My name is Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. I was just talking to a friend of mine who said he hasn't been able to follow the news lately. It's been too much. It's too crazy. It's driving him crazy and he's just checked out. If you feel that way sometimes, too, I think you'll really like our podcast Politics by Faith. We take the main story of the day and we run it through the Bible. What does the Bible say about this? It's amazing, but it's all there. And then God tells us what to do. We don't even have to figure it out. The answers are right there. He gives us the answers. Politics by Faith. Please join us over there. You can listen to it wherever you're listening to this podcast right now. Politics by Faith.

Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, May 15, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. 2020 Chinese spy devices, illegal alien barely sentenced. Newsom Bales on his promise and El Chapo's family is in America. It's all coming up and Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, according to Reuters, there are rogue communication devices that have been found in Chinese solar power converters. These communication devices that are not listed in product documents have been found in some Chinese solar power inverters or by US Experts who stripped down the equipment hooked up to the grids to check for security issues. These components provide additional undocumented communication channels that could allow firewalls to be circumvented remotely. It's possible that China could use these devices to trigger widespread blackouts. Back in May of last year, the Wall Street Journal reported on communications devices found in Chinese made cranes in US ports. One Chinese company makes 80% of the cranes that we use in American boards. A 15 year old evil alien just outside Denver was driving 90 miles per hour in a 45 residential zone. He hit a car driven by 24 year old Caitlyn Weaver, killing her instantly. The DA at the time was looking for the maximum of two years in a juvenile correction facility. But the new DA decided to give the 15 year old illegal alien two years probation at 100 hours community service. This actually happened last July. The judge just made the punishment decision due to Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration. Since January, homicides in Denver have declined 58% over the first three months compared to the first three months of last year and nearby Aurora saw a 36% decline over that same period. Speaking of illegal aliens, Governor Gavin Newsom has caved on the state of California's offer of free healthcare, free legal aliens. This is one year after granting illegal aliens healthcare and the state Medi Cal program. The expected cost was going to be $6 billion. It already exploded to 9 billion just in one year. The 1.6 million illegal aliens who already signed up in that one year will not lose their coverage, but new illegals will not be allowed to join. And finally, El Chapo, the co founder of the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, has been in an American prison since 2017. He has four sons. Two of them are also in American custody. Reports are that 17 of his family members have turned themselves in to American officials on our side of the border. In San Diego, one of his sons originally pled not guilty, but has changed his plea to guilty. Possibly a deal was made that he would give up information on the cartels in exchange for keeping his family members safe from retaliation in Mexico. A. Mike Slater, I host a podcast called Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.
