For years, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia was a Democrat with a habit of voting against the party line. Not surprisingly, that was something many Democrats despised and Republicans relished. His resistance cost Democrats big legislative wins, including President Biden's $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act in 2021. After being called a DINO (Democrat in Name Only) for years, Manchin flirted with a presidential run on the No Labels ticket and officially dropped the “D” to become an independent in 2024, shortly before leaving office. Kara talks to Manchin about his new memoir, Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense, his reasoning for occasionally siding with the other side of the aisle, his defense of the filibuster, and why he thinks independents might have a better chance in 2028.

The Rod and Greg Show Rundown – Tuesday, September 16, 20254:20 pm: Craig Shirley, author, historian and Chairman of Citizens for the Republic, joins the show to discuss his piece about how national conservatism doesn't exist in America.4:38 pm: Former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman, now Executive Director of Right on Crime, joins Rod and Greg to discuss the charges filed against the man that assassinated Charlie Kirk.6:38 pm: Guy Ciarrocchi, political commentator and contributor to Broad and Liberty, joins Rod and Greg for a conversation about his piece on how the left must condemn violence instead of making excuses to justify violent behavior.
On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck explores the frustrations of the “mainstream middle” in red states and why Democrats can't seem to reach them, even as discontent with the country grows. From the poisonous information ecosystem that radicalizes voters to the outsized influence of social media and big tech money in Washington, the conversation digs into how extremism thrives while moderation is punished. Chuck also examines the rise of independents, the possibility of a third-party shake-up, and how redistricting battles in California, Missouri, and Georgia could reshape the political map. With major races in New Jersey and Virginia looming, and Democrats struggling to find the right message, the episode highlights both the dangers and the opportunities in an increasingly unsettled political landscape.Then, Chuck sits down with Brian Bengs, who challenged John Thune in South Dakota and is running for senate as an independent, and Todd Achilles, an independent from Idaho, to explore what it really means to run outside the two-party system. They open up about why they chose independence, the challenges of campaigning in red states where the word “Democrat” is a nonstarter, and the dysfunction they see as the product of both parties. From tariffs hurting farmers to the growing cost of attention in politics, the conversation highlights how America's political and economic systems reward division and extremism over pragmatism and compromise.The discussion also tackles the bigger picture: whether the Republican Party could split between MAGA and traditional conservatives, why democracy no longer serves as a pressure release valve, and how corporate power and money in politics further erode trust. Bengs and Achilles share lessons from Ross Perot's run, their views on immigration reform, and the importance of building bipartisan relationships in an age where the middle is punished.

The Supreme Court has officially ruled that Donald Trump's stormtroopers could stop anybody based on their race, accent, or whatever they damn well please and force them to prove their citizenship.

Join Jim and Greg for Monday's 3 Martini Lunch as they call out Democrats and the media for lying about Charlie Kirk's assassin, criticize Attorney General Pam Bondi for forgetting the First Amendment, and laugh at Pete Buttigieg's sudden admission that Joe Biden should never have run for re-election.First, they update the latest evidence in the case against the shooter who assassinated Charlie Kirk last week in Utah and then hammer elected Democrats and leftists in the media who stressed that the parents were Republicans and tried to peddle the fiction that killer was mad that Kirk was not far right enough, even after the facts were painfully obvious.Next, Jim and Greg reprimand Attorney General Pam Bondi for threatening to prosecute people for their despicable celebrations of Charlie Kirk's murder. She also demanded employers fire any employees who did that. They remind Bondi that public pressure on employers over that kind of speech is very different than the government filing charges or trying to get people fired. Jim says that's exactly what the left has been trying to do to conservatives for years.Finally, they laugh as former Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg weakly follows Kamala Harris' lead and says Joe Biden definitely should not have run for re-election in 2024. But Buttigieg, who also never said a word about his alleged concerns, says it's just time to move on now.Please visit our great sponsors:If your business can't adapt in real-time, you're in a world of hurt.

“Hacks on Taps” political guru, Mike Murphy, talks about growing up in Detroit, studying ads, becoming a political consultant by being the only one to raise his hand, starting political pacs, being on the outs with the current Republican party, what the Dems should do to win a bigger percentage of the vote, how buying an EV can really help America, being a Republican in Blue Los Angeles, and secret Republicans in Hollywood whispering that they were conservative! Bio: Mike Murphy is one of the Republican Party's most successful political media consultants, having handled strategy and advertising for more than 26 successful gubernatorial and Senatorial campaigns, including 12 wins in “blue” states that have consistently voted Democratic in Presidential elections, running successful gubernatorial campaigns for Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Christie Whitman (NJ), Tommy Thompson (WI), John Engler (MI), Terry Branstad (IA) along with many other GOP Senators and Members of Congress. In 2024 Murphy founded the EV Politics Project, an organization focused on breaking down the growing partisan divide over Electric Vehicles. Murphy has worked on five GOP Presidential campaigns, and in 2000 was a key strategist for Sen John McCain's “Straight Talk Express” campaign. He also advises several Fortune 500 corporations, as well as several Hedge Funds and Trade Associations. In 2020 he served as a key strategist for Republican Voters Against Trump. Murphy is also a widely quoted pundit; he wrote the popular “Murphy's Law” column for TIME and is a longtime senior analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. He also co-hosts the popular podcast “Hacks on Tap” with his longtime friend David Axelrod. He also serves as co-director of the Center for the Political Future at USC and was a longtime senior fellow at Harvard's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. Murphy also works as a writer and producer in the entertainment industry with projects at HBO, CBS and 20th Century Fox Studios. In 2021 he wrote and created the CBS network pilot “Ways & Means” starring Patrick Dempsey. Murphy was born in Detroit, Michigan and attended the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He lives with his wife Tiffany and daughter Audrey in Los Angeles. He is on Twitter/X at @murphymike.

It's too late to cry cancel culture. The Dems continue to cry for unity, yet they defend and do not speak about the extreme left that celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk and also don't apologize for their own divisive rhetoric. US Senator from Texas Ted Cruz joins James T. in the center ring to give his take on all the happenings. JD Vance was the guest host for the Charlie Kirk show yesterday and the Vice President also made it known how unity cannot happen without accountability. Also, Memphis and the Storm Troopers, Candyman, Hood Tours, and so much more.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the arrest of Charlie Kirk's assassin and the ideological forces behind the murder, plus global updates from Iran, Israel, Ukraine, Poland, and Nepal. From the tragedy in Utah to AI choosing world leaders, today's brief brings the facts you need to understand America's crossroads at home and abroad. Charlie Kirk Assassin Arrested: Utah officials confirmed 22-year-old Tyler Robinson confessed to family and friends after FBI photos, his car, and his leftist ideology tied him to the crime. His boyfriend, Lance “Luna” Twiggs, is cooperating with investigators, raising questions about extremist networks in Utah. Erika Kirk vowed Turning Point USA will continue, declaring, “You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife… We will never surrender.” Polls now show 24% of very liberal Democrats say they take joy in political killings - 20% are unsure if they should. Political Divide Over Violence: Republicans launch a special committee to probe leftist violence, while Democrats dismiss ideology as a motive. Senator Brian Schatz argued, “What f'ing difference does it make if this murderer was left or right.” Utah's Governor Cox blamed the internet, while Illinois' Governor Pritzker pointed at Trump. Bryan warns, “We live in a revolution. Their revolution. And if you disagree with them, you're to be targeted.” Iran's Nuclear Program Weakened but Not Dead: Israeli intel confirms Trump's strikes crippled Tehran's enrichment capacity for years, though knowledge and equipment remain. Israel's defenses, however, are drained and need time to recover, meaning future operations will likely be covert. Israel Rules Out Palestinian State: Prime Minister Netanyahu announced, “There will never be a Palestinian state. This place is ours.” Trump's administration is weighing a U.S.-run Gaza plan that would pay Palestinians to leave, though it has already been rejected by Arab powers. Russian Drones Probe NATO Airspace: Dozens of Russian drones crossed into Poland and Romania, triggering NATO alerts. Trump suggested it was a mistake, but Poland's president insisted, “We know it wasn't.” Zelenskyy pressed NATO to shoot intruding drones down next time. AI Picks New Leaders in Nepal and Beyond: After protests toppled Nepal's communist PM, students asked ChatGPT to name a successor. The AI chose former Chief Justice Sushila Karki, now sworn in as interim prime minister. Asked who should lead America, ChatGPT named Michelle Obama and Cory Booker, dismissing JD Vance as “too polarizing.” Bryan warns, “Seems like something we should watch… since AI is choosing our leaders now.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Charlie Kirk assassination arrest Tyler Robinson, Lance Luna Twiggs trans extremist, Erika Kirk Turning Point vow, YouGov poll political violence Democrats, Senator Brian Schatz internet quote, Governor Spencer Cox internet blame, Governor JB Pritzker Trump blame, Iran nuclear program Israeli intel, Netanyahu no Palestinian state quote, Trump Gaza US-run plan, Russian drones Poland Romania NATO, Zelenskyy NATO shoot down drones, Nepal protests ChatGPT prime minister Sushila Karki, ChatGPT Michelle Obama Cory Booker JD Vance AI bias
