Former Republican operative turned Harris campaign strategist Maria Comella joins Chuck Todd to deliver a brutal post-mortem on Democratic failures and to reflect on her unique career path across the political spectrum. From her early days in Republican politics to the inner workings of the Harris campaign, Comella offers candid insights on what it takes to run for office in an era defined by partisanship, shifting voter coalitions, and struggling party identities. She shares stories about Christie's sharp self-awareness, Giuliani's early years, and the challenges Harris faced in balancing her legal background with her political ambitions.Together, Chuck and Maria dive into the pitfalls of Democratic messaging in the Trump era, why Harris couldn't connect with Republican voters, and how Biden and Harris miscalculated their approach to the left. They also explore the rise of outsider candidates like Sanders and Trump, the failure of movements like “No Labels,” and whether a third party—or even a unifying military figure—could ever gain traction. With upcoming races in New Jersey and New York on the horizon, Comella weighs in on the donor class panic over Mamdani, Cuomo's uncertain future, and what it will take for either party to break through with an electorate hungry for reform.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Maria Comella joins the Chuck Toddcast02:00 Maria's origin story06:30 Difficulty running for state/local offices after being in unpopular congress07:30 Experience of working for Rudy Guiliani11:15 Moving from Republican politics to the Harris campaign12:15 Do Cuomo, Giuliani and Christie have much in common?13:15 All three are voracious readers14:15 Chris Christie was the most self-aware of the three15:30 Christie was mad at Chuck over Meet the Press interview18:00 Did you have a seat at the table with the Harris campaign?19:45 Kamala Harris tried to be everything to everyone21:30 Harris seemed like a more natural fit in law than in politics22:15 Harris had ideological identity issues 23:45 Why Harris didn't appear on Joe Rogan's podcast24:45 Harris for Republicans vs. Republicans for Harris25:30 Biden & Harris didn't know how to talk to Republican voters27:00 Liz Cheney wasn't effective as a surrogate29:00 Biden & Harris were afraid to go after the left30:15 Harris campaign said she'd be different, but didn't show it31:30 Harris's appearance on The View symbolized her loss33:15 Harris had nearly a difficult, but not impossible task34:30 Harris didn't need to campaign with never Trump Republicans36:00 Harris was too late with her closing argument message37:30 Dukakis's closing message was just an airing of grievances38:45 Harris's closing message didn't meet voters where they were40:00 Democratic messaging has been dumb and lazy in Trump era41:30 Obama was the last candidate the public voted “for”42:45 Rise of Sanders and Trump show how weak the parties are43:15 Is there room for a third party?44:45 Why the “No Labels” party fell flat47:30 Could a less partisan military leader bring the country together?49:15 The system was built to force compromise rather than win/lose51:00 Voters want a reformer/change, Harris didn't offer that53:30 The GOP “establishment” let problems fester and ended up with Trump55:30 Rand Paul & Josh Hawley have stayed true to themselves57:15 Imitating Trump doesn't ever work for GOP candidates59:30 Who on the Democratic side could break through with GOP voters?1:01:30 The “Stop Mamdani” movement can't coalesce around one candidate1:03:00 Donor class panicking they can't stop Mamdani1:04:15 Schumer & Jeffries failed to find good NYC mayor candidate1:06:30 What will Cuomo do?

Chuck Todd dives into the shifting political and cultural landscape—from Trump's transformation of the information ecosystem and the  “civics lesson” his presidency has provided to the American public.  He weighs in on the administration's use of militarized “law and order” tactics and Trump's constant economic brinkmanship. The conversation ranges from Trump's similarities to Turkey's president Erdogan and his clashes with the Fed.. Chuck also introduces the new “ToddCast Top 5,” spotlighting rising Democratic contenders for 2028—from Gavin Newsom's leadership and Ruben Gallego's surge, to James Talarico's Buttigieg-style buzz and the ongoing question of when Bernie Sanders will pass the torch to AOC. Then, former Republican operative turned Harris campaign strategist Maria Comella joins Chuck to deliver a brutal post-mortem on Democratic failures and to reflect on her unique career path across the political spectrum.

Trump's FBI raids the home of John Bolton—the former first-term Trump advisor turned vocal critic—as the President escalates his use of state power to target and threaten anyone who's criticized him, most recently Chris Christie, Wes Moore, ABC News, and NBC News. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy react to those threats and all of this week's fascist horrors, including the arming of the National Guard in D.C., the administration's pending deployment of troops to Chicago, and ICE's plan to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man they wrongly sent to CECOT, to Uganda unless he pleads guilty to a set of dubious charges brought against him in Tennessee. Then, economic writer James Surowiecki sits down with Lovett to talk about the Trump administration's unprecedented acquisition of Intel stock—and what it signals to other major companies.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Then, an interview with Saikrishna Bangalore Prakash on his forthcoming book, The Presidential Pardon: The Short Clause with a Long, Troubled History.

Today's Headlines: Trump claims he's “not-a-dictator” while justifying plans to send the National Guard into states under the banner of fighting crime. He followed that up by signing a stack of executive orders: one to criminalize flag-burning (directly challenging a Supreme Court ruling that protects it as free speech), and another targeting cashless bail by pressuring cities and D.C. to roll it back. He also picked new fights with Chris Christie and threatened to have FCC revoke their licenses - which he can't really do. Meanwhile, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is openly defying Trump, calling him a wannabe dictator and vowing to stop him. On Capitol Hill, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Epstein's estate for financial records, contacts, and his infamous birthday book. In deportation news, ICE re-detained Kilmar Abrego Garcia—less than 24 hours after his release—though a judge has temporarily blocked his deportation to Uganda. In other news, Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro is urging citizens to join the pro-government militia in response to U.S. warships and a $50M bounty on his head (though his claim of 4.5M soldiers is… generously padded). Trade tensions are also flaring again, with foreign postal services pausing shipments to the U.S. over confusion around Trump's changes to tariff exemptions. Lastly, Elon Musk's xAI is suing Apple and OpenAI, accusing them of illegally rigging the AI market by locking ChatGPT into every iPhone.

In the past week alone there has been an FBI raid on John Bolton's home and a threat to investigate former New Jersey governor Chris Christie due to his criticism of Trump. Every day there are new indicators to suggest the US is rapidly descending into dictatorship, with the President using the power of his office for his own ends. How can Americans stop this momentum? Andrew and Rudyard then turn to Canada's ongoing trade war with the US. Mark Carney's repeated attempts at being a reasonable interlocutor engaging in good faith negotiations is met with provocation from the US President. Andrew suggests the PM try to manage chaos and stall for time instead of trying to reach a deal. This is a problem that shouldn't be solved; it should be managed. In the final moments of the show Andrew and Rudyard talk about Carney's visit to Ukraine and his offer to send Canadian troops as part of a future security guarantee. Is it time for Canada to accept its defense limitations and its inability to act as the peacemaker it has always aspired to be? Or should we welcome this offer as an opportunity to fulfill our long neglected NATO obligations?

Trump over the weekend demanded that Chris Christie be investigated, NBC & ABC have their licenses revoked, and the Governor of Maryland loses federal funding for a bridge disaster. Why? Because Trump said they were all mean to him. It's not funny. It's scary. And so a wrong. And we must no normalize this behavior. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Russiagate OG Devin Nunes explains how Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel have given proof to the American people that he's been speaking for 8 years. Does he feel vindicated? No... and we tell you why. Tulsi says they're investigating Fauci and gain of function research as Chris Christie strikes back at Trump for kicking him out of The Club. Listen to the end to hear the SOUND OF THE DAY... which, sadly, will make you dumber.

David Waldman is older than he used to be! By an entire year somehow! Congratulations! Also… Armando!  Greg Dworkin is completely different of course, and so is his Raft O' Stories™, although they could all be a distraction from the real story. The Zohran Mamdanimentum keeps growing, because it's fun and Zohran is having fun and New Yorkers are a fun-loving bunch. Similarly, Gavin Newsomentum is building, even though there are Dems out there whose anxiety builds when they see too much fun going on and would like to remind you here in August 2025 that you don't “have to” vote for Gavin in November 2028 if you don't want to. Expect Trump to drop the word “CUCK” into his posts soon in order to get ahead of Newsom comparisons. Or Trump could just have Gavin arrested. Time for some legal problems for Chris Christie. Time for some legal problems for every federal judge in Maryland. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh note that none of these people are either of them. Kilmar Abrego Garcia could inspire this administration to reinstitute crucifixion. Let's pour one out for two Fulton County Dems, Dana Barrett and Mo Ivory, protectors of democracy and presently unincarcerated. Trump will obviously send troops into Chicago. Not because he needs to, but because he wants to. Cheating is so fun that it might not matter if it actually works. Soon we will all have something to cry about. US consumers with prime credit are starting to fall behind in their payments. Millions are being pushed off of Medicaid and Obamacare, no matter what they are being told now. And COVID isn't going away, but the vaccine is. Years of effort have finally paid off. Nancy Mace has finally worn out her welcome.

Tonight on NJ Spotlight News, a high-profile murder raises questions about how domestic abuse claims against police officers are handled by their colleagues. Plus, a nonprofit works to relieve medical debt for New Jerseyans in needs. Also, gambling revenue soars for Atlantic City casinos. And, President Donald Trump threatens to open new investigations into the "Bridgegate" scandal after former Governor Chris Christie criticizes the administration.

Chuck Todd welcomes Politico's politics bureau chief Jonathan Martin to discuss the rapidly evolving political landscape as both parties grapple with structural weaknesses and Trump's continued dominance of the political conversation. The conversation covers the Democratic Party's primary calendar shake-up, with New Hampshire maintaining its first-in-the-nation status despite ongoing debates about Iowa's role, while examining how the party's focus on winning over traditional early-state voters may not address deeper issues with rural constituencies. Martin and Todd analyze Trump's economic challenges, from emerging tariff impacts to his desperate attempts to influence interest rates, alongside his strategic use of government power to shape elections and avoid potential legal consequences.The discussion shifts to key electoral battlegrounds, particularly the New Jersey gubernatorial race featuring Mikie Sherrill and her challenger Ciattarelli, which could serve as a crucial midterm bellwether. They explore the broader implications of weak party structures, redistricting battles that Obama has now blessed, and whether Democrats are ceding their traditional "adult in the room" positioning. Their discussion concludes with lighter fare about college football, including LSU's playoff aspirations and James Madison's surprising rise as Virginia's emerging football power, offering a perfect blend of serious political analysis and seasonal sports commentary.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Jonathan Martin joins the Chuck Toddcast!00:30 College football kicks off02:30 Democrats debating where to host first primary02:45 New Hampshire will be first primary state 05:15 Winning over NH voters doesn't solve Dems issues with rural voters 07:00 Iowa won't move back to first in the nation status 07:30 Democrats vacate endorsement of DSA candidate in Minneapolis09:45 The two traditional parties are incredibly weak 10:45 Trump is creating a lot of noise, but can't distract from economy 12:30 Trump's ultimate goal is attention 24/7 13:15 Tariff impacts are starting to show up 15:00 Trump is desperate to bring down interest rates 16:15 Trump will use the power of government to affect elections 17:30 Texas redraw shows Trump is desperate to avoid third impeachment 18:45 Could Mike Johnson refuse to seat a new congress? 19:45 DOJ releases Ghislaine Maxwell testimony to appease base 21:15 DOJ's reputation will take years to recover 23:15 Democrats get no credit when being fair on redistricting 24:00 Obama gives his blessing to redistricting effort 24:45 Are Democrats ceding "adult in the room" status? 26:00 Biden overreached beyond his mandate 27:30 Redistricting will be a massive legal mess 28:15 Trump takes partial state ownership of major companies 29:45 Trump's endorsement is decisive in GOP primaries 31:00 Huge reliance on Scott Bessent to keep lid on Trump 33:00 New Jersey governor race will be a bellwether for the midterms 34:45 Mikie Sherrill bungled her answer on Mamdani35:30 Trump is sympathetic to Ciattarelli 36:45 Ciattarelli has a Chris Christie quality to him 38:15 Sherrill would be the least "Jersey" governor 39:45 Will any Republican senators announce retirement? 41:45 Sherrod Brown's outlook in Ohio senate race 43:30 Brown's prize for winning is an election in two years 45:45 Democrats too focused on DC rather than states 46:45 Which college football games will you attend? 48:00 LSU needs to make a playoff run for Kelly to keep his job 50:15 James Madison becoming the football power in Virginia

Chuck Todd breaks down the political paradox of August 2025, a month that generated significant headlines yet produced little actual movement in Washington's power dynamics. Despite a DC law enforcement surge that failed to target high-crime areas and escalating redistricting wars that continue eroding institutional trust, Todd argues that distractions like the worthless Ghislaine Maxwell testimony release and questionable personnel moves at the IRS are overshadowing more serious concerns about DOJ's politicization and economic warning signs. With only Rubio and Bessent providing cabinet stability as cracks emerge in the economy and potential stagflation looms by spring 2026, Todd explores how Trump's promised restrictions on mail-in voting in red states will likely backfire as voters demand expanded early voting options, while examining the broader phenomenon of "nutpicking" – when entire political parties get defined by their most outlandish members, a dynamic perfectly satirized in recent South Park episodes that mirror Elon Musk's bizarre Macrohard announcement.Then, Chuck welcomes Politico's politics bureau chief Jonathan Martin to discuss the rapidly evolving political landscape as both parties grapple with structural weaknesses and Trump's continued dominance of the political conversation.

New data shows the nations with the highest standards of living are seeing the sharpest declines in wellbeing, while people in poorer countries are reporting more happiness. What's going on? David Brooks' recent article looked at data from 142 countries, and he concludes that spirituality and social connection, not just wealth, are critical to human flourishing. In related news, since legalizing euthanasia in 2016 and expanding access to it, Canada has seen an alarming trend. Then, it's been 100 years since the Scopes Monkey Trial.

Danny and Kevin continue their summer sojourn at the cinema with Superman '25. The film is the first entry in the new DC Universe franchise, the fifth superhero film directed by James Gunn and (depending how you count) like the tenth or twentieth theatrically released Superman film. Does the world still need Superman? Does the world want Superman? And what exactly makes Superman such a super man? These questions, as well as others such as "How did Chris Christie's audition to take over for WFAN's Mike Francesa go?", are answered in the latest chapter of John Byrne's seminal Coffee and Deathsticks run.Email us at this webzone: coffeeanddeathsticks@gmail.com 

The week started with a bang! There typically are "continuing" stories that don't function in a one-day environment. Many of the big stories will last for weeks or months. Some even survive for a year or longer. Let's catch up with the biggest of the day:It probably comes as no surprise to learn that Chicago's crime stats continue to soar as Chicago's mayor continues to minimise his administration's responsibility for the crime wave that is growing larger by the day.Trump announced this morning that the U.S. is going to send Ukraine more weapons -- especially missiles -- to assist their war effort against Russia. This may sound benign, but what's shocking is that the U.S. will provide the weaponry, but the European Union (EU) is actually paying the bill!President "autopen" came out with some shocking news for many. Biden made clear that he had "personally" approved every pardon or commutation of those many he issued at the end of his administration. He provided no details explaining how that could be feasibly possible, but he did acknowledge that he had authorized aides in his office to use the autopen. Of course, there's no proof, no signatures of those who took these actions, or no documentation that explains the process.Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie claimed that President Trump has personally benefited from the uproar over the Jeffrey Epstein debacle. Christie said Trump stoked the fire to keep the matter on the "front page" of every newspaper.

Palm Beach County, Florida, was the epicenter of the state's opioid crisis for many years as pill mills and malfeasance plagued the county's communities. Since 2017, the county has been addressing the crisis, forming an advisory committee, appointing a drug czar and shifting its response toward a strategy centered on long-term recovery. With opioid settlement money to allocate over the next 20 years, the latest plan looks to spend 90% on social determinants of health—like job training, stable housing, and community support—and 10% on acute care. This paradigm shift is rethinking traditional approaches to addressing substance use disorders (SUD), placing recovery at the heart of government response. Palm Beach County Drug Czar John Hulick joins this episode to discuss this bold action and how other local governments can draw from the county's playbook to inform their own work on SUD.  John Hulick was Palm Beach County's Office of Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorders senior program manager and drug czar. He began serving in this position in 2018. He previously had focused on policy in New Jersey, being tapped to serve as former Governor Chris Christie's executive director of the Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse and serving as policy advisor to the governor for Human Services, Children, and Families in the Office of the Governor. He is an individual in long-term recovery and has also supported his daughter throughout her journey in recovery from addiction.More Links and InformationCheck out more Fors Marsh Media  Connect or partner with Fors Marsh  Read the Palm Beach County Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorder Plan

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (05/12/2025): 3:05pm- Over the weekend, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer met with China's Vice Premier for Economic Policy He Lifeng in Geneva, Switzerland. By the meeting's conclusion, an agreement was reached to pause onerous tariffs between the world's two largest economies for 90-days. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will be reduced from 145% to 30%, while China's tariffs on American imports will go from 125% to 10%. While speaking from the White House on Monday, President Donald Trump said, “we achieved a total reset with China” and that his administration's negotiators will continue to seek remedies for China's unfair trade policies—which have included currency manipulation, unbalanced trade, and intellectual property theft. 3:15pm- On Friday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka alongside Congressmembers Bonnie Watson-Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez visited the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in New Jersey—at one point trespassing which led to a confrontation with ICE officials and the eventual arrest of Mayor Baraka. ICE has released bodycam footage of the altercation which shows Rep. McIver attempting to physically shove past ICE agents. Rich notes that because of the enormous sum of “earned media” surrounding the confrontation, Baraka—a candidate for New Jersey governor—might have a real chance to win the Democratic Party's primary next month. 3:40pm- According to a report from Politico, internal polling suggests that Senator John Fetterman's (D-PA) support with Pennsylvania-based Democrats has faded—with only 46% having a “favorable” opinion of him currently. 4:05pm- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that is intended to lower the price of pharmaceutical drugs domestically—explicitly mentioning a “most favored nation” pricing model which will require companies to charge Americans no more than what they are charging citizens of foreign countries. Currently, Americans typically pay more per drug than Europeans, for example—despite pharmaceuticals being developed in the United States. 4:10pm- While speaking with the press, President Trump hilariously noted he has a “brilliant businessman” friend who is “seriously overweight” and “takes the fat shot drug.” The friend told Trump that he currently pays significantly more for the drug in the United States than he does in London. But which friend was the president talking about? Matt and Justin speculate that it could be Elon Musk. Chat GPT suggests it could be Chris Christie? No chance. Artificial intelligence has failed us. 4:30pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) clips from corporate media: Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) dismisses the idea that we are in a constitutional crisis (despite prompts from Meet the Press's Kristen Welker) + New Jersey Democrats cause a commotion at an ICE detention facility. 5:05pm- Prior to signing an executive order on Monday, President Donald Trump applauded his administration for successfully negotiating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. 5:10pm- Over the weekend, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer met with China's Vice Premier for Economic Policy He Lifeng in Geneva, Switzerland.

 Clay is joined by David Marchick, the author of the acclaimed book, The Peaceful Transfer of Power: An Oral History of America's Presidential Transitions. The transfer of power in 2021 was not peaceful and it was not efficient. The transfer of power in 2025 will certainly be peaceful, but President-elect Trump is deliberately violating norms that have been in place in U.S. politics for most of a century. David Marchick's book explores the history of transitions: Buchanan to Abraham Lincoln, arguably the worst in our history, all the way to G.W. Bush and Barack Obama in 2008, perhaps the finest and smoothest transition in our history. We spend some time talking about the transition in 2016-17 from the Obama to the first Trump administration, when Chris Christie worked for months to vet hundreds of potential appointees and provided a brilliant roadmap for Trump, only to see his dozens of binders literally tossed into the dumpster by Trump's son in law Jared Kushner.

The mystery of the suspicious drones flying around New Jersey continues getting more mysterious. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas attempted to downplay the situation by saying there's "no threat or nefarious activity." But is what he says credible? Multiple government officials from New Jersey, including Chris Christie, report these drone sightings as anomalies. Pat Gray joins Glenn and Stu to give his theory on what these suspicious drones are being used for. Was the multiverse theory just proven scientifically correct? Google claims to have accessed parallel universes with its new supercomputer, but it's already being questioned. People are buying paperback Bibles in record numbers.

This week, Axe and Heilemann are joined by former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie! The Hacks dive into Christie's unique insights as Donald Trump's former Transition Team Chairman to explore what a second Trump term might look like: which cabinet picks are likely to stick, and which ones are simply Trump's way of flipping the bird.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, this is an election between those who believe in Americanism and the corrupt America-hating ruling class, establishment elite. That's why you see people like Liz Cheney and Chris Christie back Kamala Harris. The ruling-class establishment Republicans would be perfectly fine with a Republican president who wants to transform America. Later, Israel was getting ready to attack and the Iran spies in this administration leaked their intel to an Iranian front group. Also, the media continues to work on behalf of Kamala Harris, Harris had an interview with NBC News. Kamala Harris and her supporters will do anything but run on her record and what she really believes. It's not a mistake that Gen John Kelly, Gen Mark Milley, and Liz Cheney all oppose Donald Trump. Kamala Harris doesn't know why she's running for President - except she wants power. The left wants Kamala to win so they can put Trump in prison. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, this is an election between those who believe in Americanism and the corrupt America-hating ruling class, establishment elite. That's why you see people like Liz Cheney and Chris Christie back Kamala Harris. The ruling-class establishment Republicans would be perfectly fine with a Republican president who wants to transform America. Also, Donald Trump is right, we do have enemies from within. We have a political party that wants voter fraud and wants to eliminate the Electoral College. A party that doesn't believe in parental rights - that's the enemy from within. The Democrat Party fears that Trump represents We The People - our interests and our desires.  You need to vote like your lifestyle depends on it because it does. Later, Iran has all of Israel's classified information as a result of the Biden-Harris-Blinken-Sullivan regime. This ruins America's credibility in the world. Afterward, Washington Examiner's Gabe Kaminsky calls in to discuss his deep dive investigation into George Soros' purchase of over 200 radio stations which was fast-tracked by the FCC. There is concern because we don't know how much foreign ownership is involved in this purchase. Finally, Bernie Moreno calls in to discuss his Senate race against Sen Sherrod Brown. No matter what Brown says he is no moderate. If Brown ran on his actual record and actual beliefs, he would be defeated quickly. The only choice he has is to lie. Learn more about your ad choices.
