    <description><![CDATA[<p>The Maxi and Honcho Show is satirical news for people who are</p><p>  sick of the racket. Every episode, Maxi and Honcho tear into</p><p>  the week's most outrageous abuses of power — the self-dealing,</p><p>  the donor payoffs, the quiet cover-ups — and decode exactly how</p><p>  the grift works: who's cashing in, who's getting played, and</p><p>  what the cable-news anchors won't say out loud. Part comedy,</p><p>  part investigation, all attitude. Real corruption, named and</p><p>  explained, with a cast that doesn't flinch. Pull up a stool —</p><p>  class is in session.</p><p>  Satire and commentary on public figures and current events.</p>]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Trump's NDA Plot: 2 Million Federal Workers Face Criminal Gag Order]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management has drafted a sweeping non-disclosure agreement carrying civil and criminal penalties that would require all 2 million federal workers to sign or lose their jobs. Leaked to Mother Jones, this gag order would silence postal workers, food inspectors, park rangers, VA hospital staff, and air traffic controllers from speaking to reporters about what they see on the job.

Maxi Holler and partner Hancho break down the legal, technical, and human consequences with civil rights lawyer Karen Crotchfield, veteran reporter Jimmy Fiddler, and tech expert Clara Biggs. The panel explains how whistleblower protections from the 1989 Act conflict with this contract, why the chilling effect works before courts can strike it down, and how keystroke logging and email metadata could be used to make examples of leakers.

The story of USDA inspector Erica Quintana, who exposed contaminated chicken in Marshalltown, illustrates the human stakes. Regulars at the bar weigh in on what they'd do if handed the NDA tomorrow. This is a non-monetized community effort. Call your congressman. Take care of someone you love this week.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Anthropic Admits AI Job Apocalypse Coming for White Collar Workers]]></title>
      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Anthropic Admits AI Job Apocalypse Coming for White Collar Workers]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[Anthropic's Boris Cherny told reporter Casey Newton that major white collar job losses are coming as AI tools like Claude Code replace software engineers, lawyers, and call center workers. With Anthropic valued at $60 billion and revenue climbing from zero to $7 billion in two years, the company building the tool is openly warning about the devastation it will cause. Meanwhile, Trump revoked Biden's AI safety executive order on his first day in office, eliminating required safety testing and reporting on AI used in hiring and credit decisions.

Tonight we follow the money: when Anthropic's tool replaces three engineers with one, those two salaries don't get shared with remaining workers, they get pocketed as margin and dividends. Workers pay $20-200 monthly for the very tool replacing them, and Anthropic's terms allow them to train future models on user work product. Pope Leo's encyclical Antiqua et Nova calls AI a moral question about who it serves, declaring the dignity of work non-negotiable.

We meet Daniel Kowalski, a 41-year-old Charlotte software engineer of 13 years now driving for Lyft after his bank deployed AI coding tools. The bar regulars compare it to the 1979 robot arms in Lansing and 1988 bank teller layoffs, but this time there's no union for coders, paralegals, or call center workers. Show up, vote in off years, refuse to look away.]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Trump's 80th Birthday Cage Match on White House Lawn: Who Pays?]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[A non-monetized community commentary on the reported construction of a UFC cage on the White House South Lawn for President Trump's 80th birthday on June 14th, which also marks America's 250th anniversary. The panel investigates the handshake deal between Dana White and Trump made at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida strip mall LLC contracting the work, and the three-layer shell company structure traced by forensic accountant Chubba.

Civil rights lawyer Karen Crotchfield breaks down three potential legal violations: the Anti-Deficiency Act, the Hatch Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act's Section 106 review requirement. The South Lawn is a National Register site, and reports indicate park service staff were told to stand down.

The human cost is told through Walter Coil, a 29-year park service groundskeeper whose wife's cancer scans are now in jeopardy, alongside stories from a diabetic nurse and a Detroit union steward watching no-bid contracts go to shell companies. With 18 days until June 14th, the panel urges viewers to call Congress, attend park service hearings, and contact UFC sponsors.]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Trump's Secret Camp David War Council: Marines Block Press as Cabinet Meets]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[President Trump has summoned his entire cabinet to Camp David under a Marine-guarded press blackout, his first such retreat since ordering strikes on Iran's nuclear sites two weeks ago. Maxi Haller and her panel break down what it means when a president runs a war from a cabin in the woods with no cameras, no Congress, and no accountability.

The panel examines the troubling pattern of purges: three high-profile women cabinet members removed in three months, including intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard, who reportedly clashed with Trump over Iran. Civil rights lawyer Karen Crotchfield explains the War Powers Resolution, forensic accountant Chubba Gin-Jani follows the money flowing into the desert, and veteran journalist Jimmy Fiddler shares what Pentagon sources are saying about generals being pushed out in favor of loyalists.

From the bar regulars discussing veterans denied care and patients cutting heart pills in half, to the biblical reflection on John 3:20 about those who hate the light, this commentary names names and asks why there's gold for bombs but none for medicine. A non-monetized community effort calling out power that hides from the people it claims to serve.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Musk Hiked Starlink Prices on Pentagon Mid-War With Iran]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[SpaceX raised Starlink prices on the Pentagon in the middle of an active conflict with Iran, while the satellite network was actively guiding America's Lucas kamikaze drones to their targets. This is the oldest playbook in the book: get them hooked on the supply, then squeeze when they can't walk away. American taxpayers helped fund those rockets, and now the richest man alive is charging a toll on the road we built.

Tonight Maxi Holler and the regulars break down how a single billionaire came to own the sky over a war zone. With one company, one man, and one network blanketing the airspace, there is no price, only ransom. We name names, follow the money with forensic accountant Chubba Janney, and hear from Jimmy Fiddler's sources near the program about operators worried their lifeline could go dark over a billing fight.

This is commentary and satire. The opinions are ours, but the names, numbers, and quotes are real. Non-monetized community effort. Get involved.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[SpaceX Board Exposed: Musk's Brother Approves $23B Self-Written Pay Package]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[The New York Times investigation reveals how SpaceX's board, stacked with Elon Musk's brother Kimball, longtime friends, and business partners, rubber-stamped a $23 billion pay package using outside shareholders' money. With dual-class shares voting 10 to 1, pension funds and retirement accounts held through Fidelity have effectively zero say in how the company operates, while NASA and Pentagon contracts totaling nearly $6 billion fuel Musk's stock bonuses.

Maxi Holler is joined by Hauncho Padre, forensic accountant Chubbaj, civil rights lawyer Karen Crotchfield, tech operator Clara Biggs, and reporter Jimmy Fiddler to break down the fiduciary duty failures, Delaware corporate law violations under Sinclair Oil v. Levian, and the textbook conflicts of interest. The bar regulars weigh in on how a $200 church collection plate gets more oversight than $23 billion in corporate pay.

This is a non-monetized community commentary and satire program. Opinions only, no legal advice. Tonight's verse: Proverbs 22:16. Donna Reyes in Pasadena deserves better. One share, one vote.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Congress Cuts $775B from Medicaid to Fund Tax Cuts for the Rich]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[Tonight we follow the money behind the 2025 tax law that carved $775 billion out of Medicaid, stripping coverage from millions of poor kids, seniors, and disabled Americans. We name names, cite the receipts, and trace exactly where those dollars land—spoiler: in the pockets of the top 1%, while a family earning $38,000 loses their doctor so a millionaire household can pocket a quarter million in tax breaks.

Karen Crotchfield breaks down the paperwork trap disguised as work requirements, drawing on the 2018 Arkansas test run that knocked 18,000 working people off coverage. Chubba Genny follows the money to the rural hospital chains already booking $1.2 billion holes, while Jimmy Fiddler reports on four southern Ohio facilities quietly drafting closure plans. We meet the Reyes family of Vinton County, where nine-year-old Sophia's type 1 diabetes care hangs on a seasonal work calendar and a 1998-era website.

From the bar regulars to the international waters where Putin, Xi, and Kim watch America rob its own poor, this is commentary with receipts. We punch up, always up. Proverbs 22: Do not rob the poor because they are poor.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[DHS Built Secret Watch List of People Who Film ICE Agents]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[Homeland Security has quietly built a domestic terrorism watch list targeting Americans who film ICE agents in public. Now a lawsuit demands the database be exposed under the Freedom of Information Act. We break down how a $73 million sole-source contract funded a face-scanning operation that matches protest footage against DMV photos, putting teachers, pastors, and ordinary citizens into federal files without warrants or judicial review.

Our panel examines the chilling effect on First Amendment protected activity, with civil rights attorney Karen Crutchfield explaining the legal doctrine, data expert Clara Biggs walking through the facial recognition pipeline, and forensic accountant Csaba Genjani following the money to a contractor that spent $2 million lobbying the year before landing the deal. Insider sources at DHS describe a program that started as 'agent safety' and morphed into surveillance of photographers, journalists, and protesters.

This is commentary and protected speech. Names are named. We discuss Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, the administrative subpoena process, and the real human cost through the story of Renata Cole, a photographer whose career was destroyed for filming a parking lot arrest. File the records request. Keep the camera up.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[89,000 Migrants Pressured Into 'Voluntary' Deportation Forms]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security has pressured 89,000 migrants into signing voluntary departure forms, waiving their right to see a judge. We break down how detention conditions—freezing cells, broken AC, 2 AM signature drives—are engineered to make people sign away legitimate asylum claims. This isn't a failure of the system. The misery IS the policy.

Civil rights lawyer Karen Crutchfield explains the legal trap: sign the form, lose your hearing, lose any asylum defense, even cases you would have won. Money guy Chubba follows the dollars to private detention contractors paid per body per night, with zero incentive to fix conditions. Jimmy Fiddler brings sources from inside a Louisiana facility describing how the air conditioning breaks 'on schedule' the week before sign-up drives.

We name names: Stephen Miller, the architect. We tell the story of Lucia Mendoza, who fled gang violence in Honduras with a strong asylum case, and her seven-year-old daughter Sophia in Houston still setting two plates at the table. A protection racket dressed as mercy. What would Jesus do? He wouldn't slide a form across a cold table at 2 AM.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Trump Promotes Illegal Crypto Casino Stake After $1M Donation]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[President Donald Trump promoted Stake, an unlicensed crypto casino, to his 8 million Truth Social followers shortly after a super PAC tied to Stake's owners donated $1 million to Easy Money PAC. Our panel breaks down the paper trail connecting Australian Stake co-founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani to the political donation and the subsequent presidential promotion.

Stake operates without a license in any U.S. state and has received cease and desist letters from Massachusetts, New York, and Michigan. We discuss the legal exposure under state gambling laws, the aiding and abetting implications, and why Attorney General Pam Bondi is unlikely to act. Forensic accountant Chubba traces the shell company money, civil rights attorney Karen Crotchfield outlines the criminal exposure, and tech analyst Clara Biggs demonstrates how the platform bypasses age verification.

We hear from the regulars at the bar, including an ER nurse describing an 18-year-old who attempted suicide after losing his rent on a crypto casino, and Linda Manning of Lansing, Michigan, whose 19-year-old son Tyler is now in counseling at Sparrow Hospital. Call your state attorney general. This is a non-monetized community effort.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Canada's Shiny Debt Trap: How Loan Apps Are Bleeding Borrowers Dry]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[Tonight we expose Canadian online lenders whose slick apps deliver instant loans to desperate borrowers at interest rates that trap them in inescapable debt. While Canada capped the criminal interest rate at 35% in 2025, lenders like Easy Financial, Fairstone, and check-cashing chains have moved their profits into fees, optional insurance, and endless renewals that legally sit outside that cap. A $2,000 loan can balloon into over $5,000 in just three years.

Our panel breaks down the predatory design: countdown timers, hidden payoff buttons, prominent borrow-more prompts, and 'optional insurance' that essentially guarantees the lender's profit. We hear from Denise, a Sudbury home care worker who paid back $9,000 on a $2,000 loan and still owes more. Honcho, a former Bensonhurst collector, compares the app economy to the old VIG racket—same business, clean shoes, with the law holding the bat.

This is non-monetized commentary and satire. Call your MP about interest rates dressed up as fees, and read the fine print twice. Proverbs 28:8 reminds us: usury gathered from the poor never stays in the squeezer's hand.

      <description><![CDATA[A new study released this week documents 145,000 children separated from a parent under Trump administration policies architected by Stephen Miller. Tonight we break down the numbers, the law, and the money trail behind one of the darkest chapters in modern American immigration policy. This is independent news commentary - no sponsors, no party, just the receipts.

Our panel digs in: Karen Crotchfield on the constitutional violations dating back to Stanley v. Illinois and the Flores settlement, Chubba Ginjani follows the detention dollars to GEO Group and CoreCivic (at $750 per child per night), and Jimmy Fiddler brings sources from inside the facilities reporting toddlers who don't know their own last names anymore. We name the bad actors: Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, and Kristi Noem.

From the bar regulars to the studio analysis, we share the story of Lucia Hernandez, 8 years old, whose mother Maria has been in detention for 61 days. Call your representative. Show up at the next accountability hearing. Take care of someone you love this week.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Trump's $1.776B January 6th Reparations Fund: Civil Immunity Exposed]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[President Trump's Justice Department has created a $1.776 billion settlement fund to pay January 6th rioters with taxpayer money, with a civil immunity clause shielding the Trump family in perpetuity. Maxi Haller, Hanjo Padre, attorney Karen Crotchfield, forensic accountant Chubbogen Johnny, and insider Jimmy Fiddler break down how the DOJ sued itself, settled with itself, and named the figure after 1776 as a political troll.

Karen walks through why the immunity clause is unenforceable under settlement law, and how Section 4 of the 14th Amendment plainly forbids paying debts incurred in aid of insurrection. The panel exposes the Enrique Tarrio connection, the Paxton Senate endorsement, the Tennessee and South Carolina redistricting fights, and Cassidy's defection in Louisiana.

Regulars at the Anvil bar share what the fund means in real life: a stabbed cop on disability, a single mom choosing between rent and chemo, a community college kid drowning in $15K of loans while flagpole rioters collect $500K tax-free. This is opinion and political commentary based on public reporting.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[DHS Issues Nationwide BOLO on Nashville Comedian Ben Palmer Over Parody Site]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[Homeland Security has issued a nationwide Be On The Lookout alert targeting Nashville stand-up comedian Ben Palmer for building a parody ICE tip website that recorded callers attempting to report their neighbors. Maxi and Hancho break down how a satirical website went viral, embarrassed powerful people, and triggered a federal response with no charges, no warrant, and no crime alleged.

Civil rights attorney Karen Crotchfield explains that Hustler v. Falwell (1988) places parody at the center of the First Amendment, and that a BOLO requires no judge - chilling speech without ever proving it illegal. Tech analyst Clara Biggs details how DHS scrapes TikTok and YouTube for viral content, while Jimmy Fiddler reports the request came down from the White House liaison's office tied to Stephen Miller, with Kristi Noem's DHS signing off.

The regulars at the bar weigh in - from Stellantis workers to nurses to immigrants who fled authoritarian regimes - on what it means when the federal government issues a wanted poster on a comedian. Putin, Kim, and a young actor make a cameo commentary on America learning tricks they've used since 1937.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Trump DOJ Strips Citizenship: USCIS Lawyers Reassigned to Hunt Naturalized Americans]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[Tonight we name names and cite sources. The Trump administration is pulling lawyers out of USCIS and reassigning them to U.S. Attorney offices to pursue denaturalization cases against American citizens. Axios broke the story, and four former officials confirmed the transfers were 'force-volunteered.' Stephen Miller is the architect, Pam Bondi signs off, and USCIS director Joseph Edlow is executing the orders.

Civil rights attorney Karen Crotchfield walks through the legal bar — clear and convincing evidence of intentional fraud — and explains why the administration doesn't need to win every case. The chilling effect is the point. Clara Biggs breaks down how databases cross-reference decades of asylum forms, visa applications, and tax filings hunting for any inconsistency. Jimmy Fiddler's USCIS sources describe morale collapsing inside a week.

The regulars at Last Call weigh in — a Trinidadian cousin shredding old tax returns, a nurse whose patient begged her not to let them take his country away, and the story of Rosa Maria Ortega, deported in 2024 after being told her whole life she was a citizen. Call your senator. Drive a neighbor to their citizenship interview. Don't wait for someone else to be brave first.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Trump's Thousands of Stock Trades: Front-Running the Presidency]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[The Globe and Mail reports the U.S. President has executed thousands of stock trades this year, many placed just before his own announcements moved the markets, with no blind trust in place. Maxi Holler and Hancho Padry break down the disclosure filings, the 78% win rate, and the estimated $40 million in trading profits flowing through accounts controlled by the man setting trade policy.

Tonight's panel includes forensic accountant Chubogen Janie pulling the trade records, civil rights lawyer Karen Crotchfield walking through what the law actually says about presidential insider trading, and veteran reporter Jimmy Fiddler with sources on the trading floor. We name the bad actors: Trump, Eric and Don Jr., Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and SEC Chair Paul Atkins. We hear from the bar regulars losing their 401k savings, from Doris in Toledo who lost $11,000 of root canal money, and from Roe in Detroit postponing her son's college visits.

This is independent commentary, not investment advice. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Call your senator's office tomorrow and ask them by name where they stand. Proverbs 28:8 — he who increases his wealth by unjust gain gathers it for one who pities the poor.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Trump's Surgeon General Pick Sells Pentagon-Banned Supplements on Amazon]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[Tonight we examine Dr. Nicole Saphier, Trump's nominee for Surgeon General, who sells supplements on Amazon containing an ingredient the Pentagon has banned from military bases due to liver damage concerns. Amazon has now opened an inquiry into her shop following questions from the Guardian. Our panel — including a retired enforcer, a lawyer, a forensic accountant, and a data analyst — breaks down how a Fox News contributor built a wellness brand, launched a supplement line, and got nominated to regulate the very industry profiting her.

We walk through Title 18 Section 208, the federal conflict-of-interest statute, and what divestment would actually require. Our forensic accountant pulls the markup numbers (6-10x cost), and our data lead maps 42 TV-doctor-branded supplement lines on Amazon — 12 of which contain Pentagon-flagged ingredients. The regulars at the bar share ER stories: a 23-year-old with liver enzymes through the roof, grandmothers taking 11 supplements thinking they're medicine, and the one-in-five severe drug-induced liver failures now traced to supplements.

This is independent commentary based on public reporting. Names, dates, and quotes are sourced. Call your senator before the vote. Read the labels in your cabinet. Take care of someone you love this week.

      <description><![CDATA[Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik wrote a $5 million check to House Republicans through the NRCC just days after agreeing to sit for an interview about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The timing raises serious questions about whether the donation was designed to soften the questioning by the very people tasked with investigating him.

Tonight Maxi Haller and the panel break down the money mechanics with forensic accountant Chubba Genjenni, the legal angle with Karen Crotchfield, and Capitol Hill sourcing from Jimmy Fiddler. Hancho frames it as a classic 'sit-down sweetener' — bring a gift before you face the bosses. The regulars at the bar weigh in, and the conversation keeps returning to Virginia Roberts Giuffre and the survivors whose questions just got bought out.

This is a non-monetized community effort. Names, dollars, and dates are drawn from public records. Call your House member tomorrow and ask if they took NRCC money this quarter — and donate to a survivors fund tonight.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Trump Owns Eli Lilly Stock While Regulating Drug Prices - The Receipts]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[Tonight we name names. According to documents obtained by Kaiser Family Foundation Health News, President Trump personally held Eli Lilly stock outside of a blind trust while his administration advanced policies benefiting the drug maker. Lilly stock has doubled since 2023, with disclosures showing between $500K-$1M in Lilly shares alone, plus holdings in Pfizer, Merck, and Bristol Myers - roughly $10 million in pharma personally while overseeing the agencies that regulate them.

Our panel breaks down the 1962 loophole that exempts presidents and VPs from federal conflict of interest laws, the toothless executive order on drug pricing that Wall Street saw through in an hour, and CEO David Ricks's seven White House meetings since January. Dr. Oz now runs Medicare. Mehmet Oz announced no real negotiation on Lilly's biggest drugs. Mounjaro just got added to Medicare coverage - taxpayers now buying it, stock jumped again.

We remember Cole Schmidtnecht, 22, who rationed insulin after a $500 cash substitute he couldn't afford. Six days later he died. The same week, Lilly stock hit an all-time high. This is a non-monetized community effort. Call your senator. Close the loophole. Check the receipts yourself.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[$9 Billion White House Deal: Anthropic Chips for Spy Agencies]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[The White House has approved $9 billion in cutting-edge AI chips to power classified networks at US spy agencies, with Anthropic finalizing a contract to supply its models. Tonight we break down what this means: top-shelf AI in the hands of intelligence agencies eliminates the technical limits that once forced spies to choose targets. Now they can ingest every email, text, and call in real time.

Our panel names names — Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe, and Dario Amodei — and digs into how Anthropic, once branded as the safety-focused AI company, is now selling classified models with no public oversight. Hanjo calls it a protection racket scaled to a continent. Karen walks through how Section 702 turns 'incidental' collection into everyone. Chubba follows the black budget money trail.

At the bar, Earl's wife gets denied chemo while the spy chips ship priority. Marita Ortega, a Catholic Charities caseworker, lands on a watch list for nothing. This is a non-monetized community effort — call your senator, take care of someone you love.

      <description><![CDATA[The lobby formerly known as APEX's United Democracy Project has quietly rebranded as the Better Blue Fund after spending nearly $100 million crushing progressive Democrats in primaries. Tonight Maxi Holler and the crew break down how the same donors—Paul Singer, Mark Rowan, Jeff Yass, and the late Bernard Marcus—are building a new vehicle to keep doing what UDP did, only quieter. We trace the money architecture, the hybrid PAC loophole, and why the old name went radioactive after taking down Jamal Bowman and Cori Bush.

Hancho translates the dark money playbook through his Bensonhurst lens: when an outfit gets too much heat, you spin off a clean shell. Chubajin Janie walks through the FEC filings, Karen Crotchfield explains why Citizens United and SpeechNow made this legal, and Jimmy Fiddler brings sources from the Hill on why donors wanted a quieter pipe. The bar regulars weigh in on what it feels like when out-of-state billionaires pick your congressman.

Verse for tonight: Proverbs 17:23. A wicked man takes a bribe in secret to pervert the course of justice. The bribe has a new name. The remedy is still the same—show up on primary day in numbers the lobby can't follow.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Trump's Friday Memo Just Rewrote Green Card Law Without Congress]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[On Friday afternoon, USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser announced that immigrants already living legally in the United States must return to their home countries to apply for green cards. No vote. No new law. Just a memo that contradicts Section 245 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, on the books since 1952. We break down what this means for the nurses, engineers, teachers, and families who built their lives here legally.

Civil rights attorney Karen Crotchfield explains the legal mechanism the administration is using to dodge the statute, and why lawsuits will be filed Monday morning. Veteran reporter Jimmy Fiddler shares what his sources inside the Detroit USCIS Field Office told him about officers walking off the job. Forensic accountant Chubba Genie follows the $3.8 billion fee trail and explains why this policy is financial self-sabotage for the agency itself.

We drop in on the regulars at the bar throughout the night, where Trump voters are voicing buyer's remorse in real time. Hancho Padre brings the mob-life perspective on what he calls 'the squeeze.' Leviticus 19:33 frames the whole hour: when a stranger lives with you in your land, you shall not oppress him. Call your senator Monday morning.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Autism Therapy Clinics Billing Medicaid While Toddlers Sleep]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[The New York Times exposed a disturbing racket: private equity-backed autism therapy clinics are billing Medicaid for hours while autistic toddlers sleep on cots. Maxi Holler is joined by Hauncho, forensic accountant Chubba Gin-Jani, civil rights lawyer Karen Crotchfield, and reporter Jimmy Fiddler to break down how chains like Centria, Hopebridge, and ABS Kids stack three billing tricks: max-code overbilling, billing during nap time, and ghost staffing with undertrained teenagers.

The regulars at the bar weigh in with their own stories - 18-month waitlists, 90-minute drives to clinics that actually answer the phone, and parents too desperate to complain. Karen explains why these cases settle civilly with no executives in handcuffs, while Hauncho compares the operation to the union pension rackets he used to run. The episode closes with the story of Maria and her five-year-old son Diego, who stopped speaking after six months at one of these clinics.

This is a non-monetized community effort. Call your state senator tonight and ask why no clinic executive is in handcuffs. Tonight's verse: Proverbs 22:22-23.

      <title><![CDATA[Pentagon Buys Canadian Mines: Equity Stakes in Critical Minerals Exposed]]></title>
      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Pentagon Buys Canadian Mines: Equity Stakes in Critical Minerals Exposed]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[Tonight's investigation reveals how the Pentagon's Defense Production Act Title III fund is quietly purchasing equity stakes in Canadian mining operations - lithium, cobalt, tungsten, and graphite. Hundreds of millions of dollars across a dozen Canadian operations including Lithium Americas, Fortune Minerals, and tungsten outfits in the Yukon. The Carney government in Ottawa, which campaigned on 'elbows up' against Trump, has fast-tracked these deals under the banner of critical mineral strategy.

Our panel breaks down the mechanics: convertible notes, equity warrants, and off-take agreements that give the Pentagon first call on the metal before Canadian industry. Chubba Ginjani follows the money, Karen Crotchfield explains how the Investment Canada Act review was bypassed through creeping acquisition, and Jimmy Fiddler reports from mining country where workers found out from press releases. We name names - the Pentagon's DPA Title III Office, Mark Carney's Ottawa, Lithium Americas, Fortune Minerals.

At the heart of this story is Joseph McKenzie, 71, a Tlicho First Nation elder near Fortune's cobalt project, whose grandkids breathe dust the mining company won't explain. The duty to consult doesn't trigger because the Pentagon investment is classed as private foreign investment. Tonight's verse: Deuteronomy 28:33.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Tennessee Judge Dismisses Abrego Garcia Case as Political Prosecution]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[A federal judge in Tennessee has thrown out the criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland sheet metal apprentice wrongfully deported to El Salvador's mega-prison in March 2025. The judge ruled it a vindictive political prosecution, brought only after Abrego embarrassed the administration by surviving his wrongful deportation and forcing the Supreme Court to order his return.

We break down the timeline: the violated 2019 withholding of removal order, the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling, the three-month delay in compliance, and the human smuggling charges filed the moment his feet touched American soil. Forensic accountant Chubba Janney walks through the $6 million the U.S. paid the Bukele regime to imprison the wrong man. Civil rights attorney Karen Crotchfield explains why vindictive prosecution rulings are so rare, and Jimmy Fiddler's DOJ source reveals two resignations and three case reassignments before prosecutors would sign.

From the Anvil bar, regulars confront the chilling effect: nurses taking fake names, families afraid to sign contracts, a 12-year-old asking if her uncle will come home. This is commentary. We name names: Stephen Miller, Pam Bondi, Emil Bove. Non-monetized community effort. Get involved.

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Texas GOP Picks Indicted Paxton Over Cornyn: Loyalty Beats Law]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[Texas Republicans just ousted four-term Senator John Cornyn in favor of Attorney General Ken Paxton, a man whose own top deputies reported him to the FBI for alleged bribery. We break down how Paxton, despite being impeached by his own party and facing securities fraud charges, won a primary where he was outspent three to one. The answer? A single Trump endorsement that volunteers used as their only talking point at the doors.

Join Maxi Holler and the regulars at the bar as we name names and bring the receipts. Karen Crutchfield walks us through the legal maze, Shabbat Ginjani follows the Nate Paul money trail, Hancho Padre explains how a political boss operates like a crime family, and Jimmy Fiddler reports from precincts in Collin County. We discuss the eight whistleblower deputies who lost their jobs for telling the truth, the taxpayer-funded settlement, and what this means for every honest public servant in America.

The verse tonight is Proverbs 17:15 — he who acquits the guilty and condemns the innocent, the Lord detests them both. This is commentary and opinion. Settle in, pour one out for the whistleblowers, and ask yourself who pays when loyalty becomes the only currency that matters.
