Podcast appearances and mentions of Joe Biden

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, John Bolton has been indicted on 18 counts by a federal grand jury in Maryland for mishandling classified information, including 8 counts of transmission and 10 counts of retention of national defense information. But this indictment is not retribution but a serious breach by someone who knew better, despite the Biden administration previously dropping a related investigation. Also, Rep Elise Stefanik responded to a NY Times reporter's inquiry about her labeling Zohran Mamdani a jihadist.  She responded in the best way possible – “I call Zohran Mamdani a jihadist because he is. Zohran Mamdani is a raging antisemite.” NY Times wants to give Mamdani cover, just like they did with the Holocaust.  Later, there's a Wall Street Journal article portraying the Trump administration's IRS overhaul—installing allies in the criminal division and reducing lawyer involvement—as a means to politically probe left-leaning groups. It's necessary to investigate George Soros-funded organizations tied to terrorism, Marxism, and efforts to overthrow the U.S. and other nations. This move address serious threats beyond politics, and it's a good thing that the Treasury Secretary is pursuing it. Afterward, Democrat-led cities and states are defying federal immigration laws by declaring themselves sanctuaries. President Trump is going to have to invoke the Insurrection Act—used 28 times historically, such as by Eisenhower against segregationists—to counter resistance from governors and mayors who block ICE and incite violence.

Every Israeli-Palestinian peace deal has failed. Could Trump's be any different?On Oct. 10, the Israeli cabinet approved a cease-fire deal brokered by the Trump administration, Turkey and Qatar. Since then, the living Israeli hostages have come home. Nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israel have been freed. Israeli forces have partially withdrawn from the Gaza Strip, and they're allowing in more desperately needed aid. This is finally, hopefully, the end of this war.But that was just the first part of the deal. The next phase is a lot more ambitious — and ambiguous. And while President Trump said the region would now “live, God willing, in peace for all eternity,” history would suggest otherwise.Robert Malley has worked on Middle East policy under President Barack Obama, President Joe Biden and President Bill Clinton. Hussein Agha negotiated on the Palestinian side, working under both Yasir Arafat, the first president of the Palestinian Authority, and the P.A.'s current president, Mahmoud Abbas. Together they wrote a sweeping new history of attempts at peace, “Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine.” They join me to examine what could go right — or wrong — as the rest of the deal takes shape.Mentioned:Tomorrow Is Yesterday by Hussein Agha and Robert MalleyBook Recommendations:One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El AkkadSay Nothing by Patrick Radden KeefeDirty Hands by Jean-Paul SartreThe Just Assassins by Albert CamusThe History of the Peloponnesian War by ThucydidesThe Man Without Qualities by Robert MusilHollywood Babylon by Kenneth AngerThoughts?

Nationwide, state and local officials are pushing back against President Trump's plans to send the National Guard into various Democratic-run cities for crime and immigration enforcement support. One of the top Democrats leading the resistance is Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.  Trump has recently said that he believes Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson should be arrested for what he believes is mismanagement of the Windy City. “Should we have a president who is threatening to jail his political opponents with no evidence of any wrongdoing, just that we oppose what he's trying to do to our country, which is to militarize our cities and turn us into an authoritarian regime?” Pritzker says. “I don't think that any American thinks that we ought to be jailing people just for their views.” In this week's episode of The Conversation, Pritzker joins POLITICO's Dasha Burns to denounce the Trump administration's immigration enforcement strategy, combat the administration's narratives surrounding cities like Chicago, and discuss the future of the Democratic Party. Plus, Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich comes on to talk about the difference between covering the Trump and Biden administrations, her role on the White House Correspondents Association board and the Pentagon's attempts to impose new restrictions on reporters there.

Trump is once again talking about Vladimir Putin — this time setting up a meeting in Budapest to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. That's according to Trump himself, who said the two agreed on a phone call to meet, and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other U.S. officials would begin prep meetings with their Russian counterparts. No date has been set, but Trump described the call as productive.He also mentioned they'd loop in Zelensky during his upcoming White House visit, which adds another layer of complexity. Earlier in the week, Trump floated sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine as leverage. Whether that was serious or just bluster is up for debate, but the message was clear — he's still playing both sides. One thing he did emphasize on Truth Social was how eager Putin seemed to be about post-war trade. According to Trump, that was the real focus — not the war itself, but what comes next.This is the kind of move that makes sense if you assume Putin is trying to preempt whatever message Zelensky hopes to deliver later this week. It's also a reminder that Trump sees all of this through the lens of dealmaking, not diplomacy. He's playing to his base — the voters who see “getting a deal” as a win, regardless of what's actually in it. But as past attempts have shown, any momentum gained by just talking with Putin tends to evaporate as soon as the bombs keep falling.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

He didn't lay out specifics, but the implication was that things like furloughs or aggressive reduction-in-force orders could be reconsidered. Thune said passing a full-year appropriations package would make more clawbacks unnecessary — but until then, it's unclear what Democrats would get in return.The rumor mill is working overtime — and the story making the rounds is that Democrats will vote for the CR, then hold a vote on Obamacare subsidies separately. Chuck Schumer says that's not the plan, but let's be real: it sounds like a deal in the making. Everyone knows the play here. The question is how quickly the Democrats can make it look like they won.At the end of the day, this is all about messaging. Democrats want to go back to their base and say they got something out of this. And if a CR plus a later vote on subsidies is the path to that — well, they'll probably take it. Everything else is just noise.John Bolton IndictedJohn Bolton's been indicted. Eight counts of transmitting and ten counts of retaining national defense information. This case centers around his handling of classified documents tied to his book, which he apparently shared through personal email and notes. The FBI raided his home, and now it's up to the courts.The Biden administration says politics aren't involved, but Bolton's been a vocal Trump critic, which puts this in awkward territory. It comes on the heels of indictments for James Comey and Letitia James — all of them known Trump opponents. In those cases, the Comey case seems flimsy, while the one against Letitia James has more substance. Meanwhile, the Bolton charges had been floating around since before Trump left office in 2021.Here's where I land: this whole mess reflects the same double standard we've seen for years. People working with classified material always say the same thing — if they did what these folks are accused of, they'd be in jail. There has to be a better way to handle these documents. Until then, we'll keep getting stories like this.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:04 - Interview with Tom Joseph00:22:23 - Russia-Ukraine00:24:43 - Shutdown00:26:21 - John Bolton00:28:26 - Interview with Ryan McBeth01:13:29 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

A seismic shake-up hits Washington as longtime deep-state insiders finally face the music. Tara breaks down the stunning charges against John Bolton — and what this means for the unspoken “currency of power” inside D.C. From Hillary's server to Biden's classified chaos, this episode exposes how the political elite have trafficked in secrets for profit and protection. The two-tier justice system may finally be cracking… and the deep state's morning just got very bad.

It's a Friday double feature — part rock tribute, part political reckoning. Tara opens with heartfelt memories of Ace Frehley, the legendary KISS guitarist whose sound defined a generation, before diving headlong into the explosive John Bolton indictment shaking Washington. She exposes how “deep state oligarchs” — from Comey to Clinton to Biden — have trafficked in classified data for power, profit, and political control. From rock gods to government elites, Tara reveals what happens when once-untouchable icons finally face judgment. When the powerful play with secrets and the music stops — truth takes the stage.

Tara exposes the rising threats to American sovereignty, free speech, and security, from UN taxation schemes and global carbon taxes to European digital censorship laws targeting U.S. websites. She connects these developments to deep state power plays, including the John Bolton indictment and systemic misuse of classified data by elites. The episode examines NATO's unchecked military actions, the exploitation of U.S. equipment, and the obstruction of peace negotiations with Russia. Tara warns that losing the presidency again could mean permanent erosion of Americans' constitutional rights, highlighting how foreign bureaucracies, oligarchs, and political insiders manipulate law and media to consolidate control. Tagline: Global elites, NATO, and the deep state are reshaping freedom—here's what they don't want you to know. Custom Labels: Trump, Bolton, John Bolton, deep state, UN, United Nations, Biden, Harris, NATO, EU, Europe, censorship, 4chan, online safety act, digital ID, classified data, free speech, international taxation, shipping tax, global governance, Iran, Ukraine, Putin, Zelenskyy, pipelines, military, oligarchs, EU regulations, media bias, civil liberties, constitutional rights, America

Tara dives into a whirlwind of political intrigue, exposing the stark double standards in America's justice system. From John Bolton's 18-count indictment for mishandling classified data to the selective enforcement of law for illegal immigrants and deep-state insiders, she dissects how elites operate above the rules. Along the way, she covers the U.S.'s record September budget surplus, tariffs, and the historical intent of the Founders for a small federal government. Finally, she examines Trump's controversial handling of Hamas prisoners and hostages, exposing media blind spots and geopolitical risks — all while questioning who truly controls the levers of power in Washington.

It can't be stressed enough how President Trump is redefining politics.Democrats are powerless to respond. Their lies are revealed with each tactic they use.The evil underbelly of Leftism is now like watching a fashion show, their destruction so obvious.I love that President Trump is so open about his feelings. He trashes Obama at world events, and the same with Biden.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this special episode of the podcast, Amanda Head and her TV news co-host John Solomon broadcast a conversation from the White House with FBI Director Kash Patel.Patel details the FBI's sweeping national crackdown, Operation Summer Heat, which led to over 28,000 arrests of violent offenders — a major increase from last year under the Biden administration. The new director credits his Deputy Dan Bongino for spearheading the strategy that targeted gang networks, child exploitation rings, and the spread of fentanyl.Head and Solomon's conversation also delves into the Bureau's efforts on counterintelligence, the emerging threat of ANTIFA, and Patel's renewed emphasis on transparency and accountability within the FBI.You can tune into Amanda and John's TV news show, “Just The News, No Noise” every weekday evening at 6PM ET on the Real America's Voice Network.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

While Peter Thiel obsesses over the Anti-Christ, his company Palantir has been busy building America's Orwellian Big Brother, which began under Trump's first term and was allowed to continue under Biden. Under Trump's second term, Thiel's Palantir has rapidly expanded into nearly every corner of the U.S. government. A recent New York Times investigation detailed how Palantir's data-mining empire powers law enforcement and intelligence agencies to track, profile, and monitor not just criminal networks, but potentially spy on American citizens. Thiel likes to posture as a radical outsider, but through Palantir he's shaping the machinery of the state to establish a tech-backed dictatorship. In Part Two of our conversation with journalist Gil Duran, of the essential Nerd Reich newsletter, we dig into the tech coup, what it means for democracy, and why it matters that a billionaire obsessed with the apocalypse is also building the digital panopticon. We also discuss what happens when Trump dies and MAGA faces a Game of Thrones succession battle? Why don't we have a strong opposition? How do we build one? How do we create real solidarity instead of the weak attempts by some Democratic leaders to “negotiate” with fascists? (There's no negotiating with fascists.)  How do we establish our own fifty year plan to rebuild democracy?  Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?

HEADLINE: Obamacare Subsidies Trigger Government Shutdown Debate GUEST NAME: Michael Toth SUMMARY: Michael Toth explains that the current government shutdown debate centers on extending two expensive Biden-era Obamacare subsidies. These changes allow individuals earning over 400% of the federal poverty line to receive subsidies and provide 100% coverage for the near-poor. The original Obamacare cross-subsidy structure failed because young, healthy individuals found premiums too high. Toth advocates deregulation, such as allowing insurance companies to charge lower, risk-adjusted rates and enabling single business owners to use Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) for cheaper coverage. 1902

The released prisoners, including potential Hamas leaders, raise concerns about where the organization's center of gravity will shift if they are deported to places like Turkey or Qatar. Schanzer views Turkey, an autocratic supporter of Hamas, as a problematic guarantor of the ceasefire. Internationally, Iran continues its nuclear program despite snapback sanctions, and al-Sharaa is meeting with Putin regarding Russian assets in Syria. 945-1000 HEADLINE: Hamas, Hostages, and Middle East Turmoil: Challenges to the Trump Ceasefire Plan GUEST NAME:Jonathan Schanzer SUMMARY: Jonathan Schanzer discusses complications in the Trump ceasefire plan, including Hamas delaying the return of deceased hostages to maintain leverage.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: China's Predicament in the Middle East and Domestic Economic Instability GUEST NAME: General Blaine Holt SUMMARY: General Blaine Holt analyzes China's strategic challenges, noting Beijing is concerned about losing access to critical oil and gas resources as US leadership advances the Abraham Accords. China's previous regional deals, like the Saudi-Iran agreement, lacked substance compared to US business commitments. Holt suggests internal pressures might lead Iran toward the Accords. Domestically, China faces accelerating deflation and uncertainty regarding Xi Jinping's leadership due to four competing factions before the fourth plenum. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: South Korea's Descent into Authoritarianism and Persecution of Opposition GUEST NAME: Morse Tan SUMMARY: Morse Tan argues that South Korea is moving toward a "rising communist dictatorship" that oppresses political and religious figures. The indictment of the Unification Church leader and the targeting of the rightful President Yoon exemplify this trend. This persecution serves as an intimidation campaign, demonstrating the regime's disregard for the populace. Tan recommends the US implement active measures, including sanctions relating to a coup d'état and visa sanctions, while also pressing for greater military cooperation. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: Russian War Economy Stalls as Oil Prices Decline and Sanctions Bite GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: Michael Bernstam reports that the Russian economy is struggling as global oil prices decline and sanctions increase transportation costs, leading to a $13 to $14 per barrel discount on Russian oil. The "military Keynesianism" economy is exhausted, resulting in staff cuts across industrial sectors. Forecasts indicate contraction in late 2025 and 2026, with the IMF lowering its growth projection for 2025 to 0.6%. Russia is avoiding sanctions by routing payments through neighbors like Kyrgyzstan, who have become major financial hubs. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: Lessons from the Swiss National Bank: Risk-Taking, Exchange Rates, and Fiscal Responsibility GUEST NAME: John Cochrane SUMMARY: Economist John Cochrane analyzes the Swiss National Bank (SNB), noting it differs greatly from the US Federal Reserve by investing heavily in foreign stocks and bonds to manage the Swiss franc's exchange rate. The SNB's massive balance sheet carries risks accepted by Swiss taxpayers and the Cantons. Switzerland, being fiscally responsible (running no budget deficits), finds central banking easier. Cochrane advises that the US Fed should not be buying stocks or venturing into fiscal policy. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: China Retaliates Against Dutch Chipmaker Seizure Amid European Fragmentation GUEST NAME:Theresa Fallon SUMMARY: Theresa Fallon discusses China imposing export controls on Nexperia after the Dutch government seized control of the chipmaker, which was owned by China's Wingtech. The Dutch acted due to fears the Chinese owner would strip the technology and equipment, despite Nexperia producing low-quality chips for cars. Fallon notes Europe needs a better chip policy but struggles to speak with one voice, as fragmented policy allows China to drive wedges and weaken the EU. 1115-1130 HEADLINE: China's Economic Slowdown, Deflation, and the Spectre of Japanification GUEST NAME: Andrew Collier SUMMARY: Andrew Collier discusses China's economic woes, characterized by persistent deflation, with the CPI down 0.3% (6 out of 9 months in the red) and the PPI down for 36 straight months. This environment raises concerns about "Japanification"—a multi-decade slowdown after a property crash. Major structural changes to stimulate consumer consumption are unlikely at the upcoming Communist Party plenum, as the system favors state investment. The property market collapse means foreign investment is leaving, and Collier suggests the economy may not bottom until 2027 or 2028. 1130-1145 HEADLINE: SpaceX Starship Success, Private Space Dominance, and Government Inaction GUEST NAME: Bob Zimmerman SUMMARY: Bob Zimmerman describes SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy 11th test flight as "remarkable," highlighting successful booster reuse and controlled re-entry despite missing tiles. He asserts that private enterprise, like SpaceX, runs the "real American space program" aimed at Mars colonization, outpacing government efforts. In contrast, European projects like Callisto, proposed in 2015, demonstrate government "inaction." JPL is also laying off staff following the cancellation of the Mars sample return project, forcing organizations like Lowell Observatory to seek private funding. 1145-1200 HEADLINE: SpaceX Starship Success, Private Space Dominance, and Government Inaction GUEST NAME: Bob Zimmerman SUMMARY: Bob Zimmerman describes SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy 11th test flight as "remarkable," highlighting successful booster reuse and controlled re-entry despite missing tiles.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: Commodity Market Trends and UK's Lack of Risk Appetite for AI Innovation GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: Simon Constable notes that data center expansion for AI is increasing prices for copper (up 15%) and steel (up 14%). He points out that the UK lags significantly behind the US in building new AI data centers (170 vs. 5,000+) due to a lack of risk appetite, insufficient wealth, and poor marketing of new ideas. Separately, Constable discusses the collapse of a UK China spying trial because the prior government failed to officially classify China as a national security threat during the alleged offenses. 1215-1230 HEADLINE: Commodity Market Trends and UK's Lack of Risk Appetite for AI Innovation GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: Simon Constable notes that data center expansion for AI is increasing prices for copper (up 15%) and steel (up 14%).

He notes that bills like California's AB 1047, which demands factual accuracy, fundamentally misunderstand AI's generative nature. Imposing vague standards, as seen in New York's RAISE Act, risks chilling innovation and preventing widespread benefits, like affordable legal or therapy tools. Frazier emphasizes that AI policy should be grounded in empirical data rather than speculative fears. 1245-100 AM HEADLINE: AI Regulation Debate: Premature Laws vs. Emerging Norms GUEST NAME: Kevin Frazier SUMMARY: Kevin Frazier critiques the legislative rush to regulate AI, arguing that developing norms might be more effective than premature laws.

Elon Musk publicly calls Judge Kendra Briggs a “RACIST JUDGE” following her controversial verdict in the assault case of DOGE's Edward “Big Balls” Coristine. In the aftermath of the case, numerous critics are blasting the judge's decision to release the juveniles involved. Musk didn't hold back.

Tara unpacks the historic Supreme Court arguments that could finally overturn the unconstitutional Gingles precedent—a decades-old ruling that forced states to draw race-based voting districts favoring Democrats. She explains how the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was twisted beyond recognition, how Biden's DOJ threatened Louisiana to create an extra “Black Democrat district,” and why the left is panicking over the possible loss of up to 25 House seats. With sharp analysis of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's flawed arguments and media spin from outlets like CNN, Tara exposes how the census and redistricting have been manipulated to keep Democrats in power.

New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his new essay collection, Three or More is a Riot: Notes on How We Got Here: 2012-2025. Cobb recalls how he began the project by trying to understand how George Zimmerman's killing of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012 set the tone for the era to come. Cobb considers how history's exceptions skew narratives, so that writers miss the bigger picture. He reflects on how discourse about race shifted between the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations and considers the juxtaposition of Martin's murder with Obama's presidency. Cobb also speaks on the significance of transparency in journalism, calling for reporters to show their work to reinforce public trust. He explains his preference for a lowercase “b” in “black” as a racial term, given that the word is not a proper noun, does not designate a nationality, and that capitalization may perpetuate inaccurate racial ideologies. Cobb reads from Three or More Is a Riot. To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Last week, President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hamas had reached a ceasefire deal. A series of momentous events followed the announcement: First, Israel halted its military assault on Gaza—widely considered by international legal experts to be a genocide. Then, 20 Israeli captives who had been held by Hamas for two years were returned to Israel, while Israeli authorities released around 2,000 Palestinians from prison, 1,700 of whom had been detained without charge or trial. The events led Trump to declare that the “war is over.” But Israeli troops are still stationed deep in Gaza, controlling over half of the enclave, and many questions remain about the future of Gaza.In this episode, senior reporter Alex Kane talks to Middle East experts Khaled Elgindy and Daniel Levy about the ceasefire. They discuss why Trump forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to the ceasefire, why former President Biden failed to stop Israel's bombardment, whether Hamas will disarm, and how the deal impacts efforts to hold Israeli officials accountable for genocide.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Articles Mentioned and Further Reading“How Fury Over Israel's Qatar Attack Pushed Netanyahu on Gaza,” Mark Mazzetti, Adam Rasgon, Katie Rogers and Luke Broadwater, The New York Times“Read Trump's 20-point proposal to end the war in Gaza,” Associated Press“Why Hamas Agreed to Release the Hostages,” Isaac Chotiner, The New Yorker“Arab Mediators Believe Hamas Could Be Open to Partially Disarming,” Adam Rasgon and Ronen Bergman, The New York Times

To listen to the full episode consider becoming a donor to the Munk Debates for as little as $25 annually, or $.50 per episode. Canadian donors receive a charitable tax receipt. Should Donald Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize? Andrew thinks we should wait to see how this ceasefire unfolds before heaping praise on the US President. The current cessation of hostilities has more to do with Netanyahu and Israel's extremely aggressive war policy that has redrawn the map in the Middle East. Does Trump's brand of diplomacy work better in that part of the world? Or did Trump have the benefit of coming after Biden and two years of fighting that exhausted both sides? And finally has the media been fair in their overall coverage of Trump since he started his second term? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew turn to ongoing trade negotiations between the US and Canada, and specifically Trump's hostility towards our auto industry. Is it time to let the sector go instead of pouring millions of dollars of subsidies into propping it up? Do we put tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to protect our industry? And why aren't we supporting industries that are not subsidized and excelling on their own in the new economy? Rudyard and Andrew agree that trade has now become intermingled with climate change and security issues, and we need to take those factors into account as we negotiate new agreements for Canada. This podcast is a project of the Munk Debates, a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to fostering civil and substantive public dialogue.

P&C drink Skipjack Pilsner and then wonder what in the world is going on with all this talk about Trump the dictator. The boys evaluate the liberal narrative that Trump is an authoritarian dictator and find it woefully lacking. The "big one" from the liberal side is January 6 and the claim that the election was stolen. There is some validity to that claim, but it's exaggerated. A lot. The bottom line is that an authoritarian dictator would have behaved very differently. Trump has been accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election, calling the press the “enemy of the people,” and promising “retribution” against his political enemies. But are these actions truly unique? Or are Trump's critics holding him to a double standard?In this episode, we take a deep dive into the “dictator” narrative:Did Trump actually weaponize the Justice Department, or just use it like his predecessors?How do his actions compare to Obama's “Russia hoax” strategy or Biden's push to censor online speech?What defines a real threat to democracy — policy overreach, rhetoric, or selective enforcement of the law?And what would it mean if Trump really does return to power with plans for “retribution”?We explore the accusations, the double standards, and the uncomfortable question: Is Trump a dictator — or just the mirror reflecting our own political hypocrisy?

Kevin covers the following stories: despite the rhetoric last week, New Social Security Cost-Of-Living Adjustment (COLA) release date confirmed amid Government shutdown; the Department of Energy terminated $7.5 Billion in grants for last minute Biden-approved projects; oil and gas prices react to U.S.-China trade tensions; International Energy Agency's prediction of crude oil supply surplus in 2026; a possible meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jingping later this month; comments by Fed-Chair Jerome Powell indicating further rate cuts this year; Kevin has the details, digs into the data, puts the information into historical perspective, offers his insights and a few opinions.

Heroes are in short supply in America at a time when we need them the most. Hollywood can't deliver them anymore, that's for sure. They are too ashamed of themselves and their history to remember how. Heroes seem to be a matter of interpretation, like everything else in our two Americas. But one thing was certain on October 13th: Donald Trump was a hero that day.He was a hero because whatever it is that defines Donald Trump, he was not going to give up on those last remaining hostages. He would bring them home. He found the best people who could get the job done, and with help from leaders all over the world, we watched a miracle.What a difference a president makes. Instead of watching bodies falling off airplanes with 13 soldiers dead in the Afghanistan withdrawal, now we were watching hostages rushing into the waiting arms of their families. We are at war for the narrative of what we all just lived through over the past ten years. It's like that line in the song from Hamilton, “who lives, who dies, who tells your story.” Who will tell it? How will it be written about in history books? If one half of America tells the story of Donald the Terrible and the other tells the story of Donald the Great, who wins? How will it be preserved on Google, YouTube, and AI? Here is what I know for sure. Trump isn't Hitler. He isn't a fascist. He isn't a dictator. Whatever else he is, the Left has been lying about him. They lie in the legacy media. They lie on social media. They lie to themselves. I know because I lied too. I lied because it was socially acceptable, even encouraged. The bigger the lie, the greater the reward.Over the past five years, I learned something about myself I never knew until Trump. I'm someone who cares about the truth, and that became a problem for me if I wanted to stay inside utopia. The more questions I asked, the louder and stronger the attacks against me became. I was to accept the lies or else. It matters how we tell the story of Donald Trump and the political machine that tried and failed to destroy him. That doesn't mean Trump is perfect, or that he doesn't create chaos and push boundaries that can sometimes offend or insult people. However, it does mean telling the truth about him and ensuring his legacy is recorded in history as one of the greatest stories ever told, and the most exciting time any of us will ever live through. Donald The TerribleYou might have had to be like me, someone who has spent 30 years online, to understand how the Left could become so disconnected from reality for so long. They exist inside a perfectly contained bubble that perpetuates confirmation bias through a media/social media feedback loop. Social media, and now AI, are new technologies that we must somehow survive, even though they often deceive us into thinking that what we see and read reflects reality. It doesn't. AI is a reflection of everything that has already been written. We must work hard to influence it, because it will reflect the lies.Our story begins in 2008, with the election of Barack Obama, as well as the dawn of the iPhone, Twitter, and Facebook, not to mention the Wall Street bailout that gave rise to two populist movements and sparked the crisis that led to the Fourth Turning. We had the opportunity to build a New America, a shining Woketopia on the Hill, with new rules of language and behavior — one big soup of humanity that required us all to find our tribal identifiers. Class went out the window, as did the free market and the silent majority. Identity became a means by which we ranked ourselves and others. Obama was our leader, and as wealth and power shifted leftward and society began migrating online, the Democrats amassed an unprecedented amount of power. If you were living like this, you felt like you were at the cutting edge of something brand new. We were not only leading the country but also the world. The problem was not only that we had abandoned much of America without even realizing it, assuming everyone would be on board with our new direction, but also that we did not build our house of bricks. We cultivated victimhood and fragility, which made us ill-equipped to deal with the rise of Donald Trump.He was our ogre rampaging the quiet countryside while we stayed locked behind the castle walls, terrified that he might storm through the gates. Our comedians became our court jesters, and the legacy media delivered only news that was acceptable to the ruling elite. Hollywood reflected our singular hysteria. We had our magic mirror to tell us, always, who is the fairest of them all. Had there not been a big lie that consumed us that Donald the Terrible was an existential threat, maybe we'd have been okay. But when, at long last, Donald the Terrible was pushed out of office and Joe Biden was installed as a placeholder for our King, Barack Obama, the Democrats couldn't deliver. They showed the people that they still didn't care about them, that they would double down on their same toxic policies and force all of us to live under their increasingly strident rules.The border was open. Crime was rampant, thanks to defund the police. Gender ideology was not only a full-blown contagion out of control, but no one was allowed to even talk about it. Somehow, that truth never found its way in. Instead, the lies grew and the delusion took the Democrats all the way to raiding Mar-a-Lago, four separate indictments to put Donald the Terrible in prison. They took his mug shot. They forced him to sit in court so he could not campaign. They slapped him with a nearly $100 million lawsuit for defaming someone who was never defamed. And never, in all of that time, did they once talk about Joe Biden's failing cognitive abilities. Not once did they turn the camera around to look at themselves and see all the ways they were failing us.History must tell that story. It's the only way to understand what came next and what made Trump a hero. Donald the GreatWhen I was a Trump deranged lunatic, I was doing what everyone else did every second of every day. I was scouring the world for proof of Trump's evil nature. So I, too, read Mary Trump's book on her uncle. I expected to find stories that would serve as the necessary smoking gun, justifying how much of our emotional real estate was now devoted to obsessing over him.Instead, I found myself seeing a different side of Trump than I'd been conditioned to believe, even though that clearly was not Mary Trump's intention. She wanted me to see her uncle as uniquely dangerous, but how could I after reading the part where Trump was abandoned as a toddler when his mother was sent to the hospital after the difficult birth of his brother Robert? Donald Trump was just two years old, but he was already a fighter. He had to be. He had to survive without his mom at a time when he needed her the most. That was his first lesson in self-reliance. It was also his first lesson in seeing the brighter side of life. He could have spent all these years blaming his childhood and blaming her. But he never did. Why? Because he always paid tribute to his mother and chose the positive, he made his life better, and that is the power of positive thinking.That wasn't the only lesson in being emotionally tough, but it does explain, at least a little bit, how he was able to keep pushing through attacks that almost no human could survive. He wasn't babied. He wasn't coddled. He was thrown right into the deep end.And that is how you get to the guy who did not falter when they used everything in their considerable arsenal to destroy him. Each time they went at him, whether they knew it or not, they were making him stronger and transforming him into Donald the Great. And perhaps that helps explain how Donald the Great came to exist at all. That is what we all saw on October 13th. We saw that guy, the guy who would not stand down and would never allow his enemies to tarnish his good name. Here is Megyn Kelly:The Democrats still have not learned their lesson. If anything, they've only gotten worse.They may not like that Trump writes stuff like this:But they always overplay their hand. I don't happen to think his TIME cover is so bad. To me, it looks like he's looking to Heaven, and there is a halo around his head. But why should he trust any of them after ten years of attempting to destroy him through imagery? A day before, TIME tweeted this out: Make America Great AgainTrump's secret weapon has always been his loyal supporters, his MAGA base. He had their backs, so they had his. They showed up on January 6th at great cost to their reputations and their incomes. They were tarnished with lies and propaganda, but they stuck by Trump. It was felt most profoundly in Butler when none of his supporters ran after he was shot. As Trump said so eloquently at the convention just days later, they wanted to make sure he was okay.Then, when he says he isn't supposed to be here, they chant back to him, “Yes, you are.”This has never been the story of the Fourth Reich and the Second Confederacy. This has always been a love story, a grassroots movement, a basket of deplorables, standing by the only guy who saw them at all, let alone the guy who would fight for the America they want.That was what I witnessed in 2020 when I began watching Trump rallies. I saw happy people who were celebrating. How can they be celebrating? I remember thinking. Why aren't they miserable like we are? The answer is that, no matter Trump's many flaws, he has the unique gift of saying what no one else had the courage to say. And through him, they have a voice.Here is Scott Adams:And here is a Trump supporter:Every day, Trump is at war with the truth because there are still so many powerful people who want the lie. But they must know by now that this thing is only moving in one direction. We're never going back. Best lay down your weapons, Democrats. It's over. Here is Scott Adams again:The Democrats probably had no idea that in their unending pathology, their TDS, their ten-year temper tantrum that is still ongoing, they would sabotage their own fairy tale, Donald the Terrible, and manifest a better one, Donald the Great.And so we must tell this story over and over again until one day we won't have to because everyone will already know the truth.// This is a public episode.

En près de 250 ans d'existence, la constitution américaine a surmonté bien des défis. Survivra-t-elle aux coups de menton de Donald Trump ? Pour en parler, Alexis Buisson, correspondant de La Croix à New York, s'est entretenu avec Michel Rosenfeld, constitutionnaliste à l'école de droit Cardozo, dans l'état de New York.La Constitution régit les États-Unis depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle, un record de longévité pour une démocratie moderne. Aujourd'hui, le texte est confronté au défi de Donald Trump. Le républicain ne cache pas son intention de remettre en cause son contenu. Dès le début de sa présidence, il a signé un décret censé revenir sur le droit du sol, principe pourtant écrit noir sur blanc dans le texte.Son gouvernement a ignoré les décisions de certains juges fédéraux, chargés du contrôle de constitutionnalité, et les prérogatives du Congrès, au détriment de l'architecture des contre-pouvoirs imaginée par les Pères fondateurs.Ses détracteurs l'accusent aussi de bafouer le premier amendement sur la liberté d'expression et de s'arroger des pouvoirs extraordinaires en s'appuyant sur des lois d'exceptions militaires et économiques pour répondre à des crises qu'il amplifie. Enfin, il laisse entendre qu'il pourrait se présenter pour un troisième mandat alors que la constitution stipule que ce n'est pas possible.Quelle est sa stratégie ? Pour en parler, Alexis Buisson, correspondant de La Croix à New York, s'est entretenu avec le constitutionnaliste Michel Rosenfeld, professeur de droit à la Cardozo School of Law de l'université Yeshiva (New York).Hébergé par Ausha.

Stigall offers his thoughts on why Charlie Kirk was such a significant figure at such a pivotal time in our nation's history and why we all must now guard our young men and continue in that work. Not allow dark forces to compromise his legacy and turn those young activists into angry, grievance mobs. The Pentagon releases new rules for the press. Is it unconstitutional? Can states draw district boundaries based on race? And Congress continues to look at the weaponization of the DOJ by the Biden administration from spying on Republicans to surveilling J6ers and waging lawfare against Donald Trump. Don't look now, but Obama is still talking and can't stand President Trump is being heralded as a great leader across the world, so he's doing his best to lead the opposition here at home. But it's not working. Meanwhile Hamas is still very much interested in spreading terror and maintaining control of Gaza and the people there. They're publicly executing anyone they deem traitors among them. It's not a story you're hearing much but you will here, and President Trump won't play nice with Hamas for long. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The graft and corruption is not just massive, it's a traditional way of shaping society. A look back to how major economic bills were pushed. Joe Biden as VP pushed stimulus. When Nancy was more coherent, and Obama worked his magic. The start of illegal labor imports. It was also the start of staged protests. Nothing has changed. The big money began moving in 2009. Sidelined and re-routed. Screw your heroism, save the country. The continuity of government bill directing the operating code. It's all about transparency and massive data. Where did all that money go? Primarily academic institutions. They did all kinds of evil. Protest riots are not organic. Codifying protests and dissent into useful data. The social credit score has always been there. Truth doesn't need help to be heard. Most investigative journalists don't inform, they repeat. The Contention Project was real. In 2013 Smith-Mundt protections were relaxed. Denver is a major hub. The CCC is Crowd Counting Consortium. Erica Chenowith got big checks. The architecture of visibility means it has market value. Your taxes paid the blue haired tranny rioters. Getting credit is not important. It's all a well imbeded operation, so be aware and never stop watching.

We’ll break down the evidence, the timing, and what this could mean for Trump’s ongoing cases. Plus, China is getting dangerously provocative. The communist regime is threatening to cut off the U.S. from rare earth minerals, the lifeblood of modern technology and defense manufacturing. What’s really behind this latest economic aggression — and how vulnerable is America to Beijing’s chokehold?

[00:30] American Resurgence (10 minutes) President Trump is not slowing down. After a busy week in the Middle East, the President was asked about taking a vacation: “I'm just a little busy,” he replied. The contrast between Joe Biden and Donald Trump couldn't be more apparent. [10:00] Peace in Gaza? (30 minutes) The greatest peace deal in 3,000 years has gone into effect and Hamas is back out on the streets of Gaza executing its opposition in broad daylight. Is this what peace looks like? [40:00] United States and Britain in Prophecy (20 minutes)

The world has watched as a cease-fire has tentatively taken effect in Gaza. All the surviving Israeli hostages are home and many Palestinian prisoners and detainees have been released. Israeli forces have pulled back within Gaza, and much-needed humanitarian aid is rushing in. Phase One of Donald Trump's 20-point plan seems to be working. But what happens next is more uncertain. At the time of this recording, conditions on the ground were still in flux, as the difficulty of Phase Two came into focus. The thornier details of who will govern Gaza and provide security there remain to be determined. Nor is it clear whether Hamas will actually disarm, as Trump's plan calls the group to do. Most of Gaza is in ruins and many Palestinians fear that the cease-fire will only be a pause before a resumption of the conflict.   Shira Efron, Khaled Elgindy, and Daniel Shapiro have closely analyzed the war and its regional and global implications for Foreign Affairs over the last two years. All three are intimately familiar with the challenges of making peace in the Middle East: Efron, the distinguished chair for Israel Policy at the RAND Corporation, has advised Israeli security officials. Elgindy, a visiting scholar at Georgetown University, counseled Palestinian negotiators from 2004 to 2009. And Shapiro, a distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council, served as U.S. ambassador to Israel during the Obama administration and as deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East during the Biden administration. Executive Editor Justin Vogt spoke with Efron, Elgindy, and Shapiro on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 14, to make sense of Trump's deal and the Gaza cease-fire—its promise, its fragility, and its potential pitfalls.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You Can't Deny Success A deep dive into President Donald Trump’s historic 36-hour diplomatic marathon and the groundbreaking Gaza peace deal. Clay and Buck open the hour by contrasting Trump’s high-energy international diplomacy with Joe Biden’s limited schedule, highlighting Trump’s whirlwind trip to Israel and Egypt, his speeches to the Knesset, meetings with world leaders, and the signing of a landmark ceasefire agreement that secured the release of all Israeli hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees. The hosts emphasize that this achievement positions Trump as a dominant figure in Middle East peace negotiations—surpassing past presidents from Carter to Obama. The discussion features reactions from unlikely sources: left-leaning media figures and celebrities such as Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Joe Scarborough, who publicly acknowledged Trump’s success. Clay and Buck play clips from CNN, MSNBC, and prominent Democrats praising Trump’s role in brokering peace, noting how even Trump’s fiercest critics are conceding victory. They explore whether this diplomatic triumph will resonate with everyday Americans or remain a major news story without shifting public opinion, particularly among Jewish voters. The conversation touches on cultural and political dynamics within the Jewish community, analyzing whether Trump’s achievement could influence voting trends. A Bet is a Bet Alyssa Farah Griffin, former Trump White House communications director turned TV personality, made a bet that she’d wear a MAGA hat if President Trump brought the hostages home. Where is that hat, Alyssa? Corruption Masterclass Legal trouble for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who faces allegations of mortgage fraud tied to a Virginia property. Clay and Buck break down the indictment details, including claims that James misrepresented the home as a second residence while allegedly housing family members rent-free—one reportedly a convicted felon. They debate her potential defense strategy, jury dynamics, and whether political bias could influence the outcome, while noting her high-powered legal team and the broader implications for accountability. Eric Trump Calls In A high-profile conversation featuring Eric Trump, discussing his new book Under Siege: My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation, which has surged to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list. Eric shares candid insights into the Trump family’s battle against what he calls unprecedented “lawfare,” including multiple indictments, media attacks, and efforts to silence their voices. He details the staggering cost of defending against politically motivated investigations, the Russia collusion hoax, IRS leaks, and social media censorship, framing these challenges as part of a broader fight for free speech and constitutional values. The discussion also highlights President Trump’s historic achievement in brokering Middle East peace, a diplomatic breakthrough that even mainstream media and late-night hosts acknowledged as impressive. Eric emphasizes how Trump’s business acumen and results-driven mindset—shared by figures like Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff —enabled him to succeed where career politicians failed. The segment underscores Trump’s resilience, his “superhuman” focus, and the enduring energy behind the MAGA movement, which Eric calls “the greatest political movement in American history.” Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8 For the latest updates from Clay and Buck: https://www.clayandbuck.com/ Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Social Media: X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VerdictwithTedCruzSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
