On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, House Democrats have filed articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. These are baseless lies against him and it's all political theater designed to create controversy and stir up the Democratic base for the November midterms. It doesn't help when we have figures like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and others who are damaging the Republican Party and conservative movement by trashing it, wanting it and Trump to fail, which could help hand Democrats the House or Senate. Later, Rep Elise Stefanik calls in to discuss her new book - Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America's Elite Universities.  Also, the current sacrifices for the Iran war are minimal compared to past battles. This is a fight to prevent primitive terrorists from launching nuclear missiles at the country and to protect Western young people from slaughter, shooting, rape, and brutality. Despite this, gasoline prices are now lower than under Biden, while inflation has dropped significantly. Presidents can only do so much and often cause more damage than good, yet President Trump has taken many actions to help average Americans. Finally, Julie Kelly calls in and explains that Judge James Boasberg suffered another setback as the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a second writ of mandamus, definitively ending his 13-month contempt investigation against the Trump administration. Learn more about your ad choices.

They analyze the escalating rhetoric, the role of figures like J. D. Vance as he distances himself from the Pope while promoting the administration's agenda, and what it signals about the state of Trump's inner circle.

But so far, many of Trump's most aggressive moves have been stopped by the Supreme Court.  My guest this week is Sarah Isgur, a conservative court watcher, who argues that the Supreme Court isn't just a firewall against Donald Trump, but the real power center in American politics today. 0:00 - Intro 01:28 - Remaking the presidency: The hundred-year experiment 04:26 - Trump's legal retribution campaign 09:15 - The Supreme Court's strategy in the face of Trump 18:15 - “Looming" cases: Tariffs and birthright citizenship 28:23 - Supreme Court internal dynamics 43:32 - The future bench (A full transcript of this episode is available on the Times website.)

The U.S. blockade at the Strait of Hormuz has brought traffic in the waterway to even more of a standstill. The Washington Post’s Júlia Ledur explains how geography aides Iran’s efforts to control the vital passageway. Trump’s attacks on Pope Leo have drawn condemnation from global leaders and members of the president’s base. Joshua McElwee of Reuters joins to discuss why this could be a seminal moment for the U.S. Catholic Church. A court ruled that concert giant Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, operates as a monopoly. Rolling Stone’s John Blistein breaks down the case and what it could mean for concertgoers. Plus, Trump renewed threats to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell, why the FBI arrested the organizer of a Santa Claus–themed charity event, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will induct its first ever African artist. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.

Democrats fawn over terror-supporter Hasan Piker; Tucker Carlson goes full burqa off, saying that an attack on Iran is an attack on Jesus; and Erika Kirk is forced to cancel a live event thanks to security concerns.

Over a month into a war with Iran that has no clear end, President Trump has enforced a blockade, which went into effect on Monday at the Strait of Hormuz. The New York Times reporters David E. Sanger, Rebecca F. Elliott and Eric Schmitt discuss the strategy behind the blockade, the dangers that it poses and whether or not it's actually working. Guest:  David E. Sanger, a White House and national security correspondent for The New York Times. Rebecca F. Elliott covers energy for The New York Times. Eric Schmitt, a national security correspondent for The New York Times. Background reading:  Mr. Trump is setting up a test of which side can endure more economic pain with his blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. His oil blockade could provoke retaliation that inflicts more damage on energy assets and the global economy. Photo: Reuters For more information on today's episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

Tommy and Ben walk through a week of epic failures for the Trump administration, from peace talks with Iran to Viktor Orbán's historic loss in Hungary.They break down everything that was wrong with the US-Iran peace talks, like both sides coming in with maximalist positions, Vice President JD Vance walking out in a huff, and the lack of American expertise at the table. Then they unpack what we know about Trump's risky plan to also blockade the Strait of Hormuz, the growing economic fallout from the war, the heated AI-powered, LEGO-themed propaganda war happening on social media, the attack on free speech in many Gulf countries, including the arrest of American journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, and the latest on Israel's bombing, invasion, and occupation of Lebanon. Then they cover some rare good news in Viktor Orbán's stunning defeat after 16 years in power, and what we can learn from Hungarian activists about fighting corrupt autocrats, and discuss what other world leaders can learn from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's continued electoral success from punching back at Trump. At the end of the show, Ben speaks to Anand Gopal about his new book about Syria, Days of Love and Rage: A Story of Ordinary People Forging a Revolution.For Friends of the Pod, the guys answer questions about diplomatic approaches to Cuba, and just how frank diplomatic conversations get behind closed doors.Preorder Ben's book All We Say: The Battle for American Identity: A History in 15 Speeches  and subscribe to his Substack here.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, by order of President Trump, the Strait of Hormuz has been blockaded. Of course, thanks to Democrats, the U.S. Navy is trying to do more with less. And the Woke Reich, neo-fascists, and Islamists are teaming up to work against Trump. But this is bigger than Iran. China claims the South China Sea and has artificial islands there. If Iran gets away with closing the Strait and charging fees for passage, would China do the same in the South China Sea? But the woke right and Islamists don't care. They hate Trump and they hate Benjamin Netanyahu, the two men who are clear about the goal of the Iran war: no nukes. Period. Also, Jihadi Islamists are now embedded in the U.S., including a mayor in Paterson, NJ, an imam in Dearborn, Michigan, and figures like podcaster Hasan Piker. While the overall Muslim population in America is not yet massive, it is growing rapidly, and communities are concentrating in specific towns and cities. These groups form segregated communities where Sharia law exerts control, either openly or discreetly. Later, Mediaite's founding editor Colby Hall, has reportedly been suspended for alleged and “completely unacceptable errors.” It appears Mediaite has lost confidence in him. Afterward, Josh Hammer calls in and argues that the fake conservatives in the podcast space are motivated purely by self-interest and metrics, not by altruism or concern for the country, and their incentives harm the conservative movement and the United States. We should ignore these self-serving voices and seek out those in it for the right reasons - good people still exist in broadcasting and podcasting, though they are fewer than before.

The Irish are protesting in the streets over the price of fuel, Qatar's GDP is plummeting, and heating bills are skyrocketing in France. And today, every world leader and every CEO of every major corporation is having to address the consequences of this war of choice on Iran—and Trump couldn't care less. Instead, he's working on a new distraction to get the media to talk about something besides his and Bibi's catastrophic error. But European leaders are finally starting to hit back against Trump, and Xi is trolling him on a genius level. Plus, Vance can't stop making a fool of himself, a debate over the merits of Europe v. the United States, and a healthy serving of fresh British insults to try on for size.

Nash offers his predictions on how the current tensions could lead to a significant deal between Iran and the U.S., influenced by China's role in the region.Additionally, John Solomon discusses the latest developments in the intelligence community, including the investigation led by new watchdog Christopher Fox into past whistleblower complaints and the implications for accountability in government. We also touch on significant consumer protection victories and the potential political ramifications of recent judicial decisions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a single weekend, JD Vance managed to flunk out of peace talks with Iran and hitch the Trump wagon to Victor Orban's star just in time for it to implode. Like Kamala Harris before him, the vice president is getting all the hard, unpopular assignments – and also like Harris, it could cost him his political future.Guest: Asawin Suebsaeng, senior political correspondent with Zeteo, co-author of “Sinking in the Swamp: How Trump's Minions and Misfits Poisoned Washington.”Want more What Next?

Iran warns that it will block trade through the Red Sea as well as the Gulf and the Sea of Oman, if the United States continues its own blockade of Iranian ports and shipping. The head of the Iranian military command centre says the US blockade is a prelude to a violation of the ceasefire.

Americans must fight a war on two fronts: against MAGA fascism and Democratic Party complacency. Wajahat Ali of the Left Hook on Substack and author of Go Back to Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become American joins Gaslit Nation to discuss how to actually build back better this time.  Donald Trump is America's karma of white supremacy, greed, and misogyny. But while the MAGA virus burns through our institutions, another danger is the "Big Club" in Washington, D.C. where Republicans and Democrats share the same donors, the same golf clubs, and the same refusal to tax the rich.  The DNC thinks they can waltz into power by not being Trump, but voters want a fighter and they want accountability. We are watching a righteous rage build across the globe, from the resistance in Ukraine and Hungary to vigilante violence here at home. When an Amazon worker drops dead and colleagues are told to work around the body, the status quo makes revolution by any means inevitable.  Ukrainians are fighting a war on two fronts: homegrown corruption and Kremlin fascism. We must see ourselves in the same fight. If the Democrats choose the James Carville "possum strategy" and refuse to face reality, they are simply clearing the deck for a more competent autocrat in 2032.  EVENTS AT GASLIT NATION: Gaslit Nation Salons take place Mondays 4pm ET over Zoom and are recorded and shared on Patreon.com/Gaslit for our community New!

It's been another week of deranged comments and posts from the President. This time he has targeted Pope Leo by accusing him of being weak on crime and catering to the radical left. Mr. Trump followed up by posting an A.I. image of himself as Jesus. The outrage was swift, including from his own MAGA supporters, but are they actually to blame for his messianic self-image? On Palm Sunday, the Pope said Jesus does not hear the prayers of those who wage war. Most assume he was referring to the Secretary of Defense's wrathful prayer for U.S. troops in Iran. Defenders of Pete Hegseth's prayer say he was just quoting the Bible, so what's the problem? Bri Stensrud, the director of Women of Welcome, explains why conservative evangelical women are rising up to support the dignity of immigrants and refugees even as many of their churches remain silent. Also this week—caffeinated cocaine sharks are roaming the Caribbean.   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview with Bri Stensrud: https://www.patreon.com/posts/155624095/   Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/155629230/   0:00 - Show Starts   2:08 - Theme Song   2:30 - Sponsor - BetterHelp - This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
