Today, the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history concludes in Wisconsin. The prime reason is the expectation that, if the leftist candidate being supported by immense amounts of money from George Soros and other Democrat donors, Susan Crawford, prevails she will inject herself in deciding congressional redistricting. It would give the term “activist judge” a new meaning. 

Crawford appealed to donors at a January event billed as “a chance to put two more House seats in play in 2026,” supporting electoral maps designed to make those Republican districts into ones favoring Democrats, possibly impacting control of the federal House of Representatives.

While various courts across the country have injected themselves into redistricting disputes, it’s astounding that a judicial candidate is so nakedly selling her seat to interested partisans. That’s a precedent that should not be set in Wisconsin today.

The immensity of the depravity and evil of the Sharia-supremacists doing business as Hamas has just been underscored yet again by its latest act of barbarous inhumanity. 

On February 20th, the Gazan jihadist regime turned over the corpses of four Israelis kidnapped during its genocidal attack on October 7th 2023. Two were infants, Ariel and Kfir Bibas. The third was represented as the remains of their mother, Shiri.

Israeli forensic experts confirmed the identity of the murdered children. But Hamas evidently is still withholding Shiri’s body. 

Such sick cruelty violates the so-called Gaza “ceasefire.” Worse, it demonstrates anew the sorts of horrific violence and psychological torture Hamas yearns to inflict on every Israeli – and every American. 

It’s past time for the Hamas death cult to get exactly what it deserves: Extinction. 

Prime Minister Netanyahu: Finish the job. 

This is Frank Gaffney.

Robert Spencer, Director of Jihad Watch

• Robert Spencer about the supremacist character of Hezbollah and other Islamic terrorist organizations and what it tells us about their true intentions and their absolute indifference to the idea that if someone actually ceases fire, they will behave peaceably and end the war against Israel. We discussed how that war is not confined to Israel. It is something that we are facing in the West, including here. And if we don't help Israel succeed in defeating Hezbollah and its ilk.

Vanessa Battaglia, Independent Researcher

• Vanessa Battaglia checked in to give us an update on her research and reporting on what the Chinese Communist Party is doing with the help of certain states in this country to penetrate our economy and our government. The purpose of providing employment opportunities, we're told. But in fact, it almost certainly means more subversion and dangers here at the hands of the CCP.

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, Host of Eyes on Israel, Co- Host of Shoulder to Shoulder

• I spoke with Rabbi Pesach Wolicki about Israel's extraordinary campaign against Hezbollah, the real progress that it's making towards defeating that terrorist organization, what it means for both the Jewish state and for us and why they must accept nothing less than victory. Something to his credit, Benjamin Netanyahu has made clear is a non -negotiable outcome of all this.

Debbie Georgatos, Host of America Can We Talk Podcast

• I discussed with Debbie Georgatos, a committeewoman from Texas, what's involved in that job, what the Republican National Committee, more generally, is doing to assure election integrity this fall, and the degree to which the stakes in the future of our country are on the line the outcome of those efforts and why we all need to be participating in them.

Dr. Karen Siegemund, President, American Freedom Alliance

• I visited with Karen Siegemund about a remarkable series of programs we call the Roadshow for World War III, the early years events to date, the people who've participated in them, the impact they're having in informing Americans about the choices before our country, notably in and after this election, and the extent to which you can participate in the next of these programs in Allentown, Pennsylvania on the 19th of October.

Dr. David Wurmser, Senior Analyst for Middle East Affairs at the Center for Security Policy

• Dr. David Wurmser and I updated on the state of the war Israel is facing. It is now very much a war with Hezbollah in the north. And David has laid out not only the successes that Israel has had in devastating the capabilities of Hamas, a terrorist organization that has been a nightmare for not only Israel but for the people of Lebanon and others elsewhere. He also described what the end game might be, perhaps for a Christian-restored Lebanon and an Iran free of the mullahs and their tyranny.

Bill Walton, Host of The Bill Walton Show

• I explored with Bill Walton about the Summit of the Future, which the United Nations convened this week and adopted a pact for the future in its course that seems to be creating a world government out of the United Nations that will dictate to us all manner of things at the expense of our sovereignty and freedom. 

Bill Walton, Host of The Bill Walton Show

• I discussed with Bill Walton the Summit of the Future, the United Nations convened this week and adopted a pact for the future in its course that seems to be setting in motion a process, as they like to say, to create a world government out of the United Nations that will dictate to us all manner of things at the expense of our sovereignty and freedom and why we must resist these assaults on our constitutional republic and liberty.

Dr. David Wurmser, Senior Analyst for Middle East Affairs at the Center for Security Policy

• I spoke with Dr. David Wurmser about the state of the war in which Israel now finds itself. By some estimates, a seven-front war. Talk about many of the elements of that war, as well as what the United States government is doing to help Israel's enemies wage it against our friend and undermining our friend in defending itself against not only her enemies but ours as well.

Jim Simpson, Author of " Manufactured Crisis: The War to End America"

• I spoke with Jim Simpson about his latest book, Manufactured Crisis: The War to End America.

Dr. Steve Young, Global Executive Director of the Caux Round Table

• I spoke with Steve Young about moral capitalism, why it is not an oxymoron, and the World Economic Forum, led by Klaus Schwab.

Captain James Fanell, Former Naval Intelligence Officer 

• I spoke with Captain James Fennell about the possibility of civil war, as we're told Xi Jinping is describing his intentions towards Taiwan and the prospect that he may well bring civil war to our country as well in the process of seizing Taiwan. We also discussed the state of the U.S. military and national defense strategy. Are we unprepared for even a single conflict, let alone a possible global one, with China and its friends?

Margaret Byfield, Executive Director of American Stewards of Liberty

• I spoke with Margaret Byfield about the efforts being made now by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to insinuate arrangements that would enable the government or perhaps foreign investors to exercise control over private property in this country. Part of a green agenda that is inimical to one of our most fundamental rights in America and our national sovereignty as well.
