JEFFRIES: “House Democrats are going to continue to put people over politics, fight for lower costs, better paying jobs, and safer communities and to draw a clear contrast with extreme MAGA Republicans who are out of control, don’t believe in reproductive freedom, don’t believe in Social Security, don’t believe in many cases in democracy. We have a vision for the future to continue to be there for every day Americans, and they continue to put politics over patriotism, to give us nothing but talking points and platitudes, devoid of any substance, any vision, any agenda for the American people.”

On This Episode: - Amazon says no to mail-in ballots for the employee's union vote. Why? Because Jeff Bezos, Owner of Amazon and Washington Post, questions the integrity of mail-in voting. - Antifa is violence. They marched in the streets after Biden was sworn in demanding revenge. Antifa was never about Trump. - Russia is arresting opposition protestors. - Joe Biden's first round of Executive Orders show a vicious hatred of young female athletes across the country. - Sarah Huckabee Sanders is running for Governor in Arkansas. - Coffee infused Coca-Cola and whiskey infused Kit Kats. - A New York Times journalist attempts to paint a picture of a middle-America that refuses to wear masks. - Chinese fighter jets are flying into Taiwanese air space. US aircraft carriers are making their way into the South China Sea. The Big Story: Biden cancelling the Keystone Pipeline XL is a slap in the face to Midwest America. There are no friends of the midwest in Biden’s Administration. The Administration says they are going to try to create "well-paying" union jobs for everyone they just put out of work. I am sure everyone who is now unemployed will appreciate the attempt.

There's an expression in Indiana, and in other places as well: So Goes The RV Business, So Goes The Economy. OK, I might be paraphrasing a bit, but the sentiment is very real. When the RV business is good, the economy is usually solid. When the RV business is bad, it's bad for everyone. In Goshen, IN, one RV manufacturer just announced it is laying off 300 people. That is the biggest indicator yet that a recession is around the corner...if not already here. Presented by Americans For Prosperity. http://americansforprosperity.org

Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson is asking the key question on the latest indictment of President Donald Trump - What is the crime? This isn't a conversation about whether you like what Trump did on January 6th, 2021. This isn't about whether you want to punish Trump for what happened on January 6th. This is about the law. Jacobson breaks down what the case the DOJ is making, and whether the indictment stands up to scrutiny...never mind whether a jury will buy the government's case.

This week has been a monster for news: An almost coup in Russia. The Trump audio leaked with him discussing classified documents. The Supreme Court is going to unleash a barrage of decisions. But nothing compares to the clearer and clearer evidence that President Biden KNEW about his son Hunter's business dealings, and that AG Merrick Garland had the Department of Justice impede the investigation. Don't get it twisted, these other stories do matter and deserve discussion. But, when ranked, the idea that the current President of the United States may have been involved in pay for play, and the current Attorney General helped thwart an investigation into him? That's the top story. Period. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Anyone who trust's China is out of their mind. As history has shown repeatedly, all Communists regimes lie. It's how they keep power, and how they keep control of their citizens. China's economy is in awful shape. Their rabid Covid lockdowns, plus a global recession, has meant real hardship on every level. But, true to Communist form, they are lying to everyone to try and save face; including no longer reporting certain numbers in order avoid hard conversations with investors around the globe. Then again, investors around the globe should know better than to trust the CCP. But the global damage being done is very real, and very serious. Dr. Matt Will, economist at the University of Indianapolis, explains how the global recession - mixed with China's clear lying - is having impact on Midwest America and beyond.

Hamas has called for a "Day of Resistance" across the globe on Friday, October 13th. Should you be concerned about violence in your neighborhood? You city? Should you fight back? What is the right response to such a widespread call for violence? Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

ALEXANDER: “The president earlier today said that — he was asked, ‘Does the border wall work?’ He said, ‘No.’ But in the statement that was posted within the last 24 hours, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary says, ‘There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States.’ So, who’s right: the statement from the DHS Secretary overnight or the President’s comments today saying they don’t work?” Jean-Pierre: “So, a couple of things. Yes, it showed up on the register today. But the announcement — this is not new. This is from six months ago.” ALEXANDER: “Well, it is new, because the waiving of the laws actually didn’t happen until overnight.” Jean-Pierre: But it was — this is something that was out back — that the DHS was — put out back in — in — in — six months ago.” ALEXANDER: “So, wait, wait. So, they waived the —“ Jean-Pierre: “So — and now — they announced — no —“ ALEXANDER: “Did they waive the laws six months ago?” Jean-Pierre: “Well, what I’m saying is DHS announced this back in — in June, that the agency would do so. They actually said that they would do that back — in DHS –” ALEXANDER: “But — so, they moved forward with it today — but the initial announcement was six months ago — by waiving the law. So, that’s what’s new today. Understood.” Jean-Pierre: “Yes —“ ALEXANDER: “So, this statement, when he says ‘presently’ was filed —“ Jean-Pierre: “ — just want to make sure we’re clear on that.” ALEXANDER: “— so, when he said there is ‘presently,’ are you saying, when he says there is ‘presently,’ he was referring to six months ago or referring to the date of which it was filed — 10/4?” Jean-Pierre: “What I can tell you is DHS announced this back in June, that they were going to move forward with this. That’s what I can share with you. That’s what I — I know is to be true and is to be fact. Look, I can speak for the President. The President said — he was asked directly — he doesn’t believe a border wall is effective.” ALEXANDER: “Does he have a disagreement with his Department of Homeland Security Secretary?” Jean-Pierre: “I — I — what I can tell you is what the President — I — I’m going to tell you what the President said and what your colleague asked him. He said no, he doesn’t believe that the border wall —“ ALEXANDER: “I ask because he’s speaking —“ Jean-Pierre: “— is effective.” ALEXANDER: “— in direct contradiction to what his own Homeland Security —“ Jean-Pierre: “No, I hear you.” ALEXANDER: “ — Secretary says.” Jean-Pierre: “I hear you. I’m speaking for the president. I’m saying that he has said that he does not believe a border wall is effective. That’s what he was asked. He has said that for some time now, and it still remains to be the case. He asked — right? — he asked Congress multiple times, his team has asked Congress to reappropriate the funds. They refuse to do that. We’re going to comply by law.” ALEXANDER: “Will you ask the president on our behalf, then, in the absence of our ability to do that, whether he disagrees with the statement that there is ‘presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers’?” Jean-Pierre: “I’m happy to take that back.” ALEXANDER: “Thank you.” Jean-Pierre: “I’m happy to take that back."

A man made an internet video to thank Tim Pool for showing him that he has made the right choice in voting for President Trump- it turned his life around. He talks about how the silent majority is for Trump. The Silent Majority isn't staying silent anymore.

What could be the most consequential story of the week, Glenn Greenwald, co-founder of The Intercept, resigned from his own publication over censorship from his editors. All criticism of Joe Biden was removed from Greenwald's work. "The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded, culminating in censorship of my own articles." The illiberalism in the modern media is obvious and blatant. We should notice it and we should root it out.

If you don't agree with Fox News host Tucker Carlson's take on January 6th, that's ok. People disagree all the time. And you can say so. You say he's wrong, you can say he's "misinformed;" hell, you can even call him a liar. Those are three phrases that many have used when discussing Whoopi, Joy and the rest of the progressive talkers. But if you think he should be arrested for speaking? Well, that's different. That's The View not knowing anything about the First Amendment. But don't let facts keep them from engaging in a very dangerous conversation of their own.

Target and Kohl's have continued to push gender ideology on children, offering kids clothes with slogans and iconography that are questionable. And, in the case of Target, offering swimsuits to children that allow for "tucking." Boycotts are happening. But these companies do not seem bothered or worried. Why is that? The answer to most things is "follow the money." And it could be that ESG is making sure these companies make plenty of cash. If the investor is spending, maybe the customer doesn't matter anymore. Tony Katz takes a look at why Target and Kohl's are acting this way. Presented by Americans For Prosperity. http://americansforprosperity.org

Bourbon and whiskey have been outrageously popular in the US over the past decade. And while Covid impact a lot of businesses negatively, for the world of spirits, Covid has meant massive sales and a real strain on the bourbon and whiskey world. What do the coming years look like for the industry? David Fleming, Executive Editor of WhiskyAdvocate, has the story. Join David along with Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy at WhiskyFest in Chicago on May 12th in Chicago! https://whiskyadvocate.com/whiskyfest/WhiskyFest-Chicago Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has shown America that he is about ideology before the citizens. The application of AB 5 in California made it harder for citizens to make a living. Worse, it made it near impossible for these American citizens to engage their rights under the US Constitution. Now, Democrats want to bring AB 5 to America with "The Pro Act." Casey Mattox, VP for Legal and Judicial Strategy at AFP, explains why AB 5 and the Pro Act are unAmerican and wholly unnecessary.

Someone steals and you, the law abiding citizen, pays the victim for their loss of property. - Dr Fauci's priority is narrative, not data. The Big Story: Who fact-checks the fact-checkers? Candace Owens posted on Facebook that Joe Biden is not the President-Elect until the Electoral College votes. Facebook censored the post because Politifact deemed it false. So Candace Owens got some lawyers. Politifact approved her appeal and removed the false rating. Do we have to get lawyers involved to make sure we have our 1st Amendment rights?

MAYORKAS: “Our administration has pursued a comprehensive strategy to manage this unprecedented migration. Our strategy includes expanded lawful pathways for migration, strengthened consequences for unlawful entry at the border, removing a record number of individuals found to be ineligible for protection under the law, and increased partnership across the region to curb irregular migration.” HYDE-Smith: “So, the — the situation at the border, you’re saying, is not a disaster?” MAYORKAS: “That is correct” >> KENNEDY: Now, in 2023, this is senator hoven’s chart, how many — what percentage of the illegal immigrants who came across the southern border were not from Mexico? Do you know? >> MAYORKAS: Senator I know third country nationals has been on the increase. >> KENNEDY: What percentage — you don’t know, do you? It is 71%! Are people who are not from Mexico. So if we had a safe third country policy, that means that 71% of the 8.4 million people that you have allowed to come into our country illegally, let me be conservative and use 6.6 million, because they — the 8.4 includes got a ways. 71% of the 6.6 million people that you have allowed into our country illegally would not be hurt in a way. They could claim asylum from political, religious or racial persecution but they would have to do it in another country and more than likely Mexico. Is that not the case? >> MAYORKAS: Senator that is inaccurate and incomplete. >> KENNEDY: Did you not say when we last spoke and we propose that, is on it was a bad policy. >> MAYORKAS: Senator let me share a prerequisite to a safe third country agreement and that is >> KENNEDY: No, I am almost out of time and I’m not can I let you filibuster. >> MAYORKAS: Senator I have to say. >> KENNEDY: I am just not going to let you do it. It is my time madam chair and I will use it the way I want. Here is where you let others go on. I think you are a smart guy. Only one or two things going on here. Either you are not qualified to manage the Costco food court or you believe in open borders. And I think it's the latter. >> Senator Kennedy, your time has expired. >> Number one you are 0 for 2 on that. You are inaccurate in both respects number one and I would like to let the record reflect that 60 minutes is not 45 minutes because I can’t seem to answer a question without being interrupted. >> KENNEDY: Well if you would answer a question — >> Thank you very much, Madame chair. I appreciate the recognition.

The Biden Economy is not living up to the hype. Unless, the hype is a hot mess. Then, yes....yes it is living up to expectations. While many will hype the jobs report, Dr. Matt Will is looking at the latest manufacturing numbers. And that report tells us the recession is here.

Former President Donald Trump is the first non-incumbent in GOP history to win both Iowa and New Hampshire. That's pretty amazing. What is also amazing is that Trump spent so much of his victory speech attacking former Amb. Nikki Haley. Haley lost by double digits. But Haley also out-performed the polling. And beating expectations, in politics, is everything. A deep dive shows that there were crossovers; Democrats who registered as Republicans to vote for Haley in the primary. Trump supporters declare this proves her lack of GOP enthusiasm. But doesn't this also mean that Haley could have the crossover appeal in a general? And doesn't the GOP want to win the general? Haley's path is tough...near impossible. But she doesn't show signs of leaving the trail yet. PLUS: Joe Biden's lack of leadership has made the Middle East even more dangerous for the U.S. and the world. Noah Rothman of National Review has more on this remarkable failure in policy. AND: Let's be clear....Dr. Anthony Fauci is guilty. He lied, he covered up and he believes that he knows best. And now his buddy from the WHO - Dr Tedros! - wants us all to have digital medical records that can determine our coming and going. Subscribe on Rumble and YouTube! Find everything at tonykatz.com

The drone strike that killed three U.S. Service members was just another attack in the continued war with Iran. Yes, between Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, Iran is at war with the United States. Sadly, the Biden Administration doesn't understand this reality. Biden has promised a response, but who knows when that will happen...or how. On the Right, there are plenty who are demanding a swift and forceful response in Tehran. Then there is the Tucker Carlson, who see this as war mongering and feel no need to respond. That side asks, "What are we doing there to being with?" ALSO, a border deal is in the offing, but the GOP is already balking. While the details are not yet out, they are not wrong to assume what they've heard is true: This bill doesn't go nearly far enough to deal with the border issues. And what is President Biden talking about? Pass the bill and I will shut down the border? He can do that right now!

For most Americans, the GOP field of presidential candidates will come down to President Trump or Gov. Ron DeSantis. For large swaths of the political right, everyone else running in 2024 is looking to be VP, or get a cabinet position. But even with Trump/DeSantis looming, contenders are still joining the race. Most recently, former VP Mike Pence, former NJ Governor Chris Christie and current North Dakota Governor David Burgum. Wait. Who? Why are they running? Well, it's complicated....but not really. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

The Biden Administration is talking tough about protecting the border. Of course, they're only talking tough because it's an election year. And they're only talking tough because the border is a disaster; politically, economically and on a humanitarian level. For three years, the GOP - and America! - have been asking, talking, begging and screaming for something more to be done. In those years, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has failed to move on existing policies, toed the Biden Administration party line and has presided over the largest numbers of illegal immigration ever...if not near ever. The GOP now moves to impeach the Secretary. ALSO: The Biden Administration has yet to respond to the killing of three U.S. soldiers by Iran. Meanwhile, the administration tries to claim that they've been tough with Iran and getting results. However, the facts don't back up the claim. And "Don't" is not a policy. PLUS: Taylor Swift is not a psy-op. Neither is Travis Kelce. The response to them - and their coverage- is a great example of how to ensure you lose the culture and future elections.

On This Episode: Joe Biden’s plans for his first 100 days in office doesn’t look very “moderate”.

Everyone knows the economy is in a bad spot. It's good to see gas prices going down, but inflation is still sky high and not going anywhere. Suplly chain issues are nowhere near being resolved. Even Democrat experts are discussing stagflation. So what is the Biden team doing? Quietly - and not so quietly - changing the definition of recession so they can keep pretending that everything is fine. And everything is not fine.
