How China Funds the American Left + Sen. Cornyn Joins The Progrum
The fellas discuss one of the biggest political stories flying under the radar: a State Department report identifying far-left activist groups as potential vectors of Chinese influence operation.
That’s not just politics — that’s national security.
Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook break down:
• The State Department naming Code Pink and The People’s Forum in a report to Congress
• How foreign influence exploits U.S. nonprofit networks
• Why Minnesota protests and ICE clashes don’t look organic
• The money trail behind radical “riot-on-demand” activism
• Ways & Means Chairman Jason Smith launching investigations into foreign-backed nonprofits
Then it’s media malpractice time.
Axios had to delete a headline after reporting that crime plunged in major cities “despite” Trump’s crackdown. The fellas unpack what that framing says about the press — and why enforcing laws suddenly became controversial.
Plus:
• A liberal columnist admits broken windows policing might actually work
• The SAVE Act panic — and why requiring ID to vote is suddenly “controversial”
• Somalia requiring voter ID before Democrats can agree on it
And it’s primary season.
Senator John Cornyn joins the program to discuss:
• His reelection fight in Texas
• Border security and ICE enforcement
• Texas securing $11 billion in federal reimbursement
• Performance politics vs actual legislating
• The stakes of a contentious Republican primary
Texas voters have a big decision ahead — and the outcome could impact Senate races nationwide.
Question of the Day:
What’s the most obvious “revelation” a liberal has had during the Trump era? Drop your answer in the comments.
