On today's show, Jeff Vaughn fills in for Josh Hammer and talks with journalist Daniel Guss, DanielGuss.Substack.com, about the level of blatant voter fraud taking place in blue states like California.
Later, Jeff is joined by political strategist Aidan Chao to discuss the insane level of over-taxation in California, which is killing small business, worsening the affordability crisis for average families, and sending many residents fleeing to red states.
Imagine the national outrage, the nonstop media coverage, the riots, and the congressional hearings if the races were reversed and a white teen had stabbed a black one.
In a fiery segment, Mike hammered home that conservatives must defeat not only the radical Democrats but also the spineless RINOs who stand in the way of real election security.
Russian President Vladimir Putin says Moscow will strengthen its air defense systems following a series of Ukrainian drone attacks that have reached deep into Russian territory.
Putin made the remarks Thursday during a meeting with international news agency leaders on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russia's premier annual event aimed at attracting foreign investment and showcasing the country's economy.
The comments came just days after Ukrainian drones struck an oil terminal in St. Petersburg and targeted a nearby historic naval base. The attacks occurred shortly before the economic forum opened, creating an unwelcome backdrop for an event the Kremlin traditionally uses to highlight Russia's economic strength and international partnerships.
Responding to a question from The Associated Press, Putin vowed that Russia would bolster its air defenses to counter the growing threat posed by long-range Ukrainian drone operations.
Ukraine has increasingly relied on drone attacks to strike targets far from the front lines, aiming to disrupt Russia's energy infrastructure, military facilities, and defense industries. Recent attacks have demonstrated Kyiv's ability to reach strategic locations hundreds of miles inside Russia.
The latest strikes come as fighting between Russia and Ukraine continues with no clear end in sight. Both sides have intensified long-range attacks in recent months, targeting military, energy, and transportation infrastructure.
Despite the security concerns, Russian officials have continued with the St. Petersburg forum, which remains one of the country's most important economic and diplomatic gatherings.
Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is holding his first major campaign event since reports surfaced that he exchanged sexually explicit text messages with several women while he was married.
Platner, an oyster farmer and progressive activist, remains a key figure in Democrats' efforts to flip a U.S. Senate seat and regain control of the chamber. He is seeking to unseat longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins in what is expected to be one of the nation's most closely watched races.
The Democrat is scheduled to appear Friday at a get-out-the-vote rally in Bar Harbor alongside California Congressman Ro Khanna and two Democratic candidates from Maine.
The event comes as Platner faces increased scrutiny following recent media reports about his personal conduct. Despite the controversy, Democrats continue to view the Maine race as critical to their chances of winning back the Senate majority.
Collins, one of the Senate's most moderate Republicans, has represented Maine in Washington for decades and is expected to mount a strong reelection campaign.
Political observers say the outcome of the race could play a major role in determining which party controls the Senate after the November election.
The Senate has approved a $70 billion immigration enforcement package that will fund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol through the remainder of President Donald Trump's term.
The legislation passed after weeks of delays tied to a controversial proposal involving a $1.776 billion settlement fund intended to compensate Trump allies who claimed they had been politically targeted by the government. The dispute became a major sticking point during negotiations and threatened to derail the broader immigration funding measure.
Republican lawmakers ultimately moved forward with the immigration package after the settlement fund was dropped. However, senators rejected several Democratic efforts to permanently prohibit a future administration from reviving a similar program.
Supporters of the bill said the funding is necessary to bolster immigration enforcement operations, strengthen border security, and provide resources for federal agencies tasked with carrying out the administration's immigration agenda.
Critics argued the legislation lacks sufficient oversight and expressed concern that the settlement fund controversy could resurface in the future despite its removal from the current package.
The measure provides funding for immigration enforcement agencies through the end of Trump's current term and marks a significant legislative victory for the administration after weeks of internal Republican disagreements and procedural delays.
The Senate has stalled efforts to renew a key surveillance program used by U.S. intelligence agencies after lawmakers blocked a procedural vote that would have advanced the legislation toward final passage.
The measure failed to gain enough support after six Republicans joined nearly all Democrats in voting against the motion. The setback puts the future of the program in doubt as lawmakers race to act before it expires on June 12.
The surveillance authority is widely used by intelligence agencies to monitor foreign threats and gather national security information. Supporters of the program argue it is a critical tool for protecting the United States, while critics have raised concerns about privacy protections and government oversight.
The vote also comes amid growing bipartisan concerns over President Donald Trump's selection of Bill Pulte to serve as director of national intelligence. Several lawmakers cited the nomination as part of their broader concerns surrounding intelligence policy and oversight.
Sen. Mark Warner, who helped negotiate the legislation, voted against advancing the bill and pointed to concerns related to the administration's intelligence leadership.
Despite the setback, Republican leaders are expected to bring the legislation back for another vote before the June 12 deadline in hopes of securing enough support to renew the program.
The coming days are likely to feature intense negotiations as lawmakers weigh national security concerns against ongoing debates over surveillance powers and government accountability.
The House of Representatives has approved legislation providing billions of dollars in assistance to Ukraine while imposing new sanctions on key sectors of Russia's economy.
The measure includes more than $1 billion in direct security and reconstruction aid for Ukraine, along with an additional $8 billion in defense-related loans intended to help Kyiv continue its fight against Russian forces.
The vote represents the second major foreign policy break with President Donald Trump this week. It comes one day after the House approved a war powers resolution aimed at ending U.S. military action against Iran.
Republican leaders opposed the Ukraine legislation, arguing it could interfere with ongoing diplomatic efforts designed to achieve a broader agreement regarding the war. Supporters of the bill countered that continued assistance is necessary to strengthen Ukraine's position and deter further Russian aggression.
The legislation also targets important sectors of the Russian economy with new sanctions, increasing pressure on Moscow as the conflict continues.
The bill now moves forward as lawmakers continue to debate the future of U.S. involvement in international conflicts and the balance between military support and diplomatic negotiations.
JOHANNESBURG, June 4 (Reuters) - Kenyan President William Ruto on Thursday said his government was doing "the right thing" by allowing the United States to set up an Ebola quarantine facility in Kenya.
Satellite imagery seen by Reuters showed the U.S. government is moving ahead rapidly with setting up the facility at an air force base in central Kenya, despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it.
The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The tented facility in Nanyuki, a town in central Kenya, is due to host a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the epicentre of the outbreak.
The outbreak has also spread to neighbouring Uganda, which has reported 16 cases.
"I can tell you without fear of any contradiction, and I can look at everybody in the eye, ... and tell you we are doing the right thing," Ruto told a press conference during his state visit to South Africa.
"It would be most unfortunate if on one request by the Americans to set up a facility at their cost, we would refuse, we would look very inhuman," Ruto added.
Since May 27, a block of land totalling around 0.046 square kilometres or 11 acres within the Laikipia Air Base has been cleared, according to satellite imagery seen by Reuters.
By June 4, a collection of connected white tents had been set up in the middle of the clearing, where tarmac appears to have been laid.
There are further structures, earth-moving equipment and other vehicles also visible in the cleared section, which lies to the east of the runway.
On Thursday, more flights landed at the air base, with people and heavy equipment on board, an eyewitness told Reuters.
At least two people were killed earlier this week in protests in Nanyuki against the base.
A Kenyan court first ordered work on the Ebola facility to be suspended on May 28. The U.S. embassy in Nairobi has said it is working with the Kenyan government to resolve any objections.
