The second Trump administration hasn't started, but it's already proving chaotic, disturbing, and downright bewildering. (Not unlike the first!) Trump's picks for key staff and cabinet positions display a discordant, if not altogether surprising, mix of ideologies, experience, and scandalous baggage. (Indeed, one of his picks, Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, withdrew from consideration between the time we recorded our interview and when we recorded the intro.)For this episode, we're focused on Trump's national security team, which is shaping up to be divided against itself: neoconservatives like Marco Rubio (State) alongside quasi-isolationists like Tulsi Gabbard (Director of National Intelligence) alongside bellicose TV personalities like Pete Hegseth (Defense). To make sense of it all, we're joined by Curt Mills, a longtime foreign policy reporter and executive director of The American Conservative.  A semi-enemy, Curt hails from the paleoconservative school of foreign affairs, which prioritizes realism and restraint. (That is to say, he's not thrilled about Rubio...) Based on Trump's appointments thus far, we ask Curt to assess, from his perspective, the relative strength of various factions of the Trump coalition: Will Trump listen to the warmongers in his midst? Will he side with the America Firsters? Or will he ignore everyone and just make some deals? Listen to find out.  Further Reading: Curt Mills, "What a Trump Cabinet Might Look Like," The American Conservative, Oct 18, 2024.— "What Trump Could Do in Foreign Policy Might Surprise the World," NYTimes, May 13, 2024.Patrick Smith & Peter Alexander, "Police report details alleged sexual assault by Trump's defense pick Pete Hegseth," NBC News, Nov 21, 2024. Baker, Haberman, Swan, "Gaetz's withdrawal follows revelations in a sex-trafficking inquiry."

Eliot and Eric welcome Jacob Heilbrunn, editor of The National Interest, non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center, and author of America Last: The Right's Century Long Romance with Foreign Dictators. They discuss the origin story of "America First" during the First World War when critic and satirist H.L. Mencken and German-American propagandist (and paid agent) George Sylvester Viereck led the charge against American intervention in the Great War and how both played roles in the 30s and early 40s America First movement to prevent FDR from aiding the Allies. They discuss the hostility of America Firsters to the liberal tradition in America, its connection to anti-Semitism, William F. Buckley's role and evolution on anti-Semitism, Jeanne Kirkpatrick's views on authoritarianism and totalitarianism and the left's own tradition of admiration for tyrants as well as how these tendencies are reflected in today's MAGA movement.

Many know Hubert Humphrey as a man whose public life ended in disgrace—as the man who lost his bearings during the Vietnam War and then lost the presidency to Richard Nixon. But decades before the Vietnam War or his presidential run, Humphrey was known as a trailblazing statesman who electrified the nation through an impassioned speech in support of civil rights at the July 1948 Democratic National Convention. Urging the delegates to “get out of the shadow of state's rights and walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights,” Humphrey—then a 37-yearold mayor of Minneapolis—put everything on the line, rhetorically and politically, to move the party and the country forward. To the surprise of many, including Humphrey himself, the democratic delegates adopted a meaningful civil rights plank. With no choice but to run on it, President Truman desegregated the armed forces and soon thereafter won reelection against the frontrunner Thomas Dewey, a victory due in part to an unprecedented surge of Black voters. Published on the 75th anniversary of that pivotal 1948 speech, Samuel G. Freedman's July 2023 Into the Bright Sunshine examines the politician's early career, when his efforts to promote racial justice not only transformed the Democratic Party but the nation as well. Freedman explores the journey of Humphrey's life from a remote, all-white hamlet in South Dakota to the mayoralty of Minneapolis as he tackles its notorious racism and anti-Semitism to his role as a national champion of multiracial democracy. His allies in that struggle include a Black newspaper publisher, a Jewish attorney, and a professor who had fled Nazi Germany. And his adversaries are the white supremacists, Christian Nationalists, and America Firsters of mid-century America—one of whom tries to assassinate him. Celebrating one of the overlooked landmarks of civil rights history, Freedman illuminates the early life and enduring legacy of the man who helped bring it about. Samuel G. Freedman is an award-winning author, journalist, and educator. He has been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award and has won the National Jewish Book Award and the New York Public Library's Helen Bernstein Award. His columns for the New York Times about education and religion have received national prizes. He is a professor at Columbia University, and has been named the nation's Outstanding Journalism Educator by the Society of Professional Journalists.

Monica puts Biden on blast for making America vulnerable to our enemies, from Iran and China to terrorists and the open border. She also gives props to America Firsters for changing the expectations for a House Speaker and party leader - a true sea change in how we wield our power. Monica then welcomes Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (R-IN) to discuss the battles over the Speakership, government funding and unsustainable debt, and the weaponization of government, which she saw firsthand growing up in the Soviet Union.

This July is the 75th anniversary of the critical 1948 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, during which Hubert Humphrey, then the mayor of Minneapolis, gave a stirring and surprisingly successful speech asking the Democratic Party to commit itself to civil rights and to ending segregation. This caused the southern Dixiecrats to walk out and to run Strom Thurman for president—in order to teach the Democrats a lesson. But Truman's upset win over Dewey, caused in no small part by a surge of support from Black voters in northern cities, taught the Democrats a totally different lesson, and set the stage for Truman's desegregation of the military. That led to Brown v. Board of Education and the Montgomery bus boycotts of the 1950s, and to the civil rights legislation that LBJ, with the help of his Vice President Hubert Humphrey, pushed through Congress in the 1960s. Freedman presents a revisionist and riveting look at the American politician whom history has judged a loser because his vice presidency ended in disgrace during the Vietnam War, partially due to the chaos surrounding the also contentious 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago—after which Humphrey lost to Richard Nixon. Yet Humphrey played a key leadership role in the greatest social movement of the 20th century. Freedman explores Humphrey's early life, from a remote, all-white hamlet in South Dakota to the political heights of Minnesota, as he tackles its notorious racism and anti-Semitism and solidifies his role as a national champion of multiracial democracy. His allies in that struggle include a Black newspaper publisher, a Jewish attorney, and a professor who had fled Nazi Germany. His adversaries are the white supremacists, Christian Nationalists, and America Firsters of mid-century America—one of whom tried to assassinate him. Celebrating one of the often overlooked landmarks of civil rights history, Freedman illuminates the early life and enduring legacy of the man who helped bring it about.

From one of the country's most distinguished journalists, a revisionist and riveting look at the American politician whom history has judged a loser, yet who played a key part in the greatest social movement of the 20th century. During one sweltering week in July 1948, the Democratic Party gathered in Philadelphia for its national convention. The most pressing and controversial issue facing the delegates was not whom to nominate for president -the incumbent, Harry Truman, was the presumptive candidate -but whether the Democrats would finally embrace the cause of civil rights and embed it in their official platform. Even under Franklin Roosevelt, the party had dodged the issue in order to keep a bloc of Southern segregationists-the so-called Dixiecrats-in the New Deal coalition. On the convention's final day, Hubert Humphrey, just 37 and the relatively obscure mayor of the midsized city of Minneapolis, ascended the podium. Defying Truman's own desire to occupy the middle ground, Humphrey urged the delegates to "get out of the shadow of state's rights and walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights." Humphrey's speech put everything on the line, rhetorically and politically, to move the party, and the country, forward. To the surprise of many, including Humphrey himself, the delegates voted to adopt a meaningful civil-rights plank. With no choice but to run on it, Truman seized the opportunity it offered, desegregating the armed forces and in November upsetting the frontrunner Thomas Dewey, a victory due in part to an unprecedented surge of Black voters. The outcome of that week in July 1948-which marks its 75th anniversary as this book is published-shapes American politics to this day. And it was in turned shaped by Humphrey. His journey to that pivotal speech runs from a remote, all-white hamlet in South Dakota to the mayoralty of Minneapolis as he tackles its notorious racism and anti-Semitism to his role as a national champion of multiracial democracy. His allies in that struggle include a Black newspaper publisher, a Jewish attorney, and a professor who had fled Nazi Germany.

Into the Bright Sunshine: Young Hubert Humphrey and the Fight for Civil Rights (Oxford UP, 2023) is a book that celebrates one of the overlooked landmarks of civil rights history, and illuminates the early life and enduring legacy of the man who helped bring it about. Samuel G. Freedman is an award-winning professor, columnist, and author of nine acclaimed books. Freedman was a staff reporter for The New York Times from 1981 through 1987.

From 2006 through 2016, Freedman wrote the "On Religion" column, receiving the Goldziher Prize for Journalists in 2017 for a series of columns about Muslim-Americans that had been published over the preceding six years. As a professor of journalism at Columbia University, Freedman has been named the nation's outstanding journalism educator by the Society of Professional Journalists and received Columbia's coveted Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching.

From one of the country's most distinguished journalists, a revisionist and riveting look at the American politician whom history has judged a loser, yet who played a key part in the greatest social movement of the 20th century. During one sweltering week in July 1948, the Democratic Party gathered in Philadelphia for its national convention. The most pressing and controversial issue facing the delegates was not whom to nominate for president -the incumbent, Harry Truman, was the presumptive candidate -but whether the Democrats would finally embrace the cause of civil rights and embed it in their official platform. Even under Franklin Roosevelt, the party had dodged the issue in order to keep a bloc of Southern segregationists-the so-called Dixiecrats-in the New Deal coalition. On the convention's final day, Hubert Humphrey, just 37 and the relatively obscure mayor of the midsized city of Minneapolis, ascended the podium. Defying Truman's own desire to occupy the middle ground, Humphrey urged the delegates to "get out of the shadow of state's rights and walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights." Humphrey's speech put everything on the line, rhetorically and politically, to move the party, and the country, forward. To the surprise of many, including Humphrey himself, the delegates voted to adopt a meaningful civil-rights plank. With no choice but to run on it, Truman seized the opportunity it offered, desegregating the armed forces and in November upsetting the frontrunner Thomas Dewey, a victory due in part to an unprecedented surge of Black voters. The outcome of that week in July 1948-which marks its 75th anniversary as this book is published-shapes American politics to this day. And it was in turned shaped by Humphrey. His journey to that pivotal speech runs from a remote, all-white hamlet in South Dakota to the mayoralty of Minneapolis as he tackles its notorious racism and anti-Semitism to his role as a national champion of multiracial democracy. His allies in that struggle include a Black newspaper publisher, a Jewish attorney, and a professor who had fled Nazi Germany.

Rundown -   Heidi Beedle - 21:59   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:41:25   "Safe Haven" by Dave Gunders - 01:54:24   Colorado experienced another mass casualty atrocity – five innocent people slaughtered by a bigoted madman with an AR-15. Meanwhile, bigoted madmen Nick Fuentes and Kanye West are dining this holiday weekend with 45 at Mar-A-Lago. Our country is at a breaking point.   Listen to November 2019 sound of Donald Trump, Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle and Charlie Kirk heckled off a UCLA stage by Groypers (Nick Fuentes' neo-Nazi crew). Not long after, Michelle Malkin came to UCLA on 11/14/19 to defend Groypers and call out their detractors like Jewish R/W pundit Ben Shapiro.   Reporter Heidi Beedle is well situated to discuss the massacre at Club Q. She knew some of the victims and has been covering bigoted right wing extremism for many years now, first for the Colorado Springs Independent, and now, as a reporter with the Colorado Times Recorder.   Hateful anti-LGBT rhetoric has been spewing out of El Paso County and Heidi has documented the rise and influence of Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs. As an Army veteran, parent, and Colorado Springs resident, Heidi Beedle, who is Trans, knows more than most, and she shares that knowledge.   Beedle's an outstanding guest chronicling the latest exploits of Colorado's latest America Firsters. When right wingers dominate law enforcement in a jurisdiction, Red Flag Laws don't get enforced. Assault weapons are welcomed. We find out what's up with the El Paso County DA and Sheriff.   Heidi Beedle and host discuss the history of Emergency Response Protective Orders (Red Flag Laws), Colorado's lacks a death penalty and considered is whether the feds should seek such punishment. We discuss the role of Republican politicians, pundits, and influencers like Joe Oltmann and #DenverTrumpRadio hosts.   Club Q was a safe haven for many marginalized people in Colorado Springs. Show Troubadour Dave Gunders wrote Safe Haven as a song for a troubled time with a singer looking for peaceful refuge. Colorado needs more safe havens free from the bigoted gun violence. Meanwhile, bigots like Ye, Fuentes and 45 hang together at their Mar-A-Lago haven. For how long?

Opening Monologues. Baby Formula Shortage gets real in Biden's America. Too bad our rulers care only for Ukraine. Desperate Biden trying to blame "Ultra MAGA" for his own failures, complains about the "Great MAGA King." But maybe these are compliments? America Firsters loving the new memes. Meanwhile, more weird Kamala word salads. If you repeat an empty cliche often enough does it somehow become meaningful? Or maybe just more annoying? Preludes to a Super Flower Blood Moon. Preliminaries on author Jack Carr's forthcoming visit to Denver. Great conversations with Callers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With everyone recently pounding their chests about Israel vs. Palestine, José and Nick have a nuanced discussion about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and why America Firsters should avoid taking sides in it.

Sean talks about SOMETHING he has never seen before in an American President. Did Derek Chauvin get a fair trial? The left is not happy with the verdict. Trump's first sit down interview since he left and why the radical left wants all the power and is planting the seeds for a new civil war.

Are people good or bad? Are we considerate or selfish bastards? Colorado Governor Jared Polis knew some scofflaws, realizing there was not much punishment behind his mask mandate, would act like selfish bastards, emulating the President of the United States.   Donald Trump is sending secret police into American cities and we talk about that outrage with former Congressman John LeBoutilliier. He's a Republican disgusted by Trump and his cult of Trumpsters. Dr. Mark Johnson, Executive Director of Jefferson County Colorado Health, answers Craig's questions about Trump, this pandemic, Banadamere, Randy Corporon and what people are really like; deep down.   Dave Gunders, our Troubadour, tells Craig the meaning behind his outstanding song: Deep Down.   Showstopper today is Michelle Malkin, a veteran conservative pundit, not used to getting questioned by a non-adoring host. No one on Denver Trump radio dares question her about the anti-Jew lowlifes she props up as “Mommy Groyper.” Apparently, the hosts on Denver's conservative Trump radio don't mind some Jew hating associations among their heroes.  Wait till you hear my hard questions and how Ms. Malkin responded. You've rarely heard anything like this.   Don't expect hard questions for Malkin, Corporon or their ilk on Denver Trump radio where Peter Boyles rules the roost and Malkin is celebrated for almost getting “hurt” in Denver last Sunday. It is hard to believe that DPD wanted that “celebration” last Sunday. Chief told Corporon and his Proud Boys and America Firsters no thank you, but there was a reaction to be provoked. And boy, was it ever. No one covers Denver and Colorado like the Craig Silverman Show.   Breakdown:   Dr. Nedra Downing Part 1- 7:37 Michelle Malkin- 23:39 Samantha Koch- 1:07:39 Dr. Mark Johnson- 1:40:58 Dave Gunders- 2:12:54 John LeBoutillier- 2:27:53 Dr. Nedra Downing Part 2- 2:50:49 Michael Bailey in Craig's Lawyers Lounge- 3:05:28

TRANSCRIPT It might be a little too early to call it another "Great Awakening," but something is certainly afoot. Something is stirring in the souls of patriots in America, many of whom are solid Catholics. Whether this thing has the potential to turn the ship around, we'll have to see. But if that doesn't happen, it won't be from lack of trying. Given the unique arena in which Church Militant operates — a hybrid of theology and politics — we keep encountering solid men and women of faith who, even if they aren't Catholic, are very friendly toward the One True Faith. Something is stirring in the souls of patriots in America, many of whom are solid Catholics. Among these folks, there is a decided push to change things politically; to grab the Marxists currently in control of Washington, D.C. and give them a good throttling. They are beginning to arrive in droves to the political world. They're first-timers who have never really had any kind of professional experience in politics. Call them the "Trumpsters" or the "America Firsters" — or whatever you call them — they are beginning to gather steam, and they are done with "The Swamp." Many of these folks (mostly, but not exclusively, men) are everything the Marxist Swamp detests with a passion. They're heterosexual family men. They're pro-military, pro-law and order and pro-baby in the womb. In short, they check all the boxes. As I said, Church Militant keeps crossing paths with these folks — people who are also elated to do an interview with us. The feeling on that score is mutual. The most recent interview we did was with Brig. Gen. Donald C. Bolduc, USA (Ret.), the man who served in the Army and put his life on the line for America multiple times — unlike the Marxists currently running the show. He's running for the U.S. Senate next year in New Hampshire and is hoping to unseat first-term Democrat Maggie Hassan.
