Going into midterms, GOP is talking to Norm, they are banking on you. Tighten up messaging. Never start talking about the thing you don’t want Norm thinking about walking into the voting booth. 3 things to campaign on. Democrats are insane. Affordability. Deportations. Saudi Arabia is flush with cash, and modern military equipment from us. Houthi’s blowing pipelines up, how are they able to kneecap the nation? Saudi is soft. Carlos Marcello’s home in New Orleans. Louisiana knows how to party. Ugly reality of DC. Communists only look at the law as a tool for the revolution.Follow The Jesse Kelly Show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheJesseKellyShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Aaron McIntire covers President Trump announcing a 32 day campaign tour ahead of the midterms, along with the White House's relaunch of America.gov as an AI powered government services portal. He covers Senator Eric Schmitt's confrontation with former Special Counsel Jack Smith over text messages about a Hawks game, which Schmitt implied was evidence of contact with Fani Willis, only for it to turn out Smith was likely referring to an Iowa Hawkeyes basketball game. Aaron also covers the Supreme Court allowing the Trump administration to continue rapidly deporting migrants to third countries, and UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's announcement reopening a refugee resettlement program. He closes with a Memphis area Tennessee state house race that had no candidates on the ballot after the lone Democrat contender fell one signature short and later passed away.

Episode 1026 marks the 18th anniversary of the 2008 financial crash by pointing out MAGA voters' selective amnesia about who was president when, then pivots to a Springfield civic meeting on election security that carefully documented every safeguard in Illinois elections while never once naming why the "controversy" exists in the first place. Driftglass and Blue Gal unpack Midwestern code phrases like "this isn't about Republicans and Democrats," showing how the same words mean belligerent deflection from a Republican and nervous conflict-avoidance from a Democrat, both serving to protect MAGA feelings from plain facts. The episode also covers Senator Eric Schmitt's spectacular self-own trying to nail Jack Smith with a mixed-up basketball game, and John Fetterman fundraising off Republican donor email lists that compare a Democratic Senate candidate to a terrorist. It's about the exhausting art of coaxing a skittish, dangerous animal into a pen without ever naming what it actually is.Links for this episode: Illinois Times Article: https://www.illinoistimes.com/news/officials-tackle-election-misinformation/Rolling Stone: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/eric-schmitt-botches-bid-corner-jack-smith-basketball-game-1235633725/Editorial Board: How the rightwing media can turn humiliation into victory https://www.editorialboard.com/how-the-rightwing-media-can-turn-humiliation-into-victory/Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Upcoming Standup Shows Los Angeles 10/9 8p San Diego 10/15 930p Chandler, AZ 10/21 7p www.RushHourWithDave.com/Links This morning on The Rush Hour Podcast, Dave Neal breaks down new polls showing a surge for Democrats and what that momentum could mean heading into the midterms. Plus, Jack Smith's account of Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election puts the fight over democracy back in the spotlight. We unpack the allegations, the political fallout, and the questions Republicans still need to answer—all with sharp commentary and a little morning humor.

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.

Paul Rieckhoff joins the MSNBC table with Nikki McCann Ramirez of Rolling Stone and former Harris senior advisor Mike Nellis to break down the political sucking chest wound of Trump's Iran war — and how it is bleeding into every corner of the 2026 midterms. From Texas, where Republicans are burning nine figures to defend a state that was never supposed to be competitive, to Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, and Alaska, where independent veterans are running as kryptonite to GOP incumbents, this is the clearest read yet on why Trump is now more unpopular with true independents than Nixon at the height of Watergate. Then MSNBC Pentagon reporter Priya Sridher joins with exclusive reporting on the USS Lincoln, the carrier that just broke a modern deployment record, at least eight suicide attempts in the strike group, and a 19-year-old sailor charged with malingering after jumping overboard. Paul connects the dots: an abused force, an unauthorized war, a Pentagon purging 20% of its generals and admirals, and a political class — in both parties — that still hasn't figured out how to stop any of it.

I have 5 reasons why Republicans are in a better place than the Democrats going into the midterms. But, there are also 2 things that could change in the near future. Either way, we should have a good attitude going into these midterms.

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?

Steve says it's time for Republicans who are running for all political offices to go hyper-negative in their messaging — or risk losing in November. Then, Steve Cortes joins the program to discuss the big news about the largest planned steel mill in U.S. history — coming to Iowa — and why it's a tangible example of Trump's trade policies working. In Hour Two, Fake News or Not examines whether Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) took a misstep in a new ad she released.

When will people be held accountable for what we had to endure during the Biden regime? Republicans are letting this opportunity slip through their fingers. People like former special counsel Jack Smith need to face justice for weaponizing the justice system. If Democrats regain power in the midterms, they'll waste no time getting back to their old tricks. But they also revealed their endgame: to flood the country with foreigners to replace Americans. Brad is a jobless, white, 20-year-old man who lives off of welfare and your money … that doesn't sound right, because statistically it's not. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Ark.) put out a campaign video depicting this Brad, and the backlash is bringing up facts she wasn't ready for. I thought we were past this woke nonsense of not being able to portray any person of color in a negative light ... even if the statistics back it up. Statistics don't lie, and facts aren't racist. It just doesn't seem like the Lindsay Clancy trial will ever end. Her attorney Kevin Reddington has been vilifying the holdout juror since the mistrial. He has attempted to make the juror seem like the criminal for “obstructing the law.” But now we have heard from the juror for the first time: Michael Desronvil had made a statement redirecting the focus off himself and toward remembering the three children who were slaughtered. Shady forces are at play in the midterm elections. Texans for Lawsuit Reform has been working against Ken Paxton while calling itself bipartisan. The group has donated millions to Texas Democrats. Why would an organization claiming to advance conservative ideas in Texas be undermining its state's Republican nominee? If James "six-genders" Talarico claims the senate seat in Texas, I think we know who to blame.  ► Watch my newest H-1B investigation here:https://youtu.be/zL7JuOk4nBQ ► Watch my original video featuring Nagarjuna: https://youtu.be/2vVn35456P4?si=WKMmZdkhJpMTquyh ► Catch up on all my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area.  ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1   ► Home Title Lock Go to https://hometitlelock.com/sara and use promo code SARA to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!

AOC stood in front of a packed New York hall and told the room ICE is Palantir, ICE is AI, ICE is facial recognition, ICE is surveillance, and ICE is coming after you regardless of your status. This was not a gaffe. At a Students vs. Billionaires town hall in Ithaca, in front of more than 1,000 people, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for abolishing ICE and framed the agency as a post-9/11 surveillance-state shop tied to private contractors, not ordinary law enforcement. She named Palantir. She brought up facial recognition. She said ICE is going after every man, woman, and child because detention company CEOs have profits to post at the end of the quarter. Then she aimed it at the crowd: coming after you, status or not. That is the Democrats' save-immigration push heading into the midterms. Not a fight about the border. A scare pitch that turns immigration enforcement into a dragnet aimed at citizens, so that the people who actually entered illegally drop out of the story. "Regardless of your status" is the tell. If the agency is coming after everyone, then enforcing the law stops being law enforcement and starts sounding like a conspiracy. Pat walks through the quote, who she was talking to, and what that framing is built to do before November. Pat also covered: Talarico turns a miracle into a public option: Jesus healed the sick and never billed a deductible, so free health care is Scripture. Bush's architect now says mass deportation went too far: Stick to the criminals, leave the Home Depot alone. Katmai's fattest-bear vote ends today: 89 Backpack vs. 910, Beadnose's daughter. YouTube and Meta will sell ads for the Oct. 9 Musk documentary after first refusing the trailer. X, which Musk owns, still will not. Pugh left a Doomsday production clash for Brian Eno's Together for Palestine concert, which raised more than $2 million.

Republicans have been in charge of Texas for 30 years.  They have increasingly refused to use their power to actually make the state, politically and policy-wise, a red state. So now voters are threatening to paint it officially blue. I'm joined by Texas Rep. Brian Harrison (R) to examine why Republicans are struggling in a state that should be one of the strongest conservative strongholds in America. Harrison argues that weak GOP leadership, failure to deliver results, runaway government spending, property taxes, corporate welfare, data-center subsidies, and literally handing power to people like James Talarico have created an opening for Democrats to gain ground. The answer, he says, isn't simply to tell voters to fear Democrats. Republicans need to demonstrate what their control of government can actually accomplish. Harrison lays out an aggressive agenda for a Texas special session — including major property-tax relief, ending corporate welfare, addressing data centers and Flock cameras, reducing government spending, cutting gas taxes, and tackling affordability. Do Republicans, including those who feign outrage over Democrats, actually want to win or not?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1952 ISAAC ASSIMOV I, ROBOTGUEST: Liz Peek Liz 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.

1920 DODGE MOTORS, DETROIT MICHIGANMichigan 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 4

Right now, the prediction markets have James Talarico at about 60–40, and the polling shows either a tied race or one where he's slightly ahead of Ken Paxton. But I live in the most liberal enclave of Texas, and this doesn't feel like Beto mania. You see Talarico signs around Austin, but you don't see the same cultural energy. Maybe that's by design. Talarico is trying to appeal more to the middle, and Beto lost in a favorable environment during Trump's first midterm.The biggest wind at Talarico's back is the environment. Trump is historically unpopular, gas prices are high, inflation is persistent, and people are paying more to get the same or less. That's a recipe for killing presidential and party momentum. It would help Republicans if they had a dynamic candidate, but Paxton is a big fat bullfrog who mostly sits on a log and puffs his neck. Mr. Saturday Night he isn't, and his lack of charisma may be the least of his problems. He's rife with scandal, including a divorce from his very loyal wife on biblical grounds.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.My crystallized view is that these are two weak candidates. Talarico is weak because of who he is: a slight guy from the most progressive place in a state that isn't progressive, with years of statements from the legislature that can and will be used against him. He took progressive positions during a progressive age that are no longer fashionable. That would normally be enough to sink a candidate, but it hasn't because I think he's running a good campaign. The upside comparison is Brock Purdy — undersized, underqualified, carrying baggage from his past, but succeeding when he finally gets his shot.Talarico's campaign still seems unsure how to sell him. One ad puts him in a rocking chair on a front porch somewhere outside Austin, trying to reassure religious voters that he's just like everyday Texans. But the chair's back towers over his head, making an already slight candidate look even smaller. Paxton's campaign, meanwhile, stinks on ice. Until MAGA Inc. and the Senate Leadership Fund arrived, he barely had a pitch. He doesn't talk to the camera, doesn't appear in his own ads, and hasn't offered a basic argument about what he accomplished as attorney general. The outside groups are now doing that work for him.The coalition problem cuts both ways. Talarico needs the Democratic city centers, Black voters around Houston, and Hispanics along the border who moved toward Trump in 2024. But Jasmine Crockett still hasn't bridged the gap between Talarico and Black voters after losing the primary. She released an endorsement list without his name on it. Paxton needs the suburbs, rural Texas, and as many Trump-voting Hispanics as possible, but John Cornyn seems perfectly happy to watch him crash and burn after losing the Republican primary. Cornyn and Crockett should form the Sore Losers Guild.So, does Talarico have a shot? Yes, but everything has to go right. He got the opponent, environment, and campaigns he wanted, but it's like needing a coin to land tails 10 times — getting nine doesn't matter if the last flip is heads. Texas remains highly polarized, voters still dislike the Democratic Party, the Republican advantage may improve if gas prices fall, and Democrats are being badly outspent. I don't think backing Talarico is ridiculous, but with plus money available on a Republican in Texas, I'd feel like a real horse's ass on election night if I passed it up.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:45 - Texas00:23:07 - Update00:24:18 - America.gov00:27:39 - Iran00:32:32 - AI00:34:28 - Interview with Juliegrace Brufke01:15:34 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Tuesday marks 35 days until federal elections will be held for all 435 U.S. House seats and 35 of the 100 U.S. Senate seats. Additionally, 36 states will elect governors and 46 states will vote on a total of 6,139 state legislators. Currently, most election models heavily favor Democrats to take back the House and give the party a slight edge to flip the Senate.We're launching something new.In today's edition of Press Pass, I wrote about going back to my roots (more writing, more brevity, more personality).

Jimmy Kimmel is doing his show from New York this week, and Mayor Mamdani was a guest. President Trump announced yesterday that the biggest steel plant in the country is going to be built in Iowa. Senator John Kennedy is working on a bill that would stop presidents from naming buildings or anything else after themselves while they're still alive. Iran's economy is hanging by a thread because of the war; Mark talks about what that could mean going forward. Billy Joel is putting over 70 of his motorcycles up for auction, and some of the price tags are wild. Rod Stewart says he's retiring. The new “Comics Unleashed” show on CBS with Byron Allen is doing so well in the ratings that CBS is making a primetime special. Mayor Mamdani apparently texts with President Trump a lot. A terrorist attack aimed at a U.S. military base in the UK was stopped before it could happen. Former special counsel Jack Smith is testifying before a committee today. The Yankees wildcard game starts tonight. Good Morning America might be shaking things up after losing to The Today Show in the ratings for the first time in 15 years—some people think it's because the hosts don't get along. Mayor Mamdani is also going after a few big-name CEOs and billionaires in New York, which could stir up trouble for him. Mark interviews NY Post journalist Michael Goodwin. They dig into why everyone's talking about Mamdani getting cozy with Governor Hochul, which could be because she just wants to win the election. They also talk about what Bruce Blakeman needs to do to beat Hochul in their upcoming debate. If he wants to win, he's got to get a bigger turnout in NYC.

The laughs continue with Yung Miami’s livestream exchange, where a married man turns down her compliment-driven advances by proudly citing his wife, two daughters, and 2.75% mortgage rate—setting off a hilarious debate about loyalty, rejection, and whether she was actually embarrassed. The conversation shifts to the economy as the administration’s ban on roughly $1 billion in Canadian imports—including selected alcoholic beverages, whey-based dairy products, and motorcycles—takes effect amid an escalating trade dispute, even though the targeted goods represent only a small share of total U.S.-Canada commerce. LeToya Luckett also joins the crew to preview the One Voyage Cruise, sharing her love of Virgin Voyages’ food, entertainment, and destinations, offering packing tips for Scarlet Night, and reflecting on acting, music, hosting, Tyler Perry, and the possibility of a Destiny’s Child reunion.
