NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) just dropped the gloves and openly declared war on the rich with a new tax targeting second homes and luxury properties. What sounds like “soaking the wealthy” today is a dangerous precedent that threatens property rights, economic freedom, and the very foundation of success in America. Once the government normalizes punishing people for owning what they have earned, the target never stays on the rich — it always creeps down to the middle class and small businesses next. This is how cities die: capital flees, jobs vanish, and the people left behind pay the real price. We also cover: Kris Cruz returns from jury duty. Rep. Lauren Boebert is ready to protect victims.

This episode contains descriptions of sexual assault.  Until last week, former Rep. Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from Dublin, was a leading candidate for governor. But on Friday, a former staffer accused Swalwell of sexual assault. In interviews with the San Francisco Chronicle, former staff member said Swalwell sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent in both 2019 and 2024, after multiple inappropriate advances both on Snapchat and in person. Since then, at least four more women have come forward, including one who alleges she was violently raped by Swalwell in 2018. Swalwell denies these allegations. But within days, after supporters fled his campaign and called for him to step down, he ended his run for governor and resigned his Congressional seat.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Rep Eric Swalwell is resigning from the House of Representatives and dropped out of his race for Governor amid mounting sexual assault allegations. Reporters say that Swalwell's behavior was known – if that's the case why wasn't it reported?  This points to a long-standing cover-up by elected Democrats, party operatives, and elements of the media, who continued to support and promote Swalwell despite the allegations. Swalwell was protected by Democrats and the media.  Jonathan Turley calls in and expresses suspicion over the rapid fall of Swalwell, who went from leading Democratic candidate for California governor one week to facing criminal and nanny investigations, plus an expedited Ethics Committee probe the next. He pointed to Democratic discomfort with Swalwell potentially running in California's jungle primary, where two Republicans currently lead, raising fears of a Republican vs. Republican general election. Also, the Democrats repeatedly invoke the 25th Amendment, knowing the media will amplify it to create a hostile environment for the president, even though the Vice President and Cabinet will not act. The Democrats who falsely claims Congress can invoke the 25th Amendment are ignorant.  Their push to remove President Trump by any means—25th Amendment, impeachment, or resignation—reveals their hypocrisy, as they once covered up Biden's incapacity. Later, Zohran Mamdani says he'll fight for the many, but not the few—what does that even mean? Capitalism created automobiles, the greatest medical system on earth, air conditioning, heating, housing for the vast majority of Americans, and fully stocked food stores. Socialism created nothing; it is not in the business of wealth creation, economic growth, or innovation—only control and redistribution of wealth.  Democrats pretend to be the champion of the many but actually hate them, as shown by open borders and refusal to deport criminal illegal aliens.

On this week's Political Breakfast, the candidates in the Georgia Governor's race are in the final weeks to reach voters -- whether that's through big ad spending, or showing up for public forums and debates. The front-runners are still Republican billionaire healthcare CEO Rick Jackson, and former Democratic Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. The May 19th primary is fast approaching, and polls show there's still a ton of undecided voters. Republican strategist Brian Robinson and Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson tell host Lisa Rayam that the remaining weeks will make a huge difference. Plus, Atlanta leaders say they're deeply troubled by the recent uptick in gun violence. Much of that violence has happened during so-called 'Teen Takeovers' across the metro. The Atlanta Police Department is still investigating many of these shootings, and are urging parents to know where their kids are...or else face charges.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A very tired-looking Vice President JD Vance emerged from 21 hours of high-stakes peace talks on Sunday to say no deal has been made to end the Iran war — a failure that comes with serious economic and political consequences. It's an election year, and Congressional Republicans are getting jumpy with their majorities on the line. So, to help unpack what all of this means for the midterms, we spoke with Daniella Diaz. She's a reporter covering politics and Congress for NOTUS.And in headlines, JD Vance strikes out in Hungary, Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell suspends his campaign for Governor of California, and the Artemis II crew returns safely to Earth.Show Notes: Check out Daniella's work – www.notus.org/daniella-diaz Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

It's a News Day Monday on The Majority Report   On today's program:   Trump, Vance and the right-wing media orbit suffers a humiliation after Viktor Orban loses his re-election bid in Hungary. Trump spends the weekend attending cage fights and posting repeatedly on Truth Social, including an attack on Pope Leo, whom he calls "soft on crime." He also shares an AI-generated image of himself depicted as Jesus Christ healing someone. After facing backlash from Christians, Trump claims he thinks he is portrayed as a doctor because "he makes people feel better." To reinforce that point, he then presents a woman whose husband is undergoing cancer treatment, claiming the president is covering the cost. Harry Enten presents polling showing that JD Vance's net popularity is cratering and that American's feel like the administration is too focused on foreign affairs.   Maria Bartiromo asks Trump if he believes that gas and oil prices will come down before the midterms to which Trump answers with "I think so, could be the same, maybe even higher".   Senator John Barrasso claims that Democrats like higher gas prices because it fits their radical climate agenda.   In the Fun Half:   New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani delivers his 100-days-in-office address, invoking FDR's first 100 days. In the speech, he announces five city-run grocery stores, faster buses, and a plan to containerize all trash across the city.   Dave Rubin tries to attack Mamdani on his tax and childcare plans by using outdated footage out-of-context in a lazy segment that falls flat on his face.   Fox News' Griff Jenkins has come up with his own anagram as a rebuttal to Taco Trump.

I sat down this week with Jason Estevez, Democratic candidate for Governor in Georgia. We talked about the Democratic Party, his campaign, what voters are looking for these days, and how Democrats can best be successful and win. He's a really cool dude. Real. Normal. What the party needs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The final hour of The Tara Show on April 10, 2026, continues its sharp critique of administrative failures, starting with the controversy in the Strait of Hormuz where Iran and China have begun charging tolls of up to $2 million per vessel. The broadcast then shifts to a heated debate over immigration, accusing Democrats of apathy toward crimes committed by undocumented individuals while highlighting "liberal media outrage" over a new program prioritizing refugee status for Afrikaners from South Africa. Finally, the show circles back to a local "total irony" alert, mocking the Greenville police officer who was ticketed for driving too fast for conditions after causing a major multi-car wreck on I-385.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has faced significant backlash for her perceived silence and lack of accountability regarding a string of violent crimes in Northern Virginia, most notably the brutal stabbing of Stephanie Minter at a Fairfax County bus stop in late February 2026. While critics from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE have lambasted the governor for "protecting a murderer" by requiring a signed judicial warrant before cooperating with federal immigration detainers, Spanberger has largely dodged direct questions on the matter. Rather than addressing the specific failures in the case of suspect Abdul Jalloh, who had over 30 prior arrests, the Governor has shifted blame toward the federal government's past failure to deport the individual and defended her executive order rolling back state-level cooperation with ICE. This "no response" or deflective stance has intensified as new cases emerge, including a recent machete stabbing and a controversial "sweetheart" plea deal for two other murder suspects, further fueling accusations that her sanctuary-leaning policies are compromising public safety.

The second hour of The Tara Show on April 10, 2026, continues its high-energy critique of both global and local governance, beginning with a fiery segment on the "Bush contingency" of the Republican Party, which Tara accuses of reviving "amnesty" policies under a new guise. The discussion then pivots to Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, whom the show blasts for a perceived lack of response regarding a knife murderer in Fairfax County, linking her policies to a broader "sanctuary" agenda. On the international front, the broadcast cites Al Jazeera reports suggesting that Iran's military power is collapsing, signaling that President Trump must now take decisive control of the Strait of Hormuz to ensure global trade stability. Finally, the hour closes with high-stakes anticipation for the Artemis II lunar mission, which is scheduled for a critical Pacific reentry at 8:00 PM, with the entire mission's success riding on the integrity of its heat shield.

On our political radar this week… Pam Bondi joins Meat Loaf, Joan Rivers, Dennis Rodman, Sinbad, Dionne Warwick, Andrew Dice Clay, Omarosa … and Kristi Noem: “You’re fired!” VIDEO: Bye Bye Bondi (A Tribute) Senator Elissa Slotkin – speaking in Iowa – confirms what we've been saying for weeks: she's open to running for President. Two more special elections this week, two more sharp turns to Democrats: –In Wisconsin, liberal candidate Chris Taylor cruised to an easy victory over her conservative opponent in the state Supreme Court race with 60 percent of the vote, expanding the liberal majority on the court to 5-2. – Georgia, Democrat Shawn Harris lost by about 12 percentage points in the race to replace Marjorie Taylor Green, but he shifted the district 25 points to the left. Trump won the district by 37 percentage points in 2024. A national Republican group said Monday it's dumping $45 million into Michigan's open U.S. Senate race as an initial investment to help presumptive GOP nominee Mike Rogers flip the seat from Democratic control. The operative word is “initial”, meaning even more millions will flow into Michigan Republican sources. Trump is calling on Congress to give Pete Hegseth a staggering $1.7-trillion dollars over the next year. To fund it, Trump wants to cut virtually every other federal program including a 23% cut for NASA even as four astronauts take a first-ever-for-humans trip to the far side of the moon. One item calling for a major increase: White House repairs and renovations. Trump wants to spend 377-million dollars on fixing up the place, an 860 percent increase. Two more major league grifts from Trump: –The Justice Department has settled for roughly $1.2 million a lawsuit from Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser to President Donald Trump who pleaded guilty during Trump’s first term to lying to the FBI about his conversations with a top Russian diplomat and was later pardoned. Bottom line: if Trump likes you, taxpayers will pay you to lie to the FBI. –Semafor is reporting that Trump has directed the State Department to send $1.25 billion – without any Congressional appropriation or authorization to do so – to Trump's Board of Peace. The transfer effectively places the money directly in the hands of Trump, the board’s chairman. Trump and the board’s executives control funding for the Board of Peace — and Trump selects the executive board — and the president will continue to do so even after his second term ends in January 2029. In the race for Governor – John James is ducking still another candidate debate, this one set for the end of the month in vote-rich Oakland County. James has seen his once overwhelming lead for the GOP gubernatorial nomination shrink as septuagenarian Perry “Quality Guru” Johnson dumps millions into an effort to spend his way into office. Governor Whitmer says she will not endorse a candidate for U.S. Senate or Secretary of State. She earlier ruled out an endorsement in the race for the gubernatorial nomination. It's pretty easy for Democrats to be critics of Donald Trump, his policies and his corruption. More important to most people is answering the question: “so what are you going to do?” State House Democrats have answered, releasing their Vision for a Brighter Michigan. We're joined by House Democratic Leader Ranjeev Puri who led development of the plan. The son of Indian immigrants, Leader Puri made history in 2020 as the first person of color to represent his Canton Michigan district and the first Sikh-American in Michigan's legislative history. In his second term he served as majority whip, making him the highest-ranking South Asian in state government nationwide. Remarkably, he is one of two first-generation Indian-Americans in top legislative leadership: Senate Majority Floor Leader Sam Singh is also the son of Indian immigrants. Leader Puri's leadership has earned national recognition, including being named to the Council of State Government's “20 Under 40” Leadership Award Class of 2023 and receiving the MIRS Legislator of the Year Award in 2024.His leadership has earned national recognition, including being named to the Council of State Government's “20 Under 40” Leadership Award Class of 2023 and receiving the MIRS Legislator of the Year Award in 2024. (Jeff) First question! A personal note from producer/co-host Walt Sorg April is Michigan Donate Life month, a recognition of the state's organ donation program. Four years ago I was the recipient of a donated kidney. It changed my life … and probably saved my life. A part of you can live on after death through the simple act of saying “yes, I want to pay it forward.” And you can go a step beyond through a living donation of a kidney, or portion of your liver. My donor was my brother and he's just as healthy today with one kidney as he was before the surgery. The Michigan Organ Donor Registry is a confidential database that documents an individual's decision to become an organ, tissue and eye donor. Joining the registry is simple and secure. Michiganders can add their name online at Michigan.gov/OrganDonation, at any Secretary of State branch office or self-service station, or on your state income tax return. And while you're at it … the donation of blood through the Red Cross is an easy way to save another life. Last spring, donated blood saved my life. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
