Send us a textIn this conversation, Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram are joined by Amanda Carpenter, an author, writer, and editor at Protect Democracy. They discuss the potential rise of authoritarianism in America if Trump is reelected and how his administration has focused on consolidating executive power and dismantling checks and balances. They highlight the importance of institutions like Congress, the courts, and the civil service in containing authoritarianism, but express concerns about their vulnerability. They also discuss the role of elections as a constraint on authoritarianism and the need for a broad opposition network to counter its rise. The conversation explores the potential threats to democracy and the role of various institutions in safeguarding it. The principal themes include the importance of focusing on priorities that protect the right to disagree and resolve differences through elections, the role of the media in countering authoritarianism, the impact of Trump's manipulation of the church and religion, the potential challenges in confirming Trump's cabinet in a second term, the exploitation of unconventional legal arguments to solidify power, and the risks of future elections being undermined or delayed. The conversation emphasizes the need for voters to consider the consequences and make informed choices.Learn more about the work Protect Democracy is doing: https://protectdemocracy.org/Guest Bio:Amanda Carpenter is a writer and editor at Protect Democracy.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/21/2024): 3:05pm- The Rich Zeoli Show is broadcasting LIVE from the Democratic National Committee Convention in Chicago, Illinois—and we start the show with CNN Contributor and Advisor to Donald J. Trump, David Urban. Urban weighs-in on Senator John Fetterman's decision not to attend the convention while calling for a secure Southern border, an end to wide-spread unlawful migration, and continued support for Israel in their war against Hamas. Urban says Fetterman reminds him a lot of former Senator Arlen Specter. Could Fetterman ever switch to the Republican Party? Urban urges Pennsylvanians to vote—including in the state's U.S. Senate race—arguing Republican candidate Dave McCormick is the type of person you want to see in the White House one day. PLUS Urban reveals that he was the one who taught J.D. Vance how to properly order a cheesesteak at Pat's—but the Philadelphia Inquirer lied about it! 3:30pm- According to reports, Independent Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to drop out of the race on Friday. He'll make the announcement in Phoenix, Arizona—the same city Donald Trump will be campaigning in. ABC News says Kennedy has not officially made a decision to endorse the Trump-Vance campaign. 3:40pm- If Robert Kennedy Jr. drops out of the race, how will his absence impact critical swing states? According to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Donald Trump gets a 0.8 point boost in Arizona, a 0.5 point boost in Wisconsin, a 0.4 point boost in Michigan, and a 2.2 point boost in Pennsylvania. 4:05pm- Congressman Michael Waltz—U.S. Representative for Florida's 6th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show from the Trump Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. During the conversation, Rep. Waltz discusses the near assassination attempt of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th. Waltz, who is taking part in the Congressional investigation, said of the shooter: “I'm not convinced he acted alone.” 4:15pm- Robert Corn-Revere—Chief Counsel for FIRE (the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression)—joins The Rich Zeoli to discuss why “Woodrow Wilson may be America's WORST-EVER president for free speech.” You can learn more about FIRE here: https://www.thefire.org/ 4:30pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Phillip Gordan, Kamala Harris's foreign policy advisor. Concerningly, Gordan has been consistently wrong with his foreign policy agenda and has developed a troublingly close relationship with the current Iranian regime. Dr. Coates's upcoming book is: “Winning the War on Israel: Inside the Battle for the Jewish State and America.” 5:00pm- Dr. EJ Antoni—Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a newly revised Labor Department jobs report which indicates there were 818,000 fewer jobs created in March than initially estimated—an estimation off by nearly 30%. 5:20pm- Cheesesteak Talk: Rich contends that provolone is the best cheesesteak cheese…Matt thinks it's “whiz”…and Andrew is going provolone…This is riveting radio! 5:25pm- During the DNC Convention on Tuesday night, Second-Gentleman Doug Emhoff—the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris—told boring stories of how he and Harris first met. As Rich notes, the story everyone really wanted to hear was how Emhoff cheated on his first wife with the family's nanny! 5:30pm- Donald Trump Jr.—Executive Vice President at The Trump Organization—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown what he has seen so far at the Democratic National Committee Convention in Chicago, Illinois. He explains that although the Harris-Walz campaign is disingenuously pandering to Pennsylvanians, and they can't be trusted to follow through on their promises—particularly when it comes to the campaign's new claim that Kamala Harris no longer wants to ban fracking. “The media is running full cover for Kamala Harris—pretending that she's a moderate. They're going back and scrubbing articles that are years old—editing, changing them.” He continues, “In Pennsylvania they did this last time. Remember the 2020 Democrat Primary, Kamala Harris and everyone else on the stage raised their hand, they were going to ban fracking. Joe Biden said the same exact thing. And then they get to the debate with Trump: ‘I would never do that'—because they understand it would hurt them in Pennsylvania. Then on day one they banned the Key Stone pipeline. They'll tell you whatever they need to tell you to get your vote and then they'll do the opposite.” Plus, Don Jr. answers the most important question: what's the best cheese for a cheesesteak? 5:45pm- According to reports, Independent Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to drop out of the race on Friday. He'll make the announcement in Phoenix, Arizona—the same city Donald Trump will be campaigning in. ABC News says Kennedy has not officially made a decision to endorse the Trump-Vance campaign. 5:50pm- If Robert Kennedy Jr. drops out of the race, how will his absence impact critical swing states? According to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Donald Trump gets a 0.8 point boost in Arizona, a 0.5 point boost in Wisconsin, a 0.4 point boost in Michigan, and a 2.2 point boost in Pennsylvania. 6:05pm- Congressman Michael Waltz—U.S. Representative for Florida's 6th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show from the Trump Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. During the conversation, Rep. Waltz discusses the near assassination attempt of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th. Waltz, who is taking part in the Congressional investigation, said of the shooter: “I'm not convinced he acted alone.” 6:30pm- Linda Kerns—Attorney & Election Integrity Expert—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the 2024 presidential election and protecting the vote throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Kerns explains the importance of Republicans taking advantage of the mail-in ballot option. Plus, Kerns recaps recently speaking at Donald Trump's rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in front of 10,000 people! Visit https://protectthevote.com/pennsylvania/ to learn more about volunteering.

EPISODE 193: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: CNN's betrayal of journalism, democracy and America by giving Trump editorial control over part of its primetime next Wednesday has actually gotten worse. It is intended by Trump as a precursor to a "jump start" of his relationship with the new management of CNN, and it may be intended by CNN as a precursor to a pronounced lurch to the right in primetime - maybe even an 8 PM show featuring former Tucker Carlson employee Kaitlan Collins. Barely anybody noticed that the start time for the New Hampshire "Town Hall" next week suddenly shifted from 9 PM EDT to 8 PM EDT and if you think that's trivial, think again. 8 PM is suddenly the Wild West of cable news. There are between a million and a million-and-a-half disaffected Tucker Carlson viewers looking for a new home and the signs are all there: CNN's Chris Licht wants their new home to be CNN. The network's primetime is in disarray (no CNN show is in the Top 25; the network just lost the 'ad demo' ratings to MSNBC for the first time in four years) and there would be no hesitation to shift Anderson Cooper from 8 to some later hour. There's more bad news. CNN Political Director David Chalian, living in terror of losing another job to Republican complaints, again underscores the network's intent to treat Trump no differently than any other candidate - as if there were true in any universe. And while there are finally blowbacks from within CNN against Licht's looming disaster, CNN Contributor and January 6 victim Michael Fanone says he wrote an Op-Ed for CNN's website comparing giving Trump this time on CNN to giving a deranged person an AR-15 - and CNN won't publish it. B-Block (15:53) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Another News/TV News story continues to unfold. Most people seem to have gotten over the visceral shock of seeing Carlson assert "It isn't how white men fight" and understood that it's not the comment that got him fired but the prospect of Carlson being forced to read it aloud in court (and sending shock waves through the Fox Board and the cable carriers from which Murdoch is trying to get more money). But I'm still hearing two questions: Who leaked the text (and all those Carlson outtake videos) and Why? The Who is obvious: it's Fox. The Why should be just as clear: to dirty Carlson up. And how do I know all this? Because it's been done to me by my immediate-previous employer SIX TIMES in my career: in radio, in local TV, twice in cable sports, twice in cable news.  C-Block (28:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Since we're on the subject of cable and TV News and Fox and dirtying things up: what I learned from going out on two dates with Laura Ingraham. The second of them was a quarter of a century ago, just about this time of year. I'll let you know when I recover from it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is one of final thoughts on Richard Nixon. Our thoughts cover a number of areas.   We start with the shameful treatment he received from the national news media and how they have actively worked to keep the public in the dark on the  facts of Watergate. This was a problem both when it occurred and even today as an enormous amount of easily verifiable documentation has come to light that has exposed misconduct across the board by just about every entity involved in the Watergate story. We will look at the current status of the prosecutorial misconduct complaint that was received last year at the United States Justice Department and continue to encourage you to weigh in on the case so it is not swept under the rug. We also examine, as best we could, the one lingering question that we felt we never fully resolved from our 144 episode examination of this historic period of American History. Why did a man as revered as John Doar, Chief Counsel to the House Judiciary Committee,  decide not to investigate on his own the material provided to him by the Watergate Special Prosecutor's Office?  It appears to be an elusive question if you believe as I do that people do not suddenly become dishonest. There is no history of John Doar being anything other than an honorable man. So we asked six experts on Watergate, who either lived through it, or studied it extensively as historians: Bob Bostock, writer of much of the exhibits located at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, Dwight Chapin, President Richard Nixon's right hand man and appointments Secretary during most of his Presidency, Geoff Shepard, the author of three outstanding books on Watergate and widely recognized as the World's leading expert on it, and three historians Michael Koncewicz , of NYU and author of "They Said No to Nixon"Kevin Kruse, of Princeton University currently working on a biography of John Doar,Tim Naftali,  the former Director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and a CNN Contributor.All six of them were gracious enough to  either answer me directly or pointed me to material that would be of assistance.Then we move on to open ended mysteries, like the involvement of the intelligence agencies in the overall story of Watergate, and the exculpatory nature of the actual tapes that are now far more readily available to the public in places like Nixontapes.org run by historian Luke Nichter or his two outstanding books on the subject matter.  ( The Nixon Tapes 1971 - 1972 and The Nixon Tapes 1973  http://lukenichter.com ) Finally we will look back on this greatest of World Leaders who so fundamentally changed the world we live in today. As we recount his many achievements including the most important one. An effort, that has probably touched the lives of everyone on Earth in one way or the other.  For it was Richard Nixon, 37th President of the United States, that poured billions of dollars into Cancer Research that has changed the diagnosis of this deadly set of diseases from a death sentence into a chance for life. It is here at the end of this epic five  season podcast documentary, that we make our final case that Richard Nixon belongs among the pantheon of our greatest leaders alongside  George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!
