Podcast appearances and mentions of Donald Trump

Charlie's death robbed America and the conservative movement of one of its greatest figures, at the exact moment where he was reaching the peak of his abilities and his impact on the world. The tragedy of Charlie's loss is unthinkable, but his memory will be eternal. To close 2025, the show team goes back through the very best of Charlie's video clips from the past year, ranging from the Trump inauguration to his Newsom interview to the very last video he ever made.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark. The media and radical left have not learned their lesson they're in the middle as they keep attacking President Trump instead of addressing that what occurred in Minnesota was wrong. The moment you say something about Somalians, you ae considered to be racist. Which is absolutely ridiculous. What the Somali community did regarding this money fraud scandal is sad, wrong, and evil. Also, Politico's Josh Gerstein suggested on X that knocking on doors at Minnesota daycare centers could “intersect” with stand-your-ground laws—think about that for a second. A journalist implying homeowners might legally shoot other journalists for investigating fraud? Outrageous! Independent reporter Nick Shirley exposed what looks like massive taxpayer-funded fraud, and instead of focusing on corruption, Gerstein warns about gun laws. Social media lit him up, and rightly so—he even got Minnesota law wrong, claiming “not in your home” when it's a duty-to-retreat state. This is the media protecting the establishment, intimidating citizen journalists, and proving once again why trust in these elitists is in the gutter.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark Levin. It's enraging and sad to see how the left isn't reacting strongly to the fraud associated with the Somali benefits scandal. Their reluctance seems to stem from a desire to avoid being labeled "racist," which is absurd. This situation has nothing to do with racism; fraud is simply fraud, end of story. The fraud that occurred in Minnesota is unacceptable and not only goes against the law, but it is wrong to remove the opportunity from hard working citizens who actually need the healthcare. The Somali fraud issue is not just happening in Minnesota, it is also happening in many other states. Also, these fake MAGA influencers, and left wing hosts that think they have successful podcasts are rileing up conspiracies and lies for clicks, sensationalism, or fame. It is the brainwashing that is turning America upside-down with the virus that the propaganda from the media and these influencers that is contaminating our society. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jia Tolentino, a staff writer at The New Yorker, wrote a piece all about this aptly titled, “My Brain Finally Broke.”  She joins WITHpod to discuss how AI is changing our perception of the world, how online content can make us more likely to detach from reality and more.

E Jean Carroll was once described by one of her editors as being “institutionally incapable of being uninteresting” - and Carroll is exactly that. Elizabeth “E” Jean Carroll is a journalist, author, and advice columnist. Her “Ask E Jean” column was one of the longest-running advice columns in American publishing, featured in Elle magazine from 1993 to 2019. In addition to Elle magazine, she has written for New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, Esquire, and Outside Magazine. Carroll is also the author of six books, including her 2019 book What Do We Need Men For?: A Modest Proposal, in which Carroll accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-90s. As a result, Carroll faced Trump in court and has since won multiple civil cases against him. In this conversation Carroll reflects on her career of honest and bold writing, and her own resilience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As a horrified nation watches the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Trump and his cronies continue to praise Vladimir Putin causing condemnation and consternation as a majority of Americans are shocked by images of destruction from Kyiv.

Joanna Coles revisits her most eye-opening conversations with Dr. John Gartner, a leading expert who says the media has ignored the most urgent question about Donald Trump: his mental and physical health. From alarming changes in Trump's language, gait, and impulse control to warnings about paranoia, narcissism, and cognitive decline, the doctor lays out why these signs matter far beyond one man. As Trump's influence endures, this episode asks whether the real danger lies in what he can no longer hide—and what the country is still refusing to confront. Hosted on Acast.

After a campaign built on the promise that Trump was going to look out for his voters, he started his administration getting sidetracked by DOGE and Musk's phony ideas about saving money. After that petered out, he got distracted by his need to put his name all over the place. In the process, he's totally forgotten to help his people—or even fake trying to help them. Meanwhile, Trump is trapped in a Groundhog Day of his own making on Ukraine-Russia. Plus, his bruising has now moved to his left hand, Melania can't speak English, the DOJ is still working to find the 'real' people who made the rioters descend on the Capitol, the withholding of information in the Epstein case is worse than the redactions, and Dems need to forcefully call out the Medicaid fraud in Minnesota.
