This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Managing Editor Tyler McBrien and Senior Editors Anna Bower and Michael Feinberg to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Third Country's the Charm.” On Tuesday, the Supreme Court cleared the way—for the third time—for the Trump administration to resume deporting migrants to “third countries” with which they have no connection, staying a lower court ruling that found the policy unlawful and agreeing to hear the case on the merits in December. The decision comes days after the administration quietly flew a group of Somali men—some with no criminal records, who had been held at Guantánamo Bay for a month after being told their plane was only stopping in Cuba to refuel—to Mogadishu, on a flight that departed hours after an appeals court made clear the third-country removal policy was blocked. It also comes as lower courts are increasingly finding the administration in contempt for violating their orders in deportation cases, and as the full D.C. Circuit weighs whether Judge James Boasberg can continue his contempt inquiry into last year's Alien Enemies Act flights. What does this pattern tell us about the administration's relationship with the courts? And how far it is willing to push its immigration agenda?“Here Comes the Bribe.” Last week, ProPublica revealed that, by late 2024, FBI anti-corruption agents believed they had enough evidence to seek a sweeping bribery investigation stemming from a defense contractor's illegal donations to Maine Senator Susan Collins and other members of Congress—only for the probe to die when the Trump administration gutted the FBI and Justice Department units that handle public corruption cases. Collins denies any wrongdoing and has called the contractor a liar, but the story has become a central issue in her tight reelection race. It's also just the latest in a string of stories raising questions about public integrity in and around the Trump administration, from the Putin-linked Russian oligarch that secretly bankrolled Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding, to the Kash Patel- and Todd Blanche-studded wedding of former U.S. Attorney Alina Habba to a Turkish businessman with close ties to the Erdoğan government—with mixed martial arts manager Abdelaziz Ali, a former FBI source and suspected double agent, in attendance. What does the Collins story tell us about what happens when no one is minding the store on public corruption? And how worried should we be about who is buying access to the president's inner circle?“Manufactured Content.” President Trump escalated his war on the press this month, banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House and having the Secret Service seize their reporters' press passes over what he described as years of unfair coverage. A federal judge has since temporarily ordered their access restored, finding the ban likely violated their due process rights. But the White House isn't just restricting who gets to tell its story—it's also paying to tell its own, launching a series of taxpayer-funded TV ads that feature President Trump and closely track his campaign messaging, including one nearly identical to a 2024 campaign spot, just weeks before the midterms. The White House insists these are merely public service announcements. Is the administration breaking longstanding norms in an effort to take control of the narrative? And are there any legal limits that might stop it?In object lessons, Mike has two cautionary tales about tech appeal: “When We Cease to Understand the World” and “The Maniac.” Tyler is embracing sexy technical gear with a recommendation of Field Mag. Scott is returning to an old favorite that just understands him: “Fantasy Football Punishments for Your Work League that Violate the Geneva Convention.” And Anna is delighted by a more cutthroat side of cutting-edge: the National Havoc Robot League.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

This episode is a wake-up call for Colorado's aerospace industry, and it's a story that's been hiding in plain sight. The state's aerospace industry is booming, with companies like Voyager pulling in $52.7 million in revenue in the second quarter of this year, a 51% increase from the first quarter. But beneath the surface, there's a concerning trend: the industry is losing jobs, and the ones that are leaving are the ones that matter most - the factory workers who build the aircraft, spacecraft, and missile parts.The Colorado Economic Development Commission has been doling out tax incentives to keep these companies in the state, but it's a costly endeavor. In just nine months, the commission approved nearly $63 million in tax credits for three companies, including Voyager, Ursa Major, and Project Hera. But the question is, why do these companies need to be paid to stay in Colorado when the state's cost of living is rising and the cost of doing business is becoming increasingly uncompetitive.The state's bureaucrats are starting to acknowledge that the cost of living in Colorado is a major factor in the industry's decline. A report from the Colorado Chamber Foundation found that the state's cost of living is 49th in the country, and the cost of doing business is 38th. Meanwhile, other states like Oklahoma and Texas are offering incentives to lure companies away from Colorado. It's a concerning trend that's leaving many wondering what the future holds for the state's aerospace industry.If you're a part of the aerospace industry in Colorado, or if you're just interested in the state's economic future, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we explore the complexities of the industry and the challenges it's facing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's not quite Briscoes sale level, but 10% off your student loan is not to be scoffed at. Unless you're not a student, never had a student loan, and don't plan on sitting in a lecture theatre for three years. Then you don't really care about this policy except for what it costs you as a taxpayer. The unfortunate thing about democracy is that we're all taxpayers. It'll cost almost half a billion dollars next year, totalling almost $600 million over five years. This is an old trick in Labour's playbook. Helen Clark secured a third term in power after introducing interest-free student loans in 2005. But this week, the Nats will hit back with their own little sweetener. The books are open tomorrow for everyone to have a peek under the hood. Listening to the sounds Nicola Willis was making yesterday, and to the bank economists on Friday, growth and the surplus should be looking a bit better than they did in the last update in May. And then Nicola Willis will use those numbers to release policy: tax cuts. She dropped hints about this at the BusinessNZ election conference a few weeks ago. She's going to try to do something about bracket creep. Which, unlike Labour's student loan bribe, is a bribe that almost all Kiwi taxpayers will benefit from.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Allie's dad, Ron hops on the show to answer questions and provide practical wisdom from the perspective of a former State representative, husband, father, and grandfather. Ron talks about AI, its rapid growth and the need of implementing a “pause” in innovation to give policies and politicians time to catch up with technology. Ron disagrees with Trump's statement that fears regarding AI and data centers are a hoax, citing politicians from both sides of the aisle who agree that guardrails need to be put in place. He gives advice for day to day life in response to questions regarding marriage and parenting and concludes by looking at the affordability crisis and provides clarity about Trump's dividend.Do you have a question for Allie?

They evaluate the GOP midterm convention in Dallas, focusing on Trump's calls for supporters to "cheat like hell," his proposed $5,000 direct payout to voters, and his administration's escalating trade tensions with Canada. Concluding the broadcast, the hosts cover ethical scandals involving Corey Lewandowski's side-hustle soliciting contracts with Qatari officials, Russian oligarch funding connected to the Trump family, and the administration's aggressive efforts to restrict independent journalists' White House press access.

Donald Trump is promising Americans a $5,000 payment if Republicans win control of Congress. He calls it a dividend. Critics call it a bribe. And somewhere in the middle sits one of the strangest election promises in recent memory.In this episode of Mark & Pete, we ask whether the proposed $5,000 Trump dividend is actually a reward for American economic success, a spectacular piece of political theatre, or something uncomfortably close to buying goodwill with public money.The numbers are enormous. A payment of $5,000 to every eligible American adult could cost well over a trillion dollars. That immediately raises the obvious question: where does the money come from? Trump points to tariffs, economic growth and increased government revenue, but the sums do not neatly add up. Governments have, admittedly, never regarded that as an insurmountable obstacle.We look at whether the proposal could legally count as bribery. Strictly speaking, probably not. The payment would not depend on how an individual person voted. But politically the message is rather less subtle: return Republicans to power and there is a large cheque waiting.Is that fundamentally different from politicians promising tax cuts, pension increases, subsidies or benefits before an election? Perhaps not. But the sheer size and simplicity of the offer gives it a rather different flavour. Five thousand dollars is not a minor adjustment buried on page 87 of a manifesto. People notice it.We also ask whether the underlying economic claim stands up. Is the US economy really performing strongly enough to justify a national dividend? Is tariff income creating genuinely new wealth, or simply shifting costs around the economy? And what happens to inflation, borrowing and the already enormous US national debt if Congress actually approves the scheme?There is also a deeper question. Democracy depends on voters making judgements about leadership, policy, character and the common good. What happens when politics increasingly becomes transactional: what will you give me if I vote for you?Our Bible verse is Deuteronomy 16:19: “You shall not pervert justice… and you shall not accept a bribe.”Trump dividend or Trump bribe? Economic genius, shameless electioneering, or simply politics with cashback?Mark and Pete discuss.

Alex discusses Donald Trump's midterm RNC convention in Dallas, criticizing the event as a Trump-centered rally rather than a substantive effort to help Republicans in the midterm elections. He highlights Trump's lengthy speech, his proposed $5,000 “Trump dividend,” rhetoric surrounding Democrats and election rules, and concerns about the economy, the Iran war, and the direction of the Republican Party. Alex also reflects on Charlie Kirk's role in holding together different factions of the MAGA movement and argues that the coalition has become increasingly fractured since Kirk's death. Overall, he views the convention as a defensive and chaotic attempt to make the midterms a referendum on Trump himself.

Jimmy addresses the latest news, like Trump promising Americans $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms, before speaking with Nicole Kidman and Domhnall Gleeson.

Krystal and Saagar discuss Trump promises $5k checks if GOP wins midterms, oil prices spike after Houthi attacks.

COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - BULLETIN, SEPTEMBER 10 2026 An hour into his typical delusional speech at the Republican "Midterm Convention" in Texas last night Trump actually said something different: he offered each adult American $5,000 in a "tariff dividend" if the Republicans maintain control of the House and Senate in the midterms. Without a lot of people being excluded from the bribe that would cost taxpayers $1 Trillion. Bribing voters is completely illegal under a federal law passed in 1948 - although it's debatable whether or not it applies here. It's also debatable about whether or not Trump would pay off on his promised palm greasing. He didn't deliver the "little tariff rebate" of "at least $2,000 each" last December, nor the "Doge Dividend" of last February. Still, it indicates the desperation of Trump, underwater in all swing states with his candidates trailing Democrats in all key Senate races and the GOP privately conceded Congress. And it could be a crime to offer it. Or - please note - to receive it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The John Fugelsang Podcast, John delves into the recent GOP midterm convention in Dallas. Joined by legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson, they dissect the outrageous promises made by President Donald Trump, including the ludicrous notion of a $5,000 “dividend” for every adult American if Republicans regain control. John and Tracy explore the implications of such promises, questioning the legitimacy and feasibility of Trump's claims while highlighting the hypocrisy of a party that decries government spending yet proposes massive cash giveaways.As the conversation unfolds, they touch upon the ongoing political maneuvering surrounding gerrymandering, the Supreme Court's recent decisions, and the broader implications for democracy. John encourages listeners to engage with the show, share their thoughts, and reflect on the importance of accountability in leadership.In the latter part of the episode, journalist Dave Troy joins to discuss the intersection of technology and politics, including the influence of AI and disinformation in shaping public perceptions. Together, they examine how social media platforms can manipulate information and how these dynamics play into the upcoming elections.Join John for a thought-provoking episode that challenges the narratives we've been fed, celebrates the resilience of truth in the face of chaos, and underscores the importance of staying informed and engaged in these critical times.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is the president actually trying to buy this election? You might be waiting for his latest promise of cash like you're still waiting for your DOGE check. Donald Trump gave a wild "midterm convention" speech promising every adult citizen a $5,000 "Trump dividend" if Republicans keep hold of Congress in the midterms. From the sheer desperation of the pitch to the legal reality that he can't just send out trillions of dollars without Congressional approval, we're questioning if this is just another fantasy or a straight-up attempt to rig the vote. Former federal prosecutor, now defense attorney, David Katz will stop by and we'll ask him if this so called dividend based on the outcome of an election is legal. We'll also look at word that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen is in line for a pardon. Then ,we are off to save the election with reporter Greg Palast. He just released a six-part series of short video reels on the latest in vote suppression tricks. His series is called "Jim Crow Reloaded" and you can find it at: SaveYourVote.org

Jon Herold spends a big chunk of Thursday's show wrestling honestly with Trump's viral midterm convention promise of a $5,000 dividend to every adult if Republicans keep the House, playing multiple clips of the speech and JD Vance's follow up defense, then pulls up an old Charlie Kirk clip calling Biden's student loan forgiveness "naked bribery" to press the question of consistency. He walks through the math on where the money would actually come from, argues it functions as future taxation either way, and challenges his audience not to become hypocrites just because it is their own team making the promise. Later he plays a wide ranging Aaron Rodgers interview clip covering political disillusionment and COVID era grievances that Jon finds surprisingly aligned with his own worldview. Other stories include DOJ letters warning states not to destroy 2024 election records, a Supreme Court order blocking Missouri's new congressional map, and fresh Florida grand jury subpoenas tied to the Russia collusion investigation. Sponsor reads and a lively chat session round out a dense Thursday show.

Donald Trump faces accusations of bribery after promising every adult $5,000 if they vote Republican - but Danny says he advised Rishi Sunak to present tax cuts to the British public in the same way.The political masterminds also consider whether Andy Burnham made a mistake in saying national security can't come at the expense of social security, whether the British government's sanctions on Israeli settlements are born from principle or political calculation, and at what point the voters notice sleaze.The book Danny refers to is The Rise of Reform by Nick Tyrone.

In an unexpected campaign move, President Trump promised to give every American adult a $5,000 "Trump dividend" check if Republicans keep control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.

A federal judge tells the Pentagon its Anthropic ban was “illegal and baseless” after Anthropic refused to remove safeguards that would allow Claude to be used for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Meanwhile, Sony and Warner are suing Anthropic over allegedly scraping and torrenting copyrighted music to train Claude, while a separate lawsuit accuses xAI of using child sexual abuse material in Grok training. Because nothing says “revolutionary technology” quite like a growing stack of lawsuits and federal judges.Elsewhere in the dystopian workplace, employees are increasingly fed up with AI, communities are pushing back against data centers, and one AI startup is fleeing that backlash for Saudi Arabia. Google's AI shopping mode is also accused of recommending products that cost significantly more than traditional search results, while Waymo and Zoox rack up injuries among test drivers. Tesla's Autopilot is implicated in another fatal crash, and FSD apparently still has a complicated relationship with freight trains. In the prediction-market casino, a federal appeals court sides with Nevada against Kalshi, while George Santos earns the platform's first lifetime ban for allegedly manipulating a market. And Meta's AI glasses are facing another privacy lawsuit, this time from the people who never bought the glasses but may have been recorded by them anyway.Plus, the new Twitter is back from the dead, complete with a $20 admission fee and an AI fact-checker named Vera; Sony would like you to understand that buying a digital game means you don't actually own the damn thing; Siri on the Apple Watch moves at approximately the speed of continental drift; JBL makes Wi-Fi speakers and we have Star Trek, Ted Lasso, Silo, Spaceballs, Wicked, The Traitors, The Gentlemen, and more.

BB28 Week 7 Exit Interview Watch the podcast on YouTube! Big Brother 28 fans, buckle up for a revealing exit interview with host Taran Armstrong and evicted houseguest Mallory. The fallout from Mallory's eviction has left the house reflecting on loyalty, backstabbing, and whether being an “Icon Junior” is a smart way to play. Mallory shares her side of a week full of strategizing, shifting loyalties, and unexpected betrayals. This episode digs into Mallory's experience leading up to eviction and her reaction to learning about the secret moves that shaped her fate. Taran asks why Mallory didn't win the crucial HoH, to which she admits nerves got the best of her, rather than a strategic throw. They break down Barrett and Drew's gameplay—how they relayed information to the veteran houseguests, calling themselves “Bear Rats” and even leaking alliance names like FAP. Mallory discusses the impact of the tight alliance between Drew, Barrett, and Devens, the so-called “father-sons” dynamic, and how Devens made everyone feel special to keep control. She also reacts to news of Dee's safety deal with Yash and the implications for the next HoH. Taran highlights Mallory's passionate presence in the house and her “Pipe Queen” nickname, as well as the audience's reaction to Drew's vote against her. Mallory shares what it meant to be cheered on by her favorite alumni after eviction. Mallory reveals she panicked during the HoH competition, rather than throwing it intentionally, and didn't know who she would have nominated Taran points out Barrett and Drew's season-long pattern of feeding the veterans house information, which led to Mallory’s distrust Mallory argues that playing for the vets—as Barrett and Drew did—makes it impossible to win, since no one would award them the final vote Taran explains Dee's bribe to Yash, which not only secured Dee's safety but also Devens' and Angela's, shifting future eviction plans Mallory reflects emotionally on her eviction, the highs of being named “Pipe Queen,” and the bittersweet support from alumni and fans With the veterans running the show and alliances growing tighter, will the remaining players take a stand—or will loyalty to the Icons cost them the game?
