Episode Overview

This episode of "Check the News" dives deep into the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, foreign policy developments, the U.S.-Israel relationship, recent court decisions around immigration, media bias, and shifting political dynamics. The host, Steve Edmond, combines serious policy commentary, pop culture asides, and pointed, often irreverent humor to analyze current events through a right-populist, America First lens. The tone oscillates between satirical, combative, and occasionally reflective.

Overall Tone & Style

Steve Edmond’s presentation is energetic and opinionated, trading in both sharp-edged political jokes and earnest appeals to faith and patriotism. News analysis is blended with sarcasm and direct, sometimes provocative, audience engagement. The cadence and content target an audience skeptical of mainstream media, supportive of former President Trump, and invested in culture war issues. The episode moves rapidly between news, pop culture, moral commentary, and interactive moments.

Expect rapid shifts in topic, plenty of pointed (and sometimes controversial) humor, and a strong push for faith-based community action. The overall focus is on dissecting breaking news with a skeptical eye toward mainstream narratives, and always from a distinctly right-populist perspective.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Let's go.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Well, welcome to the final day in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'll see you live in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, tonight at Power Chapel. And we are right across right now from the Wayman Tisdale School of Fine Arts, who, if I remember correctly, was one of the two guys from NBA Jam on the Sacramento Kings. He was a professional basketball player who also played bass guitar professionally. I can't remember if he's a Christian or not. Can you find that out? I just saw the sign on the way in. He was a power forward and he also was, like an excellent musician. I guess he built a school for kids. Good to see you people. Turn on the Democrats. They're. They're in trouble. War with Venezuela is looking like it's taking place right now. Climate change is over. Can't celebrate that enough. Good to see everybody on YouTube. Good to see Danny from Naples, Florida on the app, Milta on the app, and Stevon on the app. Great to see everybody. Let's check the news. After an incredible successful week in Asia, President Trump boarded Air Force One en route to his home in Palm Beach, Florida. Just brought nearly 2 trillion in Asian investments, secured critical minerals, struck agreements with China, and finalized peace between Cambodia and Thailand. Roll it, Little wave. Good job, Mr. President. Next, Tony Roma explains why the footballs are switched if a fan catches a ball. This was chilling to me. Roll it. And that's into the first row, maybe the second. And it's caught.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

There he is, young Jim Nance just catching football. Oh, you see what they do there?

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Yeah.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

See how they switch that but the reason you give the ball back, because there's chips in those footballs.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Do you know that?

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

And the NFL wants to keep their.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Data to themselves and give you a ball that doesn't have chips, pewter chips inside the game ball.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Don't believe me?

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Google it.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Now, I discussed in my last video.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

That I believe that these computer chips can be turned into an electromagnet and thus you can have the ball be.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Manipulated with magnets and technology and cause, let's say a field goal that was.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Gonna be good to bounce off the uprights instead. Now, this isn't the only way that this technology is being used. I also believe that this very same magnetic technology is being implemented into the player's gloves. Especially wide receivers making all those awesome.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

One handed catches that they routinely seem to make. What do you think? Next? Hold on. What? Wait. Watch this. Worth every second. Roll it.

[Host/News Anchor]

But above all this, I wish.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Next. Wayman Tisdale wasn't. Was. Is he dead? He often spoke publicly about his faith in God and credited as a foundation for his life both during and after his NBA. His basketball career after retiring from the NBA became a successful gospel influenced smooth jazz musician. And his music frequently reflected his faith and gratitude. Yeah, even after being diagnosed with cancer and losing part of his leg, Tisdale maintained a positive outlook, saying his faith gave him peace and strength through every challenge and interviews. In his autobiography, he described his relationship with God as central to his identity and purpose. Let me see if he's Alive. Died in 2009. Son of a gun. Well, big ups to Wayman Tisdale and his family. God bless you. Good job building that school. Next. The Ovon. Roll it.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

They deleted my hair. Oh, disappeared my hair.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

That's what it was.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

They disappeared my hair.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

They disappeared my hair.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

Dude, I'm hanging out. I was with Kid Rock the other.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Night and he calls Trump dude. It's like he's got him on speed dial. It's like 1am he calls him. He's like, let's go. Trump answers. They're talking. I'm like, dude, what is going on?

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Next. Treasury Secretary Besant, hope you run for president. Says the US and China plan to sign a trade deal next week. Next. Norm MacDonald was banned from returning to the View for 15 years after his appearance in the year 2000, when he wouldn't stop talking about Bill Clinton murdering people. Because you remember there was a guy that was involved with Trump on. Sorry, With Clinton on real estate deals and they found them dead in a park in Washington D.C. and said he shot Himself in the head. But there was like two shots fired or something and they freak out. Roll it. It'd be good to get the.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

See, I don't. I think we should get the homicide out of the White House and get like a fresh start because we don't.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Want any more murderers.

[Host/News Anchor]

I think we should just go on to the next question. Who's murderers?

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Yeah.

[Host/News Anchor]

Oh, Clinton.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

He murdered a guy. Yeah.

[Host/News Anchor]

You know, we're not allowed to. You're not allowed to put out no accusations with that one. That's a little too far.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Let's just.

[Host/News Anchor]

Let's just go on to the next motion.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Yeah.

[Host/News Anchor]

This is not my week.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

What can I tell you?

[Host/News Anchor]

Oh, it's not mine either. And I'm being very nice.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Okay.

[Commercial Announcer]

Be a good boy now.

[Host/News Anchor]

Norm.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Do you never hear that?

[Host/News Anchor]

No, listen, we don't need to. I don't want to get into this and I don't want to hear it. And this is not the place to. To make those accusations. And you're supposed to be funny. Let's get on very. Get with. There you go. This is a live show. But you have been properly chastised by Barbara. So I'm now going to ask the next question.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

I thought it was a matter of record.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Why is he gone? And Patton Oswald still here. Next. This is the head of the Canadian military. It makes me feel like getting three friends together and invading. This is Canada's top military general. She's crying while apologizing for systemic racism and discrimination in their forces. I feel like she might have played a lot of Duke Nukem. A deeply unserious country. This is how Western civilization dies. Roll it.

[Host/News Anchor]

Systemic racism, racial discrimination and harassment are an affront to these values. And yet we allowed these injustices to occur and fester within our ranks. Therefore, on behalf of the Canadian armed forces, I offer my most sincere and deepest apologies. I apologize to every caf? Member. Thanks for watching. Check the news. We'll be right back after these messages.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

I'm Rodney Williams. And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the Wealth Break. Let's be honest, building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle and relying on your community to create something bigger. And that's exactly why we created the wealthbreak. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles and real wins. We're here to talk about the journey. You'll hear from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed, and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business, we're bringing you their stories. And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities, like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same. So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place. Listen to the Wealth Break podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Time is precious and so are our pets. So time with our pets is extra precious. That's why we started Dutch.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Your pets and year round peace of mind when it comes to their vet care.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Welcome back to Check the News.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Well, I think we actually, I mean, it doesn't solve the health insurance problem, the premium problem. I think what's a very fair deal is open the government and let's just vote on extending these premiums for a year or more. Well, I don't, I don't understand what's so hard about that. And by the way, Senator Thune has offered that, I believe.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Notice this is a New Jersey Democrat. I don't understand why we don't reopen the government. So the Democrats are starting to have ranks broken and they only need to lose five Democrats to reopen the government and that's a massive loss. Hey, what happened to Taco? What happened to Trump? Always chickens out. He's not doing it this time. Keep going.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

He offered up a vote that we can actually have a vote on extending these premiums. I think when put to it, you're going to see Democrat and Republicans, senators and congressmen and women want to vote for that. Why would you not want to vote to extend help with these tax credits, get premiums down for people? You know, people are getting hurt right now in their pocketbooks. They're really, really help. So why not give them some help?

[Host/News Anchor]

All right, let's move.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Next, will it be Goldberg's being called out for making the most ironic statement possible? Look at what they say with no irony. Stop investigating a Man about Biden. Stop investigating a man who's no longer in office. Do you remember way back, 12 months ago, they want you to forget the last four years and believe you raided Trump's home out of office. Take it away, Predator.

[Host/News Anchor]

It's kind of crazy. You know, I kind of agree with him. If you. Instead of investigating a man who is.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

No longer in office, I would like.

[Host/News Anchor]

You all to find out why the US Military is striking vessels without verifying who's in them.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Pause. I want the government shut. Who said they don't know who's in them? Elsa who? If a boat's leaving a foreign country packed with fentanyl to deliver to the United States. Why do you need to know? The guy's name's Paco. What a stupid. I mean, the fact that this show has ratings is the main argument for taking away women's right to vote.

[Host/News Anchor]

Keep going down to figure out what's going on, because it's getting ready to be the longest one in history. SNAP benefits are about to run out.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Are you dressed like an art teacher?

[Host/News Anchor]

Farmers in financial crisis.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

And of course, there is the unreleased Epstein file. Yes, and you don't want those Epstein files released. Whoopi, there's going to be a lot of people on there that you know. Next. Kaitlan Collins calling out Hakeem Jeffries. They're turning on their own take away. Female Bruno San Martino. Roll it.

[Host/News Anchor]

Said that Mike Johnson's not willing to sit down, have a conversation. Y' all did have a phone conversation, I believe you said earlier today. Who. Who initiated that call? Was that you, or was that Speaker Johnson?

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

It was a call from Mike Johnson. It was very brief.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

So he said that there's no. There's no way to work things out and that they don't want to talk. Then Caitlin Collins said, but you said that. Play for the minute. She said, but you talked to him. Who called who? He called me. So. So he. He admits the Republicans are trying to make progress. He looks so gray and unhealthy. You know, there's. I'm not a doctor, even if I was a doctor, you can't diagnose somebody from. By eyesight. Having said that, that is not a good color. That grayish hue is usually not a good sign. Play from the beginning.

[Host/News Anchor]

Said that Mike Johnson's not willing to sit down, have a conversation. Y' all did have a phone conversation, I believe you said earlier today.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Pause. You said, Mike Johnson isn't willing to have a phone conversation. But then you said earlier in this interview that you had a phone conversation. Who initiated? He did. Okay, so he just kicked the legs out for your whole argument on CNN that's supposed to be in your corner. Continue call.

[Host/News Anchor]

Was that you or was that Speaker Johnson?

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

It was a call from Mike Johnson. It was very brief and it wasn't a substantive discussion in terms of finding a path forward.

[Host/News Anchor]

But was he calling to talk about the government shutdown?

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

I mean, you could say that that was in the ballpark, but, you know, it was a private conversation that will remain private. However, nothing meaningful.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Obviously, he was calling to talk about. I guarantee that's the only anybody knows that that's the only reason he called. I'm guessing you and Mike Johnson don't hang out in your personal time. He was calling to ask you if you've had the new habanero wings from Wingstop or whatever. He's calling you. You're Hakeem Jeffries, a liberal Democrat. He's Mike Johnson, the Louisiana Republican. You have nothing in common other than to talk about. You're the head rep for the Dems and he's the head rep for the Republicans. So you're a liar and very gray.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

Continue out of it again because Donald Trump has not given Mike Johnson permission to enter into a bipartisan negotiation. Caitlin. I mean, House Republicans have been literally on vacation for the last five weeks.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

He called you.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

They've canceled votes five consecutive weeks in a row. They are uninterested in doing anything other than than jamming their partisan Republican spending bill down the throats of the American people. And as Democrats, we've made clear we will not support a partisan Republican spending bill that continues.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

You're going to support it.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

Of the American people, period, full stop.

Next, Tucker Carlson leads growing movement to detach from Israel. But what is the US getting for 3.8? I think it's 38 billion here. What do we give Israel? I don't think it's 3.8. I think it's 38. How much money does the United States officially give to Israel in aid? Is it 38 billion or around 38 billion a year?

[Host/News Anchor]

So right now it's a bit above the standard 3.8 billion annual commitment that's been in place under the.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Okay, so it's 3.8 a year. So everybody that freaks out about how why do we send money to Israel, it's barely any. It's like less than the cost of the four transgender youth centers we were building under the Biden regime. And we get a bunch of stuff in return. Like I'll give you. I don't know if this guy's going to cover this, but I'll give you just one off the top of chat GPT's head 20 words or less. What percentage of technology does Israel build for the United States military?

[Host/News Anchor]

In short, roughly 5 to 10% of some US military tech components have Israeli input.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

So there you go. So it's not like it's like they're doing nothing and well, it's only 5 or 10%. You know, we have like a zillion jets and warships. So. So we. And that's one thing. So here's the rest. Tucker Carlson says the U S Israeli alliance is deeply destructive, humiliating, geopolitically insignificant. He's calling to cut Israel loose critics echo 3.8 billion a year welfare state but what does America actually get in return? Let's count dollar for dollar General Alexander Haig Israel is the largest American Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk and doesn't even carry one American soldier. So you get it's worth it just to have the fact that you have a nation the size of New Jersey in the dead center of the Middle east to land and hold your bases. Ford class carrier 13 billion to build 2.5 billion a year to operate Israel's version zero troops, zero fuel so you understand an aircraft carrier is 13 billion to build. So that's what, four times, three and a half times the cost of what we send to Israel just if we had to replace them with one aircraft carrier. And it's two and a half billion to operate an aircraft carrier every year. Continue Israeli intel Israel gives us more Israel gives us more military intelligence than all of NATO combined. Israel's intel to the US Is more productive than all NATO countries combined. Iran nuclear archive heist Save billions Trains US Special ops Fewer casualties Cyber drills versus Iran Next battle tested tech cheaper and Faster Israel spends 4.5% of its GDP on research and development US gets results without footing the full cost Anti drone tech next $50 billion in trade mostly US exports 0% Israeli tariffs so we send them 3.8 billion in exchange for 0% tariffs keep going. All aid money comes right back. 3.8 billion in aid 70 to 100% spent on US weapons 20,000 plus direct defense jobs 255,000 total US jobs supported next Israeli investment 25 billion in US economy 25 billion Israeli FDI tens of thousands of US workers top foreign tech source on NASDAQ Shared R and D hubs all cyber quantum flow to the US continue. Israel is Israel and America first issue if 3.8 billion buys an unsinkable carrier. NATO beating Intel, 255,000 US jobs and 50 billion in trade then is detaching from Israel really America first? Little thought for all the Jew haters out there that have never thought things through. Next. Calls are now getting louder for Democrat Representative Jim Hines to resign for seemingly threatening MAGA that a future Democrat president will use the military to kill Trump supporters because 47 is killing narco terrorists. What a gross comment. Roll it. They're not terrorists.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

They may be drug runners. We don't know that. But just because you call.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Why is this jackass sticking up for for the guys in the boat? They're not terrorists. They might be drug runners. Wouldn't you don't consider it terrorism to introduce fentanyl into a. Into a country? What a fool. Wish I could tell him to his face. If I see him in Washington D.C. i'll be happy to play from the beginning. They're not terrorists. They may be drug runners.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

We don't know that for sure.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Pause. You do know it for sure. They're on a boat with drugs running. It's on video, you freaking idiot. One more time from the beginning. They're not terrorists. They may be drug runners.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

We don't know that for sure. But just because you call somebody a terrorist. We call lots of people terrorists.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Doesn't mean that the military is authorized to go after them.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

And if no other reason. And look, I talked to an awful lot of people who, despite the fact that this is illegal, are comfortable with lethal action against purported maybe cartel members. You know, where does it stop?

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

I'm Rodney Williams. And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the Wealth Break. Let's be honest, building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle and relying on your community to create something bigger. And that's exactly why we created the Wealth Break. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles and real wins. We're here to talk about the journey. You're hearing from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed, and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business, we're bringing you their stories. And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities, like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same. So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place. Listen to the Wealth Break podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Time is precious and so are our pets. So time with our pets is extra precious. That's why we started Dutch.

I thought I was getting a better deal because it's so big. If you want a better clean, Tide pods are only 12% water. The rest is pure, concentrated cleaning ingredients.

Oh, let me make an announcement. Attention shoppers, if you want a real deal, try Tide pods.

We know that Mamdani does want to tax the rich more. Bring it up about 2%. He can't do that on his own. You've previously said that you wouldn't be raising taxes.

[Host/News Anchor]

No. I will say one energetic rally does not get me to change my position.

Hey, just a heads up, if you go to get veneers, they can pick. You can pick any size teeth you don't have to get. Like racehorse teeth. Holy moly. It's nothing but teeth. You could turn the lights off and still find her. Continue.

[Host/News Anchor]

But I do hear people's voices. I process what everybody says. But I also have to balance governing this state and making sure that those people who are actually the reason we have a generous supportive budget that helps lift people up, it's their revenues.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Sivan, for some reason on the app, wrote, what's the worst hand in poker? It's seven. Two off suit is statistically the worst stand in poker. Followed by 8. 3. Offshoot. Continue.

[Host/News Anchor]

Tax. 1.5% of New Yorkers cover about a third of our budget. That's enormous. I'm concerned about outmigration of people who are the ones who are supporting our budget. I cannot make up for that with middle class tax increases. I cannot do that to the middle class and the struggling New Yorkers. So this is the balance.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

That's great. Now go eat a whole apple. Next. The Trump administration has reportedly authorized strikes on Venezuela. Now, it's not just trafficking boats, Venezuelan military sites. With the attacks expected to begin anytime. I'm guessing when he met with Chi Chi said, go for it, because China is there. Cuba. What Cuba was to Russia in the 60s, Venezuela is to China. It's their headquarters over here by us. And I guarantee you, you heard Xi said, I'm going to work to stop the distribution of fentanyl in America. This is part of it. This is where it's getting run in from. So part of what they're saying was if these negotiations go bad, China is going to take it as an act of war that we're attacking Venezuela. But apparently they work things out. And she said go ahead and blow them off the map. And I think that's what's going to happen to a degree right now. Next, in a massive development, the Ohio Redistricting Commission passes new 2026 congressional map that adds two Republican seats and takes away two Democrat seats. Looks like it. So this is huge. This is a Republican +4 net shift for the US House of Representatives next November. This could seal the deal and secure Trump's trifecta for the next 24 months of his presidency. Next. What a mic drop from Scott Besant. Roll it.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Look, he's, he's the leader of the Democratic talking points. He's shut down the government, which is an international and embarrassment. And where were they? The Democrats for the first two years had the trifecta. They had the presidency, they had the House, they had the Senate. And what did they do? They did squat. They did squat, they wrote papers, they talked a lot. Nothing got done. And not only did we inherit a gigantic deficit, we inherited a deficit of action on all of these problems. And during COVID Covid was the beta test for what happens. China proved itself to be an unreliable partner during COVID and everyone should have taken that as all hands on deck. And instead the Democrats were busy blowing out the spending, sending money for, you know, the transgender surgery.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

You'll feel right at home.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

For Representative Jeffries to even say anything is really disingenuous. And he knows better, but he can't say better. That's the problem with today's Democratic Party. They're a hive. They have one set of talking points. They can't move away from them.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

You know, three brave Democrats senators have.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Come across the aisle to reopen the government. I'm Calling on five more to come across. Reopen the government before Thanksgiving because as we can see, Newark Airport, Reagan airport, air traffic controllers are going out. And you know, what if there's an accident? What if there's an accident due to the shutdown, it is going to lie. With the Democrats.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Laura INGRAM with the RBF, Republican senators.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Have voted to reopen the government. Three Democratic senators have 52 to three.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Laura, great job, Mr. Bessant. Hope you run for president next. Montreal, November 17th through the 21st. While it's still legal to preach Monday at 7:00pm, Tuesday to Friday, 10:00am and 7:00pm I would encourage every Canadian Christian to be at those meetings. Next. The Supreme Court has officially cleared President Trump to speed up deportations of illegal immigrants. This is huge. Roll it now.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

We have a FOX News alert. The Supreme Court just cleared the way for Trump to deport illegals even faster. The high court ruled that Trump can use the Alien Enemies act to send Venezuela gang bangers to a mega prison in El Salvador. This is a huge ruling in Trump's favor and a major win for the country after, as you know, D.C. judge James Boasberg ordered a stop.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Of course he did. By looking at him.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

So this is how you get these deportations. Caroline can keep going.

[Host/News Anchor]

This is a massive legal victory, Jesse, a massive victory for law and order and for our constitutional republic and the sovereignty of the United States of America. We called on the Supreme Court to rein in these activist judges like Judge Boasberg, who was completely out of line in trying to say that the president didn't have the executive authority to deport foreign terrorists off of our soil. We have always maintained the position at the White House that the president was well within his constitutional authority to do so. And this decision proves that President Trump and our administration have always been right from the beginning. He will continue to utilize the Alien Enemies act to remove foreign terrorists and trend members, vicious gang members from American communities. And because of this ruling, the United States of America is a much safer place. Our team will get to work tomorrow to deport these heinous, violent foreign terrorists from our neighborhoods.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

And you had another couple critical wins in the court with regard to Doge. Tell us about those that seems to be making progress.

[Host/News Anchor]

Yes, absolutely. There have been many wins that the mainstream media has failed to cover, particularly over the weekend. The Supreme Court also ruled that the president does, in fact have the authority over federal funding, that he can dictate what funds can go out the door and what so long as they are part of the executive branch. So we have always again maintained that every executive order the President has signed, every executive action that he has taken has been well within his executive authority. And Doge is doing a tremendous job at cutting back at the waste and the fraud and the abuse that have been ripping off American taxpayers that have not been aligned with our interests here in our country. So we're going to continue the President's agenda. Again, he's well within his constitutional authority and it's great to see the Supreme Court reining in these act activist judges who are wearing robes but are acting as judicial activists, not as real judges and real arbiters of the law.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

All right. Lawyers. Wrong. I can't believe a lawyer would ever be wrong. It just, just amazes me. They think they're always right. I guess not this time. Sorry, Boasberg. We love you, but we're sorry. Caroline. Thank you.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Next. Ben Kendall, folks. This is the 18 year old on the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins are the oldest team in the NHL. Last year year they did nothing to improve in the off season. Next to nothing. They were expected to maybe contend for last place and people thought they might be doing it on purpose because there's a, there's like a generational talent coming up in the draft this year and they are number one in the NHL, folks. And they won again last night. And here's the 18 year old with his fourth goal. Roll it.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Number 18 missed the net. Malkin punched it wide. It's loose in front.

[Host/News Anchor]

Roll it. So you say that Republicans are being cruel. But, but it's also true that you just have to vote yes and four other Democratic senators have to vote yes.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

And the government will be reopened.

[Host/News Anchor]

And Elizabeth and 800,000 constituents of yours in New Jersey will at least in the short term, not go without food.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Next 2013. Obama talks about how incredibly irresponsible it would be for Congress to shut down the government in order to blackmail a president into making concessions. Roll it.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

If Republicans do not like the law.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

They can go through the regular channels.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

So they can go through the normal processes and procedures of a democracy, but you do not threaten the full faith and credit of the United States of.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

America shutting down the government just because you don't like a law that was passed. I have to say no Congress before.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

This one has ever, ever history been irresponsible enough to threaten an economic shutdown, to suggest America not pay its bills.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

Just to try to blackmail a president.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Into giving them some concessions.

[Rodney Williams or Travis Holloway (Wealth Break Podcast Hosts)]

I will not negotiate on anything.

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

When it comes to the full faith and credit of the United States of America, we're not going to submit to this kind of total irresponsibility. Congress needs to pay our bills on time. Congress needs to pass a budget on time. Congress needs to put an end to governing from crisis to crisis.

Important problem. There's enough innovation here to avoid super bad outcomes. We won't achieve our best goal, the 1.5 or even the 2 degrees. And as we go about trying to minimize that, we have to frame it in terms of overall human welfare, not just. Just everything should be solely for climate. Critics are already saying that you know.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

How huge that is. $1.5 trillion that they spent on record, let alone all the propaganda to alter and control the weather. And they're bailing on it. The Trump victory last year was a wrecking ball to every globalist policy continue.

[Host/News Anchor]

That climate change efforts hurt foreign aid for the poor, that it's an either or proposition. Do you hear in what he says a reframing from someone who has been a force in the climate change field?

[Commentator/Political Analyst]

Yeah, it's very disappointing. And frankly, Bill Gates doesn't have any expertise in climate science and he's failing to listen to what the experts actually have to say. And we're seeing it play out in real time right here. You know, disastrous climate change is not far off in the future. It's not 1.5 Celsius, it's not 2 Celsius as he suggests. It's here. And the question is, how bad are we willing to let it get? And if we continue to warm the planet beyond that level of warming, we will exceed our adaptive capacity. And so when Bill Gates says we'll just sort of try to engineer our way out of it or innovate our way out of it, it's really tone deaf to the fact that there are a very large number of people who will suffer catastrophic consequences if we continue to allow the planet to warm up by continuing to burn fossil fuels. And I wish that Bill Gates would use the platform that he has to urge politicians and policymakers to help us transition away.

[Steve Edmond (Check the News Host)]

Agreed.

Do these idiot religious leaders know it's possible to give to the poor directly without involving the government distribution system, which is what they're conflating. Christians don't. Christians don't want the government open because they don't actually care about the poor.
