10:08 ET · EM Burlingame · Data Centers, What Are We Doing
America is becoming all too aware that data centers are being built at a blinding pace. These are not the cute little warehouse buildings of a few server racks and a few IT folks minding the store. These are leviathans, with the largest campus planned for Utah at no less than 62 square miles. With more than 4,000 already built or planned, the great AI race is underway and trillions are at stake. This is not about fancy AI pictures on a phone.
Concerns about this new national push range from resources consumed in power and water, to eminent domain fights like the ones in Georgia, to questions about end use. Are we potentially aiding and abetting a liberty-eliminating surveillance state.
EM Burlingame, a friend and true renaissance man with specialties in neuroscience, computational engineering, entrepreneurship, capital, Special Forces, and writing. Recent books include As Rome Burns and The Eternal War.
- Are Americans right to be concerned about these projects. What are the alternatives, and are there hidden elements to the resources required we cannot see.
- What would a sustainable model look like.
- The tools these systems will offer are staggering. Policy is not even close to keeping up. How do we advance our tech while respecting our constitution.

10:33 ET · Lance Medlin · Red Post Energy
Lance Medlin, Founder and CEO of Red Post Energy, joins the show. Full disclosure: Jake is an advisor to this startup. Yes, we touch on data centers, but the bigger story is the American electric grid and the gaps that are widening fast. Lance is a U.S. Marine veteran with more than 25 years across oil and gas and power generation, having held CEO, COO, President, and Country Manager roles, and having developed capital project budgets from under $5 million to over $40 billion. He founded Red Post Energy on a mission-first mindset to move faster, build smarter, and secure America’s power, with disciplined execution, strategic public-private alignment, and large-scale infrastructure development.
- In the context of what team Red Post is doing, how can a crawl-walk-run strategy ease tensions between communities and the big centers going up.
- How do we turn American abundance in natural gas into a national competitive advantage.
- With John McDonough on board as President of Red Post Energy LLC and Dr. Justin Velez-Hagan as CIO, what does Red Post’s path from early-stage development to full-scale deployment look like.
- Listener questions from DIAL.

11:06 ET · Tom Luongo · Our Vulnerable Economy
Market crisis everywhere. Bonds, private banking, liquidity, inflation, employment, foreclosures, and more, against a brutal backdrop of wars and potential wars, great power competition, and globalists wanting to confiscate or control all we have. We need someone tracking all of it.
Tom Luongo joins us. Tom is a Newsmax newsletter author, host of the Gold, Goats n Guns podcast, and publisher of his subscriber newsletter.
- From a chemist’s root cause analysis background. Is this fundamentally a 5GW Sovereigntists versus Globalists war.

CIA ODNI Showdown, Trump China Summit Graded, WHO Pandemic Playbook Returns | Your News Talk America | May 18, 2026
Show Notes and Rundown
Your News Talk America · Show Notes
Monday, May 18, 2026 · Brig Gen (ret) Holt guest hosting
9:06 · Show Open and Monologue
Brig Gen (ret) Holt takes the chair as guest host. He opens with the framing issue of the morning: the CIA appears to be flouting POTUS intent and a standing executive order. Holt rolls audio of a Greg Kelly headline read covering the CIA taking boxes from ODNI.
Setting the table:
- Holt previews the morning’s themes and guests
- Audio clip: Greg Kelly on the CIA seizure of material from ODNI
- Frame for the hour: constitutional crisis, or agency operating outside the lines as usual
9:20 · LTC Tony Shaffer on the CIA Raid at ODNI
Last week, a whistleblower account described what looked like a 40 box take by the CIA from a supervisory organization. The reporting has since softened. The word “raid” became “seized.” Fox pulled the Jesse Watters interview. Rep Anna Paulina Luna had called for a presser on X.com, then quietly stood it down. Shaffer walks Holt through what the public record actually shows now, and what that softening pattern says about the line between agency and oversight.
Talking points:
- The whistleblower claim: 40 boxes or a select few documents
- The “raid” to “seized” softening across coverage
- Pulled Watters interview and the cancelled Luna presser
- Is this in fact a constitutional crisis
Guest: LTC Tony Shaffer, President of Project Sentinel, podcast host, and Newsmax contributor.
9:35 · Col Towner-Watkins on Deep State History and the Fabian Society
Holt brings on Colonel Towner-Watkins, fellow retired Air Force officer and a top researcher into CIA history and secret societies. The argument: this CIA ODNI episode is not new to American history. Towner-Watkins maps how we got to a place where an intelligence agency has zero trouble operating outside the hierarchy and arguably outside the Constitution.
Around 9:45, the conversation pivots to the Fabian Society, founded in 1884, and how that lineage helps connect the dots between near term headlines and the bigger architecture most observers miss.
Talking points:
- The historical pattern of intel agencies operating off the books
- 9:45: the Fabian Society and the long game
- Tying near term events back to the deeper architecture
10:08 · Trump’s China Trip: A+, F-, or Incomplete
Audio clip of the President characterizing the visit as a victory. Holt sets up the harder case: even the CCP Foreign Ministry’s own readout pointed to a thin scorecard. Then Gordon Chang takes the question apart.
What was not announced:
- No agreement on Iran
- No agreement on fentanyl
- No trade agreement
- No Taiwan agreement
- No 200 jet deal
Chang on what to watch:
- Whether the meeting moves the Iran file at all
- The Politburo two weeks earlier essentially conceding the country is broke and crafting policy at the expense of an already beaten public
- Any real signs of a better course for US Sino relations
Guest: Gordon Chang, Senior Fellow at the Gatestone Institute and author of Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America. gatestoneinstitute.org · Plan Red on Amazon
10:33 · Joshua Philipp on the Summit’s Subtext
Joshua Philipp, host of CrossRoads on NTD, joins Holt to read the nuances. Was Xi’s Thucydides Trap reference a calculated insult to the United States, or was it Xi quietly acknowledging that China is the power on the decline?
Talking points:
- Philipp’s grade for the summit and what he was watching for
- The Thucydides Trap framing: insult, or admission of decline
- What Beijing actually walked away with
11:08 · Medical Crises and Familiar Milestones
Audio clip from Dangerous Intellectuals with Dr Peter McCullough. The pattern in view: Hantavirus, Norovirus, Ebola, and Alpha Gal all surfacing in close succession, with notable mainstream silence. Holt’s read is that this looks less like a series of random emergencies and more like a coordinated line of attack. Dr Mary Bowden joins to ground the conversation.
Talking points:
- Is the WHO and the medical establishment trying to resurrect the 2020 pandemic playbook
- The Martinez paper on the Hanta Andes strain and the claim of person to person transmission
- Dr McCullough’s view that the Martinez paper was never valid scholarship and should be discarded
- What patients and physicians should be watching for right now
Guest: Dr Mary Bowden, a standout during COVID who stood by her patients and her Hippocratic Oath when the medical establishment moved to cancel her. Author of the forthcoming book Dangerous Misinformation, available now for pre-order. breathemd.org
11:45 · Afterlogue
Holt wraps with a quick recap, encourages anyone who missed a segment to go back and listen, plugs Dangerous Intellectuals Episode 36, and reminds the audience that they can catch him on Newsmax every day. Tee up for the next show and the continued examination of the most pressing issues in the nation.
11:50 · Salute the Troops

Show Notes and Rundown
Your News Talk America · Show Notes
Friday, May 15, 2026 · Hosted by Jake Smith
9:06 Show Open: Trump Wraps China Trip, Reports of CIA Raid on DNI Gabbard’s Office
Jake opens with reports that DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s office was raided two nights ago by the CIA, with records related to the JFK assassination and CIA mind control programs reportedly seized. Then the show pivots to the president’s stated assessment of his Beijing visit: “We were treated very well.”
- Trump departs China after touting trade deals and a stated agreement with Xi Jinping on Iran, including that Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon. How long until China reneges or cheats?
- In an exclusive interview with Sean Hannity, Trump said Xi offered to help ensure navigation through the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S. and Iran continue talks. (Fox News)
- Trump says Xi agreed to buy 200 Boeing jets during the Beijing meetings.
- Kevin O’Leary: “The problem is, and it’s been documented so many times, they don’t play by the rules. These companies who are doing business there are finding all kinds of problems. Their IP gets stolen all the time. They can’t litigate when they have a dispute. There’s no way to resolve it.”
- Xi warned Trump on Taiwan, but is Xi in any position to back up the tough talk?
- Xi called America a country in decline. Isn’t China actually the one in decline?
- What was different about Trump’s 2017 visit versus this one?
- NVIDIA is going to sell chips to China. Is that a good idea?
Panelist: Dr. John Marshall Callahan, Professor at the Institute of World Politics and former Deputy Spokesperson at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. · IWP faculty bio
9:20 Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and What Tehran Still Has Left
Iran has been relatively quiet during Trump’s visit to China. Did pressure from Xi have anything to do with it? Gen. Wesley K. Clark joins Dr. Callahan to read the room on Beijing’s leverage over Tehran and CENTCOM’s assessment of what the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps still has in the field.
- How is China likely to pressure Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz?
- Can Xi be trusted when he tells Trump, “whatever you need?”
- Will arms shipments to Iran continue regardless of Xi’s promises?
- CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper says the IRGC still has moderate military capability despite a diminished threat, with 70 to 75 percent of its rocket launchers available. How much of a concern is this?
- Admiral Cooper also testified that the U.S. has destroyed 85 percent of Iran’s weapons manufacturing capabilities. How dangerous is the remaining 15 percent?
Panelists: Dr. John Marshall Callahan, IWP · Gen. Wesley K. Clark, retired four star U.S. Army officer and former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe (1997 to 2000). Clark graduated first in his class at West Point (1966), was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in Vietnam. As SACEUR he led Operation Allied Force during the 1999 Kosovo War.
9:35 Monologue
Jake’s take of the day.
9:45 “America’s 250th Coming · Time 2 Re-declare” with Allan Parker
Timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, Parker and fellow signatories have released the Declaration of the Right to Life in the U.S. Constitution, a formal appeal to the Supreme Court, Congress, and the American people asserting that the Constitution’s Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment Life Clauses protect life from commencement.
- The declaration argues the Constitution already protects life from commencement.
- It cites the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment Life Clauses.
- It references founders James Wilson and John Witherspoon and draws on originalist constitutional interpretation to argue that early American law recognized legal protection for human life from its beginning.
- It calls on the Supreme Court to recognize the constitutional right to life.
- The declaration frames the abortion question as a constitutional and civilizational matter tied to the nation’s founding creed that all people are “endowed by their Creator” with the unalienable right to life.
- Supporters argue America cannot celebrate 250 years of liberty while, in their view, failing to protect the first right named in the Declaration itself.
- Nowhere has abortion been more devastating than Communist China. The one child policy has reshaped its country and its culture.
Panelist: Allan Parker, President of The Justice Foundation. · thejusticefoundation.org
10:08 Alan Dershowitz on The Preventative State, the Midterms, and the Redistricting Wars
Professor Dershowitz has said publicly that he is working to ensure the Democrats do not take control of the House and Senate next January. Jake asks why, plus how the law professor reads the redistricting fight, the violence outside a Jewish center in Brooklyn, and whether any elected official has taken up the ideas from his latest book.
- Why work to keep the Democrats out of a House and Senate majority?
- The video earlier this week of pro Hamas thugs terrorizing Jewish teenagers outside a Jewish center in Brooklyn. Are these the seeds sown by the Democrats in America?
- The war over redistricting. How does the professor see it?
- Has any elected representative approached the professor about implementing the ideas in The Preventative State?
Panelist: Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law Professor Emeritus. Author of The Preventative State: The Challenge of Preventing Serious Harms While Preserving Essential Liberties, a roadmap for today’s complex legal and constitutional issues.
10:20 The EU Wants a Say on the Paramount and Warner Merger
A group of U.S. and European lawmakers told Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison that the company’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery will be subject to careful scrutiny by European regulators and that he should not consider shareholder approval of the deal to be the final word. Three European Parliament members and two Democratic U.S. House lawmakers issued the warning in a letter sent Thursday and shared exclusively with CNBC.
- Why does the EU have anything to say about the merger of two U.S. corporations?
- Isn’t this another case of EU harassment of U.S. companies?
- Gary, we had you on YNTA back on April 27. Have you had any change of heart on this merger since then? Is this a good or bad deal for consumers?
Source: CNBC · Paramount, WBD, Congress, EU and David Ellison
Panelist: Gary Scimeca, Chair, Consumer Action for a Strong Economy (CASE). · caseforconsumers.org
10:33 Pennsylvania Election Integrity Update with Cdr. Gregory Stenstrom
Our next panelist has spent so much time representing himself in court that he decided to write a book about it. Jake asks Cdr. Stenstrom why he was forced to file lawsuits pro se while fighting for election integrity in Pennsylvania, and where things stand now.
- Why the pro se litigation in the fight for election integrity in Pennsylvania?
- It has been almost one month since the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that election Cast Vote Records (CVR) must be made public. What has happened since?
- Are you confident the November midterms will be free and fair?
Panelist: Commander Gregory Stenstrom, USN. Author of I Stand on my Briefs: Pro Se Legal Warfare. Pennsylvania Election Integrity Investigator. · patriot.online
10:50 The Constitution of 1789 with Ilan Wurman
If ever there was a time to reflect on who we are as a nation and how faithfully we have lived up to the high mark set by the founders, America’s 250th birthday would be that time. Professor Wurman’s new book is packed with insights on the Constitution’s original meaning across the separation of powers, emergency powers, foreign affairs, war, the legislative veto, judicial power, the Constitution and slavery, federalism, commerce, state sovereignty, and taxing and spending.
Professor Wurman weighs in on current legal questions:
- Maduro and Iran: “International law is irrelevant to the question of constitutional power. Whether the President can unilaterally capture Maduro, or intervene in Iran, has nothing to do with international law and everything to do with the Constitution’s original distribution of powers.”
- Voting Rights Act: “The Supreme Court rebuffed the progressive movement lawyer theory of the Voting Rights Act that required states to maximize Democratic voting power by unconstitutionally focusing on race.”
- Birthright Citizenship: “The Supreme Court has never decided the question of birthright citizenship for children born to illegal aliens or temporary visitors. The Trump Administration is on much stronger footing as a historical matter than many believe.”
Panelist: Ilan Wurman, Julius E. Davis Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota Law School. Author of The Constitution of 1789: A New Introduction. · Books by Ilan Wurman
11:06 Chris Salcedo on The Rise of the Liberty-Loving Latino
For decades, leftists in the media and in the Democrat Party have tried to sell a simple equation: to be Latino is to be liberal. They claimed any resistance to their agenda, whether open borders, defunding the police, or socialist economic policy, was racist. That narrative was never true, and millions of Latinos are proving it wrong every day. Salcedo’s book tells the story mainstream media refuses to cover: a growing number of Hispanic Americans standing up for faith, family, freedom, and the Constitution.
- How do you react to Kamala Harris’s comments to the leftist organization Emerge America? Is this their manifesto to seize power?
- Hakeem Jeffries is at it again. “Maximum warfare.” Now he is going to crush our souls? Whose souls is he going to crush?
- Jeffries sounds angry. His party wasted $70 million in the Virginia redistricting scheme.
- What is your analysis of the redistricting wars, and do Republicans have an advantage heading into November?
- How are Latinos doing at this point in President Trump’s second term? They are undoubtedly hurt by higher energy prices. Have the benefits from the BBB made a difference?
- Will the fraud investigations gain any traction for the midterms?
Panelist: Chris Salcedo, author of The Rise of the Liberty-Loving Latino. Host of the Chris Salcedo Radio Show on AM 700 KSEV Houston and 820 AM WBAP Dallas/Fort Worth, plus The Salcedo Storm Podcast.
11:33 Countdown to 250 · Constitutional Questions with Dr. Murray Sabrin
Celebrating 250 years of American independence. Dr. Sabrin brings the week’s constitutional question to the table.
- Should President Trump have sought congressional approval before the war in Iran?
- Congress does control the purse strings.
- What was the constitutional issue that caught your eye this week?
Panelist: Murray Sabrin, PhD, Mises Institute Associated Scholar and Emeritus Professor of Finance at Ramapo College of New Jersey. Judge Andrew Napolitano calls Dr. Sabrin “a courageous genius and an intellectual giant.”
11:50 Salute the Troops

Show Notes and Rundown
Your News Talk America · Show Notes
Wednesday, May 13, 2026 · 9 AM to 12 PM ET
9:06 · China Mailing Glock Switches to Americans
Why is our enemy in Beijing selling Glock switches to Americans through the mail? Who are these recipients, and are they tied to terrorist or insurgent groups? China continues its campaign to destabilize the United States from the inside.
- Federal customs officers in Chicago seized more than 100 shipments of Glock switches and suppressors from Chinese senders last month, bound for recipients across the United States.
- In April, U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Anti Terrorism Contraband Enforcement Team seized 269 parts that modify weapons to fire fully automatic or suppress gunshot sound.
- Across 107 shipments, federal officers recovered 255 pistol conversion switches and 14 suppressors.
- CBP reported 1,507 gun altering devices seized in 2024, making April’s seizures dramatically higher than normal.
- Federal law prohibits possession or use of automatic fire conversion switches. The devices convert standard semi automatic handguns to fully automatic and can be ordered online or produced on 3D printers.
- A CBP photo of seized switches showed at least one with a sticker reading “F*** THE ATF” · the agency that enforces federal gun laws.
Source: Washington Examiner · CBP gun suppressors, Glock switches, China
Panelist: Anna Giaritelli, Homeland Security Reporter, Washington Examiner. Anna broke the Glock switch story yesterday.
9:20 · Patel Versus Van Hollen, Plus Border Crisis Update
Fireworks at a Senate hearing yesterday. FBI Director Kash Patel went off on Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen during a fiery exchange over accusations of excessive drinking.
- Van Hollen cited “multiple reports, including by The Atlantic” alleging episodes of excessive drinking, unexplained absences, and behavior that concerned current and former FBI and DOJ officials.
- Patel immediately ripped into Van Hollen for sipping margaritas on the taxpayer dime · a reference to Van Hollen’s 2024 trip to meet Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS 13 affiliate deported for residing illegally in Maryland.
- Every Trump administration official now faces a Democrat firing squad when called before House and Senate committees.
Illegal immigration back in the news:
- Six deceased individuals were found in a Union Pacific Railroad car near the border town of Laredo, Texas, on Sunday afternoon, according to local police.
- Fire and EMS workers in Laredo pulled the bodies from inside the car after a railroad employee called emergency responders. The train was stopped at a yard roughly 13 miles north of the US Mexico border.
- Yesterday, a Mexican national was jailed for smuggling thousands of illegal aliens through Mexico into the United States.
Panelist: Anna Giaritelli, Homeland Security Reporter, Washington Examiner.
9:35 · Monologue: “Didn’t You Know?”
Jake’s mid morning monologue. Tune in live to hear the full take.
9:45 · Redistricting Wars, ICE Student Visa Fraud, DHS Funding
- The war over redistricting continues and it is turning American voters into scorekeepers. How have recent rulings from the US Supreme Court and the Virginia Supreme Court reshaped the fight on Capitol Hill?
- ICE alleges widespread fraud in a major foreign student work program. More than 10,000 foreign students “claim to be working for highly suspect employers,” according to ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons.
- With the stroke of a pen, President Donald Trump ended a Department of Homeland Security shutdown that dragged on for more than two months.
- Republicans are now scrambling to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol, both left out of the deal that reopened DHS. What happened, and what comes next?
- What are the facts here about ending the defunding effort by Democrats against DHS?
Source: Epoch Times · ICE Alleges Widespread Fraud in Major Foreign Student Work Program
Panelist: Nathan Worcester, Senior Reporter and award winning journalist for the Epoch Times, based in Washington DC.
10:08 · Battle for the Senate, Cooper’s Released Felons, Farm Bill
- The battle for control of the United States Senate is underway.
- Democrat Roy Cooper made a COVID era deal in 2021 to release more than 3,500 criminals early from prison. Since then, 18 of those criminals have committed murder and more than 600 have committed other felonies. Who gets the blame · Cooper or his proxy, the ACLU?
- The redistricting war continues. Was the Democrat effort to eliminate any Republican representation in Virginia the Fort Sumter moment for the 2026 midterms?
- How important was the passage of the Farm Bill for Southeast farmers last week?
Panelist: Emma Hall, Southeast Regional Communications Director, RNC · @EmmaHallK on X
10:20 · Inflation, Oil, the BBB, and the Trump China Trip
- Is the Trump inflation story “transitory” after all?
- The CEO of Saudi Arabia’s state owned oil company is warning that the energy sector will take time to recover from the Iran war’s impact on supply, as output was slashed by ongoing disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. His estimate for full recovery: 2027.
- A proposal backed by Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez to raise the federal minimum wage to $25 an hour is drawing warnings from economists who say the plan could squeeze small businesses and hit red states hardest.
- Most economic reports released by the government show an economy that is humming. How does David see the current state of the US economy?

- Trump’s visit to China · what about tariffs?
Panelist: David Hebert, PhD, Senior Research Fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research · aier.org bio
10:33 · Iran’s Internal Crackdown and the Vatican Honor
There may be a ceasefire between Iran and the United States, but that does not mean the Iranian regime is at peace with its own people. The war is on hold; the internal crackdown is only deepening.
- NBC News spoke to a relative of one man executed last month as authorities ramp up a deadly campaign against those seen as the enemy within.
- Iran on Tuesday executed a man convicted of armed rebellion · the latest in a wave of hangings since war broke out with the United States and Israel.
- “The death sentence for Abdoljalil Shahbakhsh, son of Jalal, a trained member of the Ansar al Furqan terrorist group, was carried out this morning,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website said. He had been charged with rebellion through armed attacks on police headquarters and membership in Ansar al Furqan.
- Question for Homeira: What did you make of Pope Leo bestowing the Vatican’s highest diplomatic honor on the Islamic Republic’s Ambassador, Ayatollah Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari · a man who represents a regime that has slaughtered 42,000 of its own people and imposes the death penalty on Muslims who convert to Christianity?
- Question for Homeira: Israelis are concerned about the NCRI, which you support. They believe your organization will continue the same policies toward Israel supported by the current regime. What do you say to Jewish listeners about those concerns?
Panelist: Homeira Hesami, Former Political Prisoner in Iran.
10:50 · The Islamists Are Here. Their Jihad Has Begun.
- Pope Leo XIV bestowed the Vatican’s highest diplomatic honor on the Islamic Republic’s Ambassador, Ayatollah Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari. He represents a regime that slaughtered 42,000 of its own people and imposes the death penalty on Muslims who convert to Christianity. He is an Islamist, not a Muslim.
- Clashes erupt at a Brooklyn synagogue during an Israeli real estate protest. Pro Palestinian demonstrators targeted an Israeli real estate expo at Young Israel Senior Services of Midwood, protesting what they called the illegal sale of Palestinian land.
- The confrontation led to scuffles, pepper spray use, and four arrests including two teens and two adults on charges including assault and disorderly conduct.
- Videos showed physical confrontations amid chants of “globalize the intifada” and flags including one from Hezbollah, while counter protesters were local Orthodox Jewish residents.
- The event echoed a similar protest on May 5. Jewish leaders decried the intimidation, and critics targeted new New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani amid rising antisemitic incidents in NYC.
- A Hamas supporter wore a fake suicide vest at the Monday protest. How did police know it was fake? Should he have been shot on the spot? Is that not terroristic threatening?
- Were these Hamas supporters aware of the sexual atrocities forced upon those kidnapped on October 7th? They should read today’s NY Post story closely.

11:06 · The Hidden Hand: Wealth, Power, and Control
Mankind’s lust for power and wealth has been with us throughout history. So argues Eric Daniel Buesing, author of The Hidden Hand: Wealth, Power, and Control from Pharaohs to Corporations.
Buesing argues that a continuous architecture of elite power has shaped human civilization from ancient Sumer to modern global corporations. He frames this not as conspiracy theory but as systems science, identifying four recurring mechanisms used by ruling elites:
- Coercion
- Alignment
- Amnesia
- Conflict
These mechanisms, he claims, appear across:
- Egyptian famine politics
- Venetian banking networks
- Rockefeller era eugenics
- Modern surveillance capitalism
- Digital blackmail and kompromat systems
Scope of the book: The work traces power structures across ancient civilizations, medieval guilds, colonial trading companies, intelligence operations, and contemporary Big Tech and global finance.

Panelist: Eric Daniel Buesing, author of The Hidden Hand: Wealth, Power, and Control from Pharaohs to Corporations.
11:20 · The Redistricting Wars: Where, When, and How Does It End?
- What is your opinion of the redistricting wars?
- Were the Democrats too confident about Virginia?
- Redistricting is a dangerous game, because voters may be dissuaded from going to the polls when they suspect gerrymandering has negated their power.
- How do we fix this? It has to be at the state level · correct?

11:33 · New Jersey Targets Parental Rights, Plus Mental Health in America
Could state and local governments be working to undermine parents in America? A major parental rights story is emerging from New Jersey.
- In June 2025, New Jersey lawmakers introduced two bills targeting homeschool families under the banner of “child safety” and “mental health.” After massive backlash from parents nationwide, both bills died in committee.
- Activists quietly reintroduced the bills in January 2026 once public attention faded.
- One bill would expand government oversight and reporting requirements on homeschool families. The other is even more concerning: it opens the door for mental health screening and intervention standards that many parents believe could be weaponized against families who reject gender ideology or activist driven school policies.
- Don’t we have evidence that transitioned kids have mental health problems? If so, what is New Jersey’s plan to address mental health problems when you chemically alter a child’s sexual assignment?
- A recent NYC story: a 76 year old man was pushed down a subway stair and died. The accused, a habitual offender, was released back onto the street to prey on innocent New Yorkers. This story is all too familiar.

Topics:
- By not ordering the resumption of Operation Epic Fury, does President Trump now look weak?
- President Donald Trump dismissed Iran’s latest multipage proposal, signaling continued deadlock in negotiations to end the war.
- “I have just read the response from Iran’s so called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
- According to reports, Iran’s response, delivered through Pakistani mediators, failed to address Washington’s core demand for advance commitments on the future of its nuclear program and uranium reserves.
- Iran’s deputy foreign minister warned against efforts by the United Kingdom and France to deploy naval assets to the Strait of Hormuz, vowing an “immediate response” to any Western intervention.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the war is ongoing and pointed to Iran’s nuclear material as the central unresolved threat. (Fox News)

Topics:
- Oil prices jumped more than $3 a barrel after the United States and Iran failed to agree on a peace proposal Sunday, with restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz continuing to keep energy supplies tight. Is this Iran’s new strategy to prolong U.S. involvement, ramping up pressure on Trump domestically and internationally?
- If President Trump does order resumption of attacks on Iran, will they target specific infrastructure rather than launching a wider bombing campaign?
- If Iran will not surrender its enriched uranium, does the U.S. resume attacking Iran’s underground storage facilities?
- “Because there’s still nuclear material, enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran, there is still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled,” Netanyahu said on 60 Minutes Sunday night.
- Reality: Iran is never going to surrender its uranium and never going to surrender to the United States. Does President Trump have any alternative but to resume attacks on the regime?

Topics:
- Putin accuses the U.S. of pulling out of a secret plutonium deal with Iran, which would have given Russia custody of Iran’s stockpiles of enriched material.

- Trump goes to China with what appears to be total control of their future oil supply.

11:06 ET Flight Attendant Wins Nearly $1 Million in Religious Discrimination Case
Topics:
- Former Southwest Airlines flight attendant Charlene Carter has, after six years of legal battles, finally been awarded nearly $1 million after a jury found that radical Transport Workers Union (TWU) bosses instigated Carter’s firing simply because she had expressed her protected religious beliefs. She received free legal aid from the National Right to Work Foundation.
- In 2017, Carter sent private Facebook messages and videos to then TWU Local 556 President Audrey Stone, criticizing the union’s involvement in the Women’s March, which Carter, a Christian who opposes abortion, deemed to be supporting abortion.
- Following a complaint by Stone, Southwest fired Carter for violating company “civility” and harassment policies, prompting Carter to file a lawsuit alleging religious discrimination under Title VII and violations of the Railway Labor Act.
- Represented by the National Right to Work Foundation, Carter won an initial jury trial in July 2022. The case involved allegations that union officials used dues for political activities against some members’ beliefs.
- Internal communications revealed at trial showed that TWU union bosses had nothing but contempt for Carter after she raised concerns about the use of dues to send flight attendants to agitate at the Planned Parenthood backed Women’s March in 2017. One union official stated, “I wish I could give her a list of all the campaigns she has donated to in the last 17 years! Her head would explode.”

Topics:
- Is it time to find alternative funding for schools and government services so all citizens pay for services equally?
- Public school spending now exceeds $1 trillion annually, and citizen groups say they have had enough. (The Epoch Times / Aaron Gifford)
- There is the elderly couple who paid off their mortgage decades ago but cannot afford the property taxes on their home. Their local government, theoretically, can seize the property and auction it off to someone else if the annual bills remain unpaid.
- There is the recent retiree who took a part time job at Lowe’s to pay property taxes on his rental property and avoid raising his tenants’ rent.
- Add empty nesters who cannot downsize to smaller houses because interest rates are too high, farmers describing an impossible situation, and recent college graduates groaning about moving farther from home to find affordable housing.
- If 413,000 residents throughout Ohio sign a petition before July 1, a public vote to eliminate local property taxes will appear on the November ballot.
- “Let the state find a way where 100 percent of the population pays for education,” one Cincinnati volunteer told The Epoch Times. “They give profit making businesses a break, but not us.”

Community Bank Delaware

Monologue:
The same song and dance
9:50
Segment Topic:
- As everyone knows by now, Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student who was brutally murdered in 2024 by a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela who was allowed to enter the country during the Biden administration, committed for crimes after arriving here and was turned loose by the sanctuary jurisdictions that arrested him.
- Sheridan Gorman was an 18-year-old college freshman studying at Loyola University in Chicago. Last Thursday, she went out with friends to view the Northern Lights from shores of Lake Michigan and was gunned down in cold blood by another illegal alien criminal. The man charged with her murder is Jose Medina, another illegal alien from Venezuela who was allowed to enter the country during the Biden administration, and was subsequently arrested by the Chicago Police for theft in 2023. Instead of turning him over to ICE for removal, per Chicago sanctuary policy, he was released back into the community. Medina never showed up for his court case and has been roaming the streets of the city ever since.
- Sadly, Sheridan joins a long list Americans who have paid the ultimate price when state and local politicians make protection of illegal aliens – including criminal illegal aliens – over the safety of the public. These policies are a fact that her grieving family alluded to in a statement. FAIR
- Ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevichshared a stunning theory about the illegal migrant accused of executing a Chicago area college student in cold blood — that it was part of some “gang initiation.”
- Hewrote on X that he believes Jose Medina-Medina murdered Sheridan Gorman in an effort to make an impression with a local gang.
- “Sheridan Gorman’s killer is being held in isolation. I suspect Pritzker & the Dems are hiding him to COVER-UP the fact that this illegal immigrant killed an innocent young girl as part of a GANG INITIATION,” he wrote.
- Loyola’s student newspaper issues apology over Sheridan Gorman story — for correctly calling alleged killer an ‘illegal immigrant.’ (NY Post)
- Pritzker blames Trump!
Panelist:
Ira Mehlman, Media Director: Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)
10:05
Segment Topic:
- There were two civil cases which went against Meta (social media) this week. One in New Mexico and the other in California. How do these cases and decisions differ?
- If these cases indicate that the American public is fed-up with social media, can we expect more of these damage cases and how many years of appeals for Meta lie ahead?
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/google-meta-liable/2026/03/25/id/1250745/
- The U.S. Government had a bad week when it had to pony up for damages to The Gateway Pundit and General Michael Flynn. How was the government punished when no one (from the government was punished for their crimes) and the taxpayer ends of paying the bill for these and future (similar) settlements?
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/michael-flynn-doj-russia-collusion-hoax/2026/03/25/id/1250804/
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/jim-hoft-gateway-pundit-esteemed-drs-win-missouri/
- How is the SCOTUS likely to rule on redistricting and birthright citizenship?
War and Morality: (Judge Andrew P. Napolitano)
-
- War is the most horrific series of events upon which any government can engage. It is systematic, industrialized, indiscriminate killing. It kills innocent adults and little girls. It often ruins the post-war lives of the killers. It is young men violently fighting old men’s power games. It is the health of the state.
- The war President Donald Trump is waging against the people and the government of Iran is immoral, unconstitutional and unlawful. Yet, because Congress is not doing its job, there appears to be no relief in sight until Trump finds a face-saving way to erase his grave mistake from the public’s long memory.
- An act of a person or a government is moral when it conforms to a universal set of principles designed to induce good over evil and justice over injustice. These
principles are discoverable by all unimpaired adults exercising reason. Adults should comply with them. Children often know them.
Panelist:
Judge Andrew Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Newsmax, Host: Judging Freedom Podcast Judge Napolitano’s latest opinion piece: “War and Morality.”
10:33
Segment Topic:
- DHS de-funding drags on!
- Dem-Coms pull back from an agreement with Senate Republicans.
- If Schumer is fearful of an AOC challenge to his senate seat, me has probably sealed his fate by forcing Americans to wait on long TSA lines at U.S. airports.
- 1n 1996, Schumer was in favor of government ID; and now, not so much!
- Senator Chris Murphy admitted what we already knew. The Dem-Coms care only to protect illegals and care nothing about the American citizens they threaten by their presence in our country.
- Did Pritzker actually blame President Trump for the murder of a Loyola college student by an illegal?
Panelist:
Kirsten Pels, RNC National Press Secretary
11:06
Segment Topic:
- Are we witnessing a war in the Middle East over an Islamic Regime or a war over the survival of Judaism Christianity?
- Are there distinctions between Muslims and Islamists or do you believe they are one and the same?
- Isik, when you learned of the details of what occurred on October 7th, how did that affect you personally? Did you know full well what Hamas would do to the women who were kidnapped?
- Do you believe that Muslims can live peacefully alongside Christians and Jews?
- If the remaining remnants of the Regime are destroyed by the U.S. and Israel, what is to stop Islam fundamentalism from re-rooting in Persia?
- If a Christian converts to Judaism or a Jew converts to Christianity, their lives are not (usually) in danger. Why do Muslims react so violently against those who turn away from the Koran?
- At the end of the day, do you believe this is a Holy war and do you both believe that the forces of Heaven are with us?
Panelist:
