Governor John Kasich went on national TV and told Paul Rieckhoff, to his face, that independents aren't really independent — that come November they'll just go back to the bench and put the old jersey back on. Paul's response is the spine of this episode: that's an antiquated way of looking at America in 2026. Sixty percent of young people are unaffiliated. Fifty percent of veterans are unaffiliated. Ten thousand Americans are walking out of the Republican and Democratic parties every single week. Trump is sitting at a 22% approval with independents and a 32-34% approval overall — the Bush line — with an unpopular Iran war, tariffs jacking prices, and a party heading into the midterms with 96 days on the clock. This is a media-blitz sweep of a very big week. Paul rolls through his hits on CNN, News Nation, and MS Now to break down the races the rigged two-party system doesn't want you watching: Todd Achilles running head-to-head against 83-year-old Jim Risch in Idaho after the Democrat dropped out, Seth Bodnar in Montana, Dan Osborn in Nebraska, Yemi Mobolade already governing as an independent mayor in Colorado Springs. He takes on the Politico poll showing MAGA voters shrugging off DUI convictions, bribery, domestic violence, and sexual assault allegations — and names the command climate that made that possible. And he pushes the Democrats hard: outrage isn't a plan. What's your alternative on affordability? What's your alternative to end the war in Iran? Independents are listening. So is a country starved for character. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

A head of Midterms, the Democrat Party is trying to analyze why they lost in the 2024 elections, and think its becaue they weren't radical enough. They (the Democrats), don't have anything to run on, (except for), "they hate Trump," and think that that is enough to win the midterms. It is a little bit early, but the Dem. party are starting to prepare for 2028. At this point, however, A.O.C. is the Democratic frontrunner. There is proof with audio, in these views. Republican party on the other hand, is holding strong and ahead of the Left. -Thank you for listening!- Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brian-wallenberg-show--3256416/support.
President Trump decided not to launch a bigger attack on Iran with Israel after several Gulf countries pushed for peace. Mark says Bernie Sanders is now the main leader in the Democratic Party. Vincent Pastore from The Sopranos died over the weekend. Mark talks about how a show like The Sopranos probably couldn't be made today because of political correctness.

Mark also explains why Dr. Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth in his recent testimony and how that might backfire. Mark breaks down what's really going on with U.S.-Iran talks. Minnesota's water system suffered a major cyber-attack, and there are claims Iran was behind it, though that's still being questioned. Spain announced plans to build a border fence to stop migrants. Mark shares the latest on Savannah Guthrie's mom's case, focusing on new claims about evidence found by a sheriff. With the 9/11 anniversary coming up, many victims' families are urging Mayor Mamdani not to attend because of his views; 66,000 people have signed a petition. Mark interviews NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Michael and Mark dive into Dr. Fauci's testimony and how Fauci's journals don't match his actions during the pandemic. They also talk about how Democrats keep finding new “anti-Trump” heroes, and whether Mamdani should show up at the 25th 9/11 anniversary. Mark talks about why Camp David is used for key military meetings, especially after last week's Cabinet meeting on striking Iran. A new CNN poll shows Democrats trailing Trump. Mark also names the top fashion store in the tri-state area and highlights a huge weekend at the box office. Mark interviews journalist Steve Cuozzo. Mark and Steve talk about New York City's real estate and construction, including what's happening on Park Avenue.

Something weird is happening on the far right. MAGA influencers are calling out the pork industry. RFK Jr. is taking credit for militant animal rescue actions. And the animal welfare movement is taking notice. Astra Taylor joins us again to talk about a forthcoming article she and Aaron co-authored on the shifting political terrain around animal rights. The core question: Could this be the new MAHA (Make America Healthy Again)? A few years ago, it was impossible to imagine that crunchy moms who hate Monsanto would become a key part of Trump's electoral coalition. But here we are, in part because Democrats created a vacuum on health issues that the right stepped into. We think something similar could be happening today with animal rights—which, if the left doesn't wake up, could be very bad for all of us.Fighting Fascism Podcast is produced by Nik Damants in collaboration with The Nation.Intro song and music by Horse Radish.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Mike tackles the growing influence of Democratic Socialists within the Democratic Party, questioning how progressive policies and candidates are reshaping the party ahead of the midterm elections. He examines proposals ranging from government-run grocery stores to higher taxes on wealthy property owners, explores the political fallout among longtime Democrats, and discusses why some former allies are now voicing concerns about the party’s direction. Mike also asks listeners whether the current progressive movement represents a temporary shift or a lasting transformation of American politics, and what the stakes could be for voters in the months ahead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Josh opens the show discussing the latest on Iran following President Trump's comments that he held off on launching additional strikes because of progress in ongoing peace talks. Josh also breaks down the sudden reversal by two senators who have been holding up Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General and what it means moving forward. Will Chamberlain of the Article III Project joins Josh to discuss the latest on Blanche's confirmation and where the process stands. The two also examine the Texas Senate race, the realistic chances of a Democrat pulling off an upset, and where Ken Paxton currently stands. They also discuss the future of the conflict with Iran, what comes next for Hamas, and the broader outlook for the Middle East. Josh wraps up the show by discussing the growing civil war within the Democratic Party between the DSA wing and more traditional Democrats. He explains why a key primary election on Tuesday could provide an important glimpse into the party's future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche rescinds an order establishing the so-called "anti-weaponization" fund, paving the way for his confirmation.

The Democratic Party's climate and energy policy is at a difficult moment. Over the past year and a half, the Trump administration has attacked solar and wind energy, started an inflationary war, and repealed key parts of the Inflation Reduction Act. And about a year and a half from now, Democrats will pick a presidential candidate and pitch their energy and climate policies to voters again.How are key Democrats feeling at this moment? Rob recently had a chance to sit down with two of the party's most important energy policy makers — Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Energy and Natural Resource Committee, and former Energy Secretary and Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm — for an in-person conversation in Washington, D.C.On this episode of Shift Key, Rob chats with Senator Heinrich and Secretary Granholm, about fuel prices, the state of permitting discussions, AI data centers, and what each learned from writing — and implementing — the Inflation Reduction Act.Shift Key is hosted by Robinson Meyer, the founding executive editor of Heatmap News.Subscribe to “Shift Key” and find this episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, or wherever you get your podcasts.You can also add the show's RSS feed to your podcast app to follow us directly.You can find a full transcript of the episode here.Mentioned:Previously on Shift Key: What Senator Martin Heinrich Needs to See in a Permitting DealPreviously on Shift Key: Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on What Comes After Biden's Climate AgendaPreviously on Heatmap: 3 Takeaways From Our SunZia InvestigationMusic for Shift Key is by Adam Kromelow.

Sen. Martin Heinrich, the top Democrat on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, joins POLITICO Energy's Josh Siegel to discuss the rising cost of energy, permitting reform negotiations, climate policy and the growing power demands of AI data centers.

He also exclusively previews legislation designed to prevent data centers from shifting infrastructure costs onto utility customers.
Donald Trump unleashed an epic tirade at Senator John Cornyn for blocking his IRS lawsuit settlement slush fund, which would let Trump reward allies and grants the Trumps a form of tax immunity. Cornyn is holding up the nomination of Todd Blanche as attorney general until it's killed. Trump gloated that he'd endorsed Cornyn's victorious primary opponent and seethed that the American people want him to have this corrupt fund. In response, another foe, Senator Thom Tillis, landed a hard blow, asserting that Trump's rage over the fund is exactly why it must be killed. Humiliatingly, Tillis treated Trump like a toddler who must be told, “no.” Plus, a defeat would show that Trump's license to corrupt DOJ is not limitless. (Underscoring this humiliation, after we recorded Trump petulantly exploded again, saying he absolutely will have his fund.) We talked to New Republic staff writer Emma Janssen, author of our great new politics newsletter all about Democrats, The TNR Blue Book, which you should subscribe to, folks! We discuss her installment on how Dems are exploiting these splits, the deeper reasons for them, and how they reveal Trump's diminishing power more broadly. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

The Democrats' narrative is falling apart on all fronts. RFK Jr absolutely obliterated CNN's Dana Bash over the new Fauci revelations, which most MSM ignored entirely. Another state is investigating Fauci in the wake of his "5th Amendment" hearing. Colorado Socialist Milat Kiros openly embraced communism/socialism in a new MSM interview. A Pro-Mamdani podcaster is furious over being doxxed in Mamdani's latest plan to "tax the rich." Democrat donors are reportedly "on strike" ahead of the 2026 midterms amid the party's turmoil.

President Trump says the intervention of the United States' Gulf allies led him to put a pause on Iranian strikes, because there was a potential deal in the works. The president saying talks are a priority, with negotiations set to begin today. Iran has not publicly commented on Trump's remarks, with Trump declining to comment about possible U.S. troop movements out of the region.Senators on Sunday night, reached a deal to fund the government through December 11th, with a goal to avoid a shutdown during the midterm elections. The deal, approved by both Democrat and Republican leaders, would block a grant rule proposed by the Trump administration. White House officials say the rule was meant to “improve transparency, accountability, and oversight" for federal grants, but some Senators say it could lead to "politicizing grants."Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has formally rescinded the Department's $1.8-billion anti-weaponization fund. The move follows weeks of discussions with Senators who had raised concerns about the fund and delayed Blanche's nomination as Attorney General. The agreement could pave the way for Senator John Cornyn to support Blanche when the Senate Judiciary Committee votes on his nomination Tuesday.

Dominic Carter talks about Mamdani issuing mandatory photo ID for shoppers in his new government-run grocery stores and how hypocritical it is for a Democrat to request ID to buy groceries, but the party continues to say voter ID at elections is racist. Dominic also talks about how the WNBA is more concerned about focusing on trans rights over protecting the league's biggest ever star.
According to Federal Election Commission records, insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions are major supporters of the campaigns of U.S. representatives Melissa Bean, Sean Casten, Bill Foster, Mike Quigley, Delia Ramirez, and Brad Schneider. The DAILY HERALD reports that of the nearly $4.6 Million that all Political Action Committees have donated in these suburban midterm congressional races, less than 1% of that money is in support of Republicans. Records reveal that PACs representing financial institutions, pharmaceutical companies and defense contractors are the most generous to Chicago-area candidates.

Chuck Todd opens with the Iran war's arrival on American soil: hackers have hit water systems across multiple states in one of the most serious cyberattacks on U.S. water infrastructure in years and investigators probing an Iranian link. Trump's response tells you everything about the presidency in its current state — he didn't blame the attacker, he blamed the victim, using the hack as an occasion to attack Minnesota Democrats. Chuck’s question hangs over the whole segment: was Trump briefed on the Iranian connection and went after Minnesota anyway? Either way, the first instinct was to find a Democrat to blame, which Chuck calls a kind of polarization disease that leaves a president caring more about his narrative than about American citizens drinking the water. It fits a pattern the episode keeps circling: Jeanine Pirro presented false evidence to a grand jury blaming a former Olympian for damage to the White House reflecting pool, dropped the case when Interior produced documents proving otherwise, and Trump publicly disagreed with dropping it because he still insists it was vandals. Chuck argues negative information never reaches Trump, and people who bring him bad news don't last long — which is how you end up with a president insisting affordability is a Democratic scam Then, Chuck highlights a Wall Street Journal piece that lays out Trump's corruption — roughly $800 million raised through what amounts to an advertised pay-to-play scheme. Anti-corruption is a devastating midterm message sitting right there for Democrats to pick up… then Chuck Schumer rolled out a bill that Chuck calls a piece of garbage: it wouldn't even cover the conduct in the WSJ story, it's likely unconstitutional because it names individuals, and — most absurdly — it creates a new anti-corruption agency inside the executive branch, meaning a corrupt president would appoint its director and seven board members and, per the Supreme Court, could fire them at will. Congress can already do every bit of the oversight the agency would perform and Schumer's answer to executive corruption is to hand the executive more power and write Congress out of its own job. He closes on Michigan and Wisconsin as the clearest signals of where the Democratic Party is headed — Abdul El-Sayed running a movement inside a Senate race with the explicit goal of changing the party, DSA-endorsed Francesca Wong leading in Wisconsin while the establishment fails to coordinate against her — and on the DSA's new call to abolish the Senate, which Senate Democrats pushed back on without ever defending the institution. Chuck defends it himself: the Senate is a feature, not a bug, a brake on political extremism, and the right response to losing an argument is to win it rather than rewrite the rules. Then, Dr. Brian King — the former director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, who was placed on administrative leave in April 2025 as part of the mass HHS layoffs joins the Chuck Toddcast to explain what happens to public health when the agency charged with protecting it gets deliberately dismantled. King walks through the extraordinary progress America made reducing cigarette smoking over decades, and how quickly that's being unwound: the tobacco industry donated millions to Trump's PAC, executives pressured the White House directly, and the payoff has been regulatory capture and mounting pressure on the FDA to bring flavored products back to market. He's clear-eyed rather than absolutist on the science — combustible products are far and away the most harmful, nicotine itself is highly addictive but isn't what's killing people, though it's genuinely not risk-free for the adolescent brain — and he walks Chuck through the comparison to caffeine, the data on whether vaping serves as a gateway back into smoking, and what's actually known about nicotine pouches, where youth usage isn't high but stubbornly isn't declining either. The industry, meanwhile, is spending roughly a million dollars an hour advertising its products while fighting every government action to reduce smoking. The conversation turns to what actually works and what's being abandoned. King argues the two most effective interventions available are reducing nicotine levels in cigarettes and banning menthol, credits Congress for getting the Tobacco Control Act right, and stresses that Congress — not the FDA acting alone — has to be the one to regulate tobacco, which is precisely why sidelining the agency is so damaging. He and Chuck get into the questions nobody in Washington wants to answer: why are cigarettes legal at all, how are sugary alcoholic beverages not treated in the same category, and where did the money from the 1998 master settlement actually go. King is pointed that the MAHA movement, for all its rhetoric about chronic disease, has done nothing prominent on tobacco, and that the FDA is now actively undermining both the science and the law it was built to enforce. His closing warning is the bleakest note of the episode: America is in a public health apocalypse that will take decades to repair, it will be enormously hard to recruit a next generation into the field, the entire world will be harmed by the collapse of American public health infrastructure — and the impacts are only just beginning to show up. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit Watergate and Richard Nixon’s resignation, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

We end the month with a packed show. As we complete July, the moving parts in each critical event are increasing every day. Today, we deal with quite a few.Congress voted again on Thursday to try to force an end to the conflict with Iran. Several Republicans joined Democrats but were not successful in passing it;China vehemently denied the news report by Reuters that China was sending weapons to Iran;Federal Courts have denied the policies of the Trump Administration's policy of deporting illegal aliens without a court hearing again. Conventional wisdom was that because they entered illegally, they could be immediately deported.More massive theft from our government has been revealed: this time in Southern States. How much? $350 million!Two WNBA players were busted on live television for betting on the outcome of the WNBA All-Star game!
Dr. Anthony Fauci's explosive appearance on Capitol Hill is still reverberating in Washington after he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right during questioning about COVID-19. Now, some Senate Republicans are considering holding Fauci in contempt of Congress as Democrats push back. Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall, also a physician, joins the Rundown to weigh in on the fallout and the lingering questions surrounding the pandemic. Plus, with the August recess approaching, Senator Marshall discusses what Congress still needs to accomplish and the issues he's hearing about from voters back home. As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes industries, medicine is emerging as one of its fastest-growing frontiers. Dr. Peter Najjar of Johns Hopkins Health System joins the Rundown to explain how AI is already helping doctors reduce administrative burdens, improve patient care, and could one day transform the way diseases like cancer are diagnosed and treated.

Iris is back, and apparently we chose peace by discussing democratic socialism, Zionism, the war involving Iran, Israel and Palestine, Republican unity, Democratic dysfunction, and growing trans fatigue on the left. So, naturally, a very relaxing episode.We dig into the Democratic Socialists of America, what democratic socialism means in practice, and the controversy surrounding Michigan Representative Haley Stevens. We also examine why Republicans remain so effective at closing ranks and advancing their agenda, even when that agenda is cruel, incoherent or wildly unpopular, while Democrats continue treating internal disagreement like an Olympic event.Then we enter far more difficult territory: Zionism, Israel, Palestine and the broader conflict in the Middle East. We condemn the dehumanization and destruction of Palestinian civilians while also confronting the violence, extremism and political failures that make honest discussion of Israel and Palestine nearly impossible. There are no spotless institutions or easy heroes here.Finally, we discuss “trans fatigue” on the political left. Not fatigue with transgender people or trans rights, but frustration created by a specific, highly visible subset of online activists whose rhetoric, purity tests and refusal to tolerate disagreement can alienate potential allies. Republicans have weaponized that tension with brutal effectiveness, while Democrats remain seemingly incapable of defending trans people without either surrendering the conversation or pretending no internal problems exist.In this episode:• Democratic Socialists and the DSA• Haley Stevens and divisions within the Democratic Party• Why Republicans are better at party unity• Democratic infighting and ideological purity tests• Zionism, Israel, Palestine and civilian suffering• The war involving Iran and the danger of further escalation• Republican cruelty, propaganda and political discipline• Trans rights, online activism and “trans fatigue” on the left• Why difficult conversations are necessary, even when everyone becomes furiousContent note: This episode includes frank discussion of war, civilian deaths, antisemitism, Islamophobia, Zionism, trans politics and political extremism.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics
