Podcast appearances and mentions of eugene daniels

President Donald Trump hosted a military parade on the Army's 250th anniversary, which happened to coincide with Trump's birthday, as massive crowds took to the streets to march against the Trump administration and to declare that America is no place for kings. The dramatic day also included a deadly shooting that claimed the life of a Minnesota state lawmaker and seriously injured another. Law enforcement called the shootings politically motivated. Reuters White House Correspondent Jeff Mason,  Retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Steve Anderson, Retired FBI agent Rob D'Amico, former CIA director John Brennan and former U.S. Attorney in Michigan, Barbara McQuade join The Weekend to discuss the dramatic events of the last 24 hours.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Professor of History at New York University, joins The Weekend to discuss how similar actions played out in autocratic regimes throughout history.

President Donald Trump ordered 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles after clashes between protestors and immigration agents. California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the move saying "it will only escalate tensions. Max Boot and Anthony Coley join The Weekend to discuss the protests and the administration's response. 

Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's relationship implodes publicly online in a very personal way. At the center of their dispute is President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," which Musk said was a "disgusting abomination."

SEASON 3 EPISODE 130: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) BREAKING NEWS: A Reagan judge, an Obama judge, and a Trump judge walk into a courtroom and rule Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs - which not only crashed our economy but that of the entire world's - are not a legal use of the 1977 laws empowering him to take actions in the event of an economic emergency. This is not just any court. It's the United States Court of International Trade. Trump already appealed. Stephen Miller already called it a "judicial coup." The fact that America's corporations simply went along with Trump's crap when it knew - as the court knew - this was executive overreach - is its own problem. The halt on the tariffs will itself probably be halted by the appeals. So the re-shaping of the market will be re-re-shaped by the judges, and re-re-re-shaped by the further litigation. That, of course, is not Trump's problem. His only job is to break stuff. SPECIAL COMMENT: Now it's Governor Gretchen Whitmer has learned the lesson - twice. Never appease Trump, never negotiate with Trump, never cooperate with Trump, never support anything Trump wants, never do anything Trump wants. All that registers with him is: you are easier for him to destroy. She sucked up to him. She worked with him. He tricked her into appearing at his photo-op. She hid her face behind a folder like it was a perp walk. Now, he says he's looking into PARDONING THE TERRORISTS CONVICTED OF TRYING TO KIDNAP HER. There is only one way Gretchen Whitmer is going to SURVIVE Trump, Governor. Apple is going to SURVIVE Trump, Tim Cook. There is only one way Columbia is going to SURVIVE Trump, Claire Shipman. There is only one way the White House Correspondents are going to SURVIVE Trump, Eugene Daniels. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’ll spell it out. Doing what he wants only tells him you will DO WHAT HE WANTS. So he comes back and gives you ANOTHER list of what he wants. He’s a blackmailer. He’s a crooked businessman. He’s a bully. There is only one way to SURVIVE Trump and that is to DESTROY Trump. In a world of White House Correspondents, be the PENTAGON Correspondents. In a world of Apples, be Wal-Mart. In a world of Columbias, be a Harvard. Put your hands on Trump’s shoulders and knee him in the groin. Stand up to him and you can then own HIM, like the Harvard newspaper op-ed writer who has proposed settling the disputes between her school and Trump by challenging Secretary of "Education" Linda McMahon, the wife of the wrestling slime bag, to a Steel Cage Match. ALSO: TRUMP CONFESSES to operating on Russia's behalf and to protecting Putin. HE LEARNS for the first time of the Wall Street analysts mocking him with the tariff acronym "TACO" ("Trump Always Chickens Out") and he chickens out. Turns out Tom Homan also worked for the top Private Prison company. A woman who contributed a million to Trump gets a pardon for her jailbird son. Anybody remember Rudy Giuliani's alleged boast he could sell you a pardon for two million, to be split between him and Trump. And a past president's grandson has died. The president he was the grandson of, left office in... 1845. B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Kristi Noem and the camel she rode in on. Jesse Watters and Rep. Tim Burchett try to make fun of men using straws not remembering there's a photo of Trump at Yankee Stadium using a straw. And boy did THIS sound familiar: Rupert Murdoch just buried a New York Post reporter who followed all the rules and instructions Murdoch's minions had laid out for him, because somebody didn't like the story... Just like in 2001 Rupert personally fired ME for doing exactly the same thing (C-Block 43:00 THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL). The punchline is the reporter's name is Josh Kosman and last September he was the guy at The Post who called and told me they were about to update the RFK Jr/Olivia Nuzzi sexting story by claiming I had lived with Olivia. So I busted his scoop and put the story out immediately. Now we're in the Rupert Isn't A Journalist Club. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well if there is one thing we learned from Jeffrey Goldberg's sensationalized story in The Atlantic is that this trump team is unified and working as a team. How Goldberg got into the chat is still tbd, but let's be honest fist emojis and calling out Europe for not pulling its weight is not top secret as Goldberg implied. As most liberal hacks, it's just another attempt to show a chink in the armor of Trump or his cabinet members. There are no better guests to give us a deep dive on liberal media hacks than Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook from the Ruthless Variety Progrum. It was John Ashbrook that represented Ruthless in the White House's new media seat as the eye rolls from state run media outlets dashed across the room. Ashbrook poignantly asked about how the media was missing the mark when it came to the border. President Trump is the most colorful president of our generation and deserves color commentary from the Ruthless team or other innovative media outlets than the likes of SV Dáte or the press pool team that has been traveling with the president. Duncan and Ashbrook unpack the brackets for this year's Hack Madness. It's much like the NCAA March Madness but gives Liberal Media Hacks a chance to really shine and make a run for biggest hack of the year. The season is not over yet and with categories like fake news, the establishment, liberal activist and way-too-online, the Liberal Hack Champion has yet to be crowned. The guys walk us through some of the lesser known contenders as they go up against top seeds like Margaret Brennan and Eugene Daniels.

The Trump administration's standoff with the judicial branch raises new fears of a possible constitutional crisis, as the president moves to shut down the Department of Education. Join moderator Jeffrey Goldberg, Eugene Daniels of MSNBC, David Ignatius of The Washington Post, Michael Scherer of The Atlantic and Nancy Youssef of The Wall Street Journal to discuss this and more.

Who needs education anyway? That seems to be the question Trump is posing as he took his Sharpie and signed yet another executive order, working to dismantle the Education Department. Eugene Daniels and Tara Setmayer discuss. Plus, Elon Musk expands his influence, heading to the Pentagon with a mysterious itinerary. Congressman Gregory Meeks weighs in.

NBC News National Political Correspondent Steve Kornacki shares numbers from the latest NBC News poll. Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent discusses Americans' recession fears as President Donald Trump escalates trade wars. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) weighs in on the Democratic Party's divide over Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's handling of the funding fight. Cornell Belcher, Eugene Daniels, Sara Fagen and Anna Palmer join the Meet the Press roundtable.

President Trump's erratic approach to running the country may need finessing, as evidenced this week by the trade war he started, and just as abruptly ended, and by a confrontation with his Cabinet and Elon Musk. Join guest moderator Franklin Foer, Dan Balz of The Washington Post, Eugene Daniels of MSNBC, Michelle Price of the Associated Press and Kayla Tausche of CNN to discuss this and more.

It's the worst-kept secret in Washington: Being in Congress isn't as glamorous as it seems from the outside. But what is life really like on Capitol Hill? What do members privately think about their colleagues? How do they know it's time to hang up their spurs? And what are the things the rest of us really don't get about the pressures they face? POLITICO's Ben Jacobs asked them. And he joins chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels talk about what he heard. Plus, President Donald Trump puts a muzzle on DOGE, and our Eugene bids farewell to our listeners after four years at Playbook.

President Donald Trump's tariff regime is blooming before our eyes. That may delight his MAGA base, but it's causing agita in the broader electorate, as Americans face the near inevitability of higher prices for the foreseeable future and businesses struggle to keep up with the head-spinning turn of events. Is there a point at which the political reality will overwhelm Trump's tariff ambitions and cause him to at least reconsider the path he's chosen? White House reporter Megan Messerly joins chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels to talk through the possibilities.

In his joint address to Congress last night, President Donald Trump gave a red-meat speech that lauded his culture war victories, denigrated his political opponents, and, oh yeah, ran until 11pm. But for all the noise in the speech, many of the headlines this morning are about Democrats, who responded to the aggressive and partisan speech in kind. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was dramatically ejected from the chamber for shouting that Trump had “no mandate,” and Democrats slowly but steadily walked out of the speech, leaving their side looking threadbare. Playbook managing editor and author Jack Blanchard breaks it all down with chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels and Capitol bureau chief and senior Washington columnist Rachael Bade.

Now, with a deal for rare and precious minerals on the table, can the two make nice — even temporarily? POLITICO national security reporter Eric Bazail-Eimil joins chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels to discuss.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 103: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: There is an alternate, rogue religious theory about an afterlife. It goes like this: "Hell" is not some place deep in the earth or anywhere else with eternal torture and fire. In fact, what we call "life" - THIS is hell. There is considerable new evidence this week that this theory is probably correct. The Washington Post had already been proving that its slogan "Democracy Dies In Darkness" was not a warning but Jeff Bezos's game plan. Now he's made it official: Op-eds are out; pro-Trump "liberties" and "free markets" are in. Other opinions need not apply. Bezos is a fascist. And he's only the third of three media disasters this week. To my surprise, Rachel Maddow DID say something about the Racist Purge at her MSNBC. Unfortunately, it wasn't the truth. She gave out the corporate cover story that Joy Reid "left" and "went out the door" and and and... she was FIRED. I guess I should've known. Rachel also didn't tell the truth when I left. I had kept her in my confidence as I negotiated my exit in 2010 and 2011 and the night it happened she was on Maher's show and though she knew everything, when he asked her about the breaking news - a few hours after my last email to her suggesting "this is it" she answered "This is the first I’m hearing about any of this. I know nothing about it.” And Trump's response to MSNBC throwing Reid into the volcano as a human sacrifice? He's threatening to sue them all anyway. And change the laws. And then there's the White House Correspondents Association. It did nothing about Trump trying to rewrite the Associated Press's stories. So now he's told them they will no longer select the pool reporter. But don't worry, the WHCA's cowardice won't go unpunished. Its president will be one of the new MSNBC hosts who can get sacrificed in the Trump Bottomless Bit later. B-Block (35:38) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Welcome to political scrutiny, Stephen A. Smith. Musk loves Trump - now. 2020? Called him an effing idiot. And this is how bad it is: Trump put one of my exes on the Kennedy Center board. C-Block (44:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: She's in the news and we need the laugh, so once again, the saga of my two dates with Laura Ingraham, one of the last times I thought "this might be the night I die."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is in Washington today to meet with President Donald Trump. On the surface, the two leaders couldn't be more different. But as Playbook author Jack Blanchard tells chief correspondent Eugene Daniels, the Trump-Starmer relationship is, indeed, special. They dig into what's on the agenda today and what deliverables Starmer wants to leave with.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks about Stephen A. Smith's disastrous interview with Democratic Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, who proved that the Democratic Party has learned nothing about its 2024 loss, as he doubled down on failed talking points; Rep. Jasmine Crockett's NSFW response to Elon Musk; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announcing that Eugene Daniels and the White House Correspondents' Association will no longer control which media outlets are allowed to participate in the White House press briefing; Brian Stelter telling "PBS NewsHour" why the move threatens press freedoms, while forgetting that he advocated for the removal of Fox News from White House press briefings a few years ago; Kash Patel launching an investigation into former FBI director James Comey's plot to use "honeypot" female agents to entrap Donald Trump; Tulsi Gabbard telling Fox News' Jesse Watters what was really happening in the explicit NSA chatrooms; Scott Jennings telling CNN's Abby Phillip why Trump's unconventional way of bringing an end to the Ukraine War may surprise even his critics; Donald Trump's announcing a new gold card for wealthy immigrants willing to spend $5 million to become citizens; Kathleen Kennedy retiring from Disney's Lucasfilm after destroying the Star Wars franchise, and much more.

A month after the Luka Dončić trade, the Dallas Mavericks traveled to Los Angeles to face off against the Lakers. Jason and Steve Kim point out that despite the Lakers' 107-99 victory, the Mavericks showed signs of dominance — even with Anthony Davis still recovering from injury. During the game, many Lakers fans started a “Thank you, Nico” chant, referring to the Dallas Mavericks' general manager, who is widely blamed for greenlighting the Doncic trade. But should he really take the fall? In other news, President Trump has extended an invitation to the Philadelphia Eagles to visit the White House. WNBA star and surefire Hall of Famer Diana Taurasi has officially retired from basketball. But if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make a sound? Meanwhile, sports gambling has spiraled out of control, and NIL has created a breeding ground for widespread corruption. Yet the media refuse to address it — because they're in bed with the sharks. On the non-sports side, Zaya Wade, the transgender son of NBA legend Dwyane Wade, graces the cover of Seventeen magazine. Joy Reid has been fired from MSNBC, and the network doubled down on DEI-driven minority hires with the likes of Eugene Daniels and Symone Sanders. Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett's profanity-laced tirade and Stephen A. Smith's latest desperate grab for relevance wrap up the show. Lastly, Shemeka Michelle joins us to share her take on today's cultural topics.

President Donald Trump's election helped turbocharge an already surging bull market in the U.S., sending stocks and cryptocurrencies to even higher records. But, some on Wall Street are sounding the alarm that the fast times can't last. POLITICO capital markets reporter Declan Harty joins chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels to explain what potential market turbulence could mean for Trump 2.0. Plus, the three-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and all the rest of the news you need to know today.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has an independent streak and a big job leading the National Governors Association. Here's what he's telling fellow governors about when to work with Trump and when to oppose him, how he thinks that Trump is hurting himself, and what the first thing Elon Musk and DOGE should cut is.  Eugene Daniels is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO.

Day in and day out, the most consequential stories in Washington right now seem to include two key players. One is obvious: President Donald Trump. The other is Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest man and Trump's largest political benefactor. As their partnership remaps power in Washington, journalists on the frontlines scurry to crack the biggest story in the nation's capital — and figure out what we perhaps misunderstand about the dynamics driving both Trump and Musk. National politics correspondent Adam Wren talks it through with chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels. Plus, despite a curveball from Trump, the Senate's vote-a-rama is still on … for now.

President Trump indicates his loyalty to Elon Musk by firing as much of the federal workforce as he can, and his administration's statements about Ukraine show how Trump views the war and Russia. Join moderator Jeffrey Goldberg, Eugene Daniels of Politico, Stephen Hayes of The Dispatch, Theodore Schleifer of The New York Times and Nancy Youssef of The Wall Street Journal to discuss this and more.

Where is the Democratic “resistance” for Trump's second term? Chief Playbook Correspondent Eugene Daniels asks Rep. Jamie Raskin, a longtime nemesis of President Trump's and the current House Judiciary Committee ranking member, why the Democrats have been slow to counter the president's aggressive governing, and what the plan is going forward to rebuild the party and its message. Eugene Daniels is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Rep. Jamie Raskin is the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.  Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.

Elon Musk is carrying out his plan to purge thousands of employees from the federal government, even as President Trump identifies new assignments for federal officials, including occupying and rebuilding the Gaza Strip. Join moderator Jeffrey Goldberg, Michael Scherer and Anne Applebaum of The Atlantic, Eugene Daniels of Politico and Asma Khalid of NPR to discuss this and more.

Donald Trump is President of the United States. Again. His inaugural address Tuesday wasn't quite as dark as the ‘American carnage' speech he gave eight years ago. This time around, Trump promised the beginning of a “golden age of America” before reading off a laundry list of policies he plans to pursue during his presidency that will, almost certainly, not usher in a golden age. Standing behind Trump were some of the richest men in the world: Tech CEOs Sundar Pichai of Google, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, and X's Elon Musk. Longtime D.C. reporter and friend of the pod Todd Zwillich helps us break down Trump's inauguration speech. Later in the show, Eugene Daniels, White House correspondent for Politico, walks us through the many executive orders Trump signed Tuesday.And in headlines: Joe Biden spent his final hours as president issuing a bunch of preemptive pardons for members of his family and Trump's political enemies, Vivek Ramaswamy may leave DOGE, and China said it's open to selling TikTok.Show Notes:Check out Eugene's work – politico.com/staff/eugene-danielsSupport victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
