Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Murphy

Why do so many Americans feel powerless, lonely, and disconnected — and what does that have to do with our economy? Senator Chris Murphy joins Nick and Goldy to discuss his new book, Crisis of the Common Good, which makes the case that America's political crisis is inseparable from a deeper collapse of power, connection, and shared purpose. They dig into the “cult of profit,” Market Humanism, AI, scarcity, corruption, and the limits of an economy organized around efficiency and extraction. It's a conversation about what happens when profit becomes the highest measure of success, and what it would mean to build an economy rooted in dignity, connection, and the common good.

 Joe kicks off today's broadcast with a raw, hard-hitting breakdown of what it truly means to live under a system stacked against the American people. Diving straight into Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's recent statements on non-citizen voting, Joe exposes the stark contradictions between official narratives and ground-level realities. From Sheriff Dar Leaf's explosive whistle-blower revelations regarding Michigan's CARS record system automatically enrolling non-citizens to vote, to Harmeet Dhillon detailing nationwide voter roll purges, the evidence of systemic manipulation continues to pile up. Joe tackles the ongoing judicial overreach, highlighting activist Judge Indira Talwani's repeated blocking of mail-in ballot safeguards alongside Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold pushing forward with mass ballot mailings regardless of court challenges.Joe welcomes back law professor, election integrity analyst, and host of The Professor's Record, David Clements, for an urgent status update on the frontlines of the election fight. Together, they confront the legislative stalls surrounding the SAVE Act and analyze how unaddressed election fraud directly enables systemic financial corruption. Clements breaks down the massive news surrounding the General Services Administration exposing $13 billion in procurement fraud alongside the White House anti-fraud task force, detailing his candid perspective on where the battle stands. The pair also examine President Donald Trump's updated presidential rankings and what these ongoing exposures mean for the future of the republic.Joe broadens the lens to examine the coordinated erosion of Western values across Europe and North America. Analyzing undercover footage from the UK alongside shocking statements from radical figures regarding non-integration, Joe exposes how parallel societies are actively being cultivated while establishment politicians downplay the crisis. The show scrutinizes Senator Chris Murphy's claims that illegal immigration is a "fake problem," pitting political rhetoric directly against reportings that border turnaways are being weaponized to inflate deportation metrics. Joe closes with an uncompromising reminder: when court rulings, open borders, and constitutional erosion work exclusively against working citizens, the result is a nation of compliant captives—and it's time for Americans to wake up.

Trump says the war is going great and the “bully of the Middle East” is no longer in charge. We're not buying slogans, so we pull the thread on what “going great” is supposed to mean when U.S. munitions stockpiles are thinning, regional bases are taking hits, and the Strait of Hormuz still looks anything but normal for global shipping. If you care about U.S. foreign policy, oil prices, and the real costs of escalation with Iran, this conversation is built for you. I'm joined by writer Nolan Denaro, whose recent reporting cuts through the talking points. We unpack why polling shows this conflict is wildly unpopular, why there was no serious attempt to “sell” it to the public, and what that says about Washington's attitude toward consent. Then we get into the human side of it: recruiting, military-age skepticism, and why even loose talk of a draft lands differently when people think the premise is based on provable lies. We also react to Senator Chris Murphy's blunt case for ending the war even if the only deal available is a bad one. From there, we examine the politics and psychology that keep wars alive: the fear of “losing,” the need to declare victory, and the media ecosystem that keeps promising Iran is always one more round of strikes away from collapsing. Nolan breaks down JD Vance's Iran war dilemma heading toward 2028, and we close on the way Lindsey Graham's legacy is being used to justify new sanctions and a new generation of hawkish influence.

This week, a band we've featured and often discussed on the show finally gets their due! Therefore, we give you part 1 of a “…Shoulda Been Huge!!!” episode for Halifax, NS, Canada's very own: SLOAN. The quintessential Canadian power-pop act—that blends '70s hard rock riffs, Beatles-esque vocal harmonies, and indie rock grit that has won them gold albums and a Juno in their home country. We think it is a grave mistake that they are not as revered everywhere in the world! This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that Kevin has been a fan of since discovering their first album back in 1993. Robert is less familiar with their impressive discography, so join him if this is an unknown for you. We think they should be remembered alongside the likes of other Canadian treasures like RUSH and TRIUMPH! Songs this week include: Sloan – “Underwhelmed” from Smeared (1992) Sloan – “Torn” from Peppermint - EP (1992) Sloan – “Shame Shame” from Twice Removed (1994) Sloan – “G Turns To D” from One Chord To Another (1996) Sloan - “She Says What She Means” from Navy Blues (1998) Sloan – “Seems So Heavy” from 4 Nights At The Palais Royale (1999) Sloan – “Friendship” from Between The Bridges (1999) Sloan – “If It Feels Good Do It” from Pretty Together (2001) Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!

You know your clients and referral sources are on social media. You know you should probably be there, too. But what are you supposed to post? How often? And is any of it actually going to bring business into your firm? In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley sits down with attorney Angel Leal, who went from a zero-dollar marketing budget to building an audience of more than one million followers. Angel shares what changed when he stopped trying to sound impressive and started approaching social media differently. Steve and Angel also explore how visibility can become a real law firm marketing strategy without creating another full-time job for an already busy attorney. If social media has always felt awkward, inconsistent, or like one more thing you "should" be doing, Angel's story may change the way you think about showing up online. ___________ In this episode, you will hear: How Angel built more than one million followers. Why consistency matters more than perfect posts. How media interviews build authority and content. When to add a publicist and support team.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the Iranian regime is gearing up for a prolonged showdown with President Trump by keeping their economy functioning just enough to withstand a drawn-out U.S. military campaign. As Gen. Jack Keane says, they think they have the upper hand in the Strait of Hormuz and will become more violent as the midterm elections approach. Keane says using economic levers is good but must also play the military card. But is allowing the regime to stall for time the right play? Why not arm the Iranian people and take out Iran's infrastructure, starting with Kharg Island? This is also playing into the hands of the woke-reich neo-fascist isolationists. By calling for American withdrawal now, they give aid and comfort to the enemy. And letting Iran think they have control over the Strait sends the wrong message to countries like China. What will the U.S. if the Chinese block the South China Sea? Also, why are younger people so drawn to socialism? We've abandoned the great thinkers of the not-so-distant past who explained capitalism and individual freedom: Buckley, Friedman, Sowell. Online influencers are pushing a sort of conservatism-lite, where they call for government intervention and a nationalist, populist form of common-good conservatism. It's actually socialism lite, but younger people don't know that. This is like the old Russian psyop: convince the young to ignore, even condemn, older generations. The young are told they know more than older people, they don't understand what you're doing through. Unfortunately, right now it's working. These pseudo-conservative isolationists sound a lot like Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, even Mamdani. Unfortunately, in this day and age, people want to be heard more than they want to learn. Then, Democratic Socialist leader Frances Gill was pressed on the consequences of getting rid of police and prisons. What would happen to rapists, she was asked. Instead of answering the question, Gill said she didn't want to talk "hypotheticals." Well, if a woman is raped, that's not hypothetical: that's real life. What Gill can't say out loud is the real reason DSAs want to eliminate police and prisons: so they can impose their own security services, loyal to their regime. Civil liberties were suspended during COVID in the name of the common good. If DSAs continue to get elected, we know what to expect. Finally, the clown show that is New York: a judge has blocked Mamdani's pied-a'-terre tax after NYC homeowners sued. Here's a guy who's never run a hot dog stand who thinks taxing rich people who provide jobs is a good idea. President Trump ripped Mamdani and NY Governor Kathy Hochul, calling this "amateur hour" and dangerous "experiment" that will destroy what was once a great City and State. Trump pledged to have the federal government look for a way to avert this "disaster." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Welcome back to The Majority Report On today's program: With each passing day the price of ending Trump's war on Iran gets higher and higher and Senator Chris Murphy says he is prepared to accept a terrible deal just to stop the bleeding from this failed effort.

Ebay, and three former high-level employees at the firm, are to pay Ina and David Steiner 57 million dollars after the company was found to have waged a campaign of terror against the couple. After Ina wrote a series of articles critical of eBay, the company harassed the couple sending them threatening and embarrassing items including live insects and books on how to survive the death of a spouse, leaving them fearing for their lives. Chris Murphy, a partner of Scalli Murphy law in Massachusetts, helped the couple achieve justice and joins Pat to tell us their story and what this ruling means for the future.

July 21, 2026, 5pm; As the War in Iran appears to be spiraling out of the administration's control; its popularity plummeting; and money and munitions run low, Pete Hegseth's testimony -- the first time he has answered Senators' questions about the conflict in months -- comes amid a dire budget crunch.

Some Long Island leaders are praising the governor for her one-year moratorium on large-scale data centers. A federal appeals court gives the green light to Tweed's expansion. Tensions were high between Chris Murphy and Pete Hegseth at a hearing yesterday. Plus, what to expect from tonight's debate between the democratic candidates for Connecticut governor.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss how the confirmation hearing for Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is yet another example of Trump trying to force Congress to bend the knee, what is behind the horrific ICE killings of two men this week and what can be done about it, and the details of a new multi-state antitrust lawsuit to block the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger led by guest California AG Rob Bonta.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss what voters deserve to know about the health and aging of our lawmakers, including the nuances of missing legislators versus executive officers, how political pressure from voters could encourage transparency and accountability, and possible solutions like term limits. In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily Bazelon talks with Senator Chris Murphy about his new book, Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Murphy lays out a provocative agenda for Democrats to call Americans to national service, break up corporate power, rebuild local communities, and create a bigger tent that reaches disaffected conservatives hungry for change.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss why an insurgent candidate with so many red flags got so far, how shocking new details about Trump's 2025 income show billions in earnings while those who bought his crypto lost billions, and what everyone lost when the president decided World Cup rules didn't apply to us.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David talk with guest Jesse Wegman, Senior Fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, about his new book The Lost Founder: James Wilson and the Forgotten Fight for a People's Constitution. Wilson, a Scottish-born delegate at the Constitutional Convention, argued that the people—not the states—held true governing power, pushing for a directly elected president, only to be erased from history after his career collapsed into debt and disgrace.

- The episode opens with Graham Platner suspending his campaign while still claiming innocence, framing his exit as proof that he is either lying about the allegations or too weak to keep fighting after building his image around being a political outsider and fighter. - A major focus is the Democratic Party's role in creating the mess, with Liz Warren, Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Chris Murphy, and other top Democrats accused of knowingly backing a deeply damaged candidate until the scandal threatened the seat. - The show hammers the media for running protection for months, accusing The New York Times, CNN, Politico, Axios, and Jake Tapper of minimizing earlier warning signs, burying worse accusations, and only flipping once party leaders decided he had to go. - Another key theme is the anti-democratic aftermath, with the argument that 150,000 Maine primary voters are being erased while party insiders prepare to choose a replacement nominee in a backroom process instead of letting voters live with the candidate they picked. - Beyond Maine, the episode also blasts Candace Owens for pushing conspiracy theories about the Charlie Kirk murder case, condemns open-border policies after the killing of six-year-old Tally Tolar by an illegal immigrant, and mocks Chuck Todd for claiming Trump somehow ruined the country's 250th Fourth of July celebration.

- The episode opens with Graham Platner digging in as Maine Democrats, Liz Warren, Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Chris Murphy, and party operatives scramble to force him off the ballot before the deadline, despite backing him when they thought he could win. - A major focus is the media's role in the collapse, with Politico, Axios, CNN, MSNBC, Jake Tapper, and others accused of minimizing earlier scandals, then flipping into takedown mode once the party decided it needed a replacement. - The show also zeroes in on the killing of UMass Lowell goalie Toby Forsyth, blaming the Biden administration and Democratic immigration policies after an Uzbek truck driver admitted through the diversity visa system allegedly caused the fatal crash and tried destroying evidence at the scene. - Another key segment targets Cambridge officials for killing ShotSpotter, arguing that the city's anti-police, race-obsessed politics left Xavier Batista bleeding on the ground for nearly an hour after a shooting that police might have reached sooner with the technology still in place. - The episode closes by mocking media and Democratic double standards across the board, from the treatment of sexual misconduct allegations to the defense of failed public-safety policies, while also blasting Mitch McConnell loyalists for pretending the ailing senator is still functioning normally.

Sen. Chris Murphy is calling for a $25 federal minimum wage, arguing that full-time workers deserve a living wage. Patrick Bet-David and the panel debate whether the proposal would help workers or accelerate inflation, raise prices, and put small businesses at a competitive disadvantage.

This week, Emily Bazelon, David Plotz, and guest host Ruth Marcus discuss this week's momentous Supreme Court rulings. The FTC/Slaughter case overturns nearly a century of precedent protecting independent agencies from presidential power while Cook makes a suspicious exception for the Fed, birthright citizenship prevails on constitutional grounds but the close vote further reveals what's broken at the Court, and the Court rules against transgender people, again, by upholding state bans on trans athletes.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, David, and guest host Ruth Marcus discuss how Trump's rally-turned-fireworks-delay, a militarized downtown, and a rebranded "Freedom 250" have turned DC's festivities into a loyalty test. They ponder whether skipping DC's fireworks means ceding the flag to Trump and if attending old-fashioned local cookouts and parades is the more patriotic move.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the U.S. Supreme Court once again protecting our Second Amendment, the left calling for a $25 per hour minimum wage, Democrats frustrated the World Cup has not been a disaster, and remembering respected pollster Glen Bolger.First, they applaud the Supreme Court for striking down a Hawaii law that required residents to get permission from stores and other public places before they were allowed to carry guns there. Despite the 6-3 decision, Jim expects Democrats to push very similar legislation again, only to have it smacked down at the Supreme Court again.Next, they groan as the left keeps pushing a much higher minimum wage as a solution to the rising cost of living, despite all evidence to the contrary. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is pushing a nationwide minimum wage of $25 per hour. Jim and Greg explain how this will only make things more expensive and result in more people losing their minimum wage jobs.Then, they're disgusted by a Politico story explaining how many Democrats were hoping the World Cup would be a logistical disaster so they could blame President Trump. So far, it's going well, and Democrats aren't very happy about it. Who thinks like this?Finally, they pay tribute to GOP pollster Glen Bolger, who passed away Thursday at the age of 63. Jim remembers Bolger as a very good pollster and an even better man.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1Visit https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Get a FREE Morning Person Hat and a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription. IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.  Use code 3ML at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/3MLQuoMoney is on the line.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss Tuesday's NY congressional primaries won by three Mamdani-backed democratic socialists and what they could mean for the Democratic Party, two new Supreme Court immigration rulings siding with the Trump administration, and the ongoing Reflecting Pool debacle as the symbol of a presidency of obsessive ego and shiny objects.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss a rare bipartisan win, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, its numerous provisions which aim to help ease the nationwide housing crisis, and how this victory rapidly shifted into a different kind of crisis when Trump abruptly announced he wouldn't sign the bill unless the SAVE Act passes. In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily Bazelon talks with Senator Chris Murphy about his new book, Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America.

In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily Bazelon talks with Senator Chris Murphy about his new book, Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Murphy lays out a provocative agenda for Democrats to call Americans to national service, break up corporate power, rebuild local communities, and create a bigger tent that reaches disaffected conservatives hungry for change.

“The fight,” Senator Chris Murphy tells Harry, “shouldn't just be to get rid of Trump. The fight should be to create a different economy and a different culture.” That's the message of the senator's new book—Crisis of the Common Good—which offers a host of provocative ideas for fixing the cracks in our society through which Trump crawled his way to power. After the two look at some of the latest Trump-induced crises, like Iran and the slush fund, Harry digs into the book's many big ideas. He closes by asking the senator about the steps any American can take toward a happier life and a healthier democracy.

Emily Bazelon interviews Senator Chris Murphy about his new book Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America. Murphy argues that Trump is not the root cause of America's political crisis—he's a symptom. The real diagnosis: a country ravaged by loneliness, disconnection, and the collapse of community. From gun violence to Jan. 6, Murphy traces our troubles back to a spiritual unspooling, a loss of meaning and purpose. But his book offers solutions. Murphy lays out a provocative agenda for Democrats to call Americans to national service, break up corporate power, rebuild local communities, and create a bigger tent that reaches disaffected conservatives hungry for change.Murphy makes the case that fixing America's spiritual crisis is not just morally necessary—it's the only way Democrats win. Winning by being against Trump is not enough. Democrats must offer a proactive vision of an America where people feel powerful in their economy, connected to their communities, and called to something greater than themselves. The book isn't about policy prescriptions, but rather a fundamental reimagining of what Americans want from their government and from each other.Tweet us your questions @SlateGabfest or email us at gabfest@slate.com.
