Chuck Todd begins with a rant about his beloved Washington Nationals before pivoting to Trump strong-arming congressman Zach Nunn into running for reelection and Texas into holding a mid decade restricting process to try and maintain control of the house. He weighs in on California governor Gavin Newsom's threat to gerrymander his state in response to Texas and why that plan may not work. He also surveys the state of several 2026 races. Then, Chuck is joined by renowned CBS News Capitol Hill correspondent Scott MacFarlane who delivers an unflinching analysis of American politics in the post-January 6th era and recounts his harrowing experience of being in attendance during the assassination attempt of Donald Trump. MacFarlane, drawing from his extensive experience covering the insurrection trials and congressional proceedings, explores how the events of January 6th continue to reshape the political landscape, from Trump's recent blanket pardons to the ongoing divisions within the Republican Party. He provides insider perspectives on the Secret Service's challenges during campaign season, the diverse backgrounds of January 6th defendants, and the broader implications of political violence in American democracy.The conversation spans critical topics including the decline of local journalism, the judiciary's politicization, and the increasingly siloed information ecosystem that defines modern American politics. MacFarlane offers candid insights into the DOJ's handling of January 6th prosecutions under Merrick Garland, the death threats faced by trial witnesses, and how Trump's survival of the Butler assassination attempt reinforced his supporters' belief in divine intervention. The discussion also touches on contemporary challenges facing journalists, from the pressure to develop personal brands to declining morale in newsrooms, while examining ongoing political realignments and the future of democratic institutions in America.Finally, Chuck answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment about Trump trying to rescind some of Biden's late-term pardons, Gavin Newsom's political evolution and why Dan Osborne is running for senate rather than governor in Nebraska.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction00:45 James Wood didn't have competent pitching in HR derby02:00 Lack of summer sports programming04:45 Trump has unprecedented control over the Republican party07:30 Zach Nunn flirting with run with Iowa governor or switching seats09:30 Trump forced Nunn into seeking reelection 10:30 Trump strong arming Texas into mid decade redistricting11:45 Additional gerrymandering is risky for Texas Republicans13:30 Gavin Newsom threatens to gerrymander CA in response to Texas15:15 Newsom's rhetoric may not match the political reality16:30 Republicans are trying to rig their house majority17:30 Donald Trump is dictating all of these actions18:15 Trump is trying to destroy Thomas Massie for no vote on BBB19:15 Republicans risk candidates being tied to an unpopular president21:15 Democrats are grappling with whether to fight fire with fire23:15 Gerrymandering fights are popping up around the country24:30 The White House is obsessed with holding the house26:00 Trumpworld will stoke fear of impeachment to juice turnout27:00 NRSC has gone all-in on stopping Ken Paxton in Texas28:15 John Cornyn could walk away and back Wesley Hunt30:30 Susan Collins is raising money as if she's seeking reelection31:30 Jonathan Bush may run for governor in Maine32:45 Mary Peltola may run for governor or senate in Alaska35:15 The PGA Tour announcing a new tournament at Trump Doral38:00 Scott MacFarlane joins the Chuck ToddCast! 38:30 Scott's origin story 40:30 Local news has been decimated in recent years 42:30 People have the closest connection with local news outlets 44:30 Local news should be targeting millennial parents 46:30 Why was the response to the Butler assassination attempt so muted? 48:30 Secret service is stretched thin during campaign season 49:30 Was the secret service underresourced? 51:00 Scott felt the vibe was "off" at the event 53:00 If Trump hadn't survived, the crowd would have attacked media 54:15 Trump surviving created a divine intervention belief in his supporters 57:00 Many J6ers admitted "they don't know what got into them" 58:30 The J6ers are an incredibly diverse group of people 59:45 Only two J6ers were acquitted 1:01:00 The electorate sees almost everything through a red/blue lens 1:02:30 The senate broke the judiciary 1:03:30 There's only ONE apologetic January 6th defendant 1:05:00 Republicans now in congress wouldn't condemn J6 1:07:15 The blanket pardon was Trump condoning political violence 1:08:45 Have all the DOJ prosecutors who worked on J6 cases been fired? 1:10:00 People who testified at J6 trials have received death threats 1:12:30 Merrick Garland slow rolled DOJ's J6 prosecutions 1:14:30 It's surprising how quickly Republicans came back to Trump after J6 1:15:30 If the senate voted to convict, we'd have a president Ron DeSantis 1:18:00 Mitch McConnell's surrender handed the keys over to the MAGA wing 1:19:30 The information ecosystem is incredibly siloed 1:21:15 The public dismisses Trump's corruption as "they all do it" 1:23:00 January 6th is still ongoing, it's just taken different forms 1:24:30 What to make of the ongoing Epstein files saga? 1:26:15 Trump's people fanned the flames of Epstein conspiracies 1:28:00 You can't release names of Epstein associates without proof of a crime 1:30:00 America's political realignment is fascinating and potentially disastrous 1:31:15 Is Pam Bondi's job safe? 1:32:30 Trump flexing his power over the city of Washington D.C. 1:34:00 Muriel Bowser has handled Trump well 1:35:00 Morale for journalists is low and unsettled 1:36:00 Journalists are now required to have a personal brand 1:37:30 Every journalist wants to be Woodward and Bernstein 1:39:30 The state of D.C. professional sports1:40:15 Chuck's thoughts on the interview with Scott MacFarlane 1:40:30 Ask Chuck 1:40:35 What to make of Trump trying to undo Biden's late term pardons? 1:45:45 Will Gavin Newsom's "pivot to the middle" work in middle America? 1:49:30 What is the advantage of Dan Osborne running for senate over governor?

JP and BMitch are live from Easterns Motors for today's show. The guys open with some James Wood home run derby reactions.

Strap in for a deep dive into Grey's 2025 2nd Half Top 100 Rankings! No surprises at the top: Judge, Ohtani, and Elly hold down the top three. But does James Wood deserve to be at #4? Let's talk about that monster first half and why Rudy's got him lower. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Again, we have publicly committed to predictions an hour before the (all NCiB Boyfriend) Home Run Derby begins, that you won't hear until you already know who won. How'd we do? We also check in on our pre-season predictions on standings and individual awards and learn that while some are just as terrible as history has taught us to expect, we are surprisingly right on in some places. Those places are not the American League. We've got some pretty good running “for a catcher,” more benchmarks for PCA, Kyle treating OPACY like home, and some pretty irate Phillies. Congrats to Tito Francona for winning #2000! We wonder what's in the HS drinking fountain water in Oklahoma that produced the #1 and #4 picks in this year's draft. More commitments in the WBC, and some travel ban cross-training with FIFA.We say, “It's just not aerodynamic when your shirt is unbuttoned so far,” “His golf caddies have named him Pelé,” and “How do you solve a problem like Pottymouth?” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

The 4th of July has passed, but there will be some fireworks in Atlanta in just a few days as one of the most electrifying events in baseball takes center stage. The Home Run Derby. A stacked field will arrive at Truist Park ready to put on a show. The eight contestants consist of Cal Raleigh, James Wood, Junior Caminero, Byron Buxton, Brent Rooker, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Oneil Cruz and Ronald Acuña Jr. Jake and Jordan have been bursting with excitement for this year's Derby, and now they break down the field and ultimately pick a winner. While those home run hitters are preparing to show off their power, the next great home run hitters might be waiting to hear their names called as the MLB Draft is just a couple of days away. The Washington Nationals have the number one pick, and coming off of a recent franchise overhaul, with the firing of their long-time GM and manager, they hope to take someone who will help carry them into the future. Jake and Jordan discuss this and chat about names to look out for in the 2025 MLB Draft. MLB has announced its top-20 highest selling jerseys, and to no one's surprise, Shohei Ohtani is at the top of that list. What is surprising is where some other players landed, including those who didn't make or fell off of the list.Last, but surely not least, everyone's favorite segment of the week is here. The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.

Devin and Steve return with a comprehensive breakdown of 2025 MLB All-Star Week where tradition, innovation, and controversy collide under the Atlanta lights. We begin with the unveiling of the final All-Star rosters, then turn to the storyline sparking the most buzz: Rafael Devers' quiet snub of Giants icon Will Clark. Devers was scheduled to participate in a symbolic first-base tutorial with Clark, but his no-show sparked discussion across the baseball world about professionalism, legacy, and perception. From there, we shift focus to the most significant technological debut of the year: the ABS (Automated Balls and Strikes) Challenge System will make its first official appearance in Tuesday's All-Star Game. What does this hybrid system mean for the future of umpiring, and how did fans respond to it during spring training? We dig into the implications. Then it's on to MLB Draft Week, where we spotlight the most impactful prospects in the 2025 class from Ethan Holliday to Kade Anderson, Eli Willits, Jamie Arnold, and more. Who's rising, who fits where, and how might this class shape the next era of baseball? Also in this episode:

Chuck Todd begins by highlighting potential Trump cabinet members that are likely to be resigned or fired in the near future. He rails against the damage RFK Jr. is inflicting on public heath, but predicts Pete Hegseth or Pam Bondi will exit first for making Trump “look bad”. He also recounts recent polling show Democratic voters want drastic action from their lawmakers and points out the 2028 presidential hopefuls that have made stops in early primary states.Then, Chuck is joined by Nathan Gonzalez, editor and publisher of “Inside Elections”, to analyze the evolving political landscape ahead of the 2026 midterms. They dive into potential Senate retirements, the challenges facing Trump nominees like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr., and how issues like tariffs and aggressive deportations could impact Republican prospects. The conversation explores whether we'll see more competitive Democratic primaries as the party searches for a new identity, and examines key races from New York and New Jersey that could foreshadow national trends.The discussion also covers some fascinating political developments, including the IRS decision to allow churches to endorse candidates and what that means for the intersection of politics and religion. Gonzalez and Todd speculate about Elon Musk's potential influence on third-party movements, analyze gubernatorial races in states like Ohio and Michigan, and consider how "Biden baggage" might affect Democratic candidates. They wrap up with some college sports talk, debating conference realignment, misleading conference names and the upcoming Pac-12 season.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment about Pakistan, RFK Jr. and a potential rebranding opportunity for Democratic Socialists.Timeline: (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction01:00 Which Trump cabinet secretary will be next to leave?02:30 Record measles outbreak under RFK Jr.03:45 RFK Jr could hurt Republican candidates in midterms05:00 Measles outbreak should be a bigger story06:30 RFK Jr lied to Senator Bill Cassidy08:30 Kennedy is doing tremendous damage to public health09:45 Hegseth and Bondi are doing most damage to Trump politically11:00 Outsiders get eaten alive at the Pentagon12:15 Joni Ernst is the most likely Hegseth replacement13:00 MAGA media has turned on Pam Bondi over Epstein15:00 Howard Lutnick's media appearances have stopped15:45 Scott Bessent could get the fed chair job17:00 Will the Senate pick a fight with Trump over fed chair?18:30 Bondi most likely to go in the short term19:30 Democratic voters want drastic action from their representatives21:30 Trump's re-election is creating a reactionary revolution on the left24:00 The Big Beautiful Bill could be a huge political loser for MAGA26:30 Democrats will distance themselves from Biden28:30 New poll mapping voter preferences was revealing30:15 The “invisible primary” for 2028 presidential election31:15 2028 Democratic hopefuls are visiting early primary states33:15 Ruben Gallego is getting lots of buzz 35:30 IRS won't revoke churches' tax-exempt status for practicing politics37:00 Nathan Gonzalez joins the Chuck ToddCast! 39:00 Anticipating any senate retirements prior to 2026? 41:00 Joni Ernst most likely to replace Hegseth if he's fired? 42:30 Hegseth and RFK Jr are causing problems for Trump 44:00 What Kennedy is doing at HHS will be a big midterm issue 46:30 The tariff bomb will hit hard, but hasn't hit yet 49:30 Did Biden's team set up the bad debate on purpose? 51:45 Will NY and NJ elections foreshadow the midterms? 53:45 How Mikie Sherrill handles Zohran Mamdani will be telling 56:00 Will we see more competitive Democratic primaries? 57:30 Democrats are wrestling with finding a new identity 58:15 IRS will allow candidate endorsements by churches 1:00:00 Could other entities claim to be churches for political purposes? 1:01:45 Politics and religion have always mixed, will be more overt now 1:03:15 The IRS decision will be bad for churches 1:05:45 How heavy will "Biden baggage" be in 2026? 1:08:00 Will Biden ties sink Pete Buttigieg? 1:09:30 Is a Ramaswamy victory a done deal in Ohio? 1:10:30 Where should Musk target his money to boost third parties? 1:13:45 Musk should support both the Libertarian and Forward parties 1:16:15 Musk hasn't indicated what he's FOR 1:17:30 Alaska and Maine could be ripe for third party success 1:19:30 Dan Osborne's viability in Nebraska? 1:21:30 Rural states could be in play due to tariff turmoil 1:22:30 Dynamics of Michigan Democratic governor primary 1:25:30 Are Mike Duggan's Biden ties a liability? 1:26:30 What under the radar issues could bubble up in 2026? 1:27:45 Aggressive deportations will hurt Republicans 1:29:15 Republican voters care about immigration nationally, not locally 1:30:45 Bigger sin for college conferences: misleading name or geography? 1:33:00 What to expect in the Pac-12 this season? 1:36:45 Oregon State and Washington State should be playing with big schools 1:38:30 Where to find Nathan's work1:40:00 Chuck's thoughts on interview with Nathan Gonzalez 1:41:40 Ask Chuck 1:42:00 Why isn't the U.S. government tougher on Pakistan? 1:46:45 Why don't leftist Democrats frame their politics as pre-Reagan Democrat? 1:51:15 Why is anti-vax sentiment only framed as an RFK Jr. issue? 1:55:00 James Wood in the home run derby a bright spot for Nats fans

At this point we can't tell the difference between crosstraining and the Police Blotter. We have travel bans, trans bans, international volleyball, collegiate swimming, and harmful decisions. We also have a WNBA player insulting Patti's hometown, but Patti takes the high road and offers help with geography and, well, words. As we approach the All Star break we have Cal and Woody both doing Barry Bonds things. We've got Pete being veteran-level thoughtful and also playing impossible defense. Kody proves Pottymouth makes some good decisions, but she checks the math to be sure. The Nats fire their manager and their GM while your hosts are on the metro returning from Nats Park. No lie, that felt weird.

Craig welcomes on MLB Network's Robert Flores to get his reaction to the Nationals' stunning decision to fire GM Mike Rizzo and Manager Davey Martinez just one week before the MLB Draft, where Washington holds the No. 1 pick. Flores says the timing shocked him and reflects on how Rizzo's trade of Juan Soto—bringing in CJ Abrams, James Wood, and MacKenzie Gore—may ultimately be viewed as the foundation for the team's return to contention. They also discuss how attractive the Nationals' GM job will be this offseason.

Plus, James Wood gets some love as we celebrate his first anniversary as a big-leaguer, dot on him joining the HR Derby, and wonder why he didn't get much love on the All-Star ballots!

James Wood has been the reason people show up to Nationals games NBA Summer League Starts Today Storylines for the Washington Wizards' Summer League What to watch for Wizards-wise in the summer league

The Marines got a much need win last night but they are still seven games back of the Astros in the AL West. Wyman and Bob debate if the Mariners still have a shot to make it to the postseason and what the starting pitchers need to do to get back to what we are used to. // Who needs to get hot on this Mariners offense to get this team back on track? Arozarena has started to heat up but the rest of the lineup has not been producing at the plate. // Take Two: Jeff Passan is reporting that James Wood of the Washington Nationals will be joining Cal Raleigh and Ronald Acuna Jr in the Home Run Derby. Mark Maske of The Washington Post reports that the NFL and the Players Association are not expected to engage in formal negotiations to expand to an 18-game regular season until "at least early 2026." // Wyman and Bob break down an early preview of the 49ers as a part of our NFC West preview. They are one of the least likely teams that would commit to a rebuild with all their core players entering or already in the prime of their careers. 2:45 - Cal Raleigh has made the AL All-Star game roster and will be the starting catcher and he spoke about the experiences he is having with all the national recognition and what he looks forward to about being a part of the All-Star team.

James Wood is solidifying himself as a star and future super star.  Case knows exactly what he's doing right at the dish and will share. It's more like a train wreck than a Subway Series and the Mets and Yanks limp into their big weekend matchup.  What's wrong with Anthony Volpe? Is Aaron Judge's season getting wasted?

Welcome to another episode of "Is This A Great Game, Or What?" For those who are new here, Tim and Jeff Kurkjian, a father-son duo, chat with you about baseball three days a week. This week, we take time to remember Dave Parker, who passed away on June 28th and is set to be inducted into the Hall of Fame on July 27th. We get excited because it is finally July, the month that is second only to October for Tim. Cal Ripken on this date, had something huge happen in his career, so did both Bob Gibson and Walter Johnson (hey, did we ever tell you that...)When it comes to intentional walks, James Wood is doing it a lot this year but nobody did it better than Barry Bonds, we get some perspective on that. Two signatures that Tim got as a kid that have us baffled plus, and a special shoutout to a brand new podcast you definitely didn't know existed!Thanks for listening, spread the show to others by subscribing or following wherever you listen.
