Ralph speaks with Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff for Colin Powell, about the fall of the American Empire and self-proclaimed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. Then we welcome the CEO and co-founder of the Canadian-based organization Corporate Knights, Toby Heap, to break down Trump's unprecedented trade war with our closest ally. Plus, Ralph has some choice words for Hakeem Jeffries and his meeting with Jared Kushner and for Hillary Clinton and her take on the war with Iran.Lawrence Wilkerson is a retired U.S. Army colonel. Over his 31 years of service, Colonel Wilkerson served as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff from 2002 to 2005, and Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989 to 1993. Colonel Wilkerson also served as Deputy Director and Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia, and for fifteen years he was the Distinguished Visiting Professor of Government and Public Policy at the College of William and Mary. He is currently a Senior Fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network, senior advisor to the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and co-founder of the All-Volunteer Force Forum.Two-thirds of the world now thinks that we are an enemy of their state. Two-thirds of the world. And it happens to be the two-third that has the greatest amount of the GDP in the world.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonI've lived for 81 years, almost 82, and I've watched my country go to hell right in front of my face… And the billionaires who want all of this to happen, they do not want a democracy. A democracy is fallible. A democracy can't beat China. A democracy can't beat Russia. A democracy can't even beat Iran. They want a technocracy that is run by them, armed by them, technical revolution by them. They want all of this, and oh by the way they want to live to 150 while they're doing it too.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonEvery freaking hour they create a series of war crimes in Iran. Every freaking hour they perpetrate war crimes in the Persian Gulf. Every freaking hour they perpetrate war crimes in Lebanon with Israel. “What's new?,” I want to say. We are a criminal state. There is no other way to describe it. We are a criminal state. We pay no attention whatsoever to domestic or international law. Only when it benefits the person who is doing the deed do we pay any attention at all.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonToby Heaps is the CEO and co-founder of Corporate Knights, and Editor-in-Chief of Corporate Knights magazine. He spearheaded the first global ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations in 2005, and in 2007 coined the term “clean capitalism.”What we're seeing is a sort of political physics—for every action is an equal and opposite reaction. Canada has in many ways benefited and rallied around our nationhood. We're often not the most boisterous or loudest type of folks. But this continued disrespect for our statehood and the continued attacks and the unreasonableness and the unfair play, our prime minister said something to the effect of: when the United States signs something, it's in pencil. It's really denigrating the United States' reputation globally and in Canadians' minds.Toby HeapsNews 8/28/26* This week, the left-wing insurgency in the Democratic Party scored several new victories. First, NBC reports that in Oklahoma, N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Markwayne Mullin, who Trump selected to lead the Department of Homeland Security following the resignation of Secretary Kristi Noem. Thomas will go up against Republican Congressman Kevin Hern in November. Unfortunately, Thomas stands little chance of winning the state, which has not elected a Democratic Senator since 1990. Thomas is a member of the Chickasaw Nation and identifies as a Democratic Socialist, but is “not yet” a member of DSA.* Next, in California, Democracy Now! reports progressive state lawmaker Aisha Wahab has prevailed in the special election to fill the seat vacated by disgraced former Congressman Eric Swalwell. This piece notes that Wahab “overcame a flood of attack ads from pro-Israel groups,” which sought to bolster her Democratic primary rival, Melissa Hernandez. In an interview, Wahab said that she “appreciates” voters in her district for “seeing through” the “lies that were spread by AIPAC.” Wahab will make history as the first Afghan American in Congress and has called for the United States to engage with the Taliban government and attempt to “[steer] them in the right direction” on human rights.* In Georgia, the Hill reports another progressive – Everton Blair – won the special election to fill the seat of Congressman David Scott, who passed away in April during his 12th term in the seat. Blair, the former chair of the Gwinnett County School Board, defeated Scott's daughter Marcye Scott. However, Blair will only represent this seat until the end of the year. Beginning in January, State Rep. Jasmine Clark, who won the May primary, will fill the seat for the 120th Congress.* Meanwhile, in the Cornhusker State, the Nebraska Examiner reports that the “Legal Marijuana NOW U.S. Senate candidate Mike Marvin announced he can't put more ‘energy' into the Senate race because of health issues and endorsed nonpartisan U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn.” Marvin will remain on the ballot, but is “urging all who supported [him] to now support…Osborn.” This piece notes that this announcement comes on heels of reporting by Flatwater Free Press showing that two staffers from Osborn's 2024 independent Senate campaign joined the Legal Marijuana NOW executive board and sought to dissolve the party from the inside. This, combined with the fact that former Democratic Senate nominee Cindy Burbank paid Mike Marvin's $1,740 candidate filing fee and dropped out of the race one day after the secretary of state verified Osborn's signatures to be on the fall ballot has fueled speculation that these were coordinated efforts to clear the field for Osborn. Marvin for his part disputes this and says he never planned to leave the race. Osborn is quoted saying “We hope to earn the support of the LMN voters and hope that we can represent their concerns well in the US Senate.”* In more third party news, Trump has launched new broadsides against the emerging ex-MAGA clique – consisting of Tucker Carlson, Congressman Thomas Massie, and former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. According to the Hill, Trump attacked the group, said to be exploring the possibility of founding a new right-wing party, calling Carlson “a loser,” Greene “a highly neurotic woman” and Massie a “real JERK” on Truth Social. The president added, “What a team this would be, THREE LOSERS, and a pocketful of change!...The only chance they have is to join the Radical Left Dumocrats, and try breaking into the Primary System. To all of them I say, PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!” The proximate cause of this latest flare-up between the camps is Trump's decision to allow in 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to be imported in the next 90 days, a move Massie called “worse than socialism.” Greene, who has been perhaps the most vocal defector from the MAGA camp, said “He attacks us with such vitriol because we actually are everything he claimed to be…he has proven as President that he is nothing more than a neocon puppet for Israel, corporations, big donors with special interests, and his dear friends in the Epstein class…We never changed, Trump did.”* Another story from this side of the aisle comes to us from NOTUS, which reports that an “unknown actor” has stolen over $16,000 from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). This incident, alternatively characterized as a “theft” from a “foreign country” or simply a “fraud,” occurred in early July, when the NRCC “attempted to pay a bill from Ranger Wi-Fi Consulting, a Texas-based firm that specializes in helping clients ‘optimize their wireless networks while ensuring healthy security measures are in place.'” Seeking to assuage the fears of donors, NRCC spokesman Will Kiley told the press that “Protecting donor funds is a top priority for the NRCC,” and vowed that the committee is “working to recover the funds, and…taken steps to ensure it can't happen again.” Listeners might remember that in July, the DNC admitted that they had fallen prey to a scammer, losing almost $30,000 in the process. It would seem that these committees do not have functional safeguards against such schemes.* Our final stories this week all deal with the Middle East. First up, Axios reports that while AIPAC was gearing up for a major ad blitz in Michigan against Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed and on behalf of Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers, those plans have apparently been iced at the behest of the Rogers campaign. According to this story, Rogers believes that AIPAC spending in the Democratic primary – over $30 million on behalf of El-Syed's rival Haley Stevens – actually helped boost El-Sayed's candidacy, making his opposition to AIPAC a “centerpiece of his…campaign, using the group's spending against him to portray Democratic opponent Haley Stevens as beholden to the pro-Israel lobby.” Rogers fears the same fate, so he has sought to keep his distance from AIPAC while his allies are urging AIPAC to “get involved without putting the group's name front and center.” However, Rogers' attempts to put some daylight between his campaign and AIPAC has resulted in the latter turning cold towards the Republican candidate. Republicans now worry that AIPAC will “sit out the general election entirely.” As for the perception of AIPAC in Michigan, a recent poll found that “55% of Michigan voters oppose continued U.S. aid to Israel.”* On the other end of the Michigan political spectrum, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding that he “ensure the immediateand permanent release of U.S. citizen Sama Safi, a 20-year-old university student with a severe complex chronic health condition, who the Israeli military has arbitrarily and wrongfully detained since June 2nd.” This letter goes on to describe how “armed Israeli soldiers raided her family's home in the occupied West Bank in the middle of the night and tore her from her family,” and that since then, she has “suffered under appalling conditions in Israeli military detention including “frequent physical assault, shackling, and the throwing of gas and stun grenades into already overcrowded and poorly ventilated cells,” among other horrors. 40 more members of Congress signed this letter, including six senators, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey and Chris Van Hollen among them. 85 civic groups also signed onto this demand, ranging from faith-based groups to human rights organizations and beyond.* In the region itself, a broad coalition of Muslim states – including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and, perhaps most notably, the United Arab Emirates – have issued a categorical condemnation of Israel's new “E1” settlement plan. This plan relates to new settlement activities east of occupied East Jerusalem and the signatories decry the plan as constituting “a dangerous escalation that further advances settlement expansion and annexation and undermines the geographical contiguity of the Occupied Palestinian Territory…thereby threatening the viability and realization of an independent, contiguous Palestinian State based on the 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.” The UAE was the most significant state in the region to sign onto the Trump-brokered Abraham Accords in 2020, which sought to normalize relations between Israel and its neighbors at the expense of the Palestinians. Saudi Arabia was said to be on the verge of signing the accords prior to October 7th and Israel's subsequent genocidal military campaign in Gaza. The UAE taking a new stand against Israel on behalf of the Palestinian cause is widely seen as the final death knell of the Abraham Accords and the beginning of a new era of relations in the Middle East.* Finally, the Economist reports that a group of seven top officials within the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is consolidating power in Iran. The man rumored to be leading this junta is Mohsen Rezaei, the new national-security adviser, former presidential candidate and the longest-serving chief of the IRGC, having led the corps though the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s. Others include the head of the navy, currently overseeing Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the IRGC's commander-in-chief and founder of the Quds Force. Notably absent from this group is Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic. This piece judiciously avoids making any definite predictions about whether this new clique will rule as hardliners or pragmatists, but emphasizes that the late Ali Khamenei expertly “balanced the competing interests of his realm” while these military men favor action.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Hosts Brian McWilliams, John Odermatt, and Lou Perez open by mourning the recent passings of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, celebrating their legendary careers and cultural impact. The main discussion dives into AOC's controversial decision to rejoin the Democratic Socialists of America after years of not paying dues, with the hosts debating the DSA's extreme policy goals and the irony of wealthy "nepo baby" socialists railing against the very capitalism that built their comfortable lives. The conversation shifts to the Lindsay Clancy case, where the hosts criticize both left-wing and right-wing commentators for deflecting personal accountability onto pharmaceutical companies. Florida's first-in-the-nation crackdown on welfare abuse — restricting EBT spending on tattoos, vapes, and theme parks — gets a lively breakdown. The episode closes with a deep dive into college football's NIL chaos, a Penn State fraternity cocaine ring, and announcements for upcoming live shows.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, what is in the president's mail-in voting executive order? It ensures voter integrity and the requirements are common sense, yet Democrats and their media lie about it as an effort to stop women and people of color from voting and call it a grave threat. The Democrats and their slip-and-fall lawyers always seem to be on the side of the cheaters but claim they are just looking out for the rest of us. This executive order is perfectly legitimate. Also, a leaked CBC memo instructed reporters ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 not to refer to the attacks as terrorist attacks, instead describing hijackings that led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and Manhattan that destroyed the World Trade Center. If 9/11 is not terrorism then terrorism does not exist. The left and Islamists in media allow this insanity to spread like poison.  Later, people aren't reading books, especially young people, so they lack independent information and don't understand the history of socialism; they aren't taught it and are instead taught that socialism is fantastic. Many do not know what happened in the Holocaust or the Civil War's massive battles to preserve the Union and end slavery, nor why the Electoral College or the Senate exist. As a result they listen to Rasputin-type figures and radical anti-American faculty with tenure become the only source they have, leaving them without enough knowledge to push back. Afterward, the Democrats did everything they could to stop Ronald Reagan from pursuing the Strategic Defense Initiative, which led to Patriot missiles, among other life-saving technologies. The media regurgitated the Democrats' talking points, and mocked Reagan and "Star Wars."  The Democrats, the media, and the Woke Reich isolations opposed significant increases in our defense budget, which has been shrinking as a percentage of GDP for some time. Meanwhile,  Barack Obama and Biden changed names on forts, ships, mountains. They changed nouns and pronouns. But Trump changes names to promote America and these same people lose what's left of their minds. Finally, Jon Husted calls in to discuss his Senate run against Sherrod Brown in Ohio. Brown tries to portray himself as a moderate but he's a liberal. Husted says the Democratic Socialists are taking over the Democratic party. They want to make us less free and take more control over your money and your future. Husted supports President Trump's polices on the border, trans athletes in women's sports and so one.

Mary chats with Debbie Wuthnow of iVoterGuide, a ministry of American Family Association, about the midterms, and the crossroads at which we Americans find ourselves. Thanks to iVoterGuide, we can have access to tremendous amounts of research on all the midterm elections – scorecards, polling places, dates and much more – because an educated electorate benefits our nation. Most people don’t realize that primary elections decide the vast majority of races;  if people don't vote on the ground level, say locally for school boards or in state and national primaries, they can't truly complain about having lousy candidates. We are leaving our votes outsourced to our neighbor if we don’t turn out. Yet primary voting numbers are notoriously low. So here we are, November 3 fast approaching. Thirty-nine state governorships are up for grabs, and flipping the House and Senate are also possibilities. Add Ai into the mix, and Democratic Socialists, and it’s easy to see that the face of our nation is changing fast, and not for the best if you are concerned about voting Christian values. WE should be determining who best represents our values, not our neighbor who doesn't often have a biblical worldview. What are some of the issues? What about Ai, foreign and domestic? Is it the economy? A lot to cover in our pre-midterm chat with Debbie Wuthnow.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

She spoke about her latest book — “Infiltration Instead of Invasion: America Betrayed” — and how the UN's 2030 Agenda is slowly taking hold in America. She also spoke about how socialist efforts are growing in Minnesota, and how the Democratic Socialists of America are now "working hand in hand with the jihadi movement" to win political races throughout the country."We're certainly not going to have people that are relying on algorithms ... determine our future. It's just really time to stand up," said Mel K.Support the show

Election season is heating up, but are the polls telling voters the full story? Tudor Dixon sits down with veteran pollster John McLaughlin, CEO and partner at McLaughlin & Associates and longtime adviser to President Donald Trump, for an inside look at the battle for Congress in the 2026 midterm elections. McLaughlin breaks down the razor-thin Michigan Senate race, why he believes Republicans need to sharpen their message, and how turnout could ultimately determine control of the House and Senate. He also explains why he questions some national polling methodologies and argues that Republicans must take their case directly to voters rather than relying on traditional media. The conversation dives into Mike Rogers and the Michigan Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed and the Democratic Party's progressive wing, Medicare for All, taxes, housing affordability, voter ID and proof of citizenship, as well as Republican proposals that McLaughlin believes could help define a national midterm agenda. Tudor and McLaughlin also examine Democratic primary results in Michigan, Wisconsin and Florida, the growing influence of democratic socialist candidates, concerns surrounding political fundraising and foreign money, and what both parties' strategies could mean for the balance of power in Washington. With the 2026 midterms approaching, McLaughlin says Republicans cannot simply run on President Trump's accomplishments—they need to clearly tell voters what comes next and define the choice facing the country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CONTENTS JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-26-2026.832Greenwich Observatory (Robert Chambers, p.200, 1832) - Copy.pngJohn Batchelor and Michael Bernstam analyze the revenue-sharing deal between Iran and Oman over the Strait of Hormuz, which does not resolve the critical global refinery shortage. Decades of zero Western refinery expansion, alongside Ukrainian drone strikes disabling Russian capacity, has left a global deficit of 5.6 to 6 million barrels per day of refined products. This is especially severe for diesel, which requires heavy crude unlike the light sweet crude produced by the US shale revolution. With U.S. refineries running at maximum capacity, the threat of mechanical failures risks a full-blown supply crisis. (1)Richard Reinsch discusses the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and their principles, which advocate for economic collectivism, nationalizing private industries, and dismantling the U.S. constitutional republic in favor of a unicameral legislature. Reinsch contrasts this with a historical 1922 Kremlin conversation where Soviet leader Joseph Stalin accused American communist Jay Lovestone of "heresy" for arguing "American exceptionalism"—the idea that American working-class prosperity made them resistant to Marxism. Today, Reinsch views the DSA as an overeducated, white, urban phenomenon failing to win working-class or minority voters. (2)Rogier Windhorst and David Livingston: Professor Windhorst warns that the Hubble Space Telescope's orbit will begin to decay uncontrollably by September 2033 due to solar maximum atmospheric expansion. To prevent a hazardous, uncontrolled re-entry, Windhorst advocates for a robotic servicing mission to boost Hubble's orbit. As the only remaining telescope with precise blue-ultraviolet capabilities, Hubble's data remains critical and heavily in demand. Windhorst urges NASA to fund a $100 million rescue mission and eventually construct the Habitable Worlds Observatory to search for Earth-like exoplanets starting in 2040. (3)David Hebert discusses the fiscal debates surrounding Social Security's impending 2032 shortfall. Hebert refutes the idea that raising tax rates increases treasury revenue, noting that tax revenue historically remains constant at 17–18% of GDP because high rates prompt tax avoidance. Instead of "starving the beast" of resources, Hebert advocates for "starving the beast of responsibility" by decentralizing programs through federalism to cut administrative costs. He urges structural reforms to Social Security, highlighting that the ratio of workers supporting each retiree has plummeted from 40-to-1 down to 2-to-1. (4)Captain James Fanell (US Navy, retired), co-host Gordon Chang: Fanell warns that China is nearing completion of a military installation on Triton Island in the Paracels, expanding its "ring of control" in the South China Sea. He cautions that China may soon fortify Scarborough Shoal, threatening to block the northern South China Sea and degrade U.S. naval operations. In response to this rising coercion, the Philippines is boosting its 2027 defense budget by 6.3%, allocating $800 million for modernization with a heavy focus on intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance drones. Fanell urges more assertive naval cooperation to deter further Chinese expansion. (5)Dean Cheng, co-host Gordon Chang: Cheng analyzes China's space program and its pursuit of reusable booster technology to match SpaceX's cost-saving launch cadences. Although China has successfully recaptured first-stage boosters, it has not yet demonstrated refurbishing or reusing them. Cheng notes that China seeks space dominance to deploy six mega-constellations and establish moon colonies. He suggests that a delay in China's lunar south pole probe—officially blamed on solar exposure—is likely due to the ongoing accident investigation of the Long March 7 rocket failure. Cheng predicts a Chinese astronaut will walk on the moon by December 31, 2030. (6)Charles Burton, co-host Gordon Chang: Burton discusses the escalating trade war between Canada and the Trumpadministration, which triggered $20 billion in Canadian retaliatory tariffs and a 7.5 billion CAD business support package. The dispute has sparked public anti-Trump sentiment and personal mudslinging between Donald Trump and Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Stalled negotiations, compounded by unacceptable U.S. demands regarding French labeling laws, have shattered bilateral trust. Burton warns that Canada is prepared to pivot away from MAGA toward free trade with Europe and China, despite severe risks of Chinese economic coercion. (7)Jack Burnham outlines China's persistent military coercion campaign targeting Taiwan, noting that Beijing separates economic trade truces from its aggressive goal to subjugate the island. China's provocations, including Coast Guardpatrols east of Taiwan and flights over the median line, are designed to establish a "new normal." In December 2025, China responded to an $11 billion U.S. arms package by launching "Justice Mission 2025," an expansive military exercise simulating blockades and practicing "all-dimensional deterrence" to discourage U.S. intervention and test regional capabilities. (8)Doug Messier details SpaceX's plans to build "Starbase Louisiana," a massive $100 billion, 125,000-acre spaceport designed as the world's largest launch facility. Scheduled for construction in 2027 and launches by 2029, the facility will feature ten launch pads supporting thousands of annual, airline-style Starship flights. While bringing thousands of jobs, the coastal development raises environmental concerns regarding wetland habitats, which SpaceX has pledged to help restore. Messier also highlights Space Force's startup funding arm, SpaceWERX, which is fostering new aerospace innovators like Antares Nuclear and Muon Space. (9)Jeremy Zakis reports on the unprecedented rainfall sweeping across Australia, driven by a super El Niño cycle interacting with the Indian Ocean Dipole. South Australia and Adelaide experienced the heaviest downpours, breaking monthly rainfall records in a single day, while Sydney's infrastructure coped with several inches of rain. Victoria and Melbourne were largely spared due to the Great Dividing Range acting as a barrier. Zakis warns that weekly spring rains are highly unusual and threaten to fuel rapid forest undergrowth, which could dry out and create a dangerous bushfire hazard during future droughts. (10)

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – What happens when those legitimate concerns grow into obsessions? On the one hand, people are concerned about the growth of the socialist movement within the Democratic Party, especially the Democratic Socialists of America. Then again, some socialists seem so obsessed with their propaganda they're willing, even eager, to destroy...

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Across the political landscape, particularly with the rise of movements like the Democratic Socialists of America, a common denominator has emerged: unrelenting anger. This burning outrage is consistently directed at anyone who has achieved financial success. But what happens to a society—and to the individual mind—when its primary fuel is resentment?

Hugh Hallman, Attorney, Educator, and former Mayor of Tempe, joins Seth in studio for the full hour to talk about The affordability crisis that exists in this country as a result of the Biden Administration’s mishandling of the national economy. One of the key points discussed is how the Left has been using the narrative of an "affordability crisis" to push their agenda, when in reality, the prices of goods and services have been rising due to the previous Biden Administration's policies. Hugh and Seth discuss how the Left has been downplaying the accomplishments of the Trump Administration, such as securing the border and appointing conservative judges, and instead focusing on the perceived failures of the Biden Administration. They also talk about how the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have taken over the Democratic Party, replacing the old with new, more extreme ideologies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump's election power grab just got a boost from the Supreme Court. But can Democrats hold together long enough to stop him?The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to move forward, for now, with its effort to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms. What does the ruling actually mean for voters — and is the bigger danger the immediate restriction of voting rights, or the chaos and distrust it could create around the election?I'm joined by Michaeleen Crowell, former Chief of Staff to Bernie Sanders, former legislative director for John Lewis, and a longtime voting-rights advocate, for a wide-ranging conversation about the stakes for American democracy.We dig into:What the Supreme Court's mail-voting ruling actually does — and doesn't doWhy the Trump administration's effort could create confusion and post-election chaosWhether the Supreme Court has become too powerful — and how Democrats could rein it inWhy Congress needs to reclaim its constitutional roleThe growing tensions between the Democratic Party, progressives, and the Democratic Socialists of AmericaWhy Michaeleen says the progressive movement is bringing energy the Democratic Party desperately needsWhether the DSA controversy is being exaggerated — and when Democrats should draw a line with its fringe leadershipWhat Bernie Sanders' 2016 campaign can teach Democrats todayWhy Democrats need to stop fighting a circular firing squad before the 2026 electionWhat the party should do after the election to resolve the deeper conflictAnd the bigger question: Can Democrats become the party of change while keeping their coalition together?Michaeleen and I have known each other for nearly 25 years and have often occupied different wings of the Democratic Party. That makes this conversation especially interesting: we agree on the need to defeat Trump, but we have a real debate over how Democrats should handle the progressive movement, the DSA, and the future of the party.The immediate goal is simple: save the republic. The harder conversation comes afterward.Chapters00:00 — Trump, the Supreme Court & the fight for the 2026 election04:00 — Why Democrats are the last firewall06:00 — Michaeleen Crowell joins the conversation07:00 — What the Supreme Court's mail-voting ruling means09:00 — Is mail-in voting really a Democratic advantage?10:00 — Trump's bigger goal: chaos and distrust11:00 — Could the election become a post-election fight?13:00 — The problem with Trump's “citizenship lists”15:00 — The voting paperwork nightmare17:00 — The Supreme Court's power and “judicial supremacy”20:00 — How should Democrats rein in the Supreme Court?22:00 — The MAGA catch-22: win elections, then change the system24:00 — The fight to protect voting rights27:00 — Can threats to democracy actually drive turnout?28:00 — The Democratic Party's fight with its progressive wing30:00 — The four camps in the DSA debate31:00 — Michaeleen: “I'm a lifelong Democrat”33:00 — What Democrats are missing about the progressive movement35:00 — Why Democrats can't form a circular firing squad37:00 — Where Michaeleen and I disagree about the DSA40:00 — Is the DSA actually part of the Democratic Party?41:00 — Why Democrats need to hold together now43:00 — What Bernie Sanders supporters still remember from 201645:00 — The fight Democrats need to have in 202847:00 — Can AOC help define the future of Democratic socialism?49:00 — What Bernie got right about Democratic politics52:00 — Accountability, affordability and the demand for change54:00 — A surprise interruption: Dolly Parton56:00 — What Democrats need to do nextSubscribe to Worth Knowing with Matt Robison for conversations about politics, science, economics, psychology, technology, and the forces shaping the world around us.#Trump #SupremeCourt #2026Midterms #Democrats #DSA #MailInVoting #DemocraticParty #Election2026

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King and headline king Jason “Jah” Lee for a wide-ranging conversation spanning Atlanta culture, policing, politics, infrastructure, race, hip-hop, gender identity, and the WNBA. After previewing the episode’s biggest stories [ 00:38 ], the crew catches up on their weekends [ 02:43 ] before debating Atlanta’s dining scene, happy-hour culture, restaurant service, and food experiences [ 03:26 ]. Jah’s “Ignorant Thought” turns serious as he reacts to reports about the death in prison of the former officer who shot Sonya Massey, prompting a larger conversation about policing, accountability, and Elon Musk’s suggestion that Derek Chauvin should be released [ 06:20 ]. From there, a discussion about recent food safety scares and beef consumption briangs the crew back to what—and where—they’re willing to eat [ 09:27 ]. In “This Is America,” the hosts spotlight Gary, Indiana, where residents in a largely Black community have faced an extended power outage following severe storms [ 13:02 ]. The crew connects the crisis to larger questions about aging infrastructure, disaster response, environmental inequality, government responsibility, and which communities receive urgency when essential services fail, while encouraging support for residents in need [ 16:28 ]. Politics takes center stage as they react to comments from Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon about taking her children to drag shows [ 24:46 ], debating political strategy and whether certain public positions help or hurt candidates in contentious elections [ 28:39 ]. The conversation expands into who actually attends drag shows and why [ 33:11 ], an explanation and debate around the term cisgender [ 34:43 ], and the importance of context when discussing drag performances, children, LGBTQ+ issues, and adult entertainment [ 37:37 ]. They then zoom back out to Florida politics, progressive movements, and the Democratic Socialists of America [ 40:31 ], before taking a lighter detour into beards, appearances, and “hat fishing” [ 44:30 ]. The conversation returns to crime and race as the crew examines reports of an alleged Penn State fraternity cocaine distribution operation [ 47:48 ], questioning whether similar allegations involving Black defendants would be framed as a gang, conspiracy, or RICO case and exploring racial disparities in the language used around criminal activity [50:30 ]. They also discuss fentanyl risks, drug surveillance, and the dangers surrounding today’s illicit drug supply [ 55:20 ]. From there, the hosts react to Master P’s comments about Black people “harping on slavery,”debating historical memory, generational trauma, accountability, opportunity, and whether acknowledging systemic barriers is incompatible with pursuing progress [ 57:06 ]. Hip-hop becomes the focus as the crew explains why J. Cole’s current tour feels culturally significant [ 01:06:53 ], particularly in an era without the same ecosystem of music blogs and media outlets that once documented rap in real time [ 01:08:10 ]. That leads into a broader discussion about whether hip-hop is experiencing a reset and what the culture needs from artists, audiences, and media moving forward [ 01:09:29 ]. The final stretch tackles another viral culture debate as Mandii, A-King, and Jah react to backlash surrounding a Matt Matthews and Kandi Burruss clip involving pronouns [ 01:10:23 ] and dive into the comment section to examine how social media amplifies cultural misunderstandings and outrage [ 01:13:42 ]. The discussion expands into transphobia, identity, language, and accusations of using a “blaccent” [ 01:19:52 ], before the crew condemns the disturbing trend of people throwing sex toys onto the court during WNBA games [ 01:27:33 ]. They react to Joy Taylor calling out the behavior [ 01:29:07 ] and question what leagues, arenas, and fans should expect when it comes to security, consequences, player safety, and basic respect for women athletes [ 01:35:07 ]. The crew closes with final thoughts and credits [ 01:40:12 ], wrapping an episode that connects politics, race, public safety, hip-hop culture, LGBTQ+ discourse, and women’s sports through the signature humor and debate of Selective Ignorance.

With the midterm elections less than 80 days away, Democrats appear confident that historical trends and current polling will deliver control of Congress. But several factors could complicate that outcome, including the course of the Iran war, Republican redistricting, Donald Trump's campaign war chest, recent primary results, and questions about the reliability of polling. The growing influence of Democratic Socialists within the Democratic Party could also reshape the race as voters get a closer look at their positions on policing, immigration, energy, foreign policy, women's sports, the Supreme Court, the Electoral College, and other major issues. Despite expectations of Republican losses, control of both the House and Senate remains up for grabs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is there a connection between Tylenol and autism—and has the medical establishment been too quick to dismiss the evidence? Renowned scientist Dr. William Parker, author of Tylenol and Autism, joins Alex Newman for a deep dive into one of the most consequential and controversial medical debates facing American families. Parker lays out the evidence he believes points toward an association between acetaminophen exposure and autism, explains where he says mainstream medicine has gotten the science wrong, and addresses the enormous question facing parents: If there is a real risk, why aren't families being warned? Meanwhile, a longtime Fauci adviser has PLEADED GUILTY after admitting to a conspiracy to conceal federal COVID records from the American people—and could face years in prison. What does this reveal about efforts to keep COVID-era government communications away from public scrutiny? And the news gets even wilder. Democratic Socialists are openly discussing overthrowing America’s constitutional system. Surveillance cameras are proliferating across the country. Some of the world's wealthiest people are building million-dollar bunkers beneath more than 300 feet of solid rock in the Swiss Alps. And American cattle producers are sounding the alarm as President Trump moves to dramatically increase foreign beef imports while U.S. ranchers struggle to survive. Plus, Gary Meredith joins Alex to explain why Christians cannot simply abandon the political battlefield. And Dr. Dave Jones exposes the enemies within—fear, lust, anger, and pride—and explains how Christians can defeat them before they destroy their families, ministries, businesses, and calling. From the Tylenol-autism controversy and the Fauci COVID-records scandal to socialist revolutionaries, billionaire bunkers, surveillance, and America's ranchers, this episode is packed.

-Rob digs into allegations of foreign money influencing American political organizations, highlighting Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's discussion of an investigation involving Neville Roy Singham and organizations associated with the Democratic Socialists of America. Rob's assessment: if your grassroots movement requires hundreds of millions of dollars, those are some extremely expensive blades of grass. -Newsmax Hotline guest and former federal prosecutor Doug Burns joins Rob for a legal buffet: the investigation into Neville Roy Singham, possible foreign-influence violations and extradition; the legality of Biden-era autopen pardons; allegedly fabricated political polling; ballot-name shenanigans; New York's government grocery-store proposal; the Trump ballroom court fight; and the Lindsey Clancy case. Burns argues that questionable autopen pardons could potentially be tested if prosecutors bring charges against a recipient who then invokes the pardon in court.

프린스턴에 무사히 돌아와서 처음 녹음한 에피소드입니다. 이번주 알래스카와 플로리다주 경선을 끝으로 거의 모든 주에서 중간선거를 앞둔 경선이 끝났습니다. 전에 맘다니 시장이 지지한 후보들의 돌풍이나 미시건주 경선에서 수천만 달러의 낙선 캠페인을 뚫고 민주당 후보가 된 압둘 엘 사예드의 사례에서도 언급됐던 미국 민주적 사회주의자 연합(DSA, Democratic Socialists of America)에 관해 자세히 짚어봤습니다. 그리고 드롭사이트 뉴스라는 매체를 통해 알게 된 이스라엘의 새로운 로비 전략도 알아봅니다. 정부가 직접 나서서 챗봇이 내놓는 답변에 영향을 끼치는 방식으로 가자 전쟁을 둘러싼 서사를 '장악'하려는 LLM 오염, 또는 생성엔진최적화(GEO) 전략이 무엇인지 자세히 이야기 나눴습니다.

A joke about Trump's closest aide broke MAGA world this week — Senator Jon Ossoff mentioned executive assistant Natalie Harp by name, and Google searches for her spiked 5,000% overnight. Matt Robison and Republican strategist Matt Wylie dig into why the reaction was so outsized, and what it reveals about who actually shapes Trump's view of reality. Plus: Disney and ABC sue the FCC and fight back against the Trump administration, a morale crisis aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, another Democratic Socialist upset in Trump's home state of Florida, and this week's Battlefield midterm scorecard — a rare bright spot for Republicans with a bigger trapdoor ahead.Matt Robison and Republican strategist Matt Wylie break down the week in politics — where PTI meets The Daily Show. New episodes every week.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, we should encourage independent engagement with ideas like those of Justice Clarence Thomas rather than selling out to the left, communists, socialists, Islamists, the Woke Reich, isolationists, or others who have fallen into traps pushing greater interventionism or abandoning the dollar as the reserve currency. The prevailing hate directed at America, its founders, symbols, belief systems, Judaism, Christianity, and Israel should be condemned. We must maintain constitutional conservatism! President Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, made the decision to go to war with Iran and destroy their nuclear regime. Not Benjamin Netanyahu or anyone else. He did. But the Woke Reich neo-fascist isolationists can't accept that. In the past, Democrats and Republicans would have united behind this decision. Now, Democrats and Democratic Socialists on the left and the Woke Reich on the far right are undermining Trump and our troops. We know what the Iranian regime will do if they get their hands on nukes. We know they already fund terror groups all over the world. We know they push their ideology to the young, including right here in America. Right now, in the USA, weak governors allow fortress mosques to be built in our communities. In their hatred of Jews, the Woke Reich are ok with Iran and Putin. The Woke Reich are the modern-day appeasers of Hitler in the 1930s, but they don't have the integrity to admit it. Later, in the 1970s gas prices jumped due to OPEC's boycott of the U.S. over its Israel policies. Back then people blamed the oil companies instead of OPEC. Today the same manufactured hostility targets AI data centers. Governors ban or endlessly delay them with false pollution claims once used against fracking. The real issue is electricity: decades of blue-state regulations and anti-capitalist obstruction have blocked grid upgrades. Critics now complain data centers will consume too much power, yet refuse the solutions—expand the grid and let the centers build their own generation, including nuclear. Adversaries, especially China, face no such constraints and will dominate future technology, military, space, and health-care advances if America continues this economic self-sabotage. Furthermore, one of the dangers of so-called national conservatism, which has a relatively small following, is that it overlaps with the left by de-emphasizing individualism and stressing that each nation-state should simply be what it wishes. This isolationist approach should be rejected. We need to affirm American sovereignty, strong borders, traditional religion and culture, traditional family structures, and opposition to international institutions like the UN in favor of the Constitution. National conservatism's economic protectionism and interventionism skate too close to the left and serve as excuses for isolationism, centralization that erodes federalism, and more government control; the opposite is needed—deregulation, further tax cuts, and shrinking the central government—lest economic collapse destroy civil society, as the COVID-era attacks on liberties in blue states and cities already demonstrated.

As primary upsets by Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates knock out prominent establishment incumbents, the Democratic Party is facing a pivotal reckoning over its direction ahead of the midterms. Former Congressman Joe Cunningham (D-SC), author of Life of the Party, joins The Rundown to break down why voters are growing frustrated with party leadership, how progressive candidates are capitalizing on economic anxieties, and what Democrats must do to win back working class and Black voters. Later, Michigan Republican Senate nominee Michelle Tafoya shares her strategy to flip Minnesota's Senate seat red against Democratic Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan – a seat that hasn't been held by the GOP in over two decades.

The H-1B program is ruining America in more ways than we realize, and it's now crippling our school systems as well. Test scores remain in massive decline, and more teachers are leaving the classroom as the H-1B visa program is draining our incentive to fix the broken K-12 system. Plus, I show how rampant this scheme has gone. Not only are H-1B workers stealing our jobs, they're not even doing them. Often, they're outsourcing their own jobs to even cheaper labor in India. Senate candidates James Talarico (D-Texas) and Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.) are proof that Democrats will do anything to get the black vote. Their new low is groveling at anything to get people to vote for them. A Democratic Socialist of America member perfectly sums up the DSA's positions and admits that the biggest obstacle in taking over America is the Constitution. Meanwhile, another radical socialist argues that no one should be jailed for not following the law ... and that people who steal are only doing it because they really need to steal. Adam Johnson and comedian Davey Jackson join the show. ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Home Title Lock Go to https://hometitlelock.com/sara and use promo code SARA to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of the Triple Lock Protection!

Political strategist and pollster Chris Wilson joins Lisa Boothe to break down the state of the 2026 midterm elections, the Republican Party's turnout problem, the Democratic Party's move to the left and why traditional political polling is becoming increasingly difficult to trust. Wilson, CEO of Eyes Over Technologies, explains why Republicans are facing a challenging but highly competitive midterm environment. While history favors Democrats and Republican voter intensity remains a concern, the GOP could benefit from the Senate map, redistricting and Democratic candidates who may be too far left for their states. So what should Republicans actually campaign on? Wilson argues that the winning message comes down to four words: affordability, security, trust and confidence. He explains why candidates should focus on the cost of groceries and everyday life, public safety, competent government and delivering tangible results for voters rather than relying on generic attacks about socialism. Lisa and Chris also examine critical Senate races in Michigan, Alaska, North Carolina, Ohio and elsewhere, along with the challenge of getting lower-propensity Trump voters back to the polls when Donald Trump himself isn't on the ballot. Then they tackle one of the biggest questions in modern politics: Can we still trust the polls? Wilson explains how declining response rates, inaccurate turnout models, early voting and rapidly changing public opinion are making traditional polling increasingly complicated. Finally, Wilson explains how artificial intelligence, online conversation analysis and real-time narrative tracking could transform political campaigns by showing not just where voters stand today, but where public opinion is moving heading into Election Day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down America's national debt hitting a staggering $40 trillion, tracing how decades of spending and tax cuts under both parties brought the country to this point. Bryan covers a new CATO Institute analysis showing Democratic Socialist policy demands would require up to $212 trillion in new spending, AOC's struggle to explain the difference between socialism and communism, and her party's celebration of Fidel Castro's 100th birthday. He also breaks down a Minnesota state lawmaker's blunt admission that democracy is just a placeholder until a "politburo of loyalists" can take over. Plus, Bryan covers the secret US Navy and CIA flotilla operation now moving nearly half of pre-war oil volumes through the Strait of Hormuz, Israel's airstrike on a Turkish-rebuilt Syrian airbase, a bombshell speech from Ukraine's former defense minister challenging President Zelenskyy to hold elections, and new research linking WWII-era British sugar rationing to longer, healthier adult lives.

But the Woke Reich neo-fascist isolationists can't accept that. In the past, Democrats and Republicans would have united behind this decision.

In their hatred of Jews, the Woke Reich are ok with Iran and Putin. The Woke Reich are the modern-day appeasers of Hitler in the 1930s, but they don't have the integrity to admit it. Also, to serve in Congress is an immense honor, but then you have pigs like Eric Swalwell and Matt "No Pants" Gaetz who get elected. Then we have Jon Ossoff, running for reelection to the Senate, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth but trashes capitalism. He went after Trump over Iran and called assistant Natalie Harp and other aides "security blankets." Ossoff called his opponent Mike Collins and his supporters "White nationalists." Where was Jon when Joe Biden was curled up under the desk in the Oval Office? And name one thing he's done in the Senate? It's disgusting how people like Ossoff, Gaetz and Swalwell have conducted themselves while in office. Then, Prince Reza Pahlavi, son of the late Shah, was asked by a German journalist if he's an Israeli agent. He answered no but he's proud of his grandfather, who gave refuge to Jews while they were being burned in ovens in Germany. Pahlavi would be a great choice to lead an Iranian government-in-exile. Meanwhile, hardliners in the current regime have no intention of agreeing to any deal with the U.S. that doesn't give them control over the Strait of Hormuz. Russia, China and North Korean continue to pour weapons into Iran while we play defense. The regime is using this time to recalibrate and reinforce their police state. It's time to just finish them. Finally, a group of people that the Detroit Free Press describes as "anti-Muslim" held a protest ahead of a city council meeting in Dearborn, MI. The report wrote inflammatory statements about the protestors and said counter-protestors shouted antisemitic remarks. Democrats denounced the protest and expressed support for Muslims in Dearborn. Dems condemn hate, but where is the condemnation when there is crime and hate speech in New York directed at....Jews? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

You've probably heard a lot about the Democratic Socialists of America this year. Political figures who are either members of the organization or associated with its beliefs are running in primaries across the country, sometimes even winning against their more moderate opponents. But what does D.S.A. want? Does the organization want to elect more left-leaning Democrats – or replace them? Is this a left-wing Tea Party movement? Or something else entirely? To find out, we spoke to Charles Homans. He's a reporter for The New York Times and The New York Times Magazine who just did a deep dive into D.S.A.And in headlines, President Trump and his son-in-law disagree over whether the U.S. is negotiating with Iran, Meta is on trial in California for its platforms' harms to children, and OpenAI launches ChatGPT for Teens.Show Notes: Check out Charles' piece – tinyurl.com/ha2chs3h 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
