Podcasts about abolishing

Dr. Anthony Fauci just sat in front of a Senate committee and invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times rather than answer a single question under oath about his COVID decisions. This hearing came right after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) released hundreds of pages from Fauci's personal diaries. Those entries show the gap between what he told the public and what he was writing privately about masks, lockdowns, the lab-leak theory, and his own rising celebrity. Instead of explaining any of it, Fauci chose silence. Rand Paul warned there would be repercussions. Josh Hawley called him out for contempt of the American people. His attorney even got removed from the room. Regular Americans lived through the school closures, the job losses, the family separations, and the ever-changing rules that Fauci helped shape. Now the man at the center of it all won't even say what day of the week it is without pleading the Fifth. That should tell you everything about how accountable our institutions really are. Pat also covered: Saudi Arabia joins the United States in the fight against Iran. Is America's relationship with Israel finally back to normal? Is Iran winning the propaganda war against the U.S.? John Thune keeps defying the president and the American people. Does Chuck Schumer support abolishing the Senate? Do you think pleading the Fifth 111 times is the move of an innocent man? What do you make of a public health official who spent years telling us what to do, then refuses to answer questions once the diaries come out?

    Thaddeus McCotter notes Dr. Abdul El-Sayed denies being a socialist, claiming he merely wants to regulate "capitalism run amok." However, his platform includes radical proposals such as abolishing ICE. Haley Stevens frames him as a "celebrity candidate" and questions his appeal to women voters. McCotter notes that while the DSA lacks a ground model, identity politics may drive a high turnout among Michigan's large Muslim population. (16)1701

Chuck Todd delivers a masterclass on the single most underappreciated force in presidential politics: the primary calendar, which he argues reveals exactly what kind of nominee a party actually wants long before a single vote is cast. He explains that the Democratic decision to put South Carolina first is by design a test of Black support and viability in the South — and one that's deliberately engineered to hurt progressives, who have consistently gotten thumped in South Carolina primaries. He believes that Democrats have badly underinvested in South Carolina and Mississippi, meaning a little TLC could plausibly turn South Carolina into a genuine swing state. The calendar's practical effect, he argues, is that it sets up well for Wes Moore (if he runs) and is nearly as favorable for Pete Buttigieg, while raising the stakes for Kamala Harris to the point that if she doesn't win South Carolina, she's essentially finished. He is sharp on the flaws of the rest of the early window — Nevada isn't the test Democrats claim because the culinary union shapes everything and Arizona would better measure the Latino vote, Michigan is theoretically ideal but is getting torn apart over Israel in ways that could hurt Democrats in a general, and Virginia (now the last stop before Super Tuesday) reliably serves as a bulwark for moderates because it's a center-left rather than hard-left blue state — and he lays out what the ideal calendar would look like for progressives and for MAGA respectively. He's blunt that Ken Martin's leadership of the DNC has been a major problem, questioning whether Democrats really want him refereeing the nomination fight when the party's money troubles are a reflection on Martin himself. He then turns to Trump backing down on Iran yet again — halting strikes less than 12 hours after issuing fresh threats — calling the entire Iran adventure easily the dumbest thing a president has done this century, especially now that an administration once committed to non-proliferation appears to be helping the Saudis with nuclear technology. He notes Democrats nominated Troy Jackson to replace Graham Platner, making the Maine Senate seat winnable again even as Trump has made the races in both Maine and Michigan harder, and closes with a run of telling contrasts: the White House openly bragging that it added tariffs to help big tech, data centers emerging as the top issue for voters in many states, Trump calling LeBron James a racist from the Oval Office while Obama quietly reached out to offer Caitlin Clark advice and comfort — a perfect encapsulation, He argues, of one leader who wants to divide and another trying to turn the temperature down. Then, sports business reporter John Ourand — who shares an origin story with Chuck Todd at Sports Business Daily — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a deep dive into the money reshaping professional and college sports. Ourand walks through the sale of the Seattle Seahawks as a signal that the era of family-owned NFL franchises is ending, explaining how team valuations have roughly doubled in just three years thanks to new tax advantages and the simple fact that NFL ownership has become the ultimate status club for the ultra-wealthy. He and Chuck dig into whether these eye-popping valuations constitute a bubble — the NFL alone signed $110 billion in media deals over two years — and whether the sports media "middle class" could be facing a real reckoning even as streamers thrive with smaller game packages. Ourand offers a fascinating look at how leagues are navigating their relationship with the networks and production companies that broadcast them (the NFL is deliberately careful not to hurt the legacy networks it depends on), and defends the enduring value of investigative sports journalism, pointing to Pablo Torre's Clippers reporting as a reminder that nobody, including executives at ESPN, wants to be remembered as the person who killed real journalism at the network. The conversation turns to how sports and politics are increasingly colliding. Ourand contrasts Michael Jordan's studied political neutrality with the modern reality of athletes and leagues getting pulled into culture war fights whether they want to or not, noting the UFC fight at the White House pulled huge ratings and that Trump's involvement in overturning a disputed red card call may have actually boosted viewership. He praises Caitlin Clark for navigating the culture wars more gracefully than almost anyone in sports today, draws a compelling parallel between Clark and Larry Bird, and argues the WNBA under commissioner Kathy Engelbert isn't doing nearly enough to capitalize on the attention Clark has generated — in part because leagues remain skittish about race and sexuality debates they'd rather avoid entirely. Ourand closes with a detailed look at the messy economics of college sports, explaining how the biggest programs are effectively subsidizing smaller ones, why a real collective bargaining structure may eventually be inevitable, and why the sport's true power brokers could soon demand a much larger share of the revenue pie for themselves. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the ratification of the 14th amendment at a time when the idea of birthright citizenship is being called into question, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Audio of the June 13 Berlin launch of Julio Linares' book Decolonizing Money: The Promise of Abolishing the US Dollar, hosted by Miho Soong and Jabi. The book is now out as part of the VAGABONDS series from Pluto Press. https://www.plutobooks.com/product/decolonizing-money/ DECOLONIZING MONEY: THE PROMISE OF ABOLISHING THE US DOLLAR By Julio Linares To change the world, we need a money revolution. Yet the debate over money has been dominated by two perspectives: those free-market capitalists who want money to rule everything, and those who want the state to harness money's power. Decolonizing Money presents an anarchist theory of money which sets out strategies for collective liberation beyond state and capital. Drawing on anarchist, abolitionist and anti-colonial feminist traditions, Julio Linares makes the heretical argument for a grassroots democratic movement to abolish the imperialist US dollar as a necessary step towards the cancellation of debt and establishing a worldwide basic income. Linares shows that money, beyond a store of value and a medium of exchange, is a series of promises a society makes to itself – and he challenges us to make them otherwise. This innovative book takes up lessons from global history and social movements in order to unleash the political imagination. It shows us how the creation, use and most importantly the destruction of money are forms of power that need to be reclaimed through direct action, as part of a radical democratic project for autonomy and self-determination. Julio César Linares is a community organizer and economic anthropologist born in the territories known today as Guatemala. He holds an MSc from the London School of Economics where he studied and worked on projects with the late David Graeber. He serves as Public Outreach for the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN). He lives in Berlin, Germany.

With Julio Linares.  To change the world, we need a money revolution. Yet the debate over money has been dominated by two perspectives: those free-market capitalists who want money to rule everything, and those who want to use the state to harness money's power.  In his new book, Decolonizing Money: The Promise of Abolishing the US Dollar, Julio Linares presents a bold, democratic theory of money which sets out strategies for collective liberation beyond state and capital.  Drawing on economic anthropology, as well as anarchist, abolitionist and anti-colonial traditions, he argues for the cancellation of debt and establishing a worldwide basic income as necessary first steps on the road to reparatory justice.  Julio joins us on the podcast for a conversation about how money is created and destroyed, what we can learn from pre-colonial social currencies like Cacao, and why there is nothing democratic about crypto.  We discuss Modern Monetary Theory, the petro-dollar system, and why David Graeber once referred to Donald Trump as an "anti-imperialist".

If you thought the political landscape couldn't get any weirder, the modern Democratic Party just said, “Hold my beer.” This week on True Thirty, Joey Dumont and Sean X put on their “Team Red” hazard suits and laugh at why the Left is ditching the polished Ivy League elites and replacing them with candidates who feel like they were recruited outside a dive bar at 2:00 AM.Here's what we are pouring into the blender today:* The Sex, Tattoos, and Seafood Special: Meet Graham Plattner, the Maine Democrat running for Senate. On paper, he's a combat veteran who farms oysters. In reality, he's a walking tabloid headline featuring an extramarital sexting scandal, a dark Reddit past, and an accidental Nazi chest tattoo that he claims he “didn't know” was a Nazi symbol. But instead of canceling him, the Left is rebranding him as a relatable “dirtbag Democrat” because apparently, standard background checks are a thing of the past.* The “Just Trust Us” Vetting Protocol: We pull back the curtain on the progressive activists who launched Plattner's career. When the Wall Street Journal asked them if they actually researched his background before throwing him into the race, they literally just laughed in the reporter's face. The new strategy for winning over working-class men? Find a guy who wears Carhartt, shares an oyster farm with his mom's restaurant, and hope nobody clicks past page one of his Google results.* Welcome to the MACA Wing (Make America Crazy Again): Then we track the shockwave hitting New York City politics, where a PhD student named Darializa Avila Chevalier (DAC) just annihilated the Democratic establishment. Her platform? Abolishing borders, defunding the police, seizing landlord property, and casually screaming “f*** Kamala Harris” on her social media timeline. Fox News talking heads are practically tripping over themselves to milk the content, and we are here for every single second of it.We don't make the news, we just laugh at it. Lock in, hit play, and let's get into it. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.truethirty.com/subscribe

Jonathan DeBurca Butler joins Seán Moncrieff to take listeners through the week's international stories…

In this episode of Health on the Line, host Adam Brimelow looks ahead to NHS ConfedExpo 2026, featuring interviews with Sir Jim Mackey, Chief Executive of NHS England, and Sir Ciarán Devane, Chief Executive of The NHS Alliance. As the Ten Year Health Plan approaches its first anniversary, Adam explores with both leaders how much progress has been made over the past year and crucially, how much meaningful transformation is possible at a time of constrained funding and sustained operational pressure. Elsewhere in the episode, Adam is joined by Stuart Hoddinott from the Institute for Government and Anu Singh, Chair of the Integrated Care Boards spanning Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, to reflect on the government's plans to restructure the NHS and abolish NHS England. The episode also examines the implications of Alan Milburn's interim report on young people and work. Adam is joined by Rebecca Gray, Director of The NHS Alliance's Mental Health Network, and Dean Royles, Chief Executive of NHS Employers, to explore what the findings mean for the future of the NHS workforce. Health on the Line is an NHS Alliance podcast, produced by HealthCommsPlus. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Pulotu Tupe Solomon-Tanoa'I served four years on the Broadcasting Standards Authority. With the BSA now set to be abolished by the Coalition Government following the Sean Plunket / The Platform jurisdictional decision, she sits down with FSU Council member Dane Giraud for an open exchange on what the BSA actually does, where free speech and protection from harm collide, and whether scrapping the body off the back of a single controversial ruling was good process.It's a genuinely civil disagreement — and one of the more substantive conversations on broadcasting regulation you'll find in New Zealand right now.They cover:- How BSA complaints actually work — and why only ~8% are upheld- The elasticity of "harm" and who gets to define it- The Heather du Plessis-Allan ruling and whether counter-speech would have done more- The Plunket / Platform jurisdictional decision and the cost-of-appeal problem- Why years of reform consultation were shelved before the BSA was scrapped- Online pile-ons, platform accountability, and the Mikey Sherman case- David Harvey's voluntary-standards model — and its gaps- Vexatious complaints, and the BSA's 2020 decision not to hear complaints about te reo MāoriSupport the showhttps://www.fsu.nz/https://x.com/NZFreeSpeechhttps://www.instagram.com/freespeechnz/https://www.tiktok.com/@freespeechunionnz

We sat down with Blake Vera and Ayesha Hassan to discuss the movement to abolish ICE cooperation in Tarrant County and what it could mean for local communities.

Guest Dr. Jon Mills, author "Woke: A Critique of Social Justice Ideology", joins to discuss the mental state of political movements. Discussion of being a follower, the creation of the woke agenda, and more.  "No Kings" protests held across the country...is there some irony behind the movement? Discussion of the destructive propaganda from Iran, and the similar talking points from progressives.  Trump funds TSA while Congress works on two separate DHS funding bills. 

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/031126.cfmFather Chris Alar, MIC, addresses a common misconception: that the Old Testament portrays God as harsh while, in contradiction, the New Testament reveals a loving Jesus. He explains that the Old Testament functions like parental guidance for children — setting boundaries to protect us — while the New Testament calls adults to a higher standard of love and self‑discipline. Jesus stated He came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it, completing the dietary and ritual requirements through His self-sacrifice on the Cross.Father Chris clarifies that Christians are no longer bound by Old Testament rules on diet, circumcision, or animal sacrifices, yet the fundamental moral law remains unchanged. The Council of Jerusalem confirmed that Gentile converts must uphold even counter-cultural moral teachings while being freed from ceremonial obligations. This distinction guards against both legalism and license: freedom from ritual law does not mean freedom from moral responsibility.Father Chris emphasizes that Jesus elevated moral standards to a supernatural level, a level that demands grace building on natural virtue, teaching that anger equates to murder and lust to adultery. Society often misuses Scripture to justify moral relativism, yet Christ's words to the adulteress — “Go and sin no more” — reveal that mercy demands transformation. Divine Mercy is not permission to continue in sin. The Ten Commandments summarize this dual call: reverence for God and respect for man, or in other words, love of God and neighbor. ★ Support this podcast ★

Every issue on the modern left runs through the same ideological filter: capitalism.In this clip, I break down how left-wing activists reduce every political, cultural, and social issue to an anti-capitalist framework. Race, gender, climate change, abortion, queer theory, policing, ICE, the military, Israel and Palestine, unions, religion, fat liberation, sex work, and even debates over children are all treated as expressions of capitalist oppression.This is how the left turns unrelated causes into a single moral narrative. Private property becomes the enemy. Institutions become enforcement mechanisms. Culture becomes a battleground for dismantling the economic system itself.Once you understand this framework, the modern left stops looking chaotic and starts looking very organized.Decode The Left with Karlyn Borysenko is a reader-supported publication.

In the spirit of broadening the analysis beyond ICE, Border Chronicle cofounders Melissa del Bosque and Todd Miller discuss the leading role the U.S. Border Patrol has played in violent operations across the country.We analyze how these shocking immigration sweeps—such as the one in Minneapolis that killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti—extend the U.S. border into the interior. To understand these operations, it is essential to examine the extraconstitutional powers that the Border Patrol has long exercised in the borderlands, where the agency has enjoyed impunity for its abuses. The people of the borderlands and border crossers have faced this ironfisted authoritarianism for decades.Today, the United States appears to be entering a new phase of expanded border policing—similar to the Operation Gatekeeper deterrence of the 1990s or the sweeping powers and massive budgets that followed 9/11. Now the border can be anywhere, and the guns pointed at anyone—all with the enthusiastic support of the defense contractors who stand to profit.But the good news is, people have had enough.

In this explosive breakdown, we expose the hypocrisy, media spin, and outright misinformation surrounding ICE, border enforcement, and the Minneapolis riots. From racist protesters to CNN’s misleading narratives, this video dismantles the left’s talking points and shows why “abolish ICE” really means abolish the rule of law.

Ryan outlines where revenue would realistically come from, the role tariffs might play, and why high-income earners are unlikely to escape the taxman entirely.Finally, they dive into the early warning signs in real estate: a 20% surge in foreclosures, rising household debt, declining home values in more than half the country, and why builders and contractors are suddenly slowing down after three years of nonstop demand.From macro data to mindset, policy to portfolio strategy, this episode gives you a blunt, unfiltered look at what's really happening—and how to position yourself for what comes next.Topics Covered:Record-breaking Black Friday and weekend salesSurging Buy Now Pay Later usage among younger and higher-income consumersMarket outlook and the potential Santa Claus rallyQuantitative tightening ending and what QE/QT shifts mean for investorsRising credit card usage and cracks in the consumer debt cycleTrump's push to abolish income tax and the realistic feasibilityTariffs, flat sales tax, and alternate revenue modelsInstitutional crypto adoption and Vanguard's ETF reversalForeclosures up 20% and household debt hitting new recordsHome price declines vs. rising median sale priceContractors and builders slowing as demand shows early signs of coolingHousing affordability outlook heading into 2026AI valuations, Anthropic's IPO plans, and future Fed chair speculationEpisode Sponsored By:Discover Financial Millionaire Mindcast Shop: Buy the Rich Life Planner and Get the Wealth-Building Bundle for FREE!

"Great meeting today with Javier Milei!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "He is doing the right things for his Country. I hope the people of Argentina understand how good a job he is doing, and will support his work during the upcoming Midterms, so we can continue to help him achieve Argentina's incredible potential. "Javier Milei has my Complete and Total Endorsement — He will not let you down. MAKE ARGENTINA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump said at the White House on Tuesday he would endorse Milei for reelection and previously had already indicated during the U.N.

The comments came during a meeting with Milei, whose country is set to hold midterm elections for its legislative body later this month.
