Debutants Curacao are about to break an all-time World Cup record.Spearheaded by veteran coach Dick Advocaat – soon to be the oldest coach in the tournament's history – the Caribbean island are the smallest-ever nation to make an appearance at the finals with a population of only 160,000.So what should you know about the brilliantly nicknamed Blue Wave before they make their bow on the global stage this month?In the second episode of our four-part series on the 2026 World Cup debutants, we're focusing on Curacao –a non-independent country that is part of the Netherlands and has as many Europe-born players as first opponents Germany.Plus, Graham Potter calls up a member of the Swedish nobility in defence and Iran's final friendly opponents Gambia lose their football boots.Chapters:00:00 – Intro02:48 – The coach: Dick Advocaat's age record05:40 – The players: Only Chong born in Curacao09:15 – Qualifying: VAR scare versus Jamaica12:05 – Group: Germany, Ivory Coast & Ecuador15:50 – Gustaf Lagerbielke: Sweden's defensive baron17:42 – Gambia: DJ visits and lost football boots
Hij zag het al heel lang aankomen: de deelname van zijn geboorte-eiland aan het WK. In zijn documentaire is te zien wat dat teweegbrengt: de Blue Wave. We spreken over het claimen van je Nederlanderschap, over Vandaag Inside en natuurlijk doet hij ook een voorspelling over het WK-verloop!
Curaçao is in één klap van een nietszeggend B-land naar het mondiale hoofdpodium geschoten. Met een 0-0-gelijkspel in Kingston tegen Jamaica plaatste het eiland zich voor het eerst in de geschiedenis voor het WK 2026. Met een bevolking van circa 156.000 is Curaçao het kleinste land ooit dat zich voor een WK voetbal plaatst. En dat leverde wereldwijd een gigantische hoeveelheid media-aandacht op. Dit sportieve succes is geen toevalstreffer, maar onderdeel van een langer lopend project: The Blue Wave. Maar wat houdt dit precies in?

Subscribe to our YouTube channel On our political radar this week… Former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan adds to decades of proof that an independent candidate for statewide office is doomed, pulling the plug on what had become a fading Quixotic quest. He was supposed to be the star of the annual Greater Detroit Chamber of Commerce policy conference on Mackinac Island which was wrapping up as we recorded. There are no major surprises coming from the two days of fun, fudge and high-level schmoozing and boozing … and also no gubernatorial debate even though the major contenders are all at the Grand Hotel. It became a wake for the reality of Duggan's “impossible dream” which proved, in fact, to be impossible. Does it clear the way for Jocelyn Benson to ride a Blue Wave into the Governor's office? National Democrats have launched a circular firing squad over the 2024 Autopsy report with DNC chair Ken Martin facing calls for his ouster. But does anyone outside of the party's org chart and the political media give a damn? Meanwhile, Michigan Democrats are making a pitch to the DNC to put Michigan into the first tier of presidential primaries. President Donald Trump's push to reshape congressional districts ahead of the November elections suffered a double setback Tuesday, as South Carolina senators declined to do so and a federal court blocked a Republican-backed map in Alabama. As early in-person voting began Tuesday in South Carolina's primaries, the state Senate rejected a Republican plan to cancel those congressional votes and instead schedule a new primary under revised districts designed to help the GOP oust Jim Clyburn, the state's only black member of Congress. A Republican win in Texas could well mean a Democratic win in November. Utterly corrupt Attorney General Ken Paxton outlasted Senator John Cornyn despite multiple national Republicans correctly pointing out that Paxton was a grotesquely flawed candidate. He's under federal indictment, he narrowly avoided CONVICTION AFTER impeachment – BY A GOP LEGISLATURE, and he's being sued for divorce by his state senator wife thanks to his affair with a former aide and state securities regulator. Democrats in Washington have made it clear that a Blue Wave flip of congressional control will mean investigations into the Trump administration’s corruption. As lawmakers grow increasingly frustrated with President Donald Trump's planned $1.8 billion lawsuit settlement fund and his thousands of stock trades totaling hundreds of millions dollars, a trio of House Democrats is launching a new caucus aimed at fighting malfeasance in government. The new End Corruption Caucus is launching at the direction of Representatives Jason Crow, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mike Levin, D-Calif., spanning the party's centrist to progressive wings. When Donald Trump is feeling down, he brings in his Cabinet which spends a couple of hours telling him how great he is. On Wednesday the latest gathering focused on extolling what great things Trump has done for the economy and bringing Iran to its knees … nevermind that neither is consistent with reality. In fact, the latest reports from the Trump government is that inflation moved higher again last month … to the highest level in 3 years. Yes, inflation was lower during the final 2 years of the Biden administration. All of this to help him cope with his cognitive decline and his pending mortality after continual images of his rotting hands, his incessant bragging about being able to pass rudimentary dementia tests (that seem to be a regular occurrence), and news that he's had not one, not two, but THREE physicals at Walter Reed Hospital in less than a year, along with the realization that he was facing humiliation in the mid-term elections … which, all of a sudden, he claims are meaningless for him. And it gave Trump a chance to introduce the latest merch available for his flock to buy on his QVC-style website, even laying out his newest tacky 55-dollar baseball cap in front of each of his cabinet members. Thankfully, none of them wore them during the meeting…and there's no report if the men in the room were wearing their Trump-mandated Florsheim shoes. The Trump administration said Tuesday that it will admit an additional 10,000 white South Africans into the U.S. as refugees this year, increasing its historically low annual cap but still blocking people from other countries from entering through the program. Trump suspended the refugee program on his first day in office and, since then, has turned it into a vehicle to allow Afrikaners — a group of white South Africans descended mainly from Dutch settlers — into the U.S. And there's more than a little turmoil at Michigan State University. The Board of Trustees offered president Kevin Guskiewicz a $1-million pay raise and a contract extention. He said ‘no thanks' and, after just two years in East Lansing, moves to President of Clemson University. This, after the board enacts controversial rules muzzling individual members … and penalizing two trustees for refusing to agree to the changes. All this adds to proposals to have the Governor appoint all university boards instead of relying on state political party nominations and partisan elections. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In loving memory of our friend, Dr. John ‘Joe’ Schwarz – 1937-2026 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Introducing our new podcast!

This hour, Ian Hoch speaks with Pearson Cross, Professor of Political Science at ULM, to break down the latest in the redistricting arms race, what Louisiana v. Callais could mean for the state's congressional map and that majority-Black district, and what the early midterm polling is telling us about the mood of the country.
The Washington Roundtable examines the potential for a “Blue Wave” in the 2026 midterms. The hosts are joined by Morris Katz, a twenty-six-year-old Democratic political strategist for Zohran Mamdani and Graham Platner, a Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine. Katz argues that for the Party to win a historic majority in the next election, it needs to embrace outsider candidates who refuse money from corporate PACs and aren't “apologetic” about the government's role in people's lives. “We can run a campaign that says, ‘Donald Trump said he'd end forever war and lower costs and he hasn't'—that will be successful,” Katz says. “I think even more successful would be that we are going to end forever wars, and we are going to lower costs by taking on monopolies—by taking on price gouging, by raising wages, by taxing billionaires more.” This week's reading: “Donald Trump Is Breaking Up with Europe,” by Susan B. Glasser “How the War in Iran Became a Race to Stabilize the Global Economic Order,” by Sudarsan Raghavan “A Former Prisoner of the Iranian Regime Watches Trump's War,” by Jason Rezaian “The Distant Promise of Iran's Would-Be King,” by Azadeh Moaveni The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Donald Trump's approval rating hits historic lows as voters react to soaring gas prices caused by his war of choice with Iran. Dan and Jon discuss what those new figures mean for the upcoming midterms and react to Florida Democrats flipping the state legislative seat that includes the president's home at Mar-a-Lago. Plus: the new report that Trump is tiring of the war even as he plans a ground invastion, his likely illegal attempt to pay TSA workers by executive order, and the election crisis facing Democrats in California.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Trump sent Iran a peace proposal. Iran sent it back. Meanwhile, 50,000 American soldiers are in harm's way, oil barrels hit $101, and only 12% of Americans support boots on the ground. Trump has no exit. The strait of hormuz is shut because it's a kill box for any military solution. But here's what the war coverage is burying: Democrats just flipped Trump's home district in Florida by 22 points. That's 115 special elections since November 2024 — Democrats flipped 12 seats, Republicans flipped zero. The midterms are happening right now. Plus: Markwayne Mullin just got confirmed as DHS Director while owning stock in companies that do business with the agency he now runs. That's not a conflict of interest. That's a business model. David Feldman breaks it all down on The Mop-Up.

Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com dives straight into a political firestorm inside the Colorado Republican Party. John Rush and Andy Peth unpack what Andy witnessed during a marathon State Central Committee meeting the night before—one filled with accusations, power struggles, and an overwhelming vote of “no confidence” against party chair Britta Horn. But what's really happening behind the scenes? Were internal allies secretly working against her, and how much influence does former chair Dave Williams still have inside the party? The conversation widens into a bigger question: is the GOP's current caucus-and-assembly system allowing a tiny fraction of activists to control candidate selection and party leadership? With fewer than 1% of Republicans attending caucus meetings, John and Andy ask whether this insider-driven process is producing candidates who can actually win statewide elections. Could eliminating caucuses and relying on petition access to the primary ballot be the only way to rebuild the party in Colorado? They also challenge supporters of the so-called “Davidian” faction to call in and defend their strategy. Is this movement strengthening the Republican Party—or driving it deeper into defeat? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason picks up with John and Andy tackling some of the biggest questions raised by listeners. What exactly is a “Davidian,” and why do the hosts believe this faction still holds enormous influence inside the Colorado GOP? As they continue unpacking the party's internal turmoil, they argue the caucus-and-assembly system allows a tiny fraction of activists to control leadership decisions—leaving most Republican voters on the sidelines. Could a statewide petition to eliminate caucuses be the only way to change the political trajectory of Colorado? The conversation then pivots to global strategy. Are U.S. actions against Iran really about protecting Israel, or is something much larger at play? John and Andy outline what they see as a broader geopolitical chessboard involving oil markets, China, Russia, and shifting alliances across the Middle East. Later, they turn to domestic energy politics. Why are resource-rich places like California, Colorado, and even Canada importing energy while restricting their own production? And could policy choices—rather than shortages—be driving rising costs? Through it all, the hosts challenge listeners to think strategically: if political leadership, energy policy, and global alliances are all connected, what happens next? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason dives deeper into the political turmoil inside the Colorado GOP. John and Andy argue the party's internal battles didn't suddenly appear—they've been building for more than a decade. How did a small faction gain so much influence inside the party, and why do the hosts believe former chair Dave Williams still holds power behind the scenes? John insists the lawsuits and leadership fights are symptoms of a much bigger problem tied to the caucus system itself. The conversation then shifts toward the 2026 election landscape. Is Colorado headed for a massive blue wave—and could the state's divided Republican Party make it even worse? The hosts analyze potential candidates, including Victor Marx and Scott Bottoms, as they debate strategy, messaging, and whether debates even matter this early in a campaign. A listener then raises a provocative question: if statewide victories are unlikely, should Republicans focus on flipping key legislative seats instead? Could a smarter strategy in the House and Senate change the balance of power in Colorado—even if the governor's race is out of reach?
2WAY's Mark Halperin is here for a wide-ranging conversation on power, accountability, and the future of American politics. He and Michael examine why Republicans are putting the Clintons front and center in the Epstein story, why younger Democrats feel no obligation to defend them, and whether selective scrutiny undermines public trust. Halperin also breaks down alarming signs for Republicans ahead of the midterms, the central role of the economy, and what the early jockeying for 2028 reveals about figures like Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, and J.D. Vance. A candid discussion about generational change, media responsibility, and where the political ground is truly shifting. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this raw, must-watch conversation, former GOP Rep. Joe Walsh joins Matt Lewis to unpack the growing backlash against Trump's second term. They discuss: — The stunning Democratic upset in Texas Senate District 9 (a 31+ point swing from Trump's 2024 margin in a red stronghold) — Why shocking videos of masked ICE agents dragging people from streets/parking lots/Home Depot are turning public opinion (even among non-political Americans) — How tariffs and economic pain are eroding Trump's "secret sauce" Epstein files secrecy fueling distrust, GOP cracks (Massie, Rand Paul pushing back), and why images are more powerful than words in shifting opinion — Walsh's Warning: Trump may try to interfere with 2026 midterms – don't underestimate authoritarian moves — Plus lighter moments on Eagles fandom and calls for prayers over Savannah Guthrie's missing mom in Arizona Walsh (a former Trump voter turned fierce critic) and Lewis (original Never Trumper) argue Democrats could retake the House in a "blue tsunami" driven by Trump's overreach – but must build a real vision for 2028.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: 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.

Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today! That's right, woodchuck-chuckers - it's Groundhog's Day! And the big question on David Waldman and Greg Dworkin's lips... on their chapped lips, is… About half of the Epstein files have been released, and wow they are gross. Now half of them are gone because they weren't quite redacted yet. Epstein Island, or thereabouts, was the place for the elite to meet, from Elon Musk down to... Igor… who could be this Igor or that Igor but was most likely one of this guy's Igors. Will there be a Blue Wave? There is definitely a blue swing, and one giant blue swing in Texas. Taylor Rehmet flipped a state Senate seat by 17 points, a 32 point swing, a BFD big enough to push her well-funded opponent, Leigh Wambsganns, right out of Trump's mind. Gops turned out for the election, they just turned out to not like Trump anymore. Donald K. Trump hasn't a chance of getting these voters back, but that doesn't matter if there is no voting. Minneapolis is being pushed out of the news, but ICE hasn't been pushed out, and its economic embargo is destroying the lives of all the residents. Two Latino gang members shot a white man down on the street recently, but lately the gang has moved to indiscriminate use of chemical agents in the towns that they menace. What kind of chemicals? They don't know and they don't care. If anyone complains, there's always biowarfare. Trump might not be the biggest crook in the world, but he's the biggest in a democracy, at least in what's left of one. Nancy Mace is giving him a run on who's the craziest.
Dave Wasserman joins Mona to discuss what's changed and what hasn't since 2018, including electoral map, redistricting, public discontent, and likely turnout.
Like many of you, I am constantly thinking about what's going to happen in the 2026 midterms, which if you can believe it, are less than 10 months away. Unfortunately, we don't have a crystal ball. And if there's one thing we learned from 2024, it's that polls can be wrong. What we do have is data, which can predict which candidates have the best chance of winning and which districts are going to be the closest. That's why on this episode of The Siren Podcast, I had the honor of being joined by Brian Derrick, co-founder and CEO of Oath Vote. Brian and his team have created a brilliant new way to forecast which races across the nation donations can have the maximum impact in. Brian believes that political fundraising as it stands today is broken, with good-intentioned donors wasting millions on long-shot races or safe seats, when instead, that money would be better spent on a candidate running in a closer district who might not enjoy the same national stardom as other candidates. With more strategic donations leading up to the midterms, Democrats will be gearing up for a historic blue wave in 2026. All the most encouraging are the 18 House districts that recently shifted towards Democrats, according to the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, which projected that Democrats have “more than enough opportunities” to win 218 seats, a majority in the House this November. On this episode, we discuss which of these races are the closest as they stand, which exciting new candidates need support the most, and the status of the electoral battleground for the House and the Senate in 2026: Are Republicans in for a generational electoral loss in November?

Driftglass and Blue Gal bring their epic year-in-review series to a close, covering September through December and finally boxing up 2025 to send it to hell. The hosts examine the final months of a year that saw legacy media trapped in their own 'Both Sides Do It' prison, DOGE's promises evaporate into nothing, and the Epstein files get a (incompetent, but still) cover up. But there's also hope in this finale—a massive Blue Wave in November's elections, governors standing up to federal overreach, and signs that Trump's floor might finally be cracking. As they close out the longest decade of their lives, Driftglass and Blue Gal thank their listeners for sticking with facts, empathy, and each other through a year when all three were under constant assault.h/t @markeymarx on Bluesky for the cover artwork More at proleftpod.com.

The Democratic Party swept the off-cycle elections last week, but this isn't the first blue wave we've seen in the Trump era. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss what it means and the significance of New York City electing a Muslim, democratic socialist as mayor.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, Haley abandons her family as the electorate sent Donald Trump a message louder than any poll: America is tired of MAGA. In one of the biggest Democratic sweeps in modern history, voters across the nation delivered a crushing rebuke to Trump's authoritarian movement.And while Haley is away on vacation this week, the rest of us break down everything happening in this wild political moment — from Trump falling asleep on camera again to Steve Bannon openly admitting Republicans need to seize the government to avoid prison.

In today's episode, Tom Bilyeu and Drew dive headfirst into America's current political and economic landscape, unpacking the recent “blue wave” of Democratic wins—including Zoran Mamdani's victory in NYC—and what it signals for the future of governance, policy, and the middle class. The conversation kicks off with heated reflections on the consequences of political shifts, examining the impact of progressive policies, the perennial debate over wealth and poverty, and the mechanics of economic systems that are driving so much division. Drew shares candid thoughts on why some policies, while well-intentioned, might be leading us toward more hardship, especially for the working class—all while painting vivid analogies connecting personal growth, historical lessons, and even Greek myths to our current reality. From government shutdowns and fiscal responsibility to the behind-the-scenes drama of Congress and power plays among billionaires, no stone is left unturned. The episode even touches on breaking news like the UPS cargo plane disaster, the precarious state of America's air travel infrastructure, and technological leaps with wireless brain implants, before rounding out with world affairs like Tommy Robinson's acquittal in the UK. Join Tom Bilyeu and Drew as they challenge conventional wisdom, debate the path forward, and highlight why cultivating a thriving middle class may just be the greatest KPI for America's future.

"We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves." – Zohran Mamdani Welcome to the Gaslit Nation Election Super Special – a block party celebrating the proud American tradition of punching Nazis. Election Day 2025 will go down in history as D-Day for democracy. Terrell Starr joins Andrea to break down what these nationwide victories mean for the future, from the midterms and beyond. It's clear who Americans blame for the government shutdown. The blue tsunami showed up and reshaped the map, literally. In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger made history as the state's first woman governor as Democrats swept the governorship, lieutenant governorship, and attorney general, with nearly every county shifting blue. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill became the first Democratic woman to lead the state, with Democrats gaining seats across the legislature. Our people-powered victories weren't a "blue bubble" story as Donald Trump wants you to believe. Democrats flipped two seats in Mississippi, two statewide offices in Georgia, won the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and wiped GOP control off the Bucks County school board. Colorado voted to feed kids, Charlotte funded transit, Maine rejected voter suppression, progressive D.A.s Larry Krasner in Philadelphia and Alvin Bragg in Manhattan won re-election, and California overwhelmingly voted for redistricting self-defense against GOP autocracy. More on the redistricting battle in future episodes. And in New York City, Zohran Mamdani, just 34, the city's first Muslim mayor and the youngest since 1982, the first candidate to get over 1 million votes since 1969, delivered a victory speech so electric it could light up Times Square, reminding us that unity and humanity are the real antidotes to greed and fear. The fascists forced a fight, and democracy punched back. This is only the beginning. Thank you to every Gaslit Nation listener who voted, who showed up for your community, for our shared livable future that we will build together, and who kept hope alive on our darkest days. We will overcome with our moral force and defiance. To listen to the full episode, join the Gaslit Nation community. Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?

The Kansas City Star headline boasts "Nation Hit by Blue Wave." What a joke. These were the most lame elections ever and anyone trying to make anything of these is like a sports fan declaring the Chiefs are bad because they lost a preseason game. What a sham. You won't believe the composition of the electorate in NY City. If there is one alarming thing from Tuesday... this is it. Kansas AG Kris Kobach has charged the mayor of Coldwater, Kansas for committing election fraud. CBS ratings sizzle for the Chiefs/Bills and 60 Minutes with Donald Trump. The sky isn't falling, Vegas still loves the Chiefs. And then we have a great conversation with a young sports radio host that is moving more and more toward politics. His name is Paul Gallant and he was wrongly called a whacky liberal by Tucker Carlson. Paul is the host of the "Gallant Says" podcast on You Tube and all other pod platforms, and while he hasn't jumped into the deep end of conservative talk just yet, maybe we can provide him with an outlet right here at KKHI.

Well, what a night that was.The 2025 off-year election came and went, and I don't think anybody on the Republican side was quite ready for how hard it hit. I expected Virginia to go blue — I didn't expect it to be a total decimation. Abigail Spanberger didn't just win, she boat-raced it, besting Winsome Earle-Seares by a whopping 14 points. That momentum was even enough to carry Jay Jones, dogged by scandal after scandal, to a smaller (but no less impressive) six-point win. That's despite having an opponent with a compelling ad campaign and a story that, in a different climate, might have turned heads. It didn't matter. The wave swallows all.What stands out to me the most is how broad this Democratic surge really was. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill handed Jack Ciattarelli a 13-point loss, completely rewriting the expectations I had going in. I thought if Republicans were going to find any traction, it would be in the Garden State. It wasn't. In Latino-heavy areas like Passaic, New Jersey — areas that just barely swung for Trump in 2024 after 2010s results in the D+50 space — saw a reversion back to near-2020 Democratic margins. Republicans had a shot to build a new working-class coalition in those towns, and right now, it looks like they blew it.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The real story of the night, though, was New York City. Zohran Mamdani didn't just win. He crushed. He did it with style, focus, and an eye for narrative. His campaign was slick, and his messaging was clear. He connected with voters who felt left behind — people priced out of housing, worried about jobs, unsure about their future. Mamdani was speaking directly to them. He predicted headlines, embraced viral moments, and even handled scrutiny around some of the more potentially-controversial moments of his name with grace and wit. His vote totals show him cracking 50 percent, a number that Cuomo and Sliwa together couldn't touch. It's an out-and-out victory for a campaign that, initially, seemed like a pipe dream for the left.What we're seeing now is a Democratic Party that knows how to win and a Republican Party still figuring out how to respond. And with the 2026 midterms now less than a year away, it's only going to get crazier.Chapters00:00 - Intro01:30 - Virginia04:50 - New Jersery09:37 - Prop 50 in California11:36 - Mamdani in NYC18:51 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Marconi award winning radio host Dan Mandis fills in for the guys this week and we begin with the failure of the No Kings protests to create what they hoped to be a "blue wave" across the country. As they wasted their time with their costumes and silly dances, President Trump was busy getting the business of government done Monday by cracking down on crime, securing peace in the Middle East and doing what he does best. Also the ceasefire in Gaza remains fragile, casting blame for the government shutdown and the increase of executive orders by the President in 2025.
