President Trump abruptly ended an on‑camera interview with NBC's Kristen Welker after a heated back‑and‑forth about his claims that the 2020 election was “rigged” and assertions of voting problems in California's recent primary. The exchange escalated when Welker pressed Trump for evidence. He accused her and major networks of being “crooked,” removed his mic, and left, later agreeing to a second interview. The segment also touched on his defense of a proposed roughly $1.8 billion fund to compensate allies (which the Justice Department said would not move forward) and his remarks about the possibility of war and U.S. elections. Was Trump right to walk out or is this just another moment where he can't or doesn't want to answer a question and lashes out?

California stands at a crossroads. In this powerful conversation, Lewis Herms joins Michael Jaco to discuss the growing frustration millions of Californians feel over crime, economic collapse, homelessness, rising costs, government overreach, border concerns, corruption, and what many believe has become the systematic destruction of one of America's most important states. Running for California Governor, Lewis Herms shares his vision for restoring safety, accountability, economic stability, constitutional freedoms, and common-sense leadership back to California. The discussion explores why so many residents are fleeing the state, why trust in political leadership continues collapsing, and how decades of policies have contributed to rising instability across major cities and communities. Lewis speaks directly about the need to rebuild California from the ground up by empowering citizens, supporting law enforcement, protecting families, strengthening local economies, and ending policies that many believe have weakened public safety and personal freedom. Michael and Lewis also discuss the larger national implications of California's future, emphasizing that what happens in California often impacts the rest of the country culturally, economically, politically, and technologically. The deeper this conversation goes, the more it becomes about reclaiming hope, restoring integrity, and reminding people that change only happens when citizens become actively involved instead of remaining silent. Lewis Herms positions himself as a candidate focused on action, transparency, constitutional rights, and putting Californians first instead of serving entrenched political interests. This is not just a campaign conversation. It's a call for Californians to stand up, get involved, and help shape the future direction of the state before the damage becomes irreversible. California can recover. But people must decide they are willing to fight for it.

California is at a breaking point. Newsom's corruption, crime, homelessness, immigration, skyrocketing taxes, the insurance crisis, devastating wildfires, failing infrastructure, and a growing exodus of residents have many Californians asking the same question: How did the Golden State get here? Jillian Michaels sits down with Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, one of the leading candidates in the 2026 California Governor's race, to discuss the policies he says have pushed California into decline—and his plan to reverse course. The conversation dives into Bianco's critiques of fellow gubernatorial candidates Xavier Becerra, Katie Porter, and Tom Steyer, tackling issues ranging from healthcare for undocumented immigrants and gender policy to immigration enforcement, homelessness spending, and government accountability. Sheriff Bianco pulls no punches as he takes on Governor Gavin Newsom's legacy, California's homelessness crisis, sanctuary state policies, Proposition 36, public safety, immigration, wildfire prevention, the California insurance collapse, rising crime rates, and the state's controversial tax policies—including his proposal to eliminate California's state income tax. Jillian and Sheriff Bianco examine why so many residents and businesses are leaving California, whether the state's one-party political system is driving institutional failure, and what it would take to restore affordability, public safety, and opportunity for Californians across the political spectrum. And, Bianco weighs in on Spencer Pratt's chance at winning Los Angeles' Mayoral race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, we've been looking at the rise of "generational change candidates" in Democratic primaries. That's a politician who has positioned themselves as a fresh, modern alternative to long-term incumbents.

Well, Prop 50, the ballot measure voters passed in November. has opened up an opportunity for one of those change candidates to emerge in the race for Congressional District 3, which stretches from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the situation in New York City, where Jews, synagogues, and Jewish neighborhoods face violent attacks, hounding, and harassment, is a disaster and disgrace—but it is occurring across the entire country. The ruling class is to blame, particularly intensified under the Biden administration, with open borders, efforts to undermine ICE and border patrol, and the failure to remove threats. Urgent action is required: take every legal and law enforcement step to deport imams and phony scholars, shut down groups like CAIR, and defund and clean out colleges and universities. Councilwoman Vickie Paladino calls in and condemns the organized antisemitic violence and calls for a City Council investigation into the funding and organizers. Also, one of the reasons we have so-called forever wars is that we do not go to war in pursue absolute victories, which means the elimination of regimes. Indeed, those who talk about forever wars also insist that we not seek total victories, criticizing "regime change," and often confusing regime change with democracy projects. Later, California Governor candidate Steve Hilton calls in to give an update on the race. After 16 years of one-party rule, dissatisfaction is rising, as the wrong-track number has climbed from the mid-to-high 40s in 2022 to the mid-to-high 50s today, signaling strong demand for change. Hilton is campaigning on a straightforward platform focused on working-class issues, small business, tax cuts, affordable housing, and $3 gas. With ballots already mailed for a month of early voting, he urges immediate voting to capitalize on the opportunity. Finally, the Daily Mail is detailing the horrors of October 7, 2023, describing monstrous acts including gang rapes so brutal that victims' pelvic bones broke, mass shootings causing effective decapitations, and dismemberment of bodies. This was deliberate, planned violence against innocent people. Remember that next time someone cries over Israel defending itself against Hamas or Hezbollah thugs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Republicans, the political ad game just got flipped upside down by AI — and this Spencer Pratt viral video proves it. If you're fed up with polished Democrat attack ads funded by big money, you NEED to watch this. AI is letting outsiders create blockbuster-level campaign videos that actually reach voters and cut through the noise. We dive into the growing debate: Is AI the ultimate tool for conservatives to fight back against the establishment media and billionaire-backed campaigns? Or does it open the door to dangerous manipulation? You'll see the real difference between fun, over-the-top AI ads like Pratt's and the deceptive deepfakes that actually change what politicians say. We also cover: Trump on state of the ceasefire with Iran.  Update on the hantavirus.  Trump TV show appearance compilation.  What is UVU hiding from the Charlie Kirk assassination?  Pete Hegseth wants military personnel to return. This is the future of conservative messaging — creative, cost-effective, and impossible to ignore.

It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on The Majority Report On today's program: It's election day in the United Kingdom, and the British media is using the stabbing of two Jewish men by a mentally ill man from Somalia — who also stabbed a Muslim man, though that detail rarely seems to get mentioned — as part of a coordinated smear campaign against Green Party leader Zack Polanski. Zack Polanski joins disgraced Epstein associate Lord Mandelson's best friend, Trevor Phillips, on Sky News. Phillips tries to claim that Polanski — who is Jewish — is essentially an antisemite in a baby-brained segment. The fallout from the smear campaign against Polanski appears to be having a real impact on his polling, with his unfavourability ratings jumping eight points since the controversy began. Mohammad Ali Shabani, Journalist and Editor of Amwaj.Media, a platform focusing on Iran, Iraq and the GCC countries, joins Emma for an update on the ongoing war in Iran. Randy Villegas, candidate for in California's 22nd district joins the program to discuss his campaign and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee organizing against him in the primary. In the Fun Half Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join the show. Real estate billionaire, Steve Roth claims that the slogan "tax the rich" is akin to a racial slur. Billionaire Ken Griffin says he was "terrified" by getting called out by name by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani in his Pied-a-Terre tax proposal video. Billionaire and California Governor candidate Tom Steyer says the proposed billionaire tax in CA does not go far enough and advocates for closing a corporate real estate tax loop that would raise even more money for areas not helped out by the billionaire's tax. Massively popular AM talk show host, Hugh Hewitt suggests that it is Israel's interest to act in their own interests to blow up the ceasefire deal with Iran. Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett says that the economy is hitting on all cylinders, citing that credit card spending is through the roof as proof. National dumbass Van Jones pretends to not understand why Democrats are demanding full disclosure on Israel's nuclear capabilities.   All that and more.

Newt talks with Carl DeMaio, California State Assemblymember, representing District 75, and Chairman of Reform California. They discuss the California governor’s race and the “top two” primary election system. DeMaio describes the risk that Republican candidates may face by potentially being shut out of the general election if no Republican candidates receive a 35% share of the primary vote. After candidate Eric Swalwell dropped out of the race, establishment Democrats are coalescing their support around Xavier Becerra, while billionaire Tom Steyer continues to spend millions of his own money on his campaign. DeMaio urges Republicans to vote for the Republican candidate that is polling the highest to secure a position in the runoff election. They also discuss the details of the California Voter ID Initiative; a proposed 2026 constitutional amendment DeMaio co-authored that would require voter identification and citizenship verification in all future California state elections.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eric Swalwell suspended his campaign for governor of California following multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault. On this week's On the Media, how two social media stars worked to make these allegations public. Plus, what it will take for Hungary to rebuild a robust independent press after years of crackdowns under Orban.  [01:00] Brooke speaks with Melanie Mason, POLITICO's California Bureau Chief, to trace the “whisper network,” involving an education policy influencer with over 1.4 million followers, that exposed California Rep. Eric Swalwell's history of sexual assault and resulted in his resignation from Congress and exit from the California gubernatorial race. Plus, what this reckoning reveals about the legacy of #MeToo.   [18:33] Host Brooke Gladstone sat down with Ivan Nagy, a political journalist and Delacorte Fellow at the Columbia Journalism Review from Hungary, days before the Hungarian election to discuss covering the lead-up, and the lasting damage inflicted on the press by Viktor Orban that will inevitably carry over into the next administration.  [34:50] Brooke calls up Ivan Nagy again after Hungary's election last weekend to discuss what it was like on the ground in the aftermath of Peter Magyar's historic win over Viktor Orban, and what the new Prime Minister could mean for the media.  Further reading / watching: “‘If Someone Lit Up a Match, the Place Would Explode,'” by Ivan L.
