Podcasts about candidates

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down growing tensions on the right following a heated Turning Point USA event, Rep. Elise Stefanik's abrupt exit from the New York governor's race, and a Michigan U.S. Senate candidate fantasizing about assaulting U.S. Supreme Court justices.First, they react to Ben Shapiro's speech on how politics and journalism should be conducted, including his sharp criticism of Tucker Carlson for platforming figures like Nick Fuentes without challenging their views. Carlson then returned verbal fire and accused his critics of trying to divide people. Jim says the right is not well-served by tolerating conspiracy theories and playing footsie with anti-Semitism.Next, they dig into why New York Rep. Elise Stefanik decided to pull the plug on her campaign for governor. They also examine how the year started with President Trump choosing Stefanik to be his ambassador to the United Nations and ended with Trump refusing to endorse her run for governor.Finally, they get a glimpse of another unhinged Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Michigan, as State Senator Mallory McMorrow says she heard Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh attended a tailgate at her alma mater of Notre Dame University. McMorrow suggests she would have thrown beer in their faces. But the rest of the Democrats running are also really bad.Please visit our great sponsors:Go to https://OmahaSteaks.com and use code 3ML at checkout for an extra $35 off. Minimum purchase may apply.

Businessman, venture capitalist and political strategist Bradley Tusk joins Chuck Todd for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership fatigue, the erosion of America’s rule of law, and the long-term consequences of the Trump era. Tusk argues that many of today’s institutional crises—from weakened economic pillars to America’s retreat from global leadership—are inseparable from Trump’s choices, and that “pay-to-play” politics may linger even after he’s gone. The discussion also explores capitalism’s successes and excesses, the growing public unease around AI, and why uneven, state-by-state regulation is both inefficient and, at times, a necessary laboratory for innovation. The conversation then turns to the future: how AI-driven inequality could spark massive political upheaval, why crypto only works with regulation, and whether mobile voting could dramatically reshape democracy by boosting participation and accountability. Tusk weighs the risks of low-information turnout, the challenges of selling reform in rural America, and why JD Vance may be the biggest wildcard in restoring the rule of law. The episode closes with reflections on missed turning points in presidential history, the changing nature of political communication, and what it will take for candidates in 2028 to be truly battle-tested for the moment ahead.

Chuck Todd breaks down Donald Trump’s prime-time address to the nation, arguing that it functioned less as a governing update and more as a rapid-fire campaign rally designed to rehab Trump’s political image. Todd explains how the speech sidestepped real policy challenges, leaned heavily into grievance, and once again spoke almost exclusively to Trump’s base—underscoring what he sees as the former president’s biggest weakness: a profound lack of self-awareness. From healthcare and energy costs to AI and economic anxiety, the episode examines how Trump’s fixation on personal slights and image management continues to shape his priorities, even as frustration grows among Republicans and voters alike who are still waiting for results instead of rhetoric. Then, businessman, venture capitalist and political strategist Bradley Tusk joins Chuck Todd for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership fatigue, the erosion of America’s rule of law, and the long-term consequences of the Trump era. Tusk argues that many of today’s institutional crises—from weakened economic pillars to America’s retreat from global leadership—are inseparable from Trump’s choices, and that “pay-to-play” politics may linger even after he’s gone. The discussion also explores capitalism’s successes and excesses, the growing public unease around AI, and why uneven, state-by-state regulation is both inefficient and, at times, a necessary laboratory for innovation.

Tusk weighs the risks of low-information turnout, the challenges of selling reform in rural America, and why JD Vance may be the biggest wildcard in restoring the rule of law. The episode closes with reflections on missed turning points in presidential history, the changing nature of political communication, and what it will take for candidates in 2028 to be truly battle-tested for the moment ahead.

Ghosting has become a two-way street in today's hiring world. Job seekers feel like recruiters disappear after they send in their application or even after a face-to-face interview. Recruiters, on the other hand, feel that applicants vanish just as often, not showing up for interviews, not returning calls, or even skipping their first day after completing the entire onboarding process. And at the same time, recruiters are overwhelmed with applicants who apply for jobs they're not qualified for or who have no experience in the industry at all.  In our light industrial, warehousing, and logistics sectors, I feel this problem is amplified. These environments move fast. Productivity, shipping schedules, and labor shortages collide with the reality of high turnover, long shifts, and job seekers searching for stability. Somewhere in the middle of all that, communication breaks down, and both sides are feeling frustrated.  I'm Marty with Warehouse and Operations as a Career and today I want to take a look at these frustrations and talk about what’s going on and what both sides could do a little differently.  I hear from applicants that Recruiters don't care about me. When an applicant submits a resume or fills out an online application, they often attach hope to it. They picture the job, the schedule, the pay, and what it would mean for their family. When they don't hear back quickly, or at all, it can feel personal. One person shared with me that there are too many automated systems, and not enough real interaction.  I'd have to agree that most companies now rely on automated applicant tracking systems. These systems filter applications, sort resumes, and may even generate a generic we've received your application email. The problem is that applicants crave human feedback. When all they get is an automated message and no follow-up, they assume they've been ignored. And when they do talk to someone, only to never hear back again, it feels like being dismissed all over again.  It's important to remember the fast pace of the industry though. Warehousing and manufacturing don't slow down. Recruiters are juggling open orders, client requests, resignations, no-shows, and internal deadlines, all at the same time. When 100 people apply for a forklift job, and only 12 actually meet the minimum requirements, it's simply not feasible to call each of the remaining 88 applicants personally to explain why they are not qualified.  Applicants interpret this as ghosting, but, or I feel, in most cases it's not intentional. It's more of a bandwidth issue.  I recently had a hiring agent tell me that applicants don't always realize they don't meet the requirements. And I think this is an uncomfortable truth, but an important one.  Many applicants may believe, If I apply, maybe they'll call and train me. Or I've been in a warehouse before, so I can drive a forklift or pick it up really quick, I'm a fast learner. Or maybe they could be thinking, I'm sure they'll make an exception.  I'm certain recruiters wish they could take more chances, but safety regulations, productivity metrics, and client expectations don't allow it. Some jobs simply require knowledge, certifications, or experience that the applicant doesn’t have yet.  When an applicant assumes they're qualified and the recruiter sees clearly that they are not, the communication gap widens, and silence can feel like disrespect.  Looking for work is stressful. You may have seen our webinar Looking for work is hard work. When a candidate feels rejected, especially without explanation, it hits hard. They may assume they weren't good enough. Their experience isn't valuable. And that recruiters don't care. And with that mindset, even small delays can feel like we're being ghosted.  And the recruiter's perspective is that applicants disappear just as much, sometimes more! Recruiters feel the ghosting too, and in many cases, the impact is heavier on them because it affects production, client expectations, and the entire shift lineup. Even their pay, or commission.   Let’s see, I had a list of what a recruiter friend called her pain points. Here it is. Ok, number 1, The No-Call, No-Show Interview. This is one of the biggest frustrations recruiters faces. They schedule interviews, send reminders, follow up with calls and texts and then the applicant simply doesn't show up. No message, no explanation. Sometimes the recruiter learns the applicant accepted a competing offer. Sometimes they don't find out anything at all.  Number 2. is dropping out after the job offer. Even after a successful interview and onboarding, applicants stop answering calls. They disappear after receiving the offer. They accept the job but then take a different offer with a higher pay rate. Recruiters understand, people need to do what's best for themselves and their families. But when deadlines are tight and clients are waiting, this ghosting creates real operational challenges. A phone call could go a long way. I always think about not burning bridges. Of course I'm going to take the better job, but who knows. I may need to reach back out to this recruiter someday!  Alright, number 3. The most painful ghosting, not showing up on the first day. Remember or recent episode titled NCNS? Anyway, this one is devastating for clients and recruiters. After investing time, energy, paperwork, background checks, and orientation, the applicant simply does not show. And many never call to explain why.  In the light industrial field, where schedules are built tightly around shift needs, one missing person can throw off picking rates, loading times, assembly line speeds, shipping windows, and overall productivity.  Recruiters and hiring agents understand that emergencies happen. Cars break down. Kids get sick. People change their minds. But the absence of communication leaves recruiters scrambling, often long after the applicant has already moved on.  In my opinion, or the way I look at it, by the way, that and a dollar will get you a donut, but I feel Ghosting isn't really about disrespect. It's more about fear, stress, assumptions, and misaligned expectations.  Here are my thoughts towards the root causes of driving the cycle. Theres too much automation, not enough human contact. Technology sped up the hiring process but it also removed the personal element both sides need. And job seekers apply to dozens of positions at once. One-click applications mean applicants may not even remember all the jobs they applied for. Recruiters then spend hours calling candidates who barely recall applying. And a big one, many applicants apply for jobs they aren't qualified for. Not out of laziness, but out of hope. Here's one I experienced this week. Recruiters are managing heavy workloads. When you're trying to fill 20 positions by tomorrow, one on one follow-up becomes impossible.  It's easy for all of us to assume the worst. Applicants think, They didn't call, so I must not matter. Recruiters think, If they're not answering now, they won't show up on the job. These assumptions kill communication before it even begins. And quite frankly I think their cop outs and ridiculous!   So, now that we know all that, how can, us as applicants, reduce the chance of being ghosted. While nothing eliminates ghosting entirely, here are ways we can dramatically increase our chances of hearing back and staying in the running. First, lets apply only to jobs we meet the minimum qualifications for. This shows the recruiter you're serious and saves you both time. Next, answer our phone and check voicemail. I know, we're all getting 10 spam calls a day so we screen them. But remember, a recruiter may be making 50 calls for our position. Recruiters move fast. Missing a call by two hours can mean the position is already filled. Here is one few of us do. We shouldn’t have to but it helps. Follow up professionally. A simple message, voice mail or email, goes a long way, Hi, just checking on the status of my application. I'm still very interested. And lets be honest about our schedule and abilities. Recruiters will respect transparency. And lastly, if you change your mind, tell someone. Closing the loop builds a good reputation, especially with agencies you may want to work with later.  OK, so how can recruiters do more to reduce ghosting from us applicants? I know that recruiters can't fix every no-show, but they can improve engagement. They can communicate early and clearly. Us applicants respond better when we know timelines and expectations upfront. Maybe send short, personal texts. A text feels more human than an automated email. Or an email with our name in it! And her is a big one. Explain the job requirements before the interview. List details in your ad. This prevents surprises and encourages honesty from us. As recruiters, you are busy, very busy, but try and treat applicants with respect, even when declining them. Don't make us feel bad and leave us with no hope!  Candidates remember how they were treated. Remember we still have to search for a position.  Oh yeah, and please avoid overselling the job. Honesty builds that long-term trust.  Everybody wants the same thing right? Applicants want stability, fair pay, communication, and a chance. Recruiters want reliable workers, honest communication, safety, and productivity. Neither side wakes up intending to ghost anyone most of the time, the silence isn't personal, it's situational.  When both sides understand the pressures the other is under, communication gets better, expectations align, and opportunities become clearer. Ghosting might not disappear entirely, but it loses a bit of its sting. And more importantly, it opens the door to better hiring relationships where respect runs in both directions.  Now that one of the larger opportunities in our industry is solved, we'll call it a wrap. Seriously though, we're all people, our needs and agendas are different, but we can and should help each other when it comes to our professional lives. Have a great week and be safe in all you do. We want to see you back here next week.

B2B sales leader Kent Kononoff is back with us on the show to share his expertise on the crucial, and often overlooked, connection between physical fitness and sales performance. Drawing from over 25 years of experience, Kent shares how discipline, consistency, and resilience developed through fitness routines can directly improve outcomes in the sales world.  The conversation uncovers Kent's favorite daily habits for staying energized, the role of nutrition and sleep, and practical strategies for overcoming the lifestyle challenges sales professionals often face. Whether it's hiking with clients or building accountability with colleagues, Kent reveals the secrets to staying motivated, managing stress, and sustaining peak performance. If you're looking for actionable advice on blending wellbeing with work to become a high-performing sales professional, this is one episode you don't want to miss. Outline of This Episode [04:26] Kent's favorite fitness habits: morning exercise, meal planning, and movement breaks. [06:46] Overcoming fitness and lifestyle challenges. [07:47] Combining client meetings with exercise and enjoying nature. [12:09] Prioritize nutrition, sleep, and recovery; don't overexert yourself. [15:01] Fitness and nutrition sustain Kent's energy for long workdays and frequent travel. [17:05] Never compromise on fitness or nutrition: they are critical for both personal and professional excellence. The Overlooked Link Between Fitness and Sales Performance There are direct parallels between fitness and success in sales. Both arenas, Kent points out, demand discipline, consistency, dedication, and the willingness to tackle tough challenges head-on. Kent likens uphill mountain biking, where grit and resilience see you through, to the demanding "uphill" moments every salesperson inevitably faces. The physical stamina built through exercise translates directly to mental toughness and perseverance on the job. For Kent, athleticism isn't simply a bonus trait he looks for when hiring; it's a key criterion. Candidates with athletic backgrounds often exhibit teamwork, determination, and a coachable spirit, all attributes that fuel both athletic and sales success. Building Daily Habits that Pay Off What's the secret sauce for keeping that momentum going day after day? Kent's go-to is a consistent morning routine, starting each dawn with breathwork, stretching, and some form of physical activity, whether hitting the gym or taking a brisk walk. This jumpstart not only gets his heart pumping but sets a positive tone for the entire day, fueling motivation and raising overall energy levels. His approach goes beyond exercise alone: Meal Planning: Avoiding the all-too-common pitfalls of poor dietary choices, especially when sales roles often involve client meals and unpredictable schedules. Planning meals in advance and even using AI tools to track nutrition ensures that energy remains steady and focused. Movement Breaks: Recognizing the hazards of sedentary work, Kent schedules mini-exercise intervals or walks throughout the workday to keep both body and mind sharp. Navigating Sales-Specific Health Challenges Sales professionals face unique lifestyle obstacles: long hours, frequent travel, and a schedule that's never truly their own. Kent acknowledges that a lack of time is a universal excuse, but urges salespeople to treat fitness as they would any non-negotiable client meeting, making it a priority and protecting it. He also addresses the double-edged sword of business done over meals or drinks. His solution is proactive planning to make healthier choices, and consider inviting clients for activity-based meetings (like walks or even hikes), which boost fitness and build stronger client relationships. To combat burnout and fatigue, Kent recommends being vigilant for warning signs, such as low energy or motivation. His antidote? Get back to basics: stick to a strict exercise schedule, maintain mindful nutrition, and establish a disciplined sleep routine. He stresses that sleep is a critical, yet often neglected, performance lever, impacting not only productivity but the longevity of one's sales career. Putting Fitness First With a demanding travel and meeting schedule, Kent credits his fitness routine for sustaining energy and focus during marathon days. While others feel burned out, he's energized and effective until the last meeting. The key is to never compromise on fitness and nutrition goals. The most successful and long-tenured sales professionals are those who invest in their health, reaping the rewards of high performance, longevity, and overall life satisfaction. Physical fitness isn't just a nice-to-have for sales professionals; it's a game-changer. By weaving movement, healthy eating, and recovery into your daily rhythm, you not only elevate your career but also enjoy a better quality of life both inside and outside the office.  Connect with Kent Kononoff Kent Kononoff on LinkedIn  Connect With Paul Watts  LinkedIn Twitter  Subscribe to SALES REINVENTED Audio Production and Show Notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com

Freshly laid-off people filed these applications for unemployment insurance at state unemployment agencies, which then reported them to the US Department of Labor by the weekly deadline, which then combined the data and published it today. In a longer timespan going back to the 1970s, initial claims are very low, despite the growth of nonfarm payrolls over the decades. They were lower only during the tight labor market of 2018 and 2019 and during the labor shortages coming out of the pandemic. Layoffs show no signs of a weakening labor market. If the labor market is weakening, it's on the job-creation side of the equation. So layoffs are low, but once laid off, it takes people longer to find a job as companies have slowed their hiring, but even that has improved since the summer.

The 2.5 million figure includes more than 605,000 individuals deported as part of DHS enforcement operations and around 1.9 million illegal immigrants who have voluntarily self-deported since January. The rapid decline in the illegal immigrant population is showing effects nationwide, such as a “resurgence in local job markets,” DHS said. In October, 12,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy, which followed 431,000 additions in September.

Zelensky Floats Holding Referendum On Giving Up Land For Peace “I am definitely in favor of elections,” Ukraine’s President Zelensky said Thursday. “The most important thing is that they are held legitimately.” He’s presenting a position of willingness to compromise amid the increasing pressure from Trump. Is this but a ruse to buy time?  Ceding territory by vote? WSJ continues… Zelensky has long said that as president he can't unilaterally decide the fate of Ukrainian territories, which must be approved by the Ukrainian people. In early fall, 54% Ukrainians opposed ceding land, even if it meant continuing the war and risked the country's independence, compared with 38% who were open to some territorial concessions, in a poll conducted by Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.

A federal grand jury on December 3 returned a 25-count indictment against Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, 52. Dickerson was charged with 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. “On December 3, 2025, a federal Grand Jury returned a 25-count Indictment, charging Dickerson with 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. For each count of wire fraud, Dickerson faces up to 20 years in federal prison, and a fine of up to $250,000. For each count of money laundering, Dickerson faces up to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 or twice the amount of the criminally derived property involved in the transaction,” the DOJ said. According to the charging documents, Dickerson, through BLMOKC, raised more than $5.6 million, but rather than using the money to bail out George Floyd rioters, she used millions to fund her lavish lifestyle. Federal prosecutors said Dickerson funneled over $3.5 million to her personal accounts and spent it on vacations, six properties in Oklahoma City, retail shopping, and food.

Source: thegatewaypundit.com Schumer Erupts After Senate Blocks Democrat Bill to Extend Expiring Obamacare Subsidies — Desperately Blames Republicans for the Disaster Democrats Created  The Senate delivered a major blow to Democrat leadership Thursday night after rejecting Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's last-minute attempt to extend expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, subsidies Democrats themselves voted to terminate in Joe Biden's so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” of 2022. The subsidies are set to expire on December 31, 2025 because Democrats wrote the expiration date into their own bill. Yet now, as the political consequences close in, Schumer is scrambling to pin the blame on Republicans.  Democrats locked the subsidy expiration date into law in 2022. They knew this would happen. They planned for it to happen. They voted for it to happen. Now, in an election year—Schumer is trying to retroactively pretend Republicans created a crisis that Democrats engineered from the beginning. Recall that in 2014, Chuck Schumer himself admitted Obamacare was a mistake and confessed that Democrats sold out the middle class to get it passed.

Democrats have been relentless in their targeting of TINA PETERS, a Patriot who simply wanted to make sure that our Elections were Fair and Honest. Tina is sitting in a Colorado prison for the “crime” of demanding Honest Elections. Today I am granting Tina a full Pardon for her attempts to expose Voter Fraud in the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election! https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1999403926316069209?s=20   Ticktin’s nine-page letter dated December 7, 2025, accuses a “criminal conspiracy” involving Dominion Voting Systems, Colorado officials like Secretary of State Jena Griswold, and foreign influences, while arguing that Peters preserved election data in compliance with federal law (52 U.S.C. § 20701). He positions her as a key witness for future investigations into election integrity, leveraging her status as a 70-year-old Gold Star mother to evoke sympathy. A core (and controversial) element of Ticktin’s legal theory is the untested claim that the U.S. Constitution allows presidents to pardon state-level convictions—a position not supported by precedent, as presidential pardons are explicitly limited to federal offenses under Article II, Section 2. This strategy aims to challenge the boundaries of executive power, potentially setting up a court battle if pursued further, while amplifying the narrative through media and conservative outlets to build public pressure. , this pardon is largely symbolic and legally ineffective because Peters was convicted and sentenced in Colorado state court on charges like attempting to influence a public servant, conspiracy, and official misconduct—not federal crimes. It doesn’t vacate her nine-year prison sentence or require her release; only Colorado’s governor (currently Democrat Jared Polis) could grant clemency for state offenses, and there’s no indication he plans to do so.   the pardon could indirectly help Peters in several ways: Political and Public Pressure: It elevates her case nationally among Trump supporters and election skeptics, potentially leading to fundraising for her legal defense, public campaigns for her release, or even influencing her ongoing state appeals (e.g., by highlighting perceived bias in her trial). A federal magistrate recently denied her release pending appeal, but this symbolic gesture might bolster arguments about unfair prosecution. Narrative Framing: Ticktin can use it to reinforce claims of her innocence in the court of public opinion, portraying the pardon as validation from the president that her actions were justified. This aligns with broader Republican efforts to question 2020 election security. Potential Federal Angle: If any federal investigations arise from her case (e.g., related to Dominion or election data), the pardon could preemptively shield her from future federal charges. Ticktin’s strategy also includes pushing for a DOJ review of her conviction, which Trump directed earlier in 2025. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/1999284588955468129?s=20 This refers to the DOJ’s decision, under Bondi’s leadership, to rescind regulations enforcing disparate impact liability. This action implements an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in April 2025, eliminating the use of disparate impact metrics to prove discrimination against entities receiving federal funding. What is Disparate Impact Liability? It’s a legal doctrine originating from the 1971 Supreme Court case Griggs v. Duke Power Co., which interprets Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Under this theory, policies or practices that disproportionately harm protected groups (e.g., based on race, even without intentional bias) can be considered discriminatory. Over decades, it expanded into a regulatory tool that penalized unintentional disparities, often requiring institutions like employers, schools, or housing providers to track and adjust for racial outcomes to avoid lawsuits or loss of federal funds.  Critics (including the poster and the article) argue it incentivized racial quotas, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) mandates, and “reverse discrimination,” straying from the Civil Rights Act’s original focus on intentional discrimination. Ending disparate impact liability is framed as restoring “equality under the law” by focusing DOJ enforcement solely on provable intent, rather than statistical outcomes. Bondi stated: “This Department of Justice is eliminating its regulations that for far too long required recipients of federal funding to make decisions based on race.” this is a blow against overreaching government coercion, promoting individual liberty and meritocracy over enforced equity. They suggest skeptics “pay closer attention” to appreciate its impact on freedom from such policies. Texas Showdown: GOP’s Wesley Hunt Now Dares Dem Crockett to Face-Off  The 2026 election cycle is working its way up through the gears. Candidates are announcing their intent to run for various seats; some are sure-wins, some are sure to be fights to the finish, and some are sure to be inexplicable. One of the latter is surely Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) announcing for a Texas Senate seat, the same seat being sought by Republican Representative Wesley Hunt (TX-38). My money’s on Mr. Hunt. Even more so now, that the Republican Congressman has challenged Rep. Crockett to a duel – or, rather, a debate. She may wish she’d picked swords at sunrise instead of a verbal exchange with Wesley Hunt. Texas Senate candidate Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, challenged House colleague Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, to a debate after Crockett entered the race earlier this week. Hunt, who faces incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a competitive Republican primary, was quick to challenge Crockett to a debate, saying that if the new contender agreed it would be “must-see TV.” Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/mrddmia/status/1999519791527207239?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheStormRedux/status/1999143399631282641?s=20 get the right people in place. VANCE: “Eventually you are gonna see prosecutions. Not just Arctic Frost related, but on a whole host of other issues. Eventually we need certain subpoenas that have to be issued by a court. Eventually you need local prosecutors, US Attorneys to go after some of these people in a court of law. If you can't get a U.S. Attorney appointed because the Democrat wont give you a blue slip. Or you can't get a judge confirmed… Republicans have gotta open up their perspective a little bit.” Everyone can complain all they want, but the DOJ would be stupid to bring charges without the right people in place. Blame the worthless Republican Senators! Frustrating, but I am confident President Trump will figure it out because he is the best problem solver I've ever seen in my life.
