Podcast appearances and mentions of Kirsten Gillibrand

Pair that with Jon Stewart's interview of John Fetterman, where Stewart calmly walked him to the admission that support for Israel is the line. Agreement on nearly everything else does not matter if a Democrat breaks on that one. Meanwhile Zohran Mamdani ran on affordability and taxing the rich and won. That is the pattern across these races, and it keeps getting explained as anything other than candidates listening to voters. Then Wisconsin. Francesca Hong lost a very close primary to David Crowley, who would be the first Black governor in the state's history. Hawk's frustration is with the response already appearing in comments, that the winner now has to earn a vote in November. The primary was that. Whoever the nominee is, the alternative in Wisconsin and in Texas is the Republican.

AIPAC is one of the biggest spenders in American politics. This year, it could backfire. This episode was produced by Denise Guerra and Peter Balonon-Rosen, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Gabriel Dunatov, engineered by Patrick Boyd and David Tatasciore, and hosted by Noel King. Pro-Palestinian Jewish American demonstrators rally outside the Manhattan headquarters of pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, who accept donations from the group, in 2024.

This started in April, when Piker appeared at a campaign event with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and El-Sayed climbed in the polls. Third Way then organized a denunciation with members of Congress. Zohran Mamdani ran on free buses, cheaper housing, childcare, groceries, and taxing the rich, and most New York Democrats still would not endorse him. Hawk connects that to Kirsten Gillibrand's language about Mamdani after the primary. Third Way now plans 15 million dollars against Democrats who have already won their primaries. Not against Republicans.

Troy Jackson has the delegates in Maine, Amish Shah beat the DCCC in Arizona, and Michigan votes August 4. The party endorsement is now a liability.Arizona was the only state holding a primary this month, and it delivered the story of the summer. Amish Shah won the Democratic nomination in Arizona's 1st Congressional District over the candidate the DCCC spent real money to boost. Brian Derrick and Glennis Meagher walk through why this might be happening, from Randy Villegas in California to Matt Dunlap in Maine, and what it means when the national party's blessing starts reading as a potential scarlet letter.Up in Maine, Troy Jackson has locked up the delegates to replace Graham Platner on the ballot against Susan Collins, and he is this week's Oath Candidate of the Week. A fifth generation logger who got into politics organizing his fellow loggers against a Canadian labor swap, Jackson starts from zero with a nominating convention set for July 25. Brian explains why this is one of the rare Senate races where an early contribution actually moves something.Then it's Michigan, where Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed are twelve days from an August 4 primary that has pulled in roughly $50 million in outside spending, including the largest single race investment AIPAC has ever made. Plus Pete Hegseth on the Hill pricing the Iran war at $37.5 billion while asking for tens of billions more, Kirsten Gillibrand pressing him on why a supposedly decimated Iran is still killing American service members, and the drone company investments Joe Rogan Googled live on his own show.Also this week: a rapid fire Clickbait or Double Click on the Cyclospora outbreak and your Crunchwrap Supreme, the Tate brothers' arrest in Miami, and Zohran Mamdani's viral Netanyahu video.

Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) released an amended draft of the Clarity Act on Wednesday (July 22), saying it includes a ban on federal officials issuing or sponsoring digital assets and that she aims to reach a deal with Democratic senators within days. Soon after, The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) has formally informed the Senate that it opposes the Clarity Act, a crypto-focused bill that has drawn scrutiny from regional banks and small business advocates. ~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~ Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBN Use Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts! 00:10 Sponsor: Tangem 00:30 Clarity Bill Finally Released 00:50 Countdown 01:10 Polymarket whiplash 01:30 No Stablecoin Yield Ban 02:15 Bank Lobby Attacks 03:15 Dems say they are not happy... but will continue 04:20 Fox Business: Lummis losing hope 06:30 Elizabeth Warren vs Brian Armstrong fight on twitter  07:15 Gillibrand corruption 08:10 Patrick Witt: Everyone is understating an enormous concession 09:40 Patrick McHenry reality check 10:30 Bullshit Stock Trading bill passed 11:00 Budget bill passed 11:20 Vote next week 11:30 Bearish take of Senate vote math 13:40 Alsobrooks posturing again 14:20 Even Republicans are postering 14:30 Figure launches DeFi business lending 14:50 ETH God Candle Incoming? 15:20 Samsung announces stablecoins 16:15 Nothing stops this train #Crypto #Ethereum #Solana ~CLARITY Bill Released

Agency rents Town of Newburgh warehouse Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer demanded on Wednesday (July 22) that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security disclose whether a Town of Newburgh warehouse is being leased for Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees. In a letter to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the New York senators said that the department and ICE's $35.5 million, 15-year lease of a 42,377-square-foot warehouse at 800 Corporate Blvd "has generated significant concern" among residents and local officials "due to the lack of transparency." The General Services Administration approved the lease after seeking space in Newburgh with "secure access into [the] building for deliveries by government vehicles, including detainee buses and vans." The agency identified DHS and ICE as the tenant, but the agency refused to confirm its use of the location, citing concerns about officer safety. Gillibrand and Schumer listed 16 questions (below) they want Mullin to answer, including whether the facility will be used for the "detention, temporary holding, processing, transportation or transfer of individuals in federal custody." They requested a response by Aug. 7. What is the intended use of the facility located at 800 Corporate Boulevard in Newburgh, New York, and what operations will DHS and ICE conduct at this site? Please list every DHS component, contractor and program expected to use the property. What is the expected timeline for the facility becoming operational, and what steps remain before DHS and ICE begin using the site? Please identify any remaining approvals, construction, tenant improvements, permits or other conditions that must be completed before occupancy. Please provide the lease, occupancy agreement, solicitation, program of requirements, statement of work, improvement plans, security requirements, and all associated contracts and subcontracts. Please identify the lessor and beneficial owners, all operating contractors, the appropriations accounts funding the lease and operations, the annual rent and improvement costs, and the total estimated lifecycle costs. Who approved the project, when was it approved and what operational needs is it intended to address? Is the project aimed at increasing detention capacity in New York, supporting increased enforcement operations in New York, expanding the operations of ICE Air, or supporting a broader regional deportation plan? Will the facility be used for the detention, temporary holding, processing, transportation, or transfer of individuals in federal custody? Please provide details regarding the scope and duration of these activities. For each contemplated use, please provide the following: (1) Maximum physical and operational capacity; (2) Projected average daily population; (3) Projected annual throughput; (4) Anticipated opening date and hours of operations; (5) Maximum intended length of stay; (6) Whether people will be held overnight; (7) Whether DHS will publicly report these specific statistics periodically. Please confirm if the facility will hold the following: (1) Families or children; (2) Unaccompanied children; (3) Pregnant or postpartum individuals (4) People with medical or mental health conditions; (5) People with disabilities. Please confirm if the property will provide (1) Free and confidential telephone access; (2) Confidential attorney meeting rooms; (3) Consular access; (4) Visitation; (5) Access to legal materials. Please identify the precise detention standards governing the site. Have you contemplated, requested or granted any waiver, variance, or delayed compliance with any detention, safety, security, medical care, hygiene or other standard? Will Members of Congress, congressional staff and DHS oversight personnel receive unannounced access to this facility? What access will be provided to state and local government, health or emergency officials? Will the facility support ICE Air operations, domestic detainee-transfer flig...

The polling is the throughline. A new American Research Group poll puts Trump's approval at 30 percent against 67 percent disapproval, below the mark where George W. Bush left office, while the Iran war itself draws just 29 percent approval. Hawk pairs that with a rising US service member death toll, now four killed at a base in Jordan, and Jason Crow's blunt assessment that Americans are done with endless Middle East conflict. From there Hawk moves fast through the day's stories: a measles case count surging past 2,295, the highest in 35 years, Trump's super PAC reportedly hoarding 400 million while not funding GOP candidates, new tariffs on Canada and generic drugs, Medicaid payments cut to California and Minnesota, cabinet members joining TikTok, Andy Biggs winning the Arizona GOP nomination, and plans for Lindsey Graham to lie in state.

Molly stood in the back of a Maine town hall, watching an oyster farmer from Sullivan hold a room with no notes, and texted her kids that they might be looking at the state's next senator. On Monday morning, her algorithm fed her story after story about the same man — now a loser, a liar, a warning. This episode lives in the space between those two feeds, because as Molly puts it in the first fifteen seconds: a crisis begins before the headlines. By the time the video goes viral, the conditions were already in place.The headline version is everywhere. Politico published Jenny Racicot's account days before the Maine primary, and within 24 to 48 hours the Maine Democratic Party, the DSCC, Chuck Schumer, and Kirsten Gillibrand had pulled the floor out, with a deadline to withdraw by 5 p.m. on July 13. Everyone is covering the allegation. Molly is covering the response — the "own it, explain it, promise it" playbook that carried Graham Platner through a Nazi tattoo and a Reddit dating-app wave, and the exact moment he traded it for the one move that never survives contact: deny, attack, and blame the press.Two things can be true at once — five things can be true at once. Molly believes Jenny Racicot, and she refuses to throw out the lesson of a candidate who filled rooms by speaking to people's pain. Accountability works because it is self-initiated; it cannot work cornered, and it cannot work twice. And underneath all of it sits the vetting nobody ran — the same three-day shortcut that gave us George Santos, Herschel Walker, and Matt Gaetz.Chapters:0:00 — A Crisis Begins Before the Headlines0:27 — The Algorithm-Packaged Candidate2:21 — The Tattoo, the Reddit Wave, and the Accountability Candidate3:25 — The Politico Story: Jenny Racicot's Account5:47 — Bottom Line Up Front: Why Molly Believes Her7:39 — Primary O'Clock: Operatives and the Establishment9:36 — "It Was Electric": Molly in the Room11:26 — Own It, Explain It, Promise It: Why It Worked the First Time13:39 — The Marine Who Spoke to Pain16:56 — The Vetting Nobody Ran18:18 — 24 to 48 Hours: The Institutional Collapse and a July 13 Deadline20:06 — Amy Gertner's Video and the Confidence That Leaked22:52 — The Flag: Blaming the Press Instead of the Story26:05 — "Troubling, Serious and False": The Denial That Called Her a Liar29:42 — The Al Franken Mistake32:01 — Three-Day Vetting: Santos, Walker, Gaetz34:37 — Where Do You Allow the Three-Day Vetting?36:07 — "Anyone Who Works for a Living": The Line Worth Keeping

President Trump arriving in Ankara, Turkey on Tuesday for a high-stakes NATO summit. Senior administration officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, are traveling with the president. He will also meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. Leaders from NATO's 32 member states are expected to review progress on defense spending commitments and burden-sharing goals.Democratic leaders are calling for Graham Platner to exit the race after an allegation of sexual assault. Platner is the embattled Democratic nominee facing incumbent Senator Susan Collins. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand are now asking him to step down. Maine's Democratic Party leadership is also calling on Platner to withdraw, and the Senate Majority PAC announced it is redirecting resources away from the race. The deadline for candidates to drop out with time for the party to replace a nominee is July 13th.Severe thunderstorms across parts of the United States have knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of customers. More than 373,000 homes and businesses were without electricity on Monday as strong winds, heavy rain, and storm damage affected several regions. Pennsylvania was among the hardest-hit states, with more than 50,000 outages reported. Utility crews continue repairs as some areas recover from the severe weather.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) NATO allies unveiled billions in defense industry deals to buy next-generation drones and surveillance planes as allies attempt to convince President Trump that Europe is heeding his spending demands ahead of the NATO Summit. Eleven countries will buy airborne radar-detection systems from Swedish aerospace firm Saab AB, replacing a US-made Boeing Co model, in a deal worth $5 billion. Allies will invest more than $40 billion in counter-drone capabilities over the next five years, according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.2) Maine Democrat Graham Platner is under pressure to end his bid for a US Senate seat following a sexual assault allegation he has denied. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand called on Platner to step aside and vowed to cut off the party's funding for him if he stays on the ballot. Several Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Ro Khanna, have withdrawn their endorsements of Platner and urged him to leave the race, citing the "troubling and deeply serious" allegations against him.3) Team USA’s run in the World Cup came to an end as it failed to make the quarterfinals, losing 4-1 to Belgium. Outrage over FIFA’s decision to allow striker Folarin Balogun to play continued to simmer after the organization reversed his one-game ban. The reversal sparked outrage across the world, with UEFA calling it “incomprehensible and unjustifiable” and accusing FIFA of crossing “a red line."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do we fight back? This week on Gaslit Nation, Tad Stoermer, author of A Resistance History of the United States, explains how true resistance is built by communities like ours. Looking at the Underground Railroad and the French Resistance, Stoermer digs deep on what Gaslit Nation has said for years: grassroots power is the most reliable power we have left. Small acts of individual resistance compound into collective awakening.  Today's localized protests against ICE in Minneapolis and Delaney Hall are the true making of a great America. Our story is a story of progress, and white reactionary blood lust. MAGA are the vampires that have long sucked on human flesh. They're back in the forms of Big Tech wannabe-cyborgs and craven weirdos. Simply put, they're slimy creepers, the strongmen who have always lived by spilling blood.  We have grassroots power, but now we need to build political power through elected officials who meet the moment, not take money from AIPAC and crypto trust funds. There is no substitute for political power. Communities like Gaslit Nation build together.  That's our Declaration of Independence. This week's bonus show, out Thursday, will look at Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's crypto threat to our country as she enriches her family like a corrupt Russian politician. We'll also demand justice for the Prairieland Defendants – activists sentenced to 30 to 100 years in prison for protesting. Harsh sentences to punish the people ignited our Founding Fathers to build militias. Demand unconditional pardons for our Prairieland Defendants – we must reverse and heal the damage of Trump fascism.  Join our Gaslit Nation community on Patreon.com/Gaslit or GaslitNation.Substack.com – get bonus shows, ad free listening, exclusive events, and more.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has pushed to cap medicare costs for seniors. She introduced legislation to create a $5,000 cap on out of pocket costs for medicare users. She said this legislation will protect low income users and shield seniors from rising costs. New York City expanded its free swim program. It teaches kids water safety, and is now almost doubled in size, going from 10 pools to 18. Giuliana Guarracino's WFUV went to one of the city's pools to learn more. Senator Richard Blumenthal is going after the energy provider, Eversource. Blumenthal said the company wants to increase rates for customers. This bill would cap executive employee bonuses in years where utility rates increased faster than rate of inflation. WFUV's Mia Barth sat down with Bernie Wagenblast, the voice of the New York Subway, to talk about her career and story.

Hawk addresses the establishment's attempt to frame the losses as a product of antisemitism, pointing out that the three congressional districts involved contain some of the largest Jewish populations of any districts in the country, meaning Jewish voters themselves rejected the AIPAC-backed candidates in large numbers. He plays a clip of Joe Scarborough's reaction and walks through an Axios report on moderate Democrats describing the results as an earthquake. Hawk also covers New York Attorney General Letitia James expressing disappointment in Mamdani, and plays a clip of New Jersey Congressman Josh Gottheimer going on Fox News to attack the results and conflate criticism of Israel's policies in Gaza with antisemitism.

Some of the most interesting conversations I've had on this show are the ones where I'm actually talking to a peer — someone who's been doing this work at the same time I have, in the same city, navigating the same chaos.That's this episode.Deirdre Walsh has been covering Capitol Hill since 2006 — CNN first, then NPR, now NOTUS, where she's helping lead a newsroom that is genuinely doing something different. I've known Deirdre for years, and this is one of those conversations where I kept thinking: more people should hear this.We got into a lot of things. How being a parent changed the stories she pitched — when Congress was debating a social media bill and she was simultaneously fighting her teenager about Discord, she knew that story from the inside in a way no briefing book could give her. The camaraderie of the Capitol Hill press corps — the informal COVID pool, the shared files, the reporter-to-reporter trust that outsiders almost never see. The shrinking number of members she can trust not to spin her, and why that matters more than it might seem.And a few things that surprised even me. There is a pickleball court on the fifth floor of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Ted Cruz plays basketball there. Kirsten Gillibrand plays tennis. The Pickleball Caucus has converted it twice a week. I did not know this.But the story I keep thinking about is the STOCK Act loophole she cracked in 2012. She covered the bill for months. A source offhandedly mentioned that the House and Senate were interpreting the rules differently. She started pulling on that thread with her colleague Dana Bash. What they found: one chamber's interpretation let congressional spouses trade on insider knowledge without ever having to disclose it. They reported it. Congress closed the loophole a few days later. “You always dream of making Congress react to your reporting,” she said. That's the dream and she lived it.The advice she carries from her first job — watching Judy Woodruff prepare — is simple: do the work you can control. Be ready. Then adjust.That one lands.

On June 5, 1967, as part of the 6 Day War, Israel displaced more than 300,000 Palestinians in what is know as Naksa. The Palestinian Rights Committee and others rallied on Friday outside the federal O'Brien Building to protest Senators Schumer and Gillibrand's support for the ongoing genocide by Israel, even as many other Senate Democrats have voted against continuing to send weapons and funds to Israel. We hear from Eyad Alkurabi of the Palestinian Rights Committee, retired Union professor Daniel Mosquera, and Mark Mishler of Jewish Voice for Peace. By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

On Friday, June 5th, the Palestinian Rights Committee and others are holding a Naksa Day Rally for Palestine at 11:30 AM at the Federal O'Brien Building at Pearl and Clinton Ave. in Albany. Naska refers to June 5th, 1967, when more than 300,000 Palestinians were displaced during its 6 Day War. The rally will protest Senators Schumer and Gillibrand for their ongoing support of Israel's genocide taking place in Gaza. Keren Carmeli of Jewish Voice for Peace talks with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Dean Karayanis, columnist for the New York Sun, welcomes back his half-Greek writing partner from the Rush Limbaugh Show and former producer of The Drudge Report, George “Koko” Prayias for a fun look at the world's serious issues. The episode debuts “One-and-a-Half Greeks” new theme song. It's a little bit country, but the show is all Rock and Roll. The discussion covers the left's embrace of Tax Day and hiking taxes on “the rich,” in the person of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Democrats used to stay quiet on this day because America was built on a tax rebellion, but they've changed the electorate and now it's a holiday — even though Americans will work for the government this year from January 1 to April 26, projected as Tax-Freedom Day. The war in Iran illustrates another break with the past, as Senators Schumer, Gillibrand, and Fetterman all find themselves targeted by the ascendant antisemite, socialist wing of their party. Swalwell is an indication that they will take down anyone who gets in their way, aiming the same anger at old-school Democrats that they once reserved for Republicans. Even Pope Leo, who George — as a life-long Catholic — laments is a “Chicago Machine Pope,” has decided to go all-in on the global effort to halt Trump's agenda and rein in America. That this puts them on the side of the terrorist regime in Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah doesn't embarrass them. But at least the fiction that the groups aren't all one in the same has been exposed by the ayatollahs' own admission.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand says she wants to stop President Trump from putting his face and name on government property. She's introduced a bill that would bar using a sitting president's name, image, likeness, or signature to decorate or designate federal property or currency. Mayor Zohran Mamdani is still advocating for a plan to raise taxes on the rich. Mamdani and leading economists held a forum discussing inequality they say is driven by a failure to tax people with extreme wealth. WFUV's Mia Barth reports. New Yorkers might have to start sorting their own mail and taking out their own trash. That's because doormen, superintendents and other residential workers have voted to authorize a strike starting Monday if their demands are not met.

The Hassan Piker litmus test being pushed by Third Way president Jonathan Cowan includes a letter sent directly to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, pressuring him to cut ties with Piker before planned college campus rallies. Hawk calls out this move as a political threat from an unelected think tank trying to dictate who Democratic candidates are allowed to campaign with. The Bulwark columnist Lauren Egan and journalist Andrew Perez of Zeteo both weighed in on the controversy, as did Bulwark contributor Tim Miller, whose livestream defense of common sense over factional infighting drew backlash from AIPAC-aligned media. Hawk also draws direct parallels to the treatment of Zohran Mamdani after his New York City Democratic primary win, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's widely condemned response to it. Third Way openly declared it will be the chief opponent of the left in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, targeting Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and abolishing ICE. Hawk argues that an organization spending tens of millions against its own party base, rather than against Republicans, reveals exactly who controls the Democratic Party and why so many progressive voters feel politically homeless.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers admitting a disturbing connection to Jeffrey Epstein, one House Democrat rebuking another for blatant election mischief, and several Senate Democrats already weighing White House bids for 2028.First, they are disgusted as former Clinton administration Treasury Secretary Larry Summers says he is "deeply ashamed" for maintaining a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein long after Epstein was known for trafficking girls. Summers now plans to withdraw from public life. He reportedly asked Epstein for advice on pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he was supposedly mentoring. Jim argues that it is important this information is public and that Summers should go away.Next, they applaud Washington Rep. Marie Glusenkamp Perez for leading an effort to rebuke fellow Democrat Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia for announcing his retirement on the same day as the filing deadline for his seat in Congress. This leaves Garcia's chief of staff as the only Democrat in the race. Jim notes that the party that claims to be protecting democracy repeatedly shows contempt for it through stunts like this.Finally, Jim vents about the nine Senate Democrats clearly or potentially positioning themselves for a 2028 presidential run. He says none of them appear likely to be competitive, but that will not stop several of them from jumping into the race anyway.Please visit our great sponsors:Cancel unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money at https://RocketMoney.com/MARTINI Stop putting off those doctors' appointments and go to https://ZocDoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. 

Zohran Mamdani has won the 2025 New York City mayoral race, with a higher turnout of voters than New York has seen in decades. This despite the fact that New York's senators — Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand — did not back Mamdani, and House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries waited until the day before early voting began to endorse the Democratic nominee.Mamdani's divided party support reflects an intensifying argument over whether Democratic candidates must move closer to the political center  - or further away - in order to win. Brooke speaks with Elliott Morris, a journalist, statistician, and author of the data-driven news website Strength in Numbers, about what the numbers say around moderation and why it might not be the silver bullet Democratic strategists seemed to crave.Further reading:Moderation is not a silver bullet, by Elliott MorrisThe Strategist's Fallacy in American politics, by Elliott Morris  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.
