Admittedly, I've been a little distracted the last couple weeks, caring for an ailing cat and being a part of a caretaking team for a dear friend. Both passed away over the weekend so I'm just diving back into some things I've missed of late, one of them being the Tom Homan sit down on "Real Time With Bill Maher."On the one hand, I'm a little baffled by Maher's recent display of anti-wokeness, and on the other, he's an aging white cynical comedian who's no different than most straight white men in that they don't get the plight of the trans community and so like most straight white men, he craps on their right to exist in any measure of equality.That being said, he brags about his ability to pull Republican guests while complaining Democrats won't come on his show. I suppose Ro Khanna, Tim Ryan, Rahm Emanuel, Jon Tester, Josh Shapiro, Tina Smith, Al Gore, Adam Schiff, Seth Moulton, John Fetterman and Jason Crow (all from just this season!!!!) don't ring a bell. So in the last three weeks, he's sat with Ben Shapiro, Nancy Mace and Tom Homan. but he's clearly not proud of his sit-down with Homan. Having listened back to it and dissected it for today's show - I can hear why.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by former Montana Senator Jon Tester, a third-generation farmer, former school teacher, and current co-host of Grounded, as well as a political analyst for MSNBC. From his seat on the Senate Appropriations Committee and as Chair of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Tester built a reputation for cutting through the noise and fighting for working people. We unpack how Trump's authoritarian rhetoric is deepening political divisions, the economic fallout from his tariffs, and why rising inflation continues to hammer working families. Tester weighs in on military weapons deals, the fragility of American institutions, and why Democrats must stop playing defense. We also discuss the renewed focus on Jeffrey Epstein, what it reveals about elite power structures, and why truth still matters in an age of disinformation.

Jon Tester is one of the last Senate Democrats standing in a red state. First elected in 2006, he pitches his bipartisan record and his Montana roots as an antidote to national political warfare. He still farms the land his grandparents settled in the state and has a personal relationship with voters. But the state he represents is changing. The Republican candidate, businessman and veteran Tim Sheehy, has accused Tester of being too liberal for Montana, a state that voted for Trump by more than 16 percentage points in 2020.On today's “Post Reports,” host Martine Powers speaks with reporter Liz Goodwin, who traveled to Montana with producer Laura Benshoff, about the race and the Republican voters who used to like Tester and will probably decide his fate.This episode was produced by Laura Benshoff, with help from Emma Talkoff.

Jon Tester in Montana. The outlook for a Republican Senate majority in 2025 is improving.Next, they groan as new numbers and projections from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) show a $1.8 trillion deficit for this past fiscal year and an even bigger one expected for the year to come. The figures also show that just paying the interest on the debt cost taxpayers $892 billion in Fiscal Year 2024 and will be more than a trillion dollars next year. It's unsustainable and neither party cares.Finally, they chronicle the horrible week for CBS News. This includes network management chastising "CBS This Morning" Co-Host Tony Dokoupil for asking some tough questions of Ta-Nehisi Coates about his new book that's very hostile towards Israel,  "60 Minutes" egregiously editing the interview with Kamala Harris, and network brass telling reporters not to say that Jerusalem is in Israel.Please visit our great sponsors:BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3MLVisit the 3ML website for 10% of your first month.  Zbioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLUse code 3ML at checkout to save 15% off your first order.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Rich Valdes, host of America At Night, fills in for Mark. The real threat to democracy is MAGA – It's a threat to the domestic corruption in D.C. The deep state is threatened by MAGA. MAGA is a threat to gender norms. It's a threat to continued wars and open borders. Donald Trump set the example for how you fight back against D.C. Trump figured out, that to change the government you must become the government. Also, Kamala Harris can't answer a simple question – how will you secure the border? Right now, she is overseeing the largest human smuggling operation at the border. She doesn't take the border seriously, the border bill she wants would allow 5,000 illegals into America a day. Later, the canned responses we are hearing in the wake of the second assassination attempt are so nobody has to take accountability for the breach of security. This is where we are at with the leadership at the Secret Service and the current security of Trump which is appalling. Finally, Rich is joined by Tim Sheehy, Republican candidate for Senate in Montana, to discuss the challenge of running against incumbent Jon Tester and a barrage of negative media and about the consequences of the election on Americans.

Larry Sabato is the Founder and Director of the University of Virginia Institute of Politics. There is no better political analyst in the country. Here are the key points he made in today's Bill Press Pod: The 2024 presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is seen as a very close race, with no clear frontrunner. Sabato believes Harris performed well in the first presidential debate, getting under Trump's skin effectively. However, the debate likely only moved the needle slightly in the polls. Sabato is skeptical of polls showing Harris with a comfortable lead, as he believes some Trump supporters are not being honest with pollsters. He points to significant polling misses in recent elections as evidence that the polls cannot be fully trusted. He expresses concern about the reliability of polls in key battleground states like Wisconsin, where polls have significantly underestimated Trump's performance in recent elections. He sees the vice presidential debate as a potential wild card, with Vance potentially struggling to match the performance of Harris's running mate, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. Sabato is critical of Republican members of Congress who have not stood up to Trump, saying they are putting their party's interests ahead of the country.Today urges our listeners to support endangered Senators Sherrod Brown and Jon Tester through ActBlue.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
