Over the weekend, the Pentagon announced that three US service members were killed as fighting intensified between the US and Iran. That brings the current death toll for US military personnel engaged in the war to 17. And with news from the New York Times that the Pentagon has been hesitant to share more information about further casualties. It's clear that the Iran war is far from ending, and may even be spiraling out of control. So to talk more about Trump's war of choice, we spoke with Mehdi Hasan. He's the editor-in-chief and CEO of Zeteo.And in headlines, US senators are pushing for more details about ICE's vetting practices for new agents, Troy Jackson, a fifth-generation logger, is almost certain to become the Democratic Senate nominee in Maine, and President Trump tries to steal the spotlight from Spain after the FIFA World Cup final.Show Notes: Check out Zeteo Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

Trump delivers an incomprehensible prime-time address to push election interference conspiracy theories, both old and new. Dan and Jon attempt to make sense of the speech and discuss what Trump's focus on election interference could spell for the midterms. They check in on three major corrupdates from the last 48 hours — Kalshi teleprompter bets, early access to Trump's Truths for Wall Street, and JD Vance using his helicopter for his son's golf lessons — as well as Vance's awkward appearance on Joe Rogan and Pete Hegseth's attempt to get the military on testosterone supplements. Then, Abdul El-Sayed talks to Alex Wagner about his heated primary for Michigan's Democratic Senate nomination.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

New York City has officially approved Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rent-freeze plan for roughly one million rent-stabilized apartments, delivering a major political victory for the progressive mayor while igniting fierce debate over the future of the city's housing market. Supporters argue the freeze will provide desperately needed relief for renters struggling with the nation's highest housing costs. Critics warn it could discourage investment, accelerate building deterioration, reduce available housing, and ultimately drive rents even higher for everyone else. Dennis Kneale, best-selling author and acclaimed journalist (his latest book is Ore-Goners, has previously anchored at CNBC and Fox Business after senior roles at The Wall Street Journal and Forbes. Dennis left New York City after 40 years when Zohran Mamdani took office, and is now scheduled to join me to discuss his thoughts on the rent freeze and what it really means for New York (and anyone else who tries the same thing).President Trump addressed the nation on Thursday night, touching on many topics, but the primary focus was on election integrity. Predictably, the left broke out the old talking points, many of which are not directly connected to the reveals and document releases. Still, the left took it so far as NBC and ABC refusing to air the address at all, claiming that they did not wish to give the President a platform to "spread misinformation." (Don't be surprised if the FCC doesn't have a thing or two to say about that.) Maine's Democratic Senate race has been a debacle from the jump. With Graham Platner finally out of the race, the Democratic Party is scrambling for a replacement, and as part of that effort, they held a debate between some of the most likely replacements for Platner, and the only winners were the people who didn't watch. These topics and more will be on the table as I am joined by Becky Noble, a journalist at Red State and the author of Substack's Gumshoe Politics.Save Our Cities: https://saveourcities.org/Oregoners: How One State Chased Away Businesses and People: https://amzn.to/3T7fs1AWhat's Bugging Me: https://ricochet.com/?s=What%27s+Bugging+MeBecky Noble at Red State: https://redstate.com/author/beckynoble Gumshoe Politics: https://gumshoepolitics.substack.com/Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/supportAimee's Audios Subliminal Acoustic Fingerprinting: https://www.aimeesaudios.com/If recent events have proven anything, you need to be as prepared as possible for when things go sideways.

Today we're coming to you from a very smoky studio in Detroit as Canadian wildfire haze pushes Detroit's air quality off the charts. Should we Blame Canada? (With all apologies to South Park) From there, Norris delivers last rites for the "Yzerplan" and we talk through why the Red Wings have now slid to the fifth of five sports team in a city where the Lions, Pistons, Tigers – and now Detroit City FC – are commanding the spotlight. Speaking of DCFC, I was at the groundbreaking for their new stadium at Michigan and 20th. We unpack what a nearly $200 million means for Corktown, Mexicantown, small businesses, and the club. We close with an update on the Democratic Senate primary between Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed – digging into new polling, the massive outside money advantage, Obama's importance in the politics of black voters and Detroiters, and the real enthusiasm and messaging gaps shaping this race on the ground. Full Rundown: 00:39 - Insane Canadian Wildfire Smoke in Detroit 04:22 - The Steve Yzerplan is Dead 08:37 - Detroit City FC Stadium Groundbreaking 16:40 - Stevens vs. El-Sayed Democratic Senate Primary Update As always, I'd love to hear what you think: DailyDetroit@gmail.com or 313-789-3211.

Abdul El-Sayed, the self-described socialist neck-and-neck for the Democratic Senate nomination in Michigan, releases tax returns showing he and his wife made nearly $700K last year — despite years spent solely in public-sector jobs. The panel digs into his "defund the police" rhetoric (while he pays for armed private security), the Israel/AIPAC fight roiling his primary against Haley Stevens, and his pick for Senate Majority Leader: Chris Van Hollen, whose own record includes defending a Senate candidate's Nazi tattoo, championing a deported MS-13 gang member, and endorsing Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor.

In this opening segment of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James provides updates on the upcoming South Carolina primary elections, clarifying voter eligibility rules from the State Election Commission. He voices strong frustration with the state legislature's persistent refusal to close primaries, arguing that allowing Democrats to vote in Republican primaries is a result of influence from Democratic donors and lobbyists. James outlines the key election dates—including filing deadlines, early voting, and the primary on August 11th—before previewing an upcoming interview with Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Annie Andrews. Finally, he previews President Trump's upcoming national address on election integrity, warning that Trump must remain highly disciplined to withstand inevitable media scrutiny, before teasing an upcoming segment on Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
Trump has officially scrapped the disastrous MOU, put Iran back on notice, and unleashed devastating US military strikes on Kish Island!
In this segment, host Charlie James addresses a listener query regarding the FBI's presence at the late Senator Lindsey Graham's home, attributing it to standard operating procedure for the passing of a sitting Senator. He discusses potential candidates emerging for the open seat, specifically highlighting rumors that President Donald Trump plans to endorse Russell Fry, who aligns with Trump's policy agenda. James then dissects South Carolina election statute 7-11-50, clarifying that its restrictions on replacing deceased nominees do not disqualify Fry or Representative William Timmons since both were nominated via primary elections rather than alternative party conventions. He details tentative dates for the special election, reports on active Department of Justice reviews of alleged state primary violations, and previews an upcoming Thursday interview with Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Annie Andrews, concluding with a look ahead to President Trump's upcoming televised national address.
On the July 14, 2026 edition of The Charlie James Show (Hour 1), host Charlie James navigates a busy afternoon of political and economic updates. The program begins with a discussion surrounding the death of Senator Lindsey Graham and the swearing-in of South Carolina's interim U.S. Senator. James then shifts focus to local legislative matters, discussing South Carolina primary laws and ongoing federal claims alongside previews of upcoming national events, including a highly anticipated address by Donald Trump. Additionally, the show previews an upcoming interview with Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Annie Andrews. Finally, the hour wraps up with positive economic reporting on cooling inflation rates and the foreign policy implications of a new targeted maritime blockade by President Trump.

Congress is back in DC and a lot has changed since they left two weeks ago. The sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has sent ripples through the Senate, along with the continued absence of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Gov. Henry McMaster (R-SC) nominated Darlene Graham Nordone to take Sen. Graham's place for now. Meanwhile, President Trump says the US is resuming its blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. And the latest from Campaign 2026 on the Democratic Senate races in Maine & Michigan.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles reveal what they argue is Donald Trump's true guiding principle: not policy, power, or ideology, but an unrelenting pursuit of attention. From Trump's NATO performance and the mystery surrounding his abandoned Qatari "Grift Force One" to the latest twists in E. Jean Carroll's legal victory, they examine how personality continues to shape the presidency. They also break down the collapse of Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Plattner's campaign, what it says about authenticity in modern politics, and the growing intrigue surrounding Mitch McConnell's unexplained absence from public view. Along the way, Wolff offers fresh reporting from inside Trump's orbit and argues that understanding Trump's psychology remains the key to understanding the decisions that keep reshaping American politics.

Two stories broke in the same news cycle, and both are gut punches for anyone who cares about accountability. In Maine, Democratic Senate candidate and former Marine Graham Platner has withdrawn after a Nazi tattoo, ugly online history, and rape allegations from two women who went on the record. Paul was skeptical from day one — and lays out why Platner ducked every veteran interviewer who might have pressed him, why the progressive left keeps chasing candidates who look the part instead of doing the work, and why Maine, one of the most independent states in the country, deserved better than a binary between a compromised Democrat and Susan Collins. Then there's Iran. The so-called ceasefire was never real. Trump is now floating boots on the ground, still talking about hitting Cuba, and managed to blow up relations with Japan, Zelensky, and Putin in a single day. This is President Mayhem at peak volume — all gas, no brakes — with 50,000 U.S. troops in harm's way, 40% of the Navy in the region, and the Iranian regime emboldened. Paul explains why this is Trump's forever war, why Congress likely can't stop it, and what listeners can actually do about it before the December defense bill vote. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid covers Graham Platner, the embattled Democratic Senate nominee in Maine, officially suspending his campaign yesterday amid mounting controversies and growing calls from top Democrats in his home state, in the nation's capital, and across the country for him to immediately quit the race. In other news of the day, the U.S. military launched a second night of airstrikes on key Iranian targets as President Donald Trump says the ceasefire appears to be"over," and former Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared on The View to display her true anti-Semitic colors.

Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has officially dropped out of the Maine Senate race following back-to-back bombshell reports. Here is a breakdown of the sudden exit.
Democrats have spent the past year using the Epstein issue as a platform for moral outrage, demanding transparency, accountability, and consequences for powerful people who looked the other way. But the Graham Platner scandal exposes the same selective blindness inside their own political operation. Platner was elevated as an authentic, populist Democratic Senate candidate despite serious warning signs, public controversies, and disturbing allegations that eventually made him politically radioactive. The central hypocrisy is not that Democrats were wrong to pursue Epstein accountability, but that they preached about institutional protection and survivor-centered justice while tolerating a deeply flawed candidate when he was useful to their own electoral goals.The collapse of support for Platner only came after the scandal became impossible to manage, making the party's moral posture look more like damage control than principle. If Democrats argue that proximity, silence, enabling, and ignored red flags matter in the Epstein world, then those same standards must apply in their own backyard. Endorsements are transfers of credibility, and the politicians who boosted Platner cannot simply walk away once the cost becomes too high. The larger point is that selective morality poisons public trust: a party cannot credibly condemn coverups and institutional cowardice while excusing its own version of political convenience, delayed outrage, and strategic blindness.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles break down the latest clues to what's really driving Donald Trump, from his attempts to influence FIFA and his obsession with being at the center of every spectacle to the staggering financial windfall he's reaped from his crypto empire while hundreds of thousands of investors have collectively lost billions. They also unpack the scandal engulfing Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner, Trump's instinctive defense of embattled public figures, the changing rules of modern politics, the future of NATO as Trump heads into another high-stakes summit, and why Michael believes Democrats still haven't figured out how to capture the country's moral attention in the Trump era.

Democrats have spent the past year using the Epstein issue as a platform for moral outrage, demanding transparency, accountability, and consequences for powerful people who looked the other way. But the Graham Platner scandal exposes the same selective blindness inside their own political operation. Platner was elevated as an authentic, populist Democratic Senate candidate despite serious warning signs, public controversies, and disturbing allegations that eventually made him politically radioactive. The central hypocrisy is not that Democrats were wrong to pursue Epstein accountability, but that they preached about institutional protection and survivor-centered justice while tolerating a deeply flawed candidate when he was useful to their own electoral goals.The collapse of support for Platner only came after the scandal became impossible to manage, making the party's moral posture look more like damage control than principle. If Democrats argue that proximity, silence, enabling, and ignored red flags matter in the Epstein world, then those same standards must apply in their own backyard. Endorsements are transfers of credibility, and the politicians who boosted Platner cannot simply walk away once the cost becomes too high. The larger point is that selective morality poisons public trust: a party cannot credibly condemn coverups and institutional cowardice while excusing its own version of political convenience, delayed outrage, and strategic blindness.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Submit media fails you see, and get facts, links, images and more at TheyStandCorrected.substack.com. Join the fight for truth by becoming a Founding Member. Two mainstream news giants are using recent screwups to pretend to care about ethics and guidelines. One is NPR, where iconic reporter Nina Totenberg falsely reported that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was retiring. The other is the New York Times, where sports journalist Diana Russini has left the company following a so-called “scandal” involving her relationship with an NFL figure and her actions during a traffic stop. Today, Josh digs into these stories and explains what they expose about the hypocrisy of Big Media. It's as though news agencies are showing great concern about a smudge on a penthouse window, while ignoring the fact that the entire building is on a shaky foundation. Then, a look at America at 250. Virtually every country promises freedom of expression, including press freedom, in its constitution. What distinguishes democracies is the system that gives the people the power to enforce it. It’s up to every generation to carry on that fight. Josh explains why that makes today’s media failures so inexcusable. He cites how the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner and a joke from Obama factor in. Plus, a new breaking twist in the saga of the disastrous Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, Graham Platner. Why that isn't just a political story — it's a media story.

We are waiting for Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner to make it official, now that key supporters are lining up, publicly urging him to drop out of his race to unseat longtime Maine senator Susan Collins. Platner posted a 2 minute video denying explosive, new allegations from a former girlfriend who claims Platner raped her back in 2021 after showing up, uninvited to her home, violent and drunk. Platner cancelled multiple public events over the weekend and announced that he is taking time to reflect on the best path forward, while maintaining his innocence. This is the most egregious accusation against Platner, after several other women stepped forward in the days leading up to his primary, describing “unsettling” behavior from him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's Headlines: The US lost to Belgium 4-1 in the World Cup Round of 16 despite Trump personally calling FIFA to get Balogun's red card suspension reversed, which worked, and Belgium won anyway — so the meddling was both successful and pointless. On the election beat, Graham Platner, who won Maine's Democratic Senate primary a few weeks ago despite a Nazi tattoo is now facing a heavily corroborated sexual assault allegation so severe that nearly every major backer including Hasan Piker and Ro Khanna immediately called for him to drop out — Democrats have until July 27th to find a replacement if he exits by July 13th, which they should probably get moving on since Maine is a must-win Senate seat. In other news, Trump is headed to the NATO summit in Turkey this week, which he only agreed to attend because it's hosted by Erdogan, one of his last real NATO allies, with Netanyahu already lobbying him ahead of arrival to rein in Erdogan's anti-Israel rhetoric. Trump also rang the stock market opening bell from the Oval Office to celebrate the launch of Trump Savings Accounts, which devolved into rants about crypto, Biden, and World Cup red cards, and the preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson — the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk last September — began yesterday in Utah, with Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's parents, Donald Trump Jr., and Jack Posobiec all in the courtroom. Meanwhile, the DOJ accidentally sent the sealed second volume of Jack Smith's classified documents report — the one Trump has spent over a year keeping hidden — to the defense lawyers of the former prosecutor currently being prosecuted for leaking that exact report, and the only reason it's still secret is because her lawyers were more careful with it than the government was. On AI, Meta's AI safety strategy involves paying adults to pretend to be teenagers and feed suicide and sex prompts to competitor chatbots, which they describe as "comprehensive AI safety benchmarking," and OpenAI is reportedly offering the US government a 5% stake in the company. Finally, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral drew over a million people this week while his son and successor Mojtaba — wounded in the airstrike that killed his father — didn't attend any of the ceremonies. It's giving Mitch energy.

David Waldman returns to KITM up this Tuesday. Party Rock Anthem singer Lauren Bennett, RIP. Republican Senator Mitch McConnell…. well, that drum is still rolling as of press time. Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner… his political career seems in worse shape than Mitch's this morning. Platner's making some of his supporters look worse than most Republicans, and that's saying something. Capturing the Senate was always a toughie, but capturing the House might become tough if Dems don't get rid of him soon. As always, ranked choice voting is the answer. Does Donald K. Trump steal everything he can get his hands on because he's demented, or because he's a thief? Evidence supports that Trump is a dim-witted bastard, and a vile, contemptible, deceitful, kleptomaniac. Trump Accounts for Kids is, of course, a heist. Everything Trump touches dies, sometimes before Trump can suck the life out of it. The US national men's soccer team now looks like cheaters and losers because of Trump. Gop Anna Paulina Luna wants the Patriot Front white nationalist group investigated for being secret Democrats. MAGA Laura Loomer, I guess, is a different person?

Bernie Sanders (I-VT) joins the long list of Democrats urging Maine's Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner to end his candidacy after a woman he was dating says he sexually assaulted her five years ago; Gov. Josh Stein (D-NC) signs a state budget bill into law, ending multi-year a stand-off over funding priorities with the Republican-controlled General Assembly; In Great Britain, Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, resigns from Parliament to trigger a special election in which he will be a candidate. He is facing allegations he improperly took millions of pounds in gifts, and says he wants his constituents to be the judges by deciding whether to vote him back in. Learn more about your ad choices.
