From Richard Dawkins to Larry Summers, brilliant minds get pulled in. I sat down with the journalist Virginia Heffernan for a recent conversation on Cults, Culture & Coercion to talk about who falls for the Trump cult and why. Virginia spent time inside a group of academics and intellectuals sponsored by Jeffrey Epstein, called Edge, run by literary agent John Brockman. She wrote about involvement in the Epstein cult for The New Republic. She told me she was fortunately kept at arm's length from the worst of it. “I was only there as a fig leaf because they didn't have any women,” she said. “They didn't want me at the parties or on the island.” She watched the dynamics around her. Edge included Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary and Harvard president. The Epstein correspondence released by the House Oversight Committee in November 2025 documents a years-long stream of personal advice Summers sought from a convicted sex offender. In the messages, Summers asked Epstein for guidance on his pursuit of a younger woman he described as a mentee. Epstein called himself Summers' wing man and urged Summers to play the long game by keeping the woman in a forced holding pattern (Harvard Crimson, November 17, 2025). Virginia framed it bluntly: “I would venture to say someone you would least expect to fall under a spell. These are grown men who should know better.” Virginia writes the Magic and Loss Substack, hosts the Omni Shambles podcast, and contributes to The New Republic. The 10th anniversary of her book Magic and Loss has her circling back to a question she has carried since 2016. I thanked Virginia for reading my book and then being the first media person to bravely and publicly support what I wrote about. She wrote a Los Angeles Times op-ed that it was the “best explanatory framework” for what was happening politically. She then went on CNN to be interviewed about it. This led to Brian Stelter interviewing me about my book for his CNN show Reliable Sources. She put it plainly: “I was trying to solve a problem in my mind, which was, how did we get here? And you came along with your book; The Cult of Trump and you did me the favor of giving me a framework.” This is a fascinating interview with a crack journalist. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, the President AND the press came under attack. After an attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, the Trump administration was quick to blame the media and threaten ABC over a joke that hurt their feelings. On this episode, Alex speaks to Brian Stelter, CNN's Chief Media Analyst, about the chaos in the Washington Hilton and the FCC's unprecedented threats against networks. Then Alex speaks to Simon Ostrovsky, a special correspondent for PBS NewsHour, who recounts his harrowing capture in Ukraine in 2014 while reporting and talks about the need for the press to push back against Trump's insults. Finally, Alex is joined by Clayton Weimers, Executive Director of Reporters Without Borders, USA, to talk through the release of the World Press Freedom Index which shows that journalism is under threat globally.

Turns out the great big beautiful White House ballroom was just a roof for the elites' new underground bunker — and they tore out the OLD bunker to build it. Hilariously bad management if Iran takes a swing while it's still under construction. Robbie breaks down why elites should be legally barred from owning bunkers, the Iranian negotiation strategy of showing Trump their cards before the hand plays out, the indictment of Fauci's right-hand man for hiding COVID records, the SPLC/Charlottesville/FBI collusion theory now being floated by Jim Jordan and Trump himself, Pam Bondi prosecuting James Comey for a thought crime over seashells, and the disappearing bullets from the latest Trump shooting attempt.Plus: the Indian scammer running a fake conservative thirst trap, the Zorro Ranch as the gay annex of the Epstein operation, and Brian Stelter discovering that the process is the punishment now that it's happening to ABC.Tickets and merch: robbernsteincomedy.comSend me your porches: thefiretix.comSubscriber bonus episode: robbernsteincomedy.com — $5/monthSponsors:Sheath Underwear — sheathunderwear.com — promo code RYM for 20% offYoKratom — yokratom.com —

The FCC is ramping up the pressure on ABC and Disney by threatening to strip broadcasters of their station licenses.

00:00 We're hearing that, and uh I got to tell you a little bit more about this coming up at the top of the next hour, um that the 2020 election, well, let's go back even further than that. The 2016 election, we know with Operation Arctic Frost that Hillary Clinton colluded with the FBI under Jim Comey. 00:28 colluded with the intelligence community, started that whole ridiculous Russia, Russia, Russia thing. 00:36 claiming that Donald Trump was colluding with the Russians. Well, the only people that were in collusion were Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett. 00:48 Jim Comey, Clapper and Brennan. We know that now. Now that should have been the single biggest political scandal on the planet, but it wasn't because of the mainstream media. 01:11 The mainstream media and their bias is absolutely off the charts. Listen to what Joe Conscious said. I think I'm losing him for just a second. Hold on. He's talking about this stuff? I think we could safely come to one cold and incontrovertible fact that if it's good for Trump and therefore good for the country, legacy media will reflexively be against it. 01:39 I mean, let's quote Pete Hexgoth today, the secretary of war. He told reporters this, you cheer against Trump so hard, it's in your DNA and in your blood. You take half trues, spun information, leaked information to cause doubt and manipulate the public mind. And that's exactly what they do. And they've been able to get away with this for several decades now. Well, now we got Brendan Carr over at the FCC and he's like, wait a minute. 02:09 Wait a minute, hold on. Is what you're doing actually in the public best interest? Because you see, as broadcasters, we have that requirement, the public interest obligation. In fact, we have to file every year a report with the FCC on how we operate in the public interest. 02:38 Now, there's a huge difference between that and censorship. But of course, the Democrats, want to muddy the water on that. You have to serve the public interest. And if just posting, you know, in your so-called news, in your journalism, one side of the story, that doesn't wash. 03:06 So now all the Democrats, including Brian Stelter and all of that, they're very upset over renting a car. the American people have subsidized broadcasters to billions of dollars. 03:21 by providing free access to the nation's airwaves. This is according to Brendan Carr. It is very important to bring back trust in the media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. And they have earned that, not only for what they report, but more importantly, for what they don't report. They hardly reported Arctic frost at all. At all. They hardly reported any of the fraud that was going on in Minneapolis. 03:49 Are they going to report the fraud that's going on in Maine? No, they are not because I guarantee you, you probably haven't heard about that. The autism fraud that's going on in Maine could eclipse what went on in Minneapolis. 04:07 So now there's a video out there that shows homeless people in California being paid to sign petitions. Now, you might say, hey, what is wrong with that? Well, there's a lot wrong with that. Hey, Sandra, you know, what I'm about to show you is one reason people don't trust the election system. Long line, mostly homeless, getting five bucks to sign election petitions. Not only is that illegal, 04:37 They're also being asked to commit fraud by impersonating other voters hundreds of miles away. Hey, hey, what's the line for? Sign a petition. Shut up, don't say nothing to the You 25 bucks to sign a petition. You get 25 bucks? Five bucks. Five bucks. Okay. So the guy who shot this says hundreds signed these petitions. No one reportedly asked for an ID, nor were they told what they were signing. I get fired out of this soon? Yeah. 05:06 And what is it? Just sign it. Just sign it? Yeah. You ready now? First name is going to be Carol. Last name is... And then they tell them w ...

Joe sits down with former CIA analyst and conservative radio star Buck Sexton to unpack his New York Times best-selling book, Manufacturing Delusion. Buck breaks down how the modern Left uses totalitarian-style brainwashing, isolation, and propaganda to manipulate the masses into political madness. From "wine moms" attacking ICE agents to the "Fauci Police" enforcing COVID-19 rules in New York, Buck explains the psychology behind the craziness. Plus, enjoy some hilarious banter about their former CNN colleague Brian Stelter, and hear Buck open up about the deeply humbling experience of stepping into Rush Limbaugh's legendary radio time slot alongside Clay Travis.

CNN's Brian Stelter wasn't "Facts First" when he tweeted: "Pete Hegseth reverting to his fake-news routine in today's Pentagon presser." What's fake? "The press only wants to make the president look bad." Does Stelter watch CNN? Jim Acosta also trashed Hegseth as spewing "Fox MAGA talking points to bash the press."

Stephen Colbert’s “FCC censorship” story just collapsed — and even Brian Stelter accidentally confirmed it. In this clip, Larry O’Connor breaks down how Colbert and Texas Rep. James Talarico pushed a hoax about Trump and the FCC, when the real issue was FCC equal-time rules and Jasmine Crockett getting boxed out as a declared candidate. Plus: why cable vs. broadcast matters, how the media keeps lying, and how the scam helped Talarico raise $2.5M fast.

Pam Bondi just dropped the hammer: Don Lemon has been arrested after a coordinated disruption at a Minneapolis church — and the legacy media is melting down. In this clip, CNN’s Brian Stelter frames it as “retribution,” while critics argue it’s simple law enforcement after a federal grand jury indictment. We break down the Tapper misinformation, the First Amendment hypocrisy, and the damning “Operation Pull Up” footage that suggests Lemon knew exactly what was coming.

On Friday we learned that according to President Donald Trump, when coverage is negative, "It's no longer free speech."  And it seems he's not alone. There's a growing sentiment within the Republican Party, which currently controls the White House and both Chambers of Congress, that actually, free speech doesn't apply if you say mean things about Republicans. This is all in regards to ABC pulling “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from its usual spot in the nightly lineup, after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said that Kimmel should face repercussions for comments regarding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. On this episode, we discuss why the suspension of a late-night talk show host isn't just about a late-night talk show host. It's about speech, and what you can, and apparently can't, say on television. To talk more about the media machinations that got Jimmy Kimmel pushed off the air, and the chilling effect of the FCC's implied threats, we spoke to Brian Stelter, media analyst for CNN. And in headlines, a federal judge in Florida tosses out Trump's $15-billion dollar defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, the United Kingdom, Australia, Portugal and Canada formally recognize a Palestinian state, and new H1-B applicants will have to pay an extra $100,000 fee for their visas.Show Notes:Check out Brian's recent story: https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/20/media/trump-kimmel-disney-bob-iger-abc-fccCall 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.

In this special Friday edition of The Wright Report, we cover the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, FCC pressure, and whether America has entered a new era of censorship and government tyranny. From late-night lies to free speech double standards, today's brief asks whether we are witnessing a dangerous new chapter — or simply the continuation of a fight that began years ago.   Jimmy Kimmel Controversy: Kimmel refused to apologize after falsely claiming Charlie Kirk's assassin was a MAGA supporter. ABC pulled him off the air, citing legal obligations under FCC rules against “news distortion.”   Democrats Cry Censorship: Chuck Schumer compared Trump's FCC pressure to Xi and Putin, Barack Obama called it “a dangerous level,” and Jen Psaki declared it tyranny. Yet all three have histories of supporting government intimidation of conservatives.   Media and GOP Reactions: CNN's Brian Stelter warned America is now “less free,” though he once justified cracking down on conservatives. Republicans like Guy Benson urged caution, warning the precedent could backfire. The Wall Street Journal editorial board argued deregulation of TV oversight is the only long-term fix.   Bryan's Analysis: “We don't live in a functional society anymore. We live in a revolutionary state… either one side wins or the other does. The Left isn't tired of fighting. They want war. Their words, not mine.” Bryan calls for peaceful victories in politics and law — but warns more Charlie Kirks may fall before the nation finds peace.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Jimmy Kimmel FCC suspension, Charlie Kirk assassin MAGA claim, ABC news distortion rule, Chuck Schumer censorship Xi Putin, Barack Obama free speech hypocrisy, Jen Psaki Biden COVID censorship, Brian Stelter freedom of reach, Guy Benson FCC caution, Wall Street Journal deregulation media oversight, Bryan Dean Wright censorship analysis

The administration wants people to believe that Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air because he supposedly crossed a red line when it came to Charlie Kirk—yet at the same time, somehow totally ignore that this is naked government coercion of critics who embrace the time-honored tradition of skewering presidents. And because this is the Trump administration, there's also a corruption angle, namely a local TV station conglomerate trying to curry favor with Trump and FCC Chair Brendan Carr to get a $6.2 billion merger approved. Meanwhile, Vance is openly manufacturing a new, broader conspiracy behind the Kirk assassination, continuing his admitted pattern of just making things up out of whole cloth. It'd be nice if other members of the media noticed.

Brian Stelter is big mad about the Iryna Zarutska murder. Not that she was murdered. No, he has a problem with people talking about it.

Gen Z men and women define success differently. Sky blue and water wet, poll also says. The Trump administration is considering banning guns for transgender individuals.

It's a scary time for political media. After decades of shifting business models and consumption habits, news outlets now have to navigate lawsuits from a president who uses the full weight of the government to punish his enemies. Was CBS's decision to axe "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" purely financial, as the network claims—or was it related to the merger they wanted Trump to approve? Brian Stelter, chief media analyst at CNN and author of the "Reliable Sources" newsletter, sits down with Tommy to discuss what exactly happened to Colbert, whether other networks are kowtowing to Trump, and the episode of South Park that no one can stop talking about.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Iran fired missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar Monday in retaliation for American strikes on three nuclear enrichment sites, marking another major escalation in the growing Middle East conflict. The Qatari government said U.S. forces were able to intercept those missiles. And President Donald Trump downplayed the strikes on Truth Social, writing Iran had alerted the government ahead of time and now "gotten it all out of their 'system.'" The situation is changing quickly, and each development is being chronicled by the media, from the traditional major news networks to MAGA influencers. Brian Stelter, chief media analyst for CNN, breaks down how the media is covering what could become another U.S. conflict in the Middle East.And in headlines: The Supreme Court gave the Trump administration the green light to quickly deport migrants wherever it wants, New York City starts the process of voting for its next mayor, and the U.S. government moves to keep a wrongfully deported man in detention ahead of his pending trial.Show Notes:Check out Brian's work – https://brianstelter.com/Subscribe 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
