On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Barack Obama orchestrated the Russia collusion hoax and his role was never questioned, nor was he investigated. Obama was the mob boss in the key December 16, 2016, meeting where Obama directed a new intelligence assessment falsely claiming heavy Russian involvement to aid Trump, despite prior assessments showing minimal, ineffective interference without Trump ties. There needs to be direct questioning of Obama under oath, without a special counsel, using Gabbard's documents, and re-questioning figures like John Brennan, James Clapper, Loretta Lynch, and James Comey about Obama's involvement. Also, Hamas is intentionally starving Gazan civilians to maintain power and manipulate international perceptions. The United Nations and European Union are enabling this strategy by channeling aid through Hamas-controlled mechanisms, despite knowing the group diverts resources.  Afterward, there's a fundamental rift in values and morals between those who champion limited government and individual sovereignty, and those who embrace an all-powerful state. It's the battle between positive power—rooted in defending institutions, the Constitution, separation of powers, and personal freedoms—and negative power, where the ends justify any means, leading to rampant abuses. In addition, there are new details coming out after Bryan Kohberger's sentencing. People are never going to understand why there was a deal cut for him.  When you are dealing w evil - the motivation is the act itself. Later, Mark Levin remembers the life of Ed Feulner and Hulk Hogan.

Today's podcast begins with Breitbart's Mike Slater deciding to go wayyyyyyy back to the beginnings of the 2016 "Russian Collusion" hoax and bringing everybody up to speed on how we got to where we are today with President Donald J. Trump in a position where he might seriously need to consider arresting former President Barack Obama.Following the opener, Slater is honored with the presence of Joe Lavorgna, Senior Counselor to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, as the two gab about the financial health of this country under Trump 2.0 and what plans the federal government has for even more economic successes in the upcoming months!

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard outlined new evidence on July 23 on how the Trump–Russia narrative was created for the 2016 elections. In it, she said false information was spread by the Obama administration, and alleged that this was designed to harm then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Late Friday afternoon, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced that she would be initiating criminal proceedings related to the long-standing investigation into Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. In a brief but pointed statement to the press, Gabbard emphasized that new evidence had emerged, warranting formal charges against individuals suspected of undermining the integrity of the American democratic process.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Stephen Colbert's show was cancelled because they were losing millions of dollars a year, it had nothing to do with President Trump. Colbert and his late-night pals destroyed late night comedy by making it overly political and monotonous, rather than focusing on laughter as people seek escape from politics. Past great comedians like Jay Leno, Johnny Carson, and Steve Allen built this genre professionally and these hosts have exploited and ruined it. Also, America First Legal revealed emails showing Biden DOJ and White House coordination on Merrick Garland's 2021 memo directing FBI to address “threats” from parents protesting school policies on COVID, CRT, and transgender issues. The DOJ sought a federal hook despite internal warnings of First Amendment protections and no federal jurisdiction. Emails undermine Garland's independence claims. They coordinated, lied about it and nobody will be held to account. In addition, declassified documents from DNI Tulsi Gabbard reveal the Obama administration politicized intelligence to fabricate a Russian interference narrative in the 2016 election, despite IC reports showing no cyber impact on outcomes, only minor psychological efforts. This laid groundwork for the Trump-Russia probe, involving officials like Clapper, Brennan, Rice, Kerry, Lynch, and McCabe, culminating in a Dec 9 White House meeting and new IC assessment per Obama. We always knew this was corrupt. Later, Alexander Hamilton's views on liberty and government differed with those of Jefferson and Madison. Hamilton's modern appeal among centralized power advocates, as seen in the Broadway musical's popularity with elites and academics. Hamilton proposed lifetime terms for the executive and one legislative branch at the Convention, an idea rejected. Raoul Berger's book critiques implied powers as abusive, emphasizing the Constitution's intent to restrict federal authority and protect state residuary powers. Hamilton in Federalist No. 33 reassured states on the "necessary and proper" clause as means to execute delegated powers only, per Madison and ratification understandings. Afterward, NYC Mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa calls in with an update on his campaign against Zohran Mamdani, Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo. Learn more about your ad choices.

When you have a situation where the government lies about what its doing and then classifies everything involving the truth, it is very difficult to know what is going on. When you add the fact that the press doesn't really do its job by asking hard-hitting questions, you're left with a situation where it's difficult to know what's going on. On this show, I don't always have hard evidence for what I'm putting forth but I justify this because timely information is critical for effective decision making. It was obvious to me way back in 2016 that Obama and Clinton created the Russian Hoax. I tried to convince people that it was bullshit, but it's very difficult to do. It's one of the reasons I created the show. Timely information is everything. This was absolutely the case during COVID. What good is to know now that the COVID mRNA shot is dangerous to your life? Most of you have already taken it. This is why I continue to do my show. Not for fame, not for money but for the few people who know as I do that your very survival could depend on it! We are probably entering the most dangerous phase of our country's history.

There have already been two contempt rulings; a third one is likely and may result in jail time. We've heard testimony from Gary Farro, the banker who helped Michael Cohen open the accounts the $130k moved through; lawyer who negotiated the payments to Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels, Keith Davidson; audio and video specialist Douglas Daus; paralegal in the Manhattan District Attorney's office who has been monitoring Trump's social media, Georgia Longstreet; former Trump aide, Hope Hicks; and Trump Org accountant Jeff McConney.So What Else“We're on a mission to ensure no child in our Maryland and Washington DC community experiences hunger and has access to meaningful opportunities to learn and grow outside of the school day.”https://www.sowhatelse.org/Allison Gillhttps://post.news/@/MuellerSheWrotehttps://twitter.com/MuellerSheWrotePete Strzokhttps://twitter.com/petestrzokThe Podcasthttps://twitter.com/aisle45podWant to support this podcast and get it ad-free and early?Go to: https://www.patreon.com/aisle45podTell us about yourself and what you like about the show - http://survey.podtrac.com/start-survey.aspx?pubid=BffJOlI7qQcF&ver=short Allison Gillhttps://post.news/@/MuellerSheWrotehttps://twitter.com/MuellerSheWrotePete Strzokhttps://twitter.com/petestrzokThe Podcasthttps://twitter.com/aisle45podWant to support this podcast and get it ad-free and early?Go to: https://www.patreon.com/aisle45podTell us about yourself and what you like about the show - http://survey.podtrac.com/start-survey.aspx?pubid=BffJOlI7qQcF&ver=short

If you've been following the news at all, you're aware that former president Donald Trump is on trial in a New York criminal court and is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. And there's a lot to unpack. Our guest this week has been in the courthouse for this criminal trial and has been closely following the ins and outs of the case. Lisa Rubin is the MSNBC legal correspondent and a former litigator. She joins WITHpod to discuss the backstory of the trial, flaws in the legal system, how she says Trump has abused it, key figures and more.

On Monday, the first of Donald Trump's trials started.

There are two good news stories to report. First, a New York appeals court judge rejected Donald Trump's attempt to stop his trial from beginning on April 15th. But; in a lesser-covered development; Judge Juan Merchan shared how some of the jury selection procedures will work. People often refer to Trump's New York prosecution as the "hush money" case. However Glenn and others refer to it as an "election interference" case: Trump criminally falsified business records to cover-up hush money payments to gain unfair advantage in the 2016 presidential election.Judge Merchan has revealed how he will instruct the jury on the "nature of the case" at the start of the trial: "The allegations are in substance, that Donald Trump falsified business records to conceal an agreement with others to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election." So indeed, the jury will be instructed that this is a case involving allegations that Trump interfered in the 2016 presidential election.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Donald Trump and his lawyers have again reached into their dirty little bags of tricks in a desperate effort to stop his first criminal trial from beginning on April 15th. Trump is suing the presiding judge, Juan Merchan, as The New York Times reports: "Trump to sue judge in last-ditch attempt to avert Manhattan trial." Glenn says this desperate Hail Mary will fail, just as it failed when Trump sued Judge Engoron to try to prevent his NY fraud trial from getting under way.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

 A new report by independent journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger alleges that the CIA utilized its contacts with overseas spy agencies to illegally facilitate spy operations on 26 Donald Trump campaign staffers. If true, this report would be historic. We already know, thanks to the Mueller report, that the FBI improperly obtained a FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page - did the CIA do the same thing to 26 other individuals? I have the details. Plus, the New York Times is reporting on intelligence that suggests Russia may be close to putting nuclear weapons in space… and, there's a big court appearance happening in Georgia. Fani Willis will find out her fate as a judge decides whether she can continue pursuing her charges against Trump.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: According to a new report from Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag, “the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target [then-Republican presidential candidate Donald] Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016.” You can read more here: https://public.substack.com/p/cia-had-foreign-allies-spy-on-trump On Tuesday, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, David Sacks, and Senators Mike Lee (R-UT), J.D. Vance (R-OH), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) participated in a Twitter Spaces conversation on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and the Senate-passed foreign aid bill that would provide Ukraine with an additional $60.1 billion in financial assistance. During the conversation, Musk argued: "This spending does not help Ukraine. Prolonging the war and sacrificing the…youth, having these boys die for nothing is wrong and needs to stop." Senator Johnson echoed a similar sentiment noting, “we all have to understand that Vladimir Putin will not lose this war” as losing would result in him being removed as Russian President. While appearing on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, sports commentator Bob Costas addressed the growing trend of biological males competing against female athletes—explaining, “we can't throw common sense out the window.”
