Strong May Jobs Boom adds 172,000 jobs, beating expectations as unemployment holds at 4.3%. Meanwhile, the DSA continues its radical takeover of the Democratic Party, grooming far-left candidates to push a Marxist agenda under the DNC brand. We expose Ivy League operatives Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan behind DSA-backed hopefuls like Graham Platner in Maine. The New York Times delivers a soft catch and kill for Platner amid growing scandals, downplaying red flags as he challenges Susan Collins. We end with positive stories on prosecutions, fraud investigations and the reflecting pool is filling again in Washington, D.C.

In this episode of Socially Democratic, your Australian Labor politics and campaigns podcast, host Stephen Donnelly is joined by senior Democratic consultant and former Obama field organiser Katie Parsons for a deep dive into the state of the Democratic Party.The DNC finally released its post-mortem of the 2024 Harris presidential campaign. It was, to put it diplomatically, not great. Neither the campaign, nor the post-mortem. So what do we actually know about what went wrong, and is the party any closer to having answers?With the US midterms six months away and the 2028 presidential primary already taking shape, Katie and Stephen unpack it all:
Matt and Michael start with breath work and singing, and wander into why good things become mechanical, why we turn truths into idols, and what it costs to actually participate in the world. Then the strange phenomenon of calling accomplished people dumb, and the DNC's refusal to learn from defeat. Cheers y'all
Welcome back to another chaotic edition of True Thirty 30. This week, Joey Dumont and producer Sean X are diving headfirst into the absolute circus of American politics, where the news reads less like C-SPAN and more like a reality TV finale written by a caffeine-addicted raccoon.Here's what's in the blender today:The $1.776 Billion Illusion: We give you an update on that massive $1.776 billion political “slush fund” that got slapped down by Judge Kathleen Williams, all while checking out the frantic scramble to block the IRS from digging into Donald Trump's financial receipts.The Lone Star Showdown: Texas is giving us the ultimate political contrast. On Team Red, we have the Republican nominee, Attorney General Ken Paxton, a man whose resume includes securities fraud, FBI investigations, a historic impeachment trial, a $6.6 million whistleblower payout (courtesy of taxpayers), and a messy divorce. And for Team Blue, we have the Democratic challenger, James Talarico, a 38-year-old former middle school teacher and seminarian whose campaign got a viral turbo-boost thanks to late-night TV drama and some very salty DNC internet comebacks. (And yes, the polls say it's actually a tight race!)The Late-Night Timeline Meltdown: We try to decipher Donald Trump's recent 50-post marathon on Truth Social. Spoiler alert: It's pure, unadulterated digital chaos.The Pentagon's New Dance Craze: Finally, we wrap up with some high-quality military mockery as Secretary of “War” Pete Hegseth tries to show off his physical prowess with a Navy deck drill, but instead gives us a dainty man tiptoeing through the tulips.Grab your popcorn and stay amused; it's going to be a wild ride.

Ron Simmons guest hosts "Relatable" and breaks down the explosive DNC 2024 election autopsy that the party tried to bury. The report admits Democrats have lost ground at every level since Obama, failed to build a positive case for Kamala Harris, leaned too heavily on identity politics, and got crushed by Trump's “they/them” messaging — while ignoring rural voters and everyday economic concerns. Next, Ken Paxton crushes John Cornyn in the Texas Senate runoff as Trump-backed challengers continue reshaping the GOP, while Democrats grapple with their own messy primary fights and controversial nominees. Plus, the tragic story of a pro-Trump veteran killed after years of harassment, Giants QB Jaxson Dart introducing President Trump, and the glaring double standard from the Left when athletes go conservative. Lastly, Ron gives an update on the war with Iran and answers some viewer questions on a variety of topics, including the economy, when to buy a home, and AI.

Ralph speaks to independent investigative journalist Lylla Younes to discuss her reporting on Israel's assault on southern Lebanon. Then, Ralph and media studies professor Robin Andersen discuss her new book "The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of the Genocide in Gaza."Lylla Younes is a Beirut-based journalist. She is an editor at The Public Source, and a frequent contributor to Drop Site News.What we've seen in the past several days is really an escalation of what's been happening since March 2nd (when the US-Israeli assault on Iran took off) and then obviously the ceasefire… What we see is a campaign of ethnic cleansing from the Israeli military in Lebanon. And that has looked like the Gaza playbook sped up, you could say, in southern Lebanon. It's looked like invading and bulldozing homes; tearing up roads; destroying, booby-trapping, and detonating entire villages and cultural sites. It's looked like targeting medical personnel—killing, at this point, over 100 since March 2nd (this is in addition to the 130 or so who were killed in the last round of fighting in 2024). In addition to that, the targeting and killing of journalists who are reporting near the border. I think it's important to note there's practically no one left in the border region. Having a press vest on and a microphone and a camera is basically like having a target on your back at this point.Lylla YounesThe pager attack was, I think it's fair to say, one of the darker days of Lebanese history. I think regardless of people's feelings about Hezbollah, the fact that you are setting men alight literally in the streets in cities all across the country, killing children, maiming children—the mark of the pager attack was that these pagers that Hezbollah members were carrying exploded in their faces and blinded them. So you have thousands of blinded people, people missing fingers. And again, some of these are relatives of Hezbollah members. It was a massive event that overwhelmed hospitals across the country. And it also marked the beginning of that 66 day [period] of escalated fighting. And it showed how deeply infiltrated Hezbollah was in an intelligence capacity. This was quite a feat by the Israeli Mossad.Lylla YounesRobin Andersen is professor emerita of media studies at Fordham University and an award-winning author of a dozen single- and co-authored books. She serves as a Project Censored Judge, and contributes to the annual State of the Free Press. She is on the Board of Directors of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), where she also writes regularly, and is an Izzy Award Judge for the Park Center for Independent Media. Her latest book is The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel's Genocide in Gaza.In my book, I look at the directives of the New York Times and CNN, and then I compare it to media coverage. And I found that, in fact, these were the ways [the directives that were passed down] in which the media was presenting the genocide in Gaza…But in terms of the Israeli directives, CNN was putting their copy through their Jerusalem bureau and the IDF was looking at it. The New York Times was simply going along with Israeli talking points. So we did find that. And the real telling part was when they finally did say that Israel dropped the bomb, it was only when Israel had admitted—or put their propaganda to the next level, which was to claim that they had killed a Hamas commander or a fighter or somebody involved in Hamas. And we found that also in the BBC. So those were direct things that came from Israel. And abandoning their journalistic mission, the US media was basically following the dictates of a foreign government.Robin AndersenTheir form of censorship was basically murder. They knew that as the genocide wore on (and Israel controlled the narrative for a very long time, and then it started to collapse) as over time we saw on the internet, we saw on our handheld devices the documentation of what was happening [they'd lose control of the narrative]. And so in a total propaganda environment, what we have to have is no noise, no opposition, no alternative information. And Israel really was trying to achieve a total propaganda environment. It wasn't enough that they had establishment in legacy media and those media were allowing outside influences to direct their editorial decisions. That wasn't quite enough.Robin AndersenNews 5/29/26* This week, Democratic Socialist Mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani unveiled his plan to construct 200,000 new rent-stabilized homes in the city over the next decade, PIX 11 reports, making good on a campaign promise that many supposedly savvy political observers doubted. In addition to the new construction, Mamdani vowed to “preserve and stabilize” an additional 200,000 via New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) repairs, increased housing code enforcement, and a special focus on development in the Bronx. In his announcement, Mamdani said “We are the largest city in the nation. We have the resources, the talent, and the will to achieve this.”* In the federal government, one of the most controversial members of the Trump administration – former Democratic Congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard – has resigned her position as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). The BBC reports Gabbard is citing her husband's recent bone cancer diagnosis as the reason for her departure, but also notes that Gabbard “has largely been out of public view even as the US took military action against Iran, put pressure on Cuba, and…removed Venezuela's president.” In theory, these would all require a substantial degree of participation from and coordination with the DNI, but Gabbard seemed pointedly out of the loop. The actions of the administration have also been diametrically opposed to Gabbard's past foreign policy positions, defined by her 2020 slogan “no more regime change wars.” Others have noted that Gabbard now joins former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as high-profile women ousted from the Trump administration while glaringly incompetent men like Pete Hegseth remain in their posts.* Turning to Texas, this week saw a political bloodbath in the runoffs for the primaries held back in March. The topline of course is that scandal-plagued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, backed by Trump, triumphed over powerful longtime incumbent Senator John Cornyn. With the backing of the president, Paxton wiped the floor with Cornyn, winning around two-thirds of the vote. Yet Paxton goes into the general election against James Talarico very weak. 35% of those polled “Disapprove Strongly” of Paxton with only 15% saying they “Strongly Approve” according to the Texas Politics Project and even the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) condemned Paxton's “lies” “incompetence” personal scandals and corruption in now-deleted press releases. Further down the ballot, incumbent Democratic Members of Congress Al Green and Julie Johnson have been defeated in their primary run-offs, after being forced into Member-on-Member races by the Texas redistricting scheme.* Meanwhile in Michigan, NOTUS reports the Working Families Party (WFP) has endorsed progressive Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed. This primary campaign, with El-Sayed running against moderate Congresswoman Haley Stevens and liberal state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, has become a bruising tripartite affair pitting the three major factions within the Democratic Party against one another. Recently, El-Sayed has taken the lead in this race, which WFP hopes to help consolidate, saying it is prepared to go “all in” on this race. WFP is feeling confident following their role in helping to ensure victory for Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania and Analilia Mejia in New Jersey.* In the Garden State, Senator Andy Kim was caught in a cloud of pepper spray this week as he joined protestors outside of a privately-run ICE detention facility, NJ.com reports. The protests began as a result of an ongoing hunger strike inside of the facility, which has led many high-profile New Jersey Democrats – including Governor Mikie Sherill and Congressman Robert Menendez Jr. in addition to Senator Kim – to call for the facility's closure. Following the confrontation, Kim stated that “What we saw here is unfortunately just what we see all over the country…It's sad…sad day.” At another point, Kim said “The cruelty that you see behind me, this is the point…Right now, I'm trying to have them not point guns at us.”* In another case of outrageous overreach by the Trump administration, Fox reports the Treasury Department has served subpoenas to CodePink activist Medea Benjamin and political streamer and influencer Hasan Piker seeking “financial, logistical and communications information” regarding their recent humanitarian voyage to Cuba. According to this story, the Treasury probe – handled through their Office of Foreign Assets Control – is primarily concerned with whether the convoy “violated U.S. sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has condemned the probe, writing that “Weaponizing the Treasury Department to target Americans for exercising their constitutional right to support human rights is unacceptable.” CAIR went on to call the investigation “performative and politically-motivated,” contending that “Every American who believes in the rule of law and human rights should stand in solidarity with Medea and demand that the Treasury Department drop its McCarthyite witch hunt.”* The Democrats meanwhile are once again conspiring against one another. The Bulwark reports the campaign to unseat Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin is back on – and now includes viable alternatives. Previously, discontent was mounting but there did not appear to be any other options. Presently though, the list circulating in Democratic circles consists of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, former EMILY's List president Stephanie Schriock, former president of the Service Employees International Union Mary Kay Henry, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro, former chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Lavora Barnes, and former Wisconsin party chair Ben Wikler. Wikler, who revitalized the Beaver State party and placed second against Martin in the DNC Chair election, has “rebuffed discussions about leading the DNC, saying he wants nothing to do with effort to remove Martin and isn't interested in replacing him.” Yet even with no obvious alternative, calls are mounting for Martin to step aside. This piece cites statements by progressive Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, as well as a new initiative by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee on one side, alongside statements by more moderate Reps. Marc Veasey and Seth Moulton to the same effect. Still, many state parties and an equally ideologically diverse coalition is standing by Martin, so he will likely remain in place, at least for the time being.* Looking southward, this week Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that her country will host the Iranian team ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Per Al Jazeera, the United States, which is hosting many of the matches, including all three the Iranian team was scheduled to play in, expressed that they did not think it “appropriate” for Iranian team members to be in the country, “for their own life and safety.” FIFA approached Mexico as an alternative. In her daily press conference, Sheinbaum stated that “We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico.” The Iranian team has also announced they will be moving their training base from Tucson to Tijuana, but still plan to enter the United States to play their games – with Trump saying they will be “welcome,” despite the fact American authorities have yet to issue the necessary visas.* Our final two stories involve the Pope. First, AP reports that this week Pope Leo XIV made an historic apology not only for the Catholic Church's role in legitimizing slavery, but its failure to condemn the practice for centuries afterwards. Pope Leo called this a “wound in Christian memory.” Leo, the first American Pope, can point to both enslaved people and slave owners in his familial lineage, a remarkable vantage point from which to issue this statement in his first ever encyclical ”Magnifica Humanitas.”* Yet, for how historic this section of the encyclical is, it is not the portion of it that drew the most attention. That would be the section on Artificial Intelligence. Pope Leo writes “Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together.” Leo goes on to make the critical point that “technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate, and use it.” He further goes on to state that “the pressure of new ideologies or certain highly powerful interests” can reduce the human person to “a resource to be used and exploited” or evaluated “on what they achieve or produce,” whereas God creates each individual person in His image and imbues them with inherent dignity. It is impossible to say whether the Pontiff's words will move the titans of the tech industry to change their ways, but his moving rhetoric is sure to significantly influence the world's view of AI, both today and for students of history.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

As America approaches its 250th birthday, the media insists we're hopelessly divided and on the brink of a second Civil War. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers ask the question nobody in Washington wants answered: is that actually true — or is someone profiting from making you believe it? In this episode, Peter and Eric dig into the leaked DNC "autopsy" of the 2024 election — a 152-page report so damning that DNC chair Ken Martin tried to bury it before releasing it anyway. Wait until you hear what its "conclusion" section actually says. Plus: why Trump now owns the Republican Party outright, why the Democrats' biggest names can't win back rural America, and the foreign adversaries quietly funding the chaos.

The Asset team is releasing a 6-part audio drama Patriarchs. As the United States approaches 250 years of independence, the nation is asking hard questions about how it began, who paid the price, and what kind of republic it has become. Patriarchs, a loaded but apt term in today's vernacular, is a six-episode historical podcast drama that answers those questions by chronicling the most consequential relationship in early America: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, told in their own words. Subscribe hereWe begin with two former presidents looking back over a life together as friends, rivals, and uneasy family. From there, listeners travel back to the moment these strangers first step outside the Continental Congress to talk, two lawyers, two farmers, two men who have no idea they are about to remake the world. Every scene, every argument, every confession in Patriarchs is drawn from real letters, speeches, and memoirs, voiced by an ensemble of award-‑winning actors—with Stacy Keach starring as Thomas Jefferson. The result is an intimate drama of brilliant founders who are also flawed fathers, husbands, slaveholders, and partisans. We hear their partnership forged in crisis, as they push Congress toward independence and wrestle the language of the Declaration onto the page. Alongside them is Abigail Adams, one of the sharpest political minds of the age, whose letters slice cleanly through ego and ideology. Patriarchs also confronts the reality of slavery and sexual exploitation in the founding generation, centering Sally Hemings not as rumor but as a speaking, thinking presence whose choices and constraints shape Jefferson's life. Patriarchs is a chance to hear the founding generation as they really sounded: insecure, vain, idealistic, petty, courageous, haunted—often in the same breath in a rare combination of rigorous primary-source history and bingeable character drama, led by Stacy Keach and a veteran cast capable of carrying both prestige storytelling and wide audience appeal.

On Thursday, May 21, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) released a report examining the party's performance in the 2024 elections. The 192-page postmortem argued that Democrats must “organize everywhere to Win Anywhere” and particularly advocated for a “renewed focus on the voters of Middle America and the South.” However, the organization distanced itself from the document's findings. In a Substack post accompanying the report's release, DNC Chair Ken Martin said, “I don't endorse what's in this report, or what's left out of it.”Announcing our fourth guest for West Virginia!We're excited to announce that Free Press columnist Kat Rosenfield will join our on-stage lineup at Tangle's next in-person event in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, on June 14.

Fox News started last week predicting a massive U.S. military campaign that would crush Iran and end Trump's gamble in the Middle East. Within 24 hours Trump declared another pause in the conflict which forced Fox News to pivot to more mundane topics.By mid-week the war wasn't even a major story. The network's highest rated show The Five didn't even include a single segment about the war for the entire week.Fox News still hasn't found its footing on how to sell or promote this deeply unpopular conflict in the Middle East.President Trump wasn't helping as he held extended press conferences at the construction site of his beloved ballroom, rambled on about his reflecting pool project and exaggerated or fabricated his many perceived accomplishments in his second term.It seems Trump would rather obsess about his building projects and legacy than do much of anything to help the American public.Desperate for something to rev up its viewers Fox News demonized Democrats all over the country. The network had a field day with the botched DNC autopsy on its many failures surrounding the 2024 presidential election.Fox News downplayed a court settlement between Trump and the IRS that would dole out nearly $1.8 billion of taxpayer money in an Anti-Weaponization Fund to anyone who felt they were legally victimized by the previous administration. This could include violent rioters who beat law enforcement officers, terrorized lawmakers and damaged property at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.Jesse Watters dedicated a lot of airtime on recently released and declassified Pentagon files about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) commonly referred to as UFO's. The network also ramped up and expanded its coverage of fraud cases in Minnesota to include multiple Democratically run states it called ‘The Fraud Files.'The network also found creative ways to promote former reality star Spencer Pratt's campaign for mayor of Los Angeles. During breaking news segments about a wildfire in California Fox would include Pratt's social media posts about the disaster while leaving out the mayor's office response.Fox News also celebrated wins by Trump endorsed candidates in Republican primaries in multiple states.

In a world where sanity seems to be in short supply, this episode delves into the latest autopsy report from the DNC, revealing the party's biggest liability: wokeness. The speaker breaks down the findings, which suggest that Democrats' obsession with identity politics and cultural Marxism is driving away voters, particularly black Americans who are increasingly rejecting the party's message. The autopsy report, written by independent analyst Paul Rivera, highlights the party's struggles to connect with voters on issues that matter most, such as the economy, disaster relief, and housing affordability. Meanwhile, the party's continued emphasis on abstract issues like trans rights, racial divide, and climate alarmism is falling flat with voters. The speaker also touches on the recent controversy surrounding Governor Tim Walz's decision to honor George Floyd on Memorial Day, rather than the fallen heroes, and the implications of this move for the party's future. The episode also explores the tension between the party's ideals and the concerns of its voters, particularly black Americans who are increasingly looking for a party that will address their needs and concerns. The speaker discusses the impact of the party's policies on black communities, including the issue of voter ID and the importance of police presence in these areas. If you're interested in understanding the latest developments in the world of politics and the implications for the future of the Democratic Party, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's analysis and insights.

The master negotiator couldn't have been more clear how badly he wants out of his war, and now the Iranians are enjoying twisting the knife over a murky developing deal that will likely deliver sanctions relief and more. Trump keeps trying to shoehorn the Abraham Accords into the negotiations as a face-saving move, but there's no denying that the U.S. has made Iran a stronger power than it was before the war. Plus, Cuba looks to be in the crosshairs next, the Dems need someone at the DNC who can give donors confidence, and remembering those we've lost in service to this country.

So much for Trump's iron grip on the party. Just days after Thomas Massie's defeat, Republicans in the Senate and House begin to buck Trump on his top priorities: ballroom funding, the taxpayer-funded slush fund for his allies, and the war in Iran. Could it be that his surprise endorsement of Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in the Texas Senate primary didn't help matters? Faced with mounting leaks, the DNC finally releases its 2024 autopsy — an incoherent, error-riddled mess that Chairman Ken Martin admits was a failure from the start. The New York Times releases new polling data on what Democrats think the party needs to do to win in 2028. Then, California gubernatorial candidate Matt Mahan talks to Tommy about the race and his record as mayor of San Jose.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

The DNC releases its long-awaited 2024 election autopsy, faulting Democrats for major messaging failures around affordability, identity politics, and defining Kamala Harris, while avoiding some of the biggest questions surrounding Biden, Gaza, and Harris's path to the nomination. President Trump abruptly postpones a White House AI executive order signing ceremony, saying he feared the proposal could slow America's lead over China, as reports suggest both the substance of the order and the last-minute guest list caused friction. President Trump's late endorsement of Ken Paxton shakes up the Texas Senate runoff, fueling Republican fears that Paxton's baggage could put a once-safe GOP seat in play for Democrat James Talarico.

The fellas bullied the DNC into releasing their autopsy. After months of delays, leaks, infighting, and excuses from DNC leadership...we got him. DNC Chair Ken Martin has released the 2024 autopsy. What was supposed to explain Kamala Harris' crushing defeat instead exposed a party drowning in incompetence, denial, factional warfare, and pure political malpractice. Plus, Congressman Pat Harrigan joins the show ahead of Memorial Day to discuss honoring fallen service members, fixing military waste through “right to repair,” and why Republicans still have a major opportunity heading into the midterms if they stay focused on delivering results. #DNCautopsy #memorialday Learn more about your ad choices.

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 takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Branding vs. Education Clay Travis and Buck Sexton give an in‑depth critique of the American higher education system, with specific attention to grade inflation, standardized testing, and admissions fairness. The hosts highlight Harvard University’s decision to eliminate widespread grade inflation and reintroduce a bell curve grading model, noting that a large majority of students had been receiving A grades. They trace the historical roots of grade inflation back to the Vietnam War era, when professors were reluctant to assign low grades that could result in students being drafted, and argue that the COVID‑19 pandemic accelerated the trend by lowering academic expectations nationwide. The conversation expands into a broader analysis of elite universities such as Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, comparing traditional grading systems with pass‑fail models used in some law schools. While acknowledging arguments that elite students perform at a higher level, the hosts ultimately contend that grade inflation has eroded academic standards and made it harder to distinguish top performers. This leads into a discussion of the rise and fall of test‑optional admissions policies, which surged during 2020 but were later reversed after colleges found that standardized testing remained one of the most reliable ways to evaluate student readiness. Get Smarter Listening to This Ryan Girdusky joins the show to dissect the Democratic National Committee’s “autopsy” of the 2024 election loss, which returned Donald Trump to the presidency. The hosts highlight dramatic long-term political realignment trends, noting how Democrats have lost significant ground since 2009 across the Senate, House, governorships, and state legislatures, with Republicans gaining dominance in key regions. Girdusky argues the DNC report fails to address critical issues—especially Joe Biden’s age and Kamala Harris’s campaign weaknesses—while crediting effective Trump campaign messaging for reshaping voter perceptions. The discussion underscores how Republican gains, particularly in the South, reflect a broader collapse of historic Democratic strongholds and the lingering impact of the Obama era on local politics. MN Fraud Isn't a One-Off Clay and Buck discuss the breaking news of a major Minnesota fraud case, where the mastermind behind the “Feeding Our Future” scheme is sentenced to more than 41 years in prison for orchestrating a $250 million COVID relief fraud, funds originally intended to feed children. Clay and Buck highlight this case as a symbol of broader systemic government waste, fraud, and abuse, arguing that such large-scale theft underscores failures in federal oversight and accountability. The conversation expands into a critique of government spending and fiscal policy, with the hosts asserting that fraud like this is not an isolated incident but part of a larger trend of mismanagement of taxpayer dollars. They argue that calls from Democrats to raise taxes—particularly on high earners—ignore the core issue of inefficient spending, contending that Americans are already overpaying into a system riddled with waste. This naturally leads into a broader economic debate, including criticism of progressive figures such as Zohran Mamdani and commentary on Jeff Bezos’ public remarks about taxation and public spending, which the hosts use to argue that increasing tax revenue does not necessarily lead to better outcomes in public services like education. After the Sports High... Clay chats with Steve Eubanks, sports journalist and author of “Godball” - the first book to seriously examine the modern surge of public Christian faith in American sports. Steve interviewed high-profile Christian athletes including Scottie Scheffler, Riley Gaines, Kirk Cousins, Jonathan Isaac, Dabo Swinney, and others, allowing them to share—in their own words—the role faith plays in their careers and lives. Steve explores the pivotal moment one Supreme Court case made and offers rare insight from athletes and coaches into this growing revival of faith in sports.

Republicans attempt to defend President Trump's admission that he does not "think about Americans' financial situations," while his Department of Justice is on the verge of giving him billions of taxpayer dollars to settle the lawsuit he brought against his own IRS. Jon and Dan react to the president's financial priorities and then turn to Democratic strategy, including how they should be talking about the administration's corruption, how they're fighting back against Republican gerrymandering, and the latest on the DNC's refusal to release its 2024 autopsy.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
