Podcast appearances and mentions of John Fetterman

Matt Nagy is here to ruin another QB, and the Jalen McMillan hype train has arrived yet again! We cover the 2026 NY Giants and the 2026 Tampa Bay Buccaneers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this unfiltered, darkly comic episode of Hammer Time 1987, hosts and guest Garrick Wright open with a blunt declaration that Lindsey Graham is dead—and they feel more relief than mourning. The conversation dives headfirst into whether it's acceptable to celebrate the demise of long-entrenched war hawks who refused to leave power, comparing Graham's record of endless foreign interventions to the blood on the hands of far more infamous figures. From there, the show ricochets through a chaotic mix of current events: a Maine transgender Democratic candidate and a jaw-dropping Brother Nathaniel tweet, John Fetterman's rumored party switch, Trump's push to install Graham's sister in the Senate, and swirling online speculation that Mitch McConnell is already gone (or brain-dead) while his staff allegedly deploys AI photos to delay a special election. Tucker Carlson clips fuel a scathing look at the expanding Iran conflict, Israel's influence, and Trump's inability (or unwillingness) to restrain it, while the hosts muse that America might be better off under an Arab monarch than its current “joke” of a democracy. Side trips include crypto skepticism, The Simpsons' eerie predictive power and simulation theories, Mamdani's New York mayoral ambitions, and a lighter close on the Buffalo Bills' new stadium and urinal memorabilia. Equal parts gallows humor, conspiracy-tinged frustration, and anti-interventionist rage, the episode treats the deaths (real or rumored) of powerful senators as long-overdue political housecleaning in a system that only changes when people die.

Jeff takes a few moments to listen to some entertaining clips from Senator John Fetterman.

In the second hour Jeff cheers on John Fetterman and then chats with Stan Andrewski.

Die Republikeine in die Amerikaanse Senaat het weereens die resolusie oor oorlogsmagte wat president Donald Trump sou dwing om Amerikaanse magte aan vyandelikhede met Iran te onttrek, gekeer. Die resolusie is met 49 teen 50 afgekeur, met die Demokratiese senator, John Fetterman, wat saam met die Republikeine gestem het. Dis die tweede keer in twee weke dat die Senaat ʼn oorlogsmagte-resolusie afkeur. Die Demokratiese leier in die Senaat, Chuck Schumer, sê volgens hom is hierdie oorlog een van die grootste katastrofes in Amerika se geskiedenis:

The Democratic Socialists of America are no longer hiding their agenda. Their leaders openly support abolishing the Senate, ICE, prisons, and America's borders. They also want noncitizens voting and major corporations placed under government ownership. Even Joe Scarborough is warning Democratic leaders to condemn the movement before Republicans define the party for them. Sen. John Fetterman is also pushing back, saying socialist candidates should stop running as Democrats and form their own party. Amber examines how Barack Obama helped move the Democratic Party toward today's radical left, why prominent Democrats continue attacking America, and how selective history is being used to portray the United States as uniquely evil. Dr. Andrew Fox joins the show to discuss political groupthink, the growing appeal of socialism, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer's warning about people surrendering independent thought to ideology and social approval. Dr. Fox is the author of the forthcoming book, Truth in the Age of Applause: How Stupidity Is Ruining the American Dream. Plus, if time allows, Amber covers Anthony Fauci's Senate hearing, his repeated use of the Fifth Amendment, and the growing demand for accountability over pandemic-era decisions. https://www.truthintheageofapplause.com/ Join Me On Telegram https://t.me/theambermayshow Podcast Like A PRO https://podcast-like-a-pro.trainercentralsite.com Promocode Amber Discord https://discord.gg/kUsDba4zRj https://discord.com/channels/1331829063400034435/1331829063869792308 The Amber May Show Theme Song https://suno.com/song/87e27080-4ddb-47f7-8722-b00b251e6c84 Get AMAZING Amber May Merchandise https://www.ambermayshow.com/amazing-products Follow Me on Pickax https://pickax.com/?referralCode=gb4e11n&refSource=copy Follow me on FaithNFreedom https://www.faithnfreedom.social/u/3d6be46b Get all your My Pillow Products at a DISCOUNT www.mypillow.com/amber Use Promo Code AMBER and save up to 66% off Promo code-AMBER 800-957-2123 Get Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and SAVE Dr Stella Immanuel https://marketplace.drstellamd.com/amber-may Use Promo Code AmberMay and save Become An Affiliate with Dr Stella https://rehoboth-medical-cli.trackdesk.com/sign-up?referralAccountId=1f8c94aa-933e-4aa8-ac5b-5a8d9a0d4508 Save Money When Using A Patient Advocate In The Medical System https://www.graithcare.com/?ref=Amber Take Control of Your Health & Healing!

Dr. Anthony Fauci just sat in front of a Senate committee and invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times rather than answer a single question under oath about his COVID decisions. This hearing came right after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) released hundreds of pages from Fauci's personal diaries. Those entries show the gap between what he told the public and what he was writing privately about masks, lockdowns, the lab-leak theory, and his own rising celebrity. Instead of explaining any of it, Fauci chose silence. Rand Paul warned there would be repercussions. Josh Hawley called him out for contempt of the American people. His attorney even got removed from the room. Regular Americans lived through the school closures, the job losses, the family separations, and the ever-changing rules that Fauci helped shape. Now the man at the center of it all won't even say what day of the week it is without pleading the Fifth. That should tell you everything about how accountable our institutions really are. Pat also covered: Saudi Arabia joins the United States in the fight against Iran. Is America's relationship with Israel finally back to normal? Is Iran winning the propaganda war against the U.S.? John Thune keeps defying the president and the American people. Does Chuck Schumer support abolishing the Senate? Do you think pleading the Fifth 111 times is the move of an innocent man? What do you make of a public health official who spent years telling us what to do, then refuses to answer questions once the diaries come out?

Chuck Todd argues Republicans and the White House are frantically trying to manufacture headlines about the past precisely because the actual news of the present is terrible for the GOP, and because the very issues that got Trump elected are the ones he's now ignoring. Democrats are winning heading into the midterms, TChuck says; the only real question is by how much, which is exactly why Republicans are so desperate to feed their base culture-war red meat as a distraction. But the story Chuck argues is being dangerously underplayed is the Iran war, which is no longer a regional conflict at all: close to thirty countries have been directly involved, multiple nations have been hit, and the Iran and Ukraine wars have effectively merged through shared supply chains — Russia has launched thousands of Iranian-made drones at Ukraine, improved and manufactured them, and is now shipping them back to Iran, while Ukrainian air defense teams have been redeployed to the Middle East and the American stockpile of interceptor missiles has been so massively depleted that commanders are rationing them. He calls the war the dumbest mistake a president has made in decades, while rising oil prices help both Iran and Russia.. It's not World War III, he cautions, but it's genuinely hard to see how it ends, and Congress should be singularly focused on it and simply isn't. He then pivots to what he calls a politics of AI that hasn't been invented yet, where the public is way ahead of the politicians: 72% of Americans have used AI in the past three months and like it, but the vast majority don't trust big tech or the AI companies, and the fierce backlash against data centers is really the manifestation of a deeper anger ever since tech companies stopped trying to improve lives and started maximizing engagement. The public isn't rejecting AI, he argues, it's rejecting the technologists, and Trump has planted himself firmly on the side of the tech companies over the public. He closes by lamenting that political energy is being spent on Fauci rather than pandemic preparedness — before quick hits on Todd Achilles getting a one-on-one race in Idaho, Seth Bodnar leading in Montana if the Democrat can be coaxed into dropping out, and the question hanging over Michigan: if Abdul El-Sayed loses, will it have been because of Mamdani's Israel speech? Then, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear — the popular two-term Democrat in a deep-red state and a name increasingly floated for 2028 — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation that opens with Kentucky's famous Fancy Farm Picnic and the increasingly countercultural idea that political disagreement shouldn't make people enemies. Beshear turns pointed on Mitch McConnell, who he says has been absent for six weeks without speaking to him, arguing that McConnell has a fundamental duty to level with the people of Kentucky about his condition.. Beshear notes the governor has no authority to declare a vacancy, calls on John Thune to help put the concerns to rest, and observes pointedly that if the situation were reversed, McConnell would be ruthlessly tactical about it — and that the right should arguably be angrier, since it's one fewer vote for the GOP agenda. Beshear reflects at length and with real emotion on the COVID years, which he calls the war of our time with a higher casualty rate than most Americans appreciate, credits Kentucky's expanded Medicaid with keeping the state from running out of hospital beds, and warning that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will close 35 hospitals in Kentucky alone. He's sharply critical of Rand Paul for dragging Fauci into character-assassination hearings while staying conspicuously silent on McConnell, and reminds listeners it was Trump who ordered governors to shut down the economy, not Fauci. The conversation turns to Beshear's political philosophy and the road ahead for Democrats. He rejects the "moderate" label in favor of "pragmatic," arguing that the constant battle to label everyone misses how much more complicated reality actually is. Beshear makes the case that Democrats don't win by becoming a Democratic version of McConnell or Trump, that the party needs to be the party of making the economy work again, and that it should champion structural reforms like campaign finance amendments, outlawing gerrymandering, and directly electing the president. He's visibly frustrated with Democrats who blame other Democrats when Republicans are the ones doing the damage — there's no time for "woulda-couldas," he argues, when Trump and the GOP are inflicting this much harm. As a leader in the Democratic Governors Association, Beshear lays out where he sees real opportunity: big resources heading into Georgia, the critical importance of Katie Hobbs winning in Arizona to ensure a fair 2028 election, and the DGA's willingness to spend anywhere it can win. He addresses the data center backlash as fundamentally rooted in anxiety about AI and big tech's failure to talk to the communities it moves into, and stays characteristically coy about his own 2028 ambitions.

It's not World War III, he cautions, but it's genuinely hard to see how it ends, and Congress should be singularly focused on it and simply isn't. He then pivots to what he calls a politics of AI that hasn't been invented yet, where the public is way ahead of the politicians: 72% of Americans have used AI in the past three months and like it, but the vast majority don't trust big tech or the AI companies, and the fierce backlash against data centers is really the manifestation of a deeper anger ever since tech companies stopped trying to improve lives and started maximizing engagement. The public isn't rejecting AI, he argues, it's rejecting the technologists, and Trump has planted himself firmly on the side of the tech companies over the public. He closes by lamenting that political energy is being spent on Fauci rather than pandemic preparedness — before quick hits on Todd Achilles getting a one-on-one race in Idaho, Seth Bodnar leading in Montana if the Democrat can be coaxed into dropping out, and the question hanging over Michigan: if Abdul El-Sayed loses, will it have been because of Mamdani's Israel speech?

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Stacey Matthews is a contributor at RedState joined me to discuss Sen. John Fetterman's unique ability to be no insane when it comes to the Fauci hearing today and the rise of socialists in the Democrat Party. We also discussed the primary poopshow in Wisconsin, where a DSA radical is poised to win the nomination for Governor. Plus, someone finally asked former North Carolina Roy Cooper a question about his COVID edicts. It was, naturally, a softball question for the US Senate candidate.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, modern Western societies, enlightened and democratic, are experiencing “soft negative power.” Gradually, our democratic institutions are being subverted by the infiltration of unelected institutions like bureaucracies, independent agencies, and the judiciary. Soft negative power leads to authoritarian democracy. One branch of government absorbs and overtakes the others. Legislatures pass tyrannical laws. Soft negative power is so effective that one of the worst tyrannies of all—Marxism—is now deeply ingrained in the Western psyche. If you take money from one successful person and give it to five others who haven't earned it, who do you think those five people will vote for? This is why America is a republic, not a democracy. This is why the Founding Fathers put in safeguards such as a Senate, Electoral College, and a Supreme Court—things Democratic Socialists despise. Also, Democratic Socialists are Marxists. How different is the Democratic Party from the DSA? Abolish the Electoral College? Pack the SCOTUS? Redistribute wealth? Sounds pretty communist! Megan Romer is the co-chair of the DSA, and she didn't hide anything: on Fox News Sunday, she called for abolishing the Senate, the presidency, the SCOTUS, ICE, borders, and prisons, and wants government ownership of corporations. Steve Kornacki at NBC looked at the poll numbers, and while Democrats love all this Marxism, 8 out of 10 independents want nothing to do with it. Yet Republicans aren't capitalizing on this. Moderate Democrats like John Fetterman don't fit in anymore. Will Republicans provide them a home? Then, Anthony Fauci is set to testify before Rand Paul's Senate committee. Turns out Fauci kept a diary during COVID. He patted himself on the back for all the media attention he received and all the celebrities and high officials he met. But the diary shows he lied to us about COVID's fatality rate. Fauci spouted one set of numbers in public but wrote different numbers in his diary. Look for Rand Paul to rake Fauci over the coals. But remember this the next time someone pushes Medicare for All. We now know there was no scientific basis for the six-foot rule. We now know there was no benefit to masks. If the government controls your healthcare, the government controls what kind of healthcare you get. Finally, news flash: Elon Musk is no longer a trillionaire. Poor Bernie Sanders—he just lost his talking point! SpaceX stock lost $600 billion in value. That's how money works: it's fleeting, and it's investors who determine the value of a company. But Musk is an example of the American Dream. He started with nothing and made something of himself. And so what if he's a billionaire or trillionaire? It doesn't affect you, unless you work for him. Rich people create jobs and prosperity. It's communist regimes where people starve. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Plus, the Trump administration is ending a subsidy program that helped hold down premiums for Medicare drug plans—a move that could make health care more expensive for some seniors. And the Fed's July meeting kicks off today, with a decision expected tomorrow. WSJ chief economics correspondent Nick Timiraos explains why this is one of the most unpredictable meetings in years.

I can't even call Lara Trump's interview with John Fetterman last night a swing and a miss, because I'm not so sure Lara made it to the ballpark. The single most important question (which should have been the ONLY question to ask the PA senator) Lara failed to ask. Plus news reporters, editors and managers at the legacy news outlets have been on China's PAYROLL? Oh yes - the deep dive into the money trail that tells us an awful lot about their fake news agenda. Don't miss the end... why Joe Scarborough and his wife Mika said on the air... "oh my God..."    

Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman has  changed his mind on the filibuster. Sen. Fetterman discusses where he differs from his party lines, including Democratic Socialist efforts around the country. Stephen Miran was appointed by President Trump to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Ahead of the central bank's two-day policy meeting, Miran discusses money supply, its relationship to inflation, and the future of United States monetary policy. He's expecting the Fed to hold rates steady. Plus, Sherwin-Williams has reported a quarterly beat, Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay $5.5B to settle the talc lawsuits that have hung over the stock for years, Cracker Barrel is bringing in a new CEO, and YouTube and Peacock are teaming up.   Stephen Miran - 18:31 Sen.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 24, 2026. We open with California's mail-in ballot system — and the 150,000 ballots rejected in the June primary as invalid. Out of 8.5 million ballots returned, nearly 94,000 arrived too late and another 50,000 failed signature verification. We connect it to the Los Angeles mayor's race, where Spencer Pratt held second place in ballots received before Election Day — and then mysteriously dropped to third as post-Election Day ballots arrived and a democratic socialist surged from third to first. We explain why California's system — which mails ballots to every registered voter, accepts them up to seven days after Election Day, and allows signature corrections after the fact — is designed for maximum permissiveness rather than maximum integrity. We also note that the pressure from Trump's DOJ is producing results: states are now publicly acknowledging ballot problems they would have quietly buried before. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump issued new tariffs on 60 countries — including Canada, Mexico, the UK, and EU members — based on a new legal justification targeting forced labor in supply chains, after the Supreme Court struck down his prior tariff authority earlier this year. Then four Somali immigrants in Minnesota pled guilty to defrauding Medicaid out of millions by using AI to fabricate patient notes for medical visits that never happened, billing the government for fictional services through a fake company called Brilliant Minds Services LLC. And the Democratic Party announced its 2028 primary schedule — placing South Carolina first because of its higher proportion of Black voters, a state Democrats haven't won in a presidential election since Jimmy Carter in 1976. We call it what it is: racial politics dressed up as party reform. We also cover the man who disguised himself as a police officer and murdered Minnesota state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband in a politically motivated attack — sentenced this week to life in prison. We say plainly: political violence cannot be given an inch, regardless of who commits it or who the targets are. What happens in Mexico — where candidates are killed and hung from bridges — cannot be allowed to happen here. We dig deep into a congressional reform proposal with two straightforward components that somehow don't already exist. First, ban members of Congress from having sexual relationships with congressional staffers — including colleagues' staffers, not just their own. Second, require FBI background checks for all House employees within 30 days of starting work, plus a foreign influence disclosure form requiring staffers to reveal any contracts or payments from foreign governments within the past three years. We explain why both of these are urgent: active investigations currently implicate congressional staffers as potential agents of Qatar, China, and Cuba — multiple cases involving China and Cuba alone. Congressional staffers write the bills, negotiate in back rooms, and exercise enormous real power. We should know who they are and who is paying them. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson revisit the question of how to find couple friends — and arrive at the same beautiful, frustrating conclusion they always do. Couple friendship is seasonal, it's fragile, it's devastated by divorce, and it is almost impossible to manufacture. The best couple friends come through your children's sports, through shared seasons of life, and occasionally through the miraculous coincidence of your children marrying each other's best friends' children. Guys don't have friends — they have wives. And their wives have friends. And those friends have husbands. That's the whole system. We also cover LeBron James signing with the Philadelphia 76ers — and President Trump's answer when asked in the Oval Office whether LeBron or Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time. Trump said he only likes people who like him, and therefore: Michael Jordan, all the way. We agree with the conclusion if not necessarily the methodology. We also discuss John Fetterman's midterm strategy advice for Democrats — delivered in his signature style: don't be weird, don't be communist, don't be weirdo socialist, don't praise Mao, and don't do crazy stuff. We call it the most useful political advice any Democrat has given their party in years, and note that it will almost certainly be ignored. Then it's Fake News Friday — including whether Mamdani admitted he lacks authority to invade Poland, whether the EU makes more fining U.S. tech companies than taxing its own, whether right-wing extremists in the UK were arrested for planning to disrupt Muslim events, whether a Minnesota woman was convicted of saying a slur to a Somali man accused of rape who was never prosecuted, whether Ben Franklin performed electroshock experiments on slaves, whether the Smithsonian put that in a museum exhibit, whether Trump announced a third-term run, whether a New York school district hired a robot teacher, and whether the Obama Presidential Library stiffed its plumber out of nearly $4 million. Sophie Cunningham's shoes sold out in under 24 hours. We couldn't get any for prizes. For our Bright Spot, Paul Jackson was driving on I-5 near Seattle when he spotted an SUV drifting across three lanes with an unconscious driver and a terrified child in the back seat. He pulled alongside the out-of-control vehicle, wedged it against the concrete barrier, brought both cars to a stop, jumped out, put the SUV in park, and stayed with the woman and child until emergency services arrived. Quick thinking, steady hands, and the willingness to act. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

In Pennsylvania, Gov. Josh Shapiro is on track for a pretty big win in November. And he can't do that without winning over a lot of former Trump voters, including the ones in our focus group. Cook Political Report editor in chief Amy Walter returns to the show to discuss how our Pennsylvania focus group felt about Shapiro, AND Sen. John Fetterman, and about the Trump administration.

In this special episode, Sen. Dave McCormick joins Leigh Ann Caldwell to lay out his energy-first agenda. McCormick argues for regulatory certainty and permitting reform, addresses the enduring conflict with Iran and its impact on gas prices, gets into his surprising partnership with Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, and much more.

Morris Katz helped orchestrate Zohran Mamdani's historic victory and Graham Platner's ultimately disastrous run for Senate. It's quite a résumé  for a political consultant who is still in his 20s. Platner's implosion could prove particularly costly for Democrats. It may mean the difference between winning and losing a Senate majority. But before the rape accusation that ended his campaign, Platner had come out of nowhere to beat Janet Mills, the sitting governor of Maine, who was Chuck Schumer's hand-picked candidate. The lessons to take from that campaign remain angrily contested.  Katz, a senior adviser to Platner, has been central to many of the most attention-grabbing, populist campaigns in recent years: Besides Mamdani's New York mayoral upset, he worked on John Fetterman's 2022 Senate campaign and Dan Osborn's 2024 independent Senate run in Nebraska. He has figured something out about this political moment. Along the way, he has become a controversial figure himself. So what has he gotten right? And what has he learned from what he's gotten wrong?  This episode contains strong language. Ask Me Anything: We're going to be recording an “Ask Me Anything” episode soon.

John welcomes Senate savant and Searchlight Institute president Adam Jentleson to discuss the Democrats' fraught path to retaking control of the upper chamber. A former speechwriter for John Kerry and John Edwards, comms director for Harry Reid, and chief of staff to John Fetterman, Jentleson explains Searchlight's mission of breaking the hold of entrenched interest groups on his party; that rejecting litmus tests and embracing ideological heterodoxy are key to building a stable Democratic governing majority; his confidence that, despite Graham Platner's implosion, Susan Collins is going down in Maine; his worries that the blue team will fumble the ball in Michigan; and why “nobody is doing it better now” than Zohran Mamdani.

- Senator Tim Sheehy argues Iran has attacked Americans for 47 years and defends continued military pressure while rejecting claims that the conflict is an American-made war. - Elon Musk rejects claims that USAID cuts cause mass deaths, calling the agency politically driven and pointing to private foundations capable of replacing legitimate aid programs. - John Fetterman calls Zohran Mamdani a “clown,” dismisses his threats against Benjamin Netanyahu and condemns his refusal to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. - North Yarmouth officials vote to remove a Pride flag from a municipal building and reject a second proposal to display it throughout June. - Former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin's candid comments about her sex life collide with clips of her emotional political coverage, fueling fresh accusations of media hypocrisy.

The New York Jets have new uniforms for the 2026 season. Is it time for their owner Woody Johnson to sell the team? Mark thinks so. Could Democrat John Fetterman be the face of the Democratic Party? RFK Jr is pausing $1bn in Medicaid funding to California and Minnesota due to Medicaid fraud. The funding will be cut off until California and Minnesota get cleaned up of corruption and communism.  Mark takes your calls!  Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Mark and Ann speak about the ways that Republicans can win in certain states for the upcoming elections, the progress that has happened already, and what the GOP needs to do to keep the momentum moving. The Dems are pushing insane policies for the government to take over many things, which are scaring people. Ann believes that Mamdani won possibly due to the war in Iran. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The news got so absurd this week that we're doing a light episode, and it's still somehow about a captured government.Robin breaks down the domestic news stories you can't believe are real: the FDA apologized to Taylor Farms, a million-dollar MAGA donor, in the middle of a cyclospora outbreak that has sickened 7,000 Americans with explosive diarrhea tied to Taco Bell lettuce, while RFK Jr. ignores Jon Ossoff's letter about the gutted CDC surveillance program that should have caught it.Also this episode: Andrew and Tristan Tate arrested by US Marshals in Miami, facing 59 UK rape and human trafficking charges and doing their perp walk in tan jail jumpsuits. Trump's Iran war hits month five of a promised six weeks, with 17 American service members dead, as Rep. Carlos Gimenez calls it "the nature of warfare." Plus Trump crashing Spain's World Cup trophy celebration, the Qatari Air Force One getting "maxed out" over security problems, Kash Patel planning an FBI director trip to Moscow hosted by the FSB, 50 percent tariffs on Canadian hockey sticks, Pete Hegseth's Pentagon plan to hide unclassified records from FOIA, Megyn Kelly's 12-minute Michelle Obama rant, the racist MAGA meltdown over Lupita Nyong'o and Elliot Page in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey (which just posted the biggest opening of 2026 anyway), John Fetterman's Israel red line, Bill Maher saying yes to JD Vance, and Lindsey Graham's Senate seat passing to his sister Darline Graham Nordone like a family heirloom.Political commentary with receipts, three times a week.

You need to see this before the next election: Olive Garden just exposed the hypocrisy on election security in the funniest way possible. The White House roasted Democrats after Olive Garden announced that its $100 Never-Ending Pasta Pass requires a valid photo ID every single time of use. The passes are personalized, non-transferable, and strictly enforced. Yet the same people who think that's perfectly reasonable fight like hell against basic voter ID for actual elections. Pat tears into the double standard and shows why this one hits so hard. Regular Americans live with common sense every day — you need an ID to buy beer, fly on a plane, check into a hotel, or pick up medicine. But somehow proving who you are to vote is treated like an impossible burden by some politicians. This Olive Garden pasta pass ID policy perfectly proves the elite hypocrisy and institutional failure we have all been seeing. Pat also covered: AOC is back and backing El-Sayed for Congress. Congrats to Spain for taking the W on the FIFA World Cup. Another round of attacks against Iran — what's next? Is John Fetterman about to switch to the GOP? Van Jones is COMPLETELY done with the progressive Democrats. Do you think a restaurant should have stricter rules than our polling places?

Aaron McIntire covers the U.S. military's response after Iranian strikes on a base in Jordan left two American service members dead and one missing, plus new Iranian attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan over the weekend. He digs into a $60 billion wave of U.S. business deals with Iraq aimed at building alternative oil shipping routes around the Strait of Hormuz. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz continues defending his pardon of a convicted child rapist, and Aaron reacts to Tom Homan's compromise plan requiring ICE agents to wear body cameras within two months. He also covers a viral Olive Garden customer service exchange over its Never Ending Pasta Pass ID policy, and a widely mocked answer from Maine Senate candidate Ashley Webb about her qualifications for office. Aaron closes by highlighting Bill Maher and Senator John Fetterman's blunt criticism of their own party's drift toward figures like streamer Hasan Piker.

It's always great to check in with our WBR friend and colleague Sean Parnell to hear what's going on at the Pentagon during this Iran crisis.... but the real story I want him to tell is about his 2020 congressional race that turned out like Donald Trump's. How he went to bed that election night with a congratulatory call from Kevin McCarthy only to wake up to a "slim loss." Really? Bill Maher says if democrats continue catering to communists, he will absolutely vote next for a Republican for President. Who would be better as a member of the GOP? John Fetterman? Or RINO Lisa Murkowski?  

Mark dives into the Canadian wildfires and the smoke affecting much of the East Coast. He discusses President Trump's frustration with how Canada has handled the wildfires and his suggestion that tariffs could be used in response. Mark also talks about Zohran Mamdani's latest comments about going after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and what they could mean. The economic impact of the 2026 FIFA World Cup was largely positive, and he comments on the difference in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's accent when speaking in Southern states compared to New York. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Michael says Mamdani's comments about arresting Netanyahu could be a political stunt to energize his supporters. They also discuss Vice President JD Vance facing criticism over comments he made about Israel during his appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Lara Trump about how the rise of Democratic Socialists within the Democratic Party will eventually destroy the party from within; why she believes socialism threatens the country ahead of the 2026 midterm elections; the future of the Democratic Party, Zohran Mamdani, John Fetterman, Gavin Newsom, and the growing divide on the left; Lindsey Graham's legacy and Trump's leadership style; raising children in the Trump family; fitness, health, RFK Jr., and supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through Curetivity; and much more.

With the Senate back in session and important confirmation hearings for the acting AG Todd Blanche and ODNI nominee Jay Clayton, democrats have only one mission: To make republicans say on the record who won the 2020 election. Why? The Big 3 TV networks are in a bind as the clock ticks down to tonight's presidential address. Will they broadcast it? Or face the consequences if they don't? A new poll asks people who they trust more - the police or the media. WHOA. And a new poll finds PA republicans are more favorable over democrat John Fetterman than they are republican Dave McCormick.  

Feed the communists what he hates. The Jesse oil tanker studio. Why do Republicans fall for people like John Fetterman. Does Spencer Pratt have a future in the Republican party?
