The Jenny Beth Show

China Spy Guilty, SCOTUS Wins Big, Trump in Beijing | Conn Carroll, Curtis Houck

Episode Summary

China spy plot guilty plea, Supreme Court wins big, and President Trump heads to Beijing — Jenny Beth Martin breaks down the week's most consequential conservative news with two of the sharpest voices in the movement. Arcadia, California Mayor Elaine Wang just pleaded guilty to operating as a secret agent for communist China — from inside her own city hall. Hours later, President Trump boarded Air Force One for the Great Hall of the People to negotiate trade, tariffs, AI exports, Iran, and Taiwan directly with Xi Jinping. Washington Examiner commentary editor Conn Carroll joins Jenny Beth to unpack what America must walk away with, why the Virginia Supreme Court torched Democrats' $70 million gerrymandering scheme, and why the U.S. Supreme Court's Alabama ruling reshapes redistricting through 2030 and beyond. Carroll also explains why young women are stampeding to the political left at historic rates — and what his book Sex and the Citizen says about the marriage decline driving it. Then Curtis Houck, managing editor of NewsBusters at the Media Research Center, exposes how CNN and MSNBC have appointed themselves defense attorneys for the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooter who called himself the "friendly federal assassin." Plus: the Media Research Center finding that should alarm every American — Google News is pushing Hamas-linked Al Jazeera content 15 times more than every other major aggregator combined.
