  President Trump presents Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk's widow Erika Kirk
 

18m

LOUDER WITH CROWDER

  • Crowder went to a barber shop that was frequented by majority black men.
  • That is something in and of itself. 
  • The headline read “Crowder visits black barbershop.”
  • If you were to say ‘white’ barbershop would the headline catch the same?
  • How can you have a black barbershop if your race is so oppressed? 

AUDIO/VIDEO: Black & White on the Gray Issues 

  • It was basically facts be damned they are changed by the white man.
  • No matter the stats presented to these men, they simply didn’t want to hear them and made the case that those stats were calculated by the white man to make the black man look bad.
  • I would almost say what I saw and read about this interview, it is similar to what I have seen and read in the usual suspect conspiracy circles.
  • The facts just don’t matter to most Americans.
  • I tend to think that much of this is the product of modern thinking. I don’t think there is much ‘thinking’ going on.
  • For example it is demonstrably true that humans are born with a gender. It is assigned at conception.
  • This is an institutional failure.

LETITIA JAMES

  • Did  a rally for Zohran Mamdani and did she speak wonders to what he will do?
  • No of course not she gave a speech about how she will not bend the knee to Donald Trump.

HEADLINE: Letitia James Accused of Harboring a Fugitive in Norfolk, Virginia House Amid Mortgage Fraud Cases by Debra Heine 

  • Apparently the James family business is larceny. 
  • How many of the Trump children are currently on the lamb?
  • How many of Trump’s children have been arrested?
  • How many of Trump’s children have been known to do drugs?
  • I can tell you how many of Biden’s children have had issues w/ the police.
  • When a public servant goes after someone for political reasons, there is almost always skeletons in their closet.
  • This will make by my count the 3rd AG of New York under major criminal indictment. The 2 previous ones did the right thing and resigned. Letitia is going down swinging because she truly feels her skin color and being a female will save her.
  • Do we need this DEMOCRACY thing anymore?
  • Democracy got us here folks.

HEADLINE: Can We Still Support Liberal Democracy? by Rod Dreher 

  • Liberal Democracy cannot survive AI.
  • I think the reasons it won’t survive should be evident.
  • Liberal Democracy already has a problem, an imaging problem so to speak.
  • There are just so many bad actors involved so what is AI going to do?
  • It can only survive as front, focused and centered – LIVE talk radio.
  • You don’t play TKD in an elevator. 
  • You have to have some type of long form.
  • This is inevitable, AI will start making candidates. 

HEADLINE: Hollywood’s newest “actress” raises questions over the role of AI in film by Ella Yanoti 

  • Norwood can best be visually described as a young, thin white woman in her early 20s with long, brown hair and big brown eyes. Besides her physical description fitting the bill for multiple fresh faces, her Instagram further proves her to be like most young adults — whether famous or ordinary — as she is seen enjoying iced coffee and pulling late nights for work. Despite this normalcy that seems entirely unprovoking, there’s one thing that makes Norwood completely stand out — she is created entirely from artificial intelligence.
  M3GAN MOVIE

  • The 2nd movie in the Megan series. 
  • Writer James Wan does a great job.

ChatGPT

  • If you tell it how to do something correctly as far as YOU understand how to do it correctly, like you just don’t feel like writing all the code, for the most part it will crank out what you are looking for but it RARELY gets it right the first time.
  • It has never smarted off to me or gotten something like ‘that color scheme is ugly or wrong’. 
  • AI to hear future son in law #2 agree, AI is a Texas Instrument, RadioShack hand held calculator from 1978. It is just a TOOL.
  • To those stating if you don’t go AI your company is cooked, I just don’t think that is the case in most fields that is.

HEATHER COX RICHARD 

She has over 300K followers on X right now.

  • Heather Cox Richardson has more subscribers than Jimmy Kimmel has viewers. And every night, or thereabouts, she tells her 2.7 million followers that America is sliding into authoritarianism. Trump is a dictator, MAGA is inspired by Nazi political theory, and right-wing violence is a deliberate attempt to maintain control despite their fading popular support.
  • She’s built a media empire by offering her audience, who treats her like a pastor at the pulpit, exactly what they want to hear: a morality tale where they are always the good guys, and the other side has gone insane. Some of her subscribers claim to spend their Social Security checks on her newsletter because subscribing is an act of patriotism, an endorsement of the facts. But in Richardson’s telling, the facts always skew left. 
  • When it was revealed that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was not the right-wing extremist she claimed he was, she never corrected the record. When Biden’s debate performance was so bad The New York Times called for him to drop out, Richardson claimed he “thoroughly” proved his competence. When an assassin murdered Minnesota lawmakers, it was “horrific,” but when Luigi Mangione assassinated UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, it was a moral protest.

HEADLINE: The crisis of liberal democracy by Ed West 

  • China currently operates more than two-thirds of all high-speed rail on earth, with 48,000 kilometres of track now laid, and one can’t help but compare these achievements with notable fiascos in the West. In Britain we singularly failed to build a high-speed railway between our three largest cities, by no means the only project to suffer from spiraling costs; in the most notorious case, the application to build a tunnel across the Thames ran to almost £300 million. That’s just the application.
  • The basic function of any state is to ensure the long-term finances of the country, to defend its borders and to protect the population through law and order. You might also include a fourth factor, which is to ensure the posterity of its citizens. By all four measures, western liberal democracies have done poorly since the age of accelerated liberalism began in the 1990s. While there is angst about how illiberalism is winning, there doesn’t seem much reflection on how illiberal regimes, for all their faults, currently seem more effective at delivering those things.
  • China has 2 billion people to spare to throw at a project like these bridges and railways or face execution. 
  • They build things like this with slave labor. 
  • There is no record in the history of the world that people will perpetually endure this kind of slavery. 
  • What happens when the slavery goes away? Will these things be kept up?

HEADLINE: Male ‘Skinny Fatness’ Is A Moral Problem As Well As A Physical One by Stephen G Adubato

  • So what is Skinny Fat you might ask?
  • The frail condition that Millennial young men like Mamdani find themselves in should be a wake-up call to parents, educators, and policymakers to look for ways to encourage young men to lead, build, and — at very least — lift.
  • Zohran Mamdani attempted to bench-press 135 pounds while a crowd of onlookers cheered him on. Emphasis on attempted. Mamdani found himself unable to complete even one rep without the help of two burly bystanders. His opponents did not hesitate to seize the opportunity to call him out.
  • Despite having a normal BMI and body fat percentage, those who are “metabolically obese” tend to take on fat in their midsections while their limbs remain slim. The consensus among doctors, nutritionists, and fitness influencers is that this usually results from high cortisol levels (induced by stress), eating too much sugar and too little protein, living a sedentary lifestyle, or doing too much cardio and too little weight training.
1h53m AUDIO/VIDEO: President Trump – NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani – He is 33 years old, he doesn’t know a damn thing. Practically hasn’t worked a day in his life. I’m not gonna send a lot of money to New York. The funding comes through the WH. I would not be generous to a communist who’s gonna take the money and throw it out the window. We’re not gonna let somebody get into office and squander the money. He’s not a socialist, he’s a communist. Down and dirty, he hates police, he hates Jewish people, and yet he has Jewish people supporting him. 

  • Communist are known for killing millions of people.
  • Fascist are known for killing millions of people.
  • But revisionist history has changed how we think about these two terms.
  • Ask anyone that has Polish people in their lineage. 
  • Propaganda works.
  • The Katyn Massacres – look it up.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Vice President w/ George Stephanopoulos – Tom Homan Taking a Bribe – I don’t know what tape you are referring to George. I saw media reports that Tom Homan accepted a bribe there is NO evidence of that. And here’s George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program. You are talking now for 5 minutes with the VP of the United States about this story that I have read about but have not seen the video you are talking about. Meanwhile low income women can’t get food because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer has shutdown the government.. We are trying to figure out how to pay our troops and you are focused on a bogus story and insinuating a guy did something wrong w/ no evidence.

AUDIO/VIDEO: President Trump at White House – Charlie Kirk Medal of Freedom – Charles James Kirk was a visionary and one of the greatest figures of his generation. He knew that the fight to preserve our heritage is waged not only on the battlefield and in the halls of power, but also in the hearts of our nation’s youth. He fought for free speech, strong borders and whatever he did he put America first. Everything he did was historic.

AUDIO/VIDEO: President Trump at White House – Charlie Kirk Medal of Freedom – We still feel the terrible shock of his loss. He was one of a kind, he was unstoppable. When he would have an idea in his head he would call me and say Sir, you haven’t done it yet! He is irreplaceable. You can’t replace that kind of person and that kind of talent. We hold his memory in our hearts. Every single day of this administration, we will continue to carry out the mission for which he lived. He lived for this country and his wife and family. In his honor we will FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT and WIN WIN WIN.

AUDIO/VIDEO: President Trump at White House – Charlie Kirk Medal of Freedom – In the days since Charlie’s killing, we’ve seen exactly why our country so dearly needed his example. We’ve watched legions of far-left radicals resort to desperate acts of violence and terror because they know that their ideas and arguments are persuading no one. They know they are failing and they have the devils ideology. 

  • Why did they have to assassinate Charlie?
  • Why didn’t they just come up with an alternative to Turning Point USA?
  • Why was violence the answer to the movement?
  • I hope they keep the government shutdown until the next elections!
  • Trump can shutdown all the left-wing crap DOGE tried to cut but Congress wouldn’t let him.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Erika Kirk at White House – Praying for Your Enemies – Surprisingly enough he did pray for his enemies. He did. No he never did it in front of anyone else but I can attest to that. But he also loved people when it was inconvenient. And he ran his race with endurance, and he kept the faith. And now he wears the crown of a righteous martyr. 

AUDIO/VIDEO: Erika Kirk at White House – Medal of Freedom – My daughter had this birthday message for Charlie. Happy Birthday Daddy. I want to give you a stuffed animal. I want you to eat a cupcake with ice cream. And I want you to go have a birthday surprise. I love you. While our son is precious he can’t yet speak but his actions spoke louder than words. He decided to become fully potty-trained at 16 months and become the man of the house.

  OCTOBER 13TH

  • What happened on the 13th this year?
  • President Trump signed a peace deal in the Middle East on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
  • I’m not saying anything other than I don’t believe in coincidences. 
2h27m

 

AUDIO/VIDEO: Letitia James – Our Time Has Come Mamdani Rally – I know what it feels like to be attacked for just doing your job. But I also know what it feels like to overcome adversity. So I stand on solid rock. I will not bow. I will not bend. I will not give in. I will not give up! You come for me, you gotta come to all of us.

  • Could you tell she was at a rally for Mamadani?
  • It sounded like she was running for something herself. 
  • This has become a regular thing for her.
  • It became a regular thing for Fannie Willis too.
  • This is the shout of GUILTY PROJECTION!

  • If I didn’t know anyone in New York I would go out and campaign for Mamdani.
  • You guys should get what you vote for there in that state. 
  • The fact you are even flirting w/ this Communist, you should get his policies and you should get them HARD.
  • Hochul is running and endorsing Mamdani.
  • She wouldn’t even be in the position she is in without Cuomo.
2h45m

 

AUDIO/VIDEO: Governor JB Pritzker – Holding ICE Agents Accountable – I don’t trust at all that the Trump administration will hold any of these people accountable. We will, we will call for accountability and indeed the tables will turn some day. These people should recognize that maybe they won’t get prosecuted today but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration for the things they did.

  • What did you just hear in this clip?
  • You are listening to a Governor talking about prosecuting people that are just following orders. 
  • They work for the Dept of Homeland Security and they follow orders.
  • This is a threat, a threat to use the DOJ to go after employees of the DHS.
  AUDIO: THE MIKE CHURCH SHOW BAND – OVAL OFFICE DREAMING
  AUDIO/VIDEO: Barack ObamaWe don’t want kangaroo courts and trumped up charges. We want our court system and our DOJ and FBI to be playing things straight and not meddling in politics the way we have seen lately. 
2h53m FOX NEWS LIVE – Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent

“No Kings = No Paychecks”

  AUDIO/VIDEO: Barack ObamaWhat was unusual for me was obviously a lot of what I represented and what Michelle and I have tried to project, our values when thinking about America, my successor seemed to represent the opposite. Not seemed he did. There was a lot of anger, sadness and fear across the country.

Political Affairs Contributor 

Follow her on X – @MahgdalenRose

  • What is the anger, sadness and fear Obama is talking about?
  • I have seen a lot of Democrats talk about this shutdown.
  • They no longer have power to keep the media’s attention on this.
  • He can’t achieve, at the same time he is on these shows but he isn’t on the same level of podcasts that other Republicans are.
  • Democrats no longer have power in media because they failed to get into the alternative media shift. 

AUDIO/VIDEO: Vice President w/ George Stephanopoulos – Tom Homan Taking a Bribe – I don’t know what tape you are referring to George. I saw media reports that Tom Homan accepted a bribe there is NO evidence of that. And here’s George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program. You are talking now for 5 minutes with the VP of the United States about this story that I have read about but have not seen the video you are talking about. Meanwhile low income women can’t get food because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer has shutdown the government.. We are trying to figure out how to pay our troops and you are focused on a bogus story and insinuating a guy did something wrong w/ no evidence. 

HEADLINE: Trump aide Homan accepted $50,000 in bribery sting operation, sources say by Sarah N Lynch

  • You are supposed to believe Tom Homan just accepted a $50,000 duffle bag of cash.
  • Mr police man, man of the law, bleeds blue that guy?
  • When you look across the board members, they all have high ratings even in Democrats. 
  • Hakeem Jeffries ratings are so low they’ve stopped talking about it.
  • They created a monster w/ AOC in 2019.
  • Nancy’s strength was holding her ego back but that is no longer.
  • There was nothing in that report, anonymous sources etc etc.
  • Charlie Kirk gets awarded the Medal of Freedom yesterday at the White House in the rose garden.
  • Democrats still can’t find the time to show compassion.
  • The enemy doesn’t want to be forgiven.
  • Tyler Robinson motive has disappeared from conversation. The origin has kinda stopped since Candace Owens started down the rabbit hole.

Shilo Brooks – Reading Books Made a Man Out of Me

  • Young people today, and especially young men, do not understand how reading books can alter the trajectory of a life. Reading for pleasure among American adults has dropped 40 percent in the past 20 years. In 2022, only 28 percent of men read a work of fiction, compared to 47 percent of women—a 19-point gap. A National Endowment for the Arts study found that just 40 percent of men read any book at all that year.
  • This dramatic decrease in reading is happening at the same time as a deepening existential crisis among young men. Record numbers of them are not getting marriednot datingnot enrolling in school or working, and struggling with serious mental health issues. A quiet malaise hangs over them. Today’s young men, who fill my classroom by the hundreds, ardently long for a more meaningful existence than the one offered to them by digital narcotics.
  • There also isn’t things being written or geared toward men and young boys.
  • We covered this a while back too.
  • WEBSITE – GREAT BATTLE FOR BOYShttps://greatbattlesforboys.com/
3h26m

 

LGBTQ DECLINE

  • The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), which conducts a large annual survey of US undergraduates, polled over 60,000 students in 2025. My analysis of the raw data shows that in that year, just 3.6% of respondents identified as a gender other than male or female. By comparison, the figure was 5.2% in 2024 and 6.8% in both 2022 and 2023. In other words, the share of trans-identified students has effectively halved in just two years.
  • This trend is especially marked in elite institutions. Andover Phillips Academy in suburban Boston surveys over three-quarters of its students annually. In 2023, 9.2% identified as neither male nor female. This year, that number has crashed to just 3%. A similar story emerges at Brown University: 5% of students identified as non-binary in 2022 and 2023, but by 2025 that share had dropped to 2.6%.
  • Being transgender is horrible.
  • The horror to the body, the sexual issues and the social issues.
  • This young generating is pretty vain and this transgender stuff doesn’t bode well for that vanity.
  • Look at where Dylan Mulvaney is now. The same place he was plucked from existence, an obscure broadway show somewhere.
  • Remember July 4th last year vs this year? It was all rainbows and unicorns and LGBTQ now it is 100% American. Flag waving and sparklers and fireworks.
3h32m

 

 

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN CONTINUES

  • There isn’t a clear winner in this I don’t think but if a party is winning, it is the Republican party on this.
  • It is important to note that there is a slight revolt in the Democrat party.
  • And the leader is AOC, I think Hakeem Jeffries time is over before it even got started. The Squad is going to rise. The old Hakeem groomed by Nancy is over. The left is no longer moderate, it is far left or bust.
  BACK TO LGBTQ 

  • The parental abductions that happened, the men the fathers that lost custody because they would not go along w/ mutilating their children justice should come soon.
