Chief, why is it party of citizen (not only in NY) but in every other jurisdiction controlled by these people?

This gang member allegedly terrorized those in his own Bronx neighborhood; and yet, Mamdani was not interested in their public safety, only using this for his own; for their own political advantage.

Chief, wasn’t it interesting that the mobs who attacked the

Federal sources said it’s believed Belgal slipped into the US with a migrant caravan in 2022 without encountering border patrol.

By December 2023, he’d been arrested for the armed robbery a month prior, according to authorities and court records.

Belgal was driving with two people in the backseat along Morris Avenue, when he turned and pointed a gun at them while demanding “give me your jewelry or I will shoot you,” according to the criminal complaint.

The victims handed over jewelry and about $500 cash, and Belgal was later caught — but then released without bail pending trial, records showed. This is whom Mamdani referred to as a New Yorker?

His shooting sparked widespread outrage from lefty New York pols and anti-ICE protesters, who swarmed New York-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, where cops brought Belgal in the aftermath — before he was swept away by the feds in a car. How did this mob assemble and spring into action so quickly?

And now those behind Belgal being here in the first place, what the Commissioner to resign. Why do they want Jessica Tish’s head?

A new book by Samuel Gregg (released today) takes aim at the DSA (among others), and how free market…

Why does the DSA appear to be winning the debate on free market capitalism? Are they feeding off the public’s anger?

In Michigan, (your home state), Abdul El Sayed is a DSA candidate, where free market capitalism built the auto industry. Why would UAW and other union members in Michigan vote for socialism in a place where it has provided so much, for so many?

What is contained within the DSA platform?

Labor Rights: Mandates a 32-hour work week, living wages, and stronger labor unions.

Universal Public Services: Guarantees universal healthcare (Medicare for All), universal housing, universal child care, and tuition-free public college.

They promise “PERMANENT AFFORDABILITY,” how is that possible.

Debt and Taxation: Calls for the cancellation of student debt and higher taxes on the wealthy.

Public Ownership: Advocates for public ownership or control of major industries and essential services.

Climate and Foreign Policy: Pushes for a Green New Deal, an end to U.S. wars and military aid to Israel, and the defunding of the Pentagon.

The DSA says you will have “no debt” and a “publicly funded retirement” after they tear down the “entire global system of capital.” That means you will die as a ward of the state without a penny to your name. When the DSA calls for abolishing the police and prison system — and it really does call for that — the goal would ultimately be to use it as a temporary measure to accelerate the revolution.

Trump Russia hoax, a CIA op? Not the first time the CIA has been accused of an American Coop’.

Has the Russia Hoax done permanent damage to America’s political system? (Jeffrey Lord)

If you stopped ten, ordinary people on the street and asked them if Trump colluded with Russia, I believe at least half would respond; yes!

Jeffrey, I believe that the failure to indict anyone involved in the scandal has done more damage than the actual hoax. Do you agree?

You mentioned the media’s role in the Russia hoax, however, the ABC hit job on Donald Jr. and Eric Trump shows us that they have no intention of mending their ways.

Jeffrey, the Talarico disappearance reminded me immediately of Tom Eagleton – 1972. What do you remember?

I personally felt bad for Eagleton, however; back in 1972, any mention of shock therapy treatments freaked most people out. Today, shock therapy is back in use and it has been found to be a successful treatment.

In Talarico’s case, covering up a mental health breakdown during the campaign, might be as damaging as trying to conceal one from the past; correct?

In Eagleton’s case, he was eventually forced off the ticket and replaced by Sergeant Shriver. What would happen if the rumors turned out to be true – prior to November 3rd?

Jeffrey, do you see a BLUE-WAVE coming on November 3rd? Do you believe that President Trump’s campaigning will show positive results?

From a political standpoint, what was your reaction to the raid on MN Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar’s DC home yesterday?

Todd, why do all the polling we see always show the Republican behind?

Do you believe that President Trump’s campaigning will move the needle for Republicans in November?

Do you believe that the possibility of communist control over Capitol Hill will increase turnout?

Your new book is very encouraging about America’s future; abut America’s golden age. What occurs on November 3rd will tell us if the Golden Age survives for future generations of Americans, or will we be sentenced to live under communism in America?

If the Dem-Coms have sized upon the affordability issue, how do they explain that they are the ones who brought us high inflation; and now they want the keys (once again) to the nation.

Todd, what do you make of the hit job against Donald Jr. and Eric Trump by ABC News; less than month before the November midterms? Isn’t this this same MO of these same media types, concealing the Hunter Biden laptop in October, 2020 from voters?

Republicans have the antidote to disastrous DSA healthcare policies!

With Election Day looming, the DSA is touting Medicare for All which would DESTROY our health care system by rationing care while driving up costs. The White House estimates it would cost 47 trillion dollars over the next 10 years. Medical productivity would fall by 22%. America’s seniors would be left behind, thanks to these radical socialists.

What Republicans need to do on the campaign trail is talk about policies that can deliver real results, and healthcare policy expert Charles Sauer, president of the Market Institute, can speak about a huge one–reducing hospital consolidation.

Currently, Medicare’s reimbursement rates favor hospitals over independent doctors, and that payment difference encourages hospitals to consolidate healthcare markets, driving up prices for American patients.

How do you make reimbursement rates “site-neutral” or equal across care settings, will lower costs for patients?

How do Republicans can prioritize enacting site-neutrality following the midterms, with bills like the Same Care, Lower Cost Act.

11:33·Charles Sauer: President of the Market Institute Charles has a recent op-ed in InsideSources on the damage Medicare for all would do and Republican ideas to counter it.·Market Institute·InsideSources

The usual suspects—corporate greed, inflation, globalization, overregulation—each sound convincing until you follow the money and discover they don't quite fit.
  • So, Law follows something else instead. A pattern. The same strange shape, surfacing again and again, in industries that have nothing to do with one another.

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

  • The letter blamed Trump and U.S. support for Israel for the conflict while accusing the president of misleading Americans about Iran’s nuclear program and the economic consequences of the war.
  • “The US economy is on the precipice of collapse, and yet he keeps on telling Americans that the economy is booming and the prices will soon start coming down,” the letter said.
  • The message comes as Iran faces mounting economic pressure of its own, with the rial falling Tuesday to a record low of more than 2.5 million to the U.S. dollar.
  • One thing is certain, this letter from the death-cult IRGC will drive Dem-Com and DSA voters to the polls. Why? Because they blame the despised United States and the hated Israel!

  • Are mass-deportations dead? It appears there is something going on inside the Administration. Does it have anything to do with avoiding any ICE-related incidents prior to the Midterms?
  • Reported guidance directing some ICE offices to pull back on arrests of illegal immigrants without criminal histories triggered backlash from policy hawks, raising questions whether the Trump administration is sending conflicting signals on enforcement.
  • The guidance was rescinded within hours, and Trump told Fox News there had been no change in an enforcement posture that prioritizes — but is not limited to — the "worst first." The verbal guidance had been relayed to ICE field offices around the country, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter, though it remains unclear who initially issued the instruction.

  • The Plot to Change America exposes the myths that help identity politics perpetuate itself. This book will reveal what really has happened, explain why it is urgent to change course, and offer a strategy to do so.
  • Though we should not fool ourselves into thinking it will be easy to eliminate identity politics, we should not overthink it, either. Identity politics relies on the creation of groups, and then on giving people incentives to adhere to them. If we eliminate group-making and the enticements, we can get rid of identity politics.
  • The first myth that this book will expose is that identity politics is a grassroots movement, when from the beginning it has been, and continues to be, an elite project.
  • For too long, we have lived with the fairytale that America has organically grown into a nation gripped by victimhood and identarian division; that it is all the result of legitimate demands by minorities for recognition or restitutions for past wrongs.
  • The second myth is that identity politics is a response to the demographic change this country has undergone since immigration laws were radically changed in 1965. Another myth that we are told is that to fight these changes is as depraved as it is futile, since by 2040, America will be a minority-majority country anyway. This book will help to explain that none of these things are true.
  • Mike, you are a former journalist, what culpability does the media have in the plot to change America?
  • The media has been the fermenter of identity politics, hasn’t it?

Wednesday, September 23, 2026 · 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET

9:00 · Remember the Alamo: Don’t Sharia My Texas: Chris Burgard on Sharia and Texas

Filmmaker Chris Burgard joins Jake to discuss his documentary Remember the Alamo: Don’t Sharia My Texas, which connects the 1836 stand at the Alamo with what the film presents as the incremental advance of Sharia law in Texas today. The film features retired generals, combat veterans, investigative journalists, counterterrorism experts, and pastors.

  • Are most Americans overlooking the growing Islamic presence in the country and what it means for the nation?
  • Muslims have lived in America for generations. What has changed that Burgard sees as a threat to our way of life and our system of laws?
  • Is this mass migration, or the carefully planned start of a jihad against America?
  • Voices in Europe and the UK have warned America for at least 30 years not to repeat their experience. Were those warnings ignored?
  • After 9/11, many expected limits on mass migration from the Middle East. Burgard argues the opposite has happened.
  • Islamists, as distinct from Muslims broadly, gaining ground: churches converted to mosques, amplified public calls to prayer, and candidates now winning real power in Washington.
  • The latest on East Plano.
  • The 132 minute documentary is streaming online for $19.99. Find a screening near you at RememberTheAlamoMovie.com.

9:35 · Russia’s Next Move: Zelenskyy’s Warning, Poland Under the Sirens, and Greenland

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns that Russia could attack other European countries, while Poland lives with near daily air raid alerts. Dr. James S. Robbins weighs where Putin goes next and what the new Greenland agreement means.

  • Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Fox News Digital the risk of a new Russian offensive against other European countries is “very high,” as Moscow works to fracture European unity and weaken support for Ukraine.
  • Poland faces near daily air raid warnings from Russian drone incursions. Deputy Prime Minister Radosław Sikorski, in New York for the UN General Assembly, called the war next door an existential threat to his country: “Historically, every time Russia conquered Ukraine, we were next.”
  • Where is NATO?
  • How important is the agreement signed with Denmark and Greenland to open two new U.S. military sites on Greenland?
  • For every action there is a reaction. How will Russia and China, both with long running Arctic ambitions, respond?
  • Dr. Robbins’ reaction to President Trump’s address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. Was it the most forceful speech from that podium since Khrushchev?

10:00 · The Greenland Deal, NATO’s Eastern Flank, and Germany’s Political Turn

After months of back and forth, President Trump got his Greenland deal on Tuesday. Dr. John Marshall Callahan looks at why Denmark said yes and what comes next from Moscow, Beijing, Ottawa, and Berlin.

  • Did Denmark agree because of the growing threat of Russian aggression in Europe?
  • Did the attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport, which Germany has since blamed on Russia, change Danish thinking about a U.S. deal on Greenland?
  • How will Russia and China, both with long running Arctic ambitions, respond?
  • What does the Greenland deal mean for Canada? Will Beijing press Prime Minister Mark Carney for a foothold in Canada to counter it?
  • Poland remains under constant threat from Russia. Why has NATO not created a no fly zone over Poland to stop drone incursions?
  • The political situation in Germany: is Chancellor Friedrich Merz in danger of losing power, and how much ground has the AfD gained?

10:30 · How Hamas Shapes What You See from Gaza, and Macron’s Translation Problem

A celebrated Gaza photojournalist says he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten by a crowd on Oct. 7 and never published it. Rabbi Michael Barclay, host of The Rabbi’s Table: Dialogue Not Debate, on what that says about the coverage the world has relied on.

  • UNRWA, the UN agency created in 1949 to provide relief, education, health care, and social services to registered Palestinian refugees, has seen its U.S. fundraising arm, UNRWA USA, publicly pay tribute to photographer Motaz Azaiza’s storytelling.
  • Azaiza, a Time100 honoree and Nobel Peace Prize nominee who has met with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, told the Taqarrab podcast he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten by a Palestinian crowd on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas paraded captives through Gaza. “But I did not publish those videos,” he said.
  • He also described a WhatsApp group of Gaza journalists overseen by a Hamas media official, which he said was used to target reporters who published criticism of Hamas.
  • Azaiza has since disputed how his remarks were characterized, saying the group was a channel for Hamas government updates and denying that Hamas directed journalists’ work.
  • For years, Western audiences received Gaza coverage produced inside red lines set by Hamas, and claims out of the enclave were often repeated without scrutiny, fueling campus protests.
  • Since its violent takeover of Gaza in 2007, Hamas has worked to control the story that reaches the outside world and to legitimize violence against Israel as “resistance.”
  • Macron’s translation problem: A French diplomatic source told The Jerusalem Post that Emmanuel Macron’s remarks on Hamas and the West Bank at the UN General Assembly were mistranslated. The English rendering had Hamas “never particularly active” there; the source said the French meant Hamas “has never governed the West Bank.” The clarification followed criticism from several Israeli officials.
  • Lost in translation, or playing to France’s large Muslim population back home?

11:00 · The Obamacare Fraud Purge and Medicaid Drug Pricing

The administration canceled hundreds of thousands of Affordable Care Act enrollments last month, and every state has now applied to a new Medicaid model that ties drug prices to what other countries pay. Dr. Jason Sorens on whether taxpayers come out ahead.

  • The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says it canceled roughly 315,000 ACA marketplace enrollments covering about 760,000 people last month, citing fraud and improper enrollments.
  • Roughly 419,000 more people are being checked to confirm they are legal U.S. residents who meet the income requirements for ACA benefits.
  • Vice President JD Vance’s White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud led the cancellations and estimates about $2.2 billion in savings on taxpayer funded subsidies.
  • Are fraud investigations into government funded health care making a difference for taxpayers?
  • All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico have applied to join the CMS GENEROUS model, which brings most favored nation pricing on certain prescription drugs to Medicaid. Forty states and Puerto Rico have already signed agreements. CMS estimates $64.3 billion in taxpayer savings over ten years.
  • Participating manufacturers make covered outpatient drugs available at most favored nation prices. States invoice manufacturers for supplemental rebates, CMS monitors pricing accuracy, and CMS shares in the rebates through a reduced federal share of Medicaid payments.
  • CMS Innovation Center Director Abe Sutton called the model a significant milestone that frees state money for education, infrastructure, and other priorities. Remaining states have until Sept. 30, 2026, to sign. The model launched in January 2026 and runs for five years.

11:30 · The Education Freedom Report Card: Which States Lead and Which Trail

Is communism finding roots in our education system? Heritage’s latest Education Freedom Report Card shows which states are expanding choice and which are falling behind. Jonathan Butcher on where school choice stands.

  • Heritage’s Education Freedom Report Card grades states on active education choice programs, academic transparency, teacher freedom, return on education spending, and civics education.
  • Florida placed first overall, followed by Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, and Iowa.
  • Louisiana, sixth overall, topped the civics category, in part by requiring a full year civics course and a civics or citizenship test to graduate.
  • Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, and Rhode Island rounded out the bottom, with Maine in last place again.
  • As the administration winds down the U.S. Department of Education, states like Florida and Iowa are reclaiming education responsibilities, as the Founders intended, and giving families more choice.
  • More states should offer K through 12 education savings accounts so families can choose learning environments that fit their values and their children.
  • A renewed focus on civics and rich content across math, reading, science, and other core subjects.
  • How is America doing on school choice, and what roadblocks remain?

  • An ICE officer shot a man in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, prompting a crowd of angry demonstrators to gather near the scene, hurl obscenities and clash with authorities.
  • Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sources confirmed to Fox News that the man shot by the ICE officer is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela with a final order of removal.
  • The agency said the man "illegally entered the country under the Biden administration and had a final order of removal during a law enforcement operation" in Austin, Texas Sunday.
  • ‘Unprecedented’: Judges reveal behind-the-scenes coordination on Trump immigration cases
  • What judges shared behind the scenes remains unclear as Trump DOJ raises recusal concerns over their public comments. Isn’t this collusion?
  • Federal judges in Minnesota tasked with deciding a flood of habeas petitions challenging the detention of immigrants swept up during President Donald Trump's Operation Metro Surge weren't working entirely on their own — behind the scenes, they were regularly consulting one another through running email threads and developing tools to quickly handle recurring legal questions.
  • The behind-the-scenes coordination among Minnesota's federal bench, revealed in a New York Times report Thursday, included regular meetings, running email threads, an informal spreadsheet created by court clerks showing which judges to turn to with particular legal questions and templates some judges developed to quickly issue orders when similar detention disputes repeatedly came before the court.
  • The disclosures are fueling questions over whether the judges were colluding on separate cases involving the same Trump administration immigration policies, or simply sharing expertise to manage an extraordinary caseload.

  • The Islamification of America:
  • Case in point: Warren Michigan
  • Wars in the 1990s and 2000s led to a boom of Middle Eastern migrations, as America took in a growing Muslim refugee and immigrant population.
  • Long-standing chain migration policies allowed family members to follow their relatives to the United States, and foreign immigrant visas have exploded in recent years.
  • This, Tye said, has been the story of Warren. But his town’s plight is overshadowed in the media by nearby Dearborn, a now Muslim-majority city that has garnered national and international attention.
  • Within a seven-mile radius of his neighborhood, there are now five mosques. Fox News Digital toured the area while Tye pointed them out.
  • An old industrial machinery business is now a mosque, as is a former Baptist church.

YNTA Sept 18, 2026: immigrant crime blackout, Iran/Strait of Hormuz standoff, CCP marijuana empire in California

Today’s Guests

Eric Scheiner, Senior Director of MRC Video, joins Jake for back to back segments this morning. Scheiner has more than two decades in broadcasting, documentary production, and video journalism, getting his start covering politics and government spending in the First in the Nation primary state of New Hampshire before joining the Media Research Center in the Washington, D.C. area. Read more about Eric Scheiner.

9:00 · Show Open: The Media’s Immigration Crime Blackout

Jake opens the show with a hard look at how the broadcast networks are handling a wave of violent crime tied to illegal immigration. In just the three weeks between August 25 and September 17, seven new cases (most involving people who entered the country illegally during the Biden and Obama administrations) made headlines, including an illegal immigrant DoorDash driver accused of killing a Sacramento woman he stalked for a year, a driver accused of killing a baby in a stroller in a New Jersey parking lot, a crash into a New Jersey mayor’s wife’s car after fleeing ICE agents, a strangulation in Massachusetts, a coworker stabbed to death in Virginia, an arrest of three men in a Virginia child exploitation ring who were released on bond, and fentanyl dealing tied to overdoses at a Virginia high school.

A NewsBusters analysis found the major broadcast networks have largely stayed silent on the pattern.

9:20 · The Holdout Juror Media Backlash

Since the Lindsay Clancy murder trial ended in a mistrial, ABC, CBS, and NBC have given Clancy largely favorable coverage on their flagship morning and evening newscasts, according to a new NewsBusters analysis, while the single holdout juror who believed Clancy was guilty has drawn unusually hostile treatment. Since September 8, the study found the broadcast networks have been roughly four times more critical of the juror than of Clancy herself, with Clancy receiving about 64.6 percent positive coverage across the three networks compared to 94.7 percent negative coverage for the juror. Across 19 segments on the trial, not even two thirds (12 out of 19, or 63 percent) clearly explained why Clancy was on trial in the first place, and CBS was reportedly the only network not to air NBC10’s hit piece on the holdout juror.

9:35 · The Fed, Rate Hikes, and a Nervous Market

Markets rebounded as oil prices cooled, but Jake wants to know why an otherwise strong jobs report rattled investors last month. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by a quarter point this week, and President Trump has said the rate should be closer to 1 percent. U.S. retail sales rose 1.2 percent in August, rebounding sharply from a dip in July and adding to a string of hot economic data that, according to the Wall Street Journal, supports the case that the economy is strong enough to absorb higher rates. So why raise rates at all if the goal is to cool things down, and why is there so much recession talk heading into the midterms?

Read the Wall Street Journal report · More WSJ coverage on interest rates

Jake also asks what a Republican setback in the midterms could mean for the economy’s momentum, and what the fight over artificial intelligence could mean for tech stocks and future investment.

10:00 · Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and a New U.S. Base in Poland

Colonel Gaub joins Jake to break down a wave of developments in the Middle East and Europe. CNN reported on the harrowing account of a U.S. Air Force pilot shot down over Iran and later rescued, and Jake wants Gaub’s read on the Houthi threat to shipping and whether the war could spread to the Suez Canal.

Read the CNN report

An oil tanker reportedly exploded and caught fire after colliding with mines in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran’s IRGC, as relayed by the Fars news agency. The vessel, identified as the El Gaia and flying under a Panamanian flag, was reportedly involved in an incident U.S. Central Command has denied. Is this Iranian propaganda, given the U.S. Navy’s earlier mine clearing operation in the strait? Jake also asks about reports that Saudi Arabia is seeking talks with the Houthis.

Read the Jerusalem Post report

New satellite imagery shows Iran has added defenses around tunnel entrances at Pickaxe Mountain, the nuclear linked site President Trump has repeatedly threatened to strike, as Russia and China vetoed a U.S. drafted Security Council resolution on Iran sanctions monitoring. The Institute for Science and International Security reports that imagery from September 11 shows earthen roadblocks still in place near the Natanz complex’s western tunnel portals, along with fresh soil added over tunnel entrances, reinforcing an assessment that the site is not currently in normal operation but that valuable equipment remains inside.

Bestselling author A.J. Rice is back with his signature unfiltered, satirical style in a new book that takes aim at what Rice argues is an organized cultural and institutional push behind so called “woke” gender ideology, from boardrooms to classrooms. Rice frames it as the conclusion of a trilogy he began with earlier bestsellers skewering cancel culture and identity politics. Jake also brings up a recent New York Post story questioning claims about trans teen suicide, and asks Rice whether the debate has become less about protecting children and more about silencing parents who push back.

Investigative reporter Haley Strack joins Jake to discuss her reporting out of Siskiyou County, California, one of the most scenic corners of the state, sitting beneath Mount Shasta and surrounded by more than a million acres of farmland and forest. In recent years, Chinese nationals, some with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, have built a massive illegal cannabis operation there, according to Strack’s reporting, generating billions of dollars a year while terrorizing the rural community with shootings, gang violence, and trafficking.

Read the KRCR report on labor trafficking

Jake asks whether this operation is replacing fentanyl trafficking as border security tightens, and whether there are similarities to the CCP linked biolab discovered in California back in 2023. Strack’s reporting states that county authorities have seized large quantities of toxic, unregulated, and banned pesticides from Siskiyou pot farms, and that an expert told her the operations appear designed to poison Americans, with the Chinese Communist Party poised to benefit from the chaos. Jake also asks why California, and whether growers have attempted to bribe local officials.

11:20 · The Clancy Verdict and a National Debate

Lindsay Clancy admitted to killing her three children, so why, Jake asks, is she being treated by much of the public like a victim? Dr. Edward E. Bartlett says the reaction exposes a disturbing double standard, with activists transforming an admitted child killer into the story’s central victim while her three children become an afterthought. Clancy’s defense argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, though according to Associated Press coverage of the trial, the psychiatric nurse practitioner and psychiatrist who treated her testified they had not observed psychosis before the killings.

Read the AP trial coverage

After the jury deadlocked, two female jurors publicly criticized the male holdout, and NBC10 Boston subsequently reported the dissenting juror was a Black man.

Dr. Bartlett argues the controversy raises questions that go well beyond this trial: has ideology distorted how society understands women, violence, personal responsibility, and who gets called a victim? Jake and Bartlett dig into gender stereotypes in how the public views female defendants and male victims, and whether compassion for a defendant should ever be allowed to erase compassion for the innocent.

Guest: Edward E. Bartlett, PhD, President of DAVIA, the Domestic Abuse and Violence International Alliance

11:30 · Angela Stanton King on Criminal Justice Reform

After a 2004 federal conspiracy conviction tied to a car theft ring, Angela Stanton King served two years in prison, giving birth to her daughter while incarcerated. In February 2020, President Trump granted her a full, unconditional pardon, citing her work as an advocate for rehabilitation and redemption. Her own experience being restrained during childbirth behind bars helped push the conversation around ending the shackling of incarcerated pregnant women, and she went on to found Auntie Angie’s House to support pregnant women impacted by the justice system.

Jake asks Stanton King whether her advocacy is facing more resistance now, as Americans grow frustrated with repeat offenders and turnstile justice, and whether calls for reform now get redirected toward judicial reform instead. He also invites her to share her story for listeners hearing it for the first time.

Guest: Angela Stanton King, author, criminal justice reform advocate, maternal health advocate, and founder of Auntie Angie’s House and the American King Foundation. Read more about Auntie Angie’s House
