The Elliot Omanson Show

The Trump administration has unveiled a bold new policy: offering $1,000 to illegal immigrants who voluntarily self-deport through the CBP Home app. Officials estimate this could cut deportation costs by as much as 70%.
 
In international news, Mark Carney has officially taken office as Prime Minister of Canada after his recent election victory. His first major move? A visit to Washington, D.C. On Tuesday, Carney and President Trump held a joint press conference at the White House. While Trump doubled down on tariffs and even floated the idea of Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, Carney quickly shut that down, stating, “Canada will never be for sale.”
 
Finally, we look at China’s economic struggles under the weight of U.S. tariffs. With a 145% tariff still in place, President Trump has hinted at possible trade negotiations with China this weekend — and even suggested that some tariffs might be reduced.

This week’s episode covers a little of everything. We start with Shedeur Sanders’ surprising draft slide and about who's at fault for the prank call. Then we dig into the controversy surrounding two judges arrested in separate cases — Hannah Dugan and Joel Cano — and the broader implications.
 
We also break down Trump’s proposal to eliminate federal income taxes for those earning under $200K, the results of Canada’s federal election, and the ongoing failures within Chicago Public Schools.

This episode examines how identity politics is fracturing the modern Left from within.
 
Through examples like Gavin Newsom’s frustrations with Democratic leadership, the growing conflict between activist groups, and the broader lack of unity, it highlights why the Left’s competing agendas are leading to inevitable collapse.
 
Identity politics, division, and short-term thinking are driving instability — and the cracks are only getting wider.

Our goal for the OWLFI Podcast is to share our perspective on the world. The modern era of media is more powerful than ever. For years, legacy media dominated the political landscape, leaning heavily left. Social media has exploded over the past decade, giving everyday people a stronger voice to share their opinions. Yet, many platforms have favored left-leaning content, often sidelining other viewpoints.
 
The tides are turning. Social media is shifting toward a greater focus on free speech, and we feel a duty to put our views out into the vast expanse of the internet. We’re ordinary Americans, and we know many of you feel unheard. Our podcast is for those who resonate with our perspective and want a voice that reflects their values.
 
In today’s video, we dive into our outlook for the stock market for the remainder of 2025. Liberal media has pushed a false narrative about Trump’s economic plans and tariffs, claiming he’s caving. We disagree. Everything unfolding aligns with what most on the right expected. Negotiations are in progress, and we see a robust economy and stock market ahead. With potential rate cuts on the horizon, we believe the stock market is poised to boom.
 
We also tackle the ongoing dispute between Harvard and the Trump administration, exploring why academia, as a whole, leans so far left. Join us as we unpack these issues and offer our take on where things are headed.

Elliot and Nathaniel unpack the latest Trump tariff developments following last week’s “Liberation Day” announcement. This episode was recorded the morning of April 9th—just hours before Trump paused tariffs for 90 days to allow global negotiations.
While most media coverage sticks to one side of the story, we explore what’s real, what’s political spin, and what it all means for the U.S. economy. Whether you’re skeptical, supportive, or somewhere in between, this episode brings clarity to a complex topic.

Today, we’re tackling Disney’s latest release, Snow White. This remake seemed cursed from the start, with lead star Rachel Zegler stirring controversy over her odd critiques of the 1937 classic and her polarizing political takes.

In this episode of OWLFI Podcast, we dive into AOC and Bernie Sanders’ "Fight the Oligarchy Tour" and take a contrarian, right-wing perspective on their proposals for government-funded healthcare and free public college tuition. We break down why these policies might sound good but fail in practice—higher taxes, inefficiency, and more government overreach. We also discuss the recent Signal chat leak from March 15, 2025, exposing confidential details about U.S. airstrikes on Houthi rebels, and why it’s a bad look for the Trump administration. Join us for a fresh take on these hot-button issues!
