Panelist:
- KJP’s Book Tour Implodes – From White House Spin to Public Spectacle!
- Former Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s memoir Independent was meant to be a trailblazing tell-all from the first Black and LGBTQ+ person in the role, a story of resilience against party betrayal and media hazing. Instead, it’s become a viral cautionary tale of denial, deflection, and disaster.
- Forget about Kamala’s word salads, KJP can word salad with the best of them!
- KJP’s Book Is a 172-Page Denial of Reality: Far from a White House tell-all, Independent is a repetitive excuse factory for Biden’s cognitive decline—claiming the party “abandoned” a scandal-free president while “hazing” Kamala Harris, offering zero insight into Oval Office mechanics and instead blaming America for failing to “repay what it owes” Black women who “built the country.”
- Sanctimonious Media Takes That Flip-Flop on Every Page: Jean-Pierre denies the press is liberal (citing a 2022 survey showing half are “independents”), blames distrust on “right-wing disinformation” and “belligerent” reporters, then immediately contradicts herself by raging at a “Trump double standard” where journalists supposedly “softball conservatives” while grilling Democrats—proving the book’s scatterbrained logic matches her briefing-room word salads.
- Victimhood on Steroids, Evidence Not Included: KJP paints every criticism as “Machiavellian” bullying of a Black queer woman, accuses Fox’s Peter Doocy of racism for questioning Harris’s code-switching (which she equates to “sipping a pint of beer”), and fingers Anita Dunn as a backstabbing mentor, yet admits 50 pages later she “wasn’t at the top of my game” and needed months to “find my sea legs,” all without a shred of proof for her conspiracy claims.
- Former Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s memoir Independent was meant to be a trailblazing tell-all from the first Black and LGBTQ+ person in the role, a story of resilience against party betrayal and media hazing. Instead, it’s become a viral cautionary tale of denial, deflection, and disaster.
Panelist:
Curtis Houck, Managing Editor, NewsBusters wrote a blistering NewsBusters review calling the book “painfully stupid and vapid.”
“Jean-Pierre claimed to be an independent, but ruled out ever voting third-party or for a Republican. She claimed there are good people on the right, but then argued they shouldn’t be seen as friends because they don’t “believe you or loved ones have a right to exist.” She extolled Biden’s preparation, but blamed his debate performance on everything from a cold to jet lag to Hunter Biden’s conviction.
Simply put, Jean-Pierre’s book should have never made it past the first line of edits.” – Curtis Houck, Managing Editor, NewsBusters

- Trump Asia meetings have wrapped and he now heads back to Washington – but the MSM is not going to acknowledge Trump’s accomplishments.
- CBS News Purge – who and what is going to replace what has landed on the trash heap.
- Wednesday was a grim day at CBS News as reportedly around 100 people were axed as part of long-rumored layoffs numbering 2,000 people across its parent company Paramount Skydance. The ranks of those let go were vast and deep with both remaining CBS Saturday Morning hosts shown the door, correspondents with decades of experience (and all women), its Race and Culture unit, and even two entire shows.

- Federal Judge Orders Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino to Wear a body Camera and report to Her Every Day. Since when does a Border Patrol Chief report to some Federal Judge?
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released footage that it says shows Border Patrol agents were justified in using tear gas to disperse a chaotic crowd — which at times shouted profanities and threw rocks and other items at officers — during a high-profile immigration raid in Chicago last week.
- During the Oct. 23 enforcement operation, Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino deployed a tear gas cannister — an action that prompted local media outlets and protest groups to file a lawsuit accusing him of violating a temporary restraining order. That order bars federal agents from using chemical agents on protesters without agents facing an imminent threat or giving two prior warnings.
- Federal authorities on Wednesday arrested an anti-ICE protester who allegedly damaged a vehicle belonging to immigration agents during a pot farm raid over the summer near Los Angeles.
- In addition, nine other suspects were arrested for allegedly attacking law enforcement officers over the summer during immigration enforcement operations in and around Los Angeles. Are warrants issued for this type of raid? If so, who issues the warrant (Feds of LA County)

Segment Topic:
The U.S.-China Trade War Isn’t Cooling; It’s Just Getting Started. A preview of the Trump-Xi meeting on Thursday.
By the time Trump meets with Xi on Thursday, he might face a deal where the United States needs much less from China.
The latest escalation between Trump and Xi arose after Beijing announced plans to restrict exports of rare-earth minerals, critical materials needed to power a wide range of electronics. (CNN)
Is it all about rare-earth minerals? If so, Trump has been working around Beijing to secure these much-needed substances (Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand).
The U.S. has been working to expand its supply chains to reduce reliance on China, as Beijing has limited exports of key components in technology manufacturing. (Fox News)
China processes around 90% of the world’s rare earths, which go into everything from solar panels to smartphones, making supply of them to US manufacturers a key bargaining chip.
The last time Beijing tightened export controls – after Trump raised tariffs on Chinese goods early this year – there was an outcry from many US firms reliant on the materials.
If rare-earth minerals are no longer critical to a U.S.-China trade agreement, is Xi in a weaker negotiating position?
But that’s hardly anything new — China, which controls the majority of the world’s supply of rare earth minerals, began putting measures in place to limit foreign access to them over 30 years ago. And as demand for China’s rare earths has increased since, so have the safeguards for allowing other countries to purchase them.
After meeting with Chinese trade negotiators in Malaysia over the weekend, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he anticipates the high-stakes meeting between Trump and Xi could result in “some kind of deferral” on rare-earth export controls.
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who has led Chinese trade talks with Bessent, said the Treasury secretary told Chinese negotiators at their last meeting, “This is the last time we want to be talking about rare earths.” (CNN)
He’s right. “Some kind of deferral” simply means Xi is still going to be able to use access to rare earths as leverage over the United States any time he is perturbed with actions Trump takes.
And when Beijing inevitably announces new ramped-up export controls of rare earths, Trump will likely respond by threatening higher tariffs.
Scott Bessent told the BBC’s US news partner CBS that this included a “final deal” on TikTok’s US operations and a deferral on China’s tightened rare earth minerals controls.
He also said he did not anticipate the 100% tariff on Chinese goods threatened by President Donald Trump coming into force, while China will resume substantial soybean purchases from the US. (BBC)
China is no longer purchasing soybeans from U.S. farmers. Which country have they been importing soybeans from?
Vietnam announced “unprecedented” trade access between the countries. Vietnam also agreed to buying Boeing jets worth more than $8 billion dollars from the US and American agricultural goods.
Trump began his whirlwind weeklong Asia trip on Sunday with a flurry of trade and mineral agreements with his Malaysian and Cambodian counterparts, as well as frameworks for trade pacts with Thailand and Vietnam.
The four countries, part of an 11-member regional bloc called the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), pledged to remove trade barriers, provide preferential market access to U.S. goods, and increase purchases of American agricultural, energy products, and aircraft.
They also agreed to cooperate with Washington on export controls, sanctions and access to critical minerals — commitments that appear to strengthen Trump’s standing in a region where Beijing has a growing clout.
How would you assess Trump’s accomplishments on trade (on his Asia trip) so far and will new trade deals have any impact on a deal with China?
What do American countries need from these agreements and how fast do they need them to kick-in?

Segment Topic: (REBROADCAST OF 10/21/25)
The shutdown: It is not about revenues; it is about spending!
- 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?

- The Last 600 Meters, a 90-minute documentary looking back at the Iraq War, will be broadcast nationally on PBS on the eve of Veterans Day, November 10, 2025 at 10PM (check local listings).

11:33
Segment Topic:
Will Trump’s Asia trips have a positive impact on the U.S. economy? If so, what kind of impact will these trade deals have and when will we notice the impact?
These agreements with Asian countries are agreements to cooperate on access to each other’s markets – rather than a trade agreement with hard numbers on trade; correct?
Have the tariffs imposed by President Trump prior to his Asian trip had an impact on trade negotiations so far?
The news of a basic framework on a U.S.- China deal was met with approval by the markets.
If there is a final deal with Beijing, will the markets respond appropriately or has the bump already been felt?
How do you assess the U.S. – Japan trade deal?
The Fed meets tomorrow to announce its decision on interest rates. What do you expect? Will the shutdown and the absence of economic data available to the Fed have any impact on tomorrow’s meeting or announcement?
The Labor Department, however, on Friday released one key report ahead of its meeting: The Consumer Price Index. That report showed that the inflation rate rose at a pace of 3% last month, cooler than expected, as the impact of President Trump’s wide-ranging tariffs have so far been more muted than economists have forecast. (CBS NEWS)
Tariffs imposed by the president have not yet shown to be inflationary. Will they at some point?

Show Open:
- They are threatening to cut our throats? So says TX State Rep Jolanda Jones; who is running for congress.
- This is not civil war, this is REVOLUTION!
- James Carville is threatening us.
- Pelosi is making threats.
- Bishop Gavin Newsome is threatening to send us to hell!
- Bondi and Homan keep threatening to arrest those who impede ICE – but have failed to do so?
- How would JB Pritzker do on prison food?

Panelist:
DIAL Producers / Callers
9:35
Monologue:
“You Lost: We won”
10:08
Segment Topic:
- Does Trump have Venezuela over a barrel?
- S. Military Presence in South America Is Also about China’s Oil Supply.
- Up to this point, we are being told by the Trump Administration that our actions against Venezuela are focused on narco-terrorists. What is the truth?
- How does Maduro and Venezuela affect China and Russia and Iran?
- The move strategically targets the economic and logistical arteries that connect China, Iran, and Russia through Venezuela’s collapsing infrastructure. Disrupting those flows hits Beijing’s oil security, Tehran’s covert trade routes, and Moscow’s ability to project influence south of the Caribbean.
- It’s no coincidence that the latest actions in Venezuela by the U.S. come just days after China announced that it was moving the goalposts on its rare earths deal with the U.S. Some months back, China agreed to lift export controls on rare earths and recently reneged on that deal. Not long after that, we see a U.S. presence in Venezuela, a country that China desperately needs for its oil.
- The situation in Venezuela isn’t isolated — it’s a convergence point. Behind the headlines of drug raids and cartel clashes lies a far bigger story: Venezuela’s role as a geopolitical hub for America’s greatest adversaries.
- China relies heavily on Venezuelan oil to offset its own energy vulnerabilities and fund its Belt and Road projects. Russia uses the Maduro regime as both a military and intelligence foothold in the Western Hemisphere. Iran, meanwhile, has leveraged its relationship with Caracas to evade sanctions, move oil, and extend its influence into Latin America — the same region now seeing Iranian-linked activity spill over into the Gaza conflict.
- How is China connected to the war in Gaza?
- Is President Trump forced to deal with the reality when he is talking to Putin; China is always lurking in the shadows?
- President Trump announced yesterday that he will meet with President Xi in South Korea next week, however, is Xi still running China or has the CCP clipped his wings?
- What is the truth about Elon Musk’s growing influence, Joe Biden’s China entanglements, and the role of U.S. universities in Beijing’s espionage network?
Panelist:
Joshua Philipp, senior investigative reporter with The Epoch Times and host of Crossroads
Lee Smith, New York Times bestselling author, investigative journalist and author of: The China Matrix.
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.
10:33
Segment Topic:
- Chuck Schumer slams GOP’s claim that Democrats want to give healthcare to illegals as an ‘effing lie.’
- Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer slammed Republicans’ claim that Democrats shutdown the government to provide illegal immigrants with free health care as a “total, absolute, effing lie” during an appearance on MSNBC Wednesday. (MSNBC/Morning Joe)
- 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.
- The Dem-Coms are ratcheting up their threats.
- Do Tom Homan and Pam Bondi need to stop threatening to arrest Michelle Wu, JB Pritzker, Brandon Johnson and Lori Lightfoot and start doing it? What is it going to take, a dead ICE officer?
- 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.
- Phil, what do you make of all the hoopla over the construction at the White House?
- To make matters worse, Bishop Gavin Newsome is threatening to send us to hell.
- Grassley: Garland, Wray OK’d Arctic Frost Probe!
Panelist:
Phil Reboli, Senior Director of Conservative Partnership Institute and former US Senate Legislative Director

- Trump ends Canada trade talks over ‘FAKE’ Ronald Reagan tariff ad: ‘Egregious.’

- Nancy Pelosi, JB Pritzker and others are threatening to arrest Federal law enforcement in their states.
- New York City voters head to the polls in 11-days. Curtis Sliwa will not pull out and yet, violent crime does not seem to be on the mind of voters.

- According to Senator Chuck Gassley, Chris Wray and Merrick Garland green-lit Arctic Frost!
- David Horowitz back in 2019: Democrats are Communists!
- Is America fighting its second revolution?

- The critical importance of restoring of the greatness of American culture:
- The Left’s attacks on our history and culture;
- President Trump’s attempts to make American history and culture great again; and
- The failure of American education in teaching our history and culture.

Segment Topic:
- Remembering the Iraq War and those brave men and women who fought there:
- The Last 600 Meters, a 90-minute documentary looking back at the Iraq War, will be broadcast nationally on PBS on the eve of Veterans Day, November 10, 2025 at 10PM (check local listings).
- There is a hunger for films that celebrate the men and women fighting for our freedom that portray them objectively, without political commentary.
- The Last 600 Meters focuses on two of the deadliest battles of the Iraq War, in Najaf in the South against the Shiite Mahdi militia, and in Fallujah in the West against Sunni insurgents.
- The film tells the story of these battles, not through narration, but through the words and deeds of those who fought there. It tells the ground truth. This compelling documentary of urban warfare is newly relevant, in light of the ongoing wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
- If you could list the three most positive aspects of our war in Iraq, what would they be?
Panelist:
Michael Pack, director and producer of The Last 600 Meters.

- 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.).

Panelist:

10:08
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.
Panelist:
Judge Andrew Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Newsmax, Host: Judging Freedom Podcast; his latest Opinion Piece: “A Trumpian Headache!”
10:33
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.
Panelist:
Robert Spencer, Author: Intifada on the Hudson: The Selling of Zohran Mamdani
What Zohran Mamdani Really Believes… and Why He’s So Dangerous
11:06
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?
Panelist:
Corinne Cliford, independent journalist, White House Press Corps member.
11:33
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.

Show Open:
- Trump admin on pace to shatter deportation record by end of first year: ‘Just the beginning.’
- Since Trump’s return to the Oval Office on Jan 20, the administration has deported over 515,000 illegal aliens.
- The Dem-Com’s opened surrendered our borders to the Cartels (for four years). Now they are here, operating in America, when will those who have calling ICE terrorists be held to account?
Panelist:
Hugh Fike, Senior Director, (The Academy) The Conservative Partnership Institute.
Hugh brings over a decade of experience in the conservative movement to CPI and has spent time in conservative non-profits, Capitol Hill, the Office of Management and Budget in the first Trump Administration, and most recently back at the Office of Management and Budget in the second Trump Administration.

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).

Segment Topic:
- 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.

- Is TDS a call to wage war?

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.
Panelists:
Daniel Turner, Executive Director, Power the Future
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

- Is Russia losing militarily in Ukraine?
- Evelyn Farkas, current Executive Director of The McCain Institute, and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia and Ukraine under Barack Obama (Russia has been weakened)?

9:06
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?

Segment Topic:
- 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?

11:33
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.

11:50 Salute the Troops
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.

- 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)

Segment Topic:
Precious Freedom explores this question in a powerful novel that is drawn from the pages of history. Informed by ten years of research and hundreds of interviews with US Marines, Viet Cong snipers, and Vietnamese fighters, politicians, and leaders, Precious Freedom is storytelling at its finest.
In 1967, nineteen-year-old Chip Zobel enlists in the Marines, answering his government’s call to defend democracy in South Vietnam. But what he finds on the ground shakes his faith: poisoned punji sticks, rotting uniforms, Agent Orange–tainted drinking water, constant ambushes, a brutal case of malaria—and the realization that many of the Viet Cong he’s fighting are actually South Vietnamese locals—the men and women he thought he was fighting to defend.
Back home, Chip’s mother, Betty, initially a staunch supporter of the war, begins to question its morality.
His father, Hank, a former Navy corpsman who fought in the Battle of Saipan during World War II, grows skeptical as he begins to read US military reports that compare Ho Chi Minh to George Washington—a fierce patriot who leads his people to freedom.
Meanwhile, in a quiet Vietnamese hamlet, fifteen-year-old May watches as a US Marine kills her father. She flees to the forest and joins a Viet Cong training camp. Three months later, she makes her first kill as a sniper—eventually, she will kill four more Americans with her rifle. Unbeknownst to her, her path will ultimately cross with that of the Marine who killed her father—Chip Zobel.
James Bradley wrote Precious Freedom to honor all who served in Vietnam and to help a new generation understand the war’s complex truths.
This is a story that America has never been told.
Panelist:
James Bradley, author: Precious Freedom: A Novel
The Vietnam War was a tragedy for America—and for Vietnam. But for the Vietnamese, it was also a victory: they defeated the world’s wealthiest country and most powerful military. James Bradley, the author of Flags of Our Fathers, began to wonder: How did they win?
James Bradley, author of Precious Freedom: A Novel, is the New York Times #1 bestselling author of Flags of Our Fathers, Flyboys, The Imperial Cruise, and The China Mirage. James lived in Vietnam for ten years to research and write his fifth book, Precious Freedom: A Novel of the Vietnam War.

- In the second instance, Widman Osberto Lopez-Funes, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, rammed his vehicle into ICE agents during a targeted enforcement operation, and then exited the vehicle and fled into his residence in Bensenville, IL.

Democrats vote against reopening government for the 10th time.
- Are the Dem-Com’s using the shutdown to whittle away at the BBB?
- Is the shutdown about a power struggle inside the Democrat Party for control?
- Some (inside the Beltway pundits) have pointed to tomorrow’s “No Kings” rally’s as the red line for opening the government. If the rallies are well attended and forceful, the Dem’s will keep the government closed. If they are a failure, they will cave.
- President Donald Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” that Democrats “made one mistake” with the ongoing government shutdown.
- “I think they could just stay out forever, I mean, to be honest with you. Now, what we’re doing is we’re cutting Democrat programs that we didn’t want because… I mean, they made one mistake. They didn’t realize that that gives me the right to cut programs that Republicans never wanted. You know, giveaways, welfare programs, et cetera. And we’re doing that, and we’re cutting them permanently,” Trump said. (Fox)
