Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) hasn't been in Congress for very long, but she's transformed the way that Democrats are communicating with voters and energized her colleagues in the party. Crockett is known for her willingness to frankly engage with Republican counterparts from Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green all the way to President Donald Trump. And while some critics in the Democratic Party worry that her way of messaging might alienate swing voters, Crockett says her fellow Democrats are recruiting her to stump for them all over the country. “I think at the end of the day, whether you agree with my style or disagree with my style, I think people respect me for my authenticity,” says Crockett. “They never feel like they're getting someone different. They feel like they know exactly who they're getting.” In this week's episode of The Conversation, Rep. Crockett chats with POLITICO's Dasha Burns about what her colleagues think about her messaging style and the strategies that Democrats need to pursue for victory in the midterms and beyond. She also offers insight into her plans for a possible Senate run. Plus, Jane Coaston, host of Crooked Media's “What A Day” podcast, joins Dasha to talk about the nuances of daily news coverage choices and how mixing politics with sports-like fandom can be a recipe for disaster.
1. Criticism of Gavin Newsom The hosts mock California Governor Gavin Newsom for allegedly misrepresenting his upbringing as impoverished. They highlight his privileged background, connections to the Getty family, and early business ventures. Newsom is portrayed as part of a broader trend of wealthy leftists promoting socialism while living in luxury. 2. Democratic Party and Radicalism The episode argues that the Democratic Party has shifted radically left, embracing socialism and Marxism. Figures like Comrade Mamdani are cited as examples of extreme ideology within the party. The hosts lament the lack of moderate Democrats willing to challenge the radical wing, referencing Bill Maher as a rare voice of reason. 3. Bill Maher’s Commentary Maher is quoted warning Democrats about the dangers of aligning with far-left candidates like Mamdani. He calls for a “Sister Souljah moment,” referencing Bill Clinton’s strategic distancing from radical elements during his campaign. 4. Human Rights in Nigeria Senator Cruz discusses Christian persecution in Nigeria, citing over 50,000 murders since 2009. He criticizes the Nigerian government for corruption and complicity in violence. Proposes sanctions and leveraging U.S. aid to pressure Nigeria into protecting human rights. 5. Recognition of Somaliland The guest, born in Somalia, advocates for U.S. recognition of Somaliland as an independent nation. Somaliland is praised for its democratic governance, stability, and alignment with U.S. values. The argument is framed as a strategic move to counter instability in the Horn of Africa. 6. Bill Gates and Climate Change The hosts poke fun at Bill Gates for allegedly reversing his stance on climate change alarmism. Gates is quoted saying the “doomsday view” is wrong and that other global issues deserve more attention. The episode criticizes climate policies, solar energy failures, and the hypocrisy of elites using private jets. 7. Fracking and U.S. Emissions The hosts credit George Mitchell, a Texas oilman, with pioneering fracking and reducing U.S. carbon emissions. They argue that natural gas has helped the U.S. lead in emission reductions, while China remains the top polluter.

What's really driving the numbers in American politics? Michael Steele tackles the crucial topic of Black voter participation and the strained relationship between the African American community and the Democratic Party. He argues that focusing on superficial "distractions"—like the No Kings Rally—misses the big picture: a significant trend line of shifting engagement. Steele breaks down the implications of events like the handling of the Kamala Harris moment and how it has damaged trust, particularly with Black women.

1. Allegations of Government Surveillance ("Arctic Frost") Senator Cruz claims the Biden administration, via Special Counsel Jack Smith and Judge James Boasberg, conducted surveillance on nine Republican Senators (20% of the GOP in the Senate). The operation allegedly involved 197 subpoenas targeting over 430 Republican individuals and entities, including Turning Point USA and the Republican Attorneys General Association. Cruz asserts that his own phone records were subpoenaed, but AT&T refused to comply, citing constitutional protections. He compares the operation to Watergate, calling it “Joe Biden’s Watergate,” and accuses Judge Boasberg of partisan abuse of power, calling for his impeachment. 2. Government Shutdown The podcast talks about the ongoing government shutdown as the “Schumer shutdown”, blaming Democrats for refusing to fund essential services. Cruz and Ferguson argue that Democrats are intentionally prolonging the shutdown to hurt Americans and blame Republicans, especially Donald Trump. They claim Democrats are withholding food stamps, military pay, and other services to create public pressure. Cruz emphasizes that Republicans have voted multiple times to reopen the government, but Democrats have blocked it. 3. Bill Gates’ Shift on Climate Change The hosts discuss a reported shift in Bill Gates’ stance on climate change, quoting him as saying the “doomsday view of climate change is wrong.” Gates allegedly suggests that while climate change is serious, it is not the most pressing global issue compared to poverty and disease. Cruz uses this to criticize climate alarmism and the policies of the Democratic Party, arguing that radical climate policies have harmed the environment and economy.

Jon Stewart has been a leading figure in political comedy since before the turn of the millennium. But compared to his early years on Comedy Central's “The Daily Show”—when Stewart was merciless in his attacks on George W. Bush's Administration—these are much more challenging times for late-night comedians. Jimmy Kimmel nearly lost his job over a remark about MAGA supporters of Charlie Kirk, after the head of the F.C.C. threatened ABC. CBS recently announced the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's program. And Stewart now finds himself very near the hot seat: Comedy Central is controlled by David Ellison, the Trump-friendly C.E.O. of the recently merged Paramount Skydance. Stewart's contract comes up in December. “You're going to sign another one?” David Remnick asked him, in a live interview at The New Yorker Festival. “We're working on staying,” Stewart said. “You don't compromise on what you do. You do it till they tell you to leave. That's all you can do.” Stewart, moreover, doesn't blame solely Donald Trump for recent attacks on the independence of the media, universities, and other institutions. “This is the hardest truth for us to get at, is that [these] institutions . . . have problems. They do. And, if we don't address those problems in a forthright way, then those institutions become vulnerable to this kind of assault. Credibility is not something that was just taken. It was also lost.” In fact, Stewart also directs his ire at “the Democratic Party, [which] thinks it's O.K. for their Senate to be an assisted-living facility.” “In the general-populace mind, government no longer serves the interests of the people it purports to represent. That's a broad-based, deep feeling. And that helps when someone comes along and goes, ‘The system is rigged,' and people go, ‘Yeah, it is rigged.' Now, he's a good diagnostician. I don't particularly care for his remedy.”This episode was recorded live at The New Yorker Festival, on October 26, 2025. New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

Jennifer Welch, a 51-year-old Texan turned Oklahoman, is radicalizing America one wine mom at a time. The southern podcaster (who might finally be our “Joe Rogan of the Left”) has become an unlikely, fierce critic of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the corrupt Democratic establishment, and unregulated capitalism, which she says “brought us Trump” (I agree). This week, Jennifer and I cross a generational divide to discuss Israel's erosion of the Democratic Party, Ezra Klein's idiotic centrist plea for more anti-abortion Democrats, and how to sell democratic socialism to the masses.

When the hilarious clips of Katie Porter losing her temper went viral, I thought What a great skit that would make on Saturday Night Live. Would they dare? The answer came the following Saturday. Of course not. Why not? Because on the Left, they protect their own. The alignment of culture, media, and the Democrats has been a deadly one for them in all ways. It has caused a mass exodus of people like me fleeing the bubble for more honest and truthful alternative media. It has led to empty theaters across America and a ratings free-fall in cable and network news.Desperate times call for desperate measures, which is why CBS News hired Bari Weiss and why we're just starting to see Hollywood attempt to pull away from the monoculture. But it might be too late. As the lines go in No Country for Old Men, “Well, it's a mess, ain't it, Sheriff?” “Well, if it ain't, it'll do ‘til the mess gets here.”Welcome to No Country for Old Media, where a story as big as Arctic Frost meets deafening silence inside the bubble, where once again, Axios stands alone.Lucky for me, I listen to the Real Clear Politics podcast every day, which is where I first heard about the story. If these guys are alarmed about it, I know it's more than just partisan politics. Carl Cannon, Tom Bevan, and Andrew Walworth are straight shooters. It's a sign of how fast new media is growing that they've now announced they will be joining the Megyn Kelly channel on SiriusXM. Is it worse than Watergate? I think so. But you have to look at the big picture, not just one story. The Democrats' ten-year war to prevent Trump from representing those who voted for him and to deny half the country their right to representation remains one of the biggest scandals in American history. We've never had an administration refuse to step aside because they didn't like the winner and decide for the American people that their votes didn't matter because one side had all of the power. It was never Trump who refused to leave. It was Barack Obama and the America he believed he had forever shaped.Since the Democrats have complete control of the legacy media, they decide what matters. They have manufactured nearly every major crisis where Trump is concerned. So much so that they've inadvertently manifested a Boy Who Cried Wolf scenario for themselves, which is why they're so dangerous now. They are willing to do and say anything to win a war they've already lost. This press conference was ignored by the legacy press, but it's worth listening to. It lays out in shocking detail just how deep the rabbit hole goes.It's No Country for Old Media because they can't cover a story like this, no matter how big it gets. They don't chase the story anymore. Just as Tommy Lee Jones in the movie is always a day late and a dollar short chasing the bad guys and can't save the hero, our old media is too afraid to tell the truth and doesn't get there until much later, if they get there at all. How long did it take them to talk about Joe Biden's cognitive decline? After Nixon thoroughly humiliated the Democrats in 1972, winning every state except Massachusetts, his approval numbers were at an all-time high. Taking down a guy that popular was compelling news for the American people, who watched his approval numbers crash, and then watched him resign over it.A crash like that isn't something you see every day, and it's certainly not the case with Trump. His approvals have been steady because they have been attacking him nonstop. But the legacy media is MIA on all of it. Why? Because they're part of it. It was the massive alignment of power that I finally could see in 2020, which is why I left the Democratic Party. I believed they had too much power and that the election was anything but “free and fair.” I was a Biden voter, but I assumed we would be on a level playing field. We weren't. 2020 was a pivotal year for me and many others. I had been Joe Biden's #1 best gal until the Summer. When the violence began and the legacy media covered it up, it radicalized me, you might say, for the truth. I could see that Trump was gaining ground over that summer, with his five rallies a day and how insane the Left had become. He won Iowa, Ohio, and Florida, which meant that without the way they changed the laws for ballot collecting and counting, he probably would have won. But the election was already over long before election day. That isn't how our elections are supposed to go. Candidates make their case to the people, and the people vote.But the Democrats collected the majority of their ballots before campaigning was even over, which required keeping the public in the dark about many things, like Biden's age — they hid him, as they did Kamala Harris' incompetence. And then, there was the rising fanaticism on the Left and the violence over the Summer. They kept it all hidden from view, just like they're doing now. What I saw was not so much a rigged election as a rigged system. The “Secret bipartisan campaign” in TIME Magazine lays out exactly how widespread this effort was to subvert American democracy. They all believed it was their right to do so. But it never was. They manufactured an illusion to fool the public. It was the legacy media's job to expose those lies. They never did. Not then, not now.Trump might have been unable to lose. His inability to accept the loss might not have been what we want in our leaders. But as a Biden voter who was now horrified and disillusioned with my party and all of American society they controlled, I was grateful Trump took them on. I also knew January 6th was a much too convenient tool to dismiss everything the Democrats did to drag Old Joe over the finish line.Even now, they can't confront their own corruption, or even the plain facts about what Joe Biden did to elbow out competition in 2024, what George Clooney did, what Obama did, and how undemocratic it was to put Kamala Harris in without the voices of the people whose votes should matter more. They don't have to confront it or even talk about it because the legacy media, like Hollywood, like so much of our society, has their backs. It was never about Trump at all. It was about their refusal to step aside and allow America to change. Arctic Frost is an opportunity for them to come clean and admit everything they did to stay in power, and how badly that has hurt them as a party and a movement — how badly it has hurt America — our trust in our institutions and our ability to coexist as a country. Even if the Democrats have destroyed themselves by becoming too corrupt to function, it is how the press became their willing puppets that is the real tragedy here. We don't need more propaganda. We need more truth in our news.Getting there months or years later is not good enough. Things are moving too fast. This country is changing. Technology is changing. It's adapt or die. This is no country for old media. It's time to leave them behind. To quote another line from No Country for Old Men, “You can't stop what's coming. It ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity.” //Tip Jar This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.sashastone.com/subscribe

Hosts Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor dedicate the episode to attacking the ongoing government shutdown, which they consistently label the "Democrat shutdown," now on its 29th day. They feature several Fox News audio clips (Tivo) of Republican leaders, including Senator John Thune and Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, slamming Democrats for using the suffering of American families—specifically SNAP and WIC recipients, and unpaid federal workers—as "leverage" for political gain. The hosts and their guests argue that the Democrats could end the shutdown immediately by passing a clean Continuing Resolution (CR) which they had previously voted for, but refuse to do so to force concessions like providing health care to illegal immigrants and restoring "pork" funding. The episode also touches on President Trump's successful foreign deals and local sports news. Standout Moments: The "Democrat Shutdown" Attack: Senator John Thune delivers a "fiery speech" where he details how the shutdown has hurt real people and notes that Republicans have voted 13 times to fund programs like SNAP, but Democrats have voted no to keep the government closed for leverage. (6:41) The Pork Problem: Senator Mark Wayne Mullen and JD Vance argue that Democrats are holding up the government to force the inclusion of $$1.5$ trillion in funding for waste, fraud, abuse, and health care for illegal immigrants into the reopening bill. (11:24) Democrat Poll Numbers Are Hurting: Fox News analysts discuss polling data showing that the shutdown is hurting Democrats, with the Republican Congress's net approval rating up 12 points with its base and 8 points among Independents. (15:58) New York's SNAP Share: It's revealed that almost 10% of the country's SNAP benefits—nearly $$700$ million of $$8$ billion a month—goes to New York, highlighting the state's significant stake in the funding fight. (16:16) Trump's Trade Successes: The host notes that President Trump was successful in meetings in South Korea and China, with China planning to buy a "ton of soybeans," hopefully emptying farmer's bins. (2:23) World Series Update: Toronto beats the Dodgers 6-1, taking a 3-2 lead in the World Series, with the host enthusiastically pulling for the Dodgers to lose. (4:12) Deer Season is Coming: Outdoors expert Steve Carney shares an incredible story of a large doe returning to his decoy after his first arrow shot hit the window of his ground blind, and gives an update on the upcoming North Dakota and Minnesota rifle openers.

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast NY Rep. Ritchie Torres has a new challenger: Bronx-based teacher and member of the Party for Socialism & Liberation Andre Easton, who joins Bad Faith to talk about his decision to run outside of the Democratic Party and how Zohran's latest campaign moves -- such as retaining NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch -- might illustrate the risks of running within the duopoly. Is it possible to be in solidarity with Palestinian liberation while allying with liberal Zionists? As Andre asks, is the left fighting to get a good guy elected in a bad system? Or are we fighting for a system that doesn't tolerate "bad guys" to exist within it? What does "success" look like to an outsider insurgent campaign, and how can a leftist like Andre compete without the public financing and rank choice voting dynamics that benefited Mamdani?

The New Yorker staff writer Andrew Marantz joins Tyler Foggatt for the latest installment of “How Bad Is It?,” a regular checkup on the health of American democracy. Their guests are the Rutgers historians Mark Bray and Yesenia Barragan, a married couple who recently left the United States after Bray became the target of a right-wing doxing campaign. Bray and Barragan share the events leading up to their decision to leave the country with their family, including the death threats that followed Bray's addition to a right-wing “professor watch list” and the portrayal of his work in conservative media as promoting political violence. Bray, who is the author of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” also speaks with Tyler and Andrew about his research into militant antifascism and how those ideas resonate in Donald Trump's second Presidential term. They discuss the debates his work has sparked over political violence, free speech, and how his arguments about antifascism challenge conventional ideas of liberalism and academic freedom.

Good day and welcome to day 30 of the MAGA government shutdown. Donald continues to screw his own people. The government shutdown will reduce U.S. economic output by up to $14 billion. Donald ordered nuclear tests. Sleep tight, America. This might be another thing he blurts that goes nowhere. DOJ has indicted Kat Abughazaleh. Ken Paxton is suing Tylenol. Mark Levin joins Roger Stone in condemning Bannon's third term remarks. Donald is in deep trouble with independent voters. Most Americans oppose the demolition of the East Wing.

With just one week until Election Day in New York City, we're reflecting on the past and future of the Democratic Party, Gracie Mansion, and the political home of mayoral hopeful, Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani is a Democratic Socialist, having campaigned alongside and accepted donations from members of the Democratic Socialists of America, a group with a clear, parasitic strategy towards the Democratic establishment and post-colonial West. What does this mean for our political parties? If successful, what does it mean for New York? And for our country? James Kirchick is a journalist and the New York Times-bestselling author of Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington and The End of Europe: Dictators, Demagogues, and the Coming Dark Age. A contributing opinion writer to the New York Times, a writer at large for Air Mail, and a contributor to the Axel Springer Global Reporters Project, he has reported from over 40 countries and his writing has appeared in many publications including the Atlantic, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal.Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

1. Radicalization of the Democratic Party The hosts argue that the Democratic Party has moved from moderate liberalism (e.g., Bill Clinton) to embracing far-left ideologies. They claim that figures like Mamdani, AOC, and Bernie Sanders represent a dangerous shift toward communism and anti-American sentiment. 2. Criticism of Zohran Mamdani Cruz and Ferguson scrutinize Mamdani’s background, including his father’s academic statements and Mamdani’s own comments post-9/11. They interpret Mamdani’s remarks as lacking patriotism and empathy for 9/11 victims. They highlight Mamdani’s association with controversial figures, including Imam Siraj Wahaj, whom they label as a jihadist. 3. Media and Political Hypocrisy The podcast mocks media outrage over President Trump building a ballroom at the White House while allegedly ignoring more serious issues like Mamdani’s political rise. They accuse Democrats of failing to police their own party and enabling extremism. 4. Gavin Newsom and Elite Hypocrisy Newsom is portrayed as a privileged elitist pretending to be a man of the people. His political persona is compared to Mamdani’s, with both accused of promoting Marxist policies under a polished public image. 5. Bill Maher’s Critique Bill Maher is cited as a liberal voice warning Democrats about the dangers of embracing far-left candidates like Mamdani. His comments are used to support the podcast’s argument that even mainstream liberals are alarmed by the party’s direction. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
