No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta segunda-feira (09/03/2026): O Irã anunciou ontem a escolha de Mojtaba Khamenei, de 56 anos, segundo filho de Ali Khamenei, como novo líder supremo do país. Como o pai, ele é um aiatolá, ou seja, um clérigo de alto escalão dentro do islamismo xiita. Mojtaba serviu no exército iraniano durante a Guerra Irã-Iraque e teria liderado uma milícia paramilitar. Em 2024, quando sua sucessão começou a ser planejada, Ali Khamenei teria afirmado que seu filho deveria ser excluído da disputa. Ontem, antes do anúncio, o presidente americano, Donald Trump, afirmou que o próximo líder “não vai durar muito” sem sua aprovação. Na semana passada, Trump chegou a dizer que o nome de Mojtaba era “inaceitável”. Diante do novo líder e da escalada do conflito, o preço do petróleo disparou e ultrapassou a marca de US$ 100 por barril pela primeira vez desde 2022.

Os investigadores da Polícia Federal e da Procuradoria-Geral da República responsáveis pelo caso do Banco Master pretendem priorizar os inquéritos sobre os supostos crimes financeiros do banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro antes de começar a apurar o envolvimento de políticos. Existe a preocupação de não ampliar excessivamente o escopo da investigação para não perder o foco inicial do caso, que era a suspeita de irregularidades na venda do Master ao Banco de Brasília (BRB). Por causa disso, o vazamento de informações do celular do banqueiro causou desconforto entre os investigadores, que temem a destruição de provas e outros prejuízos à apuração. Um desses vazamentos mostrou supostas conversas de Vorcaro com o ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal Alexandre de Moraes em 17 de novembro do ano passado, dia em que o banqueiro foi preso pela primeira vez. Em nota, Moraes nega ter recebido as mensagens de Vorcaro. Segundo o texto, uma análise técnica realizada nos dados telemáticos do banqueiro constatou que “as mensagens de visualização única enviadas por ele no dia 17 de novembro de 2025 não conferem com os contatos do ministro Alexandre de Moraes nos arquivos apreendidos”. Além disso, há indícios de negócios entre o Master e a família do ministro Dias Toffoli, que chegou a relatar o caso no STF, mas foi pressionado a se afastar, deixando a relatoria para o ministro André Mendonça. Em entrevista à Rádio Eldorado, Elival Ramos, professor titular de Direito Constitucional, da Faculdade de Direito da USP, disse que um eventual impeachment de ministros do STF está previsto na Constituição em casos como “proceder de modo incompatível com a honra, a dignidade e o decoro de suas funções”, mas ressaltou que tudo deve ser apurado e comprovado. “Na medida em que sejam confirmados esses fatos é óbvio que haveria um enquadramento nesse dispositivo, mas isso seria de competência do Senado Federal”, afirmou.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The man who took Nancy Guthrie has been called sloppy, amateurish, incompetent by every talking head on cable news. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke disagrees. After 21 years with the Bureau—including leading the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—his assessment is clear: what we're seeing on that doorbell footage isn't unusual. It's baseline.The Walmart backpack. The awkward holster placement. The improvised camera cover fashioned from potted plant foliage. Dreeke explains this is what actual criminal operations look like. The movies trained us to expect meticulous planning and elegant execution. Real offenders show up with cheap equipment and figure it out as they go. The cases that get solved typically involve exactly this preparation level. We just don't broadcast those nationally.The uncomfortable question: this suspect's operation was messy and it's still working. Four weeks—no identification, no arrest, no vehicle. Sloppy-but-successful tells us something different than sloppy-and-caught. Dreeke examines whether this is someone who lacks capacity or someone driven by desperation or compulsion. The willingness to proceed despite being recorded, problem-solving on camera in real time—that might not be stupidity.Drawing on his counterintelligence background, Dreeke explains what a genuinely sophisticated version of this operation would have looked like—and how wide the gap is between trained tradecraft and what appears on the Guthrie footage.Meanwhile, calls for Sheriff Chris Nanos's removal grow louder daily. But what would it take? A recall requires roughly 121,825 signatures in 120 days—near impossible. Impeachment doesn't apply to county officers in Arizona. Two AG investigations have gone silent. Nanos won by 481 votes. His deputies voted no confidence. His supervisors twice requested outside investigations.

Everyone watching the Nancy Guthrie case has said the same thing: the suspect looks incompetent. The Walmart backpack. The awkward holster. The camera cover made from plant leaves. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke says that assessment misses the point entirely.Dreeke spent 21 years with the FBI, including serving as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. His analysis: this suspect isn't unusually sloppy. He's average. The cases that get solved—home invasions, abductions, crimes that end in arrests—most involve exactly this level of preparation. Hollywood has conditioned us to expect professional-grade execution. Real offenders show up with cheap gear and improvise.The difference here is that a nation is watching. And four weeks later, the suspect remains unidentified. No arrest. No vehicle. His operation was messy—and it's still working.Dreeke examines what that actually means. Is this someone who plans poorly because they lack capacity? Or someone who proceeds despite being recorded because they're desperate or compulsive? The willingness to continue on camera, solving problems in real time—that's not necessarily stupidity. It might indicate something else entirely.As the investigation stalls, calls for Sheriff Chris Nanos's removal have intensified. But Arizona law makes that nearly impossible. A recall would require approximately 121,825 valid signatures in 120 days. Two Attorney General investigations have produced no charges. Impeachment doesn't exist for county officers under Arizona's constitution.Nanos won reelection by 481 votes. His deputies voted no confidence. The Board of Supervisors twice requested outside investigations. He placed his political opponent on administrative leave weeks before the election. The system designed to protect elected officials from political removal now shields him from accountability until 2028.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke is delivering an assessment of the Nancy Guthrie suspect that contradicts four weeks of cable news analysis. The man on that doorbell footage isn't uniquely incompetent. According to Dreeke, who spent 21 years with the Bureau including time as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, what we're seeing is baseline criminal behavior.The Walmart backpack. The awkward holster. The camera cover improvised from potted plant foliage. Dreeke explains this is what real offenders look like when you remove the Hollywood filter.

We just don't have a nation watching those.Tonight we're examining the gap between trained tradecraft and what appears on the Guthrie footage. Dreeke walks through what a genuinely sophisticated version of this operation would have looked like. The uncomfortable truth: this suspect's approach was messy, and it's still working. Four weeks. No ID. No arrest. No vehicle. At what point does sloppy-but-successful mean something different?The willingness to proceed despite being recorded. The real-time problem-solving on camera. Is that lack of capacity—or is it desperation? Compulsion? Something else?Meanwhile, calls for Sheriff Chris Nanos's removal have reached unprecedented levels. But what would it actually take? We break down Arizona's legal mechanisms. A recall requires roughly 121,825 signatures in 120 days—near impossible math. Impeachment doesn't apply to county officers. Two AG investigations have gone silent. Nanos won reelection by 481 votes. His own deputies voted no confidence.

Understanding the Drone War w/ AFSOC Pilot/Drone Expert Nolan Peterson. Khamenei is Dead. Calls for Impeachment. Graham: Cuba is Next. Hegseth vs Ivy League.  The war is on. The U.S. and Israel are continuing major strikes against Iran in what the Pentagon is calling Operation Epic Fury—killing the Ayatollah and triggering a cascade of drone attacks, friendly fire incidents, and four American service members killed in action (so far), while Trump threatens boots on the ground and Congress was home for the weekend and never even bothered to vote on it all. This is not working, America.  In this episode of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff explains and makes sense of the choas–and is joined by returning champion Nolan Peterson—Non-resident Senior Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, former Air Force Special Operations pilot combat vet, war reporter, Pentagon defense consultant, and co-founder of American Veterans for Ukraine—to explain what is really happening in the skies over Iran, the drone war already reshaping modern combat from Kyiv to Tehran to Tel Aviv, and what could be coming to our own shores from an aviation and drone expert who has spent over a decade living in Kyiv through full-scale war. Paul and Nolan unpack the three ways drones are transforming warfare: tactical battlefield dominance; unconventional strategic operations like Ukraine's Operation Spider Web (which you need to know about), and the reimagining of strategic air power via cheap, mass-produced drones. They confront the nightmare scenario generated by the Iran war of an adversary using that same technology to strike the American homeland and examine what it means that the Pentagon just kicked AI company Anthropic out for refusing to put AI into the kill chain—right before launching a new war. This is the show for people who refuse to zone out, digging into the failures of Congress, the human cost borne by military families, and Nolan's emotional reflections on welcoming home the next generation of veterans; Episode 453 is raw, urgent, and essential listening.  Skip the corporate and partisan media.

In this podcast, Jeff discusses the attack on the Iranian terror regime by the U.S. and Israel — and the impact on the Middle East and the world. Will loud MAGA voices continue to do all they can to stop the fall of the mullahs of Iran? Or will they put aside their anti-semitism for the sake of America and the free world?

Listen to this episode on the prospects of Sara Duterte's possible impeachment for a second time.

Welcome to episode 85 of the Hidden History of Texas, today I'm talking about one of the most Notorious Governors of Texas - James "PA" Ferguson. James Edward (Pa) Ferguson, Texas governor, was born in 1871 near Salado, which is in Bell County and is fairly close to where I am, to James Edward and Fannie (Fitzpatrick) Ferguson. Sadly, his father passed away when Pa was only four, and his mother, being a true strong Texas woman stayed on working the farm and he began working in the fields as a young boy. When he was 12, he entered Salado College, which was a local preparatory school, but in a sign of things to come, was expelled for disobedience. At age 16 he left home for a life on the road and wandered throughout the Western states, where he did any type of job he could find. Eventually he returned home to Bell County, where he tried farming and working on a  railroad-bridge gang. He did use this time to begin to study law and in 1897 he was admitted to the bar. He opened up a practice in Belton and then in 1899 he married Miriam A. Wallace. The couple had two children and since in those days lawyers weren't as busy as they are today, he expanded his personal interests to real estate and insurance. He then turned his attention to banking and for several years was not only a member of the Texas Bankers Association but also associated with the Farmers State Bank of Belton. In 1907 he moved his family to the larger town of Temple where he joined in the formation and establishment of the Temple State Bank. Needless to say, it was during this time period when he was involved with banking that he also took an active interest in county and local politics. In spite of the fact that he never held a local office he was very aware of how local politics worked. He was a staunch opponent of prohibition and had fought against allowing what was known as the local-option out of Bell County.  He served as a campaign manager for Robert V. Davidson in 1910 and worked with Oscar B. Colquitt in his successful gubernatorial campaign in 1912. Prohibition had been a major issue in the 1914 campaign, and there were candidates for the governor's race on both sides of the issue. The prohibitionists held an elimination convention and pledged their support to Thomas H. Ball of Houston. The anti-prohibitionists tried to have their own convention, but Ferguson, even though he had been identified as an anti-prohibitionist, refused to publicly support it. As a result, the leaders at the convention was not able to eliminate him from receiving their endorsement and while they did not endorse him the other anti-prohibition candidates withdrew from the race. Due to his popularity Ferguson easily won the nomination by a majority of about 40,000 votes. Ferguson proved to be one of the more captivating speakers and had a native ability to persuade people. He was a masterful public speaker. His most popular and talked about proposition was a law that would actually limit how much rent a landlord could charge. For the folks who were known as “tenant farmers” this proved to be very popular. It was not popular among landowners, and he tried to assure landowners that the law would prove to be beneficial to everyone. After his election he was successful in getting the law passed, but it was soon declared unconstitutional. During his term the state began to provide aid to rural schools and there was enacted a relatively minor law that required compulsory school attendance. He was in favor of helping schools, and colleges were permitted to begin building programs. In order to pay for everything, educational appropriation bills were more generous than usual. Needless to say, these changes increased the ad valorem tax rate for state purposes advanced from 12½ to 30 cents. The prison system increased its landownership and since Texas had many ‘prison farms' the system benefited from the rising price of farm commodities. During World War I the system became self-sustaining and profitable. In 1916 Ferguson's reelection seemed almost a certainty. The prohibitionists decided to support a relatively unknown Charles H. Morris of Winnsboro. The major issues of the campaign were prohibition, the tax rate, and certain  rumors concerning the Ferguson administration. Regardless of the rumors, Ferguson was reelected by a majority of about 60,000 votes, but there was enough opposition to show that many Texans were not completely pleased with his administration. His second administration did little of consequence, except pass enough appropriation bills to force the tax rate to rise to the constitutional maximum of 35 cents. This is when old Pa made a serious mistake. He got involved in a quarrel with the University of Texas.  Turns out the board of regents refused to fire some faculty members that the governor didn't like. Well, he threw a Texas sized temper tantrum and vetoed almost the entire appropriation for the university. Needless to say, this generated a lot of news and interest, but it also sparked a desire from some members of the legislature to conduct an impeachment trial. Remember how, I said that during the campaign there had been rumors about some issues with his administration? Well while preliminary investigations failed to uncover any charge that would merit impeachment, once he became embroiled in his dispute with the university, those old charges bubbled back to the surface. Coincidently at about the same time a number of new charges were made and on July 21, 1917, Ferguson was called before the Travis County grand jury. To the surprise of no one the grand jury announced that he had been indicted on nine charges. Seven of the charges related to misapplication of public funds, one to embezzlement, and one to the diversion of a special fund. He posted a $13,000 bond and announced his candidacy for a third term as governor. The speaker of the House decided to call a special session of the legislature, (remember the legislature in Texas only meets every 2 years) to consider charges of impeachment against the governor. While the speaker's call was most likely not legal (only the governor can call a special session) Ferguson removed any doubt by himself calling the legislature to meet for the purpose of making appropriations for the University of Texas. This backfired-on Ferguson because the House immediately turned its attention to the numerous charges against him and ended up preparing twenty-one articles of impeachment. After a three-week trial in the senate, he was convicted on ten of the charges. On five of them he was convicted of misapplication of public funds, of course 3 of those were related to his quarrel with the University. One of them stated that he had failed to properly respect and enforce the banking laws. And the third charged that he had received $156,500 in currency from a source that he refused to reveal. Nine of the charges can be described as violations of the law, while the obtaining of $156,500 from a secret source while not legal was absolutely not good policy for a governor. He was removed from office by a vote of twenty-five to three and declared him ineligible to hold any office of honor, trust, or profit under the state of Texas. Fighting to the end Ferguson declared that the legislature constituted little more than a "kangaroo court," except that just a couple of months before the House and the Senate had refused to sustain charges against him. He believed that his  removal from office was far from certain when the legislature convened in special session. However, he underestimated the seriousness of his quarrel with the University of Texas. He resigned his office the day before the judgment was announced and contended that it did not apply to him. The question was eventually carried into the courts, where the judgment of the Court of Impeachment was sustained. While in many cases, being impeached and made ineligible to hold any office of trust or profit in the state would spell an end to a person's political life; this was not the case for PA. In 1918 he sought the Democratic party nomination for the governorship but was defeated by William P. Hobby. In 1920 he was an unsuccessful candidate for President on his own American party ticket. In 1922 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the United States Senate. Finally In 1924, unable to run under his own name, he ran his wife's campaign for the governorship against Judge Felix Robertson, the candidate endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan. The Fergusons beat Robertson and went to the Governor's Mansion for a third time. Two years later they lost a reelection bid amid new scandals concerning excessive pardons and political patronage abuses.   James Ferguson died on September 21, 1944, and was buried in the State Cemetery in Austin. Next time I'll take a look at Ma Ferguson as our look at some of the most notorious governors of Texas. This is the Hidden History Of Texas

Pam Bondi must go as Attorney General. Whether by resignation, removal and replacement, or impeachment, Pam Bondi must go. She can no longer be allowed to be the Attorney General for the United States . Bondi must go not just because she showed complete and utter contempt for Congress in her recent testimony, Bondi must go because she showed complete and utter contempt, disregard, and disrespect for the victims of Epstein's crimes. At the recent House Judiciary Committee hearing, Bondi literally would not turn and look at or acknowledge the enduring pain of the victims of Epstein's crimes.

Pam Bondi must go as Attorney General. Whether by resignation, removal and replacement, or impeachment, Pam Bondi must go. She can no longer be allowed to be the Attorney General for the United States . Bondi must go not just because she showed complete and utter contempt for Congress in her recent testimony, Bondi must go because she showed complete and utter contempt, disregard, and disrespect for the victims of Epstein's crimes. At the recent House Judiciary Committee hearing, Bondi literally would not turn and look at or acknowledge the enduring pain of the victims of Epstein's crimes.

A operação foi determinada pelo ministro Alexandre de Moraes, a pedido da PGR. A Receita informou que havia detectado violação de dados de autoridades protegidas por sigilo, mas não informou se os dados vazados pertencem a ministros do Supremo e seus parentes. As vítimas do vazamento seriam a mulher de Moraes e o filho de um ministro da Corte. Os alvos da operação foram quatro servidores da Receita cedidos a outros órgãos. Entre diversas outras medidas, Moraes determinou que os quatro sejam afastados e monitorados por tornozeleira eletrônica.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta sexta-feira (13):O ministro do STF Dias Toffoli é alvo de dez pedidos de impeachment apresentados no Senado, sendo que três requerimentos citam o caso do Banco Master como principal motivação. A abertura do processo depende de decisão do presidente da Casa e, embora prevista na Constituição, nunca foi aplicada no Brasil. Novo relator do caso Banco Master no STF, o ministro André Mendonça se reuniu com delegados da Polícia Federal para entender o estágio das investigações e alinhar procedimentos. Após assumir a relatoria por sorteio, ele deve analisar pedidos de parlamentares e avaliar a possibilidade de levantamento do sigilo do processo, que foi imposto anteriormente na Corte. Uma sessão reservada do STF sobre a relatoria do caso Banco Master teve forte tom político e discussão interna entre os ministros. Após divergências, Dias Toffoli deixou a condução do processo, que foi redistribuído a André Mendonça. A divulgação de diálogos da reunião gerou suspeitas de gravação clandestina, hipótese negada posteriormente pelo ministro. Uma lancha naufragou durante o trajeto entre Manaus e Nova Olinda do Norte, nas proximidades do Encontro das Águas. Informações preliminares indicam que ao menos 70 pessoas foram resgatadas e que a embarcação não possuía coletes salva-vidas. O Corpo de Bombeiros do Amazonas foi acionado e a ocorrência segue em andamento, sem confirmação oficial do número de vítimas e feridos. A deputada federal Adriana Ventura (Novo-SP) reúne assinaturas para protocolar uma proposta de emenda à Constituição que torna obrigatória a adoção de um código de conduta e integridade no Judiciário brasileiro, incluindo ministros do STF e de tribunais superiores. Para começar a tramitar, a PEC precisa de 171 assinaturas, e, segundo a assessoria da parlamentar, 46 apoios já foram obtidos. O ministro do Empreendedorismo, Márcio França, afirmou estar apto a disputar o governo de São Paulo nas eleições de 2026, mas destacou que a decisão final caberá ao presidente Lula. Outros nomes, como Fernando Haddad, Simone Tebet e Geraldo Alckmin, também são cotados para compor uma eventual chapa do PT no estado.O presidente Lula se reuniu com o senador Rodrigo Pacheco e voltou a defender que ele dispute o governo de Minas Gerais para fortalecer o palanque do PT em 2026. Apesar da insistência, o parlamentar manteve a indefinição sobre a candidatura e afirmou que só concorreria se não houvesse alternativa competitiva no estado. A Câmara dos Deputados analisa um projeto de lei que prevê o pagamento de um 13º salário para famílias beneficiárias do Bolsa Família. A proposta busca garantir um fim de ano com maior suporte financeiro aos inscritos no programa social, mas ainda depende de tramitação e aprovação no Congresso Nacional. O Tribunal Superior Eleitoral indicou que o presidente Lula (PT) ainda pode sofrer sanções relacionadas ao desfile da escola Acadêmicos de Niterói, que prestará homenagem ao político. Apesar de não impedir a apresentação, a Corte fez ressalvas e manteve o processo em aberto, permitindo que partidos acionem novamente o TSE caso entendam que houve ato eleitoral antecipado.

No 3 em 1 desta quinta-feira (12), o destaque foi a decisão do ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal, Dias Toffoli, que determinou que a Polícia Federal envie à Corte os dados extraídos de celulares e computadores apreendidos na investigação do Banco Master. Em meio à repercussão do relatório da PF, o presidente do STF, Edson Fachin, encerrou a sessão e se reuniu com os demais ministros para discutir o caso e a relatoria do processo. O ministro Dias Toffoli confirmou ser sócio de uma empresa que vendeu um resort citado nas investigações do caso Banco Master. Após o encerramento da sessão, o presidente da Corte, Edson Fachin, convocou reunião com os demais ministros para discutir o material entregue pela Polícia Federal e a resposta apresentada por Toffoli. O banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro sinalizou a senadores a possibilidade de prestar depoimento público na Comissão de Assuntos Econômicos do Senado no dia 24 de fevereiro, quando deve falar pela primeira vez sobre o escândalo envolvendo o Banco Master. O governo da Rússia ampliou as restrições digitais e passou a bloquear também o WhatsApp, além do Instagram e do Facebook, que já tinham limitações desde o início da guerra na Ucrânia. A medida busca incentivar a migração dos usuários para plataformas russas, o que levanta críticas sobre vigilância estatal e controle da informação no país. Em entrevista ao programa Pânico, da Jovem Pan, o senador e pré-candidato à Presidência Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) afirmou que uma eventual vitória dele nas eleições poderia “acabar com a polarização” política no Brasil. Durante a conversa, ele também criticou o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva e disse que a esquerda perderia força após o pleito. O governador de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), afirmou ter conversado com ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal sobre a possibilidade de prisão domiciliar para o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Segundo ele, há precedentes jurídicos e a mudança de regime seria necessária diante do estado de saúde do ex-mandatário. O governador confirmou ainda que vai se reunir com o senador e pré-candidato à Presidência, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), após o Carnaval. O encontro deve servir para alinhar estratégias políticas e eleitorais para 2026. Ambos destacaram a relação de confiança e apoio mútuo, reforçando a articulação da direita para as próximas eleições.

Demokraci najprawdopodobniej przejmą kontrolę nad Izbą Reprezentantów w listopadowych wyborach parlamentarnych, pozostawiając Republikanów w mniejszości przez ostatnie dwa lata prezydentury Donalda Trumpa. Dzisiaj analizuje historyczne trendy, aktualne sondaże i realne szanse obu partii, a nawet odwiedza mnie Miłosz Sowa, żeby dodać swoją perspektywę. Także skupiam się na tym, co Demokraci zrobią po zwycięstwie: czy realny jest kolejny impeachment Trumpa, jak dokładnie wygląda ta procedura, jakie śledztwa ruszą i jak kontrola nad Izbą wpłynie na agendę prezydenta. Przedstawiam teorie, że taka porażka Republikanów nie musi być aż tak katastrofalna, a w niektórych aspektach może nawet pomóc GOP w perspektywie 2028 roku.

Trump has reassembled his 2020 election conspiracy team as Tulsi Gabbard leads an FBI raid in Fulton County, Georgia, seizing 700 boxes of ballots from the 2020 election. The raid represents Trump's strategy to undermine the legitimacy of the 2026 midterm elections before they even happen. With Republicans facing devastating losses in both the House and Senate, Trump knows two years of Democratic investigations and multiple impeachments await him. Will Sommer reports on the batshit conspiracy theories fueling this election attack, from Sydney Powell's Venezuelan voting machine claims to the Hammer and Scorecard supercomputer theory. Tulsi Gabbard, as Director of National Intelligence, has no law enforcement authority yet accompanied FBI agents and called Trump from the scene. The investigation resurrects discredited conspiracy theorists like Dennis Montgomery and references Hugo Chavez, dead for years, supposedly influencing Dominion voting systems. Meanwhile, Dan Bongino returned to podcasting after his brief FBI stint, immediately landing a Trump interview where the president threatened to seize control of elections in 15 states. The connection between the Fulton County raid, Tulsi Gabbard's investigation, and Trump's 2026 midterm strategy reveals a coordinated effort to cast doubt on any Democratic victories. Sydney Powell hints at something big happening, while Trump reposts QAnon theories about Italian satellites and CIA programs flipping votes. The legitimacy of future elections hangs in the balance as Trump deploys every conspiracy theory and charlatan from 2020 to poison the well for 2026.

6. Guest Author: Victor Davis Hanson. Headline: Sanctuary Nullification and Weaponized Impeachment. Summary: Hanson describes "sanctuary cities" as a form of nullification where local jurisdictions illegally defy federal immigration law. He also contends that impeachment has been distorted into a partisan tool used against presidents who lose congressional majorities, effectively breaking the constitutional mechanism intended for high crimes.1914.

In this episode, we discuss how artificial intelligence is increasingly blurring the line between assistance and deception, from using AI tools to troubleshoot everyday problems to the growing risks of deepfake images and AI-generated pornography. We examine questions of name, image, and likeness as property, the limits of regulation, and whether government enforcement can realistically keep pace with rapidly evolving technology. We also dive into the foolishness of the week involving the Smithsonian and renewed debates over Trump's impeachments, before turning to broader political questions about gerrymandering, census data, immigration, and representation. The conversation closes with a look at election denial, political extremism, rising distrust in institutions, and how economic anxiety continues to fuel anger and division across American society. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:26 Fixing a Computer with AI Assistance 02:00 Listener Calendar Story and Patreon Banter 03:52 AI, Deepfake Porn, and Image Ownership 05:14 Grok and AI Image Manipulation 08:01 AI Guardrails 10:44 Foolishness of the Week: Smithsonian and Trump's Impeachments 12:15 Trump, Impeachment, and Historical Legacy 14:54 Does Trump Care About His Legacy? 17:05 Midterm Elections and House Control 18:45 Gerrymandering, Courts, and State Power 20:15 Urban vs Rural Political Divide 22:09 Redistricting, Census Rules, and Immigration 24:25 Census Overreach and Bad Data 26:00 Political Representation and Imperfect Systems 27:52 Why America Still Attracts Immigrants 28:47 Peaceful Transfers of Power and January 6 29:53 Election Denial and Institutional Trust 33:21 Political Extremism and Rising Violence 35:01 Protests, Policing, and Fear of Government 37:57 Midterms, Election Fallout, and Political Violence 38:54 Economic Anxiety and Political Anger Learn more about your ad choices.

With the American republic hanging in the balance, Ralph calls on Democrats to pressure Republicans in the House and Senate to impeach Trump before the midterms or suffer the consequences. Then, we welcome Dino Grandoni, co-author of a Washington Post report on the surprising ways various species of animals and plants help advance our own health and longevity.Dino Grandoni is a reporter who covers life sciences for the Washington Post. He was part of a reporting team that was a finalist for the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting for coverage of Hurricane Helene. He previously covered the Environmental Protection Agency and wrote a daily tipsheet on energy and environmental policy. He is co-author (with Hailey Haymond and Katty Huertas) of the feature “50 Species That Save Us.”The Democrats—while there are people like constitutional law expert Jamie Raskin (who has said a shadow hearing to publicly educate the American people on impeachment “is a good idea”) he's been muzzled by Hakeem Jeffries and Charlie Schumer, who basically don't want the Democrats to use the word impeachment. So who's using the word impeachment the most? Donald Trump—not only wants to impeach judges who decide against him, but he's talking about the Democrats impeaching him, and he uses the word all the time. So we have an upside-down situation here where the opposition party is not in the opposition on the most critical factor, which is that we have the most impeachable President in American history, getting worse by the day.Ralph NaderIf the founding fathers came back to life today, would any of them oppose the impeachment, conviction, and removal of office of Donald J. Trump, who talks about being a monarch? That's what they fought King George over. Of course, they would all support it.Ralph NaderWhat we have in these cards and in our stories at the Washington Post here are examples of the ways we know, the ways that scientists have uncovered how plants and animals help us. But we don't know what we don't know. There are likely numerous other ways that plants and animals are protecting human well-being that we don't know and we may very well never know if some of these species go extinct.Dino GrandoniI'm always eager to find these connections between human well-being and the well-being of nature and try to describe them in ways that are compelling to readers that get them to care about protecting nature. And also finding those instances (because I want to be objective here) of when human well-being and the well-being of nature might be in conflict, and that might involve some tough decisions that we as a society or policymakers have to make.Dino GrandoniNews 1/16/25* Our top two stories this week concern corporate wrongdoing. First, Business Insider reports that the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection has released a new report which estimates Uber Eats and DoorDash, by altering their tipping processes in the city – moving tipping prompts to less prominent locations after checkout so upfront delivery costs would appear lower – have deprived gig delivery workers of $550 million since December 2023. As this piece notes, that was the month that New York City's minimum pay law for delivery workers took effect. As a result, “The average tip for delivery workers on the apps dropped 75%...from $3.66 to $0.93, one week after the apps made the changes…The figure has since declined to $0.76 per delivery.” This report presages a new city law that “requires the apps to offer customers the option to tip before or during checkout. Both Uber and DoorDash have sued the City over the law, which is set to take effect on January 26.” Whether the administration will stick to their guns on this issue, in the face of corporate pressure, will be a major early test for Mayor Zohran Mamdani.* Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports UnitedHealth Group “deployed aggressive tactics to collect payment-boosting diagnoses for its Medicare Advantage members.” As the Journal explains, “In Medicare Advantage, the federal government pays insurers a lump sum to oversee medical benefits for seniors and disabled people. The government pays extra for patients with certain costly medical conditions, a process called risk adjustment.” A new report from the Senate Judiciary Committee found that UnitedHealth had “turned risk adjustment into a business,” thereby exploiting Medicare Advantage and systematically and fraudulently overbilling the federal government. Due to its structure, advocates like Ralph Nader have long warned that Medicare Advantage is ripe for waste fraud and abuse, in addition to being an inferior program for seniors compared to traditional Medicare. This report supports the accuracy of these warnings. Yet, Dr. Mehmet Oz Trump's appointee to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, is a longtime proselytizer for Medicare Advantage and this setback is unlikely to make him reverse course, no matter the cost to patients or taxpayers.* Yet, even as these instances of corporate criminal lawlessness pile up, the Trump administration is all but abolishing the police on the corporate crime beat. In a new report, Rick Claypool, corporate crime research director at Public Citizen, documents how the administration has “canceled or halted a total of 159 enforcement actions against 166 corporations.” This amounts to corporations avoiding payments totaling $3.1 billion in penalties for misconduct. This report further documents how these corporations have ingratiated themselves with Trump, via donations to his inauguration or ballroom project, or more typical revolving door or lobbying arrangements. As Claypool himself puts it, “The ‘law enforcement' claims the White House uses as a pretext for authoritarian anti-immigrant crackdowns, city occupations, and imperial resource seizures abroad lose all credibility when cast against the lawlessness Trump allows for the pursuit of corporate profits.”* In another instance of a Trump administration giveaway to corporations, the New York Times reports the Environmental Protection Agency will “Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution.” Under the new regulatory regime, the EPA will “estimate only the costs to businesses of complying with the rules.” The Times explains that different administrations have balanced these competing interests differently, always faced with the morbid dilemma of how much, in a dollar amount, to value human life; but “until now, no administration has counted it as zero.”* Moving to Congress, the big news from the Legislative Branch this week has to do with Bill and Hillary Clinton. NPR reports Congressman James Comer, Chair of the House Oversight Committee, issued subpoenas to the former president and former Secretary of State to testify in a committee hearing related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter published earlier this week, the Clintons formally rejected the subpoenas, calling them “legally invalid.” The Clintons' refusal to appear tees up an opportunity for Congress to exercise its contempt power and force the couple to testify. Democrats on the Oversight Committee, who agreed to issue the subpoenas as part of a larger list, have noted that “most of the other people have not been forced to testify,” indicating that this is a political stunt rather than an earnest effort. That said, there is little doubt that, at least, former President Clinton knows more about the Epstein affair than he has stated publicly thus far and there is a good chance Congress will vote through a contempt resolution and force him to testify.* In the Senate, Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy and other liberal Senators are “urging their Democratic colleagues to pivot to economic populism by ‘confronting' corporate power and billionaires, warning that just talking about affordability alone won't move swing voters who backed President Trump in 2024,” per the Hill. Senators Adam Schiff of California and Tina Smith of Minnesota also signed this memo. The Senators cited a recent poll that found Americans “increasingly cannot afford basic goods such as medical care and groceries,” but they also warned that “Bland policy proposals — without a narrative explaining who is getting screwed and who is doing the screwing – will not work.” Hopefully this forceful urging by fellow Senators will move the needle within the Democratic caucus in the upper house. Nothing else seems to have driven the point home.* One candidate who seems to understand this message is Graham Platner of Maine. Platner, who is endorsed by Bernie Sanders, has a controversial past that includes a career in the Marines and a stint working for the private military contractor Blackwater. However, he is running as a staunch economic populist and New Deal style progressive Democrat – and the message appears to be working. According to Zeteo, a poll conducted in mid-December found Platner up by 15 points in the primary over his opponent, current Governor Janet Mills. More concerning is the fact that this same poll shows both Platner and Mills in a dead heat with incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins, indicating this could be a brutal, protracted and expensive campaign.* On the other end of the spectrum, Axios reported this week that former Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, who once led the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and then served as President Biden's ambassador to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, has accepted a role as CEO and president of the Coalition for Prediction Markets. The coalition is essentially a trade association for betting websites; members include Kalshi, Crypto.com Robinhood and Coinbase, among others. The coalition will leverage Maloney's influence with Democrats, along with former Republican Congressman Patrick McHenry's influence across the aisle, to lobby for favorable regulation for their industry.* Turning to foreign affairs, prosecutors in South Korea have announced that they are seeking the death penalty for former President Yoon Suk-Yeol on “charges of masterminding an insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024,” per Reuters. In a stunning courtroom revelation, a prosecutor said during closing arguments that “investigators confirmed the existence of a scheme allegedly directed by Yoon and his former defence minister, Kim Yong-hyun, dating back to October 2023 designed to keep Yoon in power.” The prosecutor added that “The defendant has not sincerely regretted the crime... or apologised properly to the people.” As this piece notes, South Korea has not carried out a death sentence in nearly three decades. Even still, it is remarkable to see how this case has unfolded compared to the reaction of the American judicial system to Donald Trump's attempted self-coup on January 6th, 2021.* Finally, turning to Latin America, many expected the fall of Nicolás Maduro to mean a redoubled energy crisis for the long-embargoed island nation of Cuba. Yet, the Financial Times reports that in fact, “Mexico overtook Venezuela to become Cuba's top oil supplier in 2025…helping the island weather a sharp drop in Venezuelan crude shipments.” CBS adds that “Despite President Trump's social media pronouncement…that ‘there will be no more oil or money going to Cuba — zero,' the current U.S. policy is to allow Mexico to continue to provide oil to the island, according to Energy Secretary Chris Wright.” For the time being, the administration seems open to maintaining this status quo – including maintaining cordial relations with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum – though this appears more strained than ever. Sheinbaum harshly criticized the kidnapping of Maduro, stating “unilateral action and invasion cannot be the basis for international relations in the 21st century,” while Republican Congressman Carlos Gimenez has threatened that there could be “serious consequences for trade between our countries” if Sheinbaum “continues to undermine US policy by sending oil to the murderous dictatorship in Cuba.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Michael Popok reports on 3 new articles of impeachment being drawn up against DHS Secretary Kristie Noem, including for a little reported corruption allegation that she directed a more than $200 million ad contract (starring her of course) to her close friends and the husband of her press secretary. Popok explains how the Democrats an get to 218 votes to impeach her before the midterms, and why it matters politically for the Democrats, as their new Contract with America emphasizes rooting out Trump led corruption.

OA1226 - We begin with a review of the unprecedented lawsuit that Minnesota has filed against ICE with the extreme leftist radical demand that they obey the law and U.S. Constitution. How much power do states have to limit federal operations, and what are the chances a court order might put some guardrails on the largest enforcement operation in ICE history? We then consider the legal and political merits of articles of impeachment filed against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Finally: we honor the passing of civil rights hero Claudette Colvin, whose bravery as a 15-year-old on a Montgomery, Alabama bus nine months before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat put the final nail into the “separate but equal” justification for racial segregation established by the Supreme Court in Plessy v.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 46: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Well, that's it in sum, isn't it? He's "El Presidente" now, isn't he? Military Dictator. Succeeding Maduro. Until he finds somebody else to “run” it. Not the elected Vice President. Not the actual winner of the last election. Not the U-N. Maybe somebody he, in his dysfunctional haze, somebody he can trust. Maybe an oil executive. Or Elon Musk. Or Catturd. The invasion was illegal there, and illegal here. The kidnapping was illegal. Declaring we would run it is illegal. Naming a proxy dictator is illegal. As was his threat yesterday to the acting president that quote “if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro” and calling for her belief that her country shouldn’t be invaded by another country breaking its own laws is quote “defiant rejection.” THAT’S illegal. It’s all illegal. That’s a lot of illegal – even for Trump. And I say this, hating Maduro completely. So he needs to be impeached, if not now then a year from now. Rubio can be impeached now for deceiving Congress about its approval. And both of them turned over to the World Court. And the ramifications are almost uncountable, including emboldening them to consider this in Cuba, Greenland, Iran. The poll numbers are terrible, and the risk to Americans of terrorism and violence are just as terrible. And maybe worst of all the evidence of linkage between Putin's strange silence about his ally Maduro, and Trump's dithering about Ukraine, is terrible too. But at least it produced a pretty good Olivia Nuzzi joke. ALSO: WHY DID THEY CHANGE THE TRUMP HEALTH COVER-UP STORY AGAIN? Five significant changes, about his MRI/CT, his cardiovascular health, and now the total of Cognitive tests he's gotten in just the last nine months. Three? Not two? He's really needed three tests in nine months? To repeat the insightful question from his niece Mary Trump: Why do they have to keep giving him cognitive tests? B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: There's begging the new boss to let you keep your current job, then there's what CBS Legal Analyst Jan Crawford is doing for Bari Weiss to try to keep hers. Chuck Schumer comes out firing on Venezuela: with one-millionth of one barrel blazing. And just when you think Cheryl Hines can't get any dumber, Tucker Carlson tries to talk to her about vaccines. C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Will Ferrell did a great comedy bit at the L.A. Kings hockey game on New Year's Day and he did it for the pure joy of it. Which reminded me of the difference between amateurs and pros, and of the days when "Anchorman" was new and Will and I ad libbed a pretty good comedy bit that he said he really loved doing.
