Barbara Boyd opens with diesel: as Ukraine’s strikes on Russian refineries tighten the world’s supply, President Trump threatened to halt U.S. diesel exports unless Europe released its emergency stocks, and the G7 agreed to release 100 million barrels. She presents it as the opening move of a 35-day economic offensive running into the midterms. The week of action includes Trump’s visit to the Peterbilt truck plant in Denton, Texas, where employee Sarah Renshaw credited tariffs for 1,000 new jobs; his Oklahoma rally; a White House luncheon with tech leaders on superintelligence; what the White House calls the largest steel plant ever built in the United States, coming to Iowa; Vice President Vance at the groundbreaking of Saronic’s Port Alpha shipyard in Brownsville, Texas; and South Korea’s plans for an Alaska LNG pipeline, a 6-gigawatt power plant in Texas and eight nuclear reactors. On affordability, the episode walks through price increases under Biden (energy up 33% from January 2021 to January 2025), Vice President Vance on the inflation crisis he says the administration inherited, refining capacity, housing regulation and immigration, Secretary Kennedy at the MAHA Summit on AI giving every patient a better-informed second opinion, and the White House fraud task force’s crackdown on Obamacare enrollments. It closes with Michael Shellenberger’s account of the student riots in France, French intelligence tying the movement to Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s France Unbowed (LFI), and NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman on a new golden age of space exploration.

We Don’t Want to Change Our Clocks Twice a Year Act
I don’t know about anyone else, but a table full of very distinguished people just told me that they HATE, immediately after a mandatory time change, going home at night – and it’s DARK. It’s depressing! One of the gentleman stated that, “I just hate going home in darkness.” It’s also, in Crime Ridden Blue States, a lot more dangerous to be walking home in the dark!
Everybody in Arkansas, Tom Cotton, a friend of mine, is holding up a very important Bill. It’s called, “The Sunshine Protection Act” or, “We Don’t Want to Change Our Clocks Twice a Year Act.” For some reason, Tom is stopping the Bill and, in the Senate, it’s very easy to do, it only takes one! It should pass overwhelmingly, in a Bipartisan fashion. So, everyone in Arkansas, a State I love, and won 3 times, the last by by 34 points, tell Tom to, GET IT DONE! It will be appreciated by all. Nobody wants to spend their precious time running all over the place, turning Clocks back twice a year and, having sunshine in the afternoon is better than early in the morning! The PGA TOUR, as an example, needs more Daylight in the afternoon in order to finish their Tournaments. Likewise, regular Golfers, Tennis Players, Hunters and, perhaps most importantly, Farmers who want more Daylight to play or work. See letter from Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA TOUR below. 65% PLUS want more sun in the afternoon, Daylight Saving Time (The way it is now!), but 100% don’t want to change their Clocks twice a year. They want to, as they say, “LOCK THE CLOCK!” Who doesn’t? It’s very expensive for our Nation where you have high and dangerous steeples to reach, like on churches and municipal buildings. Almost everybody wants “The Sunshine Protection Act” to pass, except for Tom Cotton. To the Great People of Arkansas, please let your Senator know it would be a GREAT Bipartisan WIN for the United States Senate, and for America, itself. Call Tom on his cellphone at, 479-453-0533, and let him know. “The Sunshine Protection Act” was passed in the House by a Vote of 308 to 117. HAVE THE SENATE VOTE, NOW!

Marc Elias is hopping mad that the Georgia Elections Board asked for the U.S. DOJ Civil Rights Division to help the State of Georgia in the upcoming Midterm Elections.
Marc screeches — that’s a violation of federalism.
No it’s not, Marc. The State *voluntarily* asked for help so that is federalism in action. And when California cooperated with a captured DOJ Civil Rights Division, we didn’t hear boo from you.
I’m sorry that the lock your side has had in running a captured DOJ Civil Rights Division, which in season and out of season acted like a wing of the Democrat Party has been ended. Or at least is in retreat now.
Go cry in a beer stein from the Yard House.

NEW EPISODE: Weeks before the midterms, election deniers on Georgia's election board quietly asked Trump's DOJ to intervene. I break down the excuses in the letter and why it fits Trump's long obsession with controlling how Georgia's votes are counted. https://t.co/u4vB8LYTKB

Restarting Jeb Boasberg’s Criminal Contempt Case Against the Trump DOJ
This is the same court that allowed Judge Emmet Sullivan’s personal prosecution of Gen Flynn to continue indefinitely after the DOJ dropped the charges.
As I’ve said many times, once a case has even the slightest connection to Trump, the law, the facts, the quality of the arguments, and the caliber of the lawyers making them all become totally irrelevant. The outcome is determined solely by which judges are assigned to the case.
Hans Mahncke
Often pounding on the dias to emphasize her point and raising her voice, Millett badgered assistant attorney general for civil division Brett Shumate about the government’s opposition to Boasberg’s witch hunt.
Here, Millett raised unsubstantiated allegations by a so-called DOJ whistleblower who alleged then acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove said DOJ might have to say “f you” to the courts in immigration matters—knowing, of course, activist judges would do precisely what they’ve been doing.
Keep in mind—Bove is now Millett’s colleague on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. She is suggesting Bove could be investigated by Boasberg WHICH IS INSANE. (But also what Boasberg wants as well.)
But not only is she slamming her colleague on baseless accusations, Millett misrepresented his alleged comment.
Even if he said it—the FU was not directly tied to Boasberg’s “oral command” to return planes on March 15.
This is just a taste of what the administration is up against in DC courthouse.
Give it a listen.

He Saved Our Nation’s Military
… advance the racist, sexist, xenophobic, bigoted policies of DEI.I'm sure many of you are familiar with the famous Tweet below.
— Cynical Publius (@CynicalPublius) October 2, 2026
That Tweet serves to explain why Pete Hegseth is so despised by so many.
Under Obama and Biden, we were perilously close to our nation's military turning into an armed force whose primary purpose was to promote and… https://t.co/4XNBULjBU3
DEI is just another form of Communism. It's a policy designed to fracture society along Frankfurt School lines of hate so that the Communists (a/k/a "Democrats") can achieve and maintain power.
Transforming America's most respected institution into yet another purveyor of race hatred was their ultimate goal--it would have resulted in total victory for their side.
We were THAT close to losing it all.
Then Trump got elected, appointed the right man to serve as Secretary of War, and ever since Hegseth has been taking a wrecking ball to their DEI fever dream.
Hegseth is the most important and consequential SecDef/War in any of our lifetimes.
I just explained why the insane hatred for Hegseth is so disturbingly deep and profound.
All I can say is this: God bless Pete Hegseth and the way he has saved our nation's military.
His Wife Asked the Police, “Am I a Patient or Am I a Prisoner”

Powerful testimony at Sen. Ron Johnson’s hearing on COVID hospital protocols.
Doctors told him his wife Gail was “unsalvageable.” Her lungs were permanently damaged. He should prepare for her death.
He… pic.twitter.com/4Roda4H3kG
When Gail, conscious and asking to leave, tried to go home with her husband, hospital administrators called LAW ENFORCEMENT. What should have been a discharge turned into a SIX HOUR STAND OFF!
His wife asked the police, “am I a patient or am I a prisoner?!”
Eventually, he got his wife out.
As they left, a nurse told him: “Mark my words, she’ll be dead tonight, or before you even get home.”
Instead, Gail went home. With guidance from Dr. Richard Bartlett, her family cared for her using ivermectin, antibiotics, vitamins and supportive care.
Within 48 hours, her oxygen needs dropped dramatically.
Within 30 days, she was completely off oxygen.
Within 60 days, she was back at work.
Today, Gail is alive, healthy and spending time with her children and grandchildren.
Her husband went into that hospital and fought to bring his wife home because he knew leaving her there was more dangerous than taking responsibility for her care himself.
