Vance's appearance on The View yesterday, where he spent his time eviscerating the wenches on that liberal woke panel. In other news of the day, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said former President Joe Biden made a "terrible mistake" by seeking reelection in 2024 - arguing the decision damaged his legacy and cost Democrats a chance to defeat President Donald Trump, and President Trump laid out the two primary components of his deal to end the war with Iran: Tehran will “never have a nuclear weapon” and the Strait of Hormuz will re-open and be "toll-free". Speaking at the G7 summit in France, Trump said the deal agreed between the two countries was "fair" and "good".

Bill talks with legal scholar and former U.S. attorney Barbara McQuade about her book, "The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government," arguing that core democratic principles—rule of law and equality before the law—are eroding under Donald Trump. McQuade describes Trump's tactics as extortionate and mob-like, pressuring institutions such as law firms, media, universities, and allies, and warns that Congress has failed to check executive overreach while the Supreme Court's shadow docket and unitary-executive approach can enable it. She says DOJ independence has been damaged by political payback efforts and cites examples of alleged lawbreaking and self-dealing, including tariffs, Iran action, emoluments-style profiteering, and a proposed tax-related settlement. McQuade outlines “fixes” including restoring DOJ norms, extending ethics rules, and structural reforms like ranked-choice voting, independent redistricting, and overturning Citizens United, emphasizing elections and accountability, including reviving the election-interference case after Trump leaves office. You can get McQuade's great new book at Bookshop.org. Today Bill directs listeners to ACTBlue.com, your one stop shop for donating to the causes and candidates you support.

I tider av politisk oro ropas det ofta på mer historieundervisning i skolorna. Men vägen till ett bättre samhälle är en annan, skriver Eva-Lotta Hultén. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2017-10-12.–Lyd inte i förväg.–Håll yrkesetiken högt.–Akta dig för paramilitärer.När Donald Trump vann det amerikanska presidentvalet 2016 satte sig historieprofessorn Timothy Snyder och skrev pamfletten ”Om tyranni. Tjugo lärdomar från tjugonde århundradet”. Uppmaningarna jag inledde med är några av rubrikerna i boken, som är skriven till ett du, i ett land vars demokratiska berggrund börjat vittra. Trump nämns då och då, men de tjugo uppmaningarna är relevanta överallt där antidemokratiska krafter hotar.I politiskt instabila och hotfulla tider kommer ropen på mer historieundervisning i skolornaReferenserna till andra världskriget är många, liksom till kommunistdiktaturerna i de forna östländerna. Timothy Snyder varnar bland annat för att tolka demagogers utsagor välvilligt: säger de att de tänker underminera de demokratiska institutionerna eller krossa mediefriheten så är det just vad de kommer att göra. Börjar de avhumanisera och hota grupper av människor så finns det ingen anledning att tro att de egentligen menar något annat.I politiskt instabila och hotfulla tider kommer ropen på mer historieundervisning i skolorna och mer historisk kunskap bland politiker och allmänhet. Med bättre vetskap om hur illa det gått förr ska insikter komma om vilken farlig väg fascism, nazism, rasism eller kommunism är och vi ska börja gör motstånd. Men fungerar det verkligen? Gör en tankeövning: Är det brist på historiekunskaper som får nazister att hata judar? Skulle de hata mindre om de fick mer kunskaper om förintelsen?Filosofen Friedrich Hegel sa att av historien lär vi att vi inget lär av historien. En klatschigt cynisk formulering som fått stor spridning. Massor av människor har förvisso med historiekunskaper fått nya insikter om både det ena och det andra men det Hegel avsåg att säga var naturligtvis att kunskap om vad som hänt förr inte räcker som vaccin mot att låta dåliga saker ske igen.Vi måste inte bara förstå hur ett totalitärt samhälle växer fram, vi måste också ha värderingar som säger oss att förtryck och utnyttjande av andra är fel, och vi behöver förmåga att se vad det är som händer medan det händer. Historien upprepar sig nämligen aldrig exakt, vilket gör att vi alltid, som en försvarsmekanism, kan klamra oss fast vid skillnaderna som räddningsplankor eller ursäkter för att blunda.Både Snyder och Sharp pekar på de små gesternas och handlingarnas betydelse: att säga nej när någon i maktställning begär något omoraliskt av oss...Utöver humanistiska värderingar och klarsynthet behöver vi förmåga, civilkurage och självförtroende nog att tänka och handla självständigt. I en stor studie intervjuade de båda forskarna Samuel Oliner och Pearl Oliner hundratals personer som räddat judar under andra världskriget. De visade att många som ingriper och hjälper andra har gemensamma drag: stark medkänsla och förmåga att känna samhörighet med alla sorters människor, ansvarskänsla, känsla för rättvisa och förmåga att se hur de själva kan påverka. De hade vuxit upp med föräldrar som agerat goda förebilder och framhållit värdet av empati och engagemang snarare än av prestationer. Föräldrarna hade resonerat kring rätt och fel, sällan eller aldrig straffat sina barn och uppmärksammat dem på vad som händer i omvärlden och på de orättvisor som drabbade vissa grupper av människor.Allt detta går att åstadkomma också inom skolans ramar. Filosofen Stephen Law har i boken ”The war for childrens minds” visat hur man kan lära barn självständigt tänkande och handlade genom att i gruppdiskussioner träna sådant som att avslöja och ifrågasätta det som tas för givet, upptäcka och diagnosticera felaktiga slutledningar, uttrycka åsikter klart och koncist, se saker ur andras synvinkel och ifrågasätta sina egna känslor eller det rätta i att agera utifrån dem. Socialpsykologen Ervin Staub har i sin tur gjort en rad experiment som visar på betydelsen av foten-i-dörren-fenomenet. Den som en gång börjat hjälpa andra fortsätter. Får vi alltså, genom skolan eller arbetsplatsen, smak för att förbättra livet för andra så är chansen mycket stor att vi sedan fortsätter av egen kraft.Timothy Snyders pamflett påminner mig om en annan professors skrift, statsvetaren Gene Sharps ”From dictatorship to democracy”, där han med utgångspunkt i ett helt livs forskning om totalitära system, motstånd och icke-våld beskriver hur man bäst kan omvandla en diktatur till en demokrati. Liksom Snyder kombinerar han, på det mest sympatiska vis, djupa och vida kunskaper i historia med ett humanistiskt patos och ett uppfordrande tilltal.Gene Sharps bok skrevs på efterfrågan av dissidenter i Burma på 90-talet men eftersom Sharp inte kände till de specifika omständigheterna just där, skrev han en så allmänt hållen bok att den kommit att användas i många, vitt skilda, länder sedan dess. Gene Sharp förklarar att användning av våld är att möta övermakten där den är som starkast, och därmed riskera stora förluster till ingen nytta, eller i värsta fall med ännu större repression som följd. Skulle man trots allt vinna är våldet sedan ofta inbyggt också i den nya maktens regim. Underminera i stället makten genom aktivism, uppbyggnad av alternativa, demokratiska organisationer, civil olydnad och samarbete med andra olydiga och planera maktskiftet noga, uppmuntrar Sharp. Både Snyder och Sharp pekar på de små gesternas och handlingarnas betydelse: att säga nej när någon i maktställning begär något omoraliskt av oss, att se andra i ögonen och visa välvilja, att uppmuntra andra som kanske är modigare eller att bära en symbol för motstånd på sina kläder.De historiekunskaper som verkligen betyder något när världen gungar är de berättelser som hjälper oss att tolka det som skerHistoria är ett viktigt ämne – men den tro som finns på historiekunskaper i sig som frälsning från förtryck, krig, folkmord eller odemokratiskt styre är felaktig. Inte ens historieprofessorn Timothy Snyder själv tycks ha kunnat dra nytta av sina kunskaper när det verkligen gällde. I baksidestexten till hans bok kan man läsa att han var övertygad om att USA skulle välja Hillary Clinton till president. Han missade alltså de tecken som pekade åt ett annat håll. Kanske på grund av önsketänkande. Vi människor är ju inte rationella, vi gör oss själva blinda för saker vi inte vill se. Det gäller historieprofessorer såväl som alla andra.Det går alldeles utmärkt att tänka sig en människa helt utan kunskaper i historia, som utifrån humanistiska värderingar, uppövad handlingsförmåga och kunskaper i psykologi framgångsrikt tar upp kampen mot förtryck och våld. Det går lika bra att föreställa sig en spränglärd historieprofessor som missar att agera när det verkligen gäller.De historiekunskaper som verkligen betyder något när världen gungar är de berättelser som hjälper oss att tolka det som sker och lär oss förstå hur det mänskliga psyket fungerar, och i alla tider har fungerat under tryck från auktoritära eller suggestiva och antidemokratiska ledare; då vi kommer i nya och okända situationer eller då vi hamnar i sammanslutningar som utvecklar ett starkt och destruktivt grupptänkande. Allra viktigast är den historia som ger oss exempel på hur man framgångsrikt kan göra motstånd och hjälpa utsatta medmänniskor. Bara så blir historiekunskaper ett skydd mot de krafter som vill underminera demokratin.Eva-Lotta Hultén, journalist och författare LitteraturTimothy Snyder, Om tyranni.

California is the perfect Democratic utopia.Not because everything works.Because nothing has to work.Think about it. The state is losing people, businesses, tax revenue, and occasionally entire neighborhoods. Yet somehow Democrats still present California the way realtors describe a house with termites."Open concept."Spencer Pratt looked at what happened to his community, looked at what happened to his own home, and decided to get involved.That's usually the part where Democrats tell us democracy is beautiful.Citizens engaged.Voices being heard.People participating in the process.Unless, of course, they're the wrong citizens with the wrong voices participating in the wrong process.Then democracy suddenly becomes a public health emergency.California Republicans don't vote. They provide test data.Their ballots are essentially quality-control reports that let Democrats know whether the system needs additional adjustments.The 2016 Presidential Election shook up the Leftist world and the world in general. In reflection, I understand the impossible odds that Trump faced, not because Hillary Clinton was a better candidate, but because the fix was in.Trump wasn't supposed to win.Most of the so-called experts predicted otherwise, predictions that flew in the face of what we were seeing.The media and polls amplified the “experts”.The paid shills verified the experts, and celebrities added their inconsequential opinions.It was the most thoroughly approved election in history... right up until voters delivered a different outcome.Imagine spending billions creating the world's most sophisticated vending machine, inserting the proper candidate, pushing all the right buttons, and having Donald Trump fall out the bottom instead.That's what happened in 2016.The machine broke.Leftist discovered that the machine they designed to make things look like voters mattered had a glitch. The cabal lost control of the outcome. Then came the frantic repairs. The infamous voting machines from Dominion. Updates were installed.Patches were downloaded.Emergency maintenance was performed.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

L'occasion de revenir sur ces petits hommes verts qui obsèdent les États-Unis.Le phénomène des ovnis et des extraterrestres fascine l'Amérique depuis des décennies, comme en témoignent les films de science-fiction et les théories du complot. La ville de Roswell, au Nouveau-Mexique, est au cœur du mythe des extraterrestres, avec des témoignages et des preuves qui alimentent les débats. Les présidents américains, de Ronald Reagan à Barack Obama, ont abordé la question des extraterrestres, alimentant les spéculations sur une possible conspiration gouvernementale. Le sujet des extraterrestres est devenu un enjeu politique, avec des supporters de Donald Trump considérant Hillary Clinton comme une "femme lézard".Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Guest host Joe Cirincione interviews nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein about his book The Most Awful Responsibility: Truman and the Secret Struggle for Control of the Atomic Age, revisiting the run-up to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the postwar fight between nuclear hawks and doves over who should control nuclear weapons. Wellerstein argues there was no single “decision” to use the bomb—plans were already underway under military control, Truman was largely excluded and poorly briefed, and he may not have known a second bomb was coming. After Nagasaki, Truman asserted presidential control to halt further use, motivated by horror at civilian casualties. They discuss debates over whether the bombings ended the war and Truman's moral framing of nuclear weapons. The events of the past have clear echoes in today's nuclear policy debates, and the dispute over Iran's nuclear program and who is telling the truth about Iran's nuclear ambitions.You can check out his Nuke Map at nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The boys drink and review Sierra Nevada's Torpedo Extra IPA, then move on to political strategy and methods. Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals remains one of the most influential—and controversial—books on political organizing ever written. In this episode, Pigweed and Crowhill dive into the life and ideas of the Chicago community organizer whose methods have shaped activist movements for generations. From "pick the target" and "keep the pressure on" to the strategic use of ridicule, disruption, and media attention, they unpack Alinsky's famous tactics and examine why they continue to be effective decades after they were first developed.But the conversation goes beyond a simple review of organizing techniques. Are these tactics merely practical tools that can be used by anyone seeking political change, or do they encourage a permanent culture of conflict? Why do modern movements always seem to be searching for the next crisis, the next injustice, or the next cause? Pigweed and Crowhill explore whether activism has become less about solving problems and more about sustaining a mindset of perpetual agitation.Along the way, they discuss Barack Obama's background as a community organizer, Hillary Clinton's connection to Alinsky, Ben Shapiro's surprising praise for some of Alinsky's methods, and the broader question of how political narratives are created, amplified, and maintained. Whether you see Alinsky as a champion of the powerless, a master strategist, or something more troubling, his influence on modern politics is impossible to ignore.

The latest episode of the Center for Immigration Studies podcast examines a recent U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) memo emphasizing that adjustment of status - the process allowing certain aliens, either temporary visa holders or unlawfully present, who are eligible for permanent residence to obtain it without leaving the United States - is a discretionary benefit and not a guaranteed alternative to consular processing abroad.The discussion between Senior Legal Fellow George Fishman and Director of Policy Studies Jessica Vaughan is accompanied by a new report and a policy blog on the subject.Among the key findings:Congress created adjustment of status under section 245 of the new Immigration and Nationality Act in 1952 largely to eliminate the need for temporary visa holders already in the United States to travel outside the U.S. for immigrant visa processing to permanent status.In FY2023, which is the most recent year for which statistics on adjustment of status admissions are available, the number of adjustments was 608,260 out of 1,172,910 total immigrant admissions, or 52 percent. Of these adjustments, by far the largest share were in the category of Immediate Relatives (315,830). In contrast, in 2023 only 146,880 people adjusted in all the employment categories combined, although this represented 75 percent of all employment LPR admissions.The policy change is expected to have its greatest impact on certain family-based applicants, including some who overstayed visas, violated the terms of admission, or entered illegally and received parole.While USCIS has broad discretion in adjustment decisions, courts have held that such discretion is not unlimited and may be reviewed for abuse of discretion.Existing legal precedent does not clearly support treating the mere act of seeking adjustment of status as a negative factor weighing against an applicant.USCIS has indicated that it may exercise discretion and offer some applicants the opportunity to adjust if it is in the national interest, such as in the case of applicants with meaningful employment or for humanitarian considerations.Fishman's report concludes that the legal significance of the directive will depend on how USCIS implements it in practice. If denial rates rise substantially or applications are denied absent meaningful adverse factors, litigation challenging those decisions is likely to follow (if federal courts allow legal challenges to adjustment denials outside of removal proceedings).Vaughan argues that the policy could strengthen the integrity of the immigration system as overstayers and parolees will no longer apply for fear of being caught for extended unlawful presence.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestsJessica Vaughan is the Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.George Fishman is a Senior Legal Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.LinksUSCIS Upends the Status Quo for Adjustment of StatusUSCIS Blocks Green Card Shortcut for Overstayers and ParoleesIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

In this week's Autopsy, we dissect a panel discussion from the Munich Security Conference 2026 featuring Hillary Rodham Clinton. Dario attended the same conference and observed her in person, which is part of what prompted this episode. The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqed2Dw-wVQClinton is one of the most experienced politicians of her generation. Senator, Secretary of State under Obama, presidential candidate. Her policy track record is long and her influence remains significant. That is precisely why the thinking on display in this panel matters, because it is not just Clinton's thinking. It is the thinking of an entire establishment that has governed the West for the past twenty-five years and still has not grasped why the world has moved on.This podcast is an individual project between us, Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

Guest host Joe Cirincione interviews David Rothkopf. Rothkopf is the host of the Deep State Radio podcast. He is also Chief Global Affairs Columnist at the Daily Beast and was formerly the editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy magazine. He has taught at Columbia, Georgetown and Johns Hopkins universities. He was the Deputy Undersecretary of Commerce in the Clinton Administration and is the author of ten books including, most recently, Traitor: A History of Betraying America from Benedict Arnold to Donald Trump. His newsletter "Need to Know" is available at davidrothkopf.substack.com. Cirincione talks with Rothkopf about what he calls the unfolding catastrophe of Trump's war on Iran, arguing the U.S. has repeatedly failed in Southwest Asia and that this conflict has achieved neither tactical nor strategic objectives, while causing greater-than-reported damage to U.S. bases and eroding trust in military and government accounts. Rothkopf says the war has weakened U.S. alliances, empowered Iran, Russia, and China, and further damaged America's global standing, while also tying U.S. policy to an increasingly destabilizing Israeli government. The conversation then shifts to domestic consequences, with Rothkopf alleging Trump has monetized the presidency through pervasive corruption, including favors, pardons, and an IRS-related settlement he calls theft from the Treasury. Rothkopf remains hopeful but warns against complacency, argues accountability and progress are linked, and urges resistance ahead of 2026 elections.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ultimate Fighters Episode 10 - Ultimate Fighters: Donald Trump, Dana White and UFC's Road to the White HouseToday's episode will cover the History and Background of the UFC, Tito Ortiz, Bill and Hilary Clinton, Ari Emanuel, Donald Trump, Dana White, up to date News, White House, and so much more! Two unbreakable fighters. One unbreakable bond. A road that led straight to the White House.In the shadows of mainstream headlines, a powerful alliance has shaped American culture and politics for decades. Donald Trump—real estate tycoon, reality TV star, twice-elected President—found a kindred spirit in Dana White, the man who rescued the Ultimate Fighting Championship from near-collapse and built it into a global empire. Their friendship began in 2001 when Trump offered his Atlantic City casino as a lifeline for the fledgling UFC, hosting events no one else would touch.What followed was a saga of mutual loyalty and shared triumphs: White's steadfast support through Trump's campaigns and controversies, Trump's ringside presence electrifying crowds at UFC events, and the raw energy of the Octagon fueling a political movement. From early casino nights to White House visits, Republican National Convention endorsements, and landmark moments tying mixed martial arts to American power, this is the untold story.Ultimate Fighters: Donald Trump, Dana White and UFC's Road to the White House - https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Fighters-Donald-Trump-White-ebook/dp/B0GT9WWYDR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25O8D85ZAHJIM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.j_rahjBUgwUaZv0a4ffk-30tGZqsYe8rq2J2NeGY-PkmoUb_vl8UUjAZomrTsPK6D1QV78V-fXYrJ9Y8w0e0zT5SUe5aD4Cmuo1xillF3y8u0f9wjN3iKT5CVkB5GsZqpiMTAvkNkgagtezZ_oPujgHf62gWz5CivDCV8Cs4NmykZWJK5KpwoXl1us19mF2XOFY8TGQB1Gk-3dqaQwouMQpwXR3_CsbrYnUGgAjux0I.-ymjHyKRVnbz0xw6JwyAu1N0SDdw4QYxYw6sQzNypYI&dib_tag=se&keywords=Ultimate+Fighters&qid=1774229356&sprefix=%2Caps%2C1399&sr=8-1

Boog/Neil crossover: Dave Van Boring talk, Boog isn't taking the job in NY. Screenless calls. First POLL: What is about Hillary Clinton that you dislike the most?

The latest episode of the Center for Immigration Studies podcast examines how the federal government can reduce illegal immigration through administrative, financial, and workplace enforcement measures designed to encourage self-deportation rather than relying primarily on large-scale arrest operations.Andrew Arthur, the Center's fellow in law and policy, joins George Fishman, the Center's senior legal fellow, to discuss what they describe as “briefcase immigration enforcement” — the wide range of legal and regulatory tools available to federal agencies that can make it more difficult for illegal aliens to remain and work in the United States indefinitely.The discussion follows recent Center blogs analyzing President Trump's Executive Order, “Restoring Integrity to America's Financial System,” which directs federal agencies to examine how banking regulations, lending practices, and identification requirements may facilitate illegal immigration and unlawful employment.The podcast examines measures such as requiring proof of legal status to send remittances abroad, restricting access to the U.S. banking system for those here unlawfully, and imposing criminal and civil penalties on aliens who fail to depart within 90 days of receiving final removal orders. The discussion covers proposals to send Social Security “no-match” letters to employers, make more it difficult for illegal aliens to obtain identification documents and driver's licenses, revoke commercial driver's licenses issued improperly, and expand employers' access to photo-matching verification to confirm worker identity and employment eligibility.In the final commentary, Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director and podcast host, discusses a recent Center report arguing that Congress should consider increasing the waiting period for naturalization to give applicants more time to demonstrate their character and commitment to the principles of the Constitution. The “1798 Solution”, so named because from 1798 to 1802 the wait was 14 years, may be one of the most effective tools available to prevent individuals who pose national security threats from obtaining U.S. citizenship.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestsAndrew Arthur is a Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.George Fishman is a Senior Legal Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.LinksBig Banks and U.S. Treasury Have Been Enabling Illegal Immigration for Two DecadesTrump to Banks: Illegal Aliens are Bad Credit RisksDHS and DOJ Begin Imposing Massive Fines on Aliens Who Refuse to LeavePreventing Naturalization National Security Threats: The 1789 SolutionIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Mike Sperrazza and Mike Lomas go off the cuff this week, opening with the bizarre San Francisco YMCA story where a man exposed himself in the women's bathroom and the city's response was to ask people to limit their nakedness rather than enforce basic rules. They dig into the six-year anniversary of George Floyd and the coordinated left-wing messaging around it, the double standard applied when Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart introduced Donald Trump at a rally, and the latest round of unhinged reactions to Trump's hospital visit. The guys break down Hunter Biden's new Twitter account and his sobriety announcement (with a perfect Laura Loomer reply), Hillary Clinton's cringeworthy intro for Kathy Hochul claiming free school meals and money in New Yorkers' pockets, and Bernie Sanders railing against the oligarchy while owning three homes on a $174,000 salary. Mike and Mike tackle Gavin Newsom's dubious claim that California homelessness dropped 9 percent, get into Spencer Pratt's take on what actually helps addicts versus the NGO grift, and Mike Sperrazza shares a frustrating weekend story about unionized little league umpires demanding 30-minute breaks between kids' games. They close with thoughts on the passing of NASCAR's Kyle Busch at 41 and the importance of balance in life and finances.00:24 - San Francisco YMCA bathroom story 01:38 - Six-year anniversary of George Floyd and coordinated left messaging 06:56 - Jaxson Dart introduces Trump, gets attacked online 09:24 - Gunshots outside the White House and De Niro's unhinged rant 12:47 - Hunter Biden's sobriety tweet and Laura Loomer's response 14:31 - Hillary Clinton's intro for Kathy Hochul 21:30 - Game time: guessing California's homelessness drop under Newsom 28:43 - Bernie Sanders fighting the oligarchy from his three homes 35:00 - Unionized little league umpires and the problem with unions 42:43 - NASCAR's Kyle Busch passes at 41

Mary and Andrew begin this week by tackling a decision by a U.S. District Judge to dismiss criminal charges against Kilmar Ábrego García, calling the administration's case against García a vindictive prosecution for challenging his illegal deportation last year. Mary and Andrew couple this topic with a conversation about the “Broadview Six” case, involving a group of Chicago ICE protesters whose criminal case was dropped, similarly, due to misconduct by the DOJ. Then, Mary and Andrew continue a discussion from last week about Trump's $1.776 billion settlement with the IRS — specifically about an addendum to the settlement which grants Trump and "affiliated individuals" extremely broad protections from future prosecutions. They then talk about Carmen Lineberger, a former federal prosecutor indicted for sending unreleased files from the Jack Smith report to her personal email account. Plus, a conversation about a decision by a federal judge who has ordered the White House to comply with the Presidential Records Act, undermining the DOJ's ability to give the administration a legal way to destroy White House records from the second Trump term.

Bill interviews former Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander about his memoir, The Education of a Senator: From JFK to Trump, and the Senate's decline from bipartisan, amendment-driven lawmaking to today's gridlock. Alexander criticizes Republican senators for failing to check abuses of presidential authority, argues Trump's purges of GOP incumbents risk costing him a Senate majority, and calls a DOJ compensation fund for January 6 participants “Trump suing Trump” and an outrage, given assaults on Capitol Police. He contrasts Senate pushback in Trump's first term with silence in the second, including cuts affecting USAID/PEPFAR and NIH research. Alexander says January 6 undermined the Constitution, praises public service as the best way to help people, prefers being governor to senator, and expresses confidence in America's resilience.You can buy his book from Bookshop.org here.

Todd breaks down the controversy surrounding President Trump's proposed Anti-Weaponization Fund and why critics are calling it a “slush fund.” Todd walks through the origins of the fund, the connection to January 6 prosecutions, and the broader issue of government weaponization against political opponents. He also explores the constitutional tensions, taxpayer concerns, and the dangerous precedent created when political power is used to target Americans. Plus, Todd reflects on leadership, Hillary Clinton's 2016 loss, unanswered questions from the 2020 election, and why accountability in government still matters today. Thought-provoking, candid, and unapologetically conservative without bitterness.

The 2024 election was a disaster for the Democrats. They have never been held to account for any of it. That would ordinarily be the job of the legacy media, but they've long since abandoned any pretense of objectivity. They are part of the “resistance,” and friendly fire is not in the job description.Do I sound bitter? I suppose I am. I once believed in not just the Democratic Party but the Obama coalition. I was a loyal, devoted soldier who believed we were all fighting the good fight, even before Trump won. We were the side that cared about climate change, women's rights, the poor, and the marginalized.It took me decades to go from being a cynical 18-year-old in the 1980s who didn't think there was any point to voting to a person who believed my vote could change the world. That cynicism would be polished off over time, as we headed into the 1990s with political correctness and therapy culture on the rise. We wanted to fix ourselves. We wanted — needed — to fill the void left by the doom spiral in the aftermath of the “Me Generation” and their counterculture revolution.It was Bill Clinton, by way of Aaron Sorkin, who ultimately pulled us out of it and primed us for a spiritual revival under the euphoric, history-making win of Barack Obama. I believed in hope and change. I believed in a new America.I believed my friends on Facebook who treated me with respect and love every time I fired off an impassioned plea for votes. I believed all of the women who made those signs for the Women's March, the Climate March, and the Gun Control March. I, too, thought Trump's win meant America couldn't handle the first black president and the Confederacy was back for another round.What I know now is that none of it was real. We were not the New Puritans leading the country into the promised land. We were like every other political party, seeking absolute power and total control. Any truthful autopsy would have to start there. The Democrats have been lying to themselves and lying to their voters about what these last ten years have really been about: the refusal to relinquish power after losing an election. Democracy becomes a problem for a party that no longer believes in it if the wrong people win.From Real Clear Politics podcast Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon:Any honest autopsy of the 2024 election would have to start back in 2016, when Hillary Clinton was anointed by Obama, who leapfrogged Biden, meaning Biden would finally get his shot in 2020. They should have thought that one through because it would come back to bite them four years later when they pushed him out of office.They practice top-down democracy, in which party leaders attempt to steer voters in the right direction rather than allowing candidates to make the case to the people. The problem with the Democrats is that they needed someone like Donald Trump to blow through their carefully laid plans.The shame of what the Democrats did in 2024 is almost as bad as what they did in 2020 to orchestrate Joe Biden's win. Both of these elections were rooted in the mass delusion that Donald Trump wasn't just a political opponent but an existential threat, so anything goes - even censoring the Hunter Biden laptop, or pushing out a duly elected president.That delusion gave them unlimited power in their minds, which made them the most corrupt political party in my lifetime, taking what never belonged to them, pushing “resistance theater” throughout American society, and coming up mostly empty anyway.A real autopsy would require cleaning house on all of it, admitting everything. It would require admitting to their voters that they knew they were lying about Trump to cover up their own failures.After all, wouldn't it have been easier just to offer the people something better rather than treating Trump like a supervillain that could not be destroyed by ordinary means? No, because their biggest problem is that their only vision for the future is to reach back into the past. They still want to undo the Trump presidency rather than learn from it. They are fighting to bring back the utopia we all built under Barack Obama, and that has been the Democrats' fatal mistake.Barack Obama's grip on the party means they can't move forward.A real autopsy would have to talk about Obama's ongoing influence and control of the party. Why do you think he's making appearances with Zohran Mamdani and James Talarico? He sees them as the party's future because they are Obama clones, more or less. You don't see him out there boosting Gavin Newsom, just as you don't see many leaders on the Left rising to take Obama's place. They must all be shadows of him, which is why it was Kamala Harris in 2024, Joe Biden in 2020, and Hillary Clinton in 2016.Obama couldn't lose. He was treated like a god and king. He was never going to let Trump win this ten-year war. He couldn't hand the country over to the guy who dared question his birth certificate, the guy they called a “racist” and a “rapist,” but more than that, he represented the undoing of the Obama Coalition and the worldwide movement it inspired. There was no way the Democrats were ever going to let that happen. By 2016, they had control of almost everything, from institutions to universities to culture, so why not use it? Exiling and disenfranchising Trump voters was all done in the name of Barack Obama. You see, it had to be racism that gave rise to Trump because Obama couldn't fail.Isn't it so much easier to blame America? To blame it on sexism and racism? Isn't that what they tell themselves now about 2024? America wasn't ready for any woman, especially a woman of color? Isn't it easier to see it that way rather than address the real problem with the utopia we all built: it shuts too many people out?The Culture of Silence and the Climate of FearThe Vanity Fair story about how Democrats fear Kamala Harris running again is telling. Or rather, not telling. They are too afraid to use their real names. It is still considered blasphemy inside the Democratic Party to criticize her, as she has attained Obama-level status. She campaigned for Obama back in 2008 and was once called the “female Obama.” Harris rode the coattails of making history.Winning was easy for her. She was pretty and tough. She made the Democrats look good and won every single race as her star began to rise: District Attorney, Attorney General, Senator, and Vice President, next in line behind a very old Joe Biden. Probably, he would have stepped aside and handed her the presidency had he won a second term. Either way, Harris was not the best choice for Vice President, and the Democrats knew that at the time.The 100 people who signed a letter urging Biden not to choose Harris for “cosmetic reasons” were then shamed back into silence lest they be called racists and misogynists. The so-called autopsy vindicates Harris, which is all part of the same game. She is too big to fail and too popular to be cast aside, especially now after the redistricting fight has put Democrats back in “Jim Crow 2.0” mode.A real autopsy would have to confront this: how they continue to fall back on the same blame game: it's those racists over there. It's not our fault. We haven't failed our voters. We have to stop them. We have to keep fighting this war against them, our fellow Americans.How can they even begin to confront who they are and what they've become? How can they reckon with all of the madness they've put the American people through for ten long years? The January 6th show trials, the lies about Kenosha being a “Civil Rights” protest, the mocking and celebrating of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the raiding of Mar-a-Lago, the censoring of dissent via the FBI on social media, Russiagate, the collapse of a once-thriving culture, impeachments, indictments, and the unending No Kings protests.If they want a real autopsy, they should talk to people like me, once loyal supporters who were chewed up and spit out by a political party that could not tolerate even simple questions about “cancel culture” mass hysteria, or the rising intolerance in the Left writ large, or why someone's career would go up in flames just for voting for Trump. And forget about asking whether toddlers should wear masks or pre-teens should take medication that sterilizes them for life.I walked away from the party in 2020. I couldn't believe what I watched them do, what I helped them do, to drag Joe Biden over the finish line. I knew he was too old. I knew Kamala Harris was a ticking time bomb. I knew it would all blow up in our faces eventually. But lying was so much easier, especially with a full-court press serving as a propaganda front. They have been lying for so long that they don't even know how to stop. The biggest lie was that Trump was a “fascist.” They're still telling that lie. They're still scaring Americans into manic desperation every day. The lies are what drove me away. I couldn't live with them. The truth matters, especially if you're cutting up the body to find out what killed it.The lies began in 2016 when Hillary Clinton, the Democrats, and loyalists like me couldn't face the truth about why she lost. It was one lie piled on top of another, and no one had the courage to face down the social media mobs to set the record straight. Any dissent was met with strict reprisals. Before long, everyone settled into a climate of fear and a culture of silence as the new normal.Their problem goes back to the Art of War. If you don't know yourself or your enemy, you will succumb in every battle. They should first try to understand themselves. If they could just see who and what they are, and why America would choose Trump a second time, they'd be halfway there. Then, if they could understand Trump, who he really is, rather than the character they invented, they'd finally come back to the real world with the rest of us.The Democrats are in love with the dream Obama sold, not the reality of what America became with the Democrats in power. There are too many truths left to face. There are too many ghosts haunting them. There is no point in performing an autopsy on a body with nothing inside but smoke mirrors. // This is a public episode.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode I take on a label that gets thrown around way too casually: ‘far‑right fascist.' I walk through how mainstream politicians, academics, and media smear conservatives as fascists, starting with Biden's ‘semi‑fascism' line and moving through Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, Antifa, the 2020 riots, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I argue that election denial and political violence are bipartisan bad habits, not a one‑sided moral failing. I lay out my three‑axis way of thinking about politics — personal freedom (‘leave me the hell alone'), economic control (capitalism vs. heavy state control), and nationalism — and explain why both fascists and communists fail the ‘leave me the hell alone' test, why today's loud progressives sit closer to the authoritarian left than they admit, and why wanting smaller government and strong borders does not make you Mussolini. If being conservative gets you called a fascist, maybe it's time to stop accepting their definitions — and, if we're going to trade playground insults, to answer that their mother wears army boots

Former President Bill Clinton testified under subpoena in a closed-door deposition before the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his network. Over about six hours of questioning in Chappaqua, New York, Clinton repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities, emphasized that their interactions were limited and long predating Epstein's known crimes, and stressed he “did nothing wrong.” He said he saw “nothing” that gave him pause, may say “I don't recall” on old interactions, and maintained that any association ended years before Epstein's first criminal conviction. Clinton also defended his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who had testified a day earlier and said she had no meaningful connection to Epstein.Republicans on the committee used the deposition to probe Clinton's past travel on Epstein's plane and old photos released in the Epstein Files, while Democrats framed the testimony as part of a broader push for transparency and have called for other high-profile figures, including President Donald Trump, to testify as well.

In this episode, we sit down with Arianna Davis Santana, Executive Editor of Digital at the TODAY Show, to explore what it really means to build a career at the center of modern media, and what ambition looks like once you're inside it.Arianna's career spans some of the most influential names in media: from Oprah Daily (formerly O, The Oprah Magazine) to the TODAY Show, where she now leads digital strategy and editorial direction while also appearing on-air to break down what's trending online.Before that, she helped launch OprahMag.com, the fastest-growing site launch in Hearst Magazines' history, and later helped lead its evolution into Oprah Daily.  She has also shaped editorial storytelling at Refinery29, where she wrote deeply reported features and personal essays centered on culture, identity, and the lived experiences of women.Across every chapter of her career, Arianna has been inside the rooms where modern media is shaped - interviewing icons like Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton, Mariah Carey, John Legend, Will Smith, and more, while also building digital platforms that define what millions of people read, watch, and share.But this conversation goes far beyond titles.We talk about:-The evolution of ambition in modern media-What success actually feels like once you achieve what you thought you wanted-Why leadership sometimes requires a little “Miranda Priestly energy”-How authenticity, kindness, and authority can coexist in powerful women-And how AI, digital culture, and storytelling are reshaping the future of mediaArianna also opens up about the deeper lessons she's learned along the way, including how career setbacks, reinvention, and visibility all shape who you become when no one is watching.At its core, this episode is about rewriting success, redefining ambition, and learning how to lead without losing yourself in the process.  Connect with Arianna:Website: https://www.ariannadavis.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ariannagabLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ariannadavis/What Would Frida Do?: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/arianna-davis/what-would-frida-do/9781541646322/?lens=seal-pressTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ariannagdavisConnect with The Women On Top:Follow The Women On Top Podcast on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcasts.  Subscribe for more empowering conversations and stories!Website: https://thewomenontop.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thewomenontop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewomenontoppodcast/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-lynn/

Bill Press interviews USA Today Washington bureau chief Susan Page about her book, "The Queen and Her Presidents," exploring how Queen Elizabeth II helped sustain the U.S.-U.K. “special relationship” through soft power over her 70-year reign. Page recounts the Queen's meetings with 13 sitting U.S. presidents (plus Herbert Hoover and pre-presidency LBJ), including Truman steadying a nervous young Princess Elizabeth; her reverence for Eisenhower; a complicated early dynamic with the Kennedys; LBJ's refusal to visit amid Vietnam tensions; Nixon's fascination with royal pageantry and his thwarted desire for a state dinner during Watergate; Reagan's bond with her over horses and later knighthood; the “talking hat” mishap with George H.W. Bush; Clinton-era distrust over British file searches; George W. Bush's teasing cowboy-boot moment; the Obama-Michelle protocol “touch” incident; and Trump pressing her about her favorite president. Page argues the Queen, highly briefed and shrewd, quietly smoothed crises (Suez, Ghana, Falklands) and preserved long-term ties.Get "The Queen and Her Presidents" book here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-queen-and-her-presidents-the-hidden-hand-that-shaped-history-susan-page/065fc3604a68c142?ean=9780063397392&next=tSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' writer Jesse McLaren joins Mark Malkoff to discuss his path from 'Colbert Report'  intern and viral BuzzFeed creator to Kimmel staff writer. McLaren shares stories about getting hired off Twitter, writing Oscar jokes, producing celebrity sketches with Brian Cox and Jimmy Kimmel's 2003 self, creating the wax-figure prank that terrified Kimmel's cousin Micki, and turning internet obsessions—from Ariana Grande's impossible stool pose to Hillary Clinton doing the Macarena—into viral comedy.

Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (5.13) Beloved by degenerates, Timmy is really gonna miss Primm. The workers who live there have been given notice of eviction. It’s politics season! And the polling is always wrong. Remember political commentator Steve Kornacki’s polling during the presidential election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton? He got it so very wrong. Target is renovating! The chain store has survived the boycotts, the stealing, the fire at the Burbank location — and now it’s about to go through a major remodel of 130 locations in a bid to entice shoppers back to its stores. Around 75% of Americans live within 10 miles of a Target store! A new report shows US household debt is at a record high. This includes credit card, mortgage and loan debt to the tune of $18 trillion. There is so much distance between the haves and have-nots. And the most dangerous person is the one who has nothing to lose. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fox News continues to stumble and bluff its way through an incoherent sales pitch for Trump's poorly planned war with Iran. Sean Hannity along with some of the last remaining neocons also promoted the worst idea in the world - sending weapons to the Iranian people.It was 1979 again in the absolute worst way possible.Normally the network forms a united front about any given topic, narrows in on its target and repeatedly pummels it. Fox News hosts will often use the exact same phrasing, slogans, catch phrases, and battle cries across multiple programs.Since the war started Fox has been a disorganized mess.At the start of the week Project Freedom, Trump's plan to open the Strait of Hormuz, was sold as a brilliant strategic move that would bring a quick end to the war. When it collapsed almost immediately after it was implemented the folks on Fox splintered.Hosts on Fox & Friends shared their doubts about the war, Jesse Watters made excuses for the president, Sean Hannity sold it as a checkmate move and the folks on The Five stopped talking about the war entirely.Fox News knows how to whip its audience into a frenzy about urban crime, dangerous migrants, woke blue-haired teenagers, eminent communist revolutions, anti-white DEI schemes and shifty transgender athletes but it can't seem to figure out how to sell the idea of another protracted war in the Middle East or soften the blow around high gas prices.Sean Hannity thought it was a good idea to recycle some of the worst foreign policy ideas of decades past. He also got so desperate last week he included extended segments about former president Barack Obama even repeating talking points from 2008.If he could have found a way to bring up Hillary Clinton's emails, bleach bit servers, Hunter Biden's laptop and Bill Clinton's sock drawer he would have.The network also shifted its focus to topics it knows well - trashing Democrats and endorsing long-shot Republican candidates in California.

Amanda Litman is an author, digital strategist, and the co-founder and president of “Run For Something” - an organization which recruits and supports young, diverse progressive candidates. Since launching in 2017, Run For Something has helped to elect more than 1,500 leaders across 49 states- primarily women and people of color. Outspoken against “bad boomer leadership” and a “boomer mentality” in politics, Litman is also president of RFS Civics - a 501c3 that works to end the gerontocracy. Shortly after launching Run for Something, Amanda wrote the book Run for Something: A Real-Talk Guide to Fixing the System Yourself and has recently published her latest book, When We’re in Charge: The Next Generation’s Guide to Leadership in May 2025. Litman cites Barack Obama as her inspiration to work in politics and started her career as an email writer for his 2012 re-election campaign. From there, Litman worked as a digital strategist for Hilary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, Charlie Crist's 2014 Florida gubernatorial campaign, and served as the deputy email director for Organizing for Action. Litman is a strong advocate for a new style of “next gen” leadership and setting a new standard for this upcoming generation of leaders.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bill Press interviews psychologist Dr. John Gartner about a new ABC/Washington Post poll finding 59% of Americans believe Donald Trump is mentally unfit for the presidency and a physicians' letter urging Trump's lawful removal due to an unsanctioned war and his sole authority over nuclear weapons. Gartner argues Trump is a “malignant narcissist” with worsening frontotemporal dementia, claiming his disinhibition, tangential speech, confabulation, language errors, and loss of social context are increasingly visible, citing clips about “SEA” vs “SEE,” a Sharpie story, and graphic remarks to schoolchildren. He links Trump's self-glorification (coins, passports, building names, images as Pope/Jesus, a triumphal arch) to delusions of grandeur and warns of escalating war and possible first-use nuclear action, doubting political checks like the 25th Amendment or Senate conviction.
