The Democratic Party appears to be changing its tune on transgender athletes competing in women's sports.Politicians including Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, and James Talarico have recently used the language of fairness and safety when discussing women's sports. That represents a significant change from the rhetoric surrounding transgender rights and school sports during the Obama and Biden years.But is this a genuine change in conviction, or is it a political retreat?In this episode, I look at the history of the Democratic position on transgender issues, the growing public resistance to males competing in women's sports, and the political calculations surrounding the issue. I also examine the difference between voters motivated by deeply held convictions and voters who simply do not want political policies to produce consequences in their own families and communities.The larger question is whether the Democratic retreat represents a change in principle or simply a strategic pause until the political environment changes.Finally, I discuss why arguments about fairness and public opinion are not enough. If our understanding of men and women is ultimately grounded in God's created order, then political arguments cannot simply rest on whatever happens to be popular at a particular moment.00:00 Democrats and the Trans Sports Reversal02:18 Is This a Genuine Change of Heart?04:26 The Gender Debate and the Nature Argument07:20 Remembering the Biden and Obama Years09:24 Why Democrats Are Changing Their Message10:30 The Polling Problem for Transgender Sports12:30 Convictional Voters vs. Convenience Voters15:42 What Democrats Have Learned From the Backlash18:05 Why “Fairness” Is Their New Argument23:48 God's Rights, Nature, and the Foundation of SocietyJon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Pete Buttigieg, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation - known affectionately to many as “Mayor Pete" and already with early 2028 presidential buzz, traveled to North Texas over last weekend for the annual Johnson/Jordan Dinner to fire up the already hot-as-hell and motivated-as-hell Texas Democrats at the end of a scorching summer, in the most competitive position they've been in, going into a midterm in decades. Buttigieg spoke to elected officials, county chairs, precinct chairs, and activists, as well as our Executive Director Kathleen Thompson in a one-on-one, so stick around for that at the end!Follow Pete Buttigieg at https://www.instagram.com/pete.buttigieg/?hl=en.Thanks for listening!

On the Wednesday, September 23, 2026 broadcast of The Charlie James Show (Hour 1) on NewsTalk 98.9 WORD, host Charlie James opens by calling out Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's appearance at the United Nations General Assembly. James expresses outrage at Pezeshkian's portrayal of Iran as a victim despite the regime's human rights violations and state-sponsored terrorism, highlighting the walkout by the U.S. delegation and protesting crowds outside the UN building. The conversation transitions to clips of Marco Rubio detailing Iranian aggression and President Donald Trump's "Operation Economic Outcast" aimed at crippling Iran's economy and nuclear ambitions. Later in the hour, James turns his attention to the domestic political landscape, humorously speculating on the "shallow bench" of prospective 2028 Democratic presidential candidates, including Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg, while playing clips of Harris speaking at campaign events. Finally, the show tackles local South Carolina politics, addressing online rumors of a write-in campaign for Ralph Norman against Senate candidate Darlene Graham and Democrat Dr. Annie Andrews, warning conservative listeners about the political risks of splitting the vote.

Host Charlie James opens the first hour discussing the Iranian President's speech at the United Nations, highlighting the walkout by the U.S. delegation and protesting crowds outside. James and caller John critique Iran's domestic actions and state-sponsored terrorism while examining former President Donald Trump's "Operation Economic Outcast" policy aimed at financially isolating the regime. The discussion shifts to future political prospects for the 2028 election, poking fun at potential Democratic candidates including Vice President Kamala Harris, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pete Buttigieg. Hour 2 In the second hour, the show turns its focus to a health warning from university campuses regarding Kratom (kratom) and synthetic opioids following student deaths in Mississippi. Callers weigh in on gas station supplements, unregulated substances, and safety concerns. James also explores church-state relations and theological shifts in modern churches, reacting to controversial statements by progressive pastors regarding traditional Christian doctrines. Hour 3 The third hour centers heavily on foreign strategy and local South Carolina politics. James analyzes the strategic military importance of Donald Trump's expanded access deal regarding Greenland and Denmark. The conversation then moves to the South Carolina Senate race, debating the electoral consequences of conservative write-in campaigns for Ralph Norman versus supporting the Republican candidate Darlene Graham against Democrat Dr. Annie Andrews. Hour 4 The final hour tackles global healthcare systems, contrasting American medical care with Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program, drawing sharp criticism from callers and the host. The segment also highlights commentary on national defense responsibilities, congressional races, media coverage, and progressive policy proposals, concluding with an urgent call for voter turnout in upcoming elections.

Today's show is packed with political drama, media chaos and some truly bizarre moments. The Chicks break down the escalating fight over White House press access, the lawsuit and network response, JD Vance's defense of the administration, Ana Navarro's reaction on The View, and the broader debate over legacy media access.Plus, they dive into the fallout from the ICE shooting in Austin, protesters' “Kill Trump” graffiti, migrant boat landings in California, Pete Buttigieg's comments about the border, Gavin Newsom and fraud allegations, and Abdul El-Sayed's campaign answers.President Trump also met New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion, where the two discussed issues including affordability and housing despite their major political differences. Also on the show: JD Vance on gas prices, Trump's latest posts, Missouri's congressional maps, the Lindsay Clancy case, Candace Owens, Ms. Rachel controversy, Toronto protests, culture stories, TikToks and more.Join Zach's “Game Plan” webinar October 1st at 3:30 Pacific.

An ICE agent shoots a man in Texas, polls show Democrats have a strong lead over Republicans in the midterms, and Pete Buttigieg explains what should happen if Dems win back Congress.

A GOP senator leaned over and told Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) how to vote. The clerk still couldn't hear him. This is day three back for an 84-year-old senator after more than 90 days away — a fall, pneumonia, two months in the hospital, and a wheelchair through the Capitol. The Senate Agriculture Committee had already stalled the farm bill without him. On Wednesday, they needed that vote. So they brought him in, called his name, and the country watched Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) lean in with “no” while McConnell quietly said “aye,” then had to say it again louder because nobody caught it the first time. The bill cleared 12-11, party lines. The question is why Republicans keep pretending this is just a tough recovery and not a fitness problem. If a Democrat this frail needed a neighbor to coach a roll call, this network would not be told to look away. Farm policy, nutrition fights, and a chamber that already runs on people who should have gone home years ago — and the party of “common sense” wheels a man in because the math is 12-11. Pat also covered: The last pennies ever minted just sold at auction for $16.7 million. We killed the coin, then collectors paid a fortune for the funeral. The Fed just hiked rates for the first time since 2023 — a quarter point, to 3.75%–4%. Warsh did it unanimously. Is America ready for a gay president? Not as a slogan. As an actual ticket. The Wachowski brothers are now the Wachowski sisters. Hollywood called it progress. Everybody else called it a pattern. James Talarico's own minister, Rev. Babs Miller, got caught on camera saying the makeover is a lie.   Should a senator who has to be walked through a committee vote still be holding that seat? If this were the other party, would you still be told to show respect and move on?

On this episode of the South Carolina Lede for September 12, 2026: we continue our look at the Democrats in South Carolina ahead of the November election; we're continuing our time on the campaign trail with Dr. Annie Andrews and hear again from national figures like Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsom; and more!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.showThis week: the Lindsay Clancy murder trial jury hung 11-1, ending in a mistrial. We discuss how judges press juries to agree, and why they maybe shouldn't. And the Tate brothers — one of whom has possessed a fake Mexican passport in the name of “Vladimir Scorpius” — unsurprisingly failed to convince a judge to give them bail pending extradition. We also discuss UEFA, the European soccer body, seeking help from American courts with a criminal investigation of FIFA's effort to sell an equity stake in world soccer to a group led by Jared Kushner's brother, Josh Kushner.Free listeners get our discussion of those cases. Upgrade your subscription to hear about:* Indiana prosecutors have decided the woman who falsely accused Pete Buttigieg of being a risk to his children is too insane to face criminal charges.* Former ICE agent Christian Castro wasn't extradited to face criminal charges in Minnesota, but somewhat surprisingly, he's now under a federal indictment.* Trump won't get to revive his birthright citizenship restrictions, but he can proceed with building his ballroom, as Ken and I discuss who has the least plausible theory of aesthetic standing.* Marco Rubio faces a blow to his efforts to deport non-citizen left-wing student activists.* The alienation of affection lawsuit against former senator Kyrsten Sinema will proceed in a North Carolina federal court, to the apparent annoyance of the judge who will have to preside over it, and* Lebohang Morake, the guy who wrote and performed the Zulu chant at the start of The Lion King, owes legal fees because of a dumb lawsuit he filed against a comedian who offered an incorrect story of what the lyrics mean. Don't sue over jokes, people.

In this week's LGBTQ+ headlines: • Grindr has agreed to pay $35 million to settle a lawsuit over claims it shared users' sensitive data, including their HIV status. • Prosecutor declines to charge the mentally unstable women who filed a false child welfare complaint against Pete Buttigieg. • Out recording artist Matt Zarley drops his soaring new single, “TIME.” • I remember the late, great Dolly Parton and her enduring legacy of support for the LGBTQ community. All that and more in this episode of The Randy Report.

From politics to sports, business, and tech, the rich are breaking the rules, looking out for their friends, and still getting rewarded in the end—maybe with the help of a little trip to the White House with a POTUS gift in hand. For the midterms and beyond, Adam is bullish in his new book about the Dems' prospects to win on a grand scale and pass the kind of policies that help regular people. Part of the trick is cooling it on the purity tests over fraught issues like Israel. And in this Trump era, when accountability is so scarce, Pablo shows with his Pulitzer-winning reporting on the LA Clippers that consequences are still possible.

With just under two months until Election Day, Tim and Bill revisit the run-up to the midterms in 2006 and 1994, two major wave election cycles where the bottom just fell out from under the party in power. The 1994 blowout was more about the end of an era, while 2006 was about an unpopular war in the Middle East, a scandal, and a disappointed base. What do those wave elections suggest about the prospects for a big blue year in 2026? Plus: Do not miss either the war stories from Tim as a young Republican operative on the campaign trail or Clinton blaming Bill for helping to tank his health care reform plan.Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller for a special holiday pod.show notes: Tim in 2006 Bill in "Morning Shots" with his Truman-related advice for the Dems COME HANG WITH THE GANG—Sarah, Tim, JVL, Sam and friends—during our Bulwark LIVE: Good Fight Tour this October 16-20:

Jack Posobiec joins Tudor Dixon to sound the alarm over what he sees as the growing influence of socialism in America — and why conservatives may be fighting it the wrong way. Posobiec, senior editor at Human Events and co-author of Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them), discusses the new edition of the book and argues that socialist politics are gaining traction with younger and middle-class Americans frustrated by the economy, jobs, immigration, and the political establishment. Tudor and Posobiec examine the rise of socialist candidates across the country, including Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and discuss how economic resentment, institutional influence, and political loyalty can fuel revolutionary movements. They also take a closer look at El-Sayed’s political record and past views, the battle over the nuclear family, the legacy of COVID-era government power, political violence, Charlie Kirk, Luigi Mangione, and why Posobiec believes Americans need to understand the tactics historically used by communist and socialist movements before those ideas gain even more political power. Plus, Posobiec explains what history — from the Soviet Union and communist China to Eastern Europe — can teach Americans about revolutionary politics and why he believes the United States is facing a critical ideological battle. The new edition of Unhumans arrives September 29.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everybody in power announced something this week. Almost nobody showed the paperwork.Trump promised an economic D-Day against Iran, then his Treasury Secretary stood at a podium and declined to pull the trigger, saying out loud that he did not want to blow up the global financial system. Trump announced a beef deal to bring your grocery bill down, but there is no executive order, no named suppliers, and the window closes days after you vote. The Supreme Court handed him a win on mail ballots without ever ruling on whether the order is legal. Mark Zuckerberg published a manifesto about how communities benefit from data centers, and two days later, in the exact parish he named, regulators voted to keep his numbers sealed.Tonight we go looking for the paperwork.Full Follow the Money segment on the ballroom and the nuclear bunker already sitting under the White House, the Wall Street Journal reporting on Live Nation and the Kennedy Center, the Trump Organization filing trademarks on flight suits and shuttle buses, and the Taylor Farms donation timeline.

August 22, 2026On August 18, Sen Darline Graham of South Carolina explained that she is not that informed on national security - although senators are supposed to manage national security, Graham is a perfect representation of today's Republican Party, With little political experience, she is echoing Republican culture war talking points that worked for Trump in 2016, Trump told a rally in South Carolina that the election is really about him, Two former teachers endorsed by Democrats flipped the Sarasota Florida school board, The Republican Party tied itself to Trump and remains tied to him as he devotes his time to celebrating himself, Meanwhile the country is embroiled in a war in Iran, the economy is slowing, prices of food and gas are rising, and Americans are horrified by ICE and by Trump's corruption, Trump imposed a tariff on goods from Canada and Canada will impose retaliatory tariffs, The field is open for Democrats to redefine the nation's policies, Pete Buttigieg recorded a video assuring Americans who oppose the Trump administration that they are in the large majority.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joins POLITICO's Jonathan Martin in Traverse City, Michigan, to discuss the future of the Democratic Party and why he believes Democrats can't simply campaign on a return to the pre-Trump status quo. Buttigieg argues the party needs to "build what's next," weighs in on the Michigan Senate race, reflects on his time in the Biden administration, and shares his vision for institutional reform, AI, economic inequality and the road to 2028. Plus, he gives Jonathan a tour of his adopted hometown—including a stop for Traverse City's famous cherry ice cream. 

Two power players land in South Carolina today. President Trump is hitting the trail for Darline Graham after her rocky debate on Tuesday, while Pete Buttigieg stumps for Nancy Lacore. What are the larger picture stakes of these visits ahead of the midterms and leading into 2028? Then Playbook's Adam Wren and Megan Messerly invite POLITICO Albany bureau chief Nick Reisman to discuss other stories animating Washington: how the Knicks owner became a GOP power player, why puppies are now a campaign strategy, and Trump's latest side gig – IndyCar opening act.  For more news and analysis, subscribe to the Playbook newsletter: politico.com/playbook

The Democrat Party is not in crisis. It’s not fighting a civil war. It’s becoming exactly what it has spent years telling us it is: a big tent where socialism isn’t the fringe anymore. It’s the future. Socialist candidates are no longer insurgents trying to overthrow the Democrat establishment. Elected Democrats are embracing them. The radicals didn’t hijack the party. The party welcomed them in, handed them a microphone and called them mainstream. And Democrats have another massive problem: 2028. When Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are your front-runners for president, you stand no chance of winning. This is the Democrat bench. Four candidates carrying the same failed ideology that has driven the party further and further left. I’ll explain why each one could be a disaster at the ballot box. And if you want to see where this ideology leads, look no further than the WNBA. The league is creating a committee to wrestle with one of the most basic questions imaginable: what is a woman? The Women’s National Basketball Association needs help defining “woman.” You cannot make this up. On today’s Stinchfield, the socialist transformation of the Democrat Party is no longer coming. It’s here. And the insanity spreading through our institutions is what happens when common sense becomes controversial.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week, they discuss Wisconsin Dems at each other's throats over the governor's primary, how radical Pete Buttigieg's presidential agenda would be, the University of Michigan refusing to issue grades to first semester freshmen, and a Senate committee holding Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress.First, they focus on Wisconsin, where many Democrats are furious at outgoing Gov. Tony Evers for aggressively trying to manufacture his preferred outcome in the governor's primary. Meanwhile, online posts from 2019 and 2020 are emerging in which the socialist frontrunner, Francesca Hong, wanted to ban Thanksgiving and felt uncomfortable eating around "old white people."Next, they recoil as Pete Buttigieg tells Politico about his plans for radical change and incremental change if he's elected president in 2028. Jim and Greg detail just how insane Buttigieg's agenda is but point out the media will still call him a moderate because he doesn't yell much.Then, they roll their eyes as the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts says freshmen will not get letter grades their first semester in order to help "curb the mental health crisis." The policy, which is set to begin in Fall 2027, will apply to all students. Jim and Greg wonder how we got this fragile.Finally, Sen. Rand Paul and the Senate Governmental Affairs and Oversight Committee voted Thursday to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions last week. Jim says he understands why this is happening but doubts much will ultimately come from it in the courts. Greg wonders the same but still thinks it's the right move.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1Head to https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML and get a free AG1 Travel Case along with 7 free AG1 Travel Packs in your Welcome Kit when you sign up for your first AG1 subscription.  While supplies last.ZocDocYour health matters and taking care of yourself shouldn't be complicated.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including Pete Buttigieg joining Kamala Harris in calling for the Electoral College to be reconsidered or abolished ahead of the 2028 election; President Trump saying U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro "choked" after prosecutors dropped the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool case against former Olympian David Hearn and blamed a rushed, botched installation, leaving Pirro's job in jeopardy; and Tom Holland's muscular transformation for Spider-Man: Brand New Day fueling debate over Hollywood "physique inflation," male body image, and increasingly extreme fitness standards; and much more. #rubinreport #jeaninepirro #electoralcollege #spiderman #physiqueinflation #daverubin

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze the much closer-then-expected Michigan U.S. Senate primary win for socialist Abdul El-Sayed, how radical Pete Buttigieg's presidential agenda would be, Arizona's Democrat governor picking a Republican running mate, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom ranting about the end of democracy if Democrats don't win in November.First, they react to the very close win for El-Sayed over Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan. The polls predicted a blowout. The narrow win boosts the odds for GOP nominee Mike Rogers, who narrowly lost in 2024. But Greg warns that Republicans have to turn out in huge numbers for Rogers to win.Next, they recoil as Pete Buttigieg tells Politico about his plans for radical change and incremental change if he's elected president in 2028. Jim and Greg detail just how insane Buttigieg's agenda is but point out the media will still call him a moderate because he doesn't yell much.Then, they discuss Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs picking an anti-Trump Republican as her running mate. Jim explains why this is a sign of weakness for Hobbs. Jim and Greg also discuss whether Republicans will have an edge in border states like Texas and Arizona because people remember how bad illegal immigration was just a couple of years ago.Finally, they tell Gov. Newsom to calm down after he claimed Republicans killed the Constitution and democracy will die if his party does not win in November.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joins POLITICO's Jonathan Martin in Traverse City, Michigan, to discuss the future of the Democratic Party and why he believes Democrats can't simply campaign on a return to the pre-Trump status quo. Buttigieg argues the party needs to "build what's next," weighs in on the Michigan Senate race, reflects on his time in the Biden administration, and shares his vision for institutional reform, AI, economic inequality and the road to 2028. Plus, he gives Jonathan a tour of his adopted hometown—including a stop for Traverse City's famous cherry ice cream. 

John welcomes back Democratic strategist Lis Smith to discuss the intra-party factional civil war playing out in the Michigan Senate primary. Best known as the communications guru who helped turn Pete Buttigieg into a national figure, Smith served as a key adviser in the primary to state senator Mallory McMorrow, who left the race a month ago, giving Lis a prime, up-close perspective on the two remaining candidates—former public health official Abdul El-Sayed and congresswoman Haley Stevens—and why their heated, bitter, lavishly funded fight has turned into a microcosm of the burgeoning ideological battle among Democrats from coast to coast.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Buy Sophie Cunningham's Jersey! (HR 1, Seg 1) Bland white guy predictions (HR 1, Seg 2) Rut on the Truth about T and the military (HR 2, Seg 3) Steve Deace with Big Odyssey Thoughts (HR 3, Seg 3) Clay and Buck focused heavily on the growing cultural and political battle surrounding women's sports, transgender athlete participation, WNBA star Sophie Cunningham, and the future direction of the Democrat Party heading into the 2028 presidential election cycle. The hour opened with extensive discussion of Cunningham's comments defending the idea that biological males should not compete in women's sports. The hosts praised the WNBA player for refusing to backtrack under media pressure and highlighted her statements that women's athletic opportunities and protections under Title IX should be preserved. They contrasted Cunningham's position with arguments from progressive activists and former soccer star Megan Rapinoe, framing the debate as one of fairness, biological differences, women's rights, and the future of female athletics. The conversation also explored public reaction to Cunningham's comments, growing support from athletes and fans, and the broader cultural implications of high-profile female athletes speaking out on controversial issues. The hosts then turned to what they described as increasing political activism and ideological bias within the sports media. They criticized coverage surrounding Caitlin Clark, the WNBA, race, and identity politics, including commentary that linked Clark's popularity to broader social and racial debates. Clay and Buck argued that sports journalism has become increasingly politicized and used the discussion to examine how cultural issues influence public opinion and electoral politics. Throughout the segment, they emphasized the connection they see between winning cultural debates and winning elections, arguing that public support for figures like Sophie Cunningham reflects larger shifts in American opinion on gender, sports, and free expression. A major political segment focused on the Democratic Party's developing 2028 presidential primary landscape. Clay and Buck analyzed reports that Democratic leaders are debating whether South Carolina or Nevada should hold the first presidential contest, framing the dispute as a contest between key Democratic voting blocs, particularly Black and Hispanic voters. The hosts discussed how the primary calendar could shape potential candidacies from figures including Kamala Harris, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Gavin Newsom, Mark Kelly, Andy Beshear, Pete Buttigieg, Wes Moore, Josh Shapiro, and others. They examined the strategic advantages different states could provide various candidates and debated whether Democratic leaders are trying to influence the nomination process through primary scheduling decisions. The guys speak with former Navy SEAL David Rutherford, host of The David Rutherford Show and a member of the Clay & Buck Podcast Network. Rutherford first shared stories from a recent African safari in South Africa, including close encounters with lions, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, and other wildlife. The discussion covered the realities of safari tourism, animal behavior, and the expertise required to safely navigate the African wilderness. The interview then moved into military readiness, veteran health, and national security issues. Rutherford praised new Pentagon attention to what he described as "operator syndrome," a collection of physical and psychological health challenges experienced by military personnel exposed to years of combat deployments and high-intensity operations. He specifically discussed the Department of Defense’s growing focus on testosterone levels, endocrine health, hormone replacement therapy (TRT), mental health, sleep performance, and long-term care for active-duty service members and veterans. Rutherford argued that recognizing these issues could significantly improve military preparedness, recovery, and overall quality of life for warfighters. The hosts also examined escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, Middle East security concerns, military deployments, oil shipping routes, and potential military strategy. Rutherford discussed threats to American interests in the region, attacks on U.S. installations, instability surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, and the possibility of future ground operations in Iran. The conversation explored strategic military options, force deployment considerations, and the political implications of an expanded conflict as the country approaches the midterm election cycle. Clay and Buck also discussed how ongoing wars and overseas military engagements could influence voter attitudes and congressional races. Steve Deace joined the show to discuss Iowa politics, the state’s upcoming statewide elections, and the political environment heading into future campaign cycles. Deace analyzed the strength of Democratic candidates in Iowa, Republican prospects, voter registration trends, and the changing electoral landscape. The conversation then turned to entertainment and culture, focusing heavily on Christopher Nolan’s film adaptation of The Odyssey. Deace offered a sharply critical review of the movie, arguing that it deviates significantly from the original source material and reflects broader trends in Hollywood storytelling. The hosts discussed movie production, cultural messaging in entertainment, sound design issues in modern filmmaking, and the opportunity they believe exists for filmmakers to create stories aimed at mass audiences without overt political messaging. The discussion expanded into Hollywood, conservative media, independent filmmaking, storytelling, faith-based entertainment, cultural influence, and audience demand for non-political content. Deace argued that many successful modern films focus too heavily on ideological objectives rather than compelling storytelling. Clay and Buck agreed, suggesting that there is significant market demand for films that prioritize strong narratives over political agendas. They explored how storytelling shapes culture and the role entertainment can play in influencing public opinion. The hosts returned to the subject of Sophie Cunningham, Caitlin Clark, women’s sports, and transgender athlete policies, with Deace praising Cunningham’s refusal to retreat from her position. He argued that standing by one’s beliefs in the face of organized criticism is just as significant as the position itself. The group also analyzed Caitlin Clark’s unique impact on professional basketball, her historic popularity, and the complicated relationship between her fan base and portions of the sports media establishment.
