Hi everybody, you welcome back to today's news for September 10th and 11th, 2026. As always, I'm your host, Larry Swyckert, bringing you the headlines. You can get the full stories, all the links, everything below here at the wildworldapolitics.com. So remember, I have to do this. I know I don't like doing it. I really hate asking you this. But all my peeps, all my team who cover the SEO and all the other stuff, say I have to do it. So please like, please share, please buy Larry a coffee. And I'll have movie updates for you. Probably next week. I've seen the first renditions of the animated versions of the Mayflower and William Bradford and his wife below decks looking very good. So I'll probably be able to post

something like that next two weeks. Okay, headlines, 25th anniversary of 9-11. Trump headlines, Dallas Convention, promising Americans checks, is political broke. The news of today is the history of tomorrow. Now, not long after 9-11, I felt the need to tell the grim story that as of that time, was still being sanitized, you know, for good reason. But I made this story, which was all taken from real news reports, into a novel September day, at least the first half of it, which began with the attacks, but then turned into a search for terror cells. And most important, those who financed them, it wasn't bad for a first effort. That is, it didn't sell very well, but it wasn't a bad book for the first effort. Anyway, you can see it here September day. All right. In political news, today is 25th anniversary of 9-11.

And the New York Slimes just doesn't give why it's still a thing. Obviously, the amazing moron Zoron and occasional cortex, who were at the ceremony when thousands begged them not to attend, are just having a good old time yucking it up because to them nothing bad happened. You know, some people did something. Anyway, meanwhile, if the GOP convention in Dallas Trump promised a quote, Trump dividend, if the Republicans win the midterms of a $5,000 cash dividend to every adult citizen. Now, first, I don't really want the government giving me money. Just take less of what I make. But second, don't we have a debt? I guess if it happens, feel free to send the money right back to the government to pay down the debt, right? Because y'all will do that, right?

Because your principal conservatives? Oh, and Pennsylvania Democrat Senator and the last saying Democrat standing, John Fetterman Massacre spoke to the Republican Convention. Sans Hoodie, too soon to gauge how effective this convention will be. I have to insert this note here, folks. We're on September 11. Okay. Gas prices haven't come down. There's still 419 to 450 in my area of Phoenix. I understand down to some there a little under four. It's about a 50 cent difference, whatever. Food prices are still ridiculously high. Mrs. LS and I ate at Cracker Barrel the other day. Yes, we each had a drink. Yes, we had a dessert, one that we split between us. And yes, she ordered an additional box of biscuits to go. But with tip, it was $71 for two people.

So I'm here to tell you that if that doesn't change at all, and I predicted it would happen by now, but it hasn't happened. If that doesn't happen at all by about October 15, there's a very good chance the Republicans will in fact lose the midterms. I currently have them at 220, but it's not going to take much to lose three seats if the economy continues to be bad. Now, we know that the fundamentals are incredibly good, that the job situation, fewer people on unemployment than in years added 162,000 new jobs. Inflation appears to be cooling just a little tiny bit, but it's got to do better. I'm just telling you, I have us at 220 right now, but it won't take much to slip three more seats out of the Republican grip if the economy doesn't improve. I don't think hugely, but a little bit

by November. All right, this is pretty big news actually. Politico, one of the approved Democrat outlets for the Democrat Terrapati didn't pay a single employee on Wednesday. It's the first time it has ever missed a payroll. Oh, wait, look, Politico was getting US aid money, which has now been cut off. Couldn't be a reason. Could it? I was skeptical originally when Attorney General Todd Blanche, I think he was then assistant attorney general, I'm not sure. Name Joe DeGeneva as the lead on all a political corruption investigations. Now, just as according to summary reports, these investigations are quote, accelerating. DeGeneva and his wife Victoria Tensing have resigned. Now, I have to tell you over the years I have maybe wrongly, but I call them as I see them.

I put DeGeneva in the same box as Sydney Powell Patrick Burns, Mike Lindell, and a couple of others. These are the people who are absolutely sure that voting machines were to blame for 2020 fraud were sued by dominion and others. Many of them had to recant or whatnot. Anyway, whenever these people have to put up, all of a sudden they disappear. They resign from what they're doing. They go out of the public limelight. I'm also growing quite weary of people taking a high profile job like this for just a year. It accomplishes very little. Now, I understand family. I've told you guys before I would never take a DC job unless it was an advisor to President Trump because Mrs. LS won't live in DC or anything around DC. I don't blame her. I don't want to live there either. But I don't care if you're Dan Bungino or Joe DeGeneva

or whoever. Before you take the job, you should commit to at least two to three years. I know family, but it takes more than a year to get acclimated and to figure out where all the skeletons are buried. Anyway, this should do it for the Missouri Crisis Part 2. As the soups ruled that the Missouri 62 map had to be the one used and deprived Republicans of a seat pushing my estimate down to 220. I've already knocked off Max Miller in Ohio, although privately I'll get a tell you, I think he may come back. And Missouri has no guarantee for Democrats despite this alignment. The process, this prosecutor said masturbation in front of kiddos was, quote, wrong, but not illegal. You mean as in public endangerment, indecent exposure, being an overall scabby spreader, that kind of illegal? Courts to the rescue of the Chubble Jumpers again as in Indiana court,

rescued the defeated state senator who lost by about 300 votes, the guy who wouldn't redistrict Indiana, saying shades of the University of Michigan win over Western Michigan, quote, there was still a second on the clock and he won. More election fraud as a California man was paying skid row bums to go vote. Shocked, I tell you. Shocked. But you know, it's only one guy. Another juror in the Lindsey Clancy trial was, quote, shocked when the male hold up, who now turns out we find out was black throwing a whole new color onto the situation. Anyway, he took out an exercise band out of his bag and wrapped it around a bottle of water and used it to show what Clancy did to her kids, saying it was vicious. And the other jurors said, well, we should have to be

told it was vicious. You know, reality is tough here, isn't it, woke Karen? We much oh, Marco has filed fired a state department employee who was canutling with the daughter of a Chikom official. In AI news, 10 states have paused or canceled data center tax breaks. This is totally ultra niche as anthropic just blocked a possible attempt by its AI to build biological weapons. Now, I watch a long podcast. It's not linked here. I may get to it on AI and the safety concerns last night. This is buying in sorry, cider. And this report said that all of the major AI entities, anthropic, alphabet, Google, X, whatever it is, all of them have run tests in which their AI has

broken all the rules escaped from its little pen or whatever it was, lied to researchers and tried to cover their tracks in one scenario in which they were to value their own existence or life versus starting a nuclear war, 95% of the time the AI chose the nuclear war to save itself. So concerning stuff. In illegal criminal, alien news, the DOJ has sued three states and DC for illegally admitting, well, illegals into the universities with in-state tuition levels. The first ever case in an alien terrorist removal court, surprise, removed a terrorist alien in cultural news. You know to say that Jeff Childers has a great column is like saying, it's kind of warm in Phoenix and August. I mean, he always has great columns. Today's is especially

good, focusing on the healing that's actually gone on under President Trump to wit. And I quote, Jeff, we no longer must take our shoes off and walk 25 feet on a dirty concrete floor to board an airplane. Cars are starting to drive themselves. Rap is vanishing from the top 40. We're building new monuments in DC. The border is shut. The truth about the Patriot Act abuses is trickling out. Unquote. Now I would add to this, we may now be able to have our friends and loved ones go with us to the airport gate to see us off again. Never should have stopped that stuff. Just outrageous. In Transoid News, Al, um, so in love with you, green demands mind you demands hormones for Transoid ice detainees. Yeah, demand all you want there. Al, in economic news, good column from Jennifer Say here. Everybody's talking about Nike's collapse, but nobody's saying a word about

Lulu Limon, who shares, and this is a company that makes a workout tights. I mean, Mrs. LS loves these, but won't buy them because they're too expensive. They're ridiculous. Anyway, Lulu Limon shares peaked at around $500 in 2023. Today, try 100 annual growth, which was at 42% five years ago. Six years ago is now minus 7%. Lulu Limon's got problems. An employment dips again. Core PPI fell again slightly. We're very slowly containing, but not rolling back inflation. Again, see my comments above. I think we got to do, I think gas has to be at least under $4 a gallon. And I think we have to start seeing some home prices fall for Republicans to win the house back. It's a, we're down now to a three three seat margin. In international news, Google commits to $15 billion data center investment in Finland.

Probably the tip of the iceberg. Seven were arrested in Taiwan for a human organ smuggling ring in mainland China. As David Blackman, the rest of the energy notes, China has become the first electro superstate. And thus every dollar Americans are doling out for electric vehicles pretty much ends up in China. Also, disruptions caused by Iran have led to a resurrection of coal everywhere. By the way, if your whole economy is electricity, not gas, not oil, not coal, then you're going to have a problem if there ever is an EMP, even a big solar flare. Your whole grid could go out just, just saying, I don't wish that on the Chikams. I'm just saying, you know, I really do not like reporting into this stuff. You guys know me. You know, I very seldom talk about this. Any more than I post about Taylor Swift and that little Kelsey boy, but there is a battle going

on between King Chuck and Mejzet and the Ginger Duke over whether or not they are ordinary persons or royalty. And the king says they definitely are ordinary persons and not royalty. And I say, let the games begin. There's an ongoing still largely failing move internationally to collect climate reparations. Boy on Russia writes quote, the trend however is obvious carbon emissions are gradually being transformed from a byproduct of economic activity into a historical liability for which somebody must pay. Now, I think eventually not common sense, but survival is going to cause these things to be kicked out because climate change is a hoax, you right? And by the way, I know I'm editorializing a little today, but I want to remind you guys of something. In the 90s, early 2000s, the great rush limbaugh said that the biggest threat to the United States of

America and human freedom was the climate change agenda. Well, what has changed? What change? Was it Trump killed it? He killed the climate change agenda in Trump one, but see none of you remember that because it's all about what has he done for me today? Why aren't gas prices lower? I get it. But remember, in less than six months, Trump took us out of the Paris Accords, out of the trade agreements that had us following all his climate garbage. And he's rendered it a non-issue. It's the same way by 2028, immigration is going to be a non-issue because Trump will have fixed it, including H1Bs. All right, in entertainment news, a sinkhole swallowed Nicholas Cage's $10 million dollar Malibu mansion. You know, I love Nick. Where did he get $10 million? I thought he had an island and a skull that he couldn't pay for him. Anyway, two teams thought to be in the next Super Bowl

to the next Super Bowl participants. The Seattle sea hags and the LA lambs all they had really rough openers. The lambs were crushed by San Francisco, lost by 20 points. While the sea hags won a boring 13 to 10 game, but saw their quarterback Sam Darnold knocked out for at least one more game with an injury. In the sea hags, Patriots game, the boy wonder quarterback Drake May, otherwise done by our friend who does the comedic names Derake Mayayee. He had a terrible outing with three interceptions. So it's kind of interesting that all the teams that people were coordinating before the season even began are having trouble already. Some 29 health, oh, this is in medical news. Sorry, some 29 health systems are dumping Medicare advantage due to among other things high authorization denials. The FDA approved a

drug that is doubling the life spans of pancreatic cancer victims. Good. And finally, an appropriate story here for 9-11 anniversary and us all remembering the courageous firefighters who went inside the tower to almost certain death. This EMT ran 1.5 miles up a thousand feet of elevation to get a blood transfusion to a stranded climber. Now that's dedication. By the way, on 9-11, if you guys want a great video, it's called 9-11 in remembrance. 9-11 in remembrance and it stars Rudy Giuliani mostly, but has interviews with all of his staff and and Bernie Kerrick, police chief and eyewitnesses. All sorts of stuff. It's very, very well done. It doesn't focus it all on the Pentagon. It's just New York City. But and it's touching. I urge you to watch that and and see if you can keep from crying. There is also

another superb video. I forget who produced it, but it's called Clear the Skies. And it's the effort of the FAA to get out of the air over 5,000 airplanes. And they didn't know if any of these others had been hijacked or not on 9-11. And it also interviews the pilot and co-pilot crews who went up in fighter jets to patrol the air and to shoot down any airplane that was in their vicinity that didn't immediately respond and turn around. And they were told one of them went up, one pair of pilots went up and they had no missiles or guns. Guns weren't loaded and the missiles weren't loaded. And they were told basically by Dick Cheney down in the bunker. Look, if a plane comes close to one of these areas, New York or DC and they're not they're not responding, you got to ram them. So we had to give those guys orders to kill themselves basically and kill

hundreds of other people to keep another plane from hitting another target. So I encourage you to look at those two videos. 9-11 in memoriam, that's an HBO film and clear the skies. I think that might be a PBS film, but I'm not sure. They're both very, very good. All right guys, that's it for Friday. Remember like share. We're getting renderings of animation for Patriots history, the Pilgrims. I need your help. Bailaria coffee. Just buy me a couple of coffees here this coming week and we'll get this stuff underway and I'll see you back here on Monday.
