The land bridge over the Bering Strait wasn't the way in after all.

Sit back, relax, and let’s Break It Down in episode 78…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel may have the week off on TV, but that didn’t stop him from repeating one of his favorite lines about supporters of President Trump’s agenda being bad Christians and wondering how they can go to church. This time the conversation revolved around deporting illegal immigrants and took place on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast that was released on Wednesday but taped before Kimmel got himself suspended for remarks about the political affiliation of Charlie Kirk’s assassin. Actor and host Ted Danson gushed over his guest, “And then the courage you have to take on things that are just wrong and people, some of us, you know, are trying to look the other way. And you look directly at it, and you go after it, whether it's this administration or what. And that courage is really admirable. I really admire you.”     Kimmel thanked Danson for the sentiment while adding, “It especially bothers me, you know, being brought up Catholic in a very positive Catholic environment that Christianity is — has been co-opted and perverted in such a way, and that I find especially upsetting, and that I think about what Jesus would think of this stuff, you know, and I mean, seems pretty plain that he wouldn't think it's great that he wouldn't approve of nannies being yanked out of the park and thrust into a van to be returned to their home countries because their paperwork is not in order.” As Kimmel invoked Jesus to defend his position, he did so with a rather unbiblical analogy, “A lot of people who are watching that show [The Ellen DeGeneres Show] in the Midwest, maybe didn't know somebody who was openly gay. Right. And so they are against gay marriage. They see it as, you know, against their religion or whatever for whatever reason, and they're against it. But then they get to know somebody like Ellen, and they go, ‘Well, she seems okay.’ And then they say, ‘Well, now I feel like I have a friend who's—or, you know, one of their children comes out, and they suddenly have a different perspective on that.” Kimmel then dishonestly claimed, “It seems like the perspective— this like ‘we've got to stop the immigrants’ are coming from places that don't have a lot of them, you know.”     He should try telling that to the border communities. Still, Kimmel returned to the idea that supporting immigration enforcement makes you a bad Christian, “I know a lot of people who came to this country illegally, if you want to call it that, and who are great people and who not only are they not a drain on our society, they're contributing a great deal to our society. Even if you look at this issue selfishly, which I think a lot of people do, you know, even if you look at it selfishly, it does not make sense to kick these people out. Besides the fact that it's just, like, how can you go to church on Sunday and think this is okay to do to these families, to do to these people, and to be so cold about it.” Kimmel also had a rather odd claim where he suggested that the people who employ illegal immigrants and pay them under the table are the same people who argue that what illegal immigrants pay in sales taxes does not outweigh what they take out in welfare: “Whether you want to believe it or not, they are paying taxes. You know, everything that they buy is taxed. And anybody who's not paying them in the proper way is part of the, you know, of whatever the problem is. Like, if you choose not to pay regular income tax, you know, Social Security tax to your employees or whatever, you have no right to say you need to be out of this country. I mean, it's hypocritical. It's anti-everything that I personally believe. It's heartless. It's cruel. More than anything, it's just cruel and I just don’t get it.” If you are claiming that supporting immigration enforcement makes you a bad Christian and your analogy is same-sex marriage, it signifies that you are actually the one trying to twist the Bible to fit your agenda. Here is a transcript for the October 22 show: Where Everybody Knows Your Name 10/22/2025 TED DANSON: And then the courage you have to take on things that are just wrong and people, some of us, you know, are trying to look the other way. And you look directly at it, and you go after it, whether it's this administration or what. And that courage is really admirable. I really admire you. JIMMY KIMMEL: Well, thank you. I appreciate that. I don't think of it as courage. I think of it as just obvious. I think of it as having really no choice but to talk about these things and to say these things. You know, just the way I was brought up, I think it makes perfect sense. It especially bothers me, you know, being brought up Catholic in a very positive Catholic environment that Christianity is— DANSON: Something else now. KIMMEL: — has been co-opted and perverted in such a way, and that I find especially upsetting, and that I think about what Jesus would think of this stuff, you know, and I mean, seems pretty plain that he wouldn't think it's great that he wouldn't approve of nannies being yanked out of the park and thrust into a van to be returned to their home countries— DANSON: Yeah. KIMMEL: because their paperwork is not in order. … KIMMEL: And you know, it's interesting when you know people, when you get to know people, like for instance, like when Ellen came on television— DANSON: Right. KIMMEL: — most people in the Midwest, I shouldn't say this, but there —   a lot of people who are watching that show in the Midwest, maybe didn't know somebody who was openly gay. Right. DANSON: Right. KIMMEL: And so they are against gay marriage. They see it as, you know, against their religion or whatever for whatever reason, and they're against it. But then they get to know somebody like Ellen, and they go, "Well, she seems okay." And then they say, "Well, now I feel like I have a friend who's—” or, you know, one of their children comes out, and they suddenly have a different perspective on that. It seems like the perspective— this like "we've got to stop the immigrants" are coming from places that don't have a lot of them, you know. I mean, I know for me and grow living here in L.A. for the last 30-something years I know a lot of people who came to this country illegally, if you want to call it that, and who are great people and who not only are they not a drain on our society, they're contributing a great deal to our society. I mean, even if you look at this issue selfishly, which I think a lot of people do, you know, even if you look at it selfishly, it does not make sense to kick these people out. Besides the fact that it's just, like, how can you go to church on Sunday and think this is okay to do to these families, to do to these people, and to be so cold about it and for there to be— now, listen okay I get it there's there are things you know I would understand if I'm an immigrant who followed all the rules and came into this country and, you know, jumped through all the hoops that I might be somewhat resentful of somebody who, you know, snuck in in some way or whatever, but you know, people are just looking for better lives. They're just trying to improve their lives for their families, for themselves. They come here, they work hard. They— whether you want to believe it or not, they are paying taxes. You know, everything that they buy is taxed. And anybody who's not paying them in the proper way is part of the, you know, of whatever the problem is. Like, if you choose not to pay regular income tax, you know, Social Security tax to your employees or whatever, you have no right to say you need to be out of this country. I mean, it's hypocritical. It's anti-everything that I personally believe. It's heartless. It's cruel. More than anything, it's just cruel and I just don’t get it.

With the political tide changing following the last election, America has seen a drawdown of the Biden administration’s efforts to upend Americans’ free speech liberties. Yet, the fight to preserve America’s first freedoms on the judicial stage wages on. MRC is honored to have awarded free speech champion Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk with this year’s MRC Free Speech Award. In addition to celebrating Kirk for giving his life for America’s first freedoms, the MRC is also using Free Speech Week to recognize other leaders, including Trump officials, members of Congress and public and foreign advocates. Three pro-free speech legal officers are also among those celebrated by MRC. In spite of what you may have read or heard from the legacy media or leftist talking heads regarding Big Tech platforms and their supposed right to “moderate content” — censor American speech really — the United States Supreme Court has never fully determined the limits of tech platform liability shield Section 230. Just last week, the U.S. Supreme Court — led by controversial Chief Justice John Roberts — declined review in a case asking for clarity on the meaning of 47 U.S.C. § 230, or Section 230. This is despite a chorus of voices demanding the Court do its job and interpret the law.  Section 230’s text holds that tech platforms cannot be held liable as “publishers” for the third-party content they host, and that they don’t lose their immunity when engaging in certain types of content moderation (such as removing “obscene” or “lewd” posts). Absurdly, some lower courts have taken this a step too far and have held that this shield gives Big Tech total immunity to engage in viewpoint and even racial discrimination on their platforms. Other courts have, equally confoundingly, insisted Section 230 doesn’t apply to algorithms.  The lower court interpretations fly in the face of longstanding First Amendment doctrines, such as the category of “common carriers.” Common carriers are private companies (such as utilities, telecommunications firms, and railroads) that hold themselves out as “open to the public” and also control access to other markets. A common carrier is forbidden from denying service to or discriminating against its customers. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas explained how Section 230’s text seemingly views digital platforms like common carriers: “A traditional telephone company laid physical wires to create a network connecting people. Digital platforms lay information infrastructure that can be controlled in much the same way. And unlike newspapers, digital platforms hold themselves out as organizations that focus on distributing the speech of the broader public. Federal law dictates that companies cannot ‘be treated as the publisher or speaker’ of information that they merely distribute.” But Thomas is not alone. Other major leaders in the free speech movement have also argued similarly for Section 230 clarification and the enforcement of common carrier laws. Texas Governor Greg Abbott: “Newspapers cannot be censored, but they can be sued for libel. The social media platforms, by contrast, have received special legal status from the federal government in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects them from liability for the content they publish by declaring that they are not publishers or speakers. Having won market dominance thanks to Section 230’s immunity handout, these social media giants cannot claim to be speakers again now that it’s convenient.” Vice President JD Vance: “Google’s claim that ‘Google Search is not a service involving … carriage’ and is therefore not susceptible to common carrier regulation is perplexing. [] Both the United States and Ohio Supreme Courts have easily classified new message-bearing technologies, such as telegraphs and telephones, as common carriers. Google naturally follows this rule.” Ohio Attorney General David Yost: “Ohio has an interest in ensuring that Google, its users, and the entities whose information Google carries are aware that Google Search is a common carrier under Ohio law. Ohio also has an interest in ensuring that as a common carrier Google Search does not unfairly discriminate against third party websites; that Google carries all responsive search results on an equal basis; and that it provides the public with ready access to organic search results that the Google Search algorithms produce.” America First Policy Institute: “The best solution is to require Big Tech platforms to act as common carriers to receive Section 230 protections. Common carriers such as telephone companies must accept all customers without discrimination, and they cannot deny Americans service because they do not like their phone conversations. The courts have long held that common carrier requirements are compatible with the First Amendment.” Below are two officials who served at the state level and one judge that deserve credit for their role in continuing to fight to preserve the Founders’ vision for American free speech rights as a part of the judicial branch of governance in the U.S. The MRC is proud to recognize the following legal officers for their actions in defense of Americans’ free speech rights: Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (now FBI Co-Deputy Director)As attorney general, Bailey introduced an ingenious plan to stop censorship, instituting a “choose-your-own content moderation” approach that forces censors to actually admit their intentions. Now, as FBI deputy director, Bailey is part of the team battling to bring desperately needed reform to an agency that has long been used to silence and subjugate.   Ohio Attorney General Dave YostAfter years of legal battles, Attorney General Yost has seen success in his quest to get courts to acknowledge what we all know — Google is a “common carrier” engaged in unlawful discrimination. Judge Andrew Oldham, U.S. Seventh CircuitJudge Oldham has continued to demand searching inquiry when enforcing Texas’s anti-censorship law, which was unanimously upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in Moody v. NetChoice. Judge Oldham has rejected the false Big Tech argument that just because internet publishers are protected by the First Amendment for their algorithms, the same holds true for every platform (even ones where the operators eschew all claims of control or liability).   MRC presented 35 pro-free speech advocates with the prestigious MRC Free Speech Award last year, honoring the original vision for Free Speech Week with 2024 awards. 2024 award winners included: five winners from the U.S. Senate, 10 winners from the U.S. House of Representatives, 10 winners from attorneys general to governors, state legislators and FCC and 10 thoughts leaders.

"President Trump and Congressional Republicans' pro-growth policies have successfully tamed inflation,” the Job Creators Networks (JCN) declared Friday, responding to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) inflation report for September. The seasonally-adjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 0.3% over the month, less than August’s 0.4% month-to-month rise and below analysts’ expectations of 0.4%. Compared to September 2024, CPI increased 3.0%, also besting expectations of 3.1%. Year-to-year in August, CPI rose 2.9%. The increase in the so-called “core” CPI, which excludes the volatile food and energy sectors, eased to 0.2% in September, after rising 0.3% in both July and August. Compared to year-ago, core CPI rose 3.0% in September. Indexes that increased over the month include shelter, airline fares, recreation, household furnishings and operations, and apparel. The indexes for motor vehicle insurance, used cars and trucks, and communication were among the indexes that decreased in September. “Low inflation, tax cuts, and falling interest rates are propelling a strong economy that the media is purposely missing,” the Job Creators Network said in a statement cheering September’s results. "Yet Democrats' refusal to reopen the government threatens this progress,” JCN CEO Alfredo Ortiz explained, addressing Democrats’ refusal to fund the government unless they get a $1.5 trillion increase funding for agenda items like health care for illegal aliens: “The Schumer shutdown is stopping record Small Business Administration loan activity and hurting the countless small businesses that depend on federal government contracts and activity. “Democrats need to stop holding the Main Street economy hostage and pass Republicans' clean continuing resolution to ensure Trump's economic train continues on the tracks."  September CPI data collection was completed before the lapse in appropriations. The government shut down on October 1, when Congress failed to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government open.

This is a topic I cherish deeply and I’ve been telling people a lot, like a broken record if you will, that keeping a clear and safe mind is critical during a crisis. You can stockpile a decade’s worth of food and fortify your property like a medieval castle, but that’s not enough. None of […]

President Donald Trump announced late Thursday evening that he was terminating all trade negotiations with Canada.The president — who struck a positive tone about the northern nation during his meeting earlier this month with Prime Minister Mark Carney and signaled a desire to make a deal on steel, aluminum, and energy — indicated that the decision to nix trade talks was in response to "egregious behavior," namely the decision by a provincial government to run TV ads critiquing tariffs south of the border.'CANADA CHEATED AND GOT CAUGHT!!!'"The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs," wrote Trump. "The ad was for $75,000,000. They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts."The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments next month regarding the legality of the tariffs imposed by Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.Trump apparently saw the ad earlier in the week, telling reporters on Tuesday, "If I was Canada, I'd take that same ad also. They're actually on television taking ads."Ontario Premier Doug Ford's office indicated last week that it was spending $75 million on an anti-tariff ad that would air on ABC, Bloomberg, CBS, CNBC, ESPN, Fox News, NBC, Newsmax, and other networks.Ford noted on Oct. 16, "It's official: Ontario's new advertising campaign in the U.S. has launched. Using every tool we have, we'll never stop making the case against American tariffs on Canada. The way to prosperity is by working together."RELATED: After years of woke land acknowledgments, some Canadian homeowners may soon be evicted Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Photographer: David Kawai/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesThe premier, a staunch critic of the raft of high tariffs Trump has imposed on imports from Canada, reportedly suggested to a crowd of Toronto businessmen last week that he was hoping the ad, which contains audio from former President Ronald Reagan's April 25, 1987, radio address regarding protectionism, would resonate with Republicans.In his address to the Toronto crowd, Ford cited new research from Yale University's Budget Lab indicating that "consumers face an overall average effective tariff rate of 18.0%, the highest since 1934," and that U.S. tariffs and foreign retaliation would cost American families roughly $1,800 a year in lost income."That ad — it's not a nasty ad. It's actually just very factual," said Ford. "Coming from a person like Ronald Reagan, every Republican is going to identify that voice."The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute issued a statement on Thursday, claiming that the ad "misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks."A spokesperson for Ford's office denied wrongdoing, telling Canadian state media, "The commercial uses an unedited excerpt from one of President Reagan’s public addresses, which is available through public domain."Reagan's remarks in Ford's ad all hail from the same five-minute speech in which the former president discussed both America's commitment to free trade and why he felt compelled to impose duties on select Japanese products. Contrary to the suggestion by Ford's spokesperson, the excerpt of the speech that appears in the 60-second ad has been substantially edited with the apparent intent to drive Ford's anti-tariff theme. For example:multiple sentences were cut; one sentence was lifted from its original spot at the outset of the speech and inserted midway through the ad with a "that" apparently swapped out for a "but";another portion, which originally appeared just before the opening remarks heard in the speech, now appears toward the end of the voice-over; andthe second-last last line of the original speech — "America's jobs and growth are at stake" — has been moved to serve as a conclusion for the ad.Below is a transcript of the Reagan voice-over for the ad. The ellipses signal where content was dropped, and those segments lifted from their original context elsewhere in the speech appear in bold:When someone says, "Let's impose tariffs on foreign imports,'' it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while it works — but only for a short time. [But] over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer. ... High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. ... Then the worst happens: Markets shrink and collapse; businesses and industries shut down; and millions of people lose their jobs. Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. America's jobs and growth are at stake.The foundation indicated it was "reviewing its legal options in this matter" and provided a link to the full speech on YouTube, which is labeled as "unrestricted" for both access and use restrictions.Trump leaned in to his criticism of Canada and the province's ad on Friday morning, writing, "CANADA CHEATED AND GOT CAUGHT!!! They fraudulently took a big buy ad saying that Ronald Reagan did not like Tariffs, when actually he LOVED TARIFFS FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND ITS NATIONAL SECURITY.""Canada is trying to illegally influence the United States Supreme Court in one of the most important rulings in the history of our Country," continued Trump. "Canada has long cheated on Tariffs, charging our farmers as much as 400%. Now they, and other countries, can’t take advantage of the U.S. any longer."Blaze News has reached out to Premier Ford's office for comment.Canadian state media indicated that Carney's office did not immediately respond to its request for comment.Like Blaze News?

Despite having an uncountable number of consumer goods available at the click of a button at prices our grandparents would have found astonishing, our homes are full of junk that isn’t worth the wholesale cost.New washing machines last a year or three at best, according to Americans who buy them. Worse, they don’t even wash clothes well, reined in as they are by government diktats about water and power consumption.I spent $15 for a beautiful, indestructible lifetime blender. Yes, the pitcher is glass.The same is true of almost every other appliance and machine in the contemporary American home. But it didn’t used to be this way. First, I’m going to tell you a story. Then I’m going to come back to the present and show you how to live like a king or queen on a budget with yesterday’s consumer durables.Merit-ocracyMy mother was standing over the dishwasher in our kitchen in 1986. It was a model from the 1950s, one of the wheeled, portable ones you brought over and hooked to the sink tap with a hose. The top-loading machine’s lid had what you might call formica “inlay” in 50s colors with random sparkles embedded. It was meant to be used as a countertop so that the bulky machine wasn’t merely a space-taker in a small kitchen.My mother was holding a broken clock radio. The digital display had “zeroed out,” showing only 00:00 no matter what time it was.“Damn it,” she said, exhaling from her Merit Ultra Light 100. “I just bought this a few months ago. There was a time when ‘made in America’ meant something. We used to make the best-quality goods in the world. Whatever you bought you could depend on for a long time. What the hell happened?”The dishwasher’s faithful service proved her point. The “outdated” 1950s dishwasher still cleaned dishes trouble-free. That was probably the first time I contemplated what it meant to call an appliance “outdated.” Within a few years, it was evident that “outdated” only meant “not in colors the people on TV think are modern.”The new clock radio made in 1986 couldn’t even give us three months’ service before going kaput. But the 1956 wash-o-matic was whirring its way to clean dishes in May 1986 as well as it did for its first owner during the Eisenhower administration.New phone, why dis?How many of your devices or appliances offer such simple, consistent performance? Are you satisfied with your new low-water front-loader and its Byzantine maze of touch-screen “options,” none of which are “wash my clothes in 25 minutes”? How about the repair bill for the chipset when the “smart” computer inside it fails, leaving the perfectly good mechanics idle?Do you like buying a new phone every few years? Think about that. Do you remember getting a “new phone” all the time 30 years ago? The very idea is absurd. Sure, our telephones in those days were simply and only telephones, not dating machines, compasses, and navigation systems. But are we sure that planned obsolescence in our every-device-in-one-wearable-computer is a lifestyle upgrade?You can get a new microwave, blender, or vacuum cleaner at Walmart for astoundingly low prices adjusted for inflation. In fact, you can get each of these in multiple versions and colors. But what, specifically and actually, are you getting? Cheap plastic that looks good on a display shelf but that scuffs, cracks, and loses tension-holding shape after a few uses.And do you need a new microwave? A new vacuum? If you said “yes” to that, are you sure? What is it that you “need” from a new appliance that you’re not getting from the old one? Assuming it’s not broken — and a lot of appliance purchases are made simply to “upgrade” — what’s wrong with your old vacuum?Be honest. You know that you don’t “need” most of these things. You’re buying them because of free-floating anxiety about keeping up with the Joneses. You want a new microwave and a new vacuum and new stainless-steel-fronted appliances because everyone else’s kitchen looks like this. Despite their inflated claims, the “updated” versions of almost all of these simple mechanicals do nothing different than their ancestors from 50 years ago.But now they’re ugly and short-lived.RELATED: Ode to an Electrolux model L Matt HimesSucks to be newYou don’t have to do any of this.
