Sheridan Gorman's Mother Destroys Democrats at Congress Hearing

NPR's Embarrassing Excuse, Another Socialist Victory, and S… · Jul 1, 2026 Government

Sheridan Gorman's mother came to testify about her 18-year-old daughter, shot dead by an illegal alien in Chicago. Democrats Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin greeted her with condolences — then immediately pivoted to complaining it was their fourth sanctuary cities hearing. Her ad-libbed rebuttal was devastating: 'There is no but when your child is in the coffin.'

Kiros on ICE and the Sheridan Gorman Hearing

At 44:00 · chapter starts 35:20

Kelly plays audio of Melat Kiros in an interview with Hasan Piker calling for an immediate pathway to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants — no ICE, no deportations, immediate amnesty. Kelly then shifts to an even more powerful story: while Kiros was winning her primary, Sheridan Gorman's mother was testifying before Congress about her daughter's murder at the hands of an illegal alien on a Chicago pier. Kelly provides the harrowing backstory: 18-year-old Sheridan was shot in the back of the neck at 1:30 AM while fleeing a gunman, and died alone on the pavement after making it only 40 feet. Her mother came to Congress to demand answers — and instead was lectured by the committee's Democratic members about procedural fatigue.

Just as biology uses IRBs and cars have safety laws, AI needs layered oversight from educators, governments, and the public — not just a few industry titans.

Surveillance vs. Privacy: The Fulcrum We Need to Find

The Surveillance Economy, and How Capitalism Can Fix Poverty · Aug 10, 2026 Government

Mass surveillance is here to stay. The real battle isn't stopping cameras — it's ensuring judges and laws keep that data out of family court and civil disputes, admitting it only for violent crimes and national security. The surveillance economy currently yields more upside than downside, but only if we build the legal guardrails now.

Northern Europe Isn't Socialist — It's Capitalism Done Right

The Surveillance Economy, and How Capitalism Can Fix Poverty · Aug 10, 2026 Government

When people cite Scandinavia as proof socialism works, Galloway says they've got it backwards. Northern Europe runs highly competitive free-market economies with more competition in many sectors than the US — they just make sure taxes are actually paid and redistributed. Billionaires and universal healthcare can coexist.

How to Fix the UK in Four Moves

“We’re At The Beginning Of A Revolution” - Jimmy Carr - #11… · Aug 10, 2026 Government

Two percent adjustments to income tax and stamp duty tweaks are deck-chair rearrangements. The UK's competitiveness hinges on four structural levers: currency valuation, energy costs, regulatory burden, and tax rates. Devalue the pound, build 56 nuclear plants, slash red tape, introduce a flat tax — and the country transforms.

Lisbon Solved Its Drug Crisis — Then Forgot Why

“We’re At The Beginning Of A Revolution” - Jimmy Carr - #11… · Aug 10, 2026 Government

Lisbon had one of Europe's worst heroin crises. Then Portugal legalised drugs and redirected all enforcement money into rehabilitation and housing. Crime collapsed. Addiction fell. Then politics moved the money elsewhere, and the problem started creeping back. Chesterton's Fence: you forget why you were spending that money.
