I kicked off this Monday’s Radio Ranch sorting through a thin morning news slate—Rex Jones’ promised launch of “My American Journal” on Rumble didn’t materialize, so I asked listeners what live morning shows they trust for straight overnight updates. From there we ranged widely: the reshuffle at InfoWars, why a real news-first morning program matters, and blunt reactions to Trump’s recent rhetoric and foreign-policy moves amid rising Middle East tensions and talk of blockades. Callers weighed in—sometimes hot—on allegations and counter-allegations around Trump and Epstein, and on where to find credible reporting when the usual streams go dark.

In hour two we dug into citizenship and law: Dred Scott, Plessy, the Slaughter‑House Cases, and United States v. Wong Kim Ark, plus a PBS documentary on the Chinese Exclusion Act. We also explored religious and historical through-lines listeners raised—Kabbalah, the Zohar, Sabbatai Zevi, Jacob Frank, Zionism, and modern anti‑Zionist Jewish voices like Neturei Karta—along with readings recommended by the audience (Michael A. Hoffman II). Lighter moments included Masters chatter and a quick sidebar on cord‑cutting/streaming. We’ll be back mid‑week with our income‑tax origins lecture for anyone new who wants the nuts and bolts from the ground up.
