Mass migration isn’t just a policy debate; it’s a power struggle with global stakes.
Bestselling investigative journalist Peter Schweizer, author of “The Invisible Coup,” lays out his thesis that mass migration isn’t just a humanitarian or economic issue, but also a strategic tool foreign powers use to reshape American politics.
“It’s not a network in the sense that they are working together. It’s a confluence of interests. Mexico, China, the Muslim Brotherhood—they all have different goals, but they share a common goal: They want to diminish the United States and extend their interests.”

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance this past Sunday has the country split on whether or not it presented a message of unity or division. And the decision to hand him the stage traces back to an unexpected source: a close ally of Barack Obama.

That’s right. Few fans realize that rapper Jay-Z has been quietly steering the Super Bowl’s halftime lineup for the past several years. According to Victor Davis Hanson, one thing is certain: when Jay-Z is in charge, viewers can expect “an elaborate set with shooting lights and all kinds of crazy stuff”—a spectacle he calls a “crutch for the lack of talent.”

Victor Davis Hanson returns for another episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” where he breaks down Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny’s controversial halftime performance and what it really says about the direction of America’s biggest stage.

“This is a Neronian Roman circus… I see folk singers that used to come there [the Super Bowl], I saw country western [singers.] I had no problem with any of them. Leftwing, rightwing, I enjoyed it. But when you put Jay-Z in charge of the halftime show… we know what it is now.”

Young men need to exercise “agency” in their own lives.

A recent survey done on young men and their problems (and prospects) revealed young men who participate in multiple social activities and groups are problem solvers.

Alex Tarascio, a pollster at Cygnal, a political polling firm, explains that when these young men “talk about their biggest problems, the problems they identify are problems that they can change.”

“If you say, ‘Paying my bills,’ that’s a hard problem, [but] that’s not a problem that you can change super easily. If your problem is romantic relationships, that problem is entirely on you.”

Nearly 80% of Truman Scholars, a taxpayer-funded scholarship program, from 2017 and 2018 ”have a clear connection to liberal politics, such as working for Democratic members of Congress, advocating for progressive causes, or teaching classes with a liberal focus,” reports the College Fix. 

Jennifer Kabbany, editor-in-chief of The College Fix joins Jack Fowler for an in-depth discussion on DEI programs, higher education challenges, and jaw-dropping campus stories.

Traditionally, Minnesotans, by virtue of their Scandinavian heritage, are known for being well-mannered and having good governance. However, over the past few months, the idyllic poster boy for “Midwest nice” has been completely upended following a string of high-profile taxpayer-dollar fraud controversies, raids against peaceful church services and violent altercations between leftist protesters and federal immigration officials.

Daily Signal senior editor Tyler O’Neil joins today’s podcast to walk through his own original investigative reporting behind the anti-ICE protest from within Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn., last week and the tone-deaf responses from local Democratic officials.

“Really, one of the most shocking things that I was able to report was that Gov. Walz’s administration ordered an investigative unit inside one of these huge departments not to investigate criminal fraud. And now they were telling me their statement is, ‘Oh yeah, well that was just … we didn’t want them doing criminal stuff.

“‘We still wanted them investigating.’ But all the whistleblowers have been saying from the beginning that they’re trying to hide this fraud. Meanwhile, we also see this neo-Confederate push essentially to nullify federal immigration law. And it’s not just, you know, Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey who are out there saying, you know, ‘We don’t want to follow these laws in Minnesota and ICE.

“‘You can leave, go pound sand.’ I know Frey used even more colorful language than that. But they’re pitting themselves against the federal government and against the enforcement of immigration law while their shock troops are on the ground, willing to engage anyone.
