and discover this country anew. Read the great books, the poets, visit the State Capitols and let our great buildings inspire you. View the art that projects on canvas the very beauty and inspiration of sea to shining sea.
Most importantly, don’t wait for our failed schools, but teach our children the essence of our nation’s greatness and beauty. The story of our nation and its people are the most fascinating and inspiring that has ever existed in human history. Be proud and embrace it, learn and teach it, and we just may survive the current and future crises that befall us. (Michael Finch/Front Page Magazine)

Show Open:

Trump tout’s success with gasoline at or under $2-dollars a gallon!
Gasoline rose 30-50% during Biden term.
Why Energy Dominance is Now a National Security Imperative!
Writing for RealClearDefense, energy expert and Power the Future spokesman Larry Behrensargues that President Trump’s newly released National Security Strategy signals a long-overdue return to seriousness in American defense by believing energy security is national security, and rejecting the idea that “climate change” and “net zero” should have any place in security planning.
At the center of that effort is energy dominance. The strategy elevates oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear production as top strategic priorities—linking abundant, affordable energy to good jobs, lower costs for families, a revived industrial base, and the technological edge needed for fields like AI and advanced manufacturing. A national defense built to win depends on a reliable energy system behind it.
Europe is failing to understand this troublesome dynamic. Even though the Russian invasion of Ukraine is nearly four years old, the European Union still spent €21.9 billionon Russian energy last year or €3.2 billion more than the EU gave to Ukraine in aid during the same period. Relying on adversaries for energy is not an option for rational countries.
In a crisis, energy becomes leverage. By expanding U.S. energy exports, the Trump Administration’s strategy strengthens our alliances and limits the ability of adversaries to pressure other nations. When our partners can buy fuel from America, they are less vulnerable to Moscow, Beijing, or Tehran.
Our adversaries aren’t confused about their priorities. They are investing in hard power and securing energy supplies while Western governments chased “net zero” targets as if they were a strategy. This new National Security Strategy puts energy, industry, and sovereignty back at the center of defense policy and finally acknowledges that green fantasies are no substitute for steel, fuel, and deterrence.

For the first time in years, we have leadership willing to say what servicemembers, energy workers, and ordinary citizens have always known: a strong America runs on reliable energy, not slogans. (Larry Behrens/Power The Future)

- A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s bid to continue the deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., signaling that it may find the troop’s deployment within the nation’s capital to be lawful.
  - Will this decision have any effect on other cities where Trump wants to deploy the guard?
- Nick Reiner in court yesterday. Does he really face the death penalty? How do judges consider a suspect with mental health or substance abuse issues – such as the Reiner double-murder?
- The right should be pro-actively defending free speech, not getting caught up in petty censorship feuds. (NY Post/Rikki Schlott)
  - https://nypost.com/2025/12/17/us-news/conservatives-should-defend-not-censor-free-speech/
  - Conservatives are champions of free speech — and they shouldn’t lose sight of that fact.
  - When woke leftists wielded institutional power and squelched campus free speech, the right defended students’ and professors’ ability to say whatever they please.
    - But now, a new report from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression shows a record number of students whose speech rights were violated, driven by a rise of conservative suppression of expression.
    - The right needs to be careful not to squash the free speech it was just defending.
    - FIRE’s Students Under Fire databaseshows that at least 273 students were targeted for their speech — a record breaking number that’s higher than even the depths of cancel culture in 2020.

The organization says they’ve noticed “a uptick in attempts by the political right to silence speech,” mostly by threatening to strip funding if certain students are not expelled, demanding certain groups be banned and writing executive orders to ban controversial shows or festivals.

Panelist:

Judge Andrew Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Newsmax, Host: Judging Freedom Podcast; his latest Opinion Piece: “Tucker Carlson and the Freedom of Speech.”

Segment Topic:

- American culture and the Republic itself struggles to survive in a sea of communism, Marxism and every other form of ism; and a refusal of some immigrants to assimilate.
  - Michael Finch says in his latest opinion piece in: Front Page Magazine that:

We are all now sadly aware that, in the infamous words of Barack Obama, the Left is seeking to “radically transform the United States of America.” For them to build their new heaven on earth, and attain their fantasized utopia, they must burn down the house, erase the past and wipe it clean.

- In their retelling, America’s birthday no longer is 1776, but 1619. Columbus came to this new land to execute a genocide. America is imperialistic, racist, and sexist, and these sins are baked into its founding. Hence their creation of a self-loathing iteration of American history and culture that infects so many of our citizens. The culture and history of America matter deeply. When we don’t recognize the greatness of our culture and history, when we are taught to hate our own history and myths and stories, then we fracture, we balkanize. We fall apart.
- To restore American culture, to restore Americanism, what is the responsibility of educators? Should they be held responsible for NOT teaching Americanism?
- What are the responsibilities of parents?
- We are fortunate that the path back from the Left’s malicious falsehoods lies all around us. Take to the road and discover this country anew. Read the great books, the poets, visit the State Capitols and let our great buildings inspire you. View the art that projects on canvas the very beauty and inspiration of sea to shining sea.
- Most importantly, don’t wait for our failed schools, but teach our children the essence of our nation’s greatness and beauty. The story of our nation and its people are the most fascinating and inspiring that has ever existed in human history. Be proud and embrace it, learn and teach it, and we just may survive the current and future crises that befall us. (Michael Finch/Front Page Magazine)

Panelist:

Michael Finch is a CEO for the Horowitz (David) Freedom Center. Michael is the author of The Dire Hour to Defend American Beauty: A powerful tribute to the enduring spirit of America—our liberty, our land, our hopes, our memories, our faith, and the beauty of our culture that we seek to restore.

Michael served our nation in the United States Air Force!

Segment Topic:

Narco Narratives Giving Way to Oil Blockade Aimed at Global Rivals China, Iran, and Russia:
Price of crude oil jumps over 1% following Trump ordering a Naval blockade of Venezuela.
What are the ramifications of a blockade from an oil supply standpoint?
What does Trump’s Terrorist Designation of Venezuela’s Regime mean for U.S. Energy and Security?
- What does Europe’s dalliance with green energy and their dependence on Putin mean for their security?
- Why do you believe the initial focus on drug boats was a strategic pretext rather than the real objective?
- How does targeting narcotics trafficking make broader military operations more acceptable to the American public
- What indicators suggest oil tankers were always the underlying target in this Venezuela operation
- How does Venezuela’s oil factor into the interests of China, Russia, and Iran
- In your view, how does this strategy fit historical U.S. patterns of incremental military escalation
- What risks does this approach carry for regional stability in Central and South America
- Could this tactic set a precedent for future interventions framed around drugs or terrorism
- What should Americans be asking about the true costs and consequences of this blockade
  - Prior to the attack at Pearl Harbor, Japan imported 80% of its oil from the United States. Following an embargo of oil shipments to Japan, they launched the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Segment Topic:

Brown University or “Clown University?”
Lack Of Information About Brown University Murders “Allows a Lot of Speculation to Flourish”
“I think with the assassination of Charlie Kirk on a campus there’s a question, no answers yet, but there’s a question whether this was a targeted killing. (Cornell University Law Professor, William A. Jacobson/Legal Insurrection)
The Administration of Brown University, the Providence Police Chief Oscar L. Perez Jr. and the Mayor look like buffoons.
They keep defending not having cameras in an old campus building, however, I have wireless security cameras around my home – why didn’t they have them?

Panelist:

Cornell University Law Professor, William A. Jacobson. Jacobson is author of the conservative law blog, Founder: Legal Insurrection Foundation.

11:33

Segment Topic:

Delayed Pipe Bomb Arrest Reveals a Partisan Biden FBI:
John O’Connor has always defended the FBI – not anymore!
- To be sure, various conservative commentators, prominently among them Dan Bongino, had claimed that the failure to solve the case showed that the pipe bomb was just an FBI “setup” to smear Donald Trump for January 6.
- This theory was not lacking in solid inference if one assumes a straight-shooting FBI not obstructed by a biased White House. Specifically, the Biden White House and Congressional Democrats, using their media megaphone, transmogrified the democratic January 6 protests into far more than the isolated, emotional ugliness they were. In short, the January 6 protest was an understandable populist reaction to an election for which any democracy worth its name should be ashamed. (John O’Connor)
Back on February 5^th, 2023, Bongino floated a conspiracy theory on the J6 pipe bombs.
Bongino claimed that his source was reliable, however; Bongino wants us to believe the conspiracy evaporated when he joined the FBI.
According to the FBI, this was NOT a fake assassination plot back on January 6^th, 2021.
Last February, Bongino assured his listeners that the J6 pipe bomb suspect was part of a conspiracy to drag Trump supporters into a double assassination attempt.

Panelist:

John O’Conner is an experienced trial lawyer, practicing law in San Francisco since 1972. He has tried cases in state and federal court throughout the country. He served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Northern California, representing the United States in both criminal and civil cases.
