"I am my ancestors' wildest dream." Governor Wes Moore wants to fight for the future of this country because he is the product of generational sacrifices made in pursuit of the American dream. The 63rd Governor of Maryland sits down with Dan Le Batard for a deeply personal conversation about the moments that shaped his life and leadership. After losing his father at just three years old and growing up under the watch of a fiercely determined single mother, he struggled to find direction—until military school changed everything. He reflects on witnessing war up close and why it left him deeply skeptical of it, while leading the country to do far more for the soldiers and families who carry its scars. He also recounts the moment he was disinvited by President Trump from the National Governors Association Dinner at the White House—and weighs in on the question many have asked: is Trump a racist?

As part of his investigation into sports betting, Atlantic journalist McKay Coppins gambled $10,000 during last NFL season. He spoke with co-host Tonya Mosley about his experiment, what he learned, and what the explosion of betting is doing to society. “It's turning all of American life into a Las Vegas table game. There's always this kind of glittering mirage of profit that you're chasing, when, in reality, it's designed to sort of demoralize and crush every regular person who plays.” They also talk about how betting has expanded to politics and international conflict. To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the ruling class elitists in Europe and America betrayed their countries by refusing honest debate about uncontrolled immigration of Islamists. These elites encouraged and allowed overwhelming border surges, motivated partly by Islamist strategies to conquer the West. In the U.S., Democrats pursued open borders, try to defund enforcement like ICE to build a future voting base of illegal immigrants. Islamists will vote Democrat temporarily before ultimately destroying both parties and taking over, as seen in parts of Europe, NYC, and Dearborn. The NYC terrorist attack is an example: two young Muslim men, inspired by ISIS, attempted to bomb an anti-Islamist protest, shouting "Allahu Akbar" but the devices failed. Mainstream media and Democrats downplayed or obscured the Islamist terrorist motive, framing it vaguely as devices at an anti-Muslim rally, condemning Islamophobia instead, and avoiding the truth of a near-mass-casualty jihadist attack, which the speaker sees as part of a broader pattern of cover-up by media and elites who tolerate or support such threats. Also, the Iranian regime is not finished off. Let's stick with the plan. Condition-based operations. The media and the Democrats will howl like coyotes no matter what. Any economic impact will be temporary. But the worst outcome would be a prematurely declare victory and the Iranian regime lives to slaughter and nuke another day. Later, the SAVE America act is a no brainer and Democrats desperately oppose it because they benefit from fraudulent practices enabled by big-city political machines. Sen Chuck Schumer acts like a modern George Wallace by insisting everyone should vote—not just legal voters—allowing illegal ballots, double voting, or votes for the deceased to neutralize legitimate votes. Much of this fraud is allegedly legalized, making proof difficult and necessitating stricter statutes like voter ID requirements. Finally, Mort Klein, National President of the Zionist Organization of America, calls in and explains that that the United States would need to confront and attack Iran even without Israel's existence, due to nearly 50 years of direct hostility toward America. This operation must continue to dismantle the regime, protect American lives, prevent nuclear acquisition, and support Iranians desiring freedom, marking the end of past U.S. policies of delay and concessions.

Over a week into the war with Iran, the casualties, global economic fallout, and incoherence of the Trump administration are all growing. This week Alex speaks to Senator Adam Schiff about Democrats' attempts to put Congress back into the decision maker's seat and how to bring transparency to a conflict costing American lives. Then, she speaks to Rachel Maddow, NYT Bestselling author and host at MS Now, about what a political and moral catastrophe the war is, how we got here, and why the only winner so far seems to be Vladimir Putin.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Pro Football Hall of Famer and Chicago Bears legend Brian Urlacher during a special America 250 celebration in Springfield, Illinois. Urlacher reflects on growing up in New Mexico, his NFL career, and why he decided to start speaking out on issues like free speech, cancel culture, and the importance of defending America's founding principles. He shares his perspective on why more Americans should feel confident using their voices, even when facing criticism or backlash. The conversation also touches on patriotism, the challenges facing the country today, and why everyday citizens taking “one small step” to stand up for freedom can make a real difference. Urlacher also gives a look inside the culture of NFL locker rooms, his thoughts on today's sports controversies, and his excitement about the future of the Chicago Bears. This episode is a candid conversation about courage, personal conviction, and why defending American values matters now more than ever.

Iranian state television has broadcast a message in the name of the newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. The message was read by an announcer and gave no clue as to the state of the leader's health. Some reports say he was injured on the first day of US and Israeli attacks. In the message, he said Iran would avenge the blood of its martyrs, and continue to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which one fifth of the world's oil passes. We hear from people in Iran, many of whom say they are now living in constant fear. We also report from the US, where public approval for the war with Iran is the lowest at the start of any conflict since the Second World War, with around 41% agreeing with the US decision to attack Iran. In other news, a court in Russia has given life sentences to four men convicted of carrying out one of the worst terrorist attacks of recent years - the mass shooting at a concert hall outside Moscow. Also: an auction of a remarkable collection of legendary guitars - including Kurt Cobain's trademark 1969 Lake Placid blue Fender Mustang and other famous musical instruments, literary artefacts and sporting and film memorabilia - which belonged to the late billionaire American businessman, Jim Irsay.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Air Date: 3/11/2026 Today is episode 1776, in the year of our nation's 250th birthday, and we thought the occasion called for something big. So, we're tracing the full arc — from the constitutional compromises that made this country possible to the authoritarian vanity project that those compromises eventually also made possible. We're talking about the history, the structures, and the insecure current-but-temporary president who thinks a $400 million ballroom and a coin with his face on both sides will make him a pharaoh.

Chris Cuomo reports from Israel as the war with Iran continues to escalate, offering a perspective that looks very different from the debate happening back in the United States. Cuomo explains why Americans are viewing the conflict primarily through politics and media narratives, while people in the region see it as an existential fight playing out in real time. He breaks down the competing motivations behind the war — from security fears and regional power struggles to domestic political optics in Washington. At the center of the debate is a question rarely asked in American coverage: who actually decides when this war ends? Cuomo examines the strategic calculations driving Israel, the messaging coming from the Trump administration, and how perception, politics, and power are shaping the conflict.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Israeli officials say Tehran has begun firing ballistic missiles armed with cluster munitions, weapons that burst open midair and scatter dozens of smaller explosives across wide areas. The bomblets are far more difficult for missile defenses to intercept and pose a significant danger to civilians on the ground. The International Energy Agency announces the largest emergency oil release in history, sending 400 million barrels into global markets in an effort to stabilize prices as the war with Iran threatens energy supplies. New reporting reveals that as many as 150 American service members have been wounded in the first ten days of fighting with Iran, highlighting the growing toll of the conflict. New details emerge about Iran's newly installed supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei and why he has not appeared in public since the war began.

Are written prayers biblical or just empty tradition? If you've ever felt like praying someone else's words isn't "sincere" or questioned whether liturgical prayers belong in the Christian life, this episode will challenge your assumptions and open up a rich tradition of faith. Did Jesus forbid scripted prayers in Matthew 6:6–7? Many Christians assume prayer must always be spontaneous. But throughout both Jewish and early Christian worship, written prayers were a normal part of community life.In this episode, we look at the history of liturgical prayer and why Acts 2:42 says the early believers devoted themselves to “the prayers.” We'll also talk about how written prayers can strengthen—not replace—your personal conversations with God. We will also explore the beauty and biblical foundation of liturgical prayers, from the Psalms (which are themselves written prayers) to the Book of Common Prayer and prayers written by early church fathers like Polycarp. Many American evangelicals dismiss written prayers as "ritualistic" or empty tradition, but Scripture shows us that God gave us the Psalms to pray, Jesus gave us the Lord's Prayer to pray, and faithful Christians throughout history have used written prayers to train themselves in adoration, confession, and thanksgiving—not just requests. I also share a few favorite historic prayer resources and simple ways to turn Scripture into your own prayers.Shop Prayer Resources⦿ Every Woman a Theologian Shop: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/shop Our Spring Shop is live and filled with new prayer-focused resources including the Praying the Psalms Scripture Guide and Not-So-Quiet Time: Psalms Volume 1, a multisensory guide that you can use alone or as a family discipleship tool.Watch the full Verity Podcast Prayer Series: https://www.youtube.com/@veritypodcastSubscribe to Verity Podcast: https://apple.co/veritypodcastVerity Podcast is an Every Woman a Theologian company.

For Donald Trump, the news is getting worse on his war against Iran. The New York Times reports that the Trump team badly miscalculated Iran's response to the American invasion, leading to a developing energy fiasco. The Times also reports that some officials are pessimistic about the lack of any real strategy to end the war, adding this: “They have been careful not to express that directly to the president, who has repeatedly declared that the military operation is a complete success.” Their fear of telling Trump the truth about our fix is highly unnerving. We're also learning that the United States was likely responsible for bombing the Iranian elementary school. We talked to Columbia political scientist Elizabeth Saunders, author of a new piece on this whole mess. We discuss Iran's closing of the Strait of Hormuz, why Trump can't easily end the war even if he wants to, what it means that officials are leaking dismay about the war's direction, and what likely lies ahead.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on Joe Oltmann Untamed, Joe pulls back the curtain on the political theater unfolding in Washington as the fight over election integrity heats up once again. The battle over the SAVE Act has exposed deep fractures inside the Republican Party, with Senate leadership facing intense criticism from grassroots conservatives who believe the will of voters is being stalled through procedural games. Joe walks through the mounting frustration surrounding Senate Majority Leader John Thune, the renewed debate over voter ID, and the stark contrast between how the United States conducts elections compared with other major democracies. From fiery reactions on Capitol Hill to decades-old statements resurfacing from Chuck Schumer, the show examines why election security has once again become one of the most explosive issues in American politics.Joe welcomes Brigadier General (Ret.) Blaine “Blaino” Holt, a decorated U.S. Air Force commander and former NATO strategist, for a high-level conversation about the global stakes facing America. With President Donald Trump attempting to push forward an aggressive agenda while facing resistance both from political opponents and inside his own party, General Holt weighs in on what this internal friction means for U.S. national security. The discussion expands to growing geopolitical tensions with Iran and the possibility of a broader axis forming among adversarial powers like Russia and China. Drawing on decades of military and strategic experience, Holt breaks down what could trigger escalation and what America must do now to maintain deterrence and stability.Back in Colorado, the program turns to the ongoing controversy surrounding former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters and the political storm surrounding her potential clemency from Governor Jared Polis. Joe explores the latest developments, the public reaction, and the broader questions about political influence, activism networks, and grassroots movements operating across the state. From debates over clemency to the exposure of political organizations shaping local narratives, today's episode connects national power struggles with the battles playing out in Colorado communities. If you want to understand how Washington politics, global conflict, and local power fights are colliding in real time, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

1. The State of the Iran Conflict The U.S. is in week two of a war with Iran, claiming major military success Iran’s missile and drone capabilities have been nearly eliminated. Iran’s navy has been almost entirely destroyed. The U.S. is using overwhelming force, rapid strikes, and no gradual escalation. 2. U.S. Objectives (as framed in the discussion) The stated goals of “Operation Epic Fury”: Destroy Iran's missile stockpiles, launchers, and weapons manufacturing. Destroy Iran’s navy. Permanently prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. 3. Justification for War Iran has been at war with the U.S. for 47 years, funding terrorism (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis). Iran attempted to assassinate former President Trump and other U.S. officials (Bolton, O’Brien, etc.). This war is described as “America-first,” not about Israel, and responds to direct threats against Americans. 4. Political Framing & Criticism of Opponents Democrats are: Confused in their messaging. Trying to politicize gas prices. Accusing Trump of being manipulated by Israel. Media personalities (notably Tucker Carlson) are heavily criticized for: Alleged pro‑Islamist, anti‑Israel, anti‑American rhetoric. Being amplified by foreign adversaries (Iran, Russia, Muslim Brotherhood). 5. Foreign Influence Qatar is: Funding U.S. universities with $6.6 billion. Supporting Hamas. Influencing American academic and political spheres. 6. Economic Effects Gas prices have risen during the conflict. The increase is temporary. Prices are still much lower than under Biden. If Iran’s regime collapses, oil prices may drop significantly. 7. Vision of the Endgame The conflict will be short, decisive, and not like Iraq or Afghanistan. Expectations: No long-term occupation. No large-scale troop deployment. Focused destruction of hostile infrastructure. Confidence that the Iranian regime might collapse, leading to a more stable region without prolonged war.

After an Islamic terrorist tossed a bomb in New York City, a photo went viral of him using a Leftist to get a better launch angle. Walter Masterson, a Leftist comedian, continues to support the foreign invasion onto American soil even after almost getting blown up. There's something broken here. Is it just us or is the media falling for hoaxes more than normal people? Here's the way the media got fooled and what all these hoaxes have in common. The World Baseball Classic is in full swing.

Ted Nugent is an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter best known for his high-energy hard rock style and outspoken personality. Rising to fame in the 1970s with hits like “Cat Scratch Fever” and “Stranglehold,” Nugent built a reputation for his loud, blues-influenced guitar playing and wild stage presence.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, for the media, and now for most politicians, what's most important is not winning this war against Iran AND ensuring it's not replaced by another monstrous regime, but the price of gasoline on a daily basis. If this military campaign is ended prematurely, and the second phase of ensuring the institution of a civil government is not accomplished, chances are this entire effort will be for naught.  The economic, geo-political, and national security gains, which have been immense, and the stated goal of liberating the Iranian people, which initiated this process, could become a disaster in every respect -- including political. After we destroyed the Japanese regime in WWII, the U.S. wrote their constitution and installed a government that would be aligned with us.  We must give very focused thought to what comes after the Iranian regime's navy, air force, missiles, and top leadership are destroyed.  It still has a standing army, secret police, and an entire Islamist-supporting infrastructure.  There are many approaches to dealing with this short of a democracy project or sending hundreds of thousands of soldiers.  But to be clear, if a void is created and left there, and we do not fill it (perhaps with our allies) or significantly influence how it is tilled, it most definitely will be filled by the forces in Iran that remain from the old regime with the support of their allies, including China and Russia. Also, polls show that 91% approve of President Trump's handling of the Iran situation among MAGA supporters and 83% among Republicans. Since Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, and Candace Owens opposed this military campaign, their audience must largely consist of leftists, anti-Semites, foreigners, Islamists, Marxists, and Democrats. Later, Democrats fiercely oppose voter ID requirements, particularly photo IDs, despite broad public support across all races.  Photo IDs are routinely required for everyday activities, yet Democrats claim they are too difficult to obtain, especially for Black people and married women, which is inherently racist and condescending. Without photo ID verification, there is no reliable way to confirm a voter's identity, prevent double voting, or stop impersonation, particularly in the 11 states (mostly Democratic) that do not require any ID.  Finally, Dr James Lindsay calls in and argues that efforts to drive a wedge between Jews and Christians, and to redefine Americanism, stem from multiple interconnected motives. Primarily, opponents of President Trump are now attempting to weaken him and his agenda from within by fracturing his coalition. This includes pushing the Republican Party toward a more radical, identity-based politics inspired by failed European conservatism, moving away from the traditional American ideal of equal citizenship regardless of background. Influencers driving these narratives are motivated by a mix of genuine ideological commitment to paleoconservative or Buchanan-style views, financial incentives like chasing clicks, payments, bot amplification, and foreign boosting, all converging to reorganize the Republican Party and sever U.S.-Israel ties to diminish America's global defensive posture.

In the late 1850s, a young man named Samuel Clemens started out piloting steamboats on the Mississippi River. Within a few years, he embarked on a writing career, adopting the pen name that became famous: Mark Twain. Armed with a wry sense of humor and a natural flair for storytelling, Twain gained wide acclaim for his short stories, travel sketches, and novels.In 1885, he published The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a story of two runaways on a quest for freedom. It would become one of the most celebrated, and controversial, books in American literature. But at the height of his popularity, his risky business ventures and his critiques of American policy abroad threatened to ruin his legacy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

First, we'll go to Malaysia to hear about the Toyol this week.  When cash starts vanishing, a young family assumes stress, forgetfulness or maybe even betrayal are at the root. Then their six-year-old points to the ceiling and whispers about “the little boy” who comes at night and whole new series of possibilities unfolds.  Then we travel to Japan to learn about the Nure-Onna. An American couple follows the sound of cries to find a bundled infant on a lonely riverbank. Or did they? Lynze has three tales this week. Her first is full of sorrow and strange moments around a mirror. Then we revisit The Rake, a creature not regularly covered here. Lastly, a college student needs a place to stay for one week when he finds a good deal. Maybe the deal is too good to be true?  Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp 2026: Have you heard?!

In case you haven't noticed, the American economy isn't doing so well right now. Oil prices have been on an absolute rollercoaster since the Iran war began — but that's not all. On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S. lost nearly 100,000 jobs in February, pushing the unemployment rate up to 4.4 percent. So what exactly is going wrong with the economy, besides… everything? And what can we learn from past economic crises to hopefully avoid another one? To find out, we spoke to Rogé Karma. He's a staff writer at The Atlantic and author of the economy-focused newsletter, Work in Progress.And in headlines, Jane speaks to Crooked's Washington Correspondent Matt Berg about a report that at least 20 countries are now militarily involved in the Iran war, the Democratic National Committee suing the Trump administration, and how flying cars are actually, maybe, really happening.Show Notes: Check out Rogé's piece – https://tinyurl.com/3p3amzx9 Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The stakes feel especially high for this year's top Oscars prize.It feels like every few years there are two films that really set the tone for where American culture is headed. In 2017: it was Moonlight versus La La Land. In 2019: it was Green Book versus BlackKKlansman. And now, in 2026: it's Sinners versus One Battle After Another. And there's one question that host Brittany Luse has at the top of her mind: How do these films capture what it means to live in this moment? And how does the conversation surrounding them become so contentious? Host Brittany Luse is joined by Nadira Goffe, staff writer of culture at Slate, and Robert Daniels, associate editor at rogerebert.com to unpack the discourse taking the internet by storm.Interested in other episodes about cultural critique?

In the last few days, President Donald Trump has said that the U.S-Israel war on Iran will end soon, after oil prices jumped and the growing regional conflict continued to shake markets. After a wave of heavy bombardments throughout Iran, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth promised another round, “The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes.” “Hegseth has, yes, said that it's going to be basically death and destruction from the air, and they're delivering that,” Hooman Majd, an Iranian American writer and journalist, tells The Intercept Briefing. “Killing civilians is a hallmark of American air war. This particular campaign Operation Epic Fury is set apart by the relentlessness of the attacks,” adds Nick Turse, senior reporter for The Intercept. “The two militaries — U.S. and Israel — combined were striking a conservative estimate of 1,000 targets per day in the first days of the conflict. Around 4,000 targets were hit in the first 100 hours of the campaign. For another point of comparison, Israeli attacks in the recent Gaza war were also relentless, but this far outpaces the Israeli campaign by more than double the number of strikes.” On Wednesday, Trump told Axios the war would end soon because there's “practically nothing left to target."This week on the The Intercept Briefing, host Akela Lacy talked to Majd and Turse about the latest developments in the U.S. and Israel war on Iran and the growing number of conflicts the U.S. is engaged in. Senior technology reporter Sam Biddle also joined to discuss how artificial intelligence is being used in various U.S. conflicts.“Airstrikes, air war generally is already so prone to killing innocent people even when you take your time. But whenever you try to hurry for the sake of hurrying — and AI is great at enabling that — you just increase over and over again the chance of killing someone that you didn't intend to or didn't care enough to avoid killing,” says Biddle. “So I think that is an immense risk of just accelerating the metabolism of killing from the air by drone, by airplane — with the stamp of ‘intelligence' that these AI companies are really pushing.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.

For centuries the western Norse colony of Vinland was known only to scholars of the Icelandic Sagas. But in the 19th century the work of a few Scandinavian historians helped revive interest in these previously obscure tales. When the Danish historian Carl Christian Rafn published in his work in English in 1837, many American's were exposed to the idea that the Norse had beaten Columbus to North America by 500 years. Many New Englanders were also excited by the idea that the legendary colony of Vinland may have been in Cape Cod. However, this new interest in the American Vikings also kicked off a wave of Norse flavored forgeries. Some were inspired to create elaborate pseudo-histories that supplanted the America's true first people with a lost group of Norse settlers. The real history of the Norse in North America was soon clouded by a haze of hoaxes and fantasies. Tune-in and find out how runes in Minnesota, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and Newfoundlander named George all play a role in the story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Trump Administration has told a federal judge that they can't refund the money it took illegally from the American people by taxing them illegally through unconstitutional tariffs because it will take 4 Million Hours to process the more than 53 million refunds totaling more than 170 billion dollars, and they just can't spare the personnel! Popok reports on what Judge Eaton in the Court of International Trade could order next, like forcing Trump to hire 4,000 people to work to get all the refunds returned in the next few months, as Trump tries to deny Americans their money until years after he leaves office.

The New Yorker staff writer Jonathan Blitzer joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss Kristi Noem's removal from her post as Secretary of Homeland Security. They talk about the lead-up to her firing—which included accusations of fiscal mismanagement and self-promotion—and her controversial tenure as the head of one of the largest and most powerful departments during Donald Trump's second Presidential term. They also explore the history and evolution of the Department of Homeland Security and how its founding in the wake of the September 11th attacks laid the groundwork for the sweeping—and, according to some legal experts, unconstitutional—powers it wields today. This week's reading:  “Kristi Noem's Fireable Offenses,” by Jonathan Blitzer “How Donald Trump's Iran War Is Destabilizing the Gulf,” by Isaac Chotiner “The Zombie Regulator,” by E.

U.S. Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey joins us for a wide-ranging conversation recorded in one sitting for both podcastsSenator Booker first rose to national prominence as the mayor of Newark, where he built a reputation for hands-on leadership and bold policy ideas. He has now served more than a decade in the U.S. Senate, becoming one of the most prominent voices in the Democratic Party.He's also entering a new chapter personally: Booker recently married and is expecting his first child—something that clearly shapes how he thinks about issues like childcare, family economics, and investing in America's future.Our conversation comes as Senator Booker unveils a new proposal called the Keep Your Pay Act—a plan that would eliminate federal income taxes on the first $75,000 of income, a move he says could dramatically increase take-home pay for many middle-class families.

Today's Headlines: The Pentagon finally broke out the spreadsheet: 140 U.S. troops wounded in the Iran war, 8 seriously, 108 back on duty. On the diplomatic side, Russia — yes, Russia — proposed a UN ceasefire resolution, because apparently Putin has opinions about attacking civilian infrastructure now. North Korea's Kim Jong Un called the strikes "illegal," which is a bold choice of words from a guy who just test-fired nuclear-capable cruise missiles for fun. The Trump administration quietly asked Israel to lay off Iran's oil infrastructure. Turns out when you're eyeing post-war economic arrangements, blowing up the oil fields isn't what you want. In “let's make things worse” news, Senator Lindsey Graham hit Fox News with a "FREE CUBA" hat and ominous promises that Cuba's "liberation" is coming, then swapped it for a "Make Iran Great Again" hat. Separately, Trump's DOJ has been quietly hunting for criminal charges against Cuba's top leaders since February — because why not? Meanwhile, the FBI has lost 300 counterterrorism agents since January, 45 fired, with sources warning the country is now "dangerously exposed." Cool. Meanwhile, New Mexico authorities are searching Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch after allegations that two girls may be buried there. The ranch is now owned by a Republican ex-Texas state senator running for comptroller, whose son works in the Trump administration.  Anthropic has filed two lawsuits against the Pentagon after being designated a supply chain risk in what it calls ideological retaliation. That designation has never been used against an American company before. On the Ticketmaster front: the DOJ settled its antitrust case, but most of the 40 states involved aren't buying it. A federal judge is telling them to accept or negotiate by the end of this week. Finally, the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene's Georgia seat ended without a winner. The April 7 runoff will pit Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller against Democrat Shawn Harris — a cattle farmer and retired brigadier general who actually out-performed the Trump pick. In MTG's own district. Interesting.

What happens when the past starts sounding uncomfortably like the present? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with historian Tad Stoermer to explore the recurring cycle of power, resistance, and transformation in American history. Tad traces his journey from the military and Democratic politics into historical scholarship, explaining why moments of resistance often emerge when authority overreaches. Drawing from his forthcoming book, “A Resistance History of the United States,” releasing June 2, 2026, he connects today's unrest to earlier chapters of the American story. This conversation challenges conventional political thinking and invites listeners to examine current events through a longer historical lens, exploring generational memory, shifting values, and what tends to rise when societies reach a breaking point.

A former U.S. Army Reconnaissance Scout and veteran of a decade in Democratic politics, Stoermer holds a PhD in History from the University of Virginia and is an alumnus of Johns Hopkins and Harvard.
