David Plotz talks with journalist Gabriel Sherman about his new book Bonfire of the Murdochs: How the Epic Fight to Control the Last Great Media Dynasty Broke a Family—and the World. Sherman, who also wrote the bestselling biography of Fox News chief Roger Ailes, spent 15 years reporting on the Murdoch empire. In this book he turns his lens on the family itself — the rivalries, the wounds, and the secret Nevada courtroom battle that finally forced Rupert's hand.Sherman sketches each of the three main Murdoch children: the shrewd and overlooked Elisabeth, the conservative golden child Lachlan, and the restless, brittle James. He explains how Rupert pitted each of his children against each other to consolidate his own power. He and Plotz explore the parallels between the Murdoch and Trump dynasties, debate whether a James-led Fox News could ever have been tethered to reality, and ask what happens to the empire once Rupert is gone. Sherman's prediction: Lachlan sells.Tweet us your questions @SlateGabfest or email us at gabfest@slate.com.

This week, a federal judge temporarily blocked HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule and his appointments of vaccine skeptics to a key CDC advisory committee. Asha and Renato explain why agencies must follow administrative legal procedures and how RFK Jr.'s disregard for science and scientific expertise rankled the judge. Plus, they review the latest ruling from Judge James E. Boasberg, who rebuked the U.S. Attorney's office in D.C., led by former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, in its investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Renato and Asha examine how Pirro failed to meet the super low threshold of obtaining a subpoena and why the judge found the probe improperly motivated. They discuss how Boasberg's and Powell's pushback in the Trump era shows the legal system is still at work. Listen up!

A MAGA civil war erupts over Trump's war with Iran, JD Vance tries to distance himself, and Megyn Kelly accuses her former Fox News colleague of having a micropenis. Seriously!On today's show, Tommy and Ben cover the many ways Trump's war with Iran is going off the rails. The death toll and economic costs keep increasing, America's closest allies are refusing pleas to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and a resignation letter from a former top Trump administration official suggests that Trump lied when he claimed Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States. Then they dig into the conservative media battle over Iran, US support for Israel, and the future of MAGA; a New York Post report claiming the new Supreme Leader of Iran is gay, Trump's imperialist fantasy about “taking Cuba” and the pathetic exit of Trump's least diplomatic former diplomat, Ric Grenell. Finally, Ben speaks to Middle East analyst and author Kim Ghattas about Israel's war against Lebanon and the displacement of over 1 million people in the country.Preorder Ben's book All We Say: The Battle for American Identity: A History in 15 Speeches and subscribe to his Substack here.

Mea Culpa welcomes back our old friend David Pakman. Pakman is an exceptionally popular progressive talk show host and political commentator. He is the host of the YouTube/Twitch talk radio program The David Pakman Show. Pakman has appeared on Fox News, CNN, The Nancy Grace program, Dr. Drew on Call, and the Joe Rogan Experience. He's also been featured in Mother Jones, the Boston Herald, The New York Times, and Wired magazine. Let's go now to our conversation with David Pakman. Michael and David chat about the Mar-a-largo, the DOJ, and the upcoming midterms.

Trump and Kushner chose a war they don't understand, thinking they can use 20th-century "shock and awe" to topple a deeply entrenched terrorist state. The Iranian people are caught between two maniacal regimes and deserve our solidarity: an estimated 30,000 Iranians were just killed by their own government, and now they're being bombed by a Fox News host.  Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman joins Gaslit Nation to discuss the surreal hallucinating AI simulation we've found ourselves in. Meanwhile, Trump and Vance need to thank Zelensky and Ukraine for their innovative drone-fighting technology–some of the best in the world. Has Vance even said thank you yet?  We also prepare Americans for the reality that the "moats" of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans no longer protect us. As drone technology becomes cheaper and more accessible, the same over-the-counter drones terrorizing Kherson, Ukraine are coming for American streets–thanks to Trump galvanizing terrorists, and opportunistic mafia states like Russia that empower groups like ISIS.  Like Russia, Trump thinks he can conquer a nation in three days.  Join us on April 13th at Powerhouse Books in Dumbo, Brooklyn for the launch of Andrea's graphic novel, Mrs. Orwell. Olga Lautman will be there as we discuss how to survive the "Great Disillusionment" and protect our democracy from the opportunists selling us out for profit.

It's Wednesday, March 18th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Timothy Reed Swedish Christian family guilty of “religious extremism” for going to church The European Court of Human Rights refused to hear an appeal of a Swedish Christian family in a case involving parental rights and religious freedom. Back in 2022, officials in Sweden separated Daniel and Bianca Samson from their two eldest daughters. The state found no evidence of abuse but accused the family of “religious extremism” for simply attending church three times a week. Morales Sancho, Legal Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom International, stated, “The element of religious discrimination is also unmistakable in this case. The state labeled the family as religious extremists solely because of their active practice of their Christian faith.” Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Swedish population embraces sexual perversion Sadly, people in Sweden are the most likely to view homosexuality as morally acceptable in a recent Pew Research survey. The study surveyed 30,000 people across 25 countries. People in European countries were also among the most likely to be morally accepting of homosexuality, abortion, and divorce.   Christianity's decline in England People in Britain are worried about the decline of Christianity in the nation. A study by Whitestone Insight found that 52% of Brits believe that drifting from their Christian roots is bad for future generations. Fifty-eight percent also said that Christianity plays a beneficial role in public life.  This comes as Christian identification has declined. Only 44% of adults in Britain identified as Christian last year, down from 54% in 2018. Carrie Prejean, who objected to Zionism, was fired by Trump's religious liberty commissionIn the United States, a member of the U.S. President's Religious Liberty Commission, Carrie Prejean Boller, was removed from her position after she registered opposition to Zionism last month.  A recent convert to Catholicism, Boller challenged the tenets of Zionism, claiming they were incompatible with her faith. She also sent a letter to President Donald Trump after her removal, explaining her misgivings. She appeared on the podcast of LifeSiteNews.com editor John-Henry Western. BOLLER: “I know there's three Catholics that are thinking about running for president in 2028 so I don't think now is the time to really dismiss Catholics, fire Catholics, remove Catholics, simply because I'm standing up for my Catholic faith. “So, I'm hopeful that he's going to make the right decision. Otherwise, this religious liberty commission should be completely shut down. If I don't have my religious freedom on a Religious Freedom Commission, it's not a religious freedom commission.” Christian workplaces thrive Employees in Christian-led workplaces report high levels of engagement in their work according to a new report.  The State of the Christian Workplace 2026 report released new data on 40,000 employees in over 400 Christian organizations in the U.S. Sixty-one percent of employees in Christian-led workplaces reported being engaged in their work. These engagement levels are nearly twice that of the U.S. workforce overall.  Jay Bransford, President & CEO of Best Christian Workplaces, noted, “Engaged employees bring energy, enthusiasm, commitment, and passion that directly fuel Kingdom impact.” Colossians 3:23-24 says, “Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” U.S. federal workforce shrunk by 10.3% Pew Research reports that the U.S. federal workforce shrank by 10.3 percent in 2025.  Nearly 350,000 people quit, retired, were laid off, or otherwise left the federal government last year. That's an 80 percent increase compared to 2024. Agencies with the most job cuts included the U.S. Agency for International Development, the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities, and the Education Department. 18-year-old rescues brother from axe-wielding man And finally, an 18-year-old is thanking God after protecting his brother from an ax-wielding man in Florida over the weekend.  Fox News reports Leodan Pino and his 16-year-old brother were closing up a car wash in Ocala. That's when the suspect approached while yelling and threatening.  Pino told the man he had to leave. The man refused and pulled out an ax.  Thankfully, Pino is a military recruit and trained in mixed martial arts. He proceeded to execute a take down and subdued the suspect until police arrived.  Listen to his comments afterward.  PINO: “I'm very thankful that God gave me the opportunity and gave me the strength to be able to control that situation. Very thankful that I was the one closing with my brother and no one else was. Because I'm not too sure if any of my co-workers would have done the same thing as I would have.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, March 18th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

【聊了什么】 在过去的几十年里，右翼构建了和主流媒体完全不同的一套生态，他们系统性地建设自己的智库、媒体、草根组织和学术网络。今天我们看到的福克斯新闻、布莱巴特、Daily Wire、以及大大小小的右翼网红，都是这几十年深耕积累的结果。研究美国政治和媒体的学者杨云康在新书《Weapons of Mass Deception》中把这套系统拆开来看：这些机构表面上是媒体，实质上是政治组织——有目的、有金主、有动员机制。 这期节目我们和杨老师深入探讨了右翼媒体生态是如何运转的：谁在背后出钱、信息战具体打的是哪几张牌、阴谋论又是如何从社交媒体一路"交易"进主流话语的。我们也聊到了一个新的变化——在creator economy时代，网红正在取代传统媒体成为信息战的主战场。 购买杨云康的新书《Weapons of Mass Deception》：https://www.amazon.com/Weapons-Mass-Deception-Information-Communication/dp/0197820301。主播和嘉宾的言论不代表其所在机构或其雇主的观点。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 05:24 右翼媒体不仅是新闻机构，更是政治组织 16:30 商业模式：为什么许多右翼媒体即使亏损仍能长期存在？ 21:39 意识形态：金主个人观点如何推动比共和党更极端的议程 26:02 右翼信息战：重复谎言、曲解事实与缺乏背景资料的操纵 35:35 “回音室”效应：右翼媒体内部的协调、张力与信息放大 57:15 解决方案：改变双重股权结构以削弱家族金主的控制权 68:04 民主党为何不“抄作业” 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： 小华：媒体人 杨云康：研究美国政治和媒体的学者 【 What We Talked About】 Over the past several decades, the American right has built a media ecosystem entirely separate from the mainstream — systematically investing in think tanks, outlets, grassroots organizations, and academic networks. Fox News, Breitbart, Daily Wire, and the sprawling universe of right-wing influencers are not accidents. They are the product of decades of deliberate infrastructure-building. In his new book Weapons of Mass Deception, scholar Yunkang Yang takes this ecosystem apart piece by piece: these outlets may call themselves media, but they function as political organizations — with clear agendas, deep-pocketed backers, and sophisticated mobilization strategies. In this episode, we sit down with Yunkang to explore how this machine actually works: who's funding it, what specific tactics drive its information warfare, and how fringe conspiracy theories get "traded up the chain" into mainstream discourse. We also discuss a newer shift — in the creator economy era, influencers are increasingly displacing traditional media as the frontline of information warfare, with a much shorter and murkier path from content to policy.

Why did boomers “go crazy” — and was the internet actually to blame? Ryan is joined by Sam Seder to trace the long history of boomer radicalization, from the Fairness Doctrine and Rush Limbaugh to Fox News, 9/11, Alex Jones, and the algorithmic media ecosystem that followed. Together they argue that the internet didn't create boomer brain rot so much as supercharge a worldview that had already been built by decades of grievance-driven mass media. Our guest Sam Seder hosts The Majority Report, whose past episodes can be found here, on YouTube, and all major podcast platforms (or check it out live Monday to Friday from 12-2:30pm).

Diamandis how AI and robots will likely lead to a universal income in the future; "Raging Moderates'" Jessica Tarlov reading James Talarico's insane tweets about white privilege and white people spreading the virus of racism to his face; Zohran Mamdani creating the first ever Department of LGBTQIA+ Affairs as NYC's budget crisis worsens; and much more.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with former Congressman and Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz during the America 250 celebration in Springfield, Illinois. Chaffetz shares his journey into public service, from personal loss to becoming Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and reflects on the importance of accountability, limited government, and staying engaged in a free society. He offers a behind-the-scenes look at Congress, the challenges of holding government agencies accountable, and why showing up still matters. The conversation also dives into one of the biggest issues shaping our future: artificial intelligence. Chaffetz discusses both the promise and the risks of AI—from economic transformation to serious concerns around privacy, jobs, and government readiness. He explains why innovation must be balanced with strong principles and thoughtful guardrails. They also tackle cancel culture, free speech, and the importance of not letting fear silence your voice. Chaffetz encourages everyday Americans to take that “one small step” to get involved—whether in their community, local government, or national conversations. This episode is a powerful reminder that freedom isn't passive—it requires participation, courage, and a willingness to engage.

Bill discusses the third week of a U.S. and Israel-led war against Iran and Americans' cratering support for Israel, with J Street founder Jeremy Ben-Ami and senior VP Ilan Goldenberg. Ben-Ami calls it Netanyahu's long-sought war, notes the JCPOA(“The Iran Nuclear Deal” under Obama) had effectively constrained Iran's program, and says the current effort lacks clear goals. They highlight polling showing a sharp decline in U.S. support for Israel—especially among 18–34-year-olds—and criticize AIPAC's tactics and funding, urging Democrats to end “blank check” support, emphasize Palestinian rights, and pursue a balanced, pro-diplomacy approach.They also explored why the war began, where it may lead, and its political fallout. Goldenberg argues there was no imminent threat, diplomacy and other alternatives existed, and the U.S. lacked technical negotiators, leaving outcomes likely to resemble a long containment quagmire with higher oil prices and persistent regional instability. Today Bill highlights the work of J Street and suggests you check out their work at JStreet.org.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's been a few days since we last looked at the Persian Gulf crisis, and events are racing forward at such a pace that the only sensible approach is to take a step back and examine the deeper patterns. Behind the headlines about Trump's impulsive decision-making lies a far more consequential story: the moment when a medium-sized power with cheap drones and missiles can hold the world's energy supplies hostage, and the world's sole superpower finds itself with no good options.I begin with the decision-making in Washington—or rather, the absence of it. Trump, advised by Netanyahu and a handful of Fox News personalities, appears to have launched this war on a whim, assuming he could create "media noise" with no thought to an exit strategy. Military planners who understand the region have been overruled. The system of American governance has decayed to the point where a single egotistical hustler can launch the country into a no-win scenario.Why no-win? Because Iran has been preparing for this moment for years. Its arsenal of drones, rockets, missiles, mines, and attack boats makes the safe navigation of the Straits of Hormuz virtually impossible. The idea of an international naval flotilla—Trump's proposed solution—is laughable. You would have to maintain it forever, and Iran would interpret any passage not agreeable to them as a hostile act.I draw a historical parallel: the Dardanelles campaign of 1915. The reason the Allies landed at Gallipoli was because the first attempt to sail through the straits ended in disaster, with British and French ships sunk by shore-based fortifications. The Straits of Hormuz will become exactly that kind of killing zone. It doesn't matter how big your navy is. How many capital ships is America willing to sacrifice for a war Trump started on a whim? How many American lives before the outcry sweeps him from office?The asymmetry of war is changing. Cheap, mass-produced drones—with motorcycle engines and mobile phones for guidance—can overwhelm anti-missile systems like Patriot and THAAD. Aircraft carriers, the symbol of American power for eighty years, may no longer be the tools for enforcing world order that they once were. China has been signalling this for years with its spectacular drone displays over Beijing: "Imagine what we can do if we attach something to them."Then there are the geopolitical consequences. Europe will rapidly rapproche with Russia to access cheap hydrocarbons. The Ukraine war will likely be settled in Russia's favour. The push for renewables will gain a new argument: national security, liberation from Trump's whims. Rachel Reeves, the British Chancellor, has already signalled where the wind is blowing, choosing Ursula von der Leyen over Trump when asked.The special relationship is dying. Suez was a humiliation; this is worse. The British political class is finally waking up to the reality that clinging to America's coat-tails no longer offers protection—only entanglement in unwinnable wars.And then there's Israel. Nuclear-armed, increasingly isolated, and with an American public whose support has reached an all-time low. If America withdraws from the Gulf, what sense does it make to support Israel as Iran's key enemy? But Israel has always reserved the right to act unilaterally. The situation between Iran and Israel is the one that will continue, long after the current crisis resolves—if it resolves.I end with two possible futures: a quick resolution where Trump claims an illusory victory and moves on, or a protracted conflict that drags the world into an endless energy crisis. Either way, the lesson of North Korea has been learned: the only protection against American aggression is a nuclear weapon. Iran will never sign another enrichment treaty.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews. We connect the past to the present.

Something is moving through the Ohio woods, and it's not alone. Eight reported Bigfoot sightings in five days have turned a quiet stretch of northeast Ohio into ground zero for the cryptid world, and the story has gone viral. Fox News, Newsweek, NewsNation, and the New York Times, among other major outlets, have all picked up the story. Blurry Creatures and The Bigfoot Society are crossing over for a deep dive into one of the most concentrated and bizarre clusters of Bigfoot activity in recent memory, the Ohio Flap. Multiple witnesses. Unfamiliar sounds. Evidence that doesn't fit the typical profile. We're breaking it all down together — the sightings, the patterns, the theories, and the question nobody wants to answer out loud. What is happening in Ohio?   Learn more about your ad choices.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Go Thank an Oil Man Clay and Buck open by discussing breaking developments in Iran, including the condition of Mojtaba Khamenei—nicknamed “Little Mo”—who is reportedly in a coma and severely injured following U.S. airstrikes. The hosts analyze how the Iranian leadership is under unprecedented pressure as air campaigns continue to dismantle military assets and target key regime figures. They also address escalating attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, the resulting volatility in global oil prices, and how President Trump is responding with aggressive measures, including tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and coordinating releases of hundreds of millions of barrels internationally to stabilize markets. The conversation highlights the dramatic price swings of crude oil and examines how Iran is trying to weaponize oil shipping routes to trigger economic turmoil. The hosts then explore how American media outlets are selectively covering the surge in gas prices. Clay criticizes networks like CNN and MSNBC for ignoring declining fuel costs for more than a year but immediately amplifying short‑term price increases during the conflict. This flows into a broader media discussion about the differences between advertising‑driven outlets and subscription‑driven news models, with Clay noting that subscriber‑funded outlets—such as the New York Times—now cater to ideological expectations instead of broad audiences. Buck argues that Fox News at least acknowledges its editorial perspective, whereas CNN still pretends to be nonpartisan despite consistent ideological framing. Uncle Bill: "We'll Do It Live!" Clay and Buck welcome media icon Bill O’Reilly, who joins them to discuss his new long‑form interview program We’ll Do It Live! O’Reilly recounts the origins of the viral “We’ll do it live!” clip from his Inside Edition days and how it resurfaced years later as internet culture took off. After the lighthearted banter, the conversation shifts dramatically toward the unfolding Iran conflict. O’Reilly details the stakes of President Trump’s military campaign, emphasizing that U.S. strikes—coordinated with Israeli intelligence—have dismantled much of Iran’s offensive capability. He explains that the killing of top Iranian leadership and the crippling of Iran’s military infrastructure mark one of the most consequential U.S. operations in decades. But O’Reilly warns that global economic consequences, especially oil price volatility, remain the biggest wildcard, and that Trump’s political future hinges significantly on the success or failure of the campaign. The hosts ask O’Reilly what “victory” in Iran should look like, prompting him to outline a diplomatic off‑ramp: forcing Iran to abandon nuclear ambitions, curtail ballistic missile development, weaken the Revolutionary Guard, and end support for terrorism. He acknowledges that Iran often violates agreements but argues that overwhelming military pressure could eventually push the regime toward negotiation. O’Reilly also discusses the Save America Act and the Senate’s political obstacles, noting that although the bill won’t reach the 60 votes needed to advance, Democrats risk political backlash because voter‑ID requirements enjoy overwhelming national support. MO Sen. Eric Schmitt Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri joined the program to discuss the Save America Act and the Senate’s procedural fight over election integrity, voter ID requirements, mail in balloting limits, and protections for women’s sports. Schmitt explains how a talking filibuster could force Democrats to publicly defend their opposition and outlines the legislative mechanics needed to bring the bill to the Senate floor. He then addresses the Democrats’ refusal to fund the Department of Homeland Security amid a surge in terror threats, arguing that their resistance to immigration enforcement and ICE operations has resulted in long TSA wait times, staffing shortages, and national security vulnerabilities just as Americans enter peak spring travel season. TX Sen. John Cornyn Senator John Cornyn of Texas discusses his May runoff against Ken Paxton and the potential impact of a Donald Trump endorsement in the race. Cornyn defends his record as a Trump aligned conservative, noting that he has voted with Trump more than 99 percent of the time and has played major roles in passing tax cuts, confirming Supreme Court justices, and securing federal reimbursement for Texas border security operations. He explains his evolving stance on the filibuster, arguing that the Save America Act is critical enough to justify a talking filibuster exception due to Democrats’ pattern of blocking legislation tied to national security and voter integrity. Cornyn also contrasts his electability with Paxton’s, asserting that he is the stronger candidate to defeat the Democrats’ far left challenger and to protect down ballot Republican seats in Texas.
