Podcast appearances and mentions of Angus King

The longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history is over. But with little to show for it, the mostly Democratic politicians who ended the standoff now face intense backlash.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 33: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: From beyond the grave Jeffrey Epstein has accused Trump – and there’s a smoking gun and maybe four of them. The allegations that one of Epstein’s female victims “spent hours at (Epstein’s) house with (Trump)…” that Trump was “that dog that hasn’t barked” and he “has never once been mentioned”… those specific allegations, MADE by Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 and acknowledged by Ghislaine Maxwell minutes later. And now, Trump and his Republicans – especially Speaker of the House Mike Johnson – and his MAGA enablers – and his Fox News propagandists – are complicit in another extraordinary, disgusting cover-up: cover-up of pedophilia, a NEW cover-up - right now - playing out in real time as Trump tries to blackmail Republicans into burying the Epstein FILES. A cover-up, most of all, of Trump’s GUILT. Trump is guilty and Epstein has provided the evidence. And now we turn to the real crisis for Trump. If what the Democrats released yesterday had been the worst thing in the files, Trump could've held a news conference explaining it all away and welcoming full release. Instead he went into full panic and dragged Lauren Boebert into the Situation Room to try to bully her into removing her name from the discharge petition. Didn't work. Now reportedly 100 Republicans in the House will vote for discharge and against Trump and a MAGA lynchpin has declared MAGA is dead. So what is next? What if Trump pardons Maxwell, or commutes her sentence, it will cost him his presidency. Because a pardon or commutation of her would amount to a confession by him. So what MORE is in the Epstein Files? To what lengths will Trump go to stop the release of the files? And when will Trump’s role in the Epstein Crimes, in his past cover-ups of them, in his current cover-up of them, in his cover-up of whatever he is guilty of - when will the true horror of Trump’s guilt become so overwhelming, so disqualifying, that Republicans will have to make the choice between covering up for Trump or saving THEMSELVES? How much time does Trump have left before Epstein destroys him? AND AN UPDATE ON TRUMP'S ACCELERATING DEMENTIA: He wants troops sent to a place that doesn't exist. "The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago," he wrote. There IS no "Miracle Mile Shopping in Chicago" but there is one in Monroeville, PA, and if Trump wants to send troops into Chicago to protect Monroeville he's further gone than we have ever imagined. B-Block (37:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Some late quotes from the Democratic Quislings Jeanne Shaheen and Dick Durbin, and Independent (from reality) Angus King. Bill Pulte and the 50-year mortgage and the lowered standards for getting one. And America's Sweethearts, Kash Patel and Alexis Wilkins and Alexis is suing three MAGA podcasters and being attacked by Candace Owens. C-Block (49:30) GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK.

After 8 Senators broke with Democrats to end the shutdown, Trump and his MAGA regime have now become an unstoppable force in Washington.

The three specific bills in the package are the Agriculture-FDA, Military Construction-Veterans Affairs (MilCon-VA), and Legislative Branch appropriations billsThe shutdown's cause: The ongoing government shutdown is a result of broader Congressional disagreements on appropriations bills, not a specific failure of the 2025 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Act.The bill as a solution: The 2025 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs bill is one of the spending measures being considered by the Senate to end the shutdown.Proposed funding: The bill proposes to fully fund veterans' healthcare and benefits, and provide significant funding for military construction, including family housing. Well, at least the military will keep its full healthcare and funding but these people here sided with the reds smh Sen. Dick Durbin of IllinoisSen. Angus King of Maine (independent who caucuses with Democrats)Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of NevadaSen. Jacky Rosen of NevadaSen. John Fetterman of PennsylvaniaSen. Tim Kaine of VirginiaSen. Jeanne Shaheen of New HampshireSen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshirejust why?,

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's program: Chuck Schumer is officially persona non grata within the Democratic party. It is unclear whether the 7 Democrats and Angus King caved on the shut down at the behest of Schumer or in defiance of him but what is clear is his ineffectiveness as Senate Minority Leader. Former New York assemblyman and current primary challenger to Ritchie Torres for the 15-Congressional district of New York, Michael Blake joins the program to discuss his campaign. For more information on Michael's platform check out Michael Blake for Congress. Editor-in-chief of Balls and Strike, Jay Willis joins Sam to discuss the Supreme Court's case on the legality of Trump's tariffs. For more on this, check out Jay's piece in Balls and Strikes. In the Fun Half: Bernie Sanders has choice words for Angus King's claims that "standing up to Trump didn't work" Donald Trump promises to give air traffic controllers who kept working amidst the shut down a 10k bonus. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that bonus if I were an ATC. In the same interview Trump opines on turning healthcare into market-based accounts that will make people feel like entrepreneurs. Nothing takes the anxiety away from a health concern like having to negotiate a deal for your care. Patrick Bet-David and his crew react to Zohran Mamdani's proposal to enforce existing laws requiring slumlords to repair their buildings or risk having their properties seized by the city. Bill Maher and Cheryl Hines have a real deep conversation about Trump's hatred for war. Even though he has bombed Yemen and Iran, killed almost a 100 people in the Caribbean, threatened regime change in Venezuela, to annex Greenland and Canada, etc. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

During Tuesday's Substack LIVE, Charlie Sykes and Matt Lewis discussed the Democrats' epic cave-in, including:-- How Dems snatched defeat from victory by folding on the government shutdown after just five days of momentum.-- Shutdown Leverage Squandered: Why bailing out Trump when polls blamed Republicans was a strategic disaster—handing him a win on hostage-taking tactics.-- Authoritarian Context Ignored: From troops in streets to DOJ weaponization, this isn't “normal politics”—treating it as such is malpractice in abnormal times.-- Morale-Killing Surrender: The cave crushed Democratic excitement post-election wins, destroying the fragile coalition built in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York.-- Chuck Schumer's Leadership Crisis: Out of touch with the moment—time for generational change; he's playing “before times” rules in a Thunderdome era.-- Trump's Madman Theory Works: By scaring moderates like Angus King and Jeanne Shaheen, he proves craziness pays—Dems must stop pre-surrendering.-- Gavin Newsom emerges as the fighter trolling Trump with memes, blocking gerrymandering, and rallying in Texas — moxie in a party of squishes.-- Marie Antoinette Optics: Lavish Mar-a-Lago parties amid SNAP cuts and premium spikes—Trump's out-of-touch hubris is gift-wrapped ammunition.-- And MUCH more!Support "Matt Lewis & The News" at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFollow Matt Lewis & Cut Through the Noise:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 32: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Quislings. Traitors. Cowards. Capitulators. Collaborators. Fakes. Frauds. Enablers. Betrayers. Failures. Political Prostitutes. Senators Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King need to be expelled from the Democratic party and any that mistakenly think they have a chance of retaining their seats must be primaried. Must be. They are not progressives, they are not pragmatists, they are not even moderates. They are fools. Their careers must be ended. Now. Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King. Now. Done. Forgotten. Let us hear their names no more. Last night these eight Senators voted to fold, without any pressure, without any bribe, without anything. They voted to kick millions of Americans off ObamaCare in order to reopen and fund the government – for only three months, mind you – in exchange not for magic beans but just the promise of a vote in which they’ll GET magic beans – a vote ON the health care subsidies - IF half a dozen Republicans defy Trump. A vote about magic beans. Which they won’t win. Their rationalizations were pathetic and suggested their familiarity with the reality of the Senate, of Trump, of the Republican Party, was less than that of the average Senate Page. What's worse is, this happens now as the reality becomes more and clear: Trump’s mind is gone. It’s so bad even The Washington Post noticed. It’s so bad The Washington Post even put it on their front page. He’s hyping weight loss drugs. In The Oval Office. And how he and he alone can bring down their price. And a weight loss patient there to extoll weight loss drugs and say how safe they are and praise Trump’s wonderfulness… collapses. Folds. Drops, slow-motion, like a deflating inflatable tube man at a used car sales lot. Trump – whose mind is gone - not only doesn’t help the guy on the floor… he’s offended he upstaged him. And then Trump – whose MIND IS GONE - falls asleep. For the second time. Or as The Washington Post put it: “A Closer Look At Trump’s Apparent Struggles To Fight Off Sleep In The Oval Office” read the Post headline. “A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds found that the president spent nearly 20 minutes apparently battling to keep his eyes open…” 815 words follow. And four pictures. One of Trump – whose mind is gone - with one eye closed. One with one eye closed and two fingers rubbing it. One with both eyes closed. One where you can almost SEE the snoring. Even. The Washington Post. Knows It. Let’s step back from the nuts-and-bolts of the government shutdown to try to process how it was perceived by Trump…whose mind is gone. HE thought it would be a GOOD idea to cut off food stamps so lines at soup kitchens would get longer just as it was getting cold. He thought the correct political move as the Holidays approached was… government-sponsored starvation. He believed that the country would praise him for… gradually shutting down all air travel – including all air travel FOR HIS SUPPORTERS – first for Thanksgiving and then for Christmas and New Year’s. He thought these were good political moves. SPORTSBALLCENTER (30:00): Yes, legal gambling could send two Cleveland pitchers to jail for 65 years. But no, they didn't actually make a Shohei Ohtani Used Jockstrap baseball card. B-Block (38:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Politico thinks the first thing a Mayor-Elect of New York has to do is answer questions about the 2028 Senate elections. The Breaker media newsletter finds the New York Times fricasseeing its own digital books. That's right: FIFA isn't just polishing Trump's knob, it's inventing a "Peace Prize" so it can polish it harder. And Dr. Oz wants you to lose 400 pounds by the midterms. C-Block (55:00) WHY I'M NOT A HOCKEY ANNOUNCER: One of my favorite sportscasting stories: how my budding career as a plucky pucky play-by-play guy was thwarted when the team we were broadcasting "forgot to rent the rink" - and how I avenged myself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report On today's program: The courts have denied the Trump administration's attempt to block federal funding for SNAP. Despite that victory, seven Democrats and Senator Angus King joined Republicans to reopen the government. Angus King (I-ME) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) defended their votes—King arguing that "standing up to Trump didn't work," and Shaheen claiming the move would allow Democrats to draft another bill... that Republicans will certainly vote against. Rebecca Traister, writer at New York magazine joins the program to discuss the gerontocracy (both in age and philosophy) that has hijacked our political system. In the Fun Half: ICE agents arrest a father and drive off with his one-year-old child. When the child is later picked up by her grandmother, she has a bruise on her face, a dirty diaper, and a rash. Palantir CEO Alex Karp cannot answer a simple question regarding Nick Fuentes. It's pretty incredible to watch him reveal himself as an absolute idiot. Dave Rubin has a new pod with a bunch of his actual friends, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you all. All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

The longest US government shutdown ever recorded could be coming to an end soon after eight Democratic senators voted with Republicans to advance a measure to reopen the government. Angus King, an Independent who caucuses with the Democrats, was one of those senators who broke ranks.

It's Monday, November 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Blind Pakistani Christian man falsely accused of blasphemy against Muhammad Nadeem Masih, a 49-year-old blind Christian in Pakistan, has been arrested and charged with blasphemy against the false prophet Muhammad, punishable by death, reports Morning Star News. Martha Yousaf, his nearly 80-year-old mother, said that Waqas Mazhar, a Muslim man, often harasses her son, sometimes extorting money from him and other times throwing water on him or calling him names. Mazhar, the Muslim, works as a parking contractor in Lahore, where her blind son earns a meager income providing a weighing scale for petty merchants. She said, “Sometimes kindhearted visitors would also give him more money due to his disability, but the park's Muslim workers used to steal it from his pocket.” Some, including Mazhar, had also taken loans of various amounts from the Christian blind man but refused to return the money despite his repeated requests. When Masih went to work on August 21, Mazhar and other mean Muslims refused to let him set up his makeshift stall, roughed him up and took him to the police station where the police, to their shame, mercilessly beat the blind Christian man and forced him to admit to the false blasphemy charge. In John 15:18, 21, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first. …  They will treat you this way because of My name, for they do not know the One who sent Me.” Human Rights Watch said, “Blasphemy [against Muhammad] accusations are increasingly weaponized to incite mob violence, displace vulnerable communities, and seize their property with impunity.” Pakistan ranked eighth on Open Doors' 2025 World Watch List of the 50 most dangerous countries for Christians. King Charles III strips Prince Andrew of title and housing Last Thursday, King Charles III made a shock announcement  confirming that he will strip Prince Andrew, his brother, of both his title and his housing at the Royal Lodge, a lavish 30-room property, which sits in close proximity to Windsor Castle, reports the New York Post. In Andrew Lownie's biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, he documents that during a taxpayer-funded trip to Thailand, “Andrew had 40 prostitutes brought in the space of four days. This was all enabled by diplomats.” Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Lownie said this about Prince Andrew. LOWNIE: “He's been caught lying time and time again. I suddenly found researching my book, you couldn't take a single thing he said without checking it. And I think the King [Charles III] has realized that he hasn't been telling the truth. And so, the evidence against Andrew is overwhelming.” Plus, Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, claimed in her posthumously-released memoir, Nobody's Girl, that Prince Andrew sexually assaulted her three times when she was 17, which he has denied. Numbers 32:23 says, “Be sure your sin will find you out." Democrat Senator John Fetterman: “We have to be better than this!” On Darkins Breaking News, Democratic U.S. Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania  took issue with his fellow Democrats for voting to shut down the U.S. government 13 times in a row. FETTERMAN:  “We're a Democrat, we're not allowed to just open this up. I mean, then our party has bigger problems than I thought we might have already. That's not controversial. Pay everybody. It's a failure. “And to all of the viewers, I'm apologizing that we can't even get together and just open up our government.” REPORTER: “[Minority Leader Senator Chuck] Schumer said, ‘This gets better politically every day for Democrats.'  What do you say to that?” FETTERMAN:  “Ask the hungry people on Saturday. Americans are not leverage. This is not some game show about who's winning or whatever. We have to be better than this.” As a result of the Democrats' refusal to fund the government, 41 million Americans, who receive food stamps now, will not receive them starting this past Saturday. Plus, the pleas of the largest federal workers' union fell on deaf ears, reports NBC News. Speaker Johnson contrasts Trump's wins with Democrat clowns Appearing on Sean Hannity's TV talk show, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, provided a contrast between President Trump's successes of delivering tax cuts, a strong border, a reduction in crime and world peace with the Democrats in the U.S. Senate who have voted 13 times to shut down the government. JOHNSON: “What stands out tonight is the stunning contrast of what we're seeing. History is being made. “Here's President Trump showing peace through strength, using his power and position to bring peace to the Middle East. I mean, a truly massive, historic foreign policy achievement, returning hostages, restoring security to Israel, setting a foundation for lasting peace, and reducing taxes on hard-working Americans at the same time and ending the border crisis and ending the crime crisis, and reducing fraud, waste and abuse in government, and now settling international conflicts all around the globe. “Here are the Democrats on Capitol Hill acting like a bunch of clowns. They're trying to lie to the American people. They're trying to play politics with government funding, and real Americans are being harmed. I think there is such a stark contrast. “I'm not sure there has ever been such a stronger contrast between two political parties, the Republican Party is delivering for the American people and the Democrats trying to make a show out of this.” The 13th U.S. Senate vote on October 28th was 54-45, with only three members of the Democratic caucus voting to reopen the government, reports The Hill. They include Senators John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Catherine Masto of Nevada, and Angus King of Maine, an independent who caucuses with Democrats.    It needed 60 votes to advance.  The "60-vote rule" in the Senate refers to the cloture vote needed to end a filibuster, which is a tactic that allows the minority party to delay or block legislation.  Initially, after the first cloture rule was adopted in 1917, ending a filibuster required a two-thirds majority or 67 votes. In 1975, the threshold was reduced to the current 60 votes or three-fifths majority. Trump flirts with nuclear option to end Senate filibuster President Donald Trump has flirted with the idea of the so-called nuclear option which would deep-six the cloture vote altogether, enabling the majority party to pass legislation with a simply majority vote. On TruthSocial last Thursday, he wrote, “It is now time for the Republicans to play their ‘TRUMP CARD,' and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW! “WE are in power, and if we did what we should be doing, it would IMMEDIATELY end this ridiculous, country-destroying ‘SHUT DOWN.'”  However, President Trump does not appear to have enough votes from within the Republican caucus to end the filibuster. The Democratic shutdown is animated, in part, by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York's concern that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has a commanding 21 percentage point lead over Schumer in a hypothetical match-up in a Democratic Senatorial primary for 2028, reports Newsweek. This is the second longest government shutdown in American history. The longest one lasted 34 days during the first Trump administration, reports CBS News. 61 Planned Parenthood abortion centers have closed in 2025 And finally, Troy Newman, president of the pro-life group Operation Rescue, had some great news, reports LifeNews.com.  He said, “61 Planned Parenthood locations in total (including referral centers) have shut their doors since our 2024 survey — a record number.” The ripple effect of President Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill is saving lots of babies from abortion. Planned Parenthood was defunded $600 million of taxpayer money for a year which has resulted in these inevitable closures. Speaking of Prophet Jeremiah in the womb, God said, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”  (Jeremiah 1:5) That divine statement is true of each of us.

Porter, a former congresswoman and accolade of Elizabeth Warren, lost her 2024 race for U.S. Senate. Now a new video has surfaced of her screaming and cursing at a staffer! Now she's back and refusing to say whether more videos of her verbally abusing staff could be made public.

But now the Dems are holding military members' pay hostage to bankroll their Green New Scam projects all over the world. Shameful.” 6:30pm- According to a news report from ABC7 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles has declared a state of emergency and issued an eviction moratorium in response to the Trump administration's deportations of illegal migrants. 6:40pm- While speaking with New York Times reporter Kara Swisher, Kamala Harris said she was the most qualified presidential candidate in U.S. history.

Gubernatorial candidate Angus King III shares why he is pivoting from business to politics in our latest podcast episode. The founder and former president of Peaks Renewables chats with our host Cate Blackford on how he plans to solve some of the biggest problems Mainers are facing today, such as the cost of living, housing… The post Podcast: Angus King III brings a business mindset to the governor's race first appeared on Maine Beacon.

Cause of Shutdown: Shutdown occurred after Congress failed to pass funding past September 30. Cruz argues Democrats deliberately blocked a CR to appease their progressive base. Senate Dynamics: A CR passed the House but failed in the Senate, receiving 55 votes instead of the required 60. Three Democrats (Fetterman, Cortez Masto, Angus King) voted with Republicans to keep government open. Partisan Framing: Democrats are motivated by hatred of Trump and internal party pressures. Schumer is depicted as fearing a primary challenge from AOC and pandering to the left wing. Policy Disputes: Republicans claim Democrats demanded benefits such as free healthcare for undocumented immigrants and removal of work requirements for welfare. The conversation suggests these were “unrealistic demands” meant only as political theater. Impact of Shutdown: Essential services (military, law enforcement, FAA) continue, but workers go unpaid temporarily. Nonessential services like national parks and Smithsonian museums shut down. Political Messaging: Cruz and the host argue this is the “Schumer shutdown,” not a bipartisan failure. They highlight Democrat statements from past years criticizing shutdown tactics, suggesting hypocrisy. WATCH WH Hakeem Jeffries VIDEO HERE Strategic Angle: The Trump administration is said to plan permanent layoffs (“reduction in force”) of federal bureaucrats during the shutdown, targeting those seen as left-leaning. This is framed as a strategic opportunity to reshape the federal workforce. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Fall is just around the corner, kids are back in school, football has kicked off and your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) is here to continue to tear into the future of independent politics. And American politics. This week, we've got a great conversation with Maine State Senator Rick Bennett, a lifelong Republican and former state party Chair who has recently declared his independence from the GOP and announced a run for Governor.  It's a bold move. And becoming a trend we've been focused on for years uniquely on this show. More and more longtime Democrats and Republicans are declaring their independence. Thousands every single day. And more and more candidates for office at all levels.  This is a fascinating and inspiring conversation spanning a lot of the stuff that you are going to find yourself nodding along to. Bennett speaks to the growing movement of politically homeless Americans, highlighting his mission to offer common-sense solutions and restore civility and kindness to politics. He also discusses Maine's rich history of independent political leadership, from James Longley to Angus King, and explains why he believes the state is a bellwether for the future of American politics. He candidly shares the challenges of running as an independent, from fundraising to infrastructure, and outlines his top policy priorities for Maine, including the housing crisis, rising energy costs, and education reform.  The conversation also touches on an important subject not enough people are thinking about. The very real potential for conflict between state governors and Trump. Bennett affirms his commitment to the people of Maine above all else but this episode is a powerful exploration of "getting-stuff-done". It's the spirit and mindset that defines the independent movement and it's the spirit and mindset we're all going to need to make the change we all know needs to happen. It's the latest conversation in our groundbreaking “Meet the Independents” series following other Independent leaders like Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade, independent candidate for Senate from South Dakota Brian Bengs, Independent candidate for Mayor of New York Jim Walden and Chattanooga, Tennessee Mayor Tim Kelly and more. Do yourself a favor and revisit them all.

Jo sits down with Senator Angus King—Maine's straight-shooting Independent and connoisseur of constitutional reality checks—for a conversation that blows the lid off Washington's latest “power of the purse” giveaway. From Congress rolling over on the Rescissions Act (“one more building block in the edifice of authoritarianism”) to the boneheaded crusade against PBS, NPR, and USAID, Senator King calls out the dangerous shift: lawmakers too scared to do their jobs, too eager to hand the President a blank check.They break down why these budget “rescissions” aren't about fraud or waste—they're about ideology and giving the executive free rein to decide what gets funded, what gets axed, and whose voices and lives are on the chopping block. If you want a sanity check on what the Founders actually intended, and why the final line of defense is still us, this is the alarm bell you can't afford to sleep through.Subscribe and Follow Jo:https://linktr.ee/jojofromjerz Hosted on Acast.

John welcomes Independent Senator Angus King of Maine and Democratic Congressman Jason Crow of Colorado to discuss the strategic and political fallout from America's bombing of Iran. In back-to-back conversations, King and Crow—both members of the intelligence and armed services committees on their respective sides of Capitol Hill—contend that they have more questions than answers regarding the impact of U.S. air strikes on Iran's nuclear program; raise red flags concerning the Trump administration's politicization of intelligence; and critique the White House's intention to curtail the sharing of classified material on matters of war and peace with Congress. King also offers his assessment of the Supreme Court's ruling on nationwide injunctions and birthright citizenship, and Crow weighs in on Zohran Mamdani and the implications of his primary victory in New York City for the Democratic Party writ large.

Trump has bombed Iran. And now, the spin and politics is accelerating faster than a B-2 bomber.  And a political bomb dropped on NYC this week as 33-year-old socialist Zohran Mamdani conquered Andrew Cuomo and a cluttered Democratic primary. Now, he'll take on a wacky Republican radio host, the compromised disaster that is Eric Adams, maybe Cuomo (ugh), and true independent and recent guest on this program, Jim Walden. But there's also a big, largely-unreported story of what this really means for NYC and America. And about how 1M independents didn't get a shot to be heard.  Paul Rieckhoff is quickly tearing into it while barreling through a heatwave. And, he has a fantastic and fascinating conversation with perhaps the most powerful independent in America.  Maine maverick Senator Angus King is not a Democrat or a Republican. But he is a true independent and a powerful voice of patriotism and conscience in Washington. He joins the show for the first time and shares his views on Trump's Iran bombing campaign, his efforts to expand his power and the use of the military, and lays out how and if the Senate can do anything to slow him down. And, why he so strongly supports Ukraine—and shares a status update on the Senator Lindsey Graham-led Russia sanctions legislation. And for our Patreon members, there's some extra content including the Senator's favorite Maine drink, his first car and what's playing on his playlist.  It's smart, respectful, charming and inspiring. Everything that our divisive news and politics in Washington is not.  It's the kind of conversation you can only find on this show.  And it's the latest in our “Meet the Independents” series following other Independent leaders like Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade, independent candidate for Senate from South Dakota Brian Bengs, Independent candidate for Mayor of New York Jim Walden and Chattanooga, Tennessee Mayor Tim Kelly.  Welcome to Independent Americans, Episode 340.

U.S. Senator Angus King (I-ME) talks with Matt Lewis about Senator Margaret Chase Smith's historic “Declaration of Conscience,” delivered in 1950 during the height of McCarthyism. Senator King draws direct parallels between Smith's courageous stand for constitutional principles and today's challenges to American democracy, emphasizing the urgent need for patriotism over partisanship. Citing the erosion of checks and balances, King warns of the rising threat of concentrated executive power and the undermining of the rule of law. He calls on Congress to reassert its constitutional authority and urges Americans to remember that the Constitution is not just a document — it's a defense against tyranny.
