Podcast appearances and mentions of Pete Buttigieg

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they tackle President Trump saying a deal with Iran is imminent, the hyperbolic venting of longtime CBS reporters over the shakeup at 60 Minutes, foreigners being blown away in awe at the USA as they come for the World Cup, and Pete Buttigieg's weak argument for deciding presidential elections with a national popular vote.First, they react to President Trump calling off intense airstrikes and an invasion of Kharg Island because a peace deal with Iran is imminent. Iran is also releasing it's version of the agreement, which almost assuredly does not resemble the actual negotiations. This is a ruse Tehran has tried before. But are we actually close to a deal?Next, they laugh as longtime CBS reporter and 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl calls Bari Weiss' shakeup at the network "by far the worst experience I've been involved in, or even witnessed." Citing a Washington Free Beacon story, Jim and Greg remind Stahl of some of the far more troubling stories she has done and how dramatic the legacy media get over changes they don't like.Then, they relish the stories of foreigners coming to the U.S. for the World Cup and gushing about how much they love the country, our people, and what we have to offer. It's a good reminder of how good we have it when others see it for the first time.Finally, they pick apart Pete Buttigieg's argument for scrapping the Electoral College for a national popular vote for president. Buttigieg says it would make every state matter. Jim and Greg explain why the Electoral College makes far more sense - including reasons we just witnessed this month.Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinGet 15% off OneSkin with code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3MLPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.Fast Growing TreesBetter plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.New episodes every weekday.

Pete Buttigieg sat down for a friendly interview and told Republicans exactly what Democrats plan to do to the Supreme Court — pack it from 9 to 13 justices, no constitutional amendment required, just a Senate majority. He calls it a "rogue Supreme Court," spins the gerrymandering fight as a race war, and Larry O'Connor takes it all apart fact by fact. Plus Raphael Warnock claims the Court "committed violence," Ro Khanna pushes the same 13-justice plan, and a blunt warning to John Thune. Featuring Pete Buttigieg, Raphael Warnock and Ro Khanna.

The Marc Cox Morning Show closes strong with an hour that covers the biggest threats to your vote, your values, and your wallet. Marc dismantles California's ballot harvesting machine piece by piece — explaining how a socialist polling at 21% somehow pulled 40% of post-election-day votes and why the Supreme Court may finally put a stop to it. Then it's Canada criminalizing scripture, Cardinals Pride Night backlash, and Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen being shamed for refusing to let his faith take a back seat to a rainbow hat. Ryan Wiggins brings the 2028 Democrat field into focus — Kamala's still leading, Pete Buttigieg has a beard now, and Joe Biden just wandered into a press conference — and explains why Republicans hold all the cards heading into the next census cycle. Bob and Tammy Kershaw from the Retirement Advisory Group close the show with the conversation every St. Louis family near retirement needs to have, and an invitation to a free event that could protect everything you've worked for. Four hours of truth, common sense, and zero apologies — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show.

If this is the best the Democrat Party can offer in 2028, conservatives should sleep just fine. Ryan Wiggins of Wiggins America joins the Marc Cox Morning Show in studio to break down the latest polling on the Democrat 2028 presidential field — and it is a gift. Kamala Harris is still leading the pack at 27%, Gavin Newsom is running California into the ground from second place, and Pete Buttigieg apparently has a beard now. Ryan and Marc dig into why the census battle in 2030 may be the most important political fight of the decade, how Republican population growth in red states is quietly reshaping the electoral map, and why the Democrats desperately need an Obama-type figure they simply don't have. Plus, Bernie Sanders drops a hint that has everyone wondering, and Joe Biden wanders into Jill's press conference to ask the world's strangest question. The 2028 race is shaping up to be must-see television.

Tara breaks down the political chaos erupting over redistricting battles as Democrats explode in anger after losing long-protected congressional advantages. The show dives into accusations of hypocrisy, debates over the Voting Rights Act, claims of activist court interference, and the growing fight over political power in southern states. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show focuses on the explosive fallout from ongoing redistricting battles and what Tara describes as a full-scale Democrat “temper tantrum” inside state legislatures. Tara recounts hearing from lawmakers who spent hours trapped in legislative sessions listening to heated protests, accusations of racism, and procedural standoffs as debates over congressional district maps intensified. The conversation centers on whether congressional districts should be drawn strictly by population or whether race-based considerations should continue playing a role in map drawing. The episode examines the history of Voting Rights Act litigation, activist court rulings from the 1980s, and claims that Republicans in southern states were forced for decades to draw districts designed to elect Democrats. Tara argues that Democrats are furious because those legal protections are now being challenged or reversed. Tara and Lee also discuss accusations of hypocrisy involving heavily Democrat-controlled northern states that have few or no Republican congressional districts despite substantial Republican vote totals. The conversation touches on voter ID debates, black voter support trends, and comments from political figures including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Pete Buttigieg. The episode frames the current redistricting fight as part of a broader national battle over representation, election law, race, and political power. KEY TOPICS Redistricting battles in state legislatures Congressional district maps and representation Voting Rights Act debates Claims of activist court overreach Republican vs. Democrat districting strategies Voter ID controversies Black voter trends and party shifts Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comments on southern states Pete Buttigieg questioned on district maps Political power struggles in Congress

On this week's episode, Tim talks about a group of center-left Democrats trying to make waves as partisanship continues to dominate the electorate. His guests are Debbie Cox Bultan, CEO of NewDEAL, and Canton Mayor Zeb Smathers. The national group held a conference in Raleigh and stopped by while in town. NewDEAL is a network of center-left elected leaders who are self-described pragmatists focusing on expanding opportunity and spurring growth. Alums of the group include Pete Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro and Stacey Abrams.

Meghan McCain and Miranda Wilkins are joined by Rachel Campos-Duffy and Mo Kelly for a wide-ranging conversation on California politics, Los Angeles dysfunction, media narratives, and the growing frustration with both political parties. Rachel Campos-Duffy opens up about her family's cross-country road trip project celebrating America's 250th anniversary, her husband Sean Duffy's work as Transportation Secretary, and why she believes Pete Buttigieg left behind a transportation disaster. Plus, Mo Kelly breaks down why Spencer Pratt's surprising mayoral campaign is getting national attention, why Karen Bass is still politically viable despite criticism, and why Los Angeles voters may still stick with familiar leadership even as frustration grows. Also in this episode: • Virginia redistricting drama and gerrymandering fights • AOC and 2028 presidential speculation • California's homelessness crisis • Why national politics are reshaping local races • TMZ targeting politicians on vacation during the TSA mess • Grand Canyon family road trips and American nostalgia • Why Meghan says modern politics feels completely broken Learn more about your ad choices.

The Supreme Court just gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais, then broke its own 32-day procedural rule to enforce that ruling mid-election with over 100,000 Louisiana ballots already cast. Justice Jackson called the move "chaos" with "a strong political undercurrent." This episode connects the dots between Callais and the gerrymandering cascade now sweeping Indiana, Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama, and beyond, where MAGA Republicans are redrawing maps to win power they can't earn at the ballot box, and how California and Virginia tried referendums to fight back (only one succeeded). We then break down Trump's "deal or bomb" ultimatum to Iran and the one-page memo he claims is close to signing. The U.S. Navy is interdicting Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices have spiked since February, and the Iran war fuel spike is the through-line that just killed Spirit Airlines, which announced an orderly wind-down of operations on May 2 and eliminated 17,000 jobs. We unpack the political blame war (Bessent and Duffy point at Warren, Buttigieg, and the Biden DOJ; Warren and Stoller point at Trump's Iran war) and the actual antitrust question underneath: neo-Brandeisian theory versus the Chicago School consensus. In the Breakdown in the Public segment, we cover AI emotional manipulation and the rise of "AI psychosis," including the case of Soon Hourican, a man in his 50s in Northern Ireland whose Grok chatbot "Ani" convinced him he was being surveilled and led him to arm himself with a knife and a hammer. The BBC documented 14 similar cases across 6 countries. Jonathan Gavalas of Jupiter, Florida died by suicide after his Google Gemini chatbot claimed to be his wife. His family is suing Google. Bipartisan supermajorities (74 to 78 percent in the Human Statement national survey) want AI labels, safety testing, and accountability. Neither party is moving on it. Trump tried to deregulate AI through the One Big Beautiful Bill, then through executive order. Then we dig into the 2026 Ohio U.S. Senate race: Jon Husted versus Sherrod Brown, the cleanest test in the country for whether Ohio is genuinely red now or whether 2024 was a Trump-driven anomaly. We cover Brown's tailwinds (Trump's economic approval at 40 percent, the Callais fallout potentially energizing Democratic turnout), his headwinds (a smaller union-Democrat coalition, Ohio's redrawn map), and the First Energy / HB6 connections that may haunt Husted's campaign. Sherrod Brown, you have an open invite to come on the show. We close with three good news stories the mainstream media isn't covering enough: clean energy passing coal as the world's largest electricity source for the first time since 1919 (per Ember's 2025 review and the IEA's 2026 Global Energy Review), the UCL bowel cancer trial showing zero relapses after 33 months using pembrolizumab pre-surgery, and the North Atlantic right whale baby boom that proves conservation policy works when implemented seriously across borders. Tonight's through-line: the polls keep saying voters want guardrails. The people in power keep finding ways around them. From voting maps to AI rules to who gets prosecuted, this is the pattern we connect tonight.

With host Scott Hennen still "frolicking" through Norway, North Dakota District 27 Representative Greg Steeman wraps up his three-day guest hosting stint with a heavy-hitting finale. This episode serves as a masterclass in state governance, featuring a rare "trifecta" of North Dakota leadership: Governor Kelly Armstrong, Higher Education Commissioner Brent Sanford, and State Treasurer Thomas Beadle. The conversation moves from the "unhinged" state of modern political discourse to the nuts and bolts of North Dakota's financial future. Governor Armstrong calls in from the site of the new Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora to discuss responsible budgeting and the state's "sovereign wealth." Meanwhile, we dive into the future of the workforce with Brent Sanford, explore the transparency of the State Treasurer's office with Thomas Beadle, and get a reality check on the global economy and precious metals from landmark expert David Fisher. It's a mix of pragmatic policy, Bob Seger birthday tributes, and the truth about why North Dakota is preparing for the "retirement" of its oil boom.

Pete Buttigieg, former secretary of transportation and former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, talks with Jen Psaki about the burden of Donald Trump on Republican candidates, even in red states, and how politicians are recalibrating their approach to voters as Donald Trump loses both relevance and any popularity he once enjoyed. Dr. Amy Acton, Democratic candidate for governor of Ohio, talks with Jen about what she's hearing from voters in her state. Jen Psaki takes a closer look at how Donald Trump's vanity project ballroom, which no one asked for, has ballooned in cost and has now become a taxpayer burden. And Chedrick Greene, Democratic candidate for Michigan State Senate District 35, joins Jen to talk about his approach to campaigning and the stakes of his election.

Jonny and Heather dive into a series of headaches for the LGBTQ+ community, starting with the DOJ's investigation of 36 school districts in Illinois for teaching gender ideology. Connecting that story to many others in the news lately, they pursue the authoritarian tactic of manufacturing problems so that the supreme leader can provide solutions tat serve to consolidate power. They examine a host of recent stories impacting LGBTQ+ communities that are examples of unnecessary solutions for made up problems. 

Patrick Bet-David and the panel torch Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, and Merrick Garland after Spirit Airlines shuts down, arguing Biden's DOJ killed a JetBlue merger that could have saved 15,000 jobs, lowered fares, and kept a real low‑cost competitor in the sky.

Merger Blocked by Antitrust Action: JetBlue offered $3.8 billion to acquire Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, unions, and both companies supported the merger. The DOJ and Department of Transportation, urged by Elizabeth Warren and supported by Buttigieg and Biden, sued to stop it. A federal judge blocked the merger in January 2024. Consequences Claimed: Spirit declared bankruptcy and shut down, leading to: ~17,000 direct job losses Estimated 40,000+ indirect jobs affected Loss of service to dozens of smaller cities Reduced airline competition and higher fares on former Spirit routes (examples cited include increases of 15–66%). Critique of Antitrust Reasoning: Speakers argue antitrust law should protect consumers, not competitors. They claim the DOJ incorrectly defined the market as “ultra‑low‑cost airlines” instead of the broader airline market, making Spirit and JetBlue appear dominant when they were actually small players. They assert the decision strengthened the Big Four airlines (American, Delta, United, Southwest), which already control ~75–80% of the market. Rebuttal to Alternative Explanations: Democrats are criticized for blaming Spirit’s failure on fuel price increases or Trump-era policies. The speakers argue fuel price volatility affects all airlines and that Spirit would have been better positioned to withstand it with the merger funds. Internal Democratic Dissent: A Biden White House policy official publicly questioned whether blocking the merger was the right decision, though later softened the statement—used as evidence of internal doubts. Government Bailout Rejected: A proposed $500M government bailout (for 90% ownership) was discussed but rejected. The speakers strongly oppose government ownership of airlines, labeling it socialism and economically incompetent. Broader Ideological Argument: The collapse is framed as an example of government overreach, poor understanding of business, and ideological decision-making harming workers and consumers. The episode is used to argue that free‑market competition—not government control—is essential to lower prices and innovation. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy just went off on the Biden administration and Pete Buttigieg for the shocking collapse of Spirit Airlines. Spirit Airlines officially shut down operations after 34 years, leaving passengers stranded and 17,000 workers without jobs. Duffy made it crystal clear on national TV: “Spirit tried to merge with JetBlue. The Joe Biden-Pete Buttigieg administration and DOJ tanked that deal. Immediately after that, they filed for bankruptcy.” This wasn't just bad luck — it was the predictable result of Biden-era policies that prioritized ideology over American jobs and affordable travel. While the Trump administration tried to step in with support, the damage from the previous four years was already done. We also cover: Senator John Fetterman's approval rating is NOT good.
