Ravi Gupta and former Congressman Max Rose, Senior Advisor to VoteVets, break down the political fallout from Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, as Abdul El-Sayed's victory exposes growing tensions within the Democratic Party ahead of a critical general election battle. They analyze what the results mean for Democrats in key battleground states, the strategic challenges emerging in races across Wisconsin, Texas, Arizona, and beyond, and how both parties are positioning themselves for 2026. Ravi and Max also dive into the latest turmoil inside the Republican Party, as GOP senators rally behind Todd Blanche despite lingering concerns, while new allegations against Rep. Max Miller put Republican leaders under renewed scrutiny. Plus, they discuss whether America should rethink its role in the Middle East as Trump's foreign policy continues to reshape the debate.

Rep. Max Miller remains defiant in the face of a growing chorus of calls for him to step down amid abuse allegations, which he denies. And he is not the only Republican congressman facing allegations and an investigation. All of it has anxiety spiking in the GOP for fears they could lose seats because of mounting scandals and potentially, control of the House. Plus, new details on a man arrested outside a Trump golf course in California. Authorities say he was armed, days before the president was set to arrive there.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Democrats just nominated left-wing populist Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan Senate race. Yet his victory was razor close, suggesting he faces big challenges ahead. What's his theory of the case? In his victory speech and in remarks to reporters, El-Sayed offered clues. He described Trumpism as a fusion of the “worst” of neoconservatism and of MAGA, an apt description of the horrors Trump has created. He cast his GOP opponent as a Trump bootlicker, essentially saying this is what Trump demands of his party. And he juxtaposed Trumpism with the ethnic diversity of his coalition and with the immigrant heritage of himself and his children, an effective indictment of Trumpian white-nationalism. Is this enough? We talked to Ron Brownstein, senior political analyst at CNN and columnist for Bloomberg Opinion. We discuss El-Sayed's many challenges in the general, how he absolutely can assemble a winning coalition, and what he's learned from Barack Obama's understanding of American politics.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Speaker Mike Johnson sits down with Dasha for a wide-ranging interview as Republicans fight to hold onto the House majority. Dasha presses Johnson on why voters remain unhappy with the economy despite Republican promises, whether rising gas prices and the conflict with Iran could derail the GOP's midterm hopes, and why he believes Republicans can overcome decades of history working against the president's party. Dasha asks Johnson about his relationship with President Trump – questioning whether he ever tells the president "no" and why Senate Majority Leader John Thune appears more willing to publicly push back. Johnson also addresses the mounting allegations against Rep. Max Miller and weighs in on what Abdul El-Sayed's victory says about the direction of the Democratic Party. Have thoughts for the show?

Abdul El-Sayed is the Democrats' Senate nominee — but the race was far closer than any poll indicated after landslide mail vote from Detroit. Mark Mitchell helps ask the question: Just what happened here? Did the Democrat establishment try to stuff ballots against their own left-wing insurgents? And does El-Sayed's win give Mike Rogers a strong chance in the Great Lakes State? Plus, Sara Kleiner explains why permanent Standard Time is superior to permanent DST.

Last week saw the reemergence of Donald Trump as he pushed the Big Lie from Mar A Lago and the GOP leadership forced its members to get in line or get out of the way. Liz Cheney tried to push back but found herself in the crosshairs of Kevin McCarthy who instead of moving on from the election has made it the central theme of the GOP. Meanwhile, the SDNY has found itself with a treasure trove of dirt inside Rudy Giuliani's hard drive. Could their appointing of a so called, “Special Master,” to sort through files be a sign that they're getting ready to flip Trump's other former lawyer? Finally, MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart joins Mea Culpa to discuss the GOP's sidelining of Liz Cheney, what happened to Tim Scott and so much more.To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policyLearn more about your ad choices.

You need to see this before Wisconsin decides who runs the state. Francesca Hong, the socialist Democrat front-runner for governor, once called for canceling Thanksgiving as a celebration of colonialism and the “original superspreader event.” When CNN asked her straight up if she still believes that, she couldn't just say no. Instead she served up nearly a minute of word salad about being a chef, bringing people to the table, and how Thanksgiving is “incredibly painful for many people in our communities.” Views can evolve, she said — while never actually walking it back. This is the same candidate who has also claimed the service industry is rooted in white supremacy and that tipping itself is racist because it has “kept wages low for black people.” Pat also covered: Trump declares he's done with Iran after the latest attacks. James Talarico tries to prove he's a “real man” after the low-T hits. Nick Shirley on the ground in Ceuta as the migrant invasion hits Spain. Chuck Schumer gets pressed on the DSA's rise inside the Democrat Party. Day 53: Mitch McConnell still missing in action. Does this sound like someone who understands Wisconsin or someone who looks down on it? Have you ever met anyone who genuinely thinks Thanksgiving should be canceled or that tipping is racist?

The “conservative movement” is walking us all into a trap. While everyone is distracted by Democrat primary drama, liberal Republicans and corporate interests are quietly taking over the reddest states in the nation because all of the self-proclaimed leaders on the right continue to ignore primaries — or worse, endorse the wrong candidates. I bring to life the disastrous lack of focus on GOP primaries and building up red-state political infrastructure, specifically looking at the Kansas and Missouri results last night. Then, retired Marine Corps colonel and Wyoming gubernatorial candidate Brent Bien joins the show to expose what is happening in America's most conservative state. Bien outlines his grassroots fight against the massive influx of data centers, green energy land-grabs, Flock camera surveillance, and lingering vaccine mandates. If we don't fight the fire in our own house, we won't have a red-state sanctuary left to defend. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Democrats may have handed Republicans a major opportunity heading into the midterms, but the biggest question is whether the GOP will actually capitalize. From voter concerns to the issues shaping November's election battle, Republicans have several advantages — but turning momentum into victory will require discipline and execution.

Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat, has clinched his party's nomination in Michigan. Republicans couldn't have asked for a better present. FOX News Columnist David Marcus and Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN) join Will to explain the implications of El-Sayed's victory, as well as weigh in on an Obama-appointed judge trying to stop Haitian migrants from returning to their country and whether the GOP is currently doing enough to address affordability concerns.Plus, Will, David, and The Crew take a look at the 6'3 transgender athlete from France who could be the WNBA's next big star, and one Yale law professor's proposal to “weight” the votes of young people.Subscribe to ‘Will Cain Country' on YouTube here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Will Cain Country!⁠⁠⁠Follow ‘Will Cain Country' on X (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), Instagram (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), TikTok (⁠⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠⁠), and Facebook (⁠⁠⁠@WillCainNews)Follow Will on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@WillCain Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmDemocratic leaders have been delivered a thrashing from the left this primary season. So naturally, the lesson they took from it is that they should…fund Trump's crooked government before the election he's trying to steal?In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss: * The deal Democrats struck with Susan Collins to avoid a pre-midterms government shutdown;* What Democrats could have demanded that might have won back respect from their voters while either a) making the election more secure, or drawing national attention to the GOP's intent to cheat;* Why establishment Democrats didn't want this fight; but neither, apparently, did leaders of the left-insurgent faction.Then, if after all this, there's such little appetite in the party for procedural hardball, should we have any hope at all? Would a Democratic trifecta in 2029 simply not make any structural changes to U.S. democracy? If so, would progressives be better off trying to work with GOP extremists now to abolish the filibuster while Republicans are still in power? Will a mainline figure emerge who unites the party, holds Republicans accountable, and leads the country back to normalish politics? Or is it horseshoes all the way down?Answers are available in full to listeners and viewers on YouTube.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze the much closer-then-expected Michigan U.S. Senate primary win for socialist Abdul El-Sayed, how radical Pete Buttigieg's presidential agenda would be, Arizona's Democrat governor picking a Republican running mate, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom ranting about the end of democracy if Democrats don't win in November.First, they react to the very close win for El-Sayed over Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan. The polls predicted a blowout. The narrow win boosts the odds for GOP nominee Mike Rogers, who narrowly lost in 2024. But Greg warns that Republicans have to turn out in huge numbers for Rogers to win.Next, they recoil as Pete Buttigieg tells Politico about his plans for radical change and incremental change if he's elected president in 2028. Jim and Greg detail just how insane Buttigieg's agenda is but point out the media will still call him a moderate because he doesn't yell much.Then, they discuss Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs picking an anti-Trump Republican as her running mate. Jim explains why this is a sign of weakness for Hobbs. Jim and Greg also discuss whether Republicans will have an edge in border states like Texas and Arizona because people remember how bad illegal immigration was just a couple of years ago.Finally, they tell Gov. Newsom to calm down after he claimed Republicans killed the Constitution and democracy will die if his party does not win in November.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

As President Trump continues to make his crackdown on fraud a priority for his administration, leading Republican voices are following suit. A group of GOP senators have introduced a bill that would make committing fraud a deportable offense. Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn joins the Rundown to discuss the importance of identifying and rooting out these crimes, as well as her bid to be the Volunteer State's next governor. Foreign adversaries are escalating cyberattacks against American critical infrastructure, with recent Iranian-backed attempts targeting municipal water treatment facilities across multiple states. Cybersecurity expert and CEO and Founder of the National Center for Open and Unsolved Cases Morgan Wright joins to discuss the mechanics of these intrusions, the psychological strategy behind targeting power and water systems, and how Russian intelligence operations are exploiting hotel Wi-Fi networks and consumer smart devices. PLUS, commentary by Kristen Waggoner is CEO, president, and general counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom. PHOTO CREDIT: AP IMAGES Learn more about your ad choices.

We're kicking things off in the Dumpster Fire Corner, where the GOP has apparently decided the best way to distract from a failed Iran war, a military running low on weapons, the Epstein files, and an affordability crisis nobody in Congress seems to be fixing is to dust off Anthony Fauci and blame him for the pandemic. Again. But for our main discussion, we're bidding adieu to summer with a nostalgic chat about summer travel, childhood vacations, and affordability. New data says a majority of Americans are scaling back this summer, with cost — gas, groceries, hotels, all of it — driving people toward day trips or just staying home altogether. But weirdly, road trips themselves are booming, with Hertz reporting a huge chunk of Americans planning to hit the road this year, many of them chasing America's 250th anniversary with Route 66, Boston, and Freedom Trail itineraries. Recs this week include a case for solo travel, the Travle.earth app and Raddle Quest for your next trip planning obsession, and a gentle nudge to protect your mental health by muting triggering keywords on social media.

Get ready for an explosive, comprehensive breakdown of today's biggest political scandals!

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin team up to fight the forces of injustice, chaos, and general stupidity. Has Jeanine Pirro been sent to the bottom of the Donald K. Trump Kafka Khaki reflecting pool yet? Jeanine might have bought herself some time by literally carting over evidence to force the old man to look at before it's shipped to some undisclosed bathroom. Democratic voters are tired of focus-group establishment Dems, and moderate Dems are already tired of crazy progressives. And yet, temporarily arrayed, they could be quite powerful heading into the midterms. Of course, they are blessed with Trump. His usefulness as an idiot is waning with even the Gops, and you don't need to tell independents twice to stampede in a new direction. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed outperformed his name, and the establishment, to win his primary. Trump's candidate lost to a guy that stopped campaigning weeks ago. Missouri usually isn't too big on Democrats, but they still prefer democracy. The Kansas Supreme Court would look nice in DC. Texas also embraces voting and rejects phony voter fraud voting suppression. Not that election denialists are going anywhere soon. In fact, some are completely refusing to leave. Republicans are beginning to think that God is rigged against them. Climate has changed to the degree that the Danube River has receded back to the time when wooly mammoths and Nazi soldiers roamed the earth, leaving live ordnance in their wake. Donald was sad to hear kindred soul Max Miller must bear such vicious accusations, but such is the burden great men carry.

Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan's Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, defeating U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens in a massive victory for the party's progressive wing in a battleground state. El-Sayed will face Republican Mike Rogers, a former congressman who ran unopposed for the GOP nomination, in November.President Donald Trump said late Tuesday that an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be announced within days, as Iran reported progress in talks with Oman on a safe shipping corridor and Qatar said mediators were circulating proposals between Washington and Tehran.

Is the SAVE Act just a distraction? Over the past four decades, the United States has naturalized over 24 million immigrants, primarily from the third world, fundamentally and irrevocably transforming the American electorate. I do a deep dive into the staggering numbers behind legal immigration and naturalization, revealing why a complete immigration moratorium is vastly more critical to the survival of the country than current GOP talking points. In fact, the transformation in much of the country is already irrevocable, and a moratorium is needed to save red America. I dive into the recent shocking admission from DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin about the 900,000 naturalizations in just the last 12 months. I also analyze how this dwarfs the "great wave" of immigration. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bill previews four of the most competitive Senate races shaping midterm control, noting Democrats must hold their 47 seats and flip four GOP seats to retake the Senate. In Michigan, reporter Rick Pluta, Senior Capitol Correspondent for the Michigan Public Radio Network, describes a vicious, expensive Democratic primary between Rep. Haley Stevens and Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, with party unity concerns and GOP nominee Mike Rogers looming. In Ohio, Andrew Tobias, Political Reporter at Signal Ohio, says both sides are treating Sherrod Brown vs. appointed Sen. John Husted as a tipping-point Senate race, while the governor's contest pits Dr. Amy Acton against Vivek Ramaswamy amid heavy spending, plus a House scandal involving Rep. Max Miller. In Texas, Maria Recio of the Austin American Statesman, explains Ken Paxton's divisive nomination and polls showing Democrat James Talarico competitive, alongside new congressional maps. In Maine, Alex Seitz-Wald, Deputy Editor of The Midcoast Villager, details Troy Jackson's challenge to Sen. Susan Collins, contrasting local vs. national issues and tight polling.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The rules were written for corporate insiders who owe a duty to shareholders, never for a president who happens to be the source, the publisher, and a 41% owner of the platform all at once, and the man who'd have to close that loophole runs an SEC built for deregulation. Jared and Nick trace the feedback loop this creates, where Trump's posts move the very market he's now selling access to, and they make the case that any real anti-corruption platform has to go after not just Trump himself but the think tanks, law firms, and accounting giants behind him. That leads into Capital One, which just admitted it closed hundreds of Trump Organization accounts over flagged transaction patterns, a detail that only surfaced because the Trumps sued and discovery pried it loose, and it says everything about a banking system that treats aiding and abetting as a business model. The back half turns darker and stranger, moving from the Max Miller abuse case and the extraordinary statement Bernie Moreno released against his own former son-in-law to the GOP brain drain that one staffer described as a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots. Then, on Michigan primary day, the guys break down what the Tucker Carlson cabin meeting says about a coming "America First" realignment, and why the right keeps absorbing its insurgents while the left just fractures.

Give to help Chris make Truce Our season has spent a lot of time looking at how some evangelicals tied themselves to the GOP as the party became more conservative. But not every evangelical Republican was taken in by the conservative swing. In this episode, we're taking a look at Senator Mark Hatfield, an evangelical Republican who didn't follow the pack. Senator Mark Hatfield had a long and influential career in public service spanning nearly five decades. After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II and earning degrees from Willamette University and Stanford University, Hatfield began his political journey in the Oregon Legislature, winning election to the Oregon House of Representatives in 1950 and then to the Oregon State Senate in 1954. He went on to become Oregon's youngest Secretary of State at age 34 and was elected Governor of Oregon in 1958, where he served two terms and oversaw the expansion of the state's infrastructure and environmental programs. In 1966, Hatfield was elected to the U.S. Senate, beginning a 30-year tenure that made him the longest-serving senator in Oregon's history at the time. In the Senate, Hatfield was known as a moderate Republican who often put conscience ahead of party, particularly on issues of war and defense spending. Deeply shaped by his wartime experiences and Christian faith, he consistently opposed military authorization bills, including votes against the Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf War, and co-sponsored efforts like a nuclear freeze resolution. Hatfield twice chaired the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, using that position to direct federal funds to Oregon for health, transportation, and research projects, and to support biomedical research at institutions like the National Institutes of Health. His independent approach earned him respect across party lines, and although the GOP shifted rightward over time, he remained a distinctive figure in national politics until his retirement in 1997.

Is the Republican Party changing into something entirely new? Meghan McCain and Miranda Wilkins react to the growing ideological battle inside the GOP, from the rise of post-liberal conservatism to the influence of figures like Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and J.D. Vance. As both political parties wrestle with identity, the conversation explores where conservatism is headed and what it could mean for 2028. Senior National Review writer and bestselling author Noah Rothman joins the show to discuss his new book Blood and Progress, the resurgence of democratic socialism, the Democratic Socialists of America, political violence, and why both parties are facing profound internal divisions. He also weighs in on the future of the Republican coalition, Trump's approval ratings, and the growing influence of post-liberal politics.

John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) previously threatened Blanche's bid to lead the Justice Department over the $1.77 billion fund, which would be used to compensate people who suspect they were unfairly prosecuted by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

August 3, 2026; 4pm: Nicolle Wallace and guests discuss Todd Blanche meeting the demands of two GOP holdouts – Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. At least, that's how it appears on the surface. But there is mounting skepticism that Blanche will stand on his commitments since history has shown that his loyalty primarily lies with Donald Trump. Later, Nicolle discusses U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro dropping charges filed against former Olympian David Hearn for “vandalizing” the recently remodeled Lincoln Reflecting Pool.

President Trump said the U.S. brokered a deal for Hamas to disarm and for Israel to leave Gaza, but neither side has moved on it yet. The Washington Post’s Michael Birnbaum explains why. Wall Street firms can now pay up to $100,000 a month for early access to Trump’s Truth Social posts. The Wall Street Journal’s Caitlin Ostroff breaks down the edge this new service gives investors — and the insider-trading concerns it’s raising. Tens of thousands of migrants rushed into the Spanish territory of Ceuta in North Africa last week, only to be turned away almost immediately. Reuters’s Victoria Waldersee unpacks the factors that contributed to the surge. Plus, how a bitter family feud between two Ohio lawmakers over abuse allegations is threatening an otherwise likely safe GOP seat, why FIFA's president is facing a mutiny, and women’s professional baseball players have a new league of their own.

In this episode of Stephanie Miller's Happy Hour Podcast, we dive deep into the absurdity of the current political landscape, where even the most outlandish claims seem to gain traction. Join Stephanie as she hilariously navigates the chaos surrounding Judge Jeanine Pirro's latest antics and the GOP's relentless attempts to vilify Dr. Fauci. With guests Frangela and Rude Pundit, the conversation swings from the ridiculousness of Trump's reflecting pool debacle to the bizarre world of political reparations for January 6th insurrectionists. Expect sharp commentary, plenty of laughs, and a much-needed sanity check as we confront the ongoing fallout from the pandemic and the bizarre narratives that continue to emerge.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin take on a new day, week, month, and the same old chaos. Donald K. Trump won his 43rd club championship at one of his courses. It's called TALENT, and money. You know Donald. Always bullshitting. You know he is, he knows he is. Leave it there, you're cool, but call Trump on it and you have a fight. Because, admitting he's wrong just isn't part of the game… and not playing along can lose you a job, send you to prison, or worse. Capital One was playing along, but Trump wouldn't walk away, could not shut up, and Capital One quit playing. It made absolutely no difference if Todd Blanche formally rescinded Trump's J6 slush fund, which is why Blanche did it. Gops are playing along with that, but Trump doesn't play along with anybody's bullshit but his own. Dems are strongly favored to take the House, and maybe the Senate. Abdul El-Sayed's name might not be enough to keep voters from scratching in the bubble next to it. Low-turnout voters might not turn out. Indecisive Democrats aren't sure what to do. Gop staff is filling up with young Groypers. The Evangelical Church is filled people who are Christian as an afterthought.

Will the two Republican senators who insisted on it now allow his nomination to move forward? Plus, Trump says U.S. strikes on Iran are on hold again Monday morning, following Tehran's request for a pause. And Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno publicly calls on his former son-in-law, Rep.

Dinesh D'Souza joins us this hour, and Wiggins America brings you some questionable John Fetterman comments on why the GOP was wrong to bully Fauci.

Republicans are plummeting in the polls in the lead-up to the midterm thanks to the unpopularity of the Iran War and the attendant inflation. As my Nation colleague Chris Lehmann has noted, in an attempt to shore up their fracturing base, the GOP has decided to label all Democrats as communist, a weird rhetorical move now being made by Donald Trump and his supporters. I talk to Chris about this strange and dangerous development. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

One year ago Donald Trump stood before the American people and suggested drinking bleach and injecting disinfectant to cure the Covid 19 virus. In a presidency marked my insanity. This one presser might have been the most insane one of all. It also revealed for those who didn't already know, that the man in charge of our recovery and our lives, was bat shit insane crazy. But now, one year later, what's even more insane, is that there are people who still want more of this guy. This after all the poison he injected into our system. Michael discusses how the GOP has all but abandoned its moral duty to promote Trumpism above all else. He may have lost the battle for the presidency but in state houses and local politics, Trumpism is winning the war. Finally, Michael speaks with former Bush White House ethics czar Richard Painter on how we recover from the age of Trump,To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy
