Terrifying for passengers aboard a FlyDubai plane when the radical Muslim jihadi co-pilot stabs his Jewish captain in the cockpit and tries to fly the plane into the ground, ala Flight 93. Why does the media have to lie to protect Muslims who chant death to America? Some of America's doctors who helped elect Trump and have supported RFK's MAHA agenda say they will sit out the midterms if the administration doesn't rescind the FDAs approval of anything mRNA. The generic ballot shows a virtual toss up for the midterms - which is not the news the DNC needed to hear.
Democrats vote against giving a Fauci assistant immunity so she could testify freely about deleting thousands of Fauci emails over several decades. But why? Why do democrats work so hard to protect people who hurt us or break our laws? Nic Hulscher has some intriguing insight. Adam Carolla interviews former democrat strategist Lindy Li about the hate she received for walking away from the DNC. Listen to her reveal the Biden administration's desperate attempts to cover up Joe's mental collapse. Remember how Joe Scarborough called it "the best Biden ever?" Were THOSE talking points, too?
Lindy Li raised millions for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as a member of the Democratic Party's National Finance Committee, the party's most exclusive donor tier. Then she walked away. Li joins Dr. Drew to explain what she saw inside the DNC donor machine and why she left the party, moving into GOP strategy and fundraising and, in January 2025, joining President Donald Trump's inaugural fundraising committee. In her book Unburdened, Li says the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline was widely known, that Kamala Harris was vetting VP candidates within hours of the debate, and that the Harris campaign paid $45 million to celebrities through their own production companies. Lindy blames Biden and Harris for the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America, which claimed multiple victories in 2026. Also on the show: retired University of Ottawa English professor Janice Fiamengo, author of The Goddess That Failed and former feminist scholar, examines how modern radical feminism dismantled merit in academia, damaged family structures, and eroded legal fairness for men and fathers. Lindy Li is a political strategist, commentator, and author of Unburdened. She is a former Democratic fundraiser turned GOP strategist, and co-hosts the podcast Her Take.

Fox News jumps to the defense of fake news outlets CNN, MS-NOW and Politico and agrees to suspend its pool camera coverage of President Trump and his daily activities. And America celebrates! Less fake news is good for everyone's diet - and the President seems to relish holding the cards in this poker standoff. Ex-CNN hack Jim Acosta calls for a full media blackout of Trump and his administration that would give many independent journalists a deserved seat at the table. The DNC puts on a good face, but its money problems are really starting to add up.

A federal investigation into main democrat money-funneler Act Blue shows a major cover-up of shady, dark-money donations. Does that mean that democrats here at home aren't willing to open up their wallets for the DNC? How those "dark donors" (George Soros) are also bankrolling some of America's most corrupt and "progressive" DAs, like Larry Krasner - who's also now under investigation. James Talarico's lesbian minister says the quiet part out loud on undercover video: This "new" and more moderate James is all an act... and you'll see it if he gets elected.
On this edition of The Adult in the Room, Victoria Taft is joined by Marco Polo founder and former White House aide Garrett Ziegler for an explosive, inside look at the publication of the 644-page Report on the Biden Laptop and the multi-year legal war that followed:The Dossier That Documented 459 Crimes: Garrett Ziegler details how Marco Polo authenticated 128,000 emails, thousands of photos, and financial records from Hunter Biden's hard drive, cataloging 140 business crimes, 191 sex offenses, and 128 drug-related violations with over 2,000 archived footnotes.The Lawfare Lawsuit Over "Redacted Genitalia": Ziegler recounts the bizarre California federal lawsuit brought by Hunter Biden—alleging data modification because Marco Polo covered the genitalia of Hunter and dozens of women with black boxes—and breaks down the ongoing Ninth Circuit appeal for legal fee reimbursement.Foreign Influence & The FARA Blueprint: A forensic examination of the foreign millions funneled to the Biden family across Ukraine (Burisma), China (CEFC), Romania (Gabriel Popoviciu), Mexico (the Magnani family), and Kazakhstan (Kenneth Rakishev), including direct violations of 18 U.S.C. § 219 by public officials.The Federal Judiciary's "Priestly Class": Ziegler introduces Marco Polo's upcoming 18-month project to build a public dossier profiling all 850 lifetime federal judges, sparked by his experiences with Biden-appointed judge Hernan Vera.The Seth Rich Mystery: Ziegler shares insights from his investigation into the DNC leak, revealing the existence of a suppressed second police report detailing multiple attackers.The Lindsay Clancy Holdout Juror Breaks His Silence: Victoria and Garrett review revelations from the lone holdout juror who refused to acquit Lindsay Clancy on insanity grounds, exposing that he stood alone as a Black Catholic Republican against a pro-insanity jury.
P.M. Edition for Sept. 14. Industry leaders' calls for a slowdown in AI development are rippling through tech, government and financial markets. As some look at what more guardrails could look like in practice, some—including President Trump—say they're unnecessary since they could give China a competitive leg up. WSJ chief China correspondent Lingling Wei discusses how the debate is going over there. Plus, chip stocks fell over the prospect of a pullback in spending on the AI buildout… and the 10-year yield briefly touched over 5% as instability in the Middle East pushed up oil prices. We hear from markets reporter Hannah Erin Lang about what drove market moves today. And Democrats have momentum as they eye control of Congress. But as WSJ national political reporter Eliza Collins explains, there are also risks that could trip them up. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

DC reporter John Fredericks joins us live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas with his take on the GOP's midterm convention. How did Trump's $5K pledge to every American adult land with the audience- when the President said the GOP must keep the House and Senate in order for those checks to start printing? John Fetterman makes a surprise appearance at the convention and the media dogpile begins. Can democrats risk ostracizing the one senator who isn't a DNC rubber stamp? And would the GOP seriously want him? You decide.

Key topicsIn this episode, Susan explains that getting pregnant with Nicholas took about a year, similar to her experience conceiving Maddie, but for different reasons.She shares that after Maddie's birth she had prolonged bleeding, which led to a DNC after a retained piece of placenta was found.Susan describes how that earlier procedure likely contributed to Asherman syndrome, with significant scar tissue in the uterus discovered during fertility workup.We discuss the repeated procedures she needed to clear scar tissue, including use of a Foley balloon to keep the uterus open while it healed.Susan talks about the emotional stress of fertility treatment while starting her first attending job and trying to manage clinic schedules, OR time, and appointments.She reflects on how hard it was to feel like a responsible new attending while also dealing with fertility care and early pregnancy visits.Susan compares postpartum anxiety with her first baby to the second time around, saying she was less overwhelmed, less intrusive-thought driven, and more able to recognize hard phases as temporary.She talks how the second baby changed the logistics of parenting, especially with a toddler already at home and less free time to ruminate.We discuss the difference between emotional and logistical difficulty when returning to work, including the intense feelings around daycare dropoff the first time.Susan explains how her family planned childcare coverage around the reality of daycare sickness by splitting parental leave and saving time for sick days.She talks through the weekly division of labor at home, including dropoffs, pickups, bottle prep, meals, and the constant negotiation between flexibility and structure.Susan shares that outsourcing more tasks, like laundry, feels like the next step, even though she still struggles with guilt about paying for help.Susan discusses how hard it can be to accept help with tasks you are technically capable of doing yourself.Susan says one of the biggest mindset shifts has been redefining what a successful day looks like, especially when parenting young children and working long hours.She names watching her two children interact as one of the most meaningful parts of parenting now.Susan also reflects on the strange, awe-inspiring biology of motherhood, including thinking about the eggs that existed in her body long before her children were born.Timestamps00:00 - Reconnecting with Susan and introducing the second-baby conversation00:41 - Nicholas turns one and the family keeps his birthday low-key01:30 - Getting pregnant with Nicholas took another long road03:47 - The postpartum bleeding after Maddie and the retained placenta04:44 - Fertility testing leads to an unexpected diagnosis05:18 - Discovering scar tissue and Asherman syndrome06:14 - Multiple procedures with Foley balloons to reopen the uterus07:16 - What it felt like to hear grim fertility statistics at nearly 4008:32 - Managing pregnancy while starting a new attending job09:47 - Balancing fertility appointments with clinic days and OR scheduling10:47 - Why pregnancy felt hard to fully believe until much later12:36 - Nicholas arrives and the second postpartum experience begins13:02 - Less anxiety, fewer intrusive thoughts, and more emotional ease14:28 - Why the second baby phase felt more peaceful overall15:19 - Postpartum anxiety, vigilance, and intrusive thoughts16:39 - Breastfeeding with less pressure the second time around18:21 - The emotional pain of first daycare dropoff19:41 - Why returning to work was harder logistically than emotionally20:58 - Leaving a child at daycare versus leaving with familiar help23:57 - Leave policy discussion gets cut from the conversation24:57 - Why childcare planning starts with backup support25:56 - Splitting parental leave and saving time for sick days27:22 - Weekly dropoff and pickup coordination between parents28:16 - The daily battle over meals, bottles, and night versus morning tasks31:17 - Why outsourcing laundry feels like a realistic next step32:31 - Hiring help for meal prep and folding laundry, and still feeling weird about it35:29 - Relearning that not every productive task is the right task36:27 - Redefining a successful day beyond housework and to-do lists37:32 - Cleaning as a way to regain control in a chaotic season38:29 - Favorite and least favorite parts of parenting39:19 - Watching siblings interact and the wonder of family biology40:40 - The “baby store” joke and closing thoughtsSupport the show

CannCon and Ashe in America finally land a guest CannCon has chased for years, and it's personal, since Tim Canova is a law professor at CannCon's alma mater and once ran for Congress in his district. A lifelong Kennedy Democrat turned establishment thorn, Tim recounts his against-all-odds 2016 primary run at DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, built on 12,000 door knocks a week, a surprise Bernie Sanders endorsement, and a national map lighting up with small-dollar donations. Then comes the gut punch: local media posting results with 70 percent of precincts reporting before a single ballot was counted, polls that vanished, and a ballot-destruction saga that followed. Along the way the crew connects it to Kari Lake, Pennsylvania, WikiLeaks, and the machinery that protects incumbents. A rare insider's view of how a party crushes its own insurgents. Plus AI data centers, loaded gun coffee, and the Creature from Jekyll Island.
Vaccine skepticism and distrust of pharmaceutical companies long predated RFK, Jr.'s 2024 presidential campaign. But the distrust of mainstream medical authority has now grown so deep that the United States can no longer contain the spread of measles. The country's measles-vaccination rates have dropped below the threshold for herd immunity. Obviously, Trump's misleading vax ruminations from the Oval Office have not helped the matter. The New Yorker's Ruby Cramer discusses her reporting on one family's frightening medical experience after one parent fell down the MAHA rabbit hole. Plus: The administration has given Big Ag a pass, Democrats should try recapturing health-conscious voters, the overlooked case of an American shot by immigration thugs, and the surprising backstory of Kari Lake becoming ambassador to Jamaica.

Ralph speaks with Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff for Colin Powell, about the fall of the American Empire and self-proclaimed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. Then we welcome the CEO and co-founder of the Canadian-based organization Corporate Knights, Toby Heap, to break down Trump's unprecedented trade war with our closest ally. Plus, Ralph has some choice words for Hakeem Jeffries and his meeting with Jared Kushner and for Hillary Clinton and her take on the war with Iran.Lawrence Wilkerson is a retired U.S. Army colonel. Over his 31 years of service, Colonel Wilkerson served as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff from 2002 to 2005, and Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989 to 1993. Colonel Wilkerson also served as Deputy Director and Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia, and for fifteen years he was the Distinguished Visiting Professor of Government and Public Policy at the College of William and Mary. He is currently a Senior Fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network, senior advisor to the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and co-founder of the All-Volunteer Force Forum.Two-thirds of the world now thinks that we are an enemy of their state. Two-thirds of the world. And it happens to be the two-third that has the greatest amount of the GDP in the world.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonI've lived for 81 years, almost 82, and I've watched my country go to hell right in front of my face… And the billionaires who want all of this to happen, they do not want a democracy. A democracy is fallible. A democracy can't beat China. A democracy can't beat Russia. A democracy can't even beat Iran. They want a technocracy that is run by them, armed by them, technical revolution by them. They want all of this, and oh by the way they want to live to 150 while they're doing it too.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonEvery freaking hour they create a series of war crimes in Iran. Every freaking hour they perpetrate war crimes in the Persian Gulf. Every freaking hour they perpetrate war crimes in Lebanon with Israel. “What's new?,” I want to say. We are a criminal state. There is no other way to describe it. We are a criminal state. We pay no attention whatsoever to domestic or international law. Only when it benefits the person who is doing the deed do we pay any attention at all.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonToby Heaps is the CEO and co-founder of Corporate Knights, and Editor-in-Chief of Corporate Knights magazine. He spearheaded the first global ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations in 2005, and in 2007 coined the term “clean capitalism.”What we're seeing is a sort of political physics—for every action is an equal and opposite reaction. Canada has in many ways benefited and rallied around our nationhood. We're often not the most boisterous or loudest type of folks. But this continued disrespect for our statehood and the continued attacks and the unreasonableness and the unfair play, our prime minister said something to the effect of: when the United States signs something, it's in pencil. It's really denigrating the United States' reputation globally and in Canadians' minds.Toby HeapsNews 8/28/26* This week, the left-wing insurgency in the Democratic Party scored several new victories. First, NBC reports that in Oklahoma, N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Markwayne Mullin, who Trump selected to lead the Department of Homeland Security following the resignation of Secretary Kristi Noem. Thomas will go up against Republican Congressman Kevin Hern in November. Unfortunately, Thomas stands little chance of winning the state, which has not elected a Democratic Senator since 1990. Thomas is a member of the Chickasaw Nation and identifies as a Democratic Socialist, but is “not yet” a member of DSA.* Next, in California, Democracy Now! reports progressive state lawmaker Aisha Wahab has prevailed in the special election to fill the seat vacated by disgraced former Congressman Eric Swalwell. This piece notes that Wahab “overcame a flood of attack ads from pro-Israel groups,” which sought to bolster her Democratic primary rival, Melissa Hernandez. In an interview, Wahab said that she “appreciates” voters in her district for “seeing through” the “lies that were spread by AIPAC.” Wahab will make history as the first Afghan American in Congress and has called for the United States to engage with the Taliban government and attempt to “[steer] them in the right direction” on human rights.* In Georgia, the Hill reports another progressive – Everton Blair – won the special election to fill the seat of Congressman David Scott, who passed away in April during his 12th term in the seat. Blair, the former chair of the Gwinnett County School Board, defeated Scott's daughter Marcye Scott. However, Blair will only represent this seat until the end of the year. Beginning in January, State Rep. Jasmine Clark, who won the May primary, will fill the seat for the 120th Congress.* Meanwhile, in the Cornhusker State, the Nebraska Examiner reports that the “Legal Marijuana NOW U.S. Senate candidate Mike Marvin announced he can't put more ‘energy' into the Senate race because of health issues and endorsed nonpartisan U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn.” Marvin will remain on the ballot, but is “urging all who supported [him] to now support…Osborn.” This piece notes that this announcement comes on heels of reporting by Flatwater Free Press showing that two staffers from Osborn's 2024 independent Senate campaign joined the Legal Marijuana NOW executive board and sought to dissolve the party from the inside. This, combined with the fact that former Democratic Senate nominee Cindy Burbank paid Mike Marvin's $1,740 candidate filing fee and dropped out of the race one day after the secretary of state verified Osborn's signatures to be on the fall ballot has fueled speculation that these were coordinated efforts to clear the field for Osborn. Marvin for his part disputes this and says he never planned to leave the race. Osborn is quoted saying “We hope to earn the support of the LMN voters and hope that we can represent their concerns well in the US Senate.”* In more third party news, Trump has launched new broadsides against the emerging ex-MAGA clique – consisting of Tucker Carlson, Congressman Thomas Massie, and former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. According to the Hill, Trump attacked the group, said to be exploring the possibility of founding a new right-wing party, calling Carlson “a loser,” Greene “a highly neurotic woman” and Massie a “real JERK” on Truth Social. The president added, “What a team this would be, THREE LOSERS, and a pocketful of change!...The only chance they have is to join the Radical Left Dumocrats, and try breaking into the Primary System. To all of them I say, PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!” The proximate cause of this latest flare-up between the camps is Trump's decision to allow in 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to be imported in the next 90 days, a move Massie called “worse than socialism.” Greene, who has been perhaps the most vocal defector from the MAGA camp, said “He attacks us with such vitriol because we actually are everything he claimed to be…he has proven as President that he is nothing more than a neocon puppet for Israel, corporations, big donors with special interests, and his dear friends in the Epstein class…We never changed, Trump did.”* Another story from this side of the aisle comes to us from NOTUS, which reports that an “unknown actor” has stolen over $16,000 from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). This incident, alternatively characterized as a “theft” from a “foreign country” or simply a “fraud,” occurred in early July, when the NRCC “attempted to pay a bill from Ranger Wi-Fi Consulting, a Texas-based firm that specializes in helping clients ‘optimize their wireless networks while ensuring healthy security measures are in place.'” Seeking to assuage the fears of donors, NRCC spokesman Will Kiley told the press that “Protecting donor funds is a top priority for the NRCC,” and vowed that the committee is “working to recover the funds, and…taken steps to ensure it can't happen again.” Listeners might remember that in July, the DNC admitted that they had fallen prey to a scammer, losing almost $30,000 in the process. It would seem that these committees do not have functional safeguards against such schemes.* Our final stories this week all deal with the Middle East. First up, Axios reports that while AIPAC was gearing up for a major ad blitz in Michigan against Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed and on behalf of Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers, those plans have apparently been iced at the behest of the Rogers campaign. According to this story, Rogers believes that AIPAC spending in the Democratic primary – over $30 million on behalf of El-Syed's rival Haley Stevens – actually helped boost El-Sayed's candidacy, making his opposition to AIPAC a “centerpiece of his…campaign, using the group's spending against him to portray Democratic opponent Haley Stevens as beholden to the pro-Israel lobby.” Rogers fears the same fate, so he has sought to keep his distance from AIPAC while his allies are urging AIPAC to “get involved without putting the group's name front and center.” However, Rogers' attempts to put some daylight between his campaign and AIPAC has resulted in the latter turning cold towards the Republican candidate. Republicans now worry that AIPAC will “sit out the general election entirely.” As for the perception of AIPAC in Michigan, a recent poll found that “55% of Michigan voters oppose continued U.S. aid to Israel.”* On the other end of the Michigan political spectrum, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding that he “ensure the immediateand permanent release of U.S. citizen Sama Safi, a 20-year-old university student with a severe complex chronic health condition, who the Israeli military has arbitrarily and wrongfully detained since June 2nd.” This letter goes on to describe how “armed Israeli soldiers raided her family's home in the occupied West Bank in the middle of the night and tore her from her family,” and that since then, she has “suffered under appalling conditions in Israeli military detention including “frequent physical assault, shackling, and the throwing of gas and stun grenades into already overcrowded and poorly ventilated cells,” among other horrors. 40 more members of Congress signed this letter, including six senators, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey and Chris Van Hollen among them. 85 civic groups also signed onto this demand, ranging from faith-based groups to human rights organizations and beyond.* In the region itself, a broad coalition of Muslim states – including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and, perhaps most notably, the United Arab Emirates – have issued a categorical condemnation of Israel's new “E1” settlement plan. This plan relates to new settlement activities east of occupied East Jerusalem and the signatories decry the plan as constituting “a dangerous escalation that further advances settlement expansion and annexation and undermines the geographical contiguity of the Occupied Palestinian Territory…thereby threatening the viability and realization of an independent, contiguous Palestinian State based on the 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.” The UAE was the most significant state in the region to sign onto the Trump-brokered Abraham Accords in 2020, which sought to normalize relations between Israel and its neighbors at the expense of the Palestinians. Saudi Arabia was said to be on the verge of signing the accords prior to October 7th and Israel's subsequent genocidal military campaign in Gaza. The UAE taking a new stand against Israel on behalf of the Palestinian cause is widely seen as the final death knell of the Abraham Accords and the beginning of a new era of relations in the Middle East.* Finally, the Economist reports that a group of seven top officials within the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is consolidating power in Iran. The man rumored to be leading this junta is Mohsen Rezaei, the new national-security adviser, former presidential candidate and the longest-serving chief of the IRGC, having led the corps though the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s. Others include the head of the navy, currently overseeing Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the IRGC's commander-in-chief and founder of the Quds Force. Notably absent from this group is Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic. This piece judiciously avoids making any definite predictions about whether this new clique will rule as hardliners or pragmatists, but emphasizes that the late Ali Khamenei expertly “balanced the competing interests of his realm” while these military men favor action.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Hasan Piker is in the news once again, this time, for a “controversial” statement he made about antisemitism. This statement, that was no different than statements made uncontroversially by Ezra Klein, Haley Stevens, and Neera Tanden, drew condemnations from a wide variety of Democratic officials. From presidential hopefuls like Elissa Slotkin and Jon Ossoff to DNC chair Ken Martin, there has been a coordinated effort to disparage Hasan Piker. So much of this general election cycle has been eaten up by Hasan Piker discourse that voters are being robbed of a chance to learn about the two candidates that will actually be on the ballot: Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed. Oh also, Trump started a brand new trade war with Canada for no reason.(0:00) Ken Martin don't be a bum challenge failed(4:00) Intro(7:15) Unending Hasan Piker discourse(1:02:00) Trump launches a new trade war(1:08:30) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Piker-pocalypse - https://heartlandsignal.com/2025/09/10/mike-rogers-justifies-trumps-tariffs-with-return-of-manufacturing-jobs-which-are-decreasing/https://michigandems.com/coffee-prices-spike-41-due-to-tariffs-backed-by-price-hike-mike/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/opinion/hasan-piker-democrats.html?eafs_enabled=false https://hakg.uzi.uni-halle.de/editions/2?lang=de https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/policy/articles/canada-softens-us-tariff-reprisal-115226010.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAADr7hs7hVWPJqDR9YBkwH9wOepKAk0mDuInNQ-NeM5RmLawxLkK_VgpAnlGElCKIacSESX_cKQ_yDDUoiAnUXXjeSOjqOdEbWDVEbjbcMwFpLG8DmdyDvWM1996yEtn5UGnKyz0DHwe_kxYxpRr99v3rWt7PO4PyTrjBnXmkS6QQhttps://www.newsweek.com/democrats-are-fighting-a-war-over-a-man-most-voters-have-never-heard-of-12366860New trade war with Canada dropped - https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/6054237-trade-representative-jamieson-greer-trump-us-canada-trade-war/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3v4xg5klx7o https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/world/canada/canada-us-trade-war-trump-carney.html https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/world/canada/trump-carney-trade-war-tariffs.html
Hawk examines AIPAC influence, Democratic Party divisions over Israel, Gaza, military aid, Zionism, antisemitism, and whether criticism of the Israeli government is being unfairly conflated with hatred of Jewish people. Names raised include Hakeem Jeffries, Cory Booker, Alyssa Slotkin, Josh Gottheimer, Rashida Talib, Bill Maher, Jonathan Greenblatt, and Wolf Blitzer. He questions whether establishment Democrats are out of step with their own voters on Israel and Gaza, and whether CNN's coverage of Hassan Piker has met basic standards of fairness, context, and journalistic integrity.

Five years after the bombing at Abbey Gate, 13 Gold Star families are still waiting for a real, bipartisan accounting of what happened during the withdrawal from Afghanistan — and of the two decades of war that led to it. Paul Rieckhoff sits down with Connell McShane on News Nation for the weekly Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Wednesday hit and refuses to let the anniversary pass as another partisan food fight. He walks through what he calls the great American betrayal of Afghanistan, the Afghan allies still hung out to dry at home and abroad, and why an honest after-action review matters more than another round of finger-pointing. From there, the conversation pivots to the story the legacy media keeps missing: independents are now the plurality in sixteen states, roughly 48% of the country, while Republicans and Democrats sit at 27% each. Ten thousand Americans leave the two parties every single week. Paul breaks down the new farm team of independent veteran candidates — Todd Achilles up 5 on Jim Risch in Idaho, Seth Bodnar in Montana, competitive races in Nebraska and South Dakota — and explains why a single independent win in November could break the logjam the way Joe Manchin, Angus King, and Jesse Ventura have shown is possible. This is the map of the movement the MAGA machine and the DNC both want you to ignore. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

On this week's Political Breakfast, we talk about a recent exchange between Georgia gubernatorial candidates Keisha Lance Bottoms and Rick Jackson. It all unfolded in a hotel parking lot, after a Jackson attack ad took aim at Bottoms' husband. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson discuss with host Lisa Rayam how campaigns decide whether to rebut a claim, attack the messenger, or just change the subject. A quick note: Brian advises Rick Jackson and Tharon advises Keisha Lance Bottoms. Plus, Atlanta did not make the final cut to host the 2028 Democratic National Convention. Mayor Andre Dickens did not react kindly to the snub. In a letter to the DNC, Dickens wrote that its leaders "continue to make the wrong choices," that the "road to the White House runs through the South" and they are "once again abandoning Black voters." Plus, as Jackson's campaign promises to crack down on illegal immigration, a lawsuit filed by foreign-born nurses against one of the companies under his healthcare empire, accuses Avant Healthcare Professionals of "luring them to the United States" only to pay them low wages and trap them in contracts for years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Democrats trail Republicans in cash by nine figures. The DNC reported $16 million on hand against $17.9 million in debt. The RNC reported $130 million. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers follow the money filling the gap, and most of it comes from senior citizens. A Stanford researcher spent eight months preparing an investigation for The New York Times. Fact checkers cleared it. Lawyers cleared it. Then the Elias Law Group sent cease and desist letters on behalf of Democratic committees, and the paper walked away. What the research found: a spam text pipeline built to squeeze a captive pool of elderly donors. An 85 year old man in Oxford, Ohio gave 7,800 times, nearly $650,000, more than double the value of his house. A 90 year old woman in an Indiana senior living facility gave more than 25,000 times, $250,000 in total. Fewer than 1% of Democrat donors account for almost half of the $1.4 billion these PACs have raised since 2017. One network alone pulled in $390 million. Most of the money never reaches a candidate. It recycles back into the fundraising operation. Hakeem Jeffries shows the shift in one chart. In 2018, his average donor was 54 and 21% were 65 or older. This cycle, his average donor is 73 and 86% are senior citizens. Then the midterm ledger. Ripple and Coinbase sit at the top of $230 million in special interest spending, ahead of Big Tech and Wall Street. FanDuel and DraftKings make the top six. George Soros has given more than $102 million this year. AIPAC drew headlines for $30 million behind Haley Stevens in Michigan, while the money moving against her opponent's opponent stays far harder to trace: a $200,000 super PAC check from Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law, an Islamic Society of North America figure; $25,000 from an Egyptian American activist sentenced to life in absentia; $115,000 tied to people affiliated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Saudi Arabia spent $92 million on Washington lobbying last year with roughly 148 registered foreign agents. Peter and Eric close on Sharia law, Jesse Watters' interview with El-Sayed, and whether the red-green alliance holds long enough to make Michigan competitive.

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss the DNC’s unanimous support for a resolution calling for the abolition of ICE, the political implications of that vote, and how immigration enforcement has become a major dividing line between Republicans and Democrats. They also examine public statements attributed to Abdul El-Sayed's sister, concerns about ideological activism in higher education, questions raised about the family ties of political commentator Hasan Piker, and the Democratic Party’s relationship with progressive activists and influencers. The Democratic National Committee has approved a resolution supporting the abolition of ICE, a move presented in this episode as evidence of a broader shift toward more progressive and activist positions within the Democratic Party. The discussion examines what that policy would mean for immigration enforcement, public safety, and the party’s political direction.The episode also explores controversies surrounding Abdul El-Sayed, comments and activism attributed to members of his family, and debates over the influence of political activists, academics, and online personalities on Democratic politics. Topics Covered: The DNC resolution supporting the abolition of ICE and its unanimous approval process Immigration enforcement, deportation policy, and border security debates Criticism of Abdul El-Sayed and statements attributed to his family members Activism, anti-capitalist views, and organizing efforts within universities Questions surrounding Hasan Piker, his political influence, and national security concerns discussed in the episode Reactions from Democratic leaders and the party’s progressive wing Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Susan Del Percio (crisis communications expert and political analyst at MS NOW) joins host Ron Steslow to trace how a revolt against data centers opens larger questions into how the AI buildout is financed and who holds the risk. They begin with the politics of the backlash and the town by town opposition that has turned data centers into a bipartisan populist flashpoint. Then they look at the leaked Republican memo warning the backlash could cost the party a Senate seat in November. Next, they turn to the real constraint beneath the fight, energy, the race with China, and reporting that foreign actors are attempting to amplify the opposition. Then, they look at the federal debt and how Washington is betting that AI-led growth is the only survivable way out. In Politicology+, they break down the DNC's newly approved 2028 presidential primary calendar and what it means for the factional power struggle within the party.

Jared Yates Sexton is out this week, so co-host Nick Hauselman sits down with Fred Wellman, the Democratic nominee in Missouri's second congressional district and a four-time combat veteran who spent 22 years as an Army officer, including service under General David Petraeus and General Martin Dempsey. Wellman makes the case that the Iran war is the biggest strategic blunder in American military history, bar none, and lays out exactly why the USS Lincoln is suffering: the administration launched a war with no allies and then got the bases that supply the fleet blown up, leaving 5,000 sailors stranded on a ship with no port to dock at while Pete Hegseth flies to Iowa to prep a presidential campaign. He talks about running against Ann Wagner, who has quadrupled her net worth to $26 million while in Congress, and why the voters he meets at doors in suburban Saint Louis care less about culture war issues than about whether their kids can afford to live in their own hometown. He lays out what he'd do from day one in Congress on stock trading, gun safety, abortion rights, and military oversight. And he's clear he's not going to Washington to work for Hakeem Jeffries or the DNC but to fight for 750,000 Missourians.
Marianne Williamson keeps a ticker running on her Substack, counting down the days to the midterms. In this episode, she and Jeff dig into why she thinks these midterms may be the last chance for a truly free and fair election in 2028, walk through the DNC dysfunction and the rise of the DSA, and get candid about her own two runs for president and what they taught her about the party. Why Williamson believes the 2026 midterms are more consequential than any in recent memory The redistricting battle reshaping the House, and why a "normal" Democratic wave may not be enough How the DSA and candidates like Zohran Mamdani are pulling the party back toward its FDR-era roots What her own 2020 and 2024 presidential campaigns revealed about the DNC's instincts, including an FBI briefing and a DNC official's apology Her case for why hope and reform are still possible, even in a "brutal" political moment This episode is for anyone trying to make sense of the Democratic Party's internal battles, and anyone wondering what's actually at stake in November. Marianne's new course, Midlife Awakening: Creating a Miraculous Next Chapter, guides students through the real work of this stage of life: atoning for old mistakes, practicing true forgiveness, and reframing midlife as a second puberty rather than a decline. Across eight sessions, it builds toward what she calls "rising as the phoenix," her framework for closing one chapter and consciously starting the next.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the controversy surrounding Jon Ossoff's comments about Trump staffer Natalie Harp, the backlash from conservatives, and the White House's furious response. They analyze the debate over whether Ossoff crossed a line, the broader scrutiny of Harp's unusual relationship with Trump, and the hypocrisy surrounding the outrage. Kander and Gupta also dive into the latest primary election results, as Angie Nixon defeats Alex Vindman in Florida, Peltola shows strength in Alaska, and Republicans battle over the future of their party. Plus, they discuss the DNC's new presidential primary calendar, Trump's record-low approval numbers, Fox News questioning his threats against Oman, and revealing clips from Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis.

Before there was Dubya, there was Ann Richards the sharp-tongued, silver-haired Democrat who went from schoolteacher to Governor of Texas. Ann Richards battled alcoholism, got sober, transformed the Texas Treasury, and became a national political star after her unforgettable speech at the 1988 Democratic National Convention. But first, she had to survive one of the wildest gubernatorial races in Texas history, featuring an opponent who seemingly could not stop saying the worst possible thing at the worst possible time. Nathan tells Katy the story of the woman behind the famous one-liners, her rise through Texas politics, and the legacy she left behind.

In this hard-hitting episode, Joe exposes the conjoined crises threatening American sovereignty: a hopelessly convoluted election system designed to foster distrust, and a radical political apparatus actively dismantling rule of law. Starting in Antrim County, Michigan, and tracing through Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Joe breaks down how middle-of-the-night vote flips, missing machine tapes, and ransomware cover-ups are not mere glitches, but symptoms of a compromised framework. Joined by whistleblower Regina Miller, the show pulls back the curtain on chain-of-custody violations, altered records, and election officials actively destroying evidence while federal authorities look the other way.The breakdown goes far beyond election mechanics, pivoting directly to the political motives driving the confusion. Joe examines the stark disconnect between elite political rhetoric and the reality on the ground—highlighting how Republican infighting and F-rated liberty scores enable a system where basic safeguards like the SAVE Act and clean voter rolls are actively blocked. With local law enforcement pushing back against systemic refusal to audit, the show establishes how a lack of machine transparency directly erodes citizen trust in our governing institutions.Joe uncovers the radical agenda benefiting from this broken system. From Democratic Socialists framing the U.S. Constitution as an "obstacle" to revolution, to official DNC resolutions calling for the abolition of ICE and top governors pushing to dissolve the Electoral College, the pattern is undeniable. Between the catastrophic human cost of open-border policies and the complete capture of local governance by non-assimilated leadership, Joe delivers an unvarnished look at a nation pushed to the brink—and demands accountability before our sovereignty is lost for good.

A slew of new reporting details big problems at the DNC, from deepening financial woes to leaks, paranoia, and an allegation that Chairman Ken Martin threw his phone at a staffer. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett react to the disarray inside the Democratic Party, debate whether it's possible to replace Martin before the midterms, and discuss how the DNC's new 2028 primary calendar, which starts with South Carolina, could shape the race for president. They check in on the Michigan Senate race, the latest in Trump's continued back-and-forth with Iran, and his pitiful performance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Then, Ben Wikler, former chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, stops by the new studio to talk to Jon about his new book "This Is the Plan" and what Democrats can do to restructure and protect American democracy.For a transcript of this episode, email transcripts@crooked.com
