Schumer’s Shutdown, Tomahawks Off the Table, and the Left’s Street Theater (Ep. 186)

In this solo Friday-night show from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I cover a packed slate: John Bolton’s indictment over alleged mishandling of classified documents and how it echoes prior controversies; the Schumer-led shutdown standoff and why Democrats are digging in over funding priorities; and the “No Kings” protests, including the NYC rally’s sponsors and what that signals about the left.

I then break down the fiery New York City mayoral debate among Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa, and Zoran Mamdani—touching on crime, policing, antisemitism, National Guard authority, and each candidate’s experience (or lack thereof). We also examine Virginia’s attorney general debate, where incumbent Jason Miyares hammered Jay Jones over violent rhetoric and a 116-mph reckless driving case tied to “community service” at his own PAC. On foreign policy, I recap President Trump’s calls with Vladimir Putin, his Oval Office meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, why Tomahawk missiles are “off the table,” and whether a Budapest meeting could lead to a ceasefire. I close with a look at new soft-disclosure buzz around UFOs/UAPs—highlighting public comments from senior officials—and why it raises bigger strategic questions than the headlines suggest.
