Podcasts about D-Day

Over the next few weeks, we'll explore the incredibly varied and complex roles women stepped into during World War II. No, they weren't GIs. They didn't land at the beach on Normandy on D-Day, or face military combat, but without a doubt, the roles they performed shaped the way the war was both fought and won.

The Fragility of the Union and the Dismantling of the Republic. Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. Reflecting on the anniversary of Gettysburg, the speakers suggest that the "sacred" unity and mission established by Lincoln and later reinforced by D-Day are being abandoned. The current leadership is depicted as "whipsawed" between a desire to be a "peace president" and the political risk of appearing defeated on the world stage. The "imperial court" in Washington is described as oblivious to the citizenry, continuing foreign adventures despite widespread domestic opposition. Ultimately, Gaius and Germanicus posit that the United States is an arbitrary construct now in the process of being "dismantled" by endless political warfare and a growing disconnect between the leadership and the people.

It's one of the greatest films ever made. Doug has seen it more times than he can count. And for years, he's been waiting for the moment his daughter was ready. This Father's Day weekend, it happened, but not before they worked their way through Batman Begins first. The Batman Begins debrief alone is worth the price of admission: Natalie still doesn't understand why Bruce Wayne's parents had to die and genuinely wondered whether Batman was going to kill Rachel and Alfred in the film. She also thought that Batman can, apparently, talk to bats. Then came The Dark Knight. Doug prepped her on the Joker's philosophy, the importance of Batman's no-kill rule, and the practical effects behind the hospital explosion, which Doug and Jill actually witnessed being filmed when they lived downtown Chicago. Natalie handled the pencil scene with more composure than expected. She processed the ferry sequence. She understood the stakes, and spent the entire climax waiting for Bane to show up. And when it was over, she looked at her dad and said: "I see why you like it." Ten years. Worth every second. Also this episode: a genuinely great question — if you could go back to high school or college and take one class again with everything you know now, which class would you choose? Justin picks social studies, psychology, astronomy, and a very specific European history class he completely wasted. Doug picks management 101 with a professor he truly despised and would absolutely challenge every single day, and seventh grade PE, where his coach regularly called him names that would end careers today. Plot twist: years later, that same coach applied for a job at Doug's brother's school. Doug's brother said no. Justice is real. Plus: a dump truck parked in front of a blind hill with "Trust in the Lord" written on the back, Jesus as a Marvel Rivals support player, and Meccha Chameleon — a $6 Steam prop hunt game where you paint yourself to blend into the scenery and it is immediately one of the best six dollars Doug has ever spent. Justin needs a PC. Doug has thoughts. The movie audio clip guessing game returns with quotes from Wall Street, The Big Short, and The Golden Child including one of the most specific movie pulls in the history of this show. This week's recommendations:

(3) In the setting of Londinium, 92 AD, Gaius and Germanicus engage in a series of debates comparing the struggles of the ancient Roman Empire to the paradigms of power and exhaustion in the 21st century. Meteorology, Myth, and the Miracles of D-Day. Reviewing the film Pressure, the pair discusses how meteorological "miracles" and "preternatural discipline" decided the fate of D-Day. They conclude that reenacting WWII history through film serves as a "sacral" and "mythic experience" for Americans, providing a necessary sense of connection and certainty in an otherwise "desperately fractious" modern political landscape.

What ten years of podcasting taught me about exposure, revelation, and reclaiming who you are. FLAUNT! is officially ten years old, and this anniversary episode is both a celebration and a reflection on what a decade of truth-telling has revealed. When Lora first started the podcast, she believed she was happily married and thought the show would focus primarily on empowerment, wellness, sensuality, confidence, visibility, humor, spirituality, and the art of living freely. Using burlesque as a metaphor, she explored the tension between concealing and revealing, the ways women cover or enhance parts of themselves, and how personal growth invites us to strip away roles, labels, scripts, and expectations. But over the past ten years, the show evolved in ways Lora never expected. Betrayal, burnout, affair recovery, nervous-system capacity, self-trust, and identity reconstruction became central themes. What once felt like a joyful personal-development conversation became something deeper and more urgent after betrayal exposed the difference between revealing yourself by choice and being exposed by someone else's actions. In this episode, Lora asks one of the core questions that has shaped both the podcast and her TEDx work: Who gets to define you? She explores how we come to know ourselves through other people's judgments, labels, and expectations. Whether we were called the difficult child, the fixer, the shy one, the loud one, the good wife, the good mom, or the capable one, many of us build identities around what others have reflected back to us. Betrayal can rip those identities away and force us to ask who we are without the roles we once relied on. Lora also reflects on the complicated nature of anniversaries. Some anniversaries are joyful, while others mark grief, shock, loss, or the end of a life we thought we were living. A podcast anniversary, a wedding anniversary, a D-Day anniversary, or a divorce anniversary can all bring mixed emotions. Rather than forcing those feelings to make sense, Lora invites listeners to honor the complexity of time, truth, grief, gratitude, and growth. This episode also explores the importance of being proud of yourself, not only for the big wins, but for the quiet moments of survival, self-reflection, honesty, and repair. Lora discusses the difference between blame and self-awareness, especially when betrayed partners look back and recognize places where they were exhausted, over-functioning, resentful, controlling, self-sacrificing, or disconnected from their own truth. That reflection does not excuse betrayal or make the betrayed partner responsible for someone else's choices. Instead, it creates an opportunity for reclamation. Lora shares how resentment often reveals where we performed a role no one actually asked us to perform. Whether it was keeping the perfect house, being endlessly helpful, managing everyone else's needs, or sacrificing ourselves to be seen as good, resentment can become a doorway into truth. It asks us to notice where we abandoned ourselves, where we hid our needs, and where we expected others to appreciate something we never clearly chose or communicated. The episode also addresses a tender truth: sometimes we do not face reality because we do not yet have the capacity, safety, resources, support, legal clarity, emotional maturity, or nervous-system strength to deal with it. Humans minimize, rationalize, distract, stay busy, and bury their heads in the sand when the truth would require a decision they are not ready or resourced enough to make. This can happen in the betrayed partner, and it can also happen in the partner who cheats. An affair may become a distraction from pain, dissatisfaction, or unresolved inner issues, but while that may explain behavior, it does not excuse the harm. Ultimately, this anniversary episode is about truth as a doorway, not a weapon. It is about learning to speak truth to yourself first, then to others. It is about knowing when to show up, when to rest, when to ask better questions, when to respect someone else's capacity, and when to stop outsourcing your identity to someone else's judgment, betrayal, or approval. After ten years of FLAUNT!, Lora returns to one central truth: someone else's judgment is not a verdict. Someone else's betrayal is not your identity. Truth may strip away fantasy and denial first, but it also creates the possibility of real self-definition.   Top 3 Takeaways There is a difference between being exposed and revealing yourself. Betrayal exposes you without your consent. Healing is the process of choosing what you reveal, what you reclaim, what you protect, and what you no longer allow to define you. Someone else's judgment is not a verdict. Much of our identity is shaped through labels, roles, and reflections from others, but those labels do not have to define us forever. Confidence is the ability to stay connected to who you are, even when someone else misunderstands, judges, betrays, or fails to value you. Truth requires capacity, and avoidance does not erase responsibility. Sometimes we do not face the truth because we do not yet have the resources, safety, support, or emotional capacity to deal with it. That may explain why people minimize, distract, rationalize, or avoid, but it does not excuse harm. Truth becomes healing when it is used as a doorway into responsibility, support, and reclamation.   Favorite Quotes “Betrayal strips you without your consent. Healing is when you begin choosing what comes off and what goes back on.” “Sometimes we bury our head in the sand because looking directly at the truth would require us to make a decision that we are either not ready to make or not resourced enough to make.”   About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

Jun 21st  | Fathers day | Psalm 78:1-8In this powerful Father's Day message, Derrick Jackson opens with the remarkable story of his grandfather, a World War II veteran who landed in Normandy just days after D-Day and carried both the scars of battle and a legacy of quiet faithfulness. Through that story, Derrick draws a compelling connection to Psalm 78, where Asaph reminds God's people that every generation is responsible for passing on the stories of God's faithfulness.Why do stories matter? Because the most important stories are always one generation away from being forgotten. In Psalm 78, we discover that faith rarely dies in open rebellion—it usually dies in silence. Derrick challenges parents, grandparents, church leaders, and every believer to embrace their calling as storytellers of God's grace, mercy, provision, and salvation.This message explores three timeless truths: the stories must be heard, the stories must be told, and the stories must produce hope. Along the way, listeners are reminded that the greatest story ever told is the Gospel of Jesus Christ—the story of a Savior who lived, died, and rose again to redeem sinners and transform families for generations to come.Whether you're a parent seeking to leave a spiritual legacy, a believer who has grown silent about God's work in your life, or someone searching for hope in Christ, this message will encourage you to make sure the story survives.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠ 

A chilling read from Chris Underwood... literally. What happens if you're in the Midwest in winter and the power goes out? Listen in as I chat with Chris Underwood about his Cold Winter series. Content warning: While these books do have characters who are Christians and live their faith, the first book (not sure about the rest) does include a few instances of foul language in the first few chapters. I'm switching from audio to print to finish. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  Talking about all the research he did for this series was a blast. I loved hearing about his travels with the crew and the prepper side--everything. The Cold Winter Grid-Down Series by Chris Underwood  The Cold Winter Series begins with a power grid failure at Niagara Falls three days before Christmas, as a snowstorm approaches. Welcome to The Cold Winter. It follows a group of families in Central Ohio who want to help stranded motorists who end up on their porch. Even when doing the right thing doesn't work out, they keep on trying. There is a sense of morality and faith as the emergency continues to worsen. In the second book, they learn that the power outage is an attack on the nation, and join a civilian minuteman militia to fight back. The third book of the series ramps up the action and features the first major battles of the minutemen militia. Since modern machinery cannot be trusted, vintage military equipment is utilized by the militia, such as a Huey Helicopter and a WWII Landing Ship, the LST-325. This ship is an actual floating museum on the Ohio River and is used by this militia to go upstream to rescue a VIP and bring him to safety. River locks are liberated from the enemy, and a dramatic battle is staged on Wheeling Island, where the landing ship performs much as it did on D-Day in Normandy: Landing aground with troops and equipment pouring out the front for battle! The fourth installment of the series introduces more vintage equipment, including a Cobra Attack Helicopter and a P-47 Thunderbolt, to fight modern naval ships in an effort to liberate the Niagara Falls power station from the enemy. Even the WWII Destroyer, USS The Sullivans, in its current engineless state at the Buffalo Naval Museum, is somehow used in the battle! It's an epic showdown of antique airpower against modern naval might! Learn more on Chris's WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads and BookBub. Like to listen on the go?

A message from Jane on Juneteenth:Happy Juneteenth! Juneteenth is a holiday to celebrate the end of slavery in the United States and the emancipation of millions of Black Americans held in human bondage. People like my great-great-grandparents. Their grandson, my grandfather, Oscar Coaston, served his country during World War II as part of a segregated unit that landed on Omaha Beach during D-Day.Today, nearly 80 years since the U.S. military was officially desegregated, 20% of the military is Black. But since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, the administration has made it crystal clear that Black servicemembers are not to be treated with respect.So to talk about the impact the Trump administration has had on Black members of the military, I spoke to Clint Smith.

This shiur traces the theme of rejection and reversal across Shoftim chapters 10 and 11. We examine the enigmatic minor judges Tola and Yair, unpack the Rambam's radical interpretation of "vattiktzar nafsho" (Moreh Nevuchim I:41), and explore what genuine teshuva actually looks like when Hashem says no the first time. We also connect the miraculous retreat of the Ammonites to the pattern of Divine Providence operating through natural events, from D-Day to the battle of Katamon. Who gets called when things fall apart? And what do we make of a society that polices ancient lineage laws while abandoning Hashem entirely? Part of the ongoing Judges in the Nach series.

The 82nd anniversary of the D-Day Landings took place recently and our host, Mike Slater, is taking the time to reflect on that historic World War II milestone with a review of some of the words from the American General George S. Patton and how they can instruct modern Americans on winning in today's world. Following that opener, Slater has a more contemporary chat with U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) about the inner-workings of Trump 2.0 in 2026 and what real patriots can expect to go down in the upcoming months!

Fraser's newest project which takes him to the role of General Dwight D. Eisenhower just days before D-Day in World War 2. All of the "pressure" is on Eisenhower to make this invasion happen soon to save the world as they know it, but wouldn't you know it... it's gonna rain...

History often remembers the invasion: the beaches, the Soldiers, and the first waves crashing ashore on D-Day. But in the days before Allied forces reached Normandy, another battle was unfolding behind closed doors. A battle of judgment, uncertainty, and leadership under immense pressure.   In this episode of Army Matters, LTG (Ret.) Leslie Smith sits down with filmmaker Anthony Maras, director, co-writer, editor, and producer of Pressure, now in theaters. This historical thriller focuses on the 72 tense hours before D-Day and the difficult decisions that faced General Dwight D. Eisenhower and meteorologist Captain James Stagg. The film examines a rarely considered side of history: decision making in times of uncertainty with millions of lives hanging in the balance.    Known for building tension through films rooted in real events, including Hotel Mumbai, Maras discusses leadership under emotional pressure, how to make slow-moving weather patterns thrilling, and what really happened in the moments leading up to D-Day.

Forget the "well, actually" crowd. Yes, the Germans were central to the space race, and host Matt Trump is leaning all the way into it. In Part I of this new series, Matt traces humanity's first object to ever cross into outer space back to a test launch from Peenemunde on June 20, 1944, two weeks after D-Day, and the weapon it became, the V2. But the real story starts decades earlier with Jules Verne, whose 1865 novel "From the Earth to the Moon" predicted Apollo and Artemis with eerie accuracy, and inspired a young Transylvanian Saxon named Hermann Oberth to turn science fiction into the actual rocket equation. Matt also dives into the strange, tangled connections between Oberth, Fritz Lang, Thea von Harbou, and the silent film "Metropolis," and what that film really reveals about how the Nazis saw themselves. Next week, the warriors arrive: Wernher von Braun.

 This week on Straight White American Jesus, Brad and Dan unpack the GOP's latest claims of voter fraud in California and show how conspiracy thinking, Christian nationalist spiritual warfare, and anti-democratic rhetoric continue to undermine public trust in elections. Focusing on comments from Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, they explore how evidence-free allegations of fraud function politically, why California has become a symbolic target, and how narratives of hidden, “unprovable” corruption mirror the logic of both conspiracism and charismatic Christian nationalism. The episode examines what happens when feelings and intuition replace facts, and why attacks on election integrity remain central to the MAGA movement's political strategy. The conversation then turns to the Trump administration's unprecedented UFC event at the White House and Pete Hegseth's controversial D-Day remarks in Normandy. Brad and Dan analyze the UFC spectacle as a symbol of a broader political vision rooted in domination, submission, and conflict rather than democratic deliberation and compromise. They also discuss Hegseth's embrace of Western civilizational rhetoric and anti-immigrant messaging during a commemoration of the Allied fight against fascism, situating his comments within a larger framework of Christian nationalism, Western chauvinism, and the growing influence of the postliberal right. Along the way, they reflect on America's declining international standing, the politics of spectacle, and reasons for hope as public resistance to authoritarianism continues to grow.

SpaceX debuts on a U.S. stock exchange this week in what's anticipated to be a record-breaking public offering, with high stakes for investors and the U.S. economy. Also: today's stories, including how a U.S. troop rescue near Iran points to the rising use of sea drones in combat; how on this year's anniversary of the D-Day landings that turned the tide against Nazi Germany in World War II, the Trump administration offered a full-throated endorsement of Europe's far-right political parties; and how soccer mania in Mexico is swelling as the World Cup opens. Join the Monitor's Christa Case Bryant for today's news.

Trump naps courtside and jinxes the Knicks. Bovino wants 100 million Americans disappeared. And Musk's robots are coming for the rest of us. In this episode: *

Send us Fan MailOn 6 June 1944, Keith Whiting was serving aboard HMS Ramillies, a British battleship supporting the Normandy landings. Keith helped fire the massive 15-inch guns that bombarded German defences ahead of the Allied assault on the beaches, and then supported them as they fought their way inland. HMS Ramillies fired so many shells during the invasion that her gun barrels later had to be replaced.Keith reflects on his wartime experiences, the comrades he served alongside, and the sacrifices made by a generation that changed the course of history. He also shares his memories of the 80th anniversary commemorations and what it means to carry those memories into the present day.Support the show

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy break down the latest international embarrassment as Donald Trump's Iran ceasefire-in-name-only appears to be falling apart even more, with fighting escalating, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly disregarding Trump's demands, and Iranian officials accusing Trump of fabricating details about negotiations. The brothers also examine how Trump's presence seems to bring chaos everywhere he goes—from disrupting the World Cup and causing massive security headaches around the NBA Finals in New York City to his bizarre plan to stage a UFC event on the White House lawn. Plus, a growing New World Screwworm outbreak raises serious public health concerns, protests erupt in Albania over projects tied to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sparks outrage after botching D-Day commemorations in Normandy with offensive remarks. Finally, the hosts dissect Trump's increasingly erratic appearance on Meet the Press, where an orange-and-red-faced Trump abruptly ended the interview and stormed off when pressed on tough questions.

Patrick K. O'Donnell describes how in early 1944, Lieutenant Colonel James Earl Rudder and Major Max F. Schneider arrived at Paddington Station in London for a top-secret briefing regarding the most dangerous mission of D-Day. Their objective was to neutralize six large German guns at Pointe du Hoc that threatened the Allied landings at both Omaha and Utah beaches. The mission was considered nearly impossible, requiring the Rangers to scale a sheer 90-foot cliff while under direct machine gun, artillery, and mortar fire. To prepare, the Second Ranger Battalionunderwent grueling training beginning in 1943, climbing high cliffs at speed without safety harnesses. Officers used live fire, shooting M1 Garands near the climbing men to simulate the sensation of actual combat. The Ranger concept was relatively new to the U.S. Army, which lacked special operations units until 1941. Influenced by British commandos but drawing on American traditions like Rogers' Rangers, the units were designed for irregular warfare. Major Schneider, a veteran of Darby's Rangers with significant combat experience and potential PTSD from the Italian campaign, was kept on the mission through the personal intervention of General Eisenhower. The Rangers eventually crossed the North Atlantic on the Queen Elizabeth, which relied on its speed to evade German U-boat wolfpacks. By June 1944, despite the daunting prospects, the men were physically and mentally prepared for the assault on the Atlantic Wall. (1)1944

Patrick K. O'Donnell recounts how between 7:20 and 8:00 a.m., the Rangers began their assault using rocket-propelled grappling hooks to fire wet ropes up the 90-foot cliffs. The climb was conducted under intense fire from German MG42machine guns and "potato masher" hand grenades lobbed from above. Sergeant Len Lomell was shot through the side during the ascent but continued to the summit, which he described as looking like the cratered surface of the moon due to the preceding bombardments. The Rangers utilized the craters and ruins for cover, fighting through a maze of tunnels and bunkers against defenders who remained entrenched in an underground labyrinth. Upon reaching the designated casemates, the Rangers discovered the Germans had moved the massive guns to an apple orchard 700 yards inland, leaving telephone poles in their place as decoys. Acting on his own initiative, Lomell followed tire tracks leading away from the casemates and discovered the guns hidden under nets in the orchard. Remarkably, the German gun crews were assembled nearby, listening to an officer's orders and leaving the weapons briefly unguarded. Lomell and Sergeant Jack Kuhn used thermite grenades to melt the gears of the guns, rendering them inoperable. Through the efforts of these two men, the primary objective of the entire D-Day mission was accomplished, succeeding where hundreds of bombers and heavy naval guns had failed. (3)1944

Patrick K. O'Donnell describes how the assault on Hill 400 on December 7, 1944, was characterized by surviving Rangers as their "longest day," surpassing even D-Day in intensity. Before the attack, Len Lomell conducted a reconnaissance patrol, determining that the only viable path to the summit was a straight frontal assault across an open field the size of a football stadium. Tensions rose when a new officer ordered a scout into the field in broad daylight; the man was immediately shot, enraging the seasoned Rangers who viewed the order as a suicide mission. When the signal for the main assault was finally given, Dog and Fox companies sprang from a sunken road like a "coiled spring." Approximately 120 Rangers charged across the open field with fixed bayonets, screaming "rebel yells" and shouting "Hi-Ho Silver" to intimidate the defenders. They ran directly into the teeth of MG42 fire, bayonetting and shooting Germansas they stormed up the steep incline. The speed and ferocity of the charge overwhelmed the German defenders at the base and on the slopes. Upon reaching the summit, the Rangers captured a massive observation bunker and immediately began digging shallow foxholes to prepare for the inevitable counterattacks. Though they had taken the hill, they remained unaware of its true significance to the German High Command or the scale of the firestorm that was about to descend upon them. (6)1944

Author Patrick K. O'Donnell discusses his extensive research into the Second Ranger Battalion, specifically focusing on the personal legacies and oral histories of the men of Dog Company. His work is based on thousands of interviews and archival documents, often initiated by a personal request from veteran Len Lamel to tell their story. The source profiles key figures, such as James Rudder, a former football coach who took command of the D-Day assault after relieving a predecessor who deemed the mission suicidal. Rudder later became the president of Texas A&M University. Another prominent figure is "Reggie," a former tap dancer and the shortest man in the company, who eventually served as the fire chief of Plymouth. The narrative also touches on Duke Slater, who later fought in the Korean War and became a prisoner of war. A symbolic moment occurred during the 40th anniversary of D-Day in 1984, where veteran Herman Stein scaled the cliffs again at age seventy. President Ronald Reagan highlighted these men as examples of American resilience and the ability of small groups to shape history. O'Donnell's mission is to preserve the "can-do" spirit of these elite soldiers. 81944

The infuriating Senate race in Maine must have Hitler, Himmler, and Goebbels cheering in hell. Dean breaks down his latest New York Sun column regarding Senator Susan Collins and her Democratic challenger, Graham Plattner. Dean pulls no punches discussing Plattner's Nazi Totenkopf tattoo, history with Blackwater, bloodlust for killing, and disturbing allegations of domestic abuse. So much for “believe all women.” Media Double Standards: Watch how corporate media handles a leftist candidate in crisis. Dean reacts to audio clips of CNN's Jake Tapper softening questions with James Carville with needless details that assist Carville in avoided Platner's evil, MSNOW's Chris Hayes tossing softball confirmation questions, and Congressman Ro Khanna moving the "red line" from believing women who allege abuse to saying it's cool as long as they don't leave more than “marks” on their bodies. The Scott Pelley "Combat" Myth: Dean calls out CBS anchor Scott Pelley for doubling down on claims of experiencing combat as a journalist, contrasting it sharply with the genuine humility of World War II and D-Day veterans. Pete Hegseth & French Ingratitude: On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, residents of a French village claim U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth isn't welcome due to "warlike views." Dean delivers a blistering history lesson on Vichy France, historical collaboration, and the sacrifices marked by rows of American tombstones. Hollywood's "Dark Slop" Crisis: Turning to pop culture, Dean uses a clip from Raiders of the Lost Podcast discussing Legally Blonde to analyze why modern movies look visually unappealing, poorly lit, and homogenous compared to classic cinema shot on actual film.

Trump ripped off his mic and ran from Meet the Press. Then it got worse. In this episode: Trump storms off Meet the Press when Welker keeps asking for proof Hegseth uses a D-Day speech to compare immigrants to invading Nazis JD Vance blames a British killing on immigrants — when both men were born in Britain More than 200 killed on boats in strikes the Pentagon's own lawyers call illegal Trump blames the "dirty FBI" for January 6th — again Pardoned January Sixers getting re-arrested The billionaire swallowing CNN and CBS while Colbert gets fired Mamdani's plan to abolish ICE — as ICE quietly stops reporting inmate deaths South Carolina and Maine primaries: Graham Platner vs. Democratic Party Key figures covered: Donald Trump, Kristen Welker, Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, Usha Vance, David Ellison, Stephen Colbert, Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Zohran Mamdani, Graham Platner, Susan Collins, Bernie Sanders.

Big Trump Immigration Bill Funded. Remembering D-Day. As Hegseth Contaminates That Too. Iran and Israel Back at It. Achilles Strong in Idaho. 7'4 Mayor Greg Ostertag (I). The Bears are Leaving Chicago?!?  New York City is buzzing. For the first time since 1999, the NBA finals are back at Madison Square Garden, and Fat Joe says it's the greatest unification the city has seen since 9/11. Then Trump announced he's coming — and everything he touches suffers. No sitting president has ever crashed an NBA finals game, for good reason: the security footprint swallows the event, the watch parties outside the Garden get shut down, and the working-class fans who can't afford an $8,000 nosebleed seat get pushed out of their own city's celebration. Paul Rieckhoff opens Manosphere Monday solo with a no-BS breakdown of why this is the new normal — UFC at the White House, the World Cup, the 2028 Olympics — and why the last island of American culture just got contaminated. From there, the briefing widens: Pete Hegseth turning the 82nd anniversary of D-Day into an anti-immigration grievance speech, Kristen Welker revealing Trump for who he is on Meet the Press, the Iran-Israel ceasefire that isn't a ceasefire, a direct Iranian missile hit on the main US air command center in Qatar that the government still won't talk about, $70 billion in new ICE funding rolling toward the House, and the independent veteran candidates — Achilles, Bodnar, Osborn — quietly running the most underreported political story in America. Plus a closing note on Greg Ostertag, the seven-foot NBA legend who just won a mayor's race in Mount Vernon, Texas — as an independent. Joy is resistance. So is vigilance. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Pete Hegseth has used a D-Day anniversary speech in northern France to criticise European nations for allowing what he described as an "invasion" on their shores. The US defence secretary said Europe's beaches were being ''stormed by migrants with dangerous ideologies.'' His comments mark a further criticism of European migration policy by senior members of the Trump administration. Also: Iran has accused the United States of violating its obligations as a World Cup host because of its refusal to grant visas to some staff travelling with the Iranian football team. Ukraine launches another major drone attack on the Russian city of St Petersburg. More foreign migrants are evacuated from South Africa following a surge in attacks on immigrants. A funeral is held for a seven-month-old Palestinian baby shot dead by an Israeli soldier in the occupied West Bank. People in Peru are voting in a highly polarized election to choose their ninth president in a decade. And the Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva has won her first Grand Slam title at the French Open.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

June 5, 2026In his June 5th, 1944 Fireside Chat, FDR let Americans know that Rome had fallen to Allied troops, He emphasized how troops from many nations had worked together to defeat the forces of fascism, And he warned that this was just the beginning of the path to victory, FDR knew, but did not tell his audience, that the Allies were on their way into France, That evening, General Dwight D Eisenhower's order read that the eyes of the world were upon the Allies, and he assured the troops that they were on their way to victory,  Eisenhower's confidence disguised his appreciation of the risks of the operation, Eisenhower had written a letter, to be sent if the invasion failed, In the letter he took full responsibility and praised the members of the military, But the letter was never delivered as on June 6, 1944, in the largest amphibious invasion in military history, the Allies had successfully stormed the beaches of Normandy, Thousands died or were wounded, but the operation established an essential foothold in France.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe
