A former Democratic senator charged with a felony for allegedly forging letters of defense in an ethics probe. A representative accused of bullying and harassing women before taking office.Workplace misconduct at the Colorado State Capitol isn't new. But this year has contained more allegations and revelations than usual.Nearly a decade since the #MeToo movement led lawmakers to adopt new policies and protections for those who serve in, and work with, the legislature, some are questioning whether those efforts are due for an update.CPR's Bente Birkeland, The Colorado Sun's Jesse Paul and The Denver Post's Seth Klamann have all covered various aspects of workplace conditions at the State Capitol. They discuss the efforts the legislature has taken in recent years to improve circumstances and what lawmaker misconduct means for governance, especially now, on the cusp of a special session.Read their reporting: In private group chat, GOP lawmakers made crude jokes about a Democratic colleague's clothing A Colorado lawmaker charged gas to his campaign. Then he asked taxpayers to reimburse his mileage Two women accuse Republican state lawmaker of making unwanted sexual advances. He denies the allegations A Colorado lawmaker charged gas to his campaign.

The theme music is by Brad Turner.

The host begins by analyzing a positive economic report on retail sales, which they argue defies media predictions that tariffs would negatively impact the economy. The host credits this consumer strength to historic wage gains for blue-collar workers and reduced competition. However, a small warning sign is noted in the Producer Price Index, which came in higher than expected. The host then broadly criticizes the American media for having a political agenda and consistently being wrong in their financial reporting. The monologue shifts to fiscal policy, where the host condemns what they view as out-of-control federal spending, highlighting a record high deficit and accusing Republicans of outspending Democrats. The host defends conservative lawmakers who have been criticized for pointing out these spending issues. The transcript then transitions to a discussion on law and order, specifically a new federal strategy to enforce immigration laws. The host references previous civil unrest and argues that a similar show of force is now being used to address illegal immigration and crime in sanctuary cities. This is illustrated by the DC mayor ending sanctuary policies and an ICE raid that took place outside a Gavin Newsom press conference in California. The host claims that Democrats are hypocritical for criticizing these actions, accusing them of protecting criminals and illegal immigrants because they view them as a voting base. The monologue concludes with a defense of a Democratic primary candidate, Mullins McNutt, whom the host claims is being unfairly attacked and is no "crazier" than other prominent Democrats like Adam Schiff or Karen Bass. The host connects the Democratic party's stance on crime to a desire to protect their voters, including those who are in the country illegally.

A discussion on a confrontational event where ICE agents conducted arrests outside a press conference held by California Governor Gavin Newsom. The host argues that this was a deliberate act by the Trump administration to challenge the "dual justice system" and Democratic ideology that believes laws do not apply to them or to the illegal immigrants they support. The segment includes reactions from Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass, who criticize the arrests as a "provocative act," while a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security confirms the arrests were pre-planned and targeted individuals with serious criminal offenses, including child pornography and gang affiliation. The host also touches on other cities, such as Washington D.C., ending their sanctuary status and the general push by the administration to enforce federal law nationwide. The segment concludes with a critique of the "enamored" Democratic party and an endorsement of a fringe Democratic candidate for governor.

The host discusses a dramatic confrontation in Los Angeles where ICE agents conducted a law enforcement operation just outside a press conference held by California Governor Gavin Newsom. The host argues this was a deliberate and symbolic act to challenge the "dual justice system" and the notion that laws do not apply to Democrats and those they protect, specifically undocumented immigrants. The segment includes audio clips from Governor Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and a DHS spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin, who confirms the arrests of violent criminals, including pedophiles and gang members. The host highlights the hypocrisy of Democratic officials who express outrage over the arrests of these criminals, and the segment concludes by celebrating the Trump administration's efforts to end sanctuary city policies and enforce federal law, much to the dismay of the "outraged" Democratic leadership

The host examines the internal struggle within the Democratic Party over their public stance on crime and immigration. Citing a CNN pollster, the host points out that Democrats are alienating voters by defending criminals and advocating for policies like sanctuary cities, leading to a significant drop in their approval ratings on crime. The host plays soundbites from leading Democratic candidates who prioritize protecting "undocumented residents" over citizens, highlighting the growing divide between the party's base and mainstream public opinion. The conversation then transitions to the high-stakes summit in Alaska between the President and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The host argues that the meeting is an attempt to repair a relationship that was damaged by fabricated "Russia collusion" narratives and unwarranted sanctions, which he claims were orchestrated by the deep state and Hillary Clinton's campaign. The host explains that Putin's presence on U.S. soil is a sign of immense trust, and the true purpose of the meeting is a deep-state-free conversation to de-escalate tensions and prevent further conflict

A discussion on the political struggle to gain access to federal government databases and the subsequent findings of widespread fraud. The hosts recount the conflict between the new administration, led by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its allies, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and entrenched bureaucrats and Democrats who fought to block access. The hosts detail the legal battles and ultimate success in accessing the Social Security database. They reveal the findings, which include 275,000 illegal immigrants and 12.4 million people over 120 years old on the Social Security rolls. The hosts argue this fraud was a deliberate strategy by the previous administration to pad voter numbers and provide income to a demographic of new immigrants. The segment concludes with a critique of Democratic opposition to these "America First" policies and a preview of upcoming show topics.

California's Democratic Governor, Gavin Newsom, is standing up to Trump with his Election Rigging Response Act. It's an effort to counter Texas, which at Trump's demand, drew up new congressional districts where voters would likely elect Republican representatives. The new Texas maps could also mean incumbent Democratic representatives could face each other in some districts. It's an effort to keep the House under GOP control in the 2026 midterm elections. Governor Newsom is asking California voters to allow redrawn maps in to keep Republicans from unethically stealing Democratic seats. Newsom wants state lawmakers to allow a November ballot measure where voters would weigh in on his plan to temporarily change districts. We'll talk redistricting and politics with Philip Bump. He is known for his work as a national columnist for The Washington Post and his coverage of politics for The Atlantic Wire. Bump's book “The Aftermath: The Last Days of the Baby Boom and the Future of Power in America” looks at the upheaval in American politics and the U.S. economy. Find him at pbump.com Our segment “This Week in Politics” brings former ABC White House correspondent Jim Avila to the show to talk about current events. We'll sprinkle in some Friday Fabulous Florida and add a dash of Culture Blaster Michael Snyder with movie and streaming reviews and it's a perfect Friday.

Mark Cuban is everywhere – and famously accessible. But what might be called overexposure in a previous era is now a strength in a fragmented media world, to the point that many people want him to run for president in 2028. This week, Ben and Max bring on the former Shark Tank “shark” and former majority-owner of the Dallas Mavericks to talk about how he predicted today's media landscape in 1995, why he hates the media business, and why he thinks AI is the biggest threat to media and politics.

Denzel Washington's controversial appearance on ESPN's First Take, where he spent five minutes criticizing Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for the team's 30-year Super Bowl drought, arguing that Jones prioritizes profits over winning. The hosts debate whether Washington's outspoken comments about a wealthy white businessman could potentially harm his career, though they acknowledge everything he said was accurate. The show also covers Nick Cannon's stance against the term "co-parenting," with the father of 12 children arguing that such labels are unnecessary and potentially harmful since parents are simply parents regardless of their relationship status. The hosts disagree with Cannon's perspective, maintaining that co-parenting is an accurate description of shared parenting responsibilities. Regular segments include Gary B's "Color of the Day" featuring Santorini and beautiful black, listener wake-up calls from various cities, and Jeff Johnson's political commentary covering federal intervention in Washington D.C., Democratic governors pushing back against Republican redistricting efforts, and the escalating political tensions nationwide.

Donald Trump cements his dictator identity by rewriting U.S. history to his liking, tampering with museum exhibits, and deploying the U.S. military against Americans in the name of crime fighting. Democratic members of Congress try to hold ICE accountable for terrible conditions at its internment prisons, but HHS is getting better at hiding its tracks and its abuses. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s deranged ideas about vaccines are not only hurting the preparedness of the United States to address new diseases, but are making MAGA followers hostile to a scientific community that is only dedicated to helping people. And Ivanka Trump is organizing a cage fight at the White House for the nation's 250th anniversary. 

This is the definitive episode you've been waiting for. We expose the Deep State's war on the American people, starting with the explosive "burn bag" documents that prove the entire Russia collusion narrative was a political "team sport" designed to indict a president. We reveal how top officials told agents to "shut it down" when it came to investigating Hillary Clinton, all while weaponizing government agencies against Trump. Then, we dive into the second front of the war: illegal immigration. From Trump's bold plan to use federal authority to take back sanctuary cities, to a powerful clip of a Democratic alderman admitting his own party is "enamored with criminals," we lay out the full scale of the battle to take back our nation. Plus, we discuss how the swamp is fighting back, and the high-stakes political hostage situation preventing Trump from enacting his agenda.

This segment argues that a political "civil war" is underway, with Donald Trump's administration clashing with Democrats over the issue of sanctuary cities and illegal immigration. The hosts contend that Democratic leaders are deliberately protecting and hiding illegal immigrants to maintain political power, using them to "steal" congressional districts in the census and replace American voters. They cite quotes from a Minneapolis mayoral candidate and New York officials who openly state their top priority is protecting "undocumented residents." The discussion also features clips from liberal news outlets like PBS and Newsweek, which, according to the hosts, inadvertently admit that Donald Trump's second presidency is more effective and transformative than his first. The hosts attribute this change to Trump's "red pill" moment—his realization that the "Deep State" would not be appeased, leading him to take a more aggressive approach to his agenda. The segment closes with a clip of James Carville expressing fear that the Democratic Party is becoming too radical and losing power.

On this week's Political Breakfast, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam react to former DeKalb CEO Michael Thurmond's long-awaited campaign launch for the Democratic primary in the Georgia Governor's race. One question being addressed: Will a more moderate Thurmond be able to bring Democrats together at a time when what unites most is just hating President Donald Trump? Plus, the legal drama brewing between the gubernatorial candidates. Attorney General Chris Carr sues Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. Meantime, Jones nabs a critical endorsement from President Trump.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for August 14th Publish Date: August 14th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, August 14th and Happy birthday to Magic Johnson I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett students outperform state on many milestones tests — but trail in science Buford's David Clark joins race to be Georgia’s next lieutenant governor Police contacted weeks earlier due to CDC shooter's 'thoughts of suicide,' GBI says Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on Food Apps All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MONSTER JAM STORY 1: Gwinnett students outperform state on many milestones tests — but trail in science Gwinnett County Public Schools has some bragging rights—but also some glaring gaps. The latest Milestones and end-of-course test scores show the district outperforming the state in most areas, but science? That’s a different story. The eighth-grade science results are, frankly, shocking: just 0.3% of students scored proficient or higher. Compare that to 28% statewide. Yes, you heard that right—0.3%. GCPS says most of its eighth-graders take the tougher high school physical science test instead, but even there, only 44% hit proficiency, trailing the state’s 57%. There are bright spots, though. Fifth-grade science scores beat state averages, and high school biology students held their own. Math and social studies also showed solid results, with Gwinnett consistently outpacing state averages. English/language arts? Mixed bag. Less than half of students in every grade tested were proficient, with third-graders struggling the most—just 39% hit the mark. The district plans to dig into the data at the Aug. 21 school board meeting. STORY 2: Buford's David Clark joins race to be Georgia’s next lieutenant governor The race for Georgia’s next lieutenant governor just got more crowded. On Tuesday, Rep. David Clark, R-Buford, threw his hat in the ring, becoming the fifth state lawmaker to join the campaign. Clark’s announcement follows state Sen. Blake Tillery, R-Vidalia, who launched his campaign just a day earlier. Both Republicans are hitting familiar notes—tax cuts, immigration crackdowns, and opposition to transgender rights. They join Sens. John F. Kennedy and Steve Gooch, both running on MAGA-friendly platforms aimed squarely at Trump’s base. On the other side of the aisle, Sen. Josh McLaurin, D-Sandy Springs, is the lone Democrat in the race. A vocal Trump critic, McLaurin has made no secret of his disdain for the former president’s policies and legal defiance during this year’s legislative session. The lieutenant governor’s role? Presiding over the Senate and stepping in when the governor’s out. But this race? It’s shaping up to be anything but ordinary. STORY 3: Police contacted weeks earlier due to CDC shooter's 'thoughts of suicide,' GBI says The Georgia Bureau of Investigation shared new details Tuesday about Friday’s shooting outside the CDC’s Atlanta headquarters—a tragedy that left DeKalb County Officer David Rose dead and the suspect, Patrick Joseph White, 30, of Kennesaw, taking his own life. GBI Director Chris Hosey said White had no criminal history but had recently expressed suicidal thoughts, prompting a call to law enforcement weeks earlier. At White’s home, investigators found writings criticizing COVID-19 vaccines—angry, but not overtly threatening. White fired over 500 rounds, hitting six CDC buildings. His weapons, a mix of rifles and a shotgun, belonged to his father, who told investigators White broke into the gun safe. Officer Rose, one of the first responders, was fatally shot by White. “He died a hero,” said FBI Special Agent Paul Brown. “His sacrifice won’t be forgotten.” The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to contact the GBI tip line.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 6 STORY 4: PCOM Georgia holds White Coat ceremony On Aug. 8, nearly 200 students from PCOM Georgia’s Physician Assistant and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine programs slipped into their crisp white coats for the first time—a moment that felt both surreal and monumental. The ceremony, held at the Gas South Convention Center, wasn’t just about the coats. It was about stepping into something bigger: the responsibility, the privilege, the weight of caring for others. Students recited their oath and class mission statement, pledging to lead with compassion and professionalism. For many, it wasn’t just a milestone—it was the start of a dream they’d been chasing for years. STORY 5: Trump throws support behind Jones’ bid for Georgia governor President Donald Trump has thrown his weight behind Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in Georgia’s governor’s race, giving his “complete and total” endorsement in a social media post Monday. Trump praised Jones as a loyal ally who worked “tirelessly” for his campaigns, calling him an early supporter of the MAGA movement. The endorsement could be a game-changer in the GOP primary, where Trump’s base still holds serious sway. Jones faces Attorney General Chris Carr, but he’s already got a fundraising edge—thanks to a 2021 law that lets him raise unlimited funds through a leadership committee. Carr, who doesn’t have that advantage, has taken the fight to federal court, accusing Jones of abusing the system. Meanwhile, the Democratic primary is heating up, with big names like Keisha Lance Bottoms, Jason Esteves, and Michael Thurmond already in the mix. We’ll be right back. Break 3: MONSTER JAM And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on Food Apps Break 4: 07.14.22 KIA MOG We’ll have closing comments after this Break 5: MONSTER JAM Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Texas Democrats' Return Fled to avoid redistricting legislation. Faced legal pressure: potential arrest, fines, and threats of office vacancy. Ultimately returned, allowing the redistricting bill to proceed. Redistricting & Gerrymandering Cruz and Ferguson claim Democratic states like California, New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts are far more aggressive in gerrymandering than Republican states. They cite statistics showing disproportionate representation in Congress compared to actual vote percentages. Historical Context Cruz recounts his experience as Texas Solicitor General during a similar 2003 redistricting standoff. Legal precedent allows for forcible return of lawmakers to establish quorum. Criticism of Democratic Leaders Governors of Democrat-led states are accused of hypocrisy for criticizing Texas while benefiting from gerrymandered maps. Audio clips and quotes from figures like Governor Pritzker (IL) and Governor Hochul (NY) are used to highlight perceived contradictions. Beto O’Rourke’s Remarks A clip of Beto O’Rourke is played where he advocates for aggressive Democratic redistricting, which Cruz interprets as a call for partisan power grabs. Broader Political Commentary The hosts argue that Democrats are losing favor nationally due to unpopular policies and power-driven tactics. They cite polling data showing low favorability for the Democratic Party. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Adam kicks things off by sharing his excitement for the upcoming Rolex Historics at Monterey's Laguna Seca before chatting about his plans to spend time aboard Rick Caruso's massive superyacht. He then reacts to Stephen A. Smith's explanation of why Pete Buttigieg is polling at 0% among black voters despite leading the 2028 Democratic primary race overall, and weighs in on Denver's bid to host the Gay Games. Then, Adam and Jason “Mayhem” Miller dive into trending headlines, from Emma Raducanu wanting a crying baby removed during a tense 23-minute game, to Jannik Sinner's Wimbledon serve being interrupted by a rogue champagne cork, to Los Angeles officials cracking down on dangerous street takeover meet-ups with tougher penalties and possible jail time.Then, renowned attorney and author Alan Dershowitz calls in! Adam opens by asking about the importance of political balance in American governance before shifting focus to the growing challenges of living in California. Alan connects the homelessness crisis in major cities to policy decisions dating back to Ronald Reagan, while Adam voices concern over the increasing trend of corporations and publications blacklisting people for their political views. They also touch on the controversies surrounding Jeffrey Epstein—including Alan's own legal entanglements, Trump's alleged involvement, and the mystery of Epstein's wealth—before Alan shares his candid thoughts on the Democratic Party and the Obamas.Lastly, Adam recaps his recent fire vlog where he interviews Rick Caruso about how he successfully protected his properties during the Southern California wildfires. Adam and Jason Mayhem Miller discuss the value of trade work, with Adam arguing that college isn't always the best—or only—path to a successful career. They also point out Caltrans work trucks they always see on the freeway and imagine the nightmare of crashing into one. Finally, Adam vents his frustration over a Los Angeles tunnel being tagged with graffiti less than a day after it was repainted, using it as a jumping-off point to rant about modern parenting and the need to teach kids common sense.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH ALAN DERSHOWITZ:BOOK: The Preventive State: Challenge of Preventing Serious Harms While Preserving Essential LibertiesTWITTER: @AlanDershFOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com Thank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineHomes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMOpenPhone.com/adamPluto.tvThriveMarket.com/ACSLIVE SHOWS: August 29 - Provo, UTAugust 31 - Torrance, CASeptember 6 - Charlotte, NCSeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Sen Adam Schiff's in hot water—he's been accused of corruption and mortgage fraud. The FHFA says he listed both his Maryland and California homes as his “primary residence” to score better loan terms, which could violate federal laws. Now the Justice Department is looking into it, and Schiff says it's all political payback from President Trump, which is just his way of trying to brush off what he did.  Aside from all this, a Democratic whistleblower who worked on the House Intelligence Committee claimed to the FBI that Schiff authorized the leak of classified information in 2017 to undermine Trump during the Russia investigation. In addition, Democrats continue to reference the Epstein case, despite it no longer being a relevant topic of discussion. Their desperation to find anything to use against Trump is evident, but the truth will always triumph over hatred and ignorance. The left is now labeling Trump as a dictator who intends to deploy the National Guard to seize control of every city, which is a gross misrepresentation. In reality, Trump is utilizing the National Guard to combat the rising crime rates in Washington, D.C., a Federal city. Thus, the assertion that Trump can impose such measures on any city is incorrect, as is the public's concern regarding the Democrats' apparent indifference to the increasing crime rates in many urban areas. Lastly, Israel has rejected claims of widespread starvation in Gaza, saying Hamas is spreading misleading information to gain political leverage. A report by COGAT found that many deaths labeled as malnutrition-related were actually due to severe pre-existing medical conditions. The review also noted that Hamas failed to provide identifying details for the deceased, raising doubts about the credibility of their reports. One example cited was a child whose condition was attributed to hunger but was later found to suffer from a genetic disorder and had received treatment in Israel before the war.

National Guard troops began showing up on the streets of the nation's capital overnight, a little more than a day after President Donald Trump announced plans to deploy hundreds of them to Washington, D.C., and federalize the city's police department. But during his press conference Monday, the president suggested more cities could be next. He specifically called out Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Baltimore and Oakland. All of these cities have declining crime rates – as does the United States as a whole. All of them also happen to be majority-minority cities run by Black Democratic mayors in Democratic-run states. Baltimore Democratic Mayor Brandon Scott joins us to talk about the president's ' racist talking points' and how Democratic mayors like him can't let Trump distract them from running their cities.And in headlines: Trump announced his new pick to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White said UFC will host a first-ever White House fight next year to celebrate the country's 250th birthday, and YouTube will test a new AI feature to determine the age of its users.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Gerrymandering is one of those things that makes people tune out of politics. It doesn't just sound technical and complicated, it feels so far outside our control. But it's important to understand because we all deserve to have our votes count. Gerrymandering is basically politicians picking their voters, instead of the other way around. And in Texas, Democratic reps like Ann Johnson are standing up for voters.Both parties have been known to participate in gerrymandering, but over the past few decades, it's mostly been Republicans manipulating the maps. That's not political speculation — many Republican leaders have come right out and said so. They even have an official project, named Operation REDMAP, which stands for Republican Redistricting Majority Project. And unfortunately, so far the project has been extremely successful.You may wonder… how is this even legal?Racial gerrymandering has been outlawed since the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but the Supreme Court keeps ruling that partisan gerrymandering is fine. So what's happening in Texas, where President Trump asked Republican reps to redraw district lines to favor himself, may be wrong and anti-democratic but it's not illegal. As Rep. Mitch Little said in an interview, “we're doing it because we can.”We're grateful to Democratic representatives like Ann Johnson who are fighting back against gerrymandering. And we're very excited that she'll be joining Red Wine & Blue on Monday to talk about what's going on in Texas!

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers have strategically left Texas to thwart Republicans' latest effort to further gerrymander the Congressional map ahead of next year's midterm elections. While facing bomb threats at their hotels to threats from President Trump to sic the FBI on them, Texas Democrats have so far succeeded in preventing a vote, but how far are they willing to go to win this fight? In this exclusive interview, recorded at the 2025 Netroots conference in New Orleans, LA, TRNN editor-in-chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with former Texas Congressman Beto O'Rourke about the national stakes of the political showdown in Texas, and about what Democrats are and aren't willing to do to prove to working people that they're actually going to fight back against MAGA authoritarianism.Credits:Kayla Rivara, Rosette Sewali, Maximillian AlvarezPost-Production: David HebdenHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Tara claims a "bombshell" report has revealed felonies committed by Democrat leaders, including Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, in leaking classified information during the Russia collusion probe. The host alleges that the FBI and Department of Justice covered up these crimes, which he says were committed to "topple the Trump administration" and "fix the constitutional crisis." The host also suggests that the Russia collusion hoax was created to cover up Hillary Clinton's own alleged crimes related to classified information. The host concludes by stating that this information proves the corruption of the FBI and the Democratic party.

The host continues to discuss what he calls a "historic day," alleging that a whistleblower has exposed a conspiracy involving Democratic leaders, the FBI, and the DOJ. He claims Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and James Comey committed felonies by leaking classified information to tarnish Donald Trump. The host also implicates Bill Barr and Christopher Wray in covering up these alleged crimes. He further alleges that Hillary Clinton's campaign hired contractors to fake Russian hacking to create the "Russia hoax" as a cover-up for her own misconduct. The host concludes by saying that a "war for the future of this nation" is underway and that the truth is now circulating widely, making it "too late" for those involved to stop the exposure of their alleged wrongdoing

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Trump Says What People Think President Donald Trump's crime reduction initiative in Washington, D.C., which has sparked intense backlash from left-wing commentators accusing him of federal overreach and authoritarianism. Clay and Buck dissect the media's reaction and highlight the irony of critics opposing efforts to make the nation's capital safer. The hosts explore rising urban crime rates, citing firsthand accounts and statistics from cities like St. Louis, Baltimore, Memphis, and Kansas City, and propose deploying National Guard troops as a potential solution. They emphasize the importance of law enforcement, incarceration of repeat offenders, and authentic political leadership in addressing violent crime. TX AG Ken Paxton on Redistricting Battle Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins the program to provide exclusive updates on the Texas redistricting battle, including legal actions against Democratic lawmakers who fled the state. Paxton outlines efforts to enforce quorum laws and criticizes the hypocrisy of Democrat-led states with heavily gerrymandered districts. Would You Do This on a Date? Clay and Buck share personal dating anecdotes, including a humorous story about a failed e-scooter date and a debate over the social faux pas of using gift certificates on first dates. The segment blends cultural commentary with relatable humor, resonating with both longtime listeners and new audiences. Mamdani is Everyone's Worst Nightmare Top Political Headlines include White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming a major diplomatic meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. The hosts also dissect the latest economic news, celebrating a 2.7% inflation rate and record highs across the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones—crediting Trump’s tariffs and economic policies for the market surge and wage growth. In cultural news, Clay and Buck discuss Disney’s apology and rehiring of Gina Carano after her 2021 dismissal, and the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s ad, which polls show was largely well-received despite media outrage. The conversation pivots to social media censorship, with praise for Elon Musk’s overhaul of Twitter (now X), which they say has curbed leftist bullying and restored free speech. The hour also dives into New York City politics, spotlighting the rise of mayoral candidate Mamdani, described as a “straight-up communist.” The hosts debate George Will’s assertion that Democrats should face the consequences of their policies, with Buck pushing back, arguing that defeat doesn’t teach lessons—especially to the left.

The Hacks break down Trump's Beltway power grab and what it means for D.C.'s mayor — and mayors nationwide.

The situation paints another stroke in a portrait of a president who hasn't been shy about his desire to consolidate power and shore up GOP prospects ahead of the 2026 midterms.So, what kicked this off? Last week more than 50 Democratic lawmakers fled the state to break quorum and prevent their state House vote on new redrawn congressional maps. The Democrats' revolt, threats of retaliation, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's threats have intensified the fight and sparked a national conversation. In this installment of our politics series, "If You Can Keep It," we discuss the fight over redistricting in Texas what it means for the state of our democracy.Want to support 1A?
