On Friday's Mark Levin Show, there needs to be Republican unity ahead of the midterm elections. Any fraying or splintering—such as a handful of Republicans voting against President Trump's interests on key legislation—could lead to electoral losses, ended careers for some lawmakers, and two years of investigations and allegations plaguing the administration and supporters. Republicans must support the President's agenda, as Democrats are in a weak position with low ratings, but GOP disunity could hand them victories and drag down the party and conservative movement. Also, an Iranian regime collapse would reduce oil flows to Communist China from Iran and Venezuela. The Iranian people who are seeking freedom are enduring a horrendous police state amid widespread protests involving all ages, families, and backgrounds, despite being disarmed. The Iranian protestors need our help now, there needs to be immediate U.S. military action, without troops, to help. Later, there's an intentional invasion and a failure to act will lead to losing everything, as has happened in London, Paris, Canada, Australia, and now New York City. The Democrat Party is devoured by Stalinist and Islamist elements. There's a dark time in the country with escalating leftist violence backed by Democrat mayors and funded militias from billionaires and foreign entities like Qatar, aiming to overthrow the nation through groups like Cair. Finally, Jim Trusty calls in to break down the legal aspect of the ICE shooting in Minneopolis and Hamas supporters in NYC. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there's new information that contradicts what the Democrats and their media have been saying about Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot by an ICE agent. There's been an effort to portray her as a non-activist, but she was a Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch' ‘warrior' who was trained to resist the feds before the shooting. The Democrat party and their media are responsible for this shooting with their violent rhetoric. Also, Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson are the worst type of grifters. There are enemies to people of deep Christian faith, Jews, patriotic Americans supporting President Trump, and those opposing the rise of Islamism and Marxism in the country. These grifters, motivated by millions in profits from a niche audience, have abandoned their past personas to preach anti-Semitism, bigotry, racism, Christian-bashing, and America-hating, stabbing Trump and his supporters in the back while using Saul Alinsky tactics to target, personalize, and assassinate characters, often Jews. Later, 17 Republicans joined Democrats in a 230-196 passage of a three-year extension of expired Obamacare health care tax credits. This extension, unlikely to pass the Senate unchanged, imposes tens of billions in costs on taxpayers without systemic reforms, perpetuating inefficient, second-class government-run health care akin to Bernie Sanders' proposals. Afterward, Iran enforced a nationwide internet blackout as protests demanding the removal of the Islamic government and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei escalated across cities. Protesters chanted "Death to Khamenei" and "freedom, freedom." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Michael Knowles and Batya Ungar-Sargon about how the mainstream media and the Democratic Party have put people like ICE shooting victim Renee Nicole Macklin Good at the risk of losing their life by convincing them that it's their duty to interfere and fight back against ICE raids and unknowingly putting themselves in harm's way; Jimmy Kimmel shocking his audience with his truly tasteless joke about Donald Trump after the capture of Nicolás Maduro and the tragic ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Macklin Good in Minneapolis; Marco Rubio making a reporter go quiet with his perfect answer over what the United States plans to do with Venezuela's oil; Pete Hegseth humiliating CNN to their face for their double standards and desperation in trying to find a reason to criticize the capture of Nicolás Maduro; Katie Miller's conversation with Jenny McCarthy about vaccines for kids and if vaccine skepticism has swung too far in the other direction and is beginning to harm children; resurfaced video of Zohran Mamdani's newly appointed tenant advocate Cea Weaver showing her explaining why white homeowners will have to rethink their relationship to home ownership and private property and how she broke down crying when confronted about her mother's $1.6 million dollar home; and much more.

On Thursday, protestors continued to gather in Minnesota's largest city to stand up to Immigration and Customs Enforcement after an officer fatally shot a woman on Wednesday. The victim's name was Renee Good. She was a US citizen, a parent, and a recent transplant to Minnesota. She is being remembered as a deeply loving person – her mother telling The Minnesota Star Tribune she was “one of the kindest people I've ever known.” But none of that has mattered to the White House, which has been slandering her memory. To talk more about Minneapolis and the Administration's disregard for Americans and American life, we spoke to Alex Wagner. She's the host of Crooked Media's podcast, Runaway Country.And in headlines, House lawmakers pass a bill to extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies that expired at the end of the year, New York City takes baby-steps toward universal child care, and President Trump reportedly wants to bribe every citizen of Greenland with greenbacks.Show Notes:Check out Runaway Country – https://tinyurl.com/47zmbdppCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to unpack one of the most confounding political inversions of the Trump era: the moment when lying stopped being a liability and became a source of power. Wolff argues that while past presidents were undone by exposed falsehoods, Trump's credibility has never been weaker—and yet it has only strengthened him. Together, they examine how shamelessness, repetition, and brute insistence on an alternate reality have replaced truth as a governing tool, leaving institutions, media, and public protest strangely inert. From the collapse of shared reality to the media's inability to name what's happening in plain language, this episode digs into why transparent lies no longer undermine authority—and what it means when reality itself stops working as a check on power. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says ICE descended on his city with hopes of rounding up undocumented Somalis. When agents couldn't find any, they started driving around terrorizing people. And now with the killing of Renee Good, they are clearly making the city less safe. But federal officials are also lying about Good's actions before the shooting and her character—and with their bold claims of absolute immunity for ICE agents. More broadly, the administration is trying to intimidate ordinary citizens from documenting the masked agents deployed around the country. Plus, Trump is acting like a conqueror from the Middle Ages when he claims a right to Venezuela's oil, Putin is trying to mask the weakness of Russia's economy, Europeans are back to being anxious over Greenland, and Iranians are taking to the streets again.Anne Applebaum and Mayor Jacob Frey join Tim Miller for the weekend pod.show notes Tim's ‘Bulwark Take ‘on the new footage from Minneapolis Anne's latest pod episode about how federal agents are violating the rights of Americans Anne's latest piece on Venezuela Tim's interview with George Retes Tim's playlist Anne's “book club” recommendations: The Captive Mind The Oppermanns The Director The Choice of Comrades What We Can Know

How long will the United States claim control over Venezuela? “Only time will tell,” President Donald Trump told the New York Times on Wednesday — potentially years. U.S. troops invaded the country over the weekend, kidnapping President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Maduro and Flores pleaded not guilty to narco-terrorism charges in New York on Monday. They now sit in a Brooklyn jail, awaiting trial. Trump and administration officials have justified ousting Maduro by claiming it was consistent with the Monroe Doctrine — a doctrine that through the years “has been expanded into something like a universal police warrant that allows the United States to intervene,” says historian Greg Grandin. “Trump has redefined the Monroe Doctrine to mean, the Monroe is as a weapon that the United States can use in order to protect its interests wherever it wants, whenever it wants. So it's a substitute for liberal international law.” This week on the Intercept Briefing, host Jessica Washington discusses the Trump administration's attack on Venezuela, its larger aims of controlling the Western Hemisphere, and bringing Latin America to heel with Grandin, the author of numerous books, including most recently "America, América: A New History of the New World."“There's an affiliation between the Monroe Doctrine and American First nationalism,” says Grandin. “They imagine United States sovereignty expanding well beyond its borders within its hemisphere.” The administration's vision is outlined in the National Security Strategy the White House released in December. “This is a strategy that announces that the Monroe Doctrine is back in the especially bellicose form. But what's also interesting, if you read further, the United States is not withdrawing from any of those old regions. … It's reserving the right to treat the rest of the world like it treats Latin America.” Trump and administration officials — from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a longtime advocate for Venezuelan and Cuban regime change, to White House chief of staff Stephen Miller — have threatened to expand military operations to Colombia, Mexico, and other Latin American countries that don't fall in line. Maureen Tkacik, investigations editor at The American Prospect, who recently wrote a profile of Rubio headlined “The Narco-Terrorist Elite,” also joins the conversation to discuss the former Florida senator's history and ambitions.Tkacik points out that Rubio, a driving force behind Maduro's ouster, represents a wing of the Republican Party fixated on battling nominally left leaders in the region. That mentality is at odds with a key faction of Trump's base, who say they're against foreign intervention because they think the government should keep its attention on U.S. soil.Trump's attack on Venezuela and fixation on so-called “narco-terrorists,” Tkacik says, “represent an attempt to reconcile these two poles — the Steve Bannon guys and the Marco Rubio neocons — that really have different definitions of America First.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

The capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro marks yet another chapter in a long history of U.S. interventionism across Latin America. We talk to an expert on democracy to make sense of the incursion, how it could destabilize the entire rules-based international order, and why Americans should be concerned about the rise of an “unconstrained and autocratic” Trump. Plus, we get a glimpse of what it was like to be a journalist covering corruption under the Maduro regime, and what Venezuelans might hope for the future.

John welcomes back Michael McFaul, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia and the author of “Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America, & The New Global Disorder,” for a special, two-part deep dive into Donald Trump's foreign policy. In the first installment, McFaul weighs in on the headline-making, world-shaking events of the past week — from America's invasion of Venezuela and exfiltration of Nicolas Maduro to Trump's increasingly insistent (and apparently serious) intimations that Greenland could be next.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Russian Orthodox Church, a longtime arm of the Kremlin, is running an intelligence operation targeting MAGA's Christian nationalism, to help turn America into a dictatorship.  This week's bonus show continues our conversation with Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman. She exposes a sweeping op by the Kremlin's church. You can read her investigation in the show notes. Russians, being white and Christian, get a pass that other terrorist regimes, like Iran, don't. We fact check their mind-hacking op, and also answer questions from Gaslit Nation listeners–like if Putin and Trump got in a fight, who would win?  Whether it's MAGA, the Kremlin, or the regime in Iran that looks on the verge of collapse, it's the same mind-hack everywhere: confuse, divide, and exhaust. The antidote is clarity, which can only be maintained through self-care. This weekend, be sure to find some time in nature, and be gentle on yourselves and others. We're all in this together, and we will overcome.  Join our community of listeners and get bonus shows, ad free listening, group chats with other listeners, ways to shape the show, invites to exclusive events like our Monday political salons at 4pm ET over Zoom, and more!

President Trump raised eyebrows when he told the New York Times that there was only one thing that could stop him on the global stage: his own morality.So what do Americans think about the moral standing of the United States? Well, a new NPR-Ipsos poll finds Americans still want the U.S. to be a moral leader in the world — but far fewer think it actually is. Senior Political Editor and Correspondent Domenico Montanaro shares more from the poll, and Senior International Affairs Correspondent Jackie Northam helps make sense of what it means globally.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.  Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Kai McNamee.

We have good news and bad news to share. In good news, RFK Jr.'s change to the vaccination schedule is the most transformational medical change we have seen in recent years. We're joined by civil rights attorney Aaron Siri, author of “Vaccines, Amen,” for an in-depth analysis of which vaccines were taken off the guidelines and which ones remain. He explains how this policy breaks the dam of medical tyranny. Aaron advises that the next step should be removal guidance for all vaccines that fail to stop transmission while we continue to fight in the states to end all forms of mandates. In bad news, I begin the show with news about housing, welfare, and foreign policy, where Trump continues to treat symptoms executively while exacerbating the causes of those problems when it matters. Meanwhile, no substantial legislative changes are taking place.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
