Segment Topic:

  • Tom Rogers, the former head of CNBC compares ICE to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard:
  • From news propaganda to war propaganda – from the American media, subbing for the Iranian Regime media:
  • MS Now: “The Very Terrible?” What school of journalism did she graduate?
  • Appearing as a guest on Friday's Morning Joe on MS NOW, Tom Rogers -- the founder of CNBC -- compared ICE to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as he advised Democrats to cave in to Republicans and support funding DHS to avoid blame if there is a terrorist attack.
  • MS NOW's Jackie Alemany brought up an op-ed Rogers published at Newsweek.comas she set up the discussion:
  • And something that you wrote, Tom, that I think is a very prescient and pressing factor here is that by not funding Homeland Security and undermining the federal government's ability to do anything possible to protect against potential terror attacks is a really bad idea, and something that Democrats might potentially own in the very terrible, unfortunate case that that does happen during a time of war.
  • Tom Rogers wants hopes the war will secure the midterms for the Democrat Communists:
  • It could really take away all the political momentum on affordability, on immigration, on how unpopular this war is and turn it into something where there is support for Trump on the basis that he simply blames the Democrats for not allowing the Department of Homeland Security to have the resources to protect the country at a time of war.
  • CBS News' Margaret Brennan accused of mocking people of faith after Pete Hegseth's prayer remarks (Fox News/Brian Flood)

If you do a search under: “Margaret Brennan” you will find hundreds of examples of her bias against Republicans.  Zero examples for her hammering Dem-Com’s.

Segment Topic:

  • UK nuclear submarine deployed to Arabian Sea before Iran targets key US-UK base: reports
  • HMS Anson reportedly traveled 5,500 miles to the region as Iran launched two ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, neither of which reached its target. (Fox News)
  • Iran’s ballistic missiles traveled twice as far as our intel agencies had estimated. Is Trump vindicated, because those ballistic missiles could have carried a nuclear payload.
  • Is it possible that another country (a silent Iranian proxy fired that missile)?
  • Why is it so difficult for the U.S. to secure the Strait?
  • The Houthi’s are still lurking in the background; or are they?
  • Putin is sending oil tankers toward Cuba? Confrontation coming?
  • What do you make of reports of mysterious crones over a U.S. Air Force Base near D.C. which house our Secretary of War and our Secretary of State and perhaps the head of DHS?
  • You sent me a meme yesterday: “prophetic days” yesterday. Do you believe we are living those days now?  What did you think of Margaret Brennan (CBS News) posting criticism on “X” when Hegseth asked the nation to pray for our men and women fighting overseas?

  • How is Pritzker and Brandon Johnson polling?

Segment Topic:

The damage that “WOKE” has done to America!

  • Critical Social Justice or woke-ism is a relatively new phenomena that has dominated the recent culture wars since the antiracism movement intensified in the wake of BLM's hero and mascot, George Floyd's, death.
  • In this volume, internationally acclaimed cultural critics, social political theorists, psychologists, philosophers, behavioral scientists, and scholars of humanities examine contemporary issues in social critique that address a myriad of topics including:
    • Critical Race Theory (CRT)
    • Identity Politics
    • Decolonialism
    • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Movements
    • Whiteness Theory
    • Gender Critical Feminism
    • Transgenderism
    • Cancel Culture
    • Antizionism/Antisemitism
    • The Free Speech Debate
    • Political Authoritarianism
    • This is the first book of its kind to offer a scholarly critique of the social justice ideology that has saturated our modern times, stoked by polarization and societal division, fomenting discord, radical politics, censorship, and new forms of fascism.
  • WOKE will be of interest to cultural theorists, philosophers, political scientists, journalists, media studies, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, psychoanalysts, religious studies, popular culture, and those generally interested in the humanities and social sciences. Anyone concerned about the cultural vandalism of Critical Social Justice should read this book.
