6:35 Macy Petty, legislative strategist, Concerned Women for America. CWA Legislative Action Committee is dedicated to promoting Biblical values and Constitutional principles in public policy. More information is available at www.ConcernedWomen.org.
Macy Petty with Concerned Women for America (CWA), and a former NCAA volleyball player, exposes the reality behind USA Volleyball’s new gender competition policy in a new Fox News opinion piece.
She reveals that USA Volleyball appears to comply with President Trump’s executive order, but in reality, does not. “USA Volleyball does not even acknowledge that sex exists, opting for the Orwellian ‘sex assigned at birth’ narrative. Their ‘gender competition policy’ treats a foundational component of humanity as if it is as arbitrary as your favorite color,” she writes.
This comes on the heels of new CWA research finding that trans-identifying males have stolen over 1,941 gold medals from women and girls in the United States alone, and have stolen over $493,173 in prize money from women in professional sports.

7:10 Mike O’Neil, VP of Legal Affairs at www.LandmarkLegal.org Landmark Legal Foundation. Mike says don’t do a special counsel for “RussiaGate” and we discuss why. Here’s his Op-Ed
A grand jury has been appointed by the Department of Justice to investigate the Russiagate conspiracy allegations. Meanwhile, there are a few people in the Senate calling for the appointment of a special counsel. Landmark Legal Foundation’s Michael O’Neill has an op-ed in the Washington Times explaining why that’s a terrible idea.
Don’t appoint a special counsel to investigate the Russia collusion hoax
A Justice Department task force is what’s really needed
By Michael O’Neill – Monday, August 4, 2025
Evidence coming to light in the past several weeks paints a clear picture: In the summer of 2016, Hillary Clinton authorized her campaign team to “smear Donald Trump” by attempting to connect him to Russian interference in the election.
She did this partly to distract from mounting pressure to answer claims about her missing emails. Obama officials jumped in shortly thereafter and used intelligence and criminal investigative agencies, including the FBI and CIA, to lend these claims the patina of legitimacy.
These people, including the president himself, repackaged a mix of bad and benign intelligence to substantiate false claims that Mr. Trump colluded with Russia to win the election. CIA Director John O. Brennan overruled objections from his senior intelligence officials by concluding that Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Russia had “aspired to help Present-elect Trump’s election chances.”
The width and breadth of the collusion that evidently took place to undermine the Trump campaign and later the Trump presidency is truly staggering.
In light of these revelations, several senators have called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the matter. They think a special counsel would have the resources and singular focus to determine whether to bring criminal charges. An appointment would also discredit claims that the Trump administration is engaging in political retaliation.
So far, the Justice Department has not indicated that the attorney general intends to appoint a special counsel. Rather, the department has designated a strike force to investigate potential next steps and determine whether criminal charges will be brought.
The attorney general should reject calls for appointing a special counsel for at least three reasons. First, special counsels take an inordinate amount of time to accomplish their assigned tasks; they are not obligated to meet deadlines. John Durham’s investigation took more than three years and yielded a 300-plus-page unclassified report that barely registered on the public’s radar. The all-important annex recently brought to light was kept hidden from the American people until last week.
Next, appointing a special counsel is unnecessary because there are no conflict-of-interest issues. Traditionally, special counsels are tasked with investigating officials in the current administration. The Obama officials who would inevitably be targeted are private citizens who do not serve in the Trump administration. In theory, it makes sense that an administration assigns a person outside the government to investigate government officials. That theory doesn’t apply here, as any special counsel would be investigating former officials.
Most important, appointing a special counsel raises legal and constitutional problems that would inevitably be litigated before any investigation could begin. Last summer, Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that former special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment was improper because it violated the Constitution’s appointment clause.
Special counsels wield the same authority as U.S. attorneys, yet they are not subject to confirmation by the Senate. Nor are they subject to the impeachment process. No law gives the attorney general statutory authority to appoint a special counsel. Rest assured that these arguments will be presented (and possibly litigated to the Supreme Court) should any special counsel indict Mrs. Clinton or another former Obama official.
The Justice Department has constitutional and statutory authority to investigate and prosecute federal law violations. A task force of experienced criminal prosecutors and investigators answerable to the attorney general will quickly and decisively determine whether to bring criminal charges.
Talk of appointing any special counsel detracts from the central point: Mrs. Clinton and others in the Obama administration appear to have weaponized intelligence resources to destroy a political rival. The people responsible should be held accountable.

8:10 John Leake, https://www.thefocalpoints.com/ author of Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality has worked with Dr. Peter McCullough and was the primary author of their bestselling book The Courage to Face COVID-19.
John is a nonfiction author with a lifelong interest in medical history and forensic medicine. Since 2021, he has worked with Dr. Peter McCullough and was the primary author of their bestselling book The Courage to Face COVID-19. He writes a daily investigative report for the Focal Points – www.thefocalpoints.com
Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality tells the story of this technology and the celebrated men who developed it with some success, but also with failures that are never mentioned in the celebratory literature on vaccines. Vaccine advocates often proclaim that they “follow the science,” but most vaccine development has been a matter of guesses, gambles, and wild experimentation. Its key figures have been biased by religious faith, wishful thinking, ideology, and a desire for recognition and money.
Though credit is due to some vaccines for reducing infectious disease morbidity and mortality, their contribution to public health in developed nations has been grossly exaggerated by propagandists. Dramatic improvements in nutrition and sanitation were the primary drivers of this trend. The authors do not dismiss the concept of vaccination but seek to promote a more informed and less dogmatic discussion about its risks and benefits. Critical evaluation can only make the technology safer and more effective.

6:35 Paul Oster – The subject matter is the end of the Biden-era student loan pause on student loan repayments. Paul is referred to as ‘The Nation’s Credit Repair Man’. He is a longtime credit repair pro and founder of credit repair firm ‘Better Qualified’. His website is: betterqualified.com.
Paul suggests for student loans, first head to www.Studentaid.gov
Millions of student borrowers could begin having their wages garnished as soon as this month. Credit reporting agency TransUnion predicts about 3 million borrowers this month could default on their loans and immediately have 15-percent of their pay garnished by the government. The pandemic-era pause on student loan payments ended in May and many student borrowers have so far not begun to repay their loans.
“This is the first dangerous step to damaging your credit,” says longtime credit repair and credit management specialist and owner of credit repair firm Better Qualified Paul Oster (see short bio below). “It is imperative to put a plan together right now to begin to pay back something or call the borrower and work something out. Ignoring repayment multiples your credit problems in a hurry.”
It’s not uncommon for borrowers to be unaware that their loans are in default. If borrowers attended college or graduate school during different periods of time, or if they have different federal loan types, they may also have multiple loan servicers. A Biden-administration grace period, during which late or missed payments were not counted against credit scores, ended last fall.
So, what is Job One to getting your arms around this?

6:35 David Eliot discusses his book Artificially Intelligent: The Very Human Story of AI, which University of Toronto Press will publish on October 21st. Pre-order HERE: https://utppublishing.com/doi/book/10.3138/9781487567675
Think AI is all about data and algorithms? Think again. In Artificially Intelligent, researcher David Eliot places humans at the center of AI’s story, making a compelling case for the role we have yet to play in the technology’s transformation of our world.
Taking readers on a journey through the key moments and decisions that have shaped AI’s creation and, consequently, our lives, this socially-driven history shows how AI has the capacity to impact everything from education, sports, and medicine to business, culture, and dating—from how we learn to who we love. And it answers the big questions: How exactly does AI work? Will AI make our work life easier or will it cost us our jobs? Will it lead to cookie-cutter art, movies, music, and books or will it have a liberating effect on creativity? Is AI racist?
Inviting readers to find their place in the story of AI, Artificially Intelligent helps us understand its effect on our lives and to decide what kind of future we want to help create. It tells the story of the technology the way it was meant to be told: not as an exhaustive retelling of history or a prophecy of doom, but as a human story that is very much a work in progress. As David Eliot explains, the story of AI isn’t finished. The question is: How will you be part of it?
DAVID ELIOT is a PhD candidate at the University of Ottawa, where he researches the social and political effects of artificial intelligence. He is a member of the Critical Surveillance Studies Lab, and his work on AI has been recognized with numerous awards, including the 2022 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation PhD Scholarship.
7:10 Scott Walter is the President of the Capital Research Center www.CapitalResearch.org , which is an investigative think tank. Scott is also author of Arabella: The Dark Money Network of Leftist Billionaires Secretly Transforming America.
Every year, billions of American taxpayer dollars fund pseudo-charities that serve as little more than extensions of the Democratic Party. With roughly half of Americans voting as Republicans, many citizens are bankrolling their own political opposition — and the corruption runs deeper than one might imagine.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is finally exposing this corrupt system. What they’re finding should outrage every taxpayer: billions of dollars flowing to organizations that aren’t “NGOs” — that’s Washington-speak for non-governmental organizations, otherwise known as “nonprofits.” No, these groups are really BGOs — basically government organizations.
Consider the Solidarity Center, a group that’s been awarded over $86 million in federal funding since 2008, with $61 million given during the Biden administration. This union-created outfit gets 99% of its revenue from taxpayers while serving the AFL-CIO, which gave 86% of its political donations to Democrats in the 2024 election. The Solidarity Center doesn’t just promote union causes. It champions radical “climate justice” and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. When DOGE recommended ending its federal gravy train, the group promptly sued the Trump administration.

Crater Lake
By Dennis Powers
The first non-Native American to view Crater Lake is generally credited to John Wesley Hillman, a California prospector who was searching for the fabled “Lost Cabin Mine.” As the story goes, Hillman rode his mule in June of 1853, to a rim, where if it hadn’t stopped a few feet from the edge, he would have pitched over to his death. As his group marveled at the sight, a vote was taken on its name between “Mysterious Lake” and “Deep Blue Lake” with the latter chosen. The discovery was also referred to later as “Lake Mystery.”
Created after a violent eruption of an ancient volcano, Crater Lake formed 7,700 years ago by an explosion calculated to be 42 times as powerful as the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. The mountain then was 10,000 to 12,000 feet high and later named Mount Mazama. A basin or caldera formed when the volcano’s top 5,000 feet collapsed from the ash and lava that exploded out. When the lava flows sealed its bottom, the subsequent rainfall and snowmelt over countless years filled this with 4.6 trillion gallons of water. The collapsed basin is roughly 3.7 by 5.5 miles, and the ash settled in a distinct layer over several thousand square miles.
The deepest lake in the U.S. was thus formed at 1,932 feet (sonar mapping in 2000 came up with an average depth of 1,943 feet)–and the seventh deepest in the world–that today is half-filled with water. A small volcanic island named Wizard Island is on the lake’s west side. Surrounded by black, volcanic lava blocks, its cinder cone rises 760 feet above the lake with a small crater at its summit.
The lake’s water is so clear that it holds a world-clarity record of 142 feet. The dramatic deep-blue color is due to its great depth, water clarity, and the way light interacts with water. Water molecules absorb the longer wavelengths of light better (reds, oranges, yellows, and greens). Shorter wavelengths (blues) are more easily scattered than soaked up. In the deep lake, some of the scattered blue light is redirected back to the surface to where the color is visible.
Peter Britt took the first surviving picture of Crater Lake in 1874; in 1902, President Roosevelt signed the law designating Crater Lake as the 6th National Park that now contains over 183,000 acres. The 30-mile Rim Drive around Crater Lake is two-lanes with scenic overlooks. From mid-October until mid-June, the north entrance and Rim Drive are closed due to deep snow and ice buildups, although the lake rarely freezes over.
Although visitors can fish (non-native rainbow trout and kokanee salmon) and swim, the surface water is cold but “warms” up in the summer to 55° to 60°. The “yellow stuff” floating in the water then is simply pine pollen that settles later to the bottom.
More visitors from California than from Oregon usually visit, and total visitations (including overseas visitors) number now over 500,000 people every year. This is one of the premier landmarks in Southern Oregon that people have marveled at since the first roads and treks led there.
