Pete Hegseth, in an unconventional speech, announces that beardos, weirdos, and wimps are no longer welcome at the Department of War as his boss officially hit the road to campaign for Senate Republicans — whether they want him to or not. Jon and Dan react to Trump's event with Ken Paxton in Texas, Trump proclaiming his love for data centers in a wide-ranging interview with TIME, and Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt's embarrassing mix-up in a Judiciary Committee hearing with former Special Counsel Jack Smith. Then, Rev. Adam Hamilton, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Kansas, talks to Dan about what it'll take to elect the state's first Democratic senator in nearly 100 years, and why he considers himself both a liberal and a conservative.Get your tickets to Crooked Con 2026 at crookedcon.com!Hate listening to ads?

In this special midterms edition of “The Conversation with Dasha Burns,” Adam Hamilton, the pastor and Democratic candidate challenging Sen. Roger Marshall, sits down with Dasha at a campaign office in Kansas to discuss why he thinks the race is competitive – and why he believes a moderate, bridge-building approach can win over voters in this deeply Republican state. Hamilton talks about the cost of fuel and tariffs, the war in Iran, his appeal to Republican voters and the role of faith in politics. He also responds to criticism from Sen. Ted Cruz over his theology, discusses whether Democrats can win over evangelical Christians and weighs in on whether President Donald Trump is a Christian.

Episode 1027 tracks the widening cracks in MAGA's coalition as elite Conservatives and Republican officeholders begin quietly distancing themselves from Trump while his approval craters to 31%, proving the mob was never really following him — he was following the mob, and now the mob is splitting. Driftglass and Blue Gal pull a bizarre, rambling Time Magazine interview in which Trump complains about unfair press coverage paragraph after paragraph, then compare it word-for-word to his identical meltdowns from a decade ago during the 2016 campaign. The episode also digs into Democratic healthcare proposals, with Medicare for All framed as the gold standard Democrats should be unafraid to champion. Stay in Touch!

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, with just weeks before Election Day, Democratic engagement and positive ratings give Democrat James Talarico a razor-thin edge over Republican Ken Paxton in what is, so far, shaping up to be a photo finish for the Lone Star State's U.S. Senate seat. This analysis, released Thursday, is among Texas likely voters, unless otherwise noted. Talarico enjoys a net positive personal rating of 8 points (52% favorable vs. 44% unfavorable), while Paxton's is underwater by 18 points (40% vs. 58%). Republicans are six times more likely to view Paxton unfavorably (32%) than Democrats do Talarico (5%). And audio from Senator John Kennedy sounding off on the lack of support for collegiate sports .

A Democratic outside group called Defend the Vote has launched a $7 million statewide television campaign attacking Senator John Husted's ties to data-center developers and making him the face of AI data centers in Ohio. Husted knows he's vulnerable on this. That's why he attached his name to the Ratepayer Protection Act, which was designed to prevent regular citizens from paying higher electricity costs because of data centers. The bill passed the House but failed procedurally in the Senate, 57–43, because it needed 60 votes.Most people don't really know why data centers are supposed to be bad beyond the fact that big tech wants them and nobody knows what that means for their community. There's plenty of misinformation, but the issue has still become a galvanizing cross-party force. The strongest Democratic argument is to frame data centers as corruption — payback, kickbacks, graft, and politicians acting as supplicants to big tech. Otherwise, it's mostly a NIMBY concern. But if that concern reaches the exurbs, Democrats will gladly take those votes because they don't normally get them.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Ohio used to be one of the swingiest swing states before moving firmly into the Republican column during the Trump era. Now it's close again. One poll has Sherrod Brown leading Husted by nearly four points, another has him up eight, another has him up 2.6, and the latest has him ahead by one. The race appears to be narrowing, but this is still a state Trump won comfortably in 2024 and one where nobody spent much time, money, or effort trying to elect Kamala Harris.Democrats may have an even better opportunity in the governor's race. Amy Acton leads Vivek Ramaswamy by six points in one poll and nine in another, and she's above 50 percent in both. Another poll has Ramaswamy ahead by one, so this isn't universal, but we may be seeing the degradation of the Trump coalition — voters who believed in Trump's brand of populism and now feel disillusioned or betrayed. Acton is also the more charismatic candidate. Ramaswamy is compelling when he's on the attack, but when he isn't tearing somebody down, he's odd. He's in this position because Trump was popular in Ohio. Now he may have to eat a gigantic sandwich full of excrement.Democrats also appear to be addressing their money problem in the House. Their two main outside groups raised a combined $230 million during the third quarter, the best quarter they've ever had, bringing their cycle total to $514 million. House Majority PAC plans to spend more than $291 million on advertising before Election Day. Democrats were hurting, and now they'll be able to play on the air. The question is where they can still buy space, because many of those slots were reserved months ago.Trump, meanwhile, is using investment announcements and campaign visits to help vulnerable Republicans. He announced a $54 billion Alaska gas project with Senator Dan Sullivan and promoted a proposed $15 billion steel plant in Iowa alongside Ashley Hinson. I don't think anyone will be able to say Trump was lazy during these midterms. The Republican fear was that he'd sense things were going badly, pull back, stop spending money, and start trashing his own candidates. Instead, he understands this is the last time he'll be on the ballot, even by proxy, and he's getting off his ass. Whether it'll matter is another question.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:57 - Ohio00:09:06 - Update00:09:40 - Dem Fundraising00:11:35 - Reflecting Pool00:12:46 - Trump's Midterm Push00:15:50 - Interview with Kirk Bado 00:55:05 - Emails and Wrap-up This is a public episode.

In February, the Supreme Court ruled Trump's IEEPA tariffs illegal. So why is everyone still paying them? Because the administration rebuilt them: first under Section 122, then under Section 301, and now the 301 tariffs are in court too. So ChinaTalk's series on the people suing the U.S. government over tariffs continues. Ethan Frisch is the co-founder of Burlap & Barrel, a single-origin spice company importing from about 28 countries, and a plaintiff in both the Section 122 suit (which he won) and the Section 301 challenge, argued before the Court of International Trade the day before we recorded. Guest host Peter Harrell — a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, a visiting scholar at Georgetown Law's Institute of International Economic Law, and an attorney — joins Jordan to explain where the litigation goes from here. We discuss… From aid worker to spice importer: wild cumin from northeastern Afghanistan, a company started out of a one-bedroom apartment in Queens, and carrying hundred-pound duffel bags of spices through customs Why a spice tariffs won't protect U.S. industry Liberation Day changing businesses overnight Suing the president: an even split of fan mail and hate mail, a pro bono partnership, and why Ethan doesn't understand what everybody else is so scared of Why the big companies sit on the sidelines: Peter on Fortune 500 firms and major law firms afraid of retaliation, why the lawsuits have come from small businesses and Democratic-led states, and why USTR and CBP have stayed professional anyway The Section 301 case: a statute used some 130 times for targeted trade disputes, now stretched to 60 jurisdictions covering 99% of U.S. trade; a forced-labor justification that gives China the same 12.5% rate as two-thirds of the world; and why the government will likely keep collecting through 12 to 18 months of appeals Tariffs after Trump: what a 2028 Democrat would cut and what they'd keep Plus: why you can't haggle with CBP, Jane Goodall's wild honey, pomegranate molasses made under pressure, paying farmers whatever they ask, and whether Zohran should hire Ethan to run the city's supermarkets.

This week, Mayor Zohran Mamdani released a 33-page plan to combat antisemitism, including increasing funding for synagogue security, public awareness campaigns, and museum trips. But the plan drew criticism from some Jewish groups that wanted a concrete definition of antisemitism to be included in the blueprint, which also largely omitted issues surrounding Israel-related protests. Also, a Staten Island judge ruled this week that New York City must redo the rollout of its second-home, or pied-à-terre, tax. City Hall says it will appeal while maintaining the existing timeline: exemption applications are due Oct. 6, bills arrive in November, and payments are due in January. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena discuss a rocky week for the mayor. After that, the "Off Topic" team previews three highly anticipated debates for statewide office that Spectrum News will host this month. Each hour-long debate will be co-moderated by political anchors Errol Louis and Susan Arbetter. On Oct. 1, Democratic state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli faces Republican challenger Joseph Hernandez. On Oct. 8, state Attorney General Letitia James takes on Republican challenger Saritha Komatireddy. The main event comes Oct. 13, when Gov. Kathy Hochul faces Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.
Jesse Leyrich joins The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about his career in politics, his newsletter "Nobody's Listening" about who will lead the Democratic party and co-hosting the "Nobody Knows Anything" podcast.
Theobros are a new genre of Internet influencer who discuss theology on podcasts. They have been gaining an online following by saying the Bible supports their segregationist and antisemitic views. Bob Smietana from Religion News Service reported on these Theobros, and spoke to The Bulletin about their beliefs. Then, as the mid-term elections approach, we discuss the phenomenon of pastors, seminarians and former clergy running as Democratic candidates. We re-air a conversation with Mockingcast's David Zahl, diving specifically into the rise of Texas's Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico. Lastly, Charlie Sykes and Russell Moore discuss how to interpret polling data around the 2028 election, if they think JD Vance or Marco Rubio is more likely to become the Republican candidate, and what to value when thinking about who to vote for.

Everyone says the polls blew it. Carl Allen says they didn't, and his research shows candidates averaging 49% or higher in well-polled races have won 98% of the time since 2004. Then we go race by race: Texas, Ohio, Maine, and two red states that could shock everyone on election night.Recorded live on Substack, this conversation with data analyst Carl Allen starts with why polls aren't predictions and ends with a tour of the 2026 Senate map, with real poll averages and prediction market odds pulled up as we talked. Along the way, Carl explains why a one-point lead can be safer than a three-point lead, and why undecided voters in Minnesota aren't the same as undecided voters in Ohio.Calls to Action✅ Leave a rating and review: lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion✅ Subscribe on Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com✅ Watch and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion✅ Share this episode with the friend who refreshes the polls every morningKey takeawaysPolls estimate a candidate's current support, not the final margin. When late deciders break heavily one way, as they did for David Crowley in Wisconsin's governor primary, that isn't a poll error.Watch the 50% line, not the spread. A candidate near 50% has little room to be overtaken, no matter how many voters are undecided.Undecided voters aren't a monolith. That's why prediction markets give a small Democratic lead in Minnesota 90% odds while a similar lead in Texas gets about 60%.Carl's sleeper races are Kansas and Nebraska.

The New Yorker staff writer Emma Green joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the Senate race in Maine, where the Republican Susan Collins, who has served in the Senate for nearly thirty years, is facing off against the former state senator Troy Jackson. They discuss how Collins has leveraged her seniority—and her chairmanship of the Senate Appropriations Committee—to bring considerable federal funding to Maine, helping her fend off Democratic challengers in the purple state. They also explore Collins's reputation as a moderate Republican willing to break with her party on high-profile votes, despite siding with President Donald Trump roughly ninety-five per cent of the time, and ask what the results of the Maine race may suggest about two competing visions of a senator's job. Will Collins's focus on Maine-specific projects and bringing federal money home win out over Jackson's focus on national issues such as abolishing ICE, Medicare for All, and protecting national abortion rights?

Jim explains why Tafoya resonates well in a reliably Democratic state and which issues are hitting home for voters.Next, Jim takes us through the efforts of Democrats to take U.S. Senate seats in traditionally Republican states like Nebraska, South Carolina, and South Dakota, and he tells us why the GOP will most likely win in those places next month. Then, they react to the news of a planned attack on the Texas State Capitol being foiled just a day in advance.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in current events and politics. The speaker dives into the world of California politics, where a gubernatorial debate is underway, and the candidates are making their cases to the voters. But one candidate, Javier Becerra, is noticeably absent from the debate, and his lack of engagement has sparked controversy.The debate, moderated by CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, is a national event that's getting a lot of attention. But some are questioning why Becerra, the Democratic candidate, is not participating in local debates, and instead, is only agreeing to appear on the national stage. The speaker discusses the implications of this decision and what it might mean for the election.The conversation also touches on the topic of airline safety, as a recent incident involving a hijacking attempt on a Dubai Airlines flight has left many wondering about the security measures in place. A 30-year career pilot shares his expertise on the matter, highlighting the differences in hiring practices between Middle Eastern airlines and those in the West.If you're interested in staying up-to-date on current events and politics, this episode is a must-listen.

Episode 388: Why Half of Your Week Isn't in Your Job Description (Cyril Jefferson)Episode SummaryMost nonprofit leaders can feel that the week has gotten away from them, but very few can prove it, which makes the conversation with a board sound like complaining rather than evidence. Cyril Jefferson, Mayor of High Point, North Carolina, spent years on the other side of that problem as a consultant, and his fix is a four-week time audit: log every task in a spreadsheet as you do it, add a row each time something new appears, and at the end of 160 hours read what the sheet says. One leader discovered she was spending 40 percent of her time on her actual job description. He pairs it with an accountability chart that routinely shows a CEO carrying 70 functions while the program director carries 20. Jefferson also traces his own path from a Communities In Schools student to a site coordinator to City Hall, and makes the case for why the nonprofit sector sits where neither business nor government can operate. Listeners will walk away with a way to turn the feeling of overload into data somebody can act on.About CyrilCyril Jefferson is Mayor of High Point, North Carolina, elected in November 2023 and sworn in at 31, and he serves as Industry Practice Director at Stratagon, where he leads the agency's higher education practice. He came to that role when Stratagon acquired Change Often, the social innovation firm he founded to work on social and economic challenges. His path ran through Communities In Schools, first as a High Point student the local affiliate served and later as a site coordinator splitting his employment between the nonprofit and the school district, where a student who fell through the cracks became the reason he ran for office. He was elected to City Council in 2019, and he is currently the Democratic nominee for North Carolina's Sixth Congressional District. His wife is a nonprofit executive director, he is a self-described spreadsheet guy who loves a good SUMIF, and he once officiated the wedding of a former student.ResourcesThanks to our podcast partner, InperiumCyril's LinkedIn | City of High PointCommunities In Schools, the national dropout prevention network that served him as a studentStratagonBook recommendation: The Audacity of Hope by Barack ObamaConference for NC Nonprofits, October 20-21, 2026 in Concord.

Election Day is getting closer, the polls are getting weirder and Washington has officially entered full midterm obsession mode. Democratic strategist and former Biden White House Press Office chief of staff Yemisi Egbewole is back to help Meghan McCain and Miranda Wilkins make sense of the increasingly chaotic midterm map. Is the much-hyped blue wave actually coming, or are Democrats getting ahead of themselves? The three dig into Texas, where Ken Paxton is giving Republicans plenty to worry about, the races tightening in places nobody expected, what Maine could tell us about the mood of the country and why prediction markets may not be telling us nearly as much as people think. Then there is 2028. Yes, already. Meghan has had ENOUGH of everyone treating JD Vance like the Republican nomination is a coronation, especially as Eric Schmitt's name is already being floated as a possible running mate. That conversation gets even messier after Schmitt's spectacular Hawkeyes-versus-Hawks faceplant during the Jack Smith hearing, with former Klobuchar staffer Yemisi giving us the inside baseball on exactly how a Senate hearing goes that wrong. Plus, Mauricio Umansky says he's considering running for mayor of Los Angeles, which naturally requires an emergency Housewives-meets-politics summit. Meghan and Miranda also disagree over the now-infamous lone juror from the Lindsay Clancy trial, Amy Klobuchar gains some new fans and we ask the most important question in Washington right now: blue tsunami, blue wave or blue trickle?

In this episode, Donna and Sam discuss some of the biggest political narratives dominating Michigan's headlines including Kamala Harris' Detroit visit and the relationship between Detroit rappers and MAGA.Together they dive into the frustration that builds when local media cannot get answers while national cameras set the stage. From there they zoom out to the shifting shape of Democratic politics heading toward 2028: generational change, frustration with entrenched power, and the way identity based shortcuts can distort how people judge candidates. They also connect Detroit's history of Black political leadership to today's low turnout reality, where large parts of the city feel disconnected from party institutions and policy agendas.They also explore how conservative messaging can feel persuasive in divested neighborhoods, how “work for our votes” lines spread, and how culture, misogyny in mainstream hip hop, and hustle mentality can quietly align with grievance based politics. Finally, they finish by confronting the trust problem: corporate media credibility, the rise of independent news ecosystems, and what happens when skepticism turns into a battle over basic facts.To stay up to date on all things Authentically Detroit, click here.

In a recent editorial, the Wall Street Journal's editorial board sounded the alarm on a potential deadlock on the Supreme Court, which could have far-reaching implications for climate lawfare. This episode, we dive into the details of the case and explore the motivations behind Justice Alito's decision to recuse himself. Our guest, Jack Butler, deputy editor of the Wall Street Journal, joins us to break down the complexities of the case and offer insights into the potential consequences of this decision. The Supreme Court case in question involves Suncor Energy versus Boulder County, a dispute over oil and gas production that has significant implications for climate lawfare. With Justice Alito recusing himself, the court is left with a 4-4 deadlock, which could lead to a decision that undermines the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling. Jack Butler shares his expertise on the matter, explaining the potential consequences of this decision and why it's a concerning development for those who value the rule of law. But that's not all - this episode also explores the fascinating topic of masculinity in politics. Jack Butler's new column, "Democrats' Testosterone Theater," examines how some leading Democratic candidates are projecting a masculine, tough-guy persona to win over voters. However, as Jack points out, this posturing often falls flat when scrutinized, and the candidates' actions don't quite match their words. Tune in to this episode to hear Jack Butler's insightful analysis of the Supreme Court case and the curious case of masculinity in politics. He'll also discuss the implications of these developments for the country and the future of the judiciary. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that's sure to leave you with a deeper understanding of the issues at play.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This Day in Legal History: The Nuremberg VerdictsOn October 1, 1946, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg delivered its sentences on the surviving leaders of Nazi Germany. Of the 22 defendants, 19 were convicted and three were acquitted. Twelve were sentenced to death, three to life imprisonment, and four to prison terms of 10 to 20 years. Hermann Göring killed himself the night before his scheduled execution. Martin Bormann, tried in absentia, was never found to face his sentence. The other death sentences were carried out on October 16.The legal achievement of Nuremberg was the decision to hold a trial at all. The Allies could have simply executed the Nazi leadership; some officials argued for exactly that. Instead, at the urging of figures like U.S. Justice Robert Jackson, who left the Supreme Court to serve as chief prosecutor, they built a court, allowed defense counsel, admitted evidence, and let the outcome turn on proof. The acquittals mattered as much as the convictions: they showed the tribunal was deciding cases, not ratifying a foregone conclusion. Nuremberg also established principles that still anchor international law, most importantly that “following orders” is not a defense to crimes against humanity, and that individuals, not just states, can be held criminally responsible for aggression and atrocities.The significance of October 1, 1946 is the idea in today's opening quote, from Jackson's opening statement: that even when dealing with the worst crimes imaginable, the state submits to legal process rather than acting on raw power. That idea, that the government must work through courts and procedure, especially when it is detaining, removing, or putting people to death, runs through every story we cover today.The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether the administration can detain millions of immigrants for the entire length of their deportation proceedings without a bond hearing. In July 2025, the Department of Homeland Security issued guidance saying that immigrants who entered the country illegally are subject to mandatory detention with no bond hearing while their cases proceed, a process that can take months or years. The legal fight is about which section of the immigration statute applies. The law has one provision that requires detention for “applicants for admission,” historically understood to mean people arriving at the border. A separate provision governs people already living in the country and generally lets them ask an immigration judge for release on bond. The administration's new position is that anyone who entered without inspection remains an “applicant for admission” no matter how long they've lived here, which would move them into the mandatory-detention category. The case the Court took involves Ricardo Aparecido Barbosa da Cunha, a Brazilian national who authorities say entered illegally two decades ago and applied for asylum in 2016. The Second Circuit ruled against the government. And according to the reporting, appeals judges in nine of the eleven federal circuits to consider the question have concluded that detention without a bond hearing violates federal law. That makes the administration's position an outlier among the lower courts, which is part of why the Supreme Court stepped in. The stakes are very large. A bond hearing doesn't guarantee release; it just means a judge decides whether a person is a flight risk or a danger. If the Court sides with the administration, millions of long-term residents could be held without that individualized review for the length of their cases. The Court will hear it in the term that opens Monday.US Supreme Court to hear clash over Trump's immigration detention policy | Reuters · Yahoo News · National Immigration ForumThe U.S. Court of International Trade heard arguments in a challenge to the President's “forced labor” tariffs, and opponents say the case is a test of whether he can rebuild the tariff power the Supreme Court took away in February. Imposed in late July, the tariffs range from 10% to 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, including the European Union and China, and they cover more than 99% of goods imported into the United States. The stated justification is that those countries have failed to stop imports made with forced labor. Four small businesses and 25 Democratic-led states sued, and their three cases were consolidated before a three-judge panel with appointees of Presidents Trump, Obama, and Biden. Their argument is that the trade statute the administration relied on requires country-specific findings of unfair trade practices, reached through a real investigation. In their telling, “forced labor” is a pretext: a label stretched over nearly all imports from 60 countries to recreate the broad, global tariff authority the Supreme Court rejected when it struck down the emergency-powers tariffs. The legal question is how closely courts will examine the factual basis for a statutory trade remedy. If the statute requires findings and the findings are thin or generic, the tariffs are vulnerable. If the court defers to the executive's judgment on trade practices, they likely survive. The panel isn't expected to rule from the bench. This connects directly to my column from last week on building an unwinding mechanism into tariffs from the start. If these tariffs fall too, importers will be back in the refund line, and consumers who paid higher prices will again have no clear way to get that money back.US trade court to weigh challenge to Trump's forced labor tariffs | Reuters · CNBC · Foreign PolicyAnd finally, a story that took a turn no one expected. Tennessee tried to execute Christa Pike on Wednesday night, and the execution failed. Pike was the only woman on Tennessee's death row, convicted of the 1995 torture and murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a fellow student at a Knoxville Job Corps program. Pike was 18 at the time of the crime. The legal path to Wednesday night was itself dramatic. On Wednesday morning, a divided panel of the Sixth Circuit granted a short stay to consider her claim that evidence of severe childhood sexual abuse was never adequately considered at sentencing. Tennessee went to the Supreme Court, which vacated the stay Wednesday evening, with Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissenting. Officials then administered two doses of the lethal drug, but Pike's heart was still beating, and she was taken to a hospital. Governor Bill Lee has ordered a comprehensive third-party review and said the remaining execution scheduled for this year will not go forward. Now the legal questions are unusual and difficult. The closest Supreme Court precedent is from 1947, Louisiana ex rel. Francis v. Resweber, when the state's electric chair failed to kill Willie Francis and the Court held, 5 to 4, that Louisiana could try again without violating the Eighth Amendment. Modern lethal-injection cases like Baze v. Rees and Bucklew v. Precythe focus on whether a method creates a substantial risk of severe pain, but they don't squarely address what happens after an execution has actually been attempted and failed. Pike's lawyers will almost certainly argue that a second attempt would be cruel and unusual. There are also the issues that were already in the case: her age at the time of the crime, just past the line the Supreme Court drew in Roper v. Simmons barring execution for crimes committed under 18, and the abuse evidence the Sixth Circuit wanted time to examine. Whatever one's view of the death penalty, a failed execution is exactly the kind of event the Eighth Amendment was written to make courts confront, and this case will now test what the Constitution requires when the state's ultimate punishment doesn't work.Tennessee due to execute woman for first time in two centuries | Reuters · NPR · CBS News This is a public episode.

1965 IBM 360/85 FORT MEADECONTENTS OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-29-2026Navigating Artificial Intelligence And ElectionsGUEST: Liz PeekLiz Peek analyzes the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and the emerging debate over its regulation. While tech figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk advocate for industry guardrails to mitigate risks like rogue AI agents and safety vulnerabilities, President Trump pushes for rapid advancement to maintain a competitive edge over China. Peek differentiates macro AI safety concerns from local opposition to data centers, which centers on utility costs. Turning to politics, she evaluates the Senate midterms, noting Republicans hold an edge in key tossup states like New Hampshire and Maine, while Democrats face steep challenges running the table nationwide. File 1Middle East Escalations And ConflictGUEST: Jonathan Schanzer Jonathan Schanzer evaluates ongoing conflicts across the Middle East, focusing on Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, and Gaza. Iran seeks to prolong military tensions to deplete American munitions, raise oil prices, and avoid facing severe domestic anger over its collapsing economy. In Yemen, the Iranian aligned Houthi militia pushes to unify the country, threatening Saudi Arabia and regional stability. Meanwhile, Hezbollah capability in Lebanon has been reduced by eighty percent, though political paralysis hinders government control. Schanzer notes that ending the Gaza conflict hinges on disarming Hamas, while withdrawing American troops from Iraq opens dangerous avenues for Iranian influence across the region. File 2European Leftist Populism And AIGUEST: Joseph Sternberg2 Joseph Sternberg highlights the rise of far left populism in Europe, exemplified by Die Linke winning local elections in Berlin. The party, rooted in East German communism, combines classic Marxist economic proposals like housing nationalization with troubling anti-Semitic sentiments emerging from an alliance of radical critical theorists and Islamist voters. Sternberg argues this coalition makes hostility an existential issue for the left compared to right wing parties. He also addresses the economic uncertainties of artificial intelligence, warning that massive infrastructure spending on data centers may fail to yield expected financial returns, creating major risks alongside ongoing American and Chinese competition. File 3Michigan Senate Battleground Midterm AnalysisGUEST: Thaddeus McCotter Thaddeus McCotter provides an extensive analysis of the Michigan Senate race between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El Sayed. McCotter highlights economic anxieties, inflation, and energy costs driven by Middle East conflict as central voter concerns. While Michigan historically leans Democratic in Senate contests, El Sayed's primary victory over center left Haley Stevens and his association with radical figures like Hassan Piker alienate moderate voters. McCotter observes that while Democrats capitalize on economic frustration, El Sayed's far left platform gives Republicans a viable path. Nationwide, McCotter notes that Democrats face an uphill battle to win the Senate this cycle. File 4Global Security And Strategic GeopoliticsGUEST: Gregory Copley Gregory Copley analyzes global geopolitical shifts, focusing on China, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom. He describes the summit between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump as symbolic stability designed to prop up China's fragile domestic economy and internal Communist Party rivalries amid severe water and demographic crises. In Southeast Asia, Copley examines Indonesia acquiring an aircraft carrier under President Prabowo Subianto, signaling strategic modernization to safeguard vital maritime choke points between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Finally, he dismisses the Cardiff Memorandum, a sovereignty effort by Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish leaders, as grandstanding driven by frustration with Westminster government performance. File 5Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure And RegulationGUEST: Jim McTague Jim McTague explores the political and economic friction surrounding artificial intelligence expansion, particularly the development of massive data centers. Reporting from Pennsylvania, McTague notes how local municipalities are establishing zoning regulations and utility constraints to prevent corporate developers from imposing facilities without community input. Alongside cohost Thaddeus McCotter, McTague discusses White House backing for a golden age of artificial intelligence, comparing proposed regulatory approaches to financial market oversight. While tech leaders call for industry guardrails, McTague emphasizes that light touch, goal oriented regulatory models are superior to heavy handed rules, warning that political backlash over energy grid strain impacts elections. File 6Russian Election Control Hybrid WarfareGUEST: Ivana StradnerIvana Stradner details how Vladimir Putin maintained absolute control over Russia's Duma elections, securing three quarters of the seats for United Russia through autocratic manipulation, barring anti war parties like Yabloko, and staging fabricated electoral unity. Stradner explains that these domestic maneuvers serve Putin's broader ambition of restoring imperial dominance and testing NATO resolve. Through hybrid warfare, encompassing political pressure, sabotage, cyber operations, and psychological tactics, Russia aims to exploit western disunity and risk aversion. Stradner warns that Putin seeks to expose NATO Article Five as ineffective, emphasizing that western allies must show unity and escalate deterrence to counter threats. FILE 7Russian Sanctions Arctic Energy ExpansionGUEST: Max Meizlish Max Meizlish analyzes the enforcement of United States economic sanctions on Russia's Arctic LNG Two energy project and the strategic implications of the Polar Silk Road partnership between Moscow and Beijing. Meizlish notes that while previous enforcement turned back critical Chinese power modules, inconsistent application permitted later deliveries. Chinese state owned enterprises buy sanctioned facilities to shield transactions from Western pressure while purchasing discounted Russian liquefied natural gas. Meizlish stresses that Washington must utilize new legislative mandates like the Graham Sanctions Act to penalize non compliant Chinese entities, warning that weak enforcement enables adversaries to build dual use Arctic infrastructure.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, James Talarico may not think that God is nonbinary anymore, but he's certain that He's in favor of universal health care. The Texas Senate candidate posted a riff on X about how the Bible is the foundation of his progressivism. Supposedly, through happy coincidence, our Savior agrees with Talarico about important planks of the Democratic platform circa 2026. “When Jesus healed the sick,” the Democrat said, “He didn't ask for a deductible. So, when I fight for universal health care, I'm doing it on biblical grounds.” This is the kind of cheap misuse of Scripture that Talarico, a former seminarian, finds irresistible. Also McDonald's pushes AI tools that suggest Big Mac prices are based on ‘customers willingness to pay' / the Iranian regime uses false propaganda to promote a normal and vibrant life in Iran / the "Senator John Kennedy Audio Cut of the Day" / and Geddy Lee's Brad Bradford endorsement for Toronto mayor sparks debate among Rush fans: 'I guess we can no longer call Rush “progressive rock”' For more talk on the issues that matter to you, listen on radio stations across America Monday-Friday 12am-5am CT (1am-6am ET and 10pm-3am PT), download the RED EYE RADIO SHOW app, asking your smart speaker, or listening at RedEyeRadioShow.com.

Steve Schmidt joins Scott Galloway for a wide-ranging conversation about the political reckoning he believes is coming — and what must happen next. With the midterm elections just 35 days away, Steve explains why he believes the Trump coalition is collapsing, where unexpected Democratic victories could emerge and why the election will be less an embrace of the Democratic Party than a repudiation of Donald Trump and MAGA. But winning is only the beginning. Steve and Scott discuss what accountability should look like if Democrats take control of Congress, including investigations into corruption and abuses of power, congressional oversight, ethics reform and new limits on presidential power. They also take on Mark Carney’s leadership, the war with Iran, Xi Jinping, America’s declining power abroad and the dangerous new world taking shape after two years of Trump. The larger question: Can America simply move past the Trump era — or must it fundamentally reform the institutions that allowed it to happen?

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report with Sam Seder On today's program: Polling shows that the approval ratings for Trump and the Republicans across the board on almost every issue are in the Greyhound station toilet. Particularly, Trump and the GOP have destroyed their support from under-30 voters. A panel on MSNOW all agree that there are certain elements of the Democratic party that would rather see a Republican win than have someone like Angie Nixon in their coalition. Zachary Groz, writing fellow at The American Prospect, joins for a conversation about his piece, "Private Equity Landlords Double-Dipping in Imminent Bailout". More writing from Zachary can be found here. In the Fun Half: Tim Pool shares Trump's secret weapon to win the midterm, well maybe they won't win or maybe they'll win by losing... Patrick Bet-David has enough of Adam Sosnick's pointless analysis of the midterms, so PBD cuts him off to gift his audience with his own pointless midterm rant. Right-wingers are angry that Republican governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders released an ad depicting a white man on welfare. An Israeli politician runs a campaign ad calling out a member of the Likud party for allegedly rescuing her daughter ahead of the October 7 attacks while abandoning everyone else at the festival. Joe Scarborough monologues about Netanyahu ignoring warnings on the October 7 attacks. all that and more.
