    Amy Kremer, chairwoman of Humans First and a founder of the Tea Party movement, joins Jake to discuss a new nationwide campaign opposing AI data center expansion. Kremer argues tech corporations are encroaching on local communities and forcing residents to shoulder infrastructure costs against their will. Meta has settled a major federal case with a coalition of 29 state attorneys general over allegations the company misrepresented the mental health harms its apps cause children. Zack Smith of the Heritage Foundation joins to break down what happens next. Florida has proposed abolishing school vaccine mandates for four vaccines, chickenpox, Hepatitis B, Hib and pneumococcal, while expanding religious exemptions. Katie Asher joins to discuss. Judge Andrew Napolitano joins for a three part roundup: a fresh warning on the nation's debt, a trial date finally set for the mastermind of the September 11 attacks, and a new New Jersey law that criminalizes interference with reproductive healthcare providers. A federal judge appointed by former President Obama has been forced to lift her nationwide injunction against President Trump's mail in ballot security order after the Supreme Court rejected her earlier block. Kaelan Deese of the Washington Examiner joins with the latest. This week marked five years since the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Ryan Morgan of The Epoch Times, who attended Wednesday's Pentagon anniversary event, joins with what he saw.

    Dolly Parton, Brent Sadler, Moscow C-17

    Jake opens the show asking whether Canada is really an innocent victim in the tariff fight, or a protectionist economy playing both sides. Canada keeps its own tariff barriers on U.S. steel, aluminum, and vehicles that do not meet CUSMA content rules.Provincial liquor control boards restrict U.S. wine, beer, and spirits from reaching Canadian shelves.Canada's supply management system props up dairy, chicken, turkey, and egg prices with tariffs as high as 245 percent on cheese and 298 percent on butter.The Special Milk Class Permit Program discounts milk components for Canadian processors competing against U.S. imports.More than half of Canadian cable and streaming content must be Canadian under CRTC rules, a mandate expanded by the 2023 Online Streaming Act. Jake and his panelist dig into why CIA Director John Ratcliffe reportedly tried to slip into Russia aboard a military transport plane, and what it signals about Putin's escalating threats against NATO. Putin's threats against NATO and member countries have been increasing.The panel asks whether Iran sanctions, and the possibility of new Russia sanctions, were part of the discussion. Audio courtesy of WDIV Detroit sets up a conversation about an unexpected side effect of the GLP-1 weight loss boom: marriages under strain. GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are delivering real medical benefits as more people lose significant weight.Divorce attorney Liz Bass says she is seeing a surge of divorces tied directly to patients on GLP-1 drugs.The panel asks whether some patients are unprepared for becoming more desirable to the opposite sex after losing weight. The show pays tribute to two losses in the entertainment world this week. Earlier in the week the country lost Coach and The Donna Reed Show star Shelley Fabares. Yesterday the country lost Dolly Parton, an American treasure. In an era when fame and fortune often create distance between a star and the public, Dolly never acted special or privileged.Jake says with certainty there will never be another star quite like her. Captain Brent Sadler joins to unpack new video and flight data confirming a U.S. military transport landed in Moscow, plus what a possible resumption of military strikes could mean and what lessons the country should carry from September 11 as its 25th anniversary approaches. Video captured a U.S. military transport plane landing at Moscow's Vnukovo airport Tuesday; the Kremlin reportedly claimed no knowledge of the flight.Flightradar24 data shows the Boeing C-17A Globemaster III left Joint Base Andrews for Riga, Latvia, before continuing to Moscow.The last direct U.S. registered flight to Russia from Europe came in January, when envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump's son in law Jared Kushner met Putin in Moscow, according to Reuters.The Department of War and the Kremlin stayed tight lipped about the trip.Marco Rubio raised the possibility of resuming military strikes; the panel asks how likely that is, or whether targeted attacks will be needed to finish off the regime.Sadler gives his assessment of what is being called Economic D-Day.With the 25th anniversary of September 11 just 14 days away, the panel asks how the attacks reshaped American foreign policy, national security, and immigration enforcement, and how policymakers should respond to candidates who claim the U.S. deserved the attacks.According to Israeli officials, Iranian agents were in the country in December and tried to kill Benjamin Netanyahu's son in Miami. Dr. Paul Mueller joins to explain why almost no one likes a $40 trillion deficit, yet nothing gets done about it. U.S. national debt has passed a record $40 trillion, a milestone that reveals real vulnerabilities for the U.S. and global economy.Debt first reached $1 trillion in 1941, then more than doubled from $20 trillion in 2017 to today's total over the past nine years.The debt is projected to grow by $2.1 trillion in fiscal year 2026 alone.Washington's inability to control the deficit stems in part from political incentives; cutting spending or raising taxes tends to be punished by voters.Mandatory spending on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid consumes almost two thirds of the federal budget, and that share is set to grow as the median American age climbs from 35.6 in 2001 to 39.4 in 2025.If the country wants fiscal hawks on Capitol Hill, Jake says voters need to send them there. Ammon Blair joins to explain what Mexican cartels have to do with the price of a basic family staple. Ground beef averaged $6.89 per pound in July, while steak hit a record $13.06 per pound.Cartels are infiltrating Mexico's cattle industry by extorting ranchers, stealing livestock, corrupting records, and using fraudulent paperwork and black market cattle tags.The USDA estimates roughly 800,000 cattle are smuggled from Central America into Mexico each year, creating an illicit market worth about $320 million.The U.S. cattle herd has fallen by roughly 8.5 million head since 2019, tightening supply and pushing prices higher at the grocery store.Blair warns that as Mexican cattle imports reopen, fraudulent records also create a biosecurity risk, particularly amid New World Screwworm concerns.The Trump Administration announced last week it is reopening Mexico imports of ground beef; the panel asks what dangers come with that decision. Judge Glock returns to react to the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and Canada and to explain the Treasury's debt buyback operations. The panel revisits whether Canada is really an innocent victim in the tariff war, and whether the country is protectionist, socialist, or both.Could Canada strike a serious trade deal with the EU, or could China fill any void the U.S. leaves behind?Glock explains the Treasury's decision to double the size of some debt buyback operations to at least $4 billion.The panel asks whether bond market volatility is a real concern, what separates long term and short term debt, and whether there is any improvement in housing.When will Washington start prioritizing the deficit? Jonathan Dever joins to look at the Justice Department's newly launched fraud unit and what a ghost payroll actually is. The Justice Department announced the launch of the National Fraud Detection Center, a prosecutor led, multi agency team built to investigate the most harmful actors defrauding federal programs.DOJ says the center is necessary because agencies have lacked the ability to see fraud occurring across multiple programs, letting the same bad actors exploit several taxpayer funded systems undetected.Dever argues outright criminal fraud is only part of the problem; government does not have to send money to a fake recipient for taxpayers to lose when billions are budgeted for positions, programs, and systems that are not producing what the public was promised.What exactly is a ghost payroll?Your News Talk America with Jake Smith Broadcast weekdays on The Talk of Delmarva (92.7 and 98.5) and streaming online at WGMD.com and RealNewsTalk.com.

    Lindsay Clancy Trial, Iran's Economic D Day, Netanyahu's Assassination Claim | Your News Talk America Dr. Graceffo and Dr. James Robbins Join Jake on YNTA

    Your News Talk America - Real News Talk Your voice, your choice. realnewstalk.com Lindsay Clancy was back in court Monday for the fifth week of her high profile murder trial for strangling her three young children. Closing arguments could begin as early as this week, with jury deliberations potentially starting soon after. A psychiatric nurse practitioner who treated Clancy in late 2022 testified this week that the Massachusetts mother repeatedly asked to change her medications despite concerns about sticking to a treatment plan. Rebecca Jollotta, of South Shore Hospital's perinatal behavioral health program, said Clancy sought near daily changes to a plan treating her anxiety, depression, and insomnia, citing intrusive thoughts, insomnia, and numbness, and expressing fear about becoming dependent on benzodiazepines. Prosecutors are currently presenting a rebuttal case to counter defense testimony that Clancy should not be held criminally responsible because she was allegedly in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and hearing voices when she killed her children. On Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced sweeping new sanctions against Iran dubbed Operation Economic Outcast. Bessent said Treasury has mapped every node, facilitator, and network Iran uses to smuggle oil and evade sanctions, and that the new actions will cut off potential sources of revenue for the IRGC and the regime. He added there will be no room for the regime to rebuild its capacity to fund terror, and that any nation still financing Iran's ambitions is making a mistake. How effective will these actions be, and how do they differ from decades of previous sanctions on Iran? Is the Trump administration willing to confront Russia and China over their business ties with Iran? China says its cooperation with Iran should not be disrupted, with a foreign ministry spokesperson saying Beijing will take necessary measures to safeguard its own rights and interests. Separately, the United States on Monday formally removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, a move Secretary of State Marco Rubio said clears the final major barrier to investment and economic recovery in the country. What about last week's Israeli strike in northern Syria? Has that complicated the agreement? Canada is set to announce details of retaliatory tariffs against the US on Tuesday, after relations between the two countries deteriorated sharply Monday. President Donald Trump warned Canadian leaders to fall in line or face consequences far worse than existing tariffs, while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accused the US government of trying to subordinate Canada. The US imposed new 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods including wine, furniture, and dairy, while Carney said US trade demands proved Washington wants to weaken major Canadian industries including autos, steel, and aluminum. Trump also threatened new 50 percent tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel beginning January 1, 2027. Canada has already cozied up to Beijing, and now threatens closer ties with the EU. Canadians have stopped buying American bourbon. Should US consumers respond in kind? What is the reaction to Operation Economic Outcast? Iran's currency is now essentially worthless, with the rial dropping to a record low of more than 2 million rial to the dollar. Would Israel step in with humanitarian support, as it has in Gaza? In a striking revelation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Iran tried to assassinate one of his sons. Netanyahu made the comments in a call with Channel 14 military correspondent Noam Amir, without saying which son was targeted or providing further detail. Separately, billboards in Tehran have reportedly named Barron Trump as a target. Following last week's Israeli strike in northern Syria, roughly 45 miles from the Turkish border, the Trump administration has reportedly tried to broker an agreement between Erdogan and Netanyahu to lower tensions. How likely is that to hold? The Houthis have resurfaced. Houthi Deputy Foreign Minister Abdulwahid Abu Ras warned countries against participating in US sanctions on Iran, urging them not to become tools of what he called unjust measures against the Iranian people. Does Israel get involved to confront the Houthis? Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Carrie Filipetti, now executive director of the Vandenberg Coalition, says Vladimir Putin is panicked and gets anxious when put in a corner as the war intensifies. What is the latest from what some are calling the forgotten war? Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries continue, triggering gasoline rationing in Russia while India ships gasoline to Moscow. The war continues to escalate, with lethal Ukrainian drone strikes hitting oil facilities deep inside Russian territory. Two people died and several were wounded when drones struck the Afipski refinery in the Krasnodar region and another refinery in the Rostov region, underscoring the threat to energy infrastructure as the war grinds on. Can you describe the recent Russian attacks on Kyiv? Is Putin now targeting Ukrainian shopping centers rather than military assets? Ukraine's Independence Day fell on Saturday. Was there a renewed sense of unifying spirit to keep fighting? Beyond the war itself, NATO and Europe remain heavily dependent on the United States. Ukraine's air defense is running short of Patriot interceptors, and Europe has not been able to close the gap on its own. President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Ukraine has only about a tenth of the interceptors it needs from the United States. Chatham House reports the Ukraine Contact Group of European states pledged $4 billion for Ukrainian air defense in June 2026, including more than $1 billion earmarked for Patriots, but it remains doubtful the United States will supply the missiles. Europe does not build the Patriot system itself, and analysts estimate it would take 18 to 24 months to establish even a pilot production line domestically The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for President Trump's executive order restricting mail in voting to move forward ahead of the midterms, lifting a lower court injunction in a 6 to 3 decision along ideological lines. The order does not decide the underlying legality of the president's plan, and further legal challenges are expected before November. How important is this decision, and how much does it help ensure a free and fair election if national voter ID requirements remain unresolved? Separately, how significant a problem is noncitizen voting in US elections? A Chinese national was arrested for allegedly casting a fraudulent ballot in the 2024 presidential election by impersonating a lawful permanent resident, then reporting the victim to federal authorities for illegally voting.

    FBI Data Shows Biggest Crime Drop in a Century, Israel Warns Turkey Over a Syria Red Line, the $40 Trillion Deficit No One Will Touch | Your News Talk America

    Joseph Vazquez is a Business Associate Editor in the News Analysis Division at the Media Research Center. He joins Jake for the first two segments to run the worst media quotes of the week and to break down how the press spins inflation and slants its coverage. Joe Scarborough called ICE agents Nazi shock troops gunning down Americans on MS NOW's Morning Joe, August 13.John Oliver mocked Ronald Reagan as the Forrest Gump of societal ills on HBO's Last Week Tonight, August 16.Rosie O'Donnell, guest hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live, likened Trump's return to bringing back fascism and the measles, August 18.A tale of two inflation rates, and the media spinmasters who decide which one you hear about.An MRC study finds Apple and Google push news outlets that have not backed a Republican in the last 10 elections, a 31 to 0 tilt toward Democrats.The double standard on labels: the press freely calls Republicans Nazis but will not call the Democratic left communist. Brandon Arnold of the National Taxpayers Union joins Jake on a crisis both parties keep dodging. Nobody likes a $40 trillion deficit, but nobody is doing anything about it. Why is this crippling debt almost absent from the political conversation?What are the early signs that ordinary Americans will start to feel the squeeze?Does the road end at Medicare for all? Author Joe Hoft joins Jake, revisiting Jake's 2022 monologue on the FBI and asking whether anything has really changed. Has Kash Patel actually cleaned up the bureau? Joe Hoft says no.Is the FBI withholding documents tied to the Seth Rich case, and what questions remain about his death?FBI agents confronted former Congressman Eric Swalwell and, with a warrant, seized his personal electronic devices at San Francisco International Airport.How many corrupt FBI agents have actually been convicted so far? Dr. John Marshall Callahan of the Institute of World Politics joins Jake on whether Russia, China, and Iran have formed a new axis, and whether America is fighting the same enemy on several fronts. Iranian weapons are turning up in the war against Ukraine.Drone warfare has exploded, and it is far easier to wage war with a drone than to defend against one.How worried should we be about the tension between NATO and Russia?How does the economic war now being waged against Iran differ from ordinary sanctions Zack Smith of the Heritage Foundation joins Jake on striking new FBI numbers and the justice questions behind them. New FBI data show violent crime fell 9.3 percent and murders dropped 18.1 percent in 2025, the largest one year decline in nearly a century. What is driving it, and can it last?Where is the deterrence when many high crime cities still run turnstile justice?What to make of the FBI seizing Eric Swalwell's electronics at San Francisco International Airport.A South Carolina officer was arrested for illegally accessing Flock traffic camera data. Should the public be concerned?The lawfare against President Trump and his administration from Obama and Biden appointed judges, and a stalled confirmation process for US attorneys. EJ Kimball of the US Israel Education Association joins Jake as elections in both the United States and Israel could reshape the Middle East. Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter told The Jerusalem Post that Israel had clear intelligence that Turkey intended to expand its military presence in Syria, a move Jerusalem called crossing a red line.We are not seeking war with Turkey or Syria, Leiter said, but a red line was crossed.Israel keeps striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Is it degrading the Iranian proxy?Reports say President Trump chose to widen the economic war on Iran rather than resume military operations. How are DSA candidates' promises to abandon Israel landing on Capitol Hill and in Jerusalem? Jeff Crouere joins Jake on what a Democratic House majority would mean in January. If Democrats win the House in November, another Trump impeachment is all but inevitable, though conviction and removal are far murkier.Crouere expects impeachment used mainly as political theater, as in Trump's first term.Republicans could face far more treacherous political waters in the back half of the second term. JP De Gance of Communio joins Jake on new Stanford research and the real cost of trading human connection for artificial company. Stanford researchers find that as more people lean on AI chatbots for friendship and emotional support, vulnerable users can end up lonelier and worse off.De Gance argues the answer to America's loneliness crisis is not better artificial relationships but a return to families, marriages, and real friendships.Do social media, cell phones, and dating apps pull us further apart?
