America First Report
Hosted by JD Rucker · EN
America is a Christian nation. The America First Report intends to remind the world of this because in order to be truly "America First" we need to remember that honoring God is our primary path as a nation. The political and cultural landscapes are treacherous. We cannot successfully navigate them without our Lord and Savior at the top of mind in all things. We have been blessed by being in the greatest nation to ever exist. We must not let that status slip away because of anti-Christian beliefs that have become far too normalized in America.

Will Los Angeles Vote for What’s Best for LA or Out of Loyalty to the Democrat Party?
1w ago00:17:27Tap to summarizeLos Angeles voters face a question on June 2 that has nothing to do with national politics and everything to do with whether the city survives the decade. The June 2 primary is winner-take-all if any candidate clears fifty percent plus one vote. Spencer Pratt, the second-generation Angeleno and Palisades Fire victim currently polling in second place behind embattled incumbent Karen Bass, has a narrow but real path to that threshold. Forty percent of the electorate is still undecided. The math is sitting there waiting for someone to do it.And here is the uncomfortable question hovering over every honest voter in the city: Is Los Angeles in such good shape that loyalty to the Democrat Party should outweigh loyalty to the city itself?Read More: https://americafirstreport.com/will-los-angeles-vote-for-whats-best-for-la-or-out-of-loyalty-to-the-democrat-party/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Transcribe →3 Takeaways From California's Gubernatorial Debate
2w ago00:28:05Tap to summarizeOn Tuesday, CNN held another California Gubernatorial debate. Some of the candidates were awful, especially Antonio Villaraigosa and Katie Porter. Others did okay.Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton looked the best. We learned three things from the debate:1. Legacy media is going to let Becerra off the hook for his various scandals.2. Katie Porter let it slip that illegal aliens are replacing the American citizens who are leaving.3. Steve Hilton hit Becerra hard, but perhaps too late in the debate.It will be an interesting four weeks until the election on June 2.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Transcribe →White House Quietly Backpedaling on Anthropic as Powerful AI Beats Others
3w ago00:13:19Tap to summarizeThe Trump administration is preparing to climb down off a tree it spent two months sawing at. According to Axios reporting, the White House is drafting an executive action that would carve out a path for federal agencies to resume using Anthropic’s artificial intelligence systems, including the company’s most advanced model, Mythos, despite the Pentagon’s earlier designation of Anthropic as a “supply chain risk to national security.”One source involved in the discussions described the maneuvering, saying the White House is looking for a way to “save face and bring em back in.”Read More: https://americafirstreport.com/white-house-quietly-backpedaling-on-anthropic-as-powerful-ai-beats-others/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Transcribe →Legacy Media Is Packaging Communist Tyranny as the Next Cool Thing
4w ago00:25:17Tap to summarizeThe legacy media’s latest obsession is impossible to miss. In recent weeks, outlets from The Guardian to Bloomberg to The Economist have flooded their pages with glowing tributes to Chinese innovation, culture, and global leadership. China leads in artificial intelligence ethics. China dominates electric vehicles and drone technology. China offers a steadier model for the world. Young Westerners, we are told, are “Chinamaxxing”—eagerly adopting habits like sipping hot water with goji berries, wearing indoor slippers, and declaring they have entered “a very Chinese time in their lives.”This is not organic admiration. It is a coordinated narrative push, one that seeks to rebrand the Chinese Communist Party as the responsible adult in the room while the West supposedly descends into chaos.Read More: https://americafirstreport.com/legacy-media-is-packaging-communist-tyranny-as-the-next-cool-thing/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Transcribe →Democrats File Five Articles of Impeachment Against Pete Hegseth
Apr 1500:34:42Tap to summarizeHouse Democrats have filed five articles of impeachment against War Secretary Pete Hegseth, centering their accusations on the Trump administration’s military campaign against Iran. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) with eight co-sponsors, charges abuse of power, violations of the laws of armed conflict, negligence with sensitive information, obstruction of oversight, and conduct damaging to the nation’s reputation.This latest partisan maneuver arrives as the Pentagon reports decisive success in degrading Iran’s military capabilities. Far from an unprovoked adventure, the operation targeted a regime long bent on acquiring nuclear weapons, exporting terrorism, and threatening American interests and allies. Democrats’ haste to impeach the man overseeing these operations reveals less about Hegseth’s fitness than about their own reflexive opposition to any assertion of American strength.Read More: https://americafirstreport.com/democrats-file-five-articles-of-impeachment-against-pete-hegseth/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Apr 1000:18:15Tap to summarizeIn late February, the FBI warned California law enforcement that Iran had "aspired" to launch drone strikes from a vessel off the coast, in retaliation for U.S.-Israel strikes on IranThe intelligence was unverified; the White House called for retractions and said no such threat ever existedNewsom and local agencies issued reassuring statements and declared elevated readiness — essentially bureaucratic theaterThe more serious question the episode exposed: California has no meaningful counter-drone capability of its ownFederal law restricts drone interdiction to federal agencies; state and local law enforcement cannot act independentlyExperts note large Shahed-style strikes on California aren't feasible, but small modified commercial drones are a genuine, existing threatIran has a documented presence in Mexico and South America and now has both the drones and the motiveCalifornia needs real action: National Guard drone interdiction training, infrastructure vulnerability assessments, and pressure on Congress to expand counter-drone authority to statesRead More: https://americafirstreport.com/california-is-one-unverified-tip-away-from-realizing-it-has-no-drone-defense/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Transcribe →We Must Ban Sharia Law But We Must Not Call to Ban Muslim Prayer in Public
Apr 600:15:20Tap to summarizeThere is a particular kind of political stupidity that disguises itself as toughness — the kind that swings a sledgehammer at the foundation of one’s own house in order to frighten away the neighbors. Conservatives who are now calling for a ban on Muslim public prayer in the United States are engaging in exactly this kind of self-defeating bravado. The impulse is understandable. The cultural anxieties are real. The concern about Islamist ideology in Western nations is well-documented and entirely legitimate. But the remedy being prescribed would kill the patient along with the disease. If we allow government the power to ban Muslim prayer in public, we have handed that same government the power to ban Christian prayer in public — and given the trajectory of this culture, we should have no illusions about which direction that axe eventually swings.The argument for banning Muslim public prayer has a surface-level logic that appeals to those who are watching, with growing alarm, the deliberate Islamization of the public square. They are not wrong to be alarmed. But they are wrong about the solution.Read More: https://americafirstreport.com/we-must-ban-sharia-law-but-we-must-not-call-to-ban-muslim-prayer-in-public/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Transcribe →Either John Thune Leads the Senate and Ends the Filibuster of JD Vance Needs to Step In
Mar 3000:33:31Tap to summarizeThere is a moment in every legislative fight when the machinery of procedure either serves the people or becomes an excuse for cowardice. We are in that moment now. The SAVE America Act — legislation that Republicans campaigned on and that the American people voted to see enacted — sits hostage to the filibuster, that hallowed Senate tradition that has, once again, transformed majority-rule governance into a veto wielded by a determined minority.Senate Majority Leader John Thune has acknowledged the core problem plainly enough: four Republican senators remain opposed to eliminating the filibuster. Four. Not fourteen, not forty — four. That is not a wall. That is a door with a single deadbolt. The only question is whether Thune has the will, and the skill, to find the key.Read More: https://americafirstreport.com/either-john-thune-leads-the-senate-and-ends-the-filibuster-or-jd-vance-needs-to-step-in/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Transcribe →250 Years as One Nation Under God
Mar 2600:20:27Tap to summarizeAmerica is a Christian nation. Our very founding testifies to this eternal truth. From the Pilgrims crossing the Atlantic in search of religious liberty to the Continental Congress opening its sessions in fervent prayer, our forebears understood that true liberty flows from dependence upon Almighty God. To be genuinely America First, we must honor our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of our national identity. In these treacherous political and cultural landscapes—where secularism, moral decay, and anti-Christian beliefs have become normalized—we dare not forget that our blessings as the greatest nation on earth come directly from the hand of Providence.As we stand on the threshold of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, a profound opportunity presents itself: the chance to rededicate our nation as One Nation Under God. President Trump has proclaimed a “Year of Celebration and Rededication” and called for the National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving on May 17, 2026, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. This gathering, part of the broader Freedom 250 and America Prays initiatives, invites believers from every state to come together at sunrise for worship, testimonies, music, and a powerful national moment of prayer—echoing the very prayers that sustained our founders 250 years ago.Read More: See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Transcribe →Trump Offers Iran 30-Day Ceasefire to Work Out Details for a Permanent Peace Plan
Mar 2500:18:23Tap to summarizePresident Donald Trump is pursuing a one-month ceasefire with Iran while the U.S. has delivered a detailed 15-point peace plan aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.The proposal demands that Iran fully dismantle its nuclear program, abandon support for proxy militias, limit its missile capabilities, and keep the Strait of Hormuz open as a free maritime corridor.In exchange, Iran would receive the lifting of international sanctions and U.S. assistance in developing its civilian nuclear program for electricity generation.The plan was delivered through Pakistani channels with an initial short response deadline, and the framework draws on elements similar to previous Trump-brokered agreements.Trump has publicly stated that talks are productive, claiming Iran has already made significant concessions, including a valuable undisclosed “present” to the United States.Military operations, including Operation Epic Fury, continue alongside diplomacy, with a five-day pause ordered on strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure.Iranian officials, including parliament speaker Mohammed-Baqer Qalibaf, have denied formal negotiations, even as reports indicate backchannel communications.Oil prices dropped sharply on news of the diplomatic push, reflecting market hopes for de-escalation amid disruptions caused by Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz.Read More: https://discernreport.com/trump-offers-iran-30-day-ceasefire-to-work-out-details-for-a-permanent-peace-plan/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
