Podcast appearances and mentions of ed martin

Edwin Martin didn't start running to become an ultra-athlete—he started because life had gotten so dark he almost didn't start anything again at all.At 21, Martin hit rock bottom. Consumed by a gambling addiction and drowning in purposelessness, he was on his bathroom floor, ready to end his life, when a text from a friend (just three words: I love you) pulled him back. That moment became the foundation for everything that followed. He has since lost two close friends to suicide, and the grief and guilt that came with those losses sharpened his mission—use running to make sure people know they are seen, loved, and not alone.In this episode, Edwin walks Dominic through the full arc: from a COVID-canceled marathon run on a trail; to a full-distance Ironman with a partially torn Achilles; to 30 consecutive half marathons in August 2024; to a 2:50 marathon finish in early 2025; and ultimately, Project 24:70–the 24-hour treadmill run covering 133 miles to honor the 70 lives lost to suicide in Charleston County. He also breaks down the Stoney 100 (403 laps around a track) and what the monotony of that format does to the mind.Beyond the miles, Edwin and Dominic dig into identity, faith, men's mental health, the danger of making sport your God, and why Edwin believes the three worst words anyone can say are: I got this. His platform is growing fast, and his answer for why is simple: he never built it for himself.Tap into the Ironsned Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

DOCKET ALERTS:   We bid a fond goodbye to Ed Martin … well, fond-ish.   Liam Ramos, the little boy kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis along with his father is back home after a judge in Texas granted his habeas petition. Read the scathing order here.   Judge Jia Cobb re-imposed a temporary restraining order barring DHS from excluding legislators from immigrant detention facilities.    Two immigrant rights groups challenged ICE's homebrew arrest warrants.   The Trump administration finally got that perp walk of Don Lemon. Two weeks ago, a federal magistrate refused to issue an arrest warrant for Lemon, Minnesota journalist Georgia Fort, and three others who were present at the MLK Day protest at a church whose pastor David Easterbrook is an ICE supervisor. Now a grand jury has indicted all eight of the DOJ's original targets.   Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the Sixth Circuit dropkicked the DOJ's judicial ethics complaint against Chief Judge James Boasberg of the US District Court in DC. The complaint is based on leaked notes from a closed judicial conference in March, which Law and Chaos is suing to kick loose under FOIA. The Signalgate administration says it has no idea how this judicial record wound up on its servers.    Liz and Andrew sound off on Chief Justice Roberts forcing SCOTUS employees to sign NDAs.   Donald Trump sues the IRS — it's like suing himself, but you get to foot the bill.   And we ponder whether Trump can legally burn down the Kennedy Center Make the Kennedy Center Great Again.   Plus for subscribers: Andrew's got a deep dive into the Death on the High Seas Act and the lawsuit filed by survivors of two men murdered in the Caribbean boat strikes.   Justice Dept. demotes Ed Martin, stripping Trump ally of most authority https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/02/02/ed-martin-demoted-justice-department   Liam Ramos Habeas Order https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txwd.1172886492/gov.uscourts.txwd.1172886492.9.0_3.pdf   TRO Enjoining DHS from Excluding Legislators From Immigration Facilities https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.283200/gov.uscourts.dcd.283200.52.0.pdf   The Perp Walk Is The Point https://www.lawandchaospod.com/p/the-perp-walk-is-the-point   US v.

DOCKET ALERTS:   Kash Patel brings UFC to FBI. WTF???   A federal judge in Maryland issued a TRO blocking the construction of an ICE detention facility without first undertaking the legally required environmental impact assessment.   The Trump administration filed an "emergency" petition to the Supreme Court demanding that it be allowed to immediately deport 350,000 Haitians who have enjoyed Temporary Protected Status for decades. It insists an earlier shadow docket ruling allowing it to deport Venezuelan TPS holders is precedential. An amicus brief from 175 former judges points out that shadow docket orders are definitionally non-precedential.   The USDA is teaming up with Robert Kennedy and his team of freaks at Health and Human Services to Make America Healthy Again … by shaming poor people for their food choices. SNAP recipients sued in DC to block a "pilot" program to allow states to restrict food benefits to exclude sugary foods.   MAIN SHOW:   DOGE destroyed the National Endowment for the Humanities in three weeks last spring. We wrote about it on the blog, and discussed the ongoing litigation. Turns out, the DOGE dudes are pissed that the plaintiffs released video of them smirking their way through depositions.   On Monday, in the middle of trial, the Trump administration tried to blow up the antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster. This leaves the 40 states which joined the suit as co-plaintiffs in the lurch. Judge Arun Subramanian has ordered the parties to huddle up and see if they can't negotiate a settlement. Will the case go forward next week without the lead plaintiff?   And Andrew has an extended exploration of Trump's plan to use a little known federal agency called the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to get oil tankers to cross the Strait of Hormuz. The DFC has released a plan (or at least, concepts of a plan) to reinsure insurance companies that issue war riders. Which might help if insurance companies were refusing to issue policies to ships at sea – except that insurance companies are still underwriting as many marine policies as ever. It's just that it costs more now, because of the war.   Plus for subscribers, we'll break down the bar complaint against fan favorite Ed Martin.   Kash Patel Confirms UFC Fighters Will Train FBI Agents This Week, Calling It A "Historic Opportunity" https://deadline.com/2026/03/kash-patel-ufc-fighters-train-fbi-agents-1236750897/   State of Maryland v.

Former Department of Justice pardon attorney Liz Oyer describes being pulled out of a meeting, told to pack up her belongings, and walked out by security the same day. Her offense, she said, was refusing to recommend that the attorney general restore gun rights to a politically connected celebrity without the information she believed was necessary to make that judgment safely. “Once you compromise your integrity, you cannot get it back,” she said. That moment sets the tone for a candid conversation about what it means to serve inside the Department of Justice, and what happens when career lawyers believe the institution they devoted themselves to has changed. Moderated by Stanford Law professor Pam Karlan, this episode brings together Oyer, former Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Rosen, and former DOJ civil rights lawyer Stacey Young for a discussion of public service, prosecutorial independence, clemency, civil rights, professional ethics, and the difficult questions of when to stay, when to leave, and when to speak out. The panel, recorded at a live law school event and presented by the Deborah L. Rhode Center on the Legal Profession and the Neukom Center for the Rule of Law, offers a close look at the professional obligations of government lawyers from people who spent years doing the work: Rosen supervising more than 1,000 prosecutions stemming from January 6; Oyer overseeing the federal pardon process and thousands of clemency petitions; and Young working in the Civil Rights Division while also founding the DOJ Gender Equality Network. Karlan, herself a former DOJ official, draws out the deeper questions behind their stories.

NSP:314 — KillShot, Deep Apnea & the Real Shark Shield Story | Ed Martin Ed Martin is one of those blokes who genuinely can't help himself — after years running a dive shop, guiding charters, and building timber spearguns under the KillShot brand in the Florida Keys, he bought carbon fibre fin company Deep Apnea, got involved in bringing Shark Shield back to market, and watched it all peak and crash at the same time. He's since closed the shop, sold the boat, moved 400 miles north to an 80-acre former turtle farm near Ocala, and is now running two manufacturing businesses out of separate buildings he's literally wiring himself. This episode covers the real Shark Shield story, hard-won business wisdom for anyone thinking about turning their spearfishing passion into a paycheck, and an in-depth breakdown of carbon fibre fin construction — including why "soft, medium, hard" is a terrible way to choose your fins, and what actually matters. If you're a spearo who thinks about gear and business, this one's worth a full listen.

On this episode of The Project Endure Podcast, Joe Rinaldi sits down with Ed Martin — endurance athlete, man of faith, and mental health advocate — for a powerful and vulnerable conversation about purpose, discipline, and using pain as a platform to serve others. Ed shares his journey from struggling with addiction and suicidal thoughts to finding faith, community, and a renewed sense of meaning, opening up about the moment he cried out to God and experienced a life-changing shift in perspective. He reflects on how running became an outlet for growth and impact, while emphasizing that his identity is rooted not in performance, but in his relationship with God and the people around him. Joe and Ed explore the role of daily discipline and obedience, discussing the challenge of doing the right things consistently without recognition, and how giving yourself grace while staying committed to growth is essential. The conversation also dives into Ed's 24-hour treadmill run, where he covered 133 miles to raise money for mental health awareness, pushing through extreme physical and emotional challenges—including moments of real danger—to complete something far bigger than himself. From faith and resilience to community, vulnerability, and living with intention, this episode is a powerful reminder that endurance is about aligning your life with a purpose that extends beyond you. Give this episode a listen as we dive deep into Ed's life and learn about what persistence, perspective, and endurance mean to him.   Give this episode a listen as we dive deep into Ed's life and learn about what persistence, perspective, and endurance mean to him.     If you found value in this episode and would like to help us grow, please leave the podcast a review on your platform of choice and share it with a friend(s).

On America at Night with McGraw Milhaven, Ed Martin, former U.S. Attorney and Trump's pardon attorney, joined the program to discuss the role of presidential pardons and the legal and political debates surrounding them. Next, Filip Timotija, business and defense reporter at The Hill, discussed growing concerns over Chinese-produced cellular modules embedded in smart home devices. These tiny components, often found in connected technology, have raised alarms among national security officials who worry they could present potential vulnerabilities for the United States. Finally, James Bruns, founding director of the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum, discussed his book “Delivering for America: How the United States Postal Service Built a Nation.” Bruns reflected on the 250th anniversary of the USPS and the crucial role the postal system has played in connecting communities and shaping American history.

Last week, Judge James Boasberg checked in the Justice Department by quashing two subpoenas against Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell, intended to pressure him into "voting for lower interest rates or resigning.” Finding “essentially zero evidence” of criminal behavior, Mary and Andrew explain how these subpoenas were issued as retribution and retaliation against Powell, as Boasberg cited over 100 statements that the president and his deputies made attacking him. Next, the co-hosts dig into the disciplinary proceedings against President Trump's pardon attorney Ed Martin, who, while serving as DC's interim U.S. Attorney, pressured Georgetown Law School to change its curriculum. Last on the agenda, Mary and Andrew highlight the case that AI firm Anthropic filed against the Defense Department over being essentially blacklisted. The case is centered around the Pentagon labeling the AI firm a “supply chain risk” after they asked the Pentagon not to use their “Claude” AI technology to do two things: “deploy lethal autonomous warfare without human oversight” and use it for “mass surveillance of Americans.” Further reading:  Here is the complaint Anthropic filed against the government: Complaint For Declaratory And Injunctive Relief Here once again is the Federal Register if you'd like to enter public comment: Review of State Bar Complaints and Allegations Against Department of Justice Attorneys Sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads.

It seems like sometimes accountability can take forever. And then, it comes all at once. Remember all those Trump lawyers who got disbarred as a result of what they did during Trump's first presidential rodeo: Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, and others?Well, some other lawyers didn't really pay attention to that cautionary tale. One of them is Ed Martin. Donald Trump tried to make Martin the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia – the city's top prosecutor – but Senate Republicans said, 'not so fast, that's a bridge too far even for us', and refused to confirm Martin.And now, accountability is coming for Ed Martin, The New York Times just reported: "DC Bar begins disciplinary proceedings against Ed Martin. A new legal filing accused Mr. Martin, a senior Justice Department official, of an unethical pressure campaign against Georgetown University."Glenn discusses this development with his fellow former career federal prosecutor, Kevin Flynn, in a segment called "The Prosecutor's Verdict".Find Kevin at: https://www.kevinflynnauthor.com/Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A federal judge in Maryland issued a TRO blocking the construction of an ICE detention facility without first undertaking the legally required environmental impact assessment.The Trump administration filed an “emergency” petition to the Supreme Court demanding that it be allowed to immediately deport 350,000 Haitians who have enjoyed Temporary Protected Status for decades. It insists an earlier shadow docket ruling allowing it to deport Venezuelan TPS holders is precedential. An amicus brief from 175 former judges points out that shadow docket orders are definitionally non-precedential.The USDA is teaming up with Robert Kennedy and his team of freaks at Health and Human Services to Make America Healthy Again … by shaming poor people for their food choices. SNAP recipients sued in DC to block a “pilot” program to allow states to restrict food benefits to exclude sugary foods.MAIN SHOW:DOGE destroyed the National Endowment for the Humanities in three weeks last spring. We wrote about it on the blog, and discussed the ongoing litigation. Turns out, the DOGE dudes are pissed that the plaintiffs released video of them smirking their way through depositions.On Monday, in the middle of trial, the Trump administration tried to blow up the antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster. This leaves the 40 states which joined the suit as co-plaintiffs in the lurch. Judge Arun Subramanian has ordered the parties to huddle up and see if they can't negotiate a settlement. Will the case go forward next week without the lead plaintiff?And Andrew has an extended exploration of Trump's plan to use a little known federal agency called the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to get oil tankers to cross the Strait of Hormuz. The DFC has released a plan (or at least, concepts of a plan) to reinsure insurance companies that issue war riders. Which might help if insurance companies were refusing to issue policies to ships at sea – except that insurance companies are still underwriting as many marine policies as ever. It's just that it costs more now, because of the war.Plus for subscribers, we'll break down the bar complaint against fan favorite Ed Martin.Kash Patel Confirms UFC Fighters Will Train FBI Agents This Week, Calling It A “Historic Opportunity”https://deadline.com/2026/03/kash-patel-ufc-fighters-train-fbi-agents-1236750897/State of Maryland v.

Let's practice tough love and examine why Mike Pence, and establishment Republicans like this who I am calling “Trump 2.0”.Episode Links:Mike Pence loves him some war with Iran BREAKING: Senate Leader John Thune confirms HE'S FORCING A VOTE on the SAVE America Act, he will put Democrats ON THE RECORD opposing the 85-15 issue The Republican Party is protecting Ilhan Omar from accountability. Rep Nancy Mace “I tried to subpoena her immigration records, her brother husband's immigration records, and IT WAS REPUBLICANS that killed my motion” It's a Uniparty. One Big Club.URGENT: Big Pharma wins again; Dr. Vinay Prasad is out as the FDA's chief medical's officer. Not coincidentally, stocks of drug companies are soaring.TRUMP: “You gotta lighten up on this, they might have come into our country illegally but they're good people and they're cheap workers. They're working now on farms, in luncheonettes and hotels. We're just focused on getting the murderers out.” So much for mass deportations.Trump: We'll bring in any Iranian refugees that aid the U.S Military! Trump complained about the Afghan INVADERS and now is doing the same thing. This is how we got invaded with people from the Middle East.HOMELAND: Trump's new pick for Secretary of Homeland recently voted to ALLOW "Refugee" Welfare Programs to continue to be funded at Biden-era levels. Mullin also comforted & HUGGED the cop who shot Ashli Babbitt:  "He was distraught. I gave him a hug & said 'you did what you had to do.'" He also claimed Republican Senators were too "emotional" over Jan 6 to confirm Trump's pick Ed Martin for DC Prosecutor.Rep. Brian Mast: “Let's talk about Rep. Mace's resolution. Victims deserve protection. Witnesses deserve confidentiality. I voted to ensure survivors aren't forced to deal with the fallout of the public release of their sensitive information. I voted to send the resolution to the Ethics Committee so that it can be amended to adequately protect those who've done the brave thing and come forward.”Rep Anna Paulina Luna comes out and says it. She says the American People hate Congress for how corrupt they are. After both parties blocked disclosing slush funds using tax dollars to pay off their sexual assault charges, she loses it. “That's why the American people hate us”

SEASON 4 EPISODE 59: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Just because we're paranoid, that doesn't mean Trump isn't out to get us. Trump has just accidentally revealed crucial details of his conspiracy to steal the midterms. It starts with the cadaver-in-chief, demanding of active troops at Fort Bragg – “you have to vote for us” – that’s in case the Generals or even the Joint Chiefs realize Mark Kelly is right: they HAVE to disobey illegal orders, ESPECIALLY Trump’s illegal orders. If it came to that, Trump would have the raw troops overthrow the generals And then Trump succubus Kristi Noem vowed to make sure Trump only lets the RIGHT people voting, electing the RIGHT leaders. And he’s already had ICE PRACTICE voter suppression – murder of civilians – in Minnesota. How do we stop Trump? Talk about it endlessly. Talk about his attempt to make the troops loyal to HIM and not the constitution. Talk about his attempts to seize ballots. Talk about his attempt to use ICE to intimidate voters. Talk about it, now, now, now. Trump is plotting to steal the midterms. We not only CAN stop him - we have to. MEANWHILE, HOW MUCH MORE CAN THE MEDIA BETRAY US? Jake Tapper - as guilty as anybody in the business of putting his salary ahead of all journalism - tells us to hang in there? An old boss of mine says something stupid. CBS decides to platform Stephen A. Smith, the Jill Stein of 2026. B-Block (55:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: What happened to Congressman Randy Fine demanding the arrest of everybody who enjoyed Bad Bunny's Swear-filled Super Bowl Show? The White House doesn't know how to spell "cue." And enjoying the Olympics? It's all crap - especially what it did to the history of the Olympics and the National Hockey League. C-Block (1:25:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: More media criticism. This disaster didn't start yesterday. By 2004, when an anchor on MSNBC told one of his viewers - live on the air - to "get AIDS and die" - and his boss said he had to be fired for that, his boss's boss (THE PRESIDENT OF NBC) tried to intervene to save his job.

In breaking news, Fulton County, Georgia, is fighting back against Trump's attempt to federalize elections and seize all of their 2020 voter data in 656 boxes of material, in a new federal court lawsuit and filing to stop the Feds from searching through any of their data. Popok reports that Fulton County sees this as a struggle to protect the Constitution, and he connects the dots between Ed Martin, Sydney Powell, Tulsi Gabbard, and the investigation being run out of the Missouri US Attorney's Office and not Georgia.

The McGraw Show 2-5-26: Waste Disposal, Files, Space Camp, Spin Doctors & Ed Martin is a Friend by

On this explosive episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, Joe unleashes on the shocking revelation that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche a registered Democrat until 2024 is now in a top DOJ role, and Vance Day's comments raising red flags about loyalty and past rhetoric calling targeted parents “terrorists.” Joe calls it straight: “What the ****?” From Emerald Robinson's video exposing the hypocrisy to Ed Martin's spiritual warning and Dan Bongino's fiery take on grifters, the swamp is deeper than ever. The truth is hitting like a freight train.Graham Moore, our English Constitution expert with 30+ years of deep study, joins to tackle election fraud and mass migration head-on. Comparing England's common law roots to America's constitutional battles, Graham breaks down how unchecked migration erodes voting integrity, dilutes sovereignty, and threatens self-governance in both nations. From the English abolition of slavery to today's identity crisis, he explains why “The Constitution is the Solution!” is the only path to reclaiming justice legally, peacefully, and without the psyop distractions of groups like Freemen on the Land.Communist Colorado chaos: Kyle Clark's biased hit on Trump and Tina Peters, Adam DeRito's spot-on defense of Trump's veto on the costly water project, new gun control bills weaponizing schools and hospitals, activist teachers fueling anti-ICE protests, and the outrageous release of repeat offender Elijah Caudill after ruling him incompetent despite his violent spree on the 16th Street Mall. Colorado Republicans are fighting daily for free elections, safe schools, armed self-defense, and real justice. Don't miss this hard-hitting takedown truth is rising, commies are panicking, and accountability is coming fast. Tune in live!

You're listening to Right On Radio. Live right in the real world. And welcome to Right On Radio, everybody. My name is Jeff. In this free-flowing episode Jeff and co-host John open with the Word on Word segment and preview three core topics: the latest fallout from the Epstein document releases, new mainstream reporting about immigration and political infrastructure, and a short Donald J. Trump clip that sparks a broader discussion about a possible “dark‑to‑light” narrative. The show begins with a reflective Word on Word moment and a short music segment — Jeff reads controversial song lyrics (the well‑known Bruce Springsteen track) to illustrate how words shape culture and can reveal deeper social problems. That musical interlude leads into commentary about how popular songs and celebrity behavior intersect with political and moral debates today. Jeff and John dig into the Epstein material, weighing credible revelations against endless rabbit holes. They address claims circulating online — from 4chan connections to theories about Epstein's death — while urging caution about unverified assertions. The episode includes short clips (including a cut of Senator Ted Cruz and commentary on the late Robert David Steele) and a frank exchange about how these revelations feed broader narratives about bloodlines, elite networks, and conspiratorial interpretations of global events. Next, the hosts examine immigration reporting highlighted by a Fox News segment with investigator Peter Schweizer. They discuss the Reconquista narrative, Mexican political infrastructure in the U.S., the role of consulates, and claims about organized political influence tied to migration. Jeff and John also discuss public worries and rumors — from deportation camps and migrant use in security roles to concerns about sovereignty — and the recent removal of Ed Martin from a DOJ working group, considering the political timing and ramifications. The episode closes with a 33‑second clip from Donald Trump and a wide‑ranging conversation about the possibility of a false “great awakening,” Q‑related narratives, the emergence of a one‑world religious or political order, and cultural shifts involving high‑profile celebrities (Nicki Minaj is discussed) and Christian conservatives. Jeff teases an upcoming Friday show and reminds listeners of the prayer meeting at 7:30 p.m.; co‑host John contributes historical context and personal reflections throughout. Guests and contributors heard or referenced: co‑host John, researcher S90 (mentioned as a future collaborator), audio clips featuring Senator Ted Cruz, Robert David Steele, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, investigator Peter Schweizer (Fox News), and an archival Donald J. Trump clip. Key takeaways: a skeptical but urgent look at the Epstein documents, close attention to shifting immigration narratives and political influence, concern about cultural decay and media messaging, and an ongoing call for discernment as new information continues to surface.

Truth warriors, the storm is hitting hard—deep state players are dropping like flies! @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove go nuclear in **S8E022 “Ed Martin Axed from DOJ After Flynn Exposure; Epstein Files Confirm Pre-Planned Pandemic Profits; F-35 Destroys Iranian Drone; Clintons Cave & Schedule Testimony”**, connecting the dots on Ed Martin's swift removal as weaponization czar just days after Trump's video spotlighted General Flynn's network and Martin posted with Sidney Powell—triggering meltdown across Flynn-aligned voices. Roger Stone and Brendan Dilley are caught scrambling to rewrite narratives and distance themselves as the boat sinks. Then, freshly unsealed Epstein documents blow the lid off Bill Gates and JP Morgan structuring “pandemic” as an investment category years before COVID, complete with offshore vaccine arms—proof the playbook was financial from the start. America flexes muscle as an F-35 pilot shots down an aggressive Iranian drone closing in on the USS Abraham Lincoln, while Iranian gunboats harass U.S. shipping—message received. Back home, the House votes contempt on Hillary, but the Clintons suddenly agree to testify February 26-27 on Epstein ties.

On this high-energy Friday episode host Jeff blends faith and fierce political commentary as he covers a rapid-fire set of stories shaping the moment. The program opens with a personal welcome and a short "Word on Word" Bible segment, then quickly pivots into breaking news and reaction: Jeff's thoughts (and a dream) about Don Lemon's arrest and the legal penalties at stake. Major topics include President Trump's recent Davos-related messaging and reposted propaganda clip, plus Trump administration appointments (Colin McDonald named to head the new National Fraud Enforcement division) and federal moves on election integrity. Jeff plays and reacts to audio clips from figures such as Donald Trump and George Papadopoulos, and discusses reports of a purported sweeping, decade-long DOJ/DOJ–FBI–DNI–CIA RICO-style investigation into senior Democrats and media figures, including mention of a Florida grand jury. The episode examines election-related developments: an FBI raid in Fulton County that seized ballots and machines, possible links to Maricopa County actions, allegations of foreign interference (Dominion/Smartmatic, China) and legal strategies (references to Ed Martin, Sidney Powell, the Brunson appeals matter). Jeff outlines scenarios for how these events might upend the midterm calendar or the party system itself. Health and science topics get heavy coverage: a guest clip alleging dramatic increases in military morbidity/mortality from 2020–2021, claims about vaccine safety and composition (graphene oxide, nanoparticles, HIV proteins), assertions about smart dust and 6G, plus a personal note on natural immunity, medicinal mushrooms, and lifestyle suggestions Jeff endorses. International coverage touches on Canada (Carney/Trudeau, snap election concerns), Keir Starmer and the U.K., U.S. posture in the Western Hemisphere (Greenland, Venezuela, Cuba) and geopolitical resource arguments. Financial policy and currency are also highlighted: Jerome Powell's disclosed DOJ inquiry, Trump's selection of Kevin Warsh for the Fed, talk of a digital currency replacement, and comments from Treasury/Scott Besant on gold, the “golden age” narrative, and potential economic transition strategies. The episode also weaves in personal moments — Jeff asking for prayer amid apparent pressure and threats, promotion of a Saturday night prayer meeting and a Sunday Bible study — and closes with exhortations to love God, family and neighbor while staying alert to the fast-moving political landscape. Expect strong opinions, conspiratorial and controversial claims, audio clips from political insiders, and a host who connects political events to spiritual dynamics throughout.

David Waldman, mentally tough host of KITM, and his edgy sidekick Greg Dworkin return to the big pod screen for what could be their final adventure this week! Gops are stunned to see their most cozy rat jump ship. You don't have to hand it to Marge. She knew exactly what she was getting into, and exactly what she's getting out of. Who didn't? That is why it's always a good time to talk about Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. Can you believe that there is any Latino support for Donald K. Trump? Can you believe there is any support at all for Trump? Anybody but Trump is the person to be. Judge Boasberg will look into contempt charges on those ignoring orders to halt deportation flights. Emil Bove always has plenty of contempt to go around, but Kristi Noem will be the one cosplaying under the bus.  How does Lindsey Halligan not do it? Ed Martin knows and is ready to dish on all the retribution plans with Alex Jones. Tina Peters is staying at the state pen, and she will be staying at the state pen. Trump wants her sprung and might still have something pictured. We don't know much about what the US does overseas, because the guy in charge, Vladimir Putin, tends to keep things close to his chest. Vlad's advisor, Steve Witkoff, leaked some guidance that he gave on how to play Trump, which turns out to not be too hard.  Ha ha! Oh, well. That's Our Trump!™

In Donald Trump's second term, we've seen a flurry of pardons and commutations. Of course, every President is granted the pardon power, but with this administration, pardons often seem to have a price tag. We're joined by Liz Oyer, former US pardon attorney (appointed by Biden and fired by Trump), to discuss some of the shadier pardons doled out during Trump's second term (so far).  Oyer lays out how several of Trump's pardons are motivated by money, loyalty, and retribution. Of course, we discuss the blanket pardon of the January 6th rioters, but we also examine the pardon of cryptocurrency-crook Changpeng Zhao, who Oyer says "might be the most corrupt pardon in American history." We dig into Trump's current pardon attorney, Ed Martin, a political operative who believes in "No MAGA left behind." Even Republicans found him too extreme to be a US Attorney, so Trump put him in charge of pardons and commutations.  Plus, we get Oyer's unfiltered opinion of the Ghislane Maxwell/Jeffrey Epstein saga AND Hunter Biden's pardon at the end of Joe Biden's term.  READ Liz Oyer's Substack at https://www.lawyeroyer.com/ Check out our sponsor Ollie for premium dog food!

The law restricts access to federal public benefits for individuals who are not U.S. citizens or qualifying residents. “Under President Trump's leadership, we are enforcing the law and preventing illegal aliens from claiming tax benefits intended for American citizens,” Bessent told Breitbart.” “The regulation will specify that the refundable portions of the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Additional Child Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Saver's Match Credit constitute federal public benefits. As a result, the Treasury Department said, illegal immigrants and other foreign nationals will not be eligible to receive them. “Treasury's Office of Tax Policy and the Internal Revenue Service have worked tirelessly to advance this initiative and ensure its successful implementation,” Bessent said. “Their diligence and professionalism reflect this administration's determination to uphold the integrity of our tax system.

President DJT How Andrew Jackson Freed America From Central Bank Control… And Why It Matters Now It's hard to believe the United States government was ever debt-free. But it happened once—in 1835—thanks to President Andrew Jackson. He was the first and only president   When he became president, Jackson was determined to rid the US of its national debt. After all, debt enslaves you to your creditors. Jackson knew that being debt-free was essential to independence. This outlook resonated with many Americans back then. With that in mind, Jackson attacked the institutions and powerful people who promoted and enabled the federal debt. This included the banking elites and the Second Bank of the United States, the country's central bank at the time and precursor to today's insidious Federal Reserve system. Jackson couldn't squeeze the American people with a federal income tax to repay the debt. It didn't exist at the time and would have been unconstitutional. He also couldn't simply print currency to pay off the debt. Perpetuating such an insane fraud—which the Fed does on a massive scale today—likely never entered his mind. Instead, Jackson had to rely on tax revenue from other sources, mainly import tariffs and excise taxes, to pay down the debt. He also drastically cut federal spending and frequently vetoed spending bills. Jackson's determination worked. By January 1835, the US was debt-free for the first time. Unfortunately, it didn't last much more than a year. After that, the US would never again be debt-free—not even close. Revenge of the Central Bankers After Jackson succeeded in ending the Second Bank of the United States, anything associated with a central bank became deeply unpopular with the American public. So, central bank advocates tried a new branding strategy.     Source: zerohedge.com Political/Rights https://twitter.com/DHSgov/status/1991603017242603943?s=20  spouse -Domestic battery by strangulation -Coerce with threat of force -Driving on suspended license -Multiple DUIs -Possession of a controlled substance.

HUGE BACKFIRE on the left. https://twitter.com/TheSCIF/status/1992089750812119197?s=20 DOGE Geopolitical War/Peace https://twitter.com/StateDeputySpox/status/1992400253547651236?s=20 The leaked 28-point peace plan, proposed by the Trump administration to end the Ukraine-Russia war, has sparked significant controversy due to its perceived favoritism toward Russia, including provisions for Ukraine to cede additional eastern territory, cap its military size, and potentially limit NATO aspirations in exchange for a ceasefire and security guarantees. axios.com The plan emerged from weeks of secret U.S.-Russia negotiations, including a Miami meeting involving Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and sanctioned Russian official Kirill Dmitriev, which bypassed key U.S. bodies like the State Department and National Security Council.   It was presented to Ukraine with a Thursday deadline from Trump for acceptance, though he noted it wasn’t a “final offer,” amid ongoing talks in Geneva between Rubio, Witkoff, and Ukrainian officials. Regarding Marco Rubio’s involvement as Secretary of State, initial reports indicated he distanced himself from the plan during a phone call with a bipartisan group of U.S. senators (including Mike Rounds and Angus King), describing it as a “Russian wish list” rather than an official U.S. position, and clarifying it was merely a document passed along from Moscow.  However, Rubio and the State Department later publicly reversed this stance, insisting the plan was “authored” by the U.S. with input from both Russian and Ukrainian sides, denying claims of purely Russian origins and calling such assertions “blatantly false.”  This flip-flop has fueled criticism of incompetence and internal disarray in the administration, with European allies like Poland questioning the plan’s true authorship, and figures like Boris Johnson labeling it a “betrayal” and “military castration” of Ukraine.  Recent updates suggest the draft has been revised to better reflect Ukraine’s priorities, per NSDC Secretary Rustem Umerov, potentially in response to backlash https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/1992413078160617849?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1992413078160617849%7Ctwgr%5E0f66861c566f50b41a9af07d57fe1e73a72fec8b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fwardclark%2F2025%2F11%2F23%2Fa-new-wrinkle-secstate-distances-us-from-unacceptable-ukraine-proposal-n2196487 https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/1991899588241076591?s=20 https://twitter.com/kadmitriev/status/1991935021259919768?s=20 https://twitter.com/InsiderGeo/status/1991818640467874060?s=20  why also they are pushing maximalist demands.From their perspective, it's simple: if Ukraine accepts, they achieve their goals immediately.

Impact of Greene’s Resignation Numerical Effect: Starting January 5, 2026, her safe Republican seat in Georgia’s 14th district will become vacant, dropping Republicans to 218 occupied seats against Democrats’ 213 (assuming no other changes, with vacancies rising to 4). This shrinks their effective margin to just 5 votes, leaving almost no room for internal dissent, illnesses, or travel delays—issues that have plagued the GOP in recent years with narrow majorities.  Passing legislation could become trickier on contentious bills, as even one or two holdouts might sink votes without Democratic support. Temporary Nature: Georgia law requires a special election for House vacancies, typically scheduled within 2-3 months by the governor. Given the district’s strong Republican lean (she won reelection in 2024 by over 30 points), it’s highly likely to be filled by another Republican, restoring the majority relatively quickly.  In summary, while the resignation tightens an already precarious majority and could complicate near-term votes in early 2026, it’s not a game-changer long-term. Republicans have navigated similar slim margins before, often relying on procedural tools or bipartisan deals when needed. https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/1992360234913050627?s=20 https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1992586669204070761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1992586669204070761%7Ctwgr%5E63a82205206ed50771f6d6684add6a3453443c47%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fmarjorie-taylor-greene-responds-report-that-she-is%2F   ending barrage of phone calls, Marjorie went BAD.

They can tell you they STARTED an investigation, but some people seem to think means the public is entitled to some kinda blow-by-blow every other week about where the investigation is, who’s a target, who’s not a target, who’s being indicted, when the indictment will be unsealed, etc. etc. And no, they can’t tell you.

Ed Martin cannot respond because he cannot comment on an ongoing investigation. Some on the right fell for this MSDNC disinformation and are claiming Todd Blanche is investigating Ed Martin. This is untrue, and the story was fake on its face. Adam Schiff is a criminal who evaded accountability for over a decade, and this DoJ is about to have him indicted. This is the real story. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1992036443040965116?s=20  KEEP it that way and overturn California’s!

He believes the military is examining it. And he thinks military courts may already be looking at the Democrats' behaviour. This is unprecedented. Members of Congress and a sitting U.S. Senator publicly told soldiers to disregard the Commander-in-Chief — the kind of act that, as Trump reminded, was historically punishable by death. He clarified he's not threatening them — but he made one thing unmistakably clear: “They're in serious trouble.” Democrats tried to spark insubordination. Trump just signalled the U.S. military justice system might be stepping in.

Donald Trump has made flouting the law and daring anyone to challenge his ability to do so a hallmark of his second term, but a new video reminding Americans of the limits of Trump's power has him in a red-faced tantrum. The video consists of several members of Congress who are veterans of the military and intelligence services pointing out the fact that members of the military are not required to follow illegal orders.Donald Trump called for the deaths of Democratic members of Congress who are military and intelligence service veterans who participated in a video reminded members of the military that they should not follow illegal orders, prompting hundreds of death threats to those legislators and making additional security for their protection necessary. Despite vociferous concern about violent political rhetoric in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Republican condemnation of Trump has been light. Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Maggie Goodlander talk with Jen Psaki about preserving legal and moral clarity in the face of Trump's lawlessness and threats.Jen Psaki explains how the political revenge prosecution of Adam Schiff by two of Donald Trump's lackeys, Ed Martin and Bill Pulte, has not only fallen apart as a legal case, but has flipped on Trump's investigators, who now find themselves the subjects of a new Justice Department investigation.

The lies around the James Comey indictment continue to grow, and we suspect we won't have Imaginary US Attorney Lindsey Halligan to kick around much longer. The US Attorney's Office in Maryland would like her to have some company on her way out. Meanwhile, MAGA's biggest nemesis, Judge James Boasberg in DC, is moving full speed ahead with criminal contempt hearings to figure out everyone in the Trump administration who decided to defy his orders. And Trump's strategy to openly demand that Republicans gerrymander even more Congressional districts in his favor seems to have backfired. Plus, for subscribers, we have a bonus segment on yet another judge having to tell a state no, OF COURSE you can't post the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.   Links:   The Redistricting Wars (Ft.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Natalie Orpett, Eric Columbus, and Molly Roberts, to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“I Don't Think You're Ready for the Shutdown.” The record-setting shutdown of the U.S. government is set to come to an end after eight Democratic senators agreed to a continuing resolution that will fund all of the government through January 30, certain chunks of the government all the way through the end of the fiscal year, and made a number of concessions along the way. What should we make of this deal, and what are the political ramifications—particularly for Democrats, many of whom are quite angry at those who ultimately voted for this plan?“Overt Acts.” Last week, in a move quite publicly celebrated by his controversial clemency czar Ed Martin, President Trump issued pardons for dozens of individuals accused of participating in efforts to manipulate the results of the 2020 election in his favor, including his former attorney Rudy Giuliani and other alleged “unindicted co-conspirators” in his own, since-abandoned federal criminal prosecution. Indeed, Trump himself was the only one who was federally indicted for 2020 election manipulations, making the most immediate legal effect of these pardons unclear. What is Trump trying to accomplish in issuing them? And what could the ramifications be for future elections?“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” Even as his prosecutions against James Comey and Letitia James have faced headwinds, the Trump administration appears to be moving full speed ahead with criminal investigations against other of his perceived enemies—including a large-scale investigation into government reports alleging Russian support for Trump in 2016 that was recently transferred from Justice Department officials in Eastern Pennsylvania to the more Trump-friendly terrain of Southern Florida. What is the current state of the revenge campaign the Trump administration has been pursuing, and where does it seem set to lead?In object lessons, Natalie is appreciating both “The History of the New Yorkers Vaunted Fact Checking Department” and the small army of neurotic geniuses who march forward in pursuit of journalistic integrity. Eric is appreciating The Week Junior, his daughter's favorite magazine that proves real journalism isn't just for grown-ups. Scott is appreciating The Far Side's online presence, updated daily—a reminder that the line between journalism and cartooning is always thinner than we'd like to admit. And Molly is appreciating an “illuminating” visit to Glenstone, where Jenny Holzer's art reads like journalism etched in light, documenting the lingering shadows of some dark subjects.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Debt - The U.S. government's gross national debt surpassed $38 trillion Wednesday, a record number that highlights the accelerating accumulation of debt on America's balance sheet. - It's also the fastest accumulation of a trillion dollars in debt outside of the COVID-19 pandemic — the U.S. hit $37 trillion in gross national debt in August this year. - “During his first eight months in office, President Trump has reduced the deficit by $350 billion compared to the same period in 2024 by cutting spending and boosting revenue,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement, adding that the administration would pursue robust economic growth, lower inflation, tariff revenue, lower borrowing costs and cuts to waste, fraud and abuse. - Petersen Foundation: “Along with increasing debt, you get higher interest costs, which are now the fastest growing part of the budget,” Peterson added. “We spent $4 trillion on interest over the last decade, but will spend $14 trillion in the next ten years.

This week, Scott sat down with old and new Lawfare colleagues—Benjamin Wittes, Renée DiResta, and Michael Feinberg—to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“An Old Fashioned Anti Raid.” Former Trump National Security Advisor (turned Trump critic) John Bolton got a rude awakening this past week when the FBI conducted a raid at his home, reportedly on the grounds that he is believed to have retained classified information from his time in office. It's the latest in a recent spate of (well publicized) investigations targeting Trump's critics and enemies, including a series of mortgage fraud investigations into Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook (who Trump now purports to have removed for cause), New York Attorney General Letitia James (which coincided with a photo shoot that Justice Department official Ed Martin did, uninvited, outside of her home), and Senator Adam Schiff. How big a threat are such investigations to Trump's enemies? And what will their long-term implications be for the Justice Department?“Uncleared and Present Danger.” Last week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard pulled security clearances from 37 current and former intelligence officials on the purported grounds that they had “abused the public trust by politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified intelligence without authorization, and/or committing intentional egregious violations of tradecraft standards.” Those affected range from current senior intelligence officials to former officials who have been out of government for years to current senior congressional staffers. What are the consequences likely to be of Gabbard's actions and what does it show about the Trump administration's approach to national security agencies?“Blue Sky Thinking.” In response to a state law mandating age verification for anyone seeking to use social media platforms, Bluesky has opted to shut down its services in the state of Mississippi. What does this sort of response tell us about the trajectory of state and federal regulations, and what the impact might ultimately be on the internet?In Object Lessons, Ben is letting The Algorithm light his way—literally—with solar-powered sunflower lights. Renée, not to be outdone, also bows before our algorithmic overlord and wants you to stream Red Bull's YouTube dance battles. Scott is using his green thumb to plant the seeds of some versatile green fruit. And Michael is going less horticultural, more horrifying, by planting horror movie props around his house—because nothing says “I love you” like a severed head in the fridge.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
