  GOP 2026: So... What Are We Doing? | Vish Burra | The Jeff Dornik Show

  Sep 11, 20261h 5m

  Vish Burra joins The Jeff Dornik Show LIVE exclusively on Rumble as we dig into a pretty basic question that somehow feels increasingly complicated: What exactly does the Republican Party stand for? With the GOP’s first-ever midterm convention wrapping up in Dallas, we’ll talk about what Republicans are actually asking voters to support in 2026, what happens to the party when Trump leaves office after 2028, and whether there is a coherent vision beyond one political personality. Plus, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, we look back at the attack that briefly united America, the promise that we would “never forget,” and how dramatically the country has changed since then. SPONSOR: Think the mainstream media is manipulating you? Following the Leader pulls back the curtain on the shocking truth behind how global elites use propaganda and mass control to push their agenda—and it's far worse than you imagine.

  Breaking ICE: Immigration, Borders & Resistance | Sonali Kolhatkar | DeProgram

  Sep 9, 20261h 8m

  Journalist and author Sonali Kolhatkar joins Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas on DeProgram to discuss her new book Breaking ICE and the growing national fight over immigration enforcement. The conversation tackles ICE raids and detention, surveillance technology, undocumented immigration, American workers and wages, national borders and sovereignty, crime, labor shortages, and the role communities are playing in resisting federal immigration enforcement. Ted and Jamarl press Kolhatkar on whether nations have the right to control their borders and what meaningful immigration enforcement should look like, while Kolhatkar argues that the United States' current approach is increasingly harmful to immigrants, citizens, and local communities alike. After the interview, producer Robby West joins the Q&A and strongly challenges several claims made during the discussion—particularly arguments surrounding immigration, American wages, sovereignty, and whether the guest received enough pushback from the hosts. It becomes a considerably more heated conversation from there. Topics include: ICE and immigration enforcement, Breaking ICE, undocumented immigration, American wages and workers, border sovereignty, immigrant crime, surveillance and license-plate readers, labor shortages, community resistance, Donald Trump's immigration policies, and the economic consequences of immigration. DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas brings together political commentary, disagreement, debate, and long-form conversations about the issues driving American politics.

  Far Right Wins in Germany, Bill Ackman's Experimental Medicine & Malta Pays Drivers

  Sep 8, 20261 hour

  Germany's political establishment just got rocked. On this episode of The TMI Show, Manila Chan, Ted Rall and Producer Robby dig into Alternative for Germany's stunning performance in Saxony-Anhalt—and immediately end up in a fiery debate over immigration, nationalism, Germany's Nazi past, the future of the European Union and whether the traditional labels of “left” and “right” even make sense in modern European politics. AfD's surge comes amid enormous dissatisfaction with Chancellor Friedrich Merz's government, with voters focused on the cost of living, pensions and Germany's stagnant economy. The conversation quickly expands into a much bigger question: What happens to the EU if nationalist and populist parties eventually take power in both Germany and France? Also on the show: federal authorities receive court approval to force-feed an ICE detainee on hunger strike, prompting a heated argument over bodily autonomy, government custody and whether officials have the right—or responsibility—to prevent a detainee from starving himself. Then billionaire Bill Ackman's family tragedy leads to an extraordinary medical experiment. After his 26-year-old daughter Lucy suffered a devastating brain hemorrhage, doctors received emergency FDA authorization to inject mitochondria harvested from her leg muscles into her eyes in an attempt to repair damaged optic nerves. Ackman has since pledged more than $400 million toward research into brain recovery, rehabilitation, longevity and human performance. And finally: Would you give up driving for $29,000? Malta wants to pay eligible young drivers €25,000 to surrender their licenses for five years in an effort to reduce traffic congestion and encourage public transportation. There's just one catch that has the TMI crew wondering whether Malta managed to ruin an otherwise clever idea. Plus: TMI explains why the show is intentionally rebuilding its presence on YouTube while remaining on Rumble—and why changing creator economics have forced independent shows to rethink where they invest their time. It's politics, science, immigration, sovereignty, experimental medicine and $29,000 for sitting your ass on a bus. It's TMI.

  Trump 2.0: America First, Terms Apply | Ann Vandersteel | The Jeff Dornik Show

  Sep 7, 20261 hour

  Apparently “America First” now comes with a terms-of-service agreement. Ann Vandersteel joins me on The Jeff Dornik Show for a wide-ranging conversation about what happens when political loyalty replaces actual principles, Republicans become afraid to criticize their own side and Americans are kept fighting over personalities while the donor class, intelligence apparatus and technocrats keep accumulating power. We get into Trump 2.0, the AI and data-center gold rush, Elon Musk and X Money, universal basic income, censorship, corporate-government partnerships, the Federal Reserve, the IRS, media access journalism and why surrendering constitutional rights to beat China still leaves you without constitutional rights. The bigger question is simple: are we actually putting Americans first, or just building a shinier digital prison with an American flag hanging out front?

  7 Attitudes Every Christian Should Have | Pastor Nathan Bemis | 2 Timothy 2

  Sep 5, 202653 min

  What kind of attitude should define the Christian life? Preaching from 2 Timothy chapter 2, Pastor Nathan Bemis walks through seven biblical attitudes that every Christian should seek to develop and maintain. The Christian life isn't meant to be passive. Scripture pictures the believer as a son, soldier, runner, husbandman, workman, vessel, and servant—each revealing something important about how Christians should live for Jesus Christ. The first attitude begins with knowing who you are: “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” — 2 Timothy 2:1 (KJV) A Christian should never hide his identity in Christ. Pastor Bemis challenges believers to live openly as children of God and let others know that they belong to Jesus Christ. Then comes the soldier: “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” — 2 Timothy 2:3 (KJV) Christians will lose battles. They will experience hardship, temptation, disappointment, and failure. But a good soldier doesn't abandon the war because he lost a battle. Get back up and keep fighting. Pastor Bemis also challenges Christians to run their own race—and run it to win. Don't spend your Christian life trying to run someone else's race. Give God your best while there is still time. Seven attitudes of the Christian life: A Son — Know that you belong to God. A Soldier — Endure hardness and keep fighting. A Runner — Run your race faithfully and according to God's rules. A Husbandman — Labor while allowing God to produce the fruit. A Workman — Study and rightly divide the Word of Truth. A Vessel — Keep yourself clean and prepared for the Master's use. A Servant — Remember who your Master is and faithfully serve Him. One of the strongest challenges comes directly from 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV): “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Pastor Bemis urges Christians not merely to own or occasionally read their Bible, but to study it and make God's Word central to their lives. Finally, the Christian is a vessel prepared for the Master's use and a servant belonging to Jesus Christ. We were bought with a price at the cross. Our lives therefore belong to Him. Scripture: 2 Timothy 2 (KJV) The question Pastor Bemis leaves us with is simple: What kind of attitude do you have in your Christian life?
