In this special nighttime edition, Ghost dives deep into breaking news of a historic peace deal between Hamas and Israel, brokered under President Trump's leadership. From Trump's 20-point plan and Netanyahu's uneasy alliance to the reactions from Mahmoud Abbas, Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, Ghost unpacks every angle of what could mark the beginning of a lasting peace, or the next geopolitical storm. He explores the regional power shifts, media narratives, and implications for global stability as Trump prepares to travel to Egypt and Israel for the official signing. It's a comprehensive, fast-moving breakdown of the deal shaping the future of the Middle East.

Michael Wolff returns with Joanna Coles for a blistering look at the latest fractures inside Trump's MAGA coalition. From Trump's resurfacing of Epstein anxieties and his strange new pardon predicament with Ghislaine Maxwell, to his growing unease over Israel and the rise of Christian nationalism, Wolff sketches a portrait of a president losing control of the populist movement he created. The Daily Beast's Chief Content Officer Joanna Coles presses Wolff on Tucker Carlson's ambitions, online swirling Charlie Kirk conspiracies, and J.D. Vance's quiet maneuvering for power. Together, they dissect how Trump's cult of loyalty is turning on itself and why his old tactics may finally be failing. Is Trump still the master of the MAGA hivemind, or has he become just another voice in the chaos he unleashed? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jon Herold kicks off a busy Tuesday with a mix of real talk and real noise, literally, as home renovations compete with headlines. From Trump's latest executive orders to the explosive new Illinois directive under the Insurrection Act, Herold breaks down how federal forces are stepping in where blue-state governors refuse to act. He dives into the growing Charlie Kirk controversy, with Candace Owens' leaked messages now confirmed as authentic, and calls out the media's selective silence. Then it's back to geopolitics and corruption as Jon exposes Biden's suppressed CIA report on Ukraine and Burisma, showing how the seeds of scandal were planted long before his presidency. Add in the Gaza peace talks, Trump's tireless work ethic, and fresh election integrity revelations, and you've got another sharp, unfiltered Tuesday edition of The Daily Herold.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine return for another wild ride through the week's most explosive conspiracies. From Trump's talk of invoking the Insurrection Act and cracking down on lawless blue states to new developments in the mysterious death of Charlie Kirk, the hosts dissect the narratives, leaks, and logic gaps the media won't touch. They break down ballistic inconsistencies, donor drama, and digital breadcrumbs while debating whether the official story adds up, or if a much deeper cover-up is unfolding. Along the way, they spotlight the latest revelations about FBI surveillance, Israeli data collection, and the growing war between truth-tellers and controlled opposition. With sharp analysis and trademark humor, this episode connects the dots in the chaos, reminding listeners why no conspiracy is ever truly “baseless.”

A-BLOCK (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: TRUMP SUDDENLY SPECULATES ABOUT LIFE WITHOUT HIM: From anybody else it would be trivia. From Trump this is startling. Buried in an ordinary narcissistic flight: "It'll be very unfair in the future when they (Republicans) don't have Trump to fight for them." That quote, might be the biggest headline Trump has made this year and it sailed RIGHT past the American news media yesterday. What in the HELL did he mean by that and more importantly why did he suddenly acknowledge there is an end, maybe soon? After being MIA for five days – no live public viewing of him, just one video that according to White House time stamps took more than two hours to produce even though it only required him to try to speak for a minute-ten… he EMERGED with what was, even for him, such an utterly bizarre and especially vulnerable admission. He was out of view for FIVE DAYS. FIVE. From that bizarre “please clap” speech before the Generals at Quantico on Tuesday – the Pete Hegseth International Day of Military Hair Care Symposium and Product Sampling – through yesterday morning when he managed to stagger out of the White House, blast a series of non sequitirs at the press pool, and then go to another military celebration for which we have the money even in the middle of his shutdown of the government. Nobody asked: HOW have you been, WHERE have you been, WHAT are they treating you for, WHAT does that "when they don't have (you) to fight for them" quote mean? Because again, as in the week he went MIA at the beginning of LAST month, nobody had a clue what would take a man with compulsive talking disease and an ego so large it has own it zip code, from appearing in front of crowds and cameras for FIVE DAYS. And THEN Trump went in front of the Navy and said he warned about Osama Bin Laden last year, and told Pete Hegseth about it a year before 9/11, and claimed he was president in 2016 but they fixed the 2016 election, but they ran it again and he "got 250." What. In The Hell. Is Wrong. With Trump’s Health? B-Block (27:44) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: A $1 Trump coin? Ten cents per chin? Ian Miles Cheong doesn't think they'll eat his face. Noem and Lewandowski think they'll find undocumented immigrants attending the Super Bowl. And Kristi really has to go to the toilet. THIS IS OFFICIAL BUSINESS! C-Block (38:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Well, here we are. Fifty years ago Tuesday night, at 11:15 PM, I did my first broadcast on an actual radio station with advertisers and listeners. I was 16 and it's not bad for 16 and for the fact that my much older colleagues at WVBR-FM did a superb job of hazing me. And yes, that first broadcast is still extant, as you'll hear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CannCon and Chris Paul team up to cut through the noise on day three of the government shutdown. From Trump's meeting with Russ Vought and the unprecedented chance to slash bloated federal agencies, to Cash Patel's bombshell confirmation that Pelosi refused National Guard support on January 6th, this episode is stacked with revelations. The hosts expose the FBI's covert presence inside the Capitol, Pelosi's HBO film crew, and the media's role in covering up the inside job. They also dig into Trump's strategic trolling of Project 2025 critics, the Democrats' crumbling narratives, and what a true “return to normalcy” in America should look like. With sharp analysis and no-holds-barred banter, CannCon and Chris Paul make clear that the dam is breaking, and the Deep State is running out of time.

In today's episode, Lee and Tara break down what they call “Schumer's Shutdown Playtime” — a high-stakes battle over government funding, illegal immigrant healthcare, and Trump's newly reinforced executive powers. With viral TikTok videos exposing Democrat missteps and everyday Americans voicing raw frustrations, the shutdown fight is spilling far beyond Washington. From Trump's trolling masterclass to the surprising voices reshaping the debate online, this episode dives into how Democrats may be losing their own base while Republicans fight back in ways we've never seen before.

Burning Bright welcomes Jordan Sather for a fast-moving exploration of accelerationism, information warfare, and the collapsing narratives of the regime. They dig into the idea that society is being intentionally sped up, politically, culturally, and spiritually, to force breaking points that expose corruption and awaken the public. From Trump's “paper tiger” comments about Russia to the fallout of Charlie Kirk's assassination and the Tylenol–autism firestorm, the conversation ties together psyops, censorship, and cultural chaos as tools of both control and revelation. Jordan brings sharp insight on how narratives are weaponized across media and geopolitics, while Burning Bright emphasizes first principles and spiritual grounding as the antidote to manipulation. Together, they ask whether acceleration is a trap, a strategy, or both, and how individuals can navigate the storm without losing discernment.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Texas, Gavin Newsom's taunts against federal immigration agents, a trillion-dollar bet on artificial intelligence, and surprising medical news about how common drugs damage the gut. From political violence in Dallas to AI schemes and gut health science, today's brief delivers facts and analysis shaping America's future.   ICE Facility Shooting in Dallas: Joshua Jahn, 29, opened fire on an ICE building with a Mauser-style rifle, killing one illegal alien and injuring two others before taking his own life. He left behind ammo marked “Anti-ICE” and had ties to Communist views similar to his leftist sister. Bryan warns the pattern echoes other recent attacks: “From Trump's assassin in Butler, PA… to Charlie Kirk's killer… these platforms like Steam and Discord are being used to groom young men into violence.”   Newsom Taunts ICE After Signing Five Bills: California Governor Gavin Newsom declared, “To ICE, unmask yourselves. What are you afraid of?” on Colbert's show, less than 24 hours before the Dallas attack. Leftist groups in California are doxxing ICE officers with help from AI activists in Europe, while Democrats push to weaken federal deportation powers. Bryan argues this is about political power, not civil rights: “Schumer and Pelosi said it themselves — they want illegals turned into citizens for votes and control.”   The AI Revolution's Cost and Scheming Risks: OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank pledged $500 billion for new U.S. data centers, with utilities warning of grid strain and soaring bills. While AI is helping detect Parkinson's and cancers, researchers admit models are “scheming” — purposely failing to hide competence. Bryan quips, “We're spending a trillion dollars to create systems that lie, hallucinate, and dumb down doctors.”   Common Medications Alter Gut Health for Years: Estonian researchers found antidepressants, beta-blockers, proton pump inhibitors, and benzodiazepines disrupt the gut microbiome as severely as antibiotics. Effects persist long after use, raising risks for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. Bryan advises, “If you're on meds, don't forget about your belly — diet, sleep, and exercise matter.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Dallas ICE facility shooting Joshua Jahn, Anti-ICE ammo Mauser rifle, Discord Steam radicalization grooming, Gavin Newsom Colbert ICE taunt, California ICE officer doxxing AI, Schumer Pelosi immigration citizenship votes, OpenAI Oracle SoftBank Stargate $500B, AI data center electricity water grid strain, AI scheming OpenAI ChatGPT, Estonia gut microbiome drugs study, antidepressants beta-blockers proton pump inhibitors benzos, long-term gut health risks cancer Alzheimer's

In this fiery episode of the Opie Radio podcast, Opie dives into the heated controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel's return to ABC after a suspension that sparked a nationwide debate. With clips from Kimmel's pitch-perfect monologue, Opie unpacks the battle over free speech, the First Amendment, and the role of comedians in pushing boundaries. From Trump's threats to sue ABC to the FCC's murky involvement, Opie explores the hypocrisy, corporate pressures, and the importance of standing up for the right to speak—whether you agree with the message or not. Joined by a lively chat, Opie reflects on his own experiences with censorship, calls for common ground, and questions whether Kimmel will defend others' rights when the tables turn. Tune in for a raw, unfiltered take on what makes America great: the freedom to say what you believe, even when it's ugly. Don't miss this explosive discussion—available now on Opie Radio!

Jon Herold dives into a busy Wednesday show, starting with YouTube's half-hearted admission of censorship and why celebrating their limited reinstatements is nothing more than gaslighting. He then unpacks Trump's dramatic pivot on Ukraine, calling Russia a “paper tiger” while hinting at deeper game theory behind the rhetoric—sparking even a bizarre Kremlin response claiming Russia is a “real bear.” From Trump's jabs at NATO and the UN to speculation about leaving both altogether, the episode digs into the global stage, defense stocks, and the new F47 fighter jet. Jon also covers Jimmy Kimmel's emotional apology over Charlie Kirk, the Dallas ICE facility shooting with “anti-ICE” bullets, Secret Service failures at the UN, and a major FOIA release of Detroit's 2020 election records. With sharp commentary on shutdown standoffs, antitrust corruption, and home sales data, Herold ties the day's headlines into the bigger battle over truth, control, and sovereignty.

In this explosive episode of Carnivore Bites, Jeff Sherman and Eric Lopkin pull no punches as they take on the UN's growing irrelevance, Europe's geopolitical decline, and the shifting global balance of power. From Trump's fiery UN address and Macron's diplomatic missteps to the self-inflicted crises undermining Western democracies, the hosts deliver bold, unfiltered commentary on the state of international affairs.The conversation then turns closer to home with a sharp critique of U.S. leadership, including Biden's post-presidential struggles and Kamala Harris's public stumbles. Jeff and Eric dissect the political theater with wit and candor, exposing the deeper issues shaping America's future.Finally, they tackle the white-collar reckoning: AI disruption, collapsing trust in higher education, and the fall of the once-mighty MBA. The hosts reveal why practical skills, adaptability, and real-world experience are overtaking traditional degrees — and what that means for the next generation of workers and entrepreneurs.If you want no-nonsense analysis, fearless opinions, and a raw take on politics, global affairs, and the future of work, this episode is a must-listen.

This push prioritizes energy security, especially for upstream gas developments, and also extends to other development banks to finance fossil fuel projects. The U.S. is also pushing other development banks to finance fossil fuels, including gas pipeline projects, according to FT's sources.  In recent years, the World Bank and many commercial banks have backed out of lending money to some fossil fuels, including coal, oil sands, and Arctic oil and gas. Banks were under intense shareholder and stakeholder pressure to cut their exposure to fossil fuels and align their lending portfolios to the Paris Agreement goals. But the tables have turned with the U.S. Administration strongly promoting fossil fuels and America's dominance in oil and gas exports.  Source: zerohedge.com  https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1970500336075874496   round of powerful tariffs, which would stop the bloodshed very quickly." https://twitter.com/JoeLang51440671/status/1970500635058425949  made appearances side by side at stadium rallies — a big optics boost for two populist leaders with ideological similarities.

In the second episode of our Trade series, Nick and Goldy talk with author Nat Dyer about his book Ricardo's Dream: How Economists Forgot the Real World and Led Us Astray. Dyer reveals how David Ricardo's famous theory of comparative advantage—long touted as proof that free trade is always a win-win—was built on unrealistic assumptions and a false history. They trace how this elegant but misleading model fueled globalization, masked exploitation, and locked nations into centuries of stagnation. From Trump's tariff tantrums to Biden's “small yard, high fence” strategy, their conversation challenges the myths of free trade and asks: when does trade strengthen societies, and when does it doom them to decline? Nat Dyer is a writer and researcher specializing in global political economy and author of the book Ricardo's Dream: How Economists Forgot the Real World and Led Us Astray. He is a Fellow of the Schumacher Institute and the Royal Society of Arts. He has worked for Global Witness and for Promoting Economic Pluralism, and his stories have been reported on by the BBC, the New York Times, and Bloomberg.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: Before we get to the larger news, we're going to start with something very small, or at least something petty, that turns out astonishingly and yet obviously, to be of world historic import. It's in a passage by Ben Smith writing for Semafor. “The Trump administration,” Smith writes, “from the president down to the middle levels of obscure cabinet departments is populated by people whose defining experiences in public life involved being silenced by social platforms. This predates the social media wars of the late 2010s.” Smith continues. “One Trump appointee told me that a radicalizing experience was being booted out of the Gawker comments section way back in the day.” Of course it was. Of course the vicious dullards and bigots who are running the country into ruin are the same people who were being dullards and bigots in the comment section back in the day. From Trump on down, and laterally out through the titans of Silicon Valley and their fascist enthusiasms, this is a political movement built on profoundly unpleasant and unlikable people being furious that they can't make other people like them or respect them.

Chuck Todd unpacks the fallout from Charlie Kirk's assassination and what it means for public displays of democracy, as lawmakers debate whether fear should keep them from showing up for their constituents. He also dives into explosive Senate testimony from former CDC director Dr. Monarez, who detailed political interference in vaccine policy under the Trump administration. The conversation shifts to the economic strain of tariffs and subsidy cuts—driving up everything from prescription drugs to coffee prices—alongside predictions of mass white-collar job losses fueled by AI. From Trump's push to end quarterly earnings reports to the unresolved fight over TikTok, he highlights how politics, economics, and technology are colliding in ways that test both government accountability and public trust.Then, he's joined by former director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Rohit Chopra for a deep dive into the role of the agency and the broader fight to regulate powerful financial institutions. Chopra explains why the agency has struggled to gain footing in Washington, the skepticism the public feels toward banks, and how past regulatory failures contributed to the 2008 financial crisis. They discuss how the CFPB uncovered systemic abuses, the resistance it faces from well-funded interests, and the ongoing debate over who should regulate emerging sectors like cryptocurrency and consumer data.The conversation also tackles the independence of the Federal Reserve, the risks of politicizing monetary policy, and how unchecked corporate power—from Wall Street to Silicon Valley—continues to shape the economy. Chopra pulls back the curtain on algorithmic lending practices, the dangers of personalized pricing, and why fines alone aren't enough to hold companies accountable.

Chuck Todd unpacks the fallout from Charlie Kirk's assassination and what it means for public displays of democracy, as lawmakers debate whether fear should keep them from showing up for their constituents. He also dives into explosive Senate testimony from former CDC director Dr. Monarez, who detailed political interference in vaccine policy under the Trump administration. The conversation shifts to the economic strain of tariffs and subsidy cuts—driving up everything from prescription drugs to coffee prices—alongside predictions of mass white-collar job losses fueled by AI. From Trump's push to end quarterly earnings reports to the unresolved fight over TikTok, he highlights how politics, economics, and technology are colliding in ways that test both government accountability and public trust.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and previews the upcoming weekend in college football.Got injured in an accident?

After 300 episodes of back-and-forth volleys, Brad and David demonstrate the perfect match strategy: serve up the truth, return the nonsense with interest, and always remember that sometimes the best view is from the clubhouse bar.While the world's elites have been double-faulting on everything from COVID responses to foreign policy, Brad and David have been calling the shots with Wimbledon precision. From Trump's power serves to Biden's unforced errors, from the BLM protests' net violations to the Me Too movement's questionable calls, our hosts have provided play-by-play commentary on eight years of political theater. They've watched politicians lob softballs to themselves while completely whiffing on easy volleys, all while the mainstream media kept score like they were being paid by one of the players.The circus of American politics just keeps going to deuce, over and over, with no clear winner except the concession stands.

The Chicks sit down with Ben Shapiro for one of the most unfiltered interviews yet. From Trump's future and whether Gen Z is really lost, to the chaos of the “woke right,” and the lions vs. scavengers analogy that'll make you rethink America's future—nothing is off-limits. They also tackle Tucker and Candace, the anti-Israel narrative flooding the media, and why masculinity still matters in today's culture war.

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck unpacks a whirlwind of economic, geopolitical, and political developments shaping America's future. From Trump's tariffs likely surviving a fast-tracked Supreme Court review to rising fears of stagflation fueled by deportations and trade headwinds, the economic outlook is looking grim. Abroad, Russia escalates the war by sending drones into Polish airspace, while Israel's strike on Hamas in Qatar risks leaving it more isolated on the world stage. Back home, Trump once again rewrites reality, denying ties to Jeffrey Epstein as his allies echo the talking points — raising fresh parallels to Orwell's 1984.He also looks ahead to the Democratic Party's long-term challenges: how can they remain competitive nationally by 2032, when the current path to 270 electoral votes is likely gone? With Georgia and North Carolina emerging as decisive swing states, Democrats will need to expand their map and rethink their message — particularly as the “socialism” label remains toxic to southern voters.Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 states each party should target in order to make them battlegrounds by 2032, and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction01:00 Trump's tariffs likely to stay in place despite expedited court ruling02:15 Trump's team pushed SCOTUS to rule quickly04:00 John Roberts is always hesitant to upset those in power06:00 The bad vibes surrounding the economy look to be right07:15 Economy was facing headwinds, tariffs & deportations make it worse09:30 The conditions for stagflation are forming11:30 Incursion of Russian attack drones into Polish airspace12:15 Putin has escalated the war since Alaska summit with Trump13:45 Israel makes brazen strike on Hamas political wing in Qatar15:45 There's no chance Trump would have approved strike in advance16:45 Strike could further isolate Israel18:00 Israel is a wedge issue amongst the American electorate20:45 Trump goes full George Orwell, denies letter to Epstein 22:00 Trump staffers have been willing to double down on behalf of Trump 23:15 We're living through Orwell's 1984 25:15 Democrats can weaponize Epstein to highlight Trump's dishonesty 27:15 How can Democrats become a competitive national party in 2032? 28:15 By 2032, the current path to 270 won't be there for Democrats 30:00 Georgia and North Carolina will become the most important swing states 31:15 Democrats need to figure out how to expand their path to 270 33:15 The word socialism is toxic to voters in the south 35:15 Democrats will have to rebrand and back off the socialism label38:45 The Toddcast Top 5 - States each party should target as battlegrounds 40:00 Top 5 states Democrats should target 46:30 Top 5 states Republicans should target 51:00 Ask Chuck 51:15 Why be in congress if you have no interest in exercising power? 57:45 Potential democracy reforms that the U.S. could pass? 1:02:00 Was the eugenics movement similar to the current anti-vax movement?

With Georgia and North Carolina emerging as decisive swing states, Democrats will need to expand their map and rethink their message — particularly as the “socialism” label remains toxic to southern voters.Then, political strategist and K-Street veteran Bruce Mehlman joins Chuck to unpack how politics, media, and business have collided in the Trump era and beyond. From the days when three television networks shaped a shared national narrative to today's fractured landscape of Substack newsletters, podcasts, and hyper-partisan social feeds, Mehlman and Chuck explore how the internet broke traditional politics.  They dive into how Washington has become a magnet for American business titans, the sky-high costs of lobbying access to President Trump, and whether bipartisan firms can even survive in the current climate.The conversation then widens to the global stage, connecting the 2008 financial crisis to the populist revolts of Brexit and Trump, and questioning whether the public underestimates just how much globalization has improved daily life. From Trump's reliance on tariffs to the reality-versus-perception debate over crime, immigration, and the economy, Mehlman outlines the policy flashpoints that will shape 2024 and beyond. Plus: what the redistricting wars could mean for democracy, and why some argue the House of Representatives needs to grow in size to reflect America's population.Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 states each party should target in order to make them battlegrounds by 2032, and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction01:00 Trump's tariffs likely to stay in place despite expedited court ruling02:15 Trump's team pushed SCOTUS to rule quickly04:00 John Roberts is always hesitant to upset those in power06:00 The bad vibes surrounding the economy look to be right07:15 Economy was facing headwinds, tariffs & deportations make it worse09:30 The conditions for stagflation are forming11:30 Incursion of Russian attack drones into Polish airspace12:15 Putin has escalated the war since Alaska summit with Trump13:45 Israel makes brazen strike on Hamas political wing in Qatar15:45 There's no chance Trump would have approved strike in advance16:45 Strike could further isolate Israel18:00 Israel is a wedge issue amongst the American electorate20:00 Trump goes full George Orwell, denies letter to Epstein21:15 Trump staffers have been willing to double down on behalf of Trump22:30 We're living through Orwell's 198424:30 Democrats can weaponize Epstein to highlight Trump's dishonesty26:30 How can Democrats become a competitive national party in 2032?27:30 By 2032, the current path to 270 won't be there for Democrats29:15 Georgia and North Carolina will become the most important swing states30:30 Democrats need to figure out how to expand their path to 27032:30 The word socialism is toxic to voters in the south34:30 Democrats will have to rebrand and back off the socialism label39:00 Bruce Mehlman joins the Chuck ToddCast 41:30 Traditional media is forced to "sand the edges"due to political climate 42:15 The internet broke politics and media 43:15 When there were 3 networks, news catered to the entire country 44:45 The energy in media is in the podcast/substack space 45:45 The importance of a varied media diet 47:00 Twitter/X has become incredibly right-wing 48:00 Washington D.C. has become a tent-pole for business titans 49:15 Can bipartisan firms succeed in DC these days? 52:30 How is the "Trump purge" affecting K-Street? 54:15 Lobbying firms with access are charging astronomical rates 55:15 Congress isn't passing legislation, it's all executive orders 56:30 Does Mike Johnson have a go-to shop on K-Street? 58:00 Was Brexit the event that caused this era of global instability? 58:45 Brexit and Trump were downstream of the 2008 financial crisis 1:00:15 The populist revolt was inevitable after the financial crisis 1:02:30 The public takes for granted the benefits of globalisation 1:05:15 Successful western countries haven't compensated for globalisation 1:07:15 The public suffers from recency bias, things are better now 1:09:00 The perception of the economy is the economic reality 1:11:15 People who predict doom are perceived as right and smarter 1:12:45 If SCOTUS takes away Trump's tariff power, will congress restore it? 1:13:45 Trump views tariffs as the solution to every problem 1:16:00 If Trump loses in court on tariffs, he'll just use another law 1:17:15 There's no incentive for Dems to cut a deal due to recissions 1:19:00 If Republicans agree to no recissions, they could find a deal 1:20:15 If legislation passes one chamber, it should force a vote in the other 1:21:15 Fallout from the raid on South Korean workers at the Hyundai plant? 1:23:30 There's support for the "why" of Trump's immigration policy, not the "how" 1:27:15 What pushback to Trump's deployment of troops to cities is most effective? 1:29:30 The perception of crime in cities vs the reality 1:30:45 Downplaying crime is a political loser 1:31:30 Democrats' support for capitalism is falling and socialism is rising 1:33:15 The most important electoral states will be GA, NC and AZ 1:36:15 Socialism is least popular in the states Democrats need in the south 1:38:00 Higher embrace of socialism in cities and amongst younger voters 1:39:45 Thoughts on the redistricting wars? 1:42:00 The size of the house needs to grow with the population1:44:30 Chuck's thoughts on the interview with Bruce Mehlman 1:45:15 The Toddcast Top 5 - States each party should target as battlegrounds 1:46:30 Top 5 states Democrats should target 1:53:00 Top 5 states Republicans should target 1:57:30 Ask Chuck 1:57:45 Why be in congress if you have no interest in exercising power? 2:04:15 Potential democracy reforms that the U.S. could pass? 2:08:30 Was the eugenics movement similar to the current anti-vax movement?

In this episode, we dive into the tangled web of politics, scandals, and selective outrage surrounding Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Over the weekend, Speaker Mike Johnson came out swinging—arguing that Trump not only distanced himself from Epstein early on but even cooperated with the FBI in efforts to expose him. Johnson emphasized Trump's compassion for Epstein's victims and his frustration that Democrats are now weaponizing the issue for political gain, despite doing nothing with Epstein records during Biden's DOJ tenure. But the story doesn't stop there. Confusion over whether Trump was technically an “FBI informant,” Democrats claiming they've finally found a “gotcha,” and Trump's own camp overhyping promised Epstein document dumps that fell flat have all combined into what some are calling a self-inflicted wound. The president maintains he has “clean hands,” yet critics argue the messaging has been muddled and politically costly. We also spotlight how Democrats and their media allies exploit these scandals to distract from their failures—while conveniently ignoring new revelations in the Epstein files. And just when you thought it couldn't get stranger, we break down a top-10 national headline claiming global warming is making Americans crave more sugar and ice cream. That's right—the same crowd warning of hurricanes, rising seas, and climate collapse now wants you to believe your dessert habits are part of the climate crisis.

Donald Trump made headlines again with an AI-generated “Apocalypse Now” meme targeting Chicago — and the media immediately claimed he was threatening war. Todd breaks down what Trump really meant, why Chicago's leaders oppose National Guard support, and how crime-ridden cities continue to reject real solutions.Todd also exposes the left's sudden obsession with Trump's age — after years of covering up Biden's very real cognitive decline. He reminds listeners that Biden's struggles were obvious as far back as 2020, yet power brokers and media elites buried the truth until they could no longer hide it.We also revisit HR 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which is still just a few signatures short of forcing a vote, and spotlight a communist candidate running for mayor of New York City. Even CNN's Abby Phillip couldn't make sense of his push for government-run grocery stores.Finally, Todd takes aim at the White House's review of Smithsonian exhibits, warning that history is being weaponized into leftist propaganda designed to undermine patriotism. He shares a personal story from Jamestown to show how subtle narratives rewrite America's past.From Trump's meme wars to propaganda in museums, this episode calls out hypocrisy, exposes corruption, and makes the case for law, truth, and real American history.Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Show Sponsors: https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODD Red, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.SolTea – Heart health made simple.

Joining us is E.M.

Using his experience in counterinsurgency, brain health research, and global security operations, he'll help listeners understand how societal engineering, ideological pressure, and policy decisions are converging to create real-world consequences across the nation. Todays show goes beyond the headlines to connect action with analysis. From Trump's patrols in D.C. to the psychological and cultural impacts of America's ongoing revolution, listeners will gain a unique perspective on leadership, social dynamics, and the strategies citizens can use to protect their communities.

Burlingame's expert insights illuminating the systemic forces at play, this episode provides not just reporting, but a clear framework for understanding and engaging with the rapidly evolving cultural and security landscape in America.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meet in Alaska for the first time. From Trump's commanding stance on the runway to the viral handshake and perfectly timed B-52 flyover, the summit was full of symbolism. Putin even admitted the Ukraine war may not have started if Trump had been president.

Trump biographer Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles for a scathing examination of Donald Trump's summit with Vladimir Putin—and the shadow of Jeffrey Epstein that's cast over the entire affair. From Trump's failed promises to release Epstein's files, to his floundering attempts at deal-making in Ukraine, Wolff reveals how distraction, denial, and deference to Putin define Trump's playbook. With insider texts, sharp analysis, and vivid accounts of the theatrics on the world stage, this episode unpacks the haunting ties between Trump, Russia, and Epstein—and what it all means for America's future. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Foreign policy insider David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles for a blistering deep-dive into Donald Trump's high-stakes summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska—and the dangerous implications for Ukraine, Europe, and global security.

With insider accounts, sharp analysis, and startling parallels to past encounters, this episode unpacks how one man's insecurities and ambitions could shape the fate of nations. Hosted on Acast.

America's sweetheart - or the face of a quiet eugenics campaign? In this episode, we unpack the new Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle ad that's been praised by the right as a return to “traditional American values” — and why it has people whispering about the Great Replacement Theory. From Trump chiming in to say he “loves it” to online conservatives treating Sydney like the poster girl for “healthy, white motherhood,” we explore how fashion branding becomes soft propaganda, how the ad taps into white nationalist aesthetics, and why it's never just denim.
