Podcast appearances and mentions of Dan Coats

Mel Raines, President and CEO of Pacers Sports & Entertainment, joins the podcast to share her remarkable journey from Capitol Hill to the front office of Indiana's top sports franchises. In this episode, she reveals how a chance internship led to a career in politics, working for Sen. Dan Coats, running major Republican conventions, and ultimately serving as Assistant to Vice President Dick Cheney for Political Affairs.. She shares behind-the-scenes stories of high-stakes moments in Washington, the intensity of presidential transitions, and what it was like inside the White House. Raines also opens up about why she left politics, the challenges of running large-scale events, and how those skills led her to the sports industry. Packed with insight, humor, and a few surprising moments—like when she accidentally hung up on Cheney—this episode is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by politics, leadership, and career pivots.

Donald Trump is using the McDonald's stunt and the 60 Minute attacks to make sure the news media isn't focused on his enemy within threat and his refusal to show up on 60 Minutes. MAGA is so proud of the McDonald's photo op. Former Trump official Dan Coats says Putin is blackmailing Donald. Jim Mattis agrees with Mark Milley. Where are Donald's medical records? The Arnold Palmer story is silly season politics. Democrats are looking strong in the early vote and Kamala leads in most polls. The fuckery of the red wave pollsters. Donald losing support among white women and non-college whites. The Russian disinformation attack continues. Politico continues to normalize the fascist.

Will 2024 be America's last free and fair election?  That ominous warning comes from Stuart Stevens, a former chief Republican strategist whose clients included President George W. Bush; Senators Chuck Grassley, Dick Lugar and Dan Coats; and Governors Haley Barbour, John Kyl, Bill Weld and many others. He says the GOP is dragging our country toward autocracy, and the party is no longer a "normal" political party in the American tradition. Rather, he says it is an autocratic movement masquerading as a political party. As the Republican party changed, Stevens exited his role in one of the country's most influential political strategy firms and joined the Lincoln Project, where he is currently an advisor. Stevens wrote about his fear for the country in his provocative new book, The Conspiracy to End America. In it, he reviews the elements that are necessary for democracies to slide into autocracy, and he examines each of these forces on the modern American right and how they are working together. Are these the last days of the old republic? Or can there be a renewed commitment to democratic governance? Don't miss this talk as Stevens flashes a blinking red distress alert as well as a rallying cry to beat back this threat. Note: This podcast contains explicit language.

"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies." Those seemingly insignificant small decisions influence how we use our time, what we view on the internet, what we read, the art and music with which we surround ourselves, what we seek for entertainment, and how we apply our commitment to being honest and truthful. Another seemingly small and simple thing is being civil and cheerful in our personal interactions. None of these desirable small and simple things will lift us to great things unless they are practiced consistently and continuously." - this excerpt is from a quote from former Senator Dan Coats of Indiana.

Welcome to the end of all things! Join Kyle Mann, Adam Yenser, and beloved Managing Editor Joel Berry for the final podcast in the old studio!

RadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman presents a brand-new, Thursday KITM. News, entertainment, with just a little added touch of sedition: Gregory Glauber Dworkin has the latest polls, which look like previous polls, but moreso. For Donald Trump, the same point gap becomes a bigger hurdle with each passing day. Whites might crack, but at least their vote is more elastic. Nobody’s falling for the “Tough on Crime” message being delivered by criminals. Does Joe Biden have a Latino problem or a Latino Q problem? The more it looks like Donald Trump might be leaving, the more it looks like he might be staying. The election will be contested. Is the FEC, 50 state election security offices, the DHS Election Security division, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, the FBI Foreign Influence Task Force and Dan Coats enough? Probably not. David looks into the procedures in place that will be thrown out the White House window with the couches and drapes on November 4. No one will help Ron Johnson deliver his phoney baloney October Surprise. Mitt Romney did for a while, but after recently putting his morally upright finger in the air, he determined the breeze had shifted. Bill Barr has been working to take up the slack, and hates it when the hired help aren’t fascistic patriots like him. Barr understands the pain that Arby’s managers and slaves have felt. Chief of staff Mark Meadows says CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield couldn’t know about a vaccine, because it’s a surprise. Donald Trump has contacted the military to distribute it with M-16s and hypodermic darts. Donald Trump has been accused of sexual assault by a former model. Yep, another one.

Donald Trump is a murderer. The shocking -- yet, somehow not unexpected -- revelations from Bob Woodward's new book prove that the blood of tens of thousands of Americans is on Trump's hands. Today's episode is all about Woodward's book and Trump's refusal to prepare our country for the Coronavirus' onslaught, even though Trump knew in early February that it could kill over one hundred thousand Americans, and was far worse than the flu. Among the topics: What did Woodward find; what did Trump admit; who else in the White House knew about Trump's lies & malfeasance; why didn't Dan Coats and General Mattis speak up if they thought Trump was so dangerous; and what is wrong with the New York Times? All that and more in a rather angry, but not terribly long, new episode.You can listen to the first half-hour of our show free, then to hear the rest of the show, and support our work, please consider becoming a subscriber over at Patreon, thanks so much.

In this week's edition of Cougar Classics, Mitch and Matt look back at BYU's win over Utah in 2006. BYU was ranked #21 going into this game and capped off their 11-win season with a victory over Oregon in the Las Vegas Bowl. The team featured guys like John Beck, Jonny Harline & Brian Kehl. After jumping off to a 14-0 lead early, BYU fell behind 24-14 going into the 4th. The teams traded blows before Beck found Harline alone in the endzone with 0.0 seconds on the clock. This was a pass-happy team that relied on senior QB John Beck.  Norm Chow Award: Matt and Dallen both agree that this award should go to Dan Coats TD pass in the 4th quarter. Disguised as a goal-line run in a jumbo package, Coats leaked into the flat and put BYU ahead with a TD. Mitch chose Harline's one-handed TD over Eric Weddle in the 4th quarter.  Andrew George Award: Mitch selects Hala Paonga for his pre-game Haka, which set the tone for the game. Matt chose Dan Coats who had 6 receptions for 80 yards and was a reliable target all game. Dallen chose Curtis Brown who despite struggling on the ground early in the game, ran for 47 yards in the 4th and helped spark the BYU offense.

Alle ogen in de Verenigde Staten zijn gericht op de hoorzitting van de Senaat morgen, waarin de door president Trump ontslagen FBI-directeur Comey zal getuigen. Twee vragen staan centraal: heeft Donald Trump hem gevraagd om het onderzoek naar zijn Nationale Veiligheidsadviseur Mike Flynn te staken? En heeft hij hem, zoals Trump beweert, verzekert dat de president zelf niet onderzocht wordt? Maar vandaag waren er ook al interessante getuigen. Namelijk admiraal Mike Rodgers van de geheime dienst NSA en Dan Coats de directeur van alle veiligheidsdiensten. De afgelopen dagen is er beweerd dat president Trump hen ook heeft gebeld met de vraag of zij niet konden zorgen dat Comey ophield met zijn vervelende Rusland-onderzoek. We bellen met VS-correspondent in New York David Hammelburg.
