SEASON 4 EPISODE 63: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENTS: Trump should be in prison JUST for his new role in the new covering-up of the part of the Epstein files that are about him. Trump. The accusations are against Trump. The memos are about Trump. The investigations are OF Trump. They are missing. There is a law saying Trump must produce them. He has not. That is, by definition, a cover-up. A conspiracy to BURY evidence. Even if somehow it CLEARED him. SPECIAL COMMENT No. 2: As the Kash Patel Olympic Scandal expands exponentially, we have buried the lede. Patel claims he was at the Olympics, working, running American security. Let's suspend our disbelief and say he's NOT lying. If he really was at the Olympics to run American security - WHY WAS HE DRINKING ON THE JOB? Why was he out-of-control drinking with the people he was there to protect? The experts like my old MSNBC pal Juliette Kayyem are stunned: Security is not allowed to DRINK, during an event, during an Olympics. Not until the entire Olympics were over. ESPECIALLY if you are IN CHARGE of security! If you are hired for security, they put "no drinking" in your contract. SPECIAL COMMENT No. 3: Why are the US Olympic men's hockey players not only still digging but digging new additional holes? Now it's not just drinking with Patel and laughing at terrible misogynistic jokes by Trump, but all but five of them were used as political props by Trump at the State of the Union, one (Tage Thompson) was photographed in a complete MAGA hat with the Press Secretary, the winning goal scorer is complaining everybody else made it political - and Auston Matthews (a Mexican-American who captains Canada's team and has thus had two of his three countries threatened by Trump) is standing there grinning behind Trump in the Oval Office, disgracing his team and its fans and his mother and his own relatives. B-Block (47:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Fox's Jesse Watters doesn't want a president who struggles to read (prefers one who can't read at all). The popular internet delusion that the president the last time the Americans won Olympic hockey gold was Reagan (it wasn't). And MAGA internet disease victim Senator Mike Lee says ICE dresses like Mexican Cartels. C-Block (58:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: As CBS continues to dissolve before our eyes, the sad truth that network news has been collapsing since at least the night in September 1997 when I was summoned by the president of NBC to have dinner with the chief of the MS part of MSNBC with instructions to humor and ignore him because all we wanted was his money.

President Trump Slams Open Border Dems, Supreme Court Tariff Ruling, Calls Out Democrat Election Fraud & More In Historic State Of The Union Address

In Chapter 10 of Stolen Elections, CannCon, Ashe in America, and Colonel Towner Watkins continue their methodical breakdown of election systems, focusing on the mechanisms and legal frameworks that govern ballot security and chain of custody. The discussion centers on documented procedural failures, discrepancies in oversight, and the statutory requirements that were allegedly bypassed or inconsistently enforced. The hosts walk through specific examples outlined in the chapter, examining how signature verification, observer access, and administrative rule changes affected public confidence. Colonel Towner provides strategic and structural insight into how election safeguards are supposed to function versus how they were implemented in practice. The conversation remains grounded in the book's documented claims, emphasizing timelines, affidavits, and legal arguments presented within the chapter. Rather than broad speculation, the episode highlights the author's evidence-based assertions and the constitutional questions raised about authority, transparency, and accountability. Chapter 10 advances the larger thesis of Stolen Elections by detailing how procedural deviations, once normalized, can fundamentally alter electoral integrity.

On the February 24 episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold opens with a major Badlands Media milestone: after months of review, the @BadlandsMedia YouTube channel has officially been monetized. Jon explains the branding decision behind reclaiming the main handle, what monetization means for the team, and why the mission remains unchanged. From there, he previews President Trump's upcoming State of the Union address, including Democrat boycotts, potential theatrics, and key issues expected to dominate the speech — especially the economy, tariffs, and midterm positioning. Jon reacts to FedEx suing for tariff refunds, discusses inflation versus wage growth, and questions whether Americans are actually feeling economic improvement. The conversation then shifts into a candid back-and-forth with the chat about election integrity, voter participation, the SAVE Act, and whether Congress is capable of real reform. Jon makes clear his skepticism about the current system while expressing hope that meaningful exposure and change are still ahead. A slow news day turns into a wide-ranging discussion on money, media, elections, and the state of the union — both political and personal.   

In 2024, Senegal faced a severe constitutional and electoral crisis. The presidential vote was postponed, tensions escalated, and fears of democratic breakdown intensified. Yet democracy held. Why? In this episode of People Power Politics, Temitayo Odeyemi speaks with Catherine Lena Kelly and Ibrahima Fall and about their Journal of Democracy article, “Why Senegal's Democracy Survived.” They examine how the Constitutional Council asserted its independence under executive pressure, how civil society mobilised to defend constitutional norms, and how what they call democratic “muscle memory” shaped citizen response. The discussion situates Senegal's experience within a wider regional context of coups and democratic regression. What explains Senegal's divergence? Are its institutional safeguards transferable, or deeply context-specific? And what lessons does this case hold for democracies worldwide facing executive overreach? Catherine Lena Kelly is Director of Engagement at the Africa Center for Strategic Studies and author of Party Proliferation and Political Contestation in Africa: Senegal in Comparative Perspective (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020). Ibrahima Fall is Director of Studies at the School of International Commerce, Communications, and Business Techniques (ETICCA) in Dakar and a leading analyst of Senegalese governance and constitutional politics.

The Men's USA Hockey Team becomes the center of a political firestorm after their White House appearance and SOTU connection—drawing criticism from media figures, commentators, and even former officials.

Dr. Andy Woods is president of Chafer Theological Seminary & senior pastor of Sugar Land Bible Church in Houston. He's also a lawyer, a speaker at numerous Bible conferences, as well as an author of several books including the one discussed on this broadcast: The Bible and Your Vote: Biblical Principles for any Election. Before elections in recent years you may have heard someone say, "This is the most important election in our lifetimes!" In other words, there's some sense with many people that the consequences of such elections are greater than ever. In spite of this, there are many who make the following excuses not to vote: They claim their vote doesn't count. They believe their citizenship is in heaven, therefore they don't vote on the earth. Some believe that if they vote for the lesser of two evils, they're still voting for evil, therefore they feel obligated not to participate. God puts into office who he wills, therefore some people feel they must step aside and not get in the way. Review this broadcast, and you'll see why such excuses are not biblical, as Dr. Woods kicks things off by looking at voting as a matter of stewardship. From there he continues on by looking at other issues related to voting including economic, social, climate, power/personal rights, foreign policy and more. Listeners brought their questions and comments to the discussion as well.

Team USA Women's Hockey Declines SOTU Invite Trump joked he'd “have to” invite the women's team or risk impeachment. The women were formally invited. They declined, citing scheduling conflicts. The moment undercut a carefully curated State of the Union optics play. Theme: You can't manufacture unity if respect sounds reluctant.“Have to Invite the Women” Joke Backfires Trump framed inviting the women as political necessity. Delivered during a celebratory moment with the men's team. Comment intensified scrutiny around women's sports recognition. The later decline amplified the original tone problem. Theme: If the punchline boomerangs, it wasn't clever — it was careless. FBI Director Kash Patel Locker-Room Optics Patel appeared in Team USA's celebration footage. Critics questioned neutrality optics. Lands amid broader politicization concerns. Theme: When federal authority looks like VIP access, perception becomes the story.  Supreme Court Limits Emergency Tariff Authority Court ruled emergency powers cannot stretch into unilateral trade control. Reaffirmed Congress's constitutional role. Trump criticized ruling and claimed leverage. Legal confusion around which tariffs remain valid. Theme: Executive improvisation vs. constitutional guardrails. Customs Halts Struck Tariffs — New 15% Global Tariff Imposed Customs deactivated invalidated tariff codes. Massive potential refund exposure. Trump imposed new 15% tariff under alternate authority. Markets face renewed uncertainty. Theme: Policy respawn mechanics. Trump Suggests Federal Election Takeover Floated nationalizing election administration. Elections constitutionally run by states. Raised concerns about expanding executive reach. Theme: When referees become targets.

Dr. Bob sits down with Dinesh D'Souza—author, filmmaker, and one of the most influential conservative voices of our time—to trace the roots of today's chaos back to history, ideology, and spiritual warfare.Dinesh breaks down how the Muslim Brotherhood helped shape modern radical Islam and why Iran matters as a state sponsor of jihadist ambitions.  Then the conversation turns to America: immigration, how the Left is fueling radical Islam, the “red-green” alliance, and whether the West is being pressured from the outside—or dismantled from within.We also tackle the post-October 7th explosion of anti-Semitism, and Dinesh explains the argument behind his latest film The Dragon's Prophecy: today's turmoil in the Middle East may be part of a much larger, biblical narrative.Finally, Dinesh weighs in on Trump's second-term priorities, midterm risk, and why election security proposals like the SAVE Act have become a defining fight in Washington.#dineshdsouza #radicalislam #muslimbrotherhood #iran #securetheborder  #voterid #Antisemitism #jewish #midtermelections #trump #Israel #muslim #islam #liberal

As Lord Mandelson's arrest sends shock waves through Westminster, Sir Keir Starmer is set to face his biggest electoral test yet.It is not just a by-election; it is a referendum on the establishment. This week, all eyes are on Manchester as the Gorton and Denton by-election prepares to deliver a verdict that could redefine the UK's political map and stick another nail in Labour's coffin.Camilla and Tim are joined by Scarlett Maguire, pollster and founder of Merlin Strategies, to break down the numbers in what is traditionally a “red wall” fortress, discuss the extraordinary unpopularity of Sir Keir and the potential for a new coalition government.And they catch up with Matt Goodwin, Reform UK's controversial candidate. The academic-turned-politician discusses his belief that the party will win the seat, the “darker forces” and “sectarianism” he claims his opponents are enabling, his comments on the UK's fertility crisis and Reform's push to win over white working-class and minority voters.Producer: Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanVideo Producer: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleSocial Producer: Nada AggourEditor: Camilla Tominey Hosted on Acast.

Three separate scandals have raised serious questions over Keir Starmer's judgement. It's empowered Labour MPs who were once written off as cranks. And with many files still to come out, the questions will keep on coming.Meanwhile, the PM is selling the idea that the Gorton and Denton by-election is a two-horse race between Reform UK and Labour, but will voters believe him when the Green Party is campaigning hard on Gaza? Also, is parliament fit for purpose on the subject of the royal family?Steven Swinford, political editor, The TimesPatrick Maguire, chief political commentator, The TimesGabriel Pogrund, Whitehall editor, The Sunday TimesProducer: Euan DawtreyExecutive producer: Molly GuinnessPicture credit: Getty ImagesEmail us: thestateofit@thetimes.co.ukThis podcast was brought to you thanks to subscribers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

 It was hailed as the "Mega-Alliance" that would reshape Nigeria's political future. The African Democratic Congress, ADC, became the unlikely home for former rivals, bringing together the heavyweights of the opposition. But today, the cracks in the foundation are becoming impossible to ignore. Whispers of a fallout between the Atiku Abubakar camp and the Peter Obi movement are growing louder. With ego, ambition, and the 2027 presidential ticket at stake, is this coalition headed for a divorce before the honeymoon even ends?Today on Nigeria Daily, we go inside the ADC to examine the internal friction, the rumors of Peter Obi's exit, and what this misalignment means for the opposition's chances in the next election.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 62: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In case you somehow missed it, Kash Patel's enablers at the FBI (Fan Boys International) were busily denying he went to Italy for the Olympics just to see the hockey game and jock-sniff the victorious U.S. team when all sorts of video leaked out of the dressing room showing him doing exactly that - dancing, drinking, cringing. And then Patel himself couldn't resist Supposedly we sent 100 agents to help with security and he just had to be there. Guesstimated cost just for his latest stage of his perpetual vacation on our dime? $400,000. It would be bad - a future administration will probably address it as misappropriation of funds. But what makes it worse is there's a piece by Patel from 2022 complaining about previous FBI directors wasting money on vacation, and a clip about his FBI predecessor Christopher Wray's vacation travel. Simply impeaching him is insufficient. He needs to go to prison. NOT THAT TRUMP WOULD DO THAT; THIS IS THE BEHAVIOR TRUMP TEACHES: Trump is a thief and he owes you and me at least 293 billion dollars - and we want it back. The worst thief in American history - and 270 billion of that is in tariffs. Because on tariffs, the Supreme Court has given him his COMEUPPANCE. Well – it’s given him A comeuppance. Because his new argument for the new REPLACEMENT Monday tariffs was his old argument AGAINST overturning the old Friday tariffs. But the key thing the Court actually did was give his cult a mortal shock. It is the first official body to give the Trump-Town Guyana Death Cult the message: that he is making this crap up, as he goes ALONG. -- Plus: an actual good idea from Boris Johnson: to send peacekeepers to Ukraine – NOW. And I’M the guy who thinks the Hockey Gold Medal is a BAD THING. And no, the John Barron who called into C-SPAN wasn’t Trump – he was too coherent. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Mark Zuckerberg manages to lose a lawsuit before the trial starts, Kid Rock proves he's not charging $5000 for front row tickets by confessing he IS charging $5000 for front row tickets, and Stephen Miller's wife has another one of those Freudian slips that may be desperate pleas for help from inside a bad situation. C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Baseball has already started so time for my annual explanation: why I don't work for baseball's TV network even though they offered me my own show and I accepted it. It has to do with a big league club threatening them if they didn't renege.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When people break with MAGA, most of them walk away and don't look back, whether out of shame or fear or both. So it's a rare thing to talk with someone willing to describe publicly why they joined the Trump movement, what life was like on the inside, and the reasons they left — but it's just such a conversation we have for you today, with writer and former New Right firebrand Pedro L. Gonzales. Enjoy.  Sources: Pedro L.

Mike calls on America’s patriots to stand tall as left-wing outrage targets everything from the USA hockey team’s gold-medal celebration to FBI Director Kash Patel joining the locker room party. He tackles growing frustration over the Epstein files and fears that Republican voter apathy could cost crucial elections, warning that staying home only hands power back to America-hating radicals. From Olympic pride to midterm momentum, Mike makes the case that patriotism, turnout, and unity—not outrage—will decide the country’s future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Luke chapter 10, the Lord appointed seventy disciples and sent them ahead of Him into the places He would soon visit. We don't know their names, and Scripture is mostly silent about what became of them afterward, but the lessons from their mission are clear and searching. In this episode of Words of Grace, … Continue reading "Lessons from the Seventy"
