SEASON 4 EPISODE 46: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Well, that's it in sum, isn't it? He's "El Presidente" now, isn't he? Military Dictator. Succeeding Maduro. Until he finds somebody else to “run” it. Not the elected Vice President. Not the actual winner of the last election. Not the U-N. Maybe somebody he, in his dysfunctional haze, somebody he can trust. Maybe an oil executive. Or Elon Musk. Or Catturd. The invasion was illegal there, and illegal here. The kidnapping was illegal. Declaring we would run it is illegal. Naming a proxy dictator is illegal. As was his threat yesterday to the acting president that quote “if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro” and calling for her belief that her country shouldn’t be invaded by another country breaking its own laws is quote “defiant rejection.” THAT’S illegal. It’s all illegal. That’s a lot of illegal – even for Trump. And I say this, hating Maduro completely. So he needs to be impeached, if not now then a year from now. Rubio can be impeached now for deceiving Congress about its approval. And both of them turned over to the World Court. And the ramifications are almost uncountable, including emboldening them to consider this in Cuba, Greenland, Iran. The poll numbers are terrible, and the risk to Americans of terrorism and violence are just as terrible. And maybe worst of all the evidence of linkage between Putin's strange silence about his ally Maduro, and Trump's dithering about Ukraine, is terrible too. But at least it produced a pretty good Olivia Nuzzi joke. ALSO: WHY DID THEY CHANGE THE TRUMP HEALTH COVER-UP STORY AGAIN? Five significant changes, about his MRI/CT, his cardiovascular health, and now the total of Cognitive tests he's gotten in just the last nine months. Three? Not two? He's really needed three tests in nine months? To repeat the insightful question from his niece Mary Trump: Why do they have to keep giving him cognitive tests? B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: There's begging the new boss to let you keep your current job, then there's what CBS Legal Analyst Jan Crawford is doing for Bari Weiss to try to keep hers. Chuck Schumer comes out firing on Venezuela: with one-millionth of one barrel blazing. And just when you think Cheryl Hines can't get any dumber, Tucker Carlson tries to talk to her about vaccines. C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Will Ferrell did a great comedy bit at the L.A. Kings hockey game on New Year's Day and he did it for the pure joy of it. Which reminded me of the difference between amateurs and pros, and of the days when "Anchorman" was new and Will and I ad libbed a pretty good comedy bit that he said he really loved doing.

THE DESERT ONE TRAGEDY AND THE GEOPOLITICAL STAKES OF THE 1980 ELECTION Colleague Craig Unger. Author Craig Unger discusses the failed "Desert One" rescue mission on April 24, 1980, where mechanical failures and a collision resulted in eight American deaths, ending any immediate hope of rescuing 52 hostages held in Iran. Unger explains that while the Shah of Iran had been a US puppet installed by a 1953 CIA coup, the 1979 revolution replaced him with a hostile Islamic Republic, turning a strategic ally into an enemy. The hostage crisis became the central issue of the 1980 campaign; a successful rescue would likely have secured Carter's reelection, while failure favored Ronald Reagan. Additionally, the segment highlights the strained relationship between Carter and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, noting that despite the Camp David Accords, Israel feared an Iraqi victory over Iran would create a dangerous regional superpower.

While the start of a new year often prompts reflection and resolutions, Scripture consistently calls God's people to something deeper than surface-level change, a true turning of the heart and mind.

The plan eliminated the federal tax on tips and overtime pay for linemen and factory workers, and created a new deduction for seniors relying on Social Security. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called it “the most pro-worker, pro-family legislation in a generation.”   several blue-state governors were refusing to reciprocate by eliminating state taxes on tips, including Govs. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.), J.B. Pritzker (D-Ill.), and Jared Polis (D-Colo.). Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused them of “deliberately blocking their own residents” from the bill's benefits at the state level. Bessent made clear that states that refused to comply with the law should expect consequences. “Treasury stands ready to work with any state committed to delivering on that promise, but we will not stand idly by as this obstructionism drags down the national recovery,” he said. “This is about fairness. This is about opportunity. And this is about putting America first, starting with the families and workers who make our economy the envy of the world.” Kathy Hochul has now caved. On New Year's Day, she announced that New York will finally move to exempt service workers' tips from state income taxes on up to $25,000 in tipped income.   “Starting today, tax rates for the vast majority of lower and middle-class New Yorkers will be cut, families with children will see a sweeping increase in the child tax credit, and minimum wage workers across the state will see their wages go up. I'm kicking the new year off with a proposal of no state income tax on tips, continuing my efforts to make New York more affordable for hard working New Yorkers.” The change comes only after months of outrage from restaurant owners and service workers who accused Albany of putting politics ahead of paychecks. Service industry workers noticed and called it a slap in the face to people barely scraping by in such an expensive state.   Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2007496574889537687?s=20 https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2007500910277325260?s=20 https://twitter.com/TKL_Adam/status/2007468568619696559?s=20  damaged last night. On top of this, President Trump says the US will be “very much involved” in Venezuela’s oil industry going forward and China is “going to get oil.” In 2010, Venezuela was producing over 3 million barrels of oil per day, now down to ~900,000. If the US truly takes control of Venezuela’s oil industry, MUCH more supply is coming to market. Oil and gas prices would head much lower.

Bush, aimed at deposing Noriega and bringing him to face U.S. charges of drug trafficking, money laundering, and racketeering.  To pressure Noriega into surrendering, U.S. psychological operations teams blasted loud rock music—including tracks like Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle,” Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” and Van Halen’s “Panama”—at the embassy nonstop, contributing to his decision to give up.   He was immediately flown to Miami, where he stood trial, was convicted in 1992, and initially sentenced to 40 years in prison (later reduced).  After serving time in the U.S., Noriega was extradited to France in 2010 for money laundering charges, and finally to Panama in 2011 to face additional sentences for murder, corruption, and human rights abuses during his rule.   He died in Panama in 2017 while under house arrest for medical reasons.   The invasion itself involved around 25,000 U.S. troops, resulting in 23 American deaths, hundreds wounded, and estimates of 200–4,000 Panamanian civilian casualties, drawing international criticism despite achieving its primary objective. https://twitter.com/BillAckman/status/2007796748631314839?s=20 https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/2007549887098040495?s=20  https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2007518675641983427?s=20   advance. Trump Admin's Top Secret Maduro Military Operation Plans Reportedly Leaked To Legacy Media Outlets Despite an unidentified party leaking plans of the Trump administration's top secret military operation targeting Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela to both The New York Times and the Washington Post, neither publication decided to expose it, Semafor reported Saturday night. Two anonymous sources, described as familiar with the communication between the administration and media outlets, told Semafor that both outlets declined to break the news on the operation before it happened out of concern for U.S. troops involved. The military incursion, carried out early Saturday, resulted in the capture and ouster of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, whom a grand jury later indicted on four charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy. The identity of the leaker or leakers was not made public as of Sunday morning.

Under Maduro, Venezuela had become the Latin American crossroads for all of the USA’s principal enemies. Maduro was nurturing relationships with Russia, Hezbollah and Iran. Worst of all, Venezuela was eagerly becoming a part of Red China’s Belt & Road initiative. As America’s enemies were lining up Venezuela as their base of operations in the Western Hemisphere to cause mischief and destruction for the USA, Maduro was at the same time making Venezuela a crossroads, safe haven and enabler for all manner of narcoterrorist operations, ranging from Colombia’s FARC to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel. On top of all that, Venezuela had become a key player in the illegal alien invasion of the USA, shipping its very worst to the USA in a deliberate and comprehensive destabilizing operation that might have worked had Donald Trump not won in 2024. Next in importance: oil. The global and regional ambitions of both China and Russia are in large part dependent on the politics of petroleum, and the USA just deprived both of the cudgel afforded by friendly Venezuelan oil. Trump opponents say “It’s about oil” as if that was a bad thing. Yeah, it’s about oil. Finally, all of this was in keeping with the most essential and fundamental foreign policy mandate of the USA almost since the nation’s inception: the Monroe Doctrine. Operations like what Maduro was running simply cannot be allowed in the Western Hemisphere. Trump was right for falling back on this most basic of doctrines that protects the USA’s sovereignty. So was Maduro seized because of some five year-old drug charges? Yes. Legally–yes. However, like so many strategic issues in the world today, an action needed to be backed by the fine points of law, and it was. But the reality is that the Maduro takedown was a Monroe Doctrine-driven necessity that has greatly enhanced the power and national security of the USA. Congratulations, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and the rest of the Trump national security team: you boldly took the steps necessary to defend the USA. Well done. https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2007597322549469370?s=20  Uh… but what about America 1st!!!!” Dominating our hemisphere is America 1st.

Faced with a fresh protest movement 16-plus years later led by street vendors, President Donald Trump has taken the opposite tact in a robust embrace of everyday Iranians that caught the attention of Tehran. If Iran “violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue,” Trump wrote in a 3 a.m. post Friday on his TruthSocial platform. “We are locked and loaded and ready to go.”  The president was not more specific about his intentions, but Iranian dissidents and non-official Trump advisers cheered the statement and said it set the stage for tougher sanctions or other actions by the administration. Interesting Timing – Zelenskyy Planning to Remove Head of the Security Service of Ukraine This is very interesting timing considering the recent denial by Zelenskyy that Ukraine had anything to do with the attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence. According to Politico, Zelenskyy is removing Vasyl Malyuk as head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the state's top counterintelligence agency.

This sermon marks the one-year anniversary of a teaching series on the book of Genesis, emphasizing why the narrative of the Bible remains essential for sharing the gospel in a modern pluralistic culture. Pastor West introduces Abraham as a central historical figure, noting that over half the world's population identifies him as a foundational father of faith. By examining the genealogies of Shem and Terah, the message illustrates how God selects ordinary, often flawed individuals from pagan backgrounds to fulfill a divine plan. The pastor argues that Abraham's call serves as a representative model for believers, demonstrating that God does not require perfection but rather willingness and obedience. Ultimately, the text challenges the congregation to trust God's guidance and take active steps of faith to become a blessing to others in the coming year.Support the showThanks for listening!

BULLETIN: TRUMP'S ILLEGAL WAR WITH VENEZUELA Two months ago, in an interview, Trump's Chief of Staff Susie Wiles "conceded that attacking targets on Venezuela’s mainland would force Trump to get congressional approval. Quote: "If he were to authorize some activity on land, then it’s war, then [we’d need] Congress.'" She was entirely right. Yet overnight Trump invaded Venezuela and seized its leader Nicolas Maduro. To paraphrase his own chief of staff he DID authorize some activity on land, then it’s war, then [we’d need] Congress.'" AND TRUMP BROKE THE LAW AND BREACHED THE CONSTITUTION. And this morning he and his hapless Vice President JD Vance confirmed this is as much about seizing oil - as much about increasing the profits of American corporations - as any supposed "narco-terrorism." Without any Congressional consent, Trump did this - anyway - from inside his madness, from within his monomaniacal delusional fog - without any legal right to do so - without any legal right THERE and without any legal right HERE. On his own. Without congressional approval. Without the nation's approval. Without even the flimsiest of the fig leaves of democracy. Without any international consensus. Without any concern for the consequences. Without any consideration of the precedent he provides China in Taiwan and Russia in Poland and any other tyrannical bandit nation anywhere in this world.And we, thanks to Trump, we - the United States of America - are now that tyrannical bandit nation. It is important to note that on the simple, theoretical scale of who should remain as the leader of a failed rogue state, there is no defense for Nicolas Maduro. There is overwhelming evidence that he fabricated his latest quote “re-election” after first denuding the opposition and the law within his country. Again, by those tokens Trump has just put us on that identical path. And the idea that a country is suffering under a dictator who has no moral right to continue can be said even more easily of Putin. And of Xi in China. And dozens of others, many of whom Trump considers friends, about whom he makes no distinction. Maduro has no moral right to continue as president of Venezuela, and Trump has no moral right to act upon that by himself. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee apparently thought they could help Donald Trump's cause by attacking former special counsel Jack Smith in hearing. Their failure in that endeavor is evidenced by them trying to bury the transcript of Smith's deposition over the New Year's holiday when as few people as possible were paying attention. Michael Feinberg, former FBI official, talks with Jen Psaki about Smith's clear explanation of Donald Trump's criminal culpability. It should come as no surprise to anyone that criminal president Donald Trump is in regular conflict with the law, which means the best place to stop him is in the courts. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who sued the Trump administration 52 times last year, talks with Jen Psaki about why the rule of law is Donald Trump's most successful opponent.Many Democratic candidates are hearing from voters that simply moving on from Donald Trump or thwarting his agenda is not enough. Voters want accountability and they want the damage Trump has done to the United States to be undone. Rep. Eric Swalwell talks with Jen Psaki about Democrats taking a more aggressive stance on how to treat Trump if they can regain control of parts of the federal government.While Marjorie Taylor Greene's split from Donald Trump is uncommon, her doing so while maintaining "America First" and "MAGA" bona fides, and while Trump flakes on Epstein files promises and botches other key issues, signals a weakening of Trump's grip on the Republican Party that may not even survive the duration of his second term. Robert Draper, journalist for the New York Times, discusses with Jen Psaki. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

In this episode of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by special guests Kevin Moncla and former Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer for an extended, detailed discussion focused on Georgia's 2020 election process, with particular attention on Fulton County. The conversation centers on unsigned poll closing tapes, zero tapes, chain-of-custody issues, and whether these procedural failures amount to clerical errors or invalidate large portions of the vote. Kevin Moncla walks through his investigative work, records requests, and formal complaints filed with the Georgia State Election Board, while Stephen Richer offers a legal and administrative counterpoint, explaining how election systems are intended to reconcile voter check-ins, ballots printed, and ballots tabulated. The panel debates Georgia statutes, election board authority, recounts, audits, and the limits of post-election remedies, while also addressing public confidence, accountability, and why these questions continue to matter years later. The episode closes with reflections on transparency, the difficulty of litigating election issues, and the importance of open dialogue, even when perspectives sharply diverge.

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that the upcoming elections in the state will be a fight to protect the nation (Swadesh) & own community (Swajati). He has also repeatedly vowed to 'push back illegal immigrants from Bangladesh'. These comments have been made by the Chief Minister ahead of Assembly Elections in the state. Watch 2016 #NationalInterest, where ThePrint Editor-In-Chief Shekhar Gupta argued how RSS changed Assam's political fault line from anti-outsider to anti-migrant to anti-Muslim infiltrator, and simply borrowed leadership from other parties.

In Bogotá, the political landscape for the 2026 general elections is beginning to crystallize. The Centro Democrático, the primary opposition party founded by former President Álvaro Uribe Vélez, has officially announced Senator Paloma Valencia as its single presidential candidate. She notably surpassed high-profile colleagues María Fernanda Cabal and Paola Holguín.While some analysts have viewed this as a surprising pivot, others see it as a calculated move toward the ideological center-right. Today, we analyze what this means for Colombia's investment climate and how Valencia's profile differs from the "outsider" candidates currently leading early polls.Watch the video version here! https://youtu.be/g_O9mQewW3MListen onApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/colombia-business-news/id1630614746?uo=4Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2rGvtxx1tj7okxz7oRhhzvAudible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/06d26789-6533-4c2f-9b88-1ba555f35836iHeartRadio: https://iheart.com/podcast/98480908Sources and mentionshttps://www.financecolombia.com/in-apparent-desperation-colombian-president-ivan-duque-releases-english-self-interview-whining-about-protests-deflecting-blame/https://www.wradio.com.co/2025/12/15/paloma-valencia-es-la-candidata-oficial-del-centro-democratico-para-elecciones-presidenciales-2026/https://www.swissinfo.ch/spa/senadora-paloma-valencia-es-elegida-candidata-presidencial-del-uribista-centro-democr%C3%A1tico/90643657#:~:text=Valencia%2C%20abogada%20de%2047%20a%C3%B1os,Fernanda%20Cabal%20y%20Paola%20Holgu%C3%ADnhttps://thecitypaperbogota.com/news/hard-left-candidate-ivan-cepeda-leads-poll-for-colombias-2026-election/#:~:text=Cepeda's%20lead%20reflects%20firm%20support,drawing%20backing%20among%20younger%20votershttps://www.swissinfo.ch/spa/senadora-paloma-valencia-es-elegida-candidata-presidencial-del-uribista-centro-democr%C3%A1tico/90643657#:~:text=En%20segundo%20lugar%20se%20situaba,con%20el%208%2C5%20%25https://www.lasillavacia.com/silla-nacional/paloma-la-candidata-con-la-que-el-uribismo-juega-hacia-el-centro/https://www.lasillavacia.com/en-vivo/con-el-46-y-el-17-paloma-gano-las-dos-encuestas-del-uribismo/https://www.eltiempo.com/politica/elecciones-colombia-2026/estos-son-los-movimientos-y-retos-de-las-campanas-politicas-en-la-opinion-publica-de-cara-a-las-elecciones-del-2026-3517280Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/Wikipedia Commons photosClaudia Lopez: Patty Suescún, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0Uribe: Jcvelezuribe, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0Paloma Valencia: Andresx8, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0,María Fernanda: ElBarcobasurero, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0Abelardo de la Espriella: Paulaicf, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0Sergio Fajardo: World Economic Forum, CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/ Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/ Read more at Cognitive Business News: https://cognitivebusiness.news/ The place for bilingual talent! https://empleobilingue.com/ More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/write Contact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

One of the most controversial topics in Christian soteriology is election, the teaching that God chooses who is saved and who isn't. Many do not understand this teaching and stumble over it, so today we will see what the bible says about it as we look at the Old Testament. * 00:00 - Introduction * 07:02 - Election in the Old Testament* 31:01 - The Remnant This is a public episode.

Just one month after Congress moved to strengthen legislation around the hemp industry, a recent White House executive order supports marijuana research. The Trump administration says the drug may be an underlooked treatment for chronic pain. Healthcare experts say 2025’s Affordable Care Act open enrollment period was more confusing and stressful than usual. An estimated 400,000 Pennsylvania seniors are expected to save money on common drugs for diabetes, heart disease and cancer this year. Lower prices for 10 medications covered by Medicare Part D plans are going into effect in 2026. Pennsylvania lawmakers approved a number of new laws in 2025. Some of those new laws are taking effect in January. And a deeper dive: Political candidates are leaning on artificial intelligence to take increasingly pointed — and sometimes misleading — shots at their rivals. WITF’s Jaxon White reports as the technology gets more realistic, experts say voters will have to work harder than ever before to figure out what’s real. Lancaster County Commissioners passed a 2026 budget, on Christmas Eve, that includes a 10% property tax increase. York County Commissioners are disbursing more than $3 million to local organizations. The money is from the latest round of opioid settlement grants. Throughout the holiday season, there have been several stories of goodwill here in central PA. And the first federally funded electric vehicle charging station is now open along the Pennsylvania Turnpike. In uncertain times, our community counts on facts, not noise.

NIXON'S SABOTAGE AND HAMBURGER HILL Colleague Geoffrey Wawro. Richard Nixon won the 1968 election by using Henry Kissinger to secretly sabotage LBJ's peace talks, eventually accepting the same terms in 1973 after four more years of bloodshed. Once in power, Nixon's continuation of "search and destroy" tactics led to the Battle of Hamburger Hill in 1969, where troops captured a meaningless objective only to abandon it, sparking congressional and public outrage. This backlash forced Nixon to abandon coercive ground tactics and pivot toward "Vietnamization," as the American public would no longer tolerate high casualties for insignificant terrain. NUMBER 13

Happy New Year! Jim and Greg are off today but we have you covered with one of their recent specials. Join Jim and Greg as they reflect back on the best, worst, and craziest elections in their memories.First, they start with their favorite elections. Jim looks back at one from earlier this century that not only brought satisfying results but was also a big boost to his career. Meanwhile, Greg feels old but excited in highlighting one from decades ago that was not only a fantastic night in the presidential race but that was also really good down ballot.Next, they look back on the toughest elections and one in particular stands out as Republicans seemed poised for a win but ended up well short. But the lingering effects of that election cycle have reverberated in every election cycle since.Finally, they think about the craziest elections they remember. Is it possible to have an election crazier than one major party nominee and former president getting shot and the incumbent president being forced to drop out by his own party? New episodes every weekday.

On https://rushtoreason.com, guest host Andy Peth fills in for John Rush and is joined by Tanner Coleman. Together, they deliver a fast-paced, unapologetic Hour 1. The pair set the tone for a no-nonsense conversation about culture, leadership, and values. As the year winds down, the discussion starts with humor and reflection. Then, they focus on California's political direction—new laws, wildfire mismanagement, and what critics call a growing gap between common sense and governance. The hour then sharpens its focus on border security, patriotism, and race. The hosts push back against claims from Los Angeles leadership about Hispanic Border Patrol agents. Are these men and women motivated by money, or by love of country and respect for the rule of law? Using real quotes, vivid analogies, and pointed questions, Andy and Tanner challenge listeners. They urge the audience to reconsider media narratives and the real-world consequences of mass illegal immigration. The conversation shifts again. This time, it moves to culture and morality. Humor explores a serious question: do we still teach why things are wrong, or just warn of consequences? That thread sets up the next topics: wealth, taxes, voting, and whether “fairness” quietly replaced personal responsibility. HOUR 2 Andy returns for a hard-hitting Hour 2 alongside Tanner, opening with an intense deep dive into the massive Minnesota fraud scandal tied to COVID-era programs. How did billions in taxpayer dollars allegedly vanish—and why were whistleblowers ignored or silenced? Andy and Tanner argue this wasn't just a bureaucratic failure, but a political one, repeatedly questioning the role of Tim Walz and asking how accountability might look if a different political movement were involved. Mid-hour, the tone shifts as Richard Rush joins the show, bringing weekly NFL picks, playoff implications, and late-season drama. Which teams are collapsing at the worst possible time—and which quarterbacks are carrying franchises on their backs? From draft positioning to coaching courage, the sports conversation mirrors the political theme: leadership matters, mindset matters, and excuses only go so far. Blending sharp analysis, dark humor, and rapid-fire debate, Hour 2 challenges listeners to question media narratives, political double standards, and even how success—or failure—is measured, whether in government or on the field. HOUR 3 Andy Peth and Tanner return for a politically charged Hour 3 with special guest Eli Bremer, taking a hard look at the future of Republican politics in Colorado and beyond. What happens when party unity breaks down—and who pays the price when candidates prioritize personal brand over winning elections? The hour opens with a candid discussion about internal GOP fractures, performative politics, and the fallout surrounding Marjorie Taylor Greene, raising tough questions about loyalty, teamwork, and governing with slim majorities. The conversation then shifts to Colorado, where Eli walks through the importance of vetting candidates in competitive districts like CD8 and CD3, highlighting incumbents Gabe Evans and Jeff Hurd—and warning how fringe challengers can jeopardize winnable seats. The hour crescendos with a blunt assessment of Joe Altman's newly announced gubernatorial run, exploring how extreme rhetoric and unchecked behavior can turn a difficult race into a political disaster. The message is clear: in a purple state, credibility, discipline, and strategy matter—or the consequences will be severe.

In this installment of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America work through Chapter 4 of Stolen Elections, focusing on the figure of Frank Holder and the web of intelligence, finance, and consulting firms described in the book. The discussion follows the chapter's progression, examining Holder's background, his ties to U.S. intelligence, Latin American operations, and his role within major due diligence and risk mitigation firms operating across governments, banks, and corporations. CannCon and Ashe unpack claims involving CIA assets, double and triple agent narratives, money laundering allegations, and the use of consulting firms as gatekeepers of public trust. The chapter also explores connections to Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, and broader intelligence operations, raising questions about elections, corruption, and institutional accountability. Throughout the episode, the hosts critically analyze the book's framing, highlight contradictions within the narrative, and emphasize how Chapter 4 fits into the larger thesis presented in Stolen Elections.

As the TribCast team takes a holiday break, we bring you this recording from The Texas Tribune Festival of interviews with three Republican candidates for statewide office.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 44: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Why isn’t Trump bombing RUSSIAN terrorist scum who have been targeting and viciously killing innocent Christians in UKRAINE? I mean now that our White Supremacist Theocratic Bandit government has gone into the Crusades business; now that per Trump we’re bombing to kill ISIS terrorist scum “who have been targeting and viciously killing...innocent Christians” in NIGERIA, shouldn't yesterday's meeting with Zelensky have been about how Trump is going to protect the Christians in Ukraine - and Ukraine is an 85% Christian country - by bombing the Russian terrorist scum who have been targeting and viciously killing innocent Christians IN Ukraine? I'm not holding my breath. But since it's obvious that yesterday all Trump did was stall, just as all he's been doing since he again seized power is stalling on Putin's behalf (he even took a call from Putin 72 minutes before the Zelensky meeting began), isn't this tack supporters of Ukraine and Europe and world freedom who aren't morons like Trump or Rubio who think 'it's not our war because OCEANS' (a logical argument as long as this is the year 1909) should now take? ALSO: THE TRUMP PARDON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX? It seems brand new. In fact there was a lawsuit alleging Rudy Giuliani told his girlfriend he and Trump were selling pardons for $2,000,000 apiece as long ago as 2019. And we check in MAGA stupidity, how even Brian Krassenstein trolled them, and why on earth Stephen Miller would think the term "sexual matador" is a compliment given how much he hates Mexicans and Spanish-speaking people like, you know, Matadors. B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Somebody actually tries to insult the Pope by calling him "Holier Than Thou"; WSJ has a piece blasting Jack Smith written by the first lawyer Trump hired to defend himself against Jack Smith, the ironically named "James Trusty"; Trump is finally hoisted on his lawsuit petard. If we damaged you financially or emotionally, says the Pulitzer Prize Board, we're going to know by how much so we'll need all your fiancial and emotional health records. C-Block (46:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: What did you get for Christmas? I got a Baseball Cap! From Ted Turner! Of course, this is Christmas 1982 I'm talking about. The saga of Ted, my first tv job, and what might have been my last tv job after he and I argued in public. But it ended happily - with baseball caps for Christmas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Voting has begun in the opening phase of Myanmar's heavily restricted general election, the first since the military seized power nearly five years ago in a coup, an act that sparked civil war. The first round of voting takes place in around a quarter of the country; two more rounds are due to take place next month. Also: we look at how deportation fears in the US are driving money transfers to Honduras. A Siberian tiger gives birth to a record five cubs, it's China's first documented case of a tiger having quintuplets in the wild. Research suggests that a mysterious force called Dark Energy - which drives the expansion of the Universe - might be changing, in a way that challenges our current understanding of time and space. And Aryna Sabalenka takes on Nick Kyrgios in what's been dubbed the 'Battle of the Sexes' tennis match. We look at why it's polarising opinion.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens. Listen for the latest headlines and current affairs from around the world.
