That is not diversity. That is not religious freedom. That is soft jihad in real time. Sharia is not the Ten Commandments. It is a comprehensive legal and political system that places Islamic law above all other laws including the U.S. Constitution, subordinates women, and criminalizes the very freedoms we take for granted. When a judge signals allegiance to it from the bench, every American who walks into that courtroom is being told the rules have changed. This is how the soft jihad advances - quietly, through appointments, symbols, and the steady normalization of values that are incompatible with a free republic. No bombs. No headlines. Just one courtroom or city council chamber at a time. We are the last line of defense and everyone that wants to use the First Amendment to support this appointment, I remind you, the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Joining me now to break this down is Pastor Dan Carr, host of Freedom Frontline and a citizen of Mississippi.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Discover other shows on the Talk Red Podcast Network, and get your daily fix of news, sports, and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Italian and Irish Americans Team Up To Fight Islamic-Marxist New York City Mayor’s Attacks | EP 702]]></title><description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve just seen the latest on the Iran front.

It&#8217;s not theoretical anymore. It&#8217;s here, bold, public, and accelerating. In New York City, the communist mayor is pushing government-run grocery stores paid for by you, the taxpayer. Private operators get stuck with the mess while prices get controlled into the ground. History has shown us this movie before: empty shelves, failed experiments, and freedom crushed under the boot of the state. Worse, he&#8217;s now outright doxxing private property owners, publishing names and addresses of nearly a million New Yorkers who might face his new taxes. That&#8217;s not governing. That&#8217;s a Bolshevik hit list. Capital flees hostile environments. What made New York, and America, great was capitalism, not this communist seizure of power. And a potential Democrat presidential contender is openly arguing we should make it harder for families to pass on the wealth they earned. Call it what it is: communism. This morning brings another warning shot. Abdul El-Sayed has won the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan. Progressive darling, Bernie and AOC-backed, Medicare-for-All, abolish ICE, long ties to the Democratic Socialists of America, while claiming he&#8217;s &#8220;not a socialist.&#8221; One more Marxist-leaning voice advancing toward the U.S. Senate. One is already one too many. We&#8217;re joined once again by longtime TV news producer, former diplomat, and anchor at Talk Radio WABC in New York, Jake Novak.<br></p><p><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Discover other shows on the Talk Red Podcast Network, and get your daily fix of news, sports, and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Haitian Invasion of Ohio Was Not by Chance | The Rob Maness Show EP 698]]></title><description><![CDATA[Springfield, Ohio, once a classic Midwestern working-class town, became ground zero in America&#8217;s immigration fight.

Thousands of Haitians arrived under Temporary Protected Status. Locals raised alarms about overcrowding, strained services, cultural clashes, and yes, those viral reports about pets. The media and politicians called it all a &#8220;hoax.&#8221; Heritage residents were labeled racists, told to shut up, and gaslit for describing what they saw with their own eyes. But what if dismissing the story as a hoax was the real hoax? Today&#8217;s guest is New York Times bestselling author and lifelong Ohioan Joshua Lisec. He didn&#8217;t just tweet about it, he spent ten weeks on the ground in Springfield. He conducted original interviews, gathered public testimony and hard evidence, and commissioned the first professional poll of Clark County residents. The result is his forthcoming book, Haitians of Springfield: An Oral History, the first full-length account of this American migrant crisis. It documents what happens when one culture&#8217;s norms begin to supersede another&#8217;s, without a vote, without consent, and without recourse. Joshua shows the widening gap between the lived experience of foreign influx into middle America and the approved narrative that was force-fed to the rest of the country. This was not by chance. It was policy. And the people of Springfield paid the price.<br></p><p><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Discover other shows on the Talk Red Podcast Network, and get your daily fix of news, sports, and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[War is Unpredictable: Getting to Peace | EP 697]]></title><description><![CDATA[War is unpredictable.

Getting to peace? Right now it looks a whole lot more like more war. You just saw Ukraine hit a key Russian strategic bomber base. A direct strike at the heart of Moscow&#8217;s long-range air power. Bold. Risky. And a reminder that this conflict can escalate in a heartbeat. President Trump cancels planned weekend strikes on Iran, citing diplomacy. Is this a genuine off-ramp, or just a pause while the region keeps boiling? Israel is conducting fresh self-defense strikes in Lebanon&#8230; while a ceasefire is supposedly in place that Hezbollah refuses to acknowledge. And a drone attack on a U.S. floating gas storage facility in Egypt puts the Suez Canal itself under threat. The entire map is a powder keg, and every fuse is lit from Southwest Asisa to Moscow. To break all of this down with no spin and no filter is a man who&#8217;s been there, retired Special Operations pilot, CDM Press President and CEO, patriot, and fearless truth-teller, L.

Churches locked their doors. Schools closed and kids lost years of learning. Small businesses were crushed. Doctors were silenced. And public trust in government and medicine was deliberately destroyed, all while the same people who pushed the lockdowns, the mandates, and the experimental shots got richer and more powerful. Today we&#8217;re going to confront that wreckage from Dr Fauci&#8217;s lies of death and destruction head-on. My guest lived it, saw it, and has been sounding the alarm from a biblical and cultural perspective ever since. Dr. Alex McFarland is a youth, religion, and culture expert, the author of twenty books, including his brand-new release, 100 Bible Questions &amp; Answers on Prophecy and the End Times. You hear him live every day on nearly two hundred stations across the American Family Radio Network, and he hosts The Alex McFarland Show on NRBTV. He also serves as Director of Worldview at Charis Bible College. Alex has watched the spiritual and moral collapse that followed the pandemic policies, and he&#8217;s not afraid to call it what it was: lies that cost lives and liberty.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Discover other shows on the Talk Red Podcast Network, and get your daily fix of news, sports, and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marxism Is Deeply Embedded at America’s Military Service Academies | The Rob Maness Show EP 695]]></title><description><![CDATA[You just heard Secretary of War Pete Hegseth cut straight to the heart of it: &#8220;Diversity is not our strength.&#8221; Unity is. &#8220;Send me&#8221; becomes &#8220;Send us.&#8221; Duty.

Honor. Country. For too long, that warrior ethos has been under deliberate assault at the very place charged with forging America&#8217;s future Army officers, the United States Military Academy at West Point. Joining us today is a man who&#8217;s lived it and is now fighting to restore it. Retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Ed Kennedy. A prior enlisted infantryman, graduate of West Point Class of 1976 and Infantry officer. And for nearly two decades a graduate instructor at the Command and General Staff College. In his powerful new article for the MacArthur Society of West Point Graduates, &#8220;Killing Woke At West Point,&#8221; Colonel Kennedy lays bare how DEI, Critical Race Theory, and Marxist ideology metastasized inside the Academy. He names names&#8212;faculty who rewrote history, elevated identity politics over warfighting, and even helped produce West Point&#8217;s first openly communist graduate. He shows how &#8220;Duty, Honor, Country&#8221; was quietly subordinated to race, gender, and grievance. Kennedy doesn&#8217;t just diagnose the cancer. He calls for the cure: a clean sweep of the root causes, full support for Secretary Hegseth&#8217;s war on woke, and a return to the timeless standards that once made West Point the envy of the free world. This isn&#8217;t about politics. It&#8217;s about whether the next generation of officers will lead American soldiers into battle with honor or fracture them with ideology.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Discover other shows on the Talk Red Podcast Network, and get your daily fix of news, sports, and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weaponization of The Justice System Attacks Every Aspect of Your Life | The Rob Maness Show EP 694]]></title><description><![CDATA[You just saw the trailer for Ohana, a TV series about organized crime and government corruption in Hawaii.

That project is at the center of one of the clearest cases of weaponized prosecution I&#8217;ve seen. Chris Mazzei is a husband, a father, and a small-business owner. During the pandemic he and his wife Erin took out a PPP loan for that series. They relied on written guidance from the loan originator that projected payroll figures were acceptable&#8212;standard practice in traditional SBA programs. They were fully transparent. Most of the money was either repaid or never even used before sentencing. Yet federal prosecutors seized the family&#8217;s assets a full year before any charges were filed. They forced the family home into foreclosure. They threatened to criminally charge Chris&#8217;s 78-year-old mother if the couple didn&#8217;t take a plea deal or if they tried to submit exculpatory evidence. Ten days after sentencing, federal agents showed up at the foreclosure auction and bid on the Mazzei home, using money they had already seized from the family. The same government that called it fraud was ready to profit from more than a million dollars in equity they had taken from this family. Erin has already served her time. Chris has been in Washington fighting to expose the truth. Now his surrender date is August 20. This is what happens when the justice system is weaponized against ordinary Americans. It doesn&#8217;t just take your freedom&#8212;it attacks every part of your life.<br><br>Discover other shows on the Talk Red Podcast Network, and get your daily fix of news, sports, and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is the Iran War Widening to Encompass Eastern Europe’s War? | EP 693]]></title><description><![CDATA[You just saw Ukraine&#8217;s drones strike transport ships in the Caspian Sea&#8212;vessels that have been moving military cargo between Iran and Russia.

Iran is warning the attack &#8220;cannot go unanswered.&#8221; That raises the central question for today: Is the Iran war linking to, and potentially widening into the war in Eastern Europe? Or are these still separate theaters that just happen to share some of the same players and supply lines? Russia has leaned on Iranian drones and weapons. Iran has used the Caspian route. Now Ukraine is hitting that route. Does that force the two conflicts closer together, or can they still be contained? Look at the rest of the board: Houthis launching missiles toward Saudi Arabia again. President Trump meeting Lebanon&#8217;s President Aoun about ending hostility with Israel and dealing with Hezbollah. A new U.S.-Saudi civil nuclear cooperation deal that brings them into the Abraham Accords and further isolates Iran. Is the war widening, or are we watching parallel pressure points that still have room to stay separate?

In New Jersey, the company that runs the voting system just confirmed there was no software glitch proving the Democrat governor to be a liar, after she was forced to admit state officials knowingly put thousands of non-citizens onto the voter rolls. And President Trump declassified documents covering up a seditious operation against him and revealing former FBI senior leader Nikki Floris admitted that she was &#8220;basically running a shadow government&#8221; while suppressing China election-interference intel on fake IDs for mail-in ballots, then testified under oath that no foreign power was hacking our systems. And Senator Jim Banks just dropped the Citizenship Act of 2026, declaring the children of invaders are not entitled to birthright citizenship, putting into law what the Supreme Court blocked from President Trump&#8217;s executive order.

Tragically, two days later Nolan&#8217;s body was recovered on the island, known for its dangerous rip currents. The initial assessment is drowning with no obvious signs of trauma. Since then this story has drawn national attention, with Ben Crump and Al Sharpton now heavily involved and talk of a grand jury investigation. We&#8217;ll look how the questions are unfolding given we now know about the boat&#8217;s GPS data. An exclusive interview of Nolan&#8217;s friend by Brandon Tatum, who came to Mississippi himself shows the evidence doesn&#8217;t match the racial narrative being pushed and that the young men who were with Nolan that day deserve to have their full stories heard without the spin. At the end of the day, though, the bottom line is simple: a family and an entire community are grieving the loss of this young man, and our prayers are with them. To cut through the noise and get the real facts from someone who was part of the search for Mr. Wells on Horn Island, we&#8217;re joined right now by Brian Trascher of the United Cajun Navy.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Discover other shows on the Talk Red Podcast Network, and get your daily fix of news, sports, and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Daughters of the American Revolution Accepts Transgender Members | The Rob Maness Show EP 690]]></title><description><![CDATA[For generations, the Daughters of the American Revolution have stood as a proud symbol of American patriotism.

Their motto, God, Home, and Country, and their mission of historic preservation, education, and patriotism have guided them for over a century. But today, the DAR is facing serious accusations of going woke. Members who simply want to preserve the organization&#8217;s traditional standards are being intimidated, blackballed, and suppressed by national and state officers. Chapters that push back are reportedly cut off from new member referrals and genealogical support. The group is in a full-blown governance crisis. Chapter-proposed bylaw amendments have been rejected by the board for three years straight. Now the National Board of Management is trying to make it almost impossible to challenge them, proposing to raise the number of chapters needed to call a special meeting and the number needed to propose bylaws by 1200 percent! At the recent 135th Continental Congress, attempts to address these problems were blocked: livestream access was denied, procedural maneuvers limited debate, and a key resolution failed amid reports of voting irregularities. Fighting back is a growing group called Daughters Advocating for Restoration. They now have over 100 chapters signed on for a special meeting this October, and they have support in Congress through Representative Ben Cline&#8217;s DAR Integrity Act, which would amend the congressional charter to clearly define the word &#8220;woman.&#8221;<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Discover other shows on the Talk Red Podcast Network, and get your daily fix of news, sports, and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iran: It’s Time to Finish the Job and eliminate the IRGC | EP 689]]></title><description><![CDATA[These are disturbing reports but not surprising: China is now likely providing Iran with targeting intelligence used to attack our forces in the region.

The CCP is actively helping the Iranian regime go after Americans, that is a serious escalation we cannot ignore. But the United States is hitting back with precision and purpose. In recent days our military has conducted strikes targeting bridges, roads, and key infrastructure around Iran&#8217;s critical port of Bandar Abbas on the Strait of Hormuz. The goal is clear: isolate the IRGC, cut off their supply lines, and break their grip on one of the world&#8217;s most important chokepoints. At the same time, we are making it crystal clear that commercial ships in international waters will not be attacked, peaceful agreement or not. Freedom of navigation must be protected. As Secretary Rubio said, Iran is a rich country. Yet this regime takes every dollar it gets, from oil or anywhere else, and pours it into Hezbollah, Hamas, and other terrorist proxies instead of building a future for its own people. That is why Iran is in shambles. Folks, enough is enough. It is time to finish the job and eliminate the IRGC threat once and for all. To break all of this down with unmatched authority is my guest today: Senior Geopolitical Strategist, Drone Expert, Author of Veritas Vincent: A Soldier&#8217;s Perspective on Truth, Faith, Family, And Freedom, and Retired Army Lt Col and Helicopter Pilot Darin Gaub. Colonel Gaub has spent years in Middle East combat zones and brings the real-world expertise we need right now.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Listen to additional shows and get your daily fix of news, sports and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weaponization Watch: Have You Learned Your Lesson Yet? | EP 688]]></title><description><![CDATA[Welcome to Truth Thursday, everyone.

You just watched that clip. A company built over years... families&#8217; lives turned upside down... branded guilty before a single fact was heard. That&#8217;s the story of today&#8217;s guest. At just 27 years old, Stephen L. Keller founded Kelco and changed an entire industry. He pioneered viatical settlements, giving terminally ill patients a way to access their life insurance money when they needed it most. He co-founded the industry&#8217;s first association, then in 1998 launched the life settlement industry itself. He brought the first securitized bundles of life insurance policies to the New York Stock Exchange, captured 65% of the global market, now a 30-billion-a-year business, and raised 13 billion on Wall Street. He even helped write the regulations that still govern the industry today. Then came the high-profile FBI investigation... the federal trial... the international manhunt. Arrested by Interpol in the jungles of Panama, extradited to the United States, and he served nine years in federal prison. More than a decade later, Stephen Keller is back in South Florida, building businesses, consulting, serving his church and community, and running a scholarship foundation for young entrepreneurs from his hometown in eastern Kentucky. And now, with his powerful new memoir Pay to Play, he&#8217;s telling the full story. Today we&#8217;re asking the question the majority leader once asked him: &#8216;Have you learned your lesson yet?&#8217; Was this justice... or was it the weaponization of the DOJ and federal power against a disruptor who challenged powerful interests?

Michael Castillero, Brian Martinsen, and Francine Lanaia launched Straight Path Venture Partners under the Trump administration&#8217;s pro-growth policies. Their goal was simple, give thousands of mom-and-pop investors real access to high-upside pre-IPO shares in companies like Palantir, Airbnb, and others. Not just billionaires. Regular Americans. They were positioned for generational wealth right as opportunities like the SpaceX IPO were exploding. Then, in 2022, the Biden administration froze their fund. Asset seizures followed, backed by a disputed narrative that shut the entire operation down. The result? Michael Castillero sentenced to 8 to 11 years in prison. This is textbook regulatory lawfare against Trump-aligned voices in finance, and the real victims are the everyday investors who lost everything.<br></p><p><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Listen to additional shows and get your daily fix of news, sports and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is Unpredictable: South Carolina Loses Senator Graham | The Rob Maness Show EP 687]]></title><description><![CDATA[Life is unpredictable, folks.

In a flash, South Carolina has lost its senior United States Senator. Lindsey Graham passed away suddenly, and the entire state, and really the whole country, is reeling from the news. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, his staff, and every South Carolinian who counted on him for more than two decades. Graham was a veteran who brought that same sense of duty to the Senate. He fought hard on national security and foreign policy, and whether you agreed with him on every issue or not, you knew where he stood. As the President just said, this is a big loss. We&#8217;re going to spend today unpacking exactly what this means. Our guest will walk us through what some are already calling the &#8220;new 40-day Senator&#8221; and how the seat will be filled. Then we&#8217;ll hear directly from South Carolina&#8217;s Congresswoman Nancy Mace on Graham&#8217;s passing and his legacy. And finally, we&#8217;ll discuss something Will Cain highlighted yesterday, that Graham was one of the few politicians who didn&#8217;t get rich off his office. He left public service the same way he came in. To help us break all of this down from a strong conservative perspective, I&#8217;m joined live right now by South Carolina native and Republican political expert Chad Caton, National Field Director for The Conservative Caucus.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Listen to additional shows and get your daily fix of news, sports and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The War Within America’s Youngest Generation | EP 686]]></title><description><![CDATA[Folks, you just heard Charlie Kirk say it straight: &#8220;When people stop talking, that&#8217;s when violence happens... that&#8217;s when civil war happens.&#8221; He was right.

Bad things happen when we stop talking to each other. Right now our country is drowning in a screaming culture &#8212; constant shouting, canceling, and radical ideologies like Marxism, socialism, and communism being pushed on our young people every single day. Real conversation has become rare, and the division is getting worse by the minute. But there is hope &#8212; and it&#8217;s coming from the next generation. Today I&#8217;m excited to welcome a young man who is stepping up with a powerful message and a brand-new book that cuts right to the heart of the problem: &#8220;Make America Talk Again: How to Save Humanity from a Screaming Culture.&#8221; Please welcome Brilyn Hollyhand &#8212; bestselling author, political commentator, and at just 20 years old, one of the brightest voices rising in America today. His book is dedicated to his mentor, the late Charlie Kirk, and it&#8217;s a bold call for Gen Z to reject the screaming, think for themselves, and bring real dialogue back to this country &#8212; especially as we head toward America 250.<br></p><p><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Listen to additional shows and get your daily fix of news, sports and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Fight for What Is Right Continues | The Rob Maness Show EP 684]]></title><description><![CDATA[Today we&#8217;re exposing the weaponization of the DOJ and VA against one of America&#8217;s true heroes.

As you just saw, even the VA itself put Jeremy Harrell on their show because of the powerful work he was doing helping veterans heal. Jeremy Harrell is an Iraq combat veteran who came home with severe PTSD and traumatic brain injuries. The VA rated him permanently disabled at 70% plus individual unemployability. His own VA mental health providers encouraged him to volunteer as part of his therapy. In 2019 he founded Veterans Club Incorporated, a faith-based nonprofit helping thousands of veterans and first responders overcome PTSD, TBI, substance abuse, and homelessness. He served as the unpaid volunteer CEO. No salary. No paycheck. Just a disabled veteran giving everything he had to help his brothers and sisters. For that service he was named Kentucky Veteran of the Year, inducted into the Kentucky Veterans Hall of Fame, honored in the Congressional Record by Senator Rand Paul, and personally congratulated by President Trump. But the Biden DOJ came after him. They indicted this disabled veteran for &#8220;theft of government funds&#8221;, simply for receiving his VA disability benefits while volunteering full-time. He was convicted, sentenced to six months in federal prison, six months of home confinement, and ordered to pay 207,000 in restitution he cannot afford. This is what weaponization looks like: targeting a combat veteran for volunteering too much. Jeremy is also a Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplain and a strong conservative voice.<br></p><p><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Listen to additional shows and get your daily fix of news, sports and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lawfare Against Retired NYPD Sergeant Michael McMahon: The China and Clinton Connection | The Rob Maness Show EP 683]]></title><description><![CDATA[Today I&#8217;m honored to welcome Emmy Award-winning actress, producer, and author Martha Byrne.

Martha has enjoyed a legendary career on daytime television, As the World Turns, General Hospital, but for the last several years her most important role has been fighting for her husband. For more than 30 years Martha has been married to retired NYPD Sergeant and highly decorated Detective Michael McMahon, a man who spent his career protecting the people of New York with honor and distinction. Then the Biden Department of Justice came after him. They weaponized the full power of the federal government against this decorated cop. Michael committed no crime. He was given no fair due process. And he was sentenced to 18 months in a federal penitentiary. Martha refused to stay silent. She launched a relentless battle to save her husband and expose the truth. That fight is documented now in her powerful book, In the Interest of Justice. This story is bigger than one family. It involves Chinese police connections, a Wuhan fugitive, and Clinton Foundation ties. It is yet another clear example, beyond January 6th, of the previous administration&#8217;s lawfare, corruption, incompetence, and contempt for the rule of law. Martha, thank you for your courage in this fight.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Listen to additional shows and get your daily fix of news, sports and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
