Preet's out this week, so we're excited to share an episode of Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov, which we think listeners of Stay Tuned with enjoy. We'll be back next week! Jessica Tarlov sits down for a wide-ranging conversation with Hillary Clinton to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time. They explore how Donald Trump could attempt to broker an end to Russia's war in Ukraine, how Democrats should navigate their relationship with Israel amid the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and Trump's accelerating consolidation of power at home. Secretary Clinton shares her take on the perils of “dumb power” diplomacy, the fractures within the Democratic coalition, and the struggles facing young men in today's economy. Plus, she also reflects on the stakes for democracy—and whether she believes America will ever be ready for a woman president. Follow Raging Moderates, @RagingModeratesPod.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the stunning upset in Iowa as Democrat Catelin Drey flips a ruby red state Senate seat with an 11-point margin, ending the GOP's supermajority and signaling a major warning for Trump's Republican Party. They analyze what Drey's victory means for the balance of power in Des Moines, how her message on child care and abortion rights resonated with voters, and why Republicans are scrambling to protect their maps. Kander and Gupta also dive into Trump's increasingly authoritarian behavior, from embracing the “dictator” label to attempting to fire a Federal Reserve governor, while lying about mortgage records and pointing to foreign autocrats as models for U.S. policy. Plus, they discuss Gavin Newsom's surge in early 2028 polling, the aging of Congress, and what the California governor's rise says about the Democratic bench.

The Democratic strategist Lis Smith joins the guest host Clare Malone, a New Yorker staff writer, to discuss the state of the Democratic Party, and how a decade of reliance on anti-Trump rhetoric has left Democrats reactive and directionless. They consider why groups that Democrats once counted on—from young people to communities of color—are shifting rightward, and what new strategies politicians from Gavin Newsom to Zohran Mamdani are testing to prove that the Democratic Party stands for more than opposition to Trump.This week's reading “The Trump Administration's Efforts to Reshape America's Past,” by Jill Lepore “How Former Biden Officials Defend Their Gaza Policy,” by Isaac Chotiner “The Endless August Recess,” by Antonia Hitchens “The Enormous Stakes of Trump's Effort to Fire the Fed Governor Lisa Cook,” by John Cassidy “What's Life Like in Washington, D.C., During Trump's Takeover?,” by Margaret Talbot Tune in to The Political Scene wherever you get your podcasts.

Part 3 of 3.

Michael Medved has an eye for a story, and a preternatural gift for telling it in beguiling ways.”—Joseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award–winning author of Founding Brothers Has God withdrawn his special blessing from the United States? Americans ponder that painful question in troubled times, as we did during the devastation of the Civil War and after the assassinations of the '60s, and as we do in our present polarization. Yet somehow—on battlefields, across western wilderness, and in raucous convention halls—astounding events have reliably advanced America, restoring faith in the Republic's providential protection.   In this provocative historical narrative, Michael Medved brings to life ten haunting tales that reveal this purposeful pattern, including: • A near-fatal carriage accident forces Lincoln's secretary of state into a canvas-and-steel neck brace that protects him from a would-be assassin's knife thrusts, allowing him two years later to acquire Alaska for the United States. • A sudden tidal wave of Russian Jewish immigration, be­ginning in 1881, coincides with America's rise to world leadership, fulfilling a biblical promise that those bless­ing Abraham's children will themselves be blessed. • Campaigning for president, Theodore Roosevelt takes a bullet in the chest, but a folded speech in his jacket pocket slows its progress and saves his life. • At the Battle of Midway, U.S. planes get lost over empty ocean and then miraculously reconnect for five minutes of dive-bombing that wrecks Japan's fleet, convincing even enemy commanders that higher powers intervened against them. • A behind-the-scenes “conspiracy of the pure of heart” by Democratic leaders forces a gravely ill FDR to replace his sitting vice president—an unstable Stalinist—with future White House great Harry Truman. These and other little-known stories build on themes of The American Miracle, Medved's bestseller about America's remarkable rise. The confident heroes and stubborn misfits in these pages shared a common faith in a master plan, which continues to unfold in our time. God's Hand on America con­firms that the founders were right about America's destiny to lead and enlighten the world.

Joy Reid was an early social media adopter — which didn't always go over well with her former bosses at MSNBC. But after her primetime show, The ReidOut, was canceled as part of MSNBC's shakeup, this past February, Reid quickly used social media platforms to successfully pivot to independent media.  Kara and Reid discuss the evolving landscape of cable news, how her Substack, "Joy's House", and her YouTube channel, "The Joy Reid Show”, allow her to cover topics like the war in Gaza and politics with more freedom, and her insights into the direction of the Democratic party.

Devine argues that Democrats' focus on transgender rights and their criticism of the GOP are misplaced and divisive. The discussion highlights the impact of drugs and mental illness on such violent incidents and condemns the current social and political environment in cities like Minneapolis. Devine also comments on Donald Trump's stance against transgender policies in schools and mentions a recent story about Melania Trump's AI initiative. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this explosive commentary, political analysts delve into a disturbing trend linking multiple mass shootings and violent incidents across the nation to individuals identifying as transgender or non-binary. While the mainstream media largely avoids this connection, this segment boldly examines the ignored patterns and political motives behind what they argue is a deliberate effort to suppress crucial information. The hosts expose a series of alleged copycat crimes, from the Nashville Christian school shooting to the recent incident in Minneapolis, and question the FBI's role in withholding key evidence like manifestos and toxicology reports. They argue that these reports are being intentionally hidden when they contain information that might be embarrassing to the Democratic party, specifically evidence of individuals using cross-sex hormones. The discussion raises unsettling questions about the potential side effects of hormone therapy, its connection to psychosis, and whether it could be a contributing factor in these violent acts. This segment isn't just about guns; it's a fiery debate on censorship, political manipulation, and the desperate need for a real conversation about uncomfortable truths the establishment wants to bury. It challenges the listener to look beyond the headlines and demand transparency.

This segment dissects how Democratic politicians and media figures allegedly use mass shootings to advance a political agenda. The host argues that figures like Jen Psaki and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are using the same, coordinated talking points—specifically the phrase "thoughts and prayers are not enough"—to immediately pivot the conversation to gun control. The hosts draw a parallel to "Operation Mockingbird," a CIA program to influence media, and suggest that a similar, modern-day effort is at play. They contend that the real goal of these synchronized messages is not to offer solace, but to lay the groundwork for future gun confiscation. This, they claim, is a long-term plan to disarm the American public, a first step in a larger agenda that could lead to a future resembling socialist states like Venezuela, where the government and its loyalists are the only ones with firearms. The segment challenges the audience to recognize these patterns and resist the push for gun control, viewing it as a move toward a future where the average citizen is powerless.

This comprehensive analysis deconstructs what is presented as a series of interconnected crises facing the nation. The hosts argue that a disturbing and underreported pattern of violence is emerging, directly linking multiple mass shootings and other violent acts to individuals who identify as transgender or gender non-conforming. They contend that this "epidemic" is enabled by a coordinated effort from Democratic politicians and the mainstream media, which they accuse of suppressing key evidence like toxicology reports and manifestos that would expose a link between cross-sex hormones and psychosis. The segment further expands on this theme of political conspiracy, alleging that a modern-day "Operation Mockingbird" is at play. The hosts claim that Democratic figures are using synchronized talking points, such as "thoughts and prayers are not enough," to covertly advance a gun confiscation agenda. This is framed as a dangerous push toward a "Venezuela-like" state where only criminals and those loyal to the ruling party would be armed. On the cultural and economic fronts, the hosts celebrate what they see as major victories in the "culture war," citing the stock market performance of companies like American Eagle and Cracker Barrel after they faced progressive backlash. They also claim that official economic data, including GDP and inflation numbers, has been deliberately misrepresented by the media to create a false narrative. Finally, the segment touches on a purported "dual justice" system where Democrats are not held accountable for their crimes, and a growing national security threat stemming from an alleged doubling of Chinese student visas, which they believe is a form of treason and a deliberate strategy to allow for industrial espionage.

This segment weaves together a series of controversial topics, arguing that recent events are part of a larger, coordinated political and cultural battle. The hosts first explore a perceived pattern of violence linked to transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, suggesting that mainstream media and law enforcement are actively concealing evidence to protect the Democratic Party. They specifically highlight the withholding of toxicology reports and manifestos, arguing that these documents would reveal a connection between cross-sex hormones and psychosis, a claim they base on a Google search and a translated Russian text. The conversation then pivots to the political use of tragedy, accusing Democratic politicians and media figures of using synchronized, pre-written talking points—specifically the phrase "thoughts and prayers are not enough"—to immediately push for gun control. The hosts connect this alleged coordination to a modern-day "Operation Mockingbird," a conspiracy theory that the CIA manipulates the media. This is framed as a long-term strategy to disarm the public, which the hosts warn could lead to a future like Venezuela, where only criminals and the government have guns. Finally, the hosts discuss broader cultural and economic issues, including President Donald Trump's handling of Chinese student visas and trade, and what they see as recent victories in the "culture war," citing a positive financial outcome for the American Eagle brand after a controversial ad. The segment concludes with a critique of the Democratic Party and the celebration of what they view as significant cultural and economic wins against the left.

This segment combines a series of commentaries on political and cultural topics, arguing that conservatives are finally winning the "culture wars" against the left, while simultaneously facing deep-seated threats from within the government. The hosts begin by celebrating what they view as a major cultural victory: Travis Kelce's collaboration with American Eagle. They argue that this partnership, which occurred despite a backlash against the brand from the left, signals a new era where corporate "woke" activism and cancel culture have lost their power. They attribute this shift to a grassroots consumer rebellion, citing a similar outcome with the Cracker Barrel brand. The conversation then abruptly shifts to a series of conspiracy theories regarding the U.S. government. The hosts claim that the Pentagon has been secretly collaborating with China, alleging that the Obama administration approved a program where Chinese nationals were given access to sensitive military cloud data. They also question who at the Pentagon and USAID approved funding for the Wuhan lab, framing it as an act of treason. The segment concludes with a discussion of the CDC director's ousting, portraying her as a "vaccine dictator" who is resisting efforts to end the emergency use authorization for COVID-19 vaccines in order to hide data on their negative side effects. The hosts repeatedly accuse Democratic figures of being controlled by outside interests and working against the American people.

Ruth Messinger needs no introduction to those who follow New York politics. Beginning in the 1970s, she built a more than 20–year career in public service, serving a decade on the New York City Council before becoming Manhattan borough president for eight years. In 1997, she made history as the first woman to win the Democratic nomination for mayor, defeating the Rev. Al Sharpton in a hard-fought primary. Beyond city politics, Messinger went on to lead the American Jewish World Service for nearly two decades and now serves as its inaugural Global Ambassador. Recently, Messinger has stepped back into the political arena, voicing her support for Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — a striking move at a time when many veteran New York Democrats have held back.  She joined NY1's Errol Louis to reflect on her long career of activism and public service, explain why she believes Mamdani's election is essential despite hesitation in parts of the Jewish community, and share her hopes for a New York City where she thinks working-class people can once again thrive.

It's not hard to find critics of capitalism in the current moment but this has always been true: as long as we have had capitalism we have had critics of capitalism. What are the recurring themes of these critiques and how have they helped to shape the economics profession and capitalism itself?John Cassidy is an author at the New Yorker magazine and also the author of several books. His most recent two are Capitalism and Its Critics: A History: From the Industrial Revolution to AI and How Markets Fail: The Logic of Economic Calamities.Greg and John discuss the multifaceted and varied criticisms of capitalism throughout history. Over the course of the conversation, Greg recounts how John's books have investigated economic crises, the behavioral finance revolution, and the diverse critiques of capitalism from both the left and right. John brings up several examples of historical economic figures, from Adam Smith to Marx, and examines how crises have shaped economic thought and policy. Greg and John also make a point to highlight lesser-known critics and movements, underscoring their unsung importance of economic history.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:When both the left and the right turn against capitalism04:05: In 2016, when Trump was running for the Republican nomination and Bernie Sanders was running for the Democratic nomination, I thought, if you go back into history, it's a long time since we've had sort of major candidates running for office as critics of capitalism from the right and the left. Bernie, of course, has always been a critic of capitalism. He's independent socialist—I'd call him a social democrat, but we can get into what those terms mean if you want. But what's really new was Trump, running from the right with a critique. I mean, people have sort of forgotten now, but when he started out, he was criticizing the banks. He was criticizing big businesses for offshoring. He was running with a critique of capitalism from the right. So that got me thinking about maybe there's a book in how we got here. How can America, sort of world capital of capitalism and always very supportive of the system, come to this state of affairs where the two major candidates are running against it basically?A historical approach to capitalism12:21: Capitalism means anything involving large-scale production on the basis of privately owned assets. Private means of production. And if you adopt that broad definition, then mercantile capitalism, slavery, the plantation economies is a form of capitalism.Why economists often miss the real economy09:51: I realized in sort of maybe the late nineties, early 2000s, that if you want to speak to an economist about what was going on in the economy and what's happening in Washington, there really wasn't much point in calling up Harvard or MIT or Chicago or whatever, because the economics department would say, "Well, we don't really have anybody who covers that. You need to go to the business school, or you need to go to the business economists." So I think maybe there's been a backlash against that since the Great Financial Crisis. I know there's been a lot of efforts inside various universities, especially in Europe, to make the syllabuses more relevant, more sort of real-world based. But I still think at the higher levels of the subject, it's still extremely abstract.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Adam SmithDot-com BubbleGreat RecessionNeoliberalismKeynesian EconomicsMilton FriedmanKarl MarxRosa LuxemburgIndustrial RevolutionCapitalismLudditeWilliam ThompsonRobert OwenThomas CarlyleGlobalizationDependency TheoryAnna WheelerFlora TristanJoan RobinsonRobert SolowPaul SamuelsonJ.

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook vows that she won't go down without a fight against Trump, saying she will "see him in court". Then, Trump weaponizes allegations of mortgage fraud to silence his political opponents. Plus, with Democratic governors taking a stand against Trump, how his attacks are actually helping them. Jeff Mason, Leigh Ann Caldwell, Adam Wren, Dan Nathan, Gillian Tett, Charlie Sykes, and Matt Bennett join The 11th Hour this Tuesday night.

Thanks to President Trump's big budget bill, funding has been canceled for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This is cutting funding to hundreds of radio stations in rural areas that rely on them for critical information. Speaking to The New York Times, GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski, who opposed the bill, sounded absolutely shocked that Trump and the GOP would harm their own voters so cavalierly. She said this is driven by a “blind allegiance to the president's desires,” adding that fear of Trump's anger overrode GOP lawmakers' concerns for their own constituents. Yet this has been the story on many other fronts, too. Will Democrats ever be able to capitalize? We talked to Lynlee Thorne, a Democratic organizer in rural areas as the political director of RuralGroundGame.org. She explains why rural radio is a lifeline, how Trump's agenda is shafting those areas particularly hard, what rural voters think about him right now, and how Democrats can repair the party's deep problems with them.

Synopsis-  A Call to Action: Veterans, Citizens, and Leaders Unite: Hear from veterans like Terrance Deuel, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and UAW President Shawn Fain on why they're fighting for democracy and what you can do to get involved in your local community.Description: Can the Democratic party reinvent itself? In this exclusive one-on-one interview with Bernie Sanders, recorded during the Senator's “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, he sits down with Laura Flanders in Las Vegas to discuss what he hopes people will take away from his rallies, and how we can all push back against oligarchy. Sanders' message is especially resonating with Americans in this moment, as record-breaking crowds turn out for his tour — with many first-time activists in the audience. What is driving this phenomenon? Laura Flanders & Friends hit the road to find out, and traveled from Kenosha to Warren and Las Vegas. Along the tour, Flanders spoke with veterans, retirees and many concerned citizens. She also caught speeches from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain, and sat in on a town hall meeting with Nevada Congresswoman Dina Titus. Will 2025 turn out to be the year that Americans remake democracy?“I did 28 years in the army. I maintained an apolitical front at all times . . . I think we're sliding into tyranny, and I took an oath to support and defend the constitution and I'm going to do that whether in or out of uniform.” - Terrance Deuel“We are at a point where the wealthiest people in the world, like Elon Musk and all the Republicans enabling him, are turning to loot what is left of Medicaid, Medicare, and social security to bankroll even deeper tax cuts and sweetheart contracts for themselves, their fellow billionaires and their corporations. And our political system right now is ill prepared for this abuse of power.” - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez“I think the message of the moment is to understand that the vast majority of the American people do not think that we give tax breaks to the rich and cut social security or veterans programs. They don't. And our job is to work as hard as we can. Part of what this tour is about is to get them involved in their own local communities.” - Bernie SandersGuests:• Jacqueline Davania-Williamson: Resident, Las Vegas, Nevada• Terrence Deuel: Veteran, U.S. Army• Thomas Dyer & Pam West: Retirees• Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Health Director, Wayne County, Michigan• Shawn Fain: President, United Auto Workers (UAW)• Danielle & Jordan Lovik: Residents, Salt Lake City, Utah • Sandra & Raymond Martinez: Applicant & Social Security Recipient• Donavan McKinney: U.S. Representative (MI-11)• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: U.S. Representative (NY-14)• Bernie Sanders: U.S. Senator (VT); Fighting Oligarchy Tour• Dina Titus: U.S. Representative (NV-1) Watch the broadcast episode cut for time at our YouTube channel and airing on PBS stations across the country Subscribe to episode notes via Patreon Music Credit:  “Live For You" by Thee Sacred Souls from their album Got a Story to Tell courtesy of Daptone Records..  "Steppin", "All The Ways" & "Electric Car" by Podington Bear.

This content explores the intersection of immigration policy, public safety, and the culture war. The speaker expresses strong concern over the issuance of commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to non-English speaking individuals, citing a fatal accident in Florida involving an illegal immigrant from India as a key example. He criticizes California's policies, arguing that they endanger the public and drive down wages for American truckers. The monologue then shifts to political commentary, mocking California Governor Gavin Newsom's social media team for allegedly copying Donald Trump's style and attempting to take credit for the Cracker Barrel logo reversal. The speaker views this as a sign of the Democratic party's political desperation and the failure of what he calls the "woke" agenda, which he believes is alienating voters and will lead to future electoral losses.

This Day in Legal History: Constitutional Convention–Article IIIOn August 27, 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia turned their attention to the judiciary. Debates centered on what would become Article III, particularly the scope of judicial power. The Convention approved language stating that federal judicial power would extend to “all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution,” a formulation that blended common law tradition with equitable relief. This phrase would become foundational, granting federal courts broad jurisdiction over constitutional questions. Also debated was the method by which judges could be removed from office. A motion was introduced proposing that judges could be removed by the Executive if both Houses of Congress requested it. This raised immediate concerns about judicial independence. Critics argued that giving such removal power to the Executive would dangerously entangle the judiciary with the political branches. The proposal ultimately failed, with only the Connecticut delegation supporting it. The delegates chose instead to preserve the more rigorous process of impeachment as the mechanism for judicial removal. This decision reinforced the principle of judicial independence, anchoring it in the separation of powers. These discussions on August 27 set enduring boundaries around federal judicial authority and helped define the judiciary as a coequal branch of government.Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has retained high-profile Washington attorney Abbe Lowell to challenge President Donald Trump's attempt to remove her from the central bank. Trump cited alleged mortgage fraud as grounds for her dismissal, claiming she misrepresented two homes as primary residences in 2021. Cook, appointed in 2022 by President Joe Biden, has denied any wrongdoing and faces no charges. Lowell, who recently launched a law firm to defend public officials targeted by Trump, announced plans to sue, arguing Trump lacks the legal authority to remove a sitting Fed governor. He characterized the removal attempt as politically motivated and baseless. Lowell's current and former clients include Hunter Biden, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and several other prominent figures, both Democratic and Republican. His firm also represents ex-government lawyers who claim they were unlawfully dismissed by the Justice Department. Cook is the first Black woman to serve on the Fed's board and her removal would mark an unprecedented breach of the central bank's political independence.Fed's Lisa Cook turns to top Washington lawyer Lowell in Trump fight | ReutersThe Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to lift a federal injunction that is currently requiring it to continue foreign aid payments, despite an executive order halting such funding. In an emergency filing, the Department of Justice argued that the injunction, originally issued by U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, interferes with the executive branch's authority over foreign policy and budgetary decisions. Trump issued the 90-day pause on foreign aid on January 20, his second inauguration day, and later took steps to dismantle USAID, including sidelining staff and considering its absorption into the State Department.Two nonprofits — the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition and the Journalism Development Network — challenged the funding freeze, claiming it was illegal. While the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the injunction should be lifted, the full court declined to stay the order, and Judge Ali rejected another request to do so earlier this week. The administration warned that unless the Supreme Court intervenes, it will have to spend roughly $12 billion before September 30, when the funds expire, thereby undermining its policy goals.Previously, the Supreme Court narrowly declined to pause Ali's order requiring the release of $2 billion in aid. The D.C. Circuit panel later found that only the Government Accountability Office, not private organizations, had standing to challenge the funding freeze.Trump administration asks US Supreme Court to halt foreign aid payments | ReutersAnthropic has reached a class-wide settlement with authors who sued the AI company for training its models on over 7 million pirated books downloaded from “shadow libraries” like LibGen. The lawsuit, filed in 2024, accused Anthropic of copyright infringement and gained momentum after U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted class-action status in July 2025—a ruling that Anthropic said put the company under “inordinate pressure” to settle. The potential damages, estimated at up to $900 billion if the infringement was found willful, created what the company described as an existential threat.In court, Anthropic admitted the magnitude of the case made it financially unsustainable to proceed to trial, even if the legal merits were disputed. Alsup repeatedly denied the company's motions to delay or avoid trial, criticizing Anthropic for not disclosing what works it used. While he ruled that training AI on copyrighted works could qualify as fair use, the piracy claims were left for a jury to decide. Anthropic appealed the class certification and sought emergency relief, but ultimately chose to settle.Critics say the settlement underscores how current copyright law's statutory damages—up to $150,000 per willful infringement—can distort outcomes and discourage innovation. The deal is expected to be finalized by September 3. Meanwhile, Anthropic still faces other copyright lawsuits involving song lyrics and Reddit content. Legal experts suggest the company's move was partly motivated by uncertainty over how courts interpret “willful” infringement, especially with a related Supreme Court case on the horizon.Anthropic Settles Major AI Copyright Suit Brought by Authors (3)Content warning: This segment contains references to suicide, self-harm, and the death of a minor. Discretion is advised.The parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman in California state court, alleging that ChatGPT played a direct role in their son's suicide. They claim that over several months, the AI chatbot engaged in extended conversations with Adam, during which it validated his suicidal thoughts, provided instructions on lethal self-harm methods, and even helped draft a suicide note. The lawsuit accuses OpenAI of prioritizing profit over user safety, especially with the release of GPT-4o in 2024, which introduced features like memory, emotional mimicry, and persistent interaction that allegedly increased risks to vulnerable users.The Raines argue that OpenAI knew these features could endanger users without strong safeguards, yet proceeded with the product rollout to boost its valuation. They seek monetary damages and a court order mandating stronger user protections, including age verification, blocking of self-harm queries, and psychological risk warnings.OpenAI expressed condolences and noted that safety mechanisms such as directing users to crisis resources are built into ChatGPT, though they acknowledged these measures can falter during prolonged conversations. The company said it is working to improve safeguards, including developing parental controls and exploring in-chat access to licensed professionals.OpenAI, Altman sued over ChatGPT's role in California teen's suicide | ReutersOpenAI Hit With Suit From Family of Teen Who Died by Suicide This is a public episode.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Democrats vs. Law Enforcement The show features a critical breakdown of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s MSNBC interview with Joe Scarborough, where Johnson repeatedly avoids answering whether adding 5,000 police officers would reduce crime. Clay and Buck argue this reflects a broader Democratic reluctance to support law enforcement, driven by ideological commitments rather than public safety. They cite crime statistics—such as Chicago’s 629 murders in 2022, exceeding the entire United Kingdom’s total—to underscore the urgency of the issue. Real-World Consequences A gripping firsthand account from a young Asian-American reporter who was violently mugged in Washington, D.C., highlighting the real-world consequences of urban crime. This sets the stage for a broader conversation about President Trump’s aggressive crime-fighting strategy in the nation’s capital, which the hosts frame as both morally necessary and politically effective. The show explores how Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and law enforcement has led to a notable drop in violent crime, including a 13-day streak without a homicide—an unprecedented development in a Democrat-run city. The hosts contrast this with Democratic messaging that downplays violent crime in favor of focusing on homelessness and mental health, arguing that Trump’s results-driven approach is resonating with everyday Americans. Rep. Chip Roy Congressman Chip Roy joins the program to discuss his campaign for Texas Attorney General, his push to ban congressional stock trading, and his support for raising the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots from 65 to 67 to address pilot shortages. He also weighs in on the Texas vs. Ohio State football game, predicting a win for the Longhorns led by Arch Manning. Anything to Not Thank Trump The hosts dive into the political and cultural impact of President Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, particularly in Washington, D.C., where violent crime rates have dropped significantly following federal intervention. They frame Trump’s approach as a bold, results-driven solution that contrasts sharply with Democratic leadership in cities like Chicago and Baltimore. The segment emphasizes how Trump’s actions—such as deploying federal resources and supporting law enforcement—are reshaping the national conversation around urban safety, law and order, and public accountability. The hosts also highlight Trump’s stance on transgender athletes in women’s sports, positioning it as a common-sense issue that resonates with a majority of Americans. They argue that Trump’s ability to solve real-world problems, from securing the border to reducing crime, is what sets him apart from traditional politicians. The discussion underscores how Democrats’ resistance to Trump’s policies—even when they improve public safety—reveals a deeper ideological divide, with some voters prioritizing political identity over personal security.
