Podcast appearances and mentions of Josh Dawsey

The MAGA movement cracks as Trump's name surfaces in the Epstein files and his administration fails to deliver the promised disclosures. We unpack the backlash, the conspiracies, and the lingering question of an intelligence connection to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. Plus: a bizarre UK spy case involving Russia, a USB stick, and a bicycle seat; the Arctic emerges as a flashpoint for missile defense, climate competition, and great power rivalry; and Trump's reversal clears the way for new weapons to reach Ukraine—just not from the US directly.

"The whole world was against me, and I won," said Donald Trump in an exclusive interview, ten days before his second inauguration. Nearly four years after Trump's first turbulent presidency concluded in a violent attempt to overturn the election, he made a political comeback on a scale that stunned the nation. How did the first U.S. president to become a convicted felon regain control of the White House? And at what cost? In 2024, award-winning reporters Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf bring us the definitive and explosive account of how Trump and his advisers overcame a dozen primary challengers, four indictments, two assassination attempts, and his own past mistakes to defeat the Democrats, and pave the way for a second term that would be far more emboldened and revenge-fueled than the first.Drawing on extraordinary access to the Trump, Biden, and Harris teams, 2024 takes readers beyond the speeches, rallies, and debates to reveal the innermost workings of the Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns. Beginning in August 2022 with the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago for classified documents, and Trump's subsequent decision to run once again for president, Dawsey, Pager, and Arnsdorf chart how Trump stifled the rise of Republican opponents, including Ron DeSantis, and how his campaign, led by Susie Wiles, landed on a winning strategy. They reveal in unrivaled detail how Joe Biden and his team brushed off concerns about his age, ignored polling numbers, and held off the next generation of eager Democratic hopefuls-even as Biden was dealing with his own special counsel investigation and the trial of his son Hunter. After his disastrous debate performance forced him to withdraw, Biden anointed Vice President Kamala Harris as the candidate and tasked her with running the shortest presidential campaign in modern U.S. history. With only 107 days to distinguish herself from the past four years, Harris lacked the time or space to outrun Biden's shadow-a challenge in and of itself, but one which Biden would make even more difficult.On November 5th, 2024, Trump was elected the nation's forty-seventh president, and would return to power vindicated, emboldened, unrestrained, and burning for revenge. Gripping, revelatory, and deeply reported, 2024 is the remarkable inside story of one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime, the results of which will test American democracy and shape the future of the free world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

President Donald Trump left the White House in 2021 with a historically low approval rating. After the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, his attempt to overthrow the 2020 presidential election, and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, Republicans, and much of the nation, appeared ready to move on from his presidency. Three years later, Trump returned to the White House with a decisive victory. But his return wasn't predestined. In “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” Post senior White House reporter Isaac Arnsdorf and former Post reporters Josh Dawsey and Tyler Pager reveal how Trump used his public criminal trials to dominate headlines and amass support. Meanwhile, critical missteps by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris's campaigns hampered their ability to counter a Trump comeback. Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with Arnsdorf about the book and discusses exclusive reporting about the Biden, Harris and Trump campaigns. Today's show was produced by Arjun Singh. It was edited by Laura Benshoff and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Katy Burnell Evans. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

O dezvăluire dintr-o carte recent apărută în Statele Unite este comentată pe larg în presa internațională. Președintele Donald Trump le-ar fi spus donatorilor de campanie, în 2024, că l-ar fi amenințat pe Vladimir Putin cu bombardarea Moscovei dacă liderul rus ar invada Ucraina. Cartea se intitulează „2024: Cum a recucerit Trump Casa Albă și democrații au pierdut America”. Autorii sunt trei reporteri politici americani, Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager și Isaac Arnsdorf. După cum transmite CNN, „înregistrarea audio prezintă o latură dezlănțuită a lui Trump, pe care acesta a fost dispus să o dezvăluie în spatele ușilor închise pentru a atrage donatori bogați. El a vorbit nu doar despre strategia sa de politică externă uneori agresivă, ci și despre deportarea studenților protestatari și despre opinia sa că «oamenii legați de asistența socială» vor vota întotdeauna cu democrații”.   Fox News amintește că Donald Trump și-a exprimat recent frustrarea față de Putin, în timp ce încearcă să pună capăt războiului dintre Rusia și Ucraina. Marți, Trump a declarat în timpul unei ședințe de cabinet că s-a săturat de Putin și a spus că are în vedere posibilitatea impunerii de noi sancțiuni Rusiei.   Potrivit Huffington Post, „remarcile fac ecoul afirmațiilor anterioare ale lui Trump, care a susținut că Putin nu ar fi îndrăznit să ordone invazia Ucrainei din 2022 dacă el ar fi rămas în funcție. Trump, însă, l-a lăudat pe Putin imediat după declanșarea războiului și a vorbit pozitiv despre el în public, deși în ultimele luni și-a exprimat frustrarea față de refuzul omologului său de a pune capăt războiului din Ucraina”.   Le Figaro remarcă răspunsul prudent al Moscovei. Deși vocea lui Donald Trump este recognoscibilă pe înregistrare, autenticitatea documentului audio nu a fost confirmată. În această privință, [purtătorul de cuvânt al Kremlinului] Dmitri Peskov a afirmat că nu știe dacă „este un fals sau nu”, chiar dacă „există o mulțime de știri false în zilele noastre”.   „Președintele Trump ar trebui să folosească imediat măsuri împotriva Rusiei pentru a pune capăt definitiv invaziei Ucrainei”, scrie Forbes, într-un articol de opinie. „Pentru a ajunge la o pace autentică, Washingtonul trebuie să furnizeze armele necesare - atât defensive, cât și ofensive. Europenii ar trebui să își sporească și ei asistența. Ucrainenii știu cum să lupte. Incredibil, dar administrația Biden a acționat cu frică, crezând că Putin s-ar putea înfuria cu adevărat și ar putea folosi arme nucleare. Putin s-a jucat sufletele timide ale acestor factori de decizie care fac America slabă. Nu avea de gând să treacă pragul nuclear. Dar astfel de amenințări și-au atins scopul, împiedicând Ucraina să obțină ceea ce avea nevoie pentru a câștiga conflictul. Când Donald Trump și-a început al doilea mandat, Vladimir Putin credea că Rusia era pe cale să câștige războiul.”

What would an Elon Musk-backed third party do for American politics? The fellas look at which party benefits and if the formation of an "America" party would pave a clear path for Democratic victories. They also cover if Musk misunderstands US politics, or if he promised more with DOGE than he (or any one man) could deliver.   Smug wants an influencer-based Epstein inquisition impaneled with some broad powers.   Great coverage of the “kill the gringo” protests and if Smug would escape them in Mexico City, plus Hakeem Jeffries humiliating photoshop fail.

Despite the chaos of January 6th, 34 felony convictions, and his party's underperformance in the 2022 midterms, Donald J. Trump is once again president.  How did he defy political gravity to win again? Why did former President Joe Biden run despite overwhelming evidence that voters didn't want him to? Was there a coverup to conceal his decline, as Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's book, “Original Sin” alleges? Why did former Vice President Harris run such a cautious campaign and refuse to distance herself from Biden? And was she doomed by Biden's late withdrawal, or did her own mistakes cost her the election? As America enters its 250th year and a new political era, Kara speaks with the authors of 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America to answer these questions and understand how we got here. The trio breaks down how Trump beat back his Republican primary opponents, the Biden campaign's fatal missteps, the Harris campaign's stifling paralysis, and why Trump is now governing more like a king than a president.  Isaac Arnsdorf is a senior White House reporter for The Washington Post. His reporting on the first Trump assasination attempt was essential to the Posts's 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News, and he's the author of  "Finish What We Started," about the MAGA movement post January 6th. Josh Dawsey is a political investigations and enterprise reporter for The Wall Street Journal. Josh was part of teams at The Washington Post that won the Pulitzer Prize in 2022 for coverage of Jan. 6 and in 2024 for coverage of the role of the AR-15 in American life. And Tyler Pager is a White House correspondent for The New York Times. In 2022, he won the Gerald R. Ford Journalism Prize for Distinguished Reporting on the Presidency. Questions? Comments?

David Hill reviews 2024 by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf, 

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Israel continues to strike Iranian nuclear development sites, ballistic missile launchers, and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps leadership. On Monday night, President Donald Trump was forced to leave the G7 Summit early in order to focus on the conflict. While speaking with the press aboard Air Force One, Trump said: “I'm not too much in a mood to negotiate” with Iran any longer. 3:10pm- According to a report from Alex Leary and Josh Dawsey of The Wall Street Journal, President Donald Trump met with advisors in the situation room on Tuesday—and is at least considering a U.S. strike on Iran. 3:15pm- Montage: For years, President Donald Trump has insisted that Iran cannot be allowed to develop and possess a nuclear weapon. 3:40pm- The New York Times reports that Fordo—“Iran's most heavily fortified nuclear site”—was constructed deep within a mountain and contains 3,000 sophisticated centrifuges. It's believed Israel does not possess the capabilities to destroy the facility unilaterally and they would require assistance from the U.S. which possesses 30,000-pound bombs. You can read the full report here: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/us/politics/iran-nuclear-site-israel.html. 3:45pm- In a series of posts to Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote of Iran: “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader' is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there—we are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don't want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” He then posted: “Unconditional Surrender!”

Thank you for your attention to this matter!” He then posted: “Unconditional Surrender!” 4:05pm- While appearing on Fox News, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) called out Democrats for comparing the U.S. Army's 250th birthday celebration to an authoritarian military parade. He explained: “Let's…stop ever comparing anyone, anything to the Nazis.” Is Fetterman's sudden shift to the political middle genuine or an act of political convenience? He has emphasized that he hasn't changed, the Democratic Party has—but in 2016, Fetterman endorsed Bernie Sanders for president saying: “He and I agree on virtually everything.” 4:15pm- In an interview with Fox News, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) called for regime change in Iran. 4:30pm- Corey DeAngelis—Senior Fellow at the American Culture Project & Author of the book, “The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten leaving her position at the DNC. But, as DeAngelis asks, why was she holding a position with the Democratic National Committee in the first place? He highlights that roughly 99% of AFT campaign donations over the past 30+ years have gone to Democrats—“it's a money laundering operation.” 5:05pm- In a series of posts to Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote of Iran: “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader' is hiding.

Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ) have called for the Trump Administration to continue to negotiate with Iran. Meanwhile, Senators James Lankford (R-OK), John Fetterman (D-PA), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have opposed assassination but are openly calling for Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Khamenei to be toppled. 5:30pm- What the heck is “gibbeting”? 5:40pm- Breaking News: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been rushed to a D.C. hospital via ambulance.

After an unprecedented campaign season, Election Day in America is finally here. Today, host Martine Powers talks with senior political reporter and host of “The Campaign Moment” podcast Aaron Blake about what to pay attention to as results start to come in this evening, including downballot races and potential scenarios for each candidate's path to victory.Plus: Election anxiety is real! Here's how to manage stress throughout the day.Today's show was produced by Ariel Plotnick and Emma Talkoff. It was mixed by Rennie Svirnovskiy and Sam Bair. It was edited by Reena Flores, with fact checking help from Lucy Perkins. Thanks to Mary Jo Murphy, Jenna Johnson, Cathy Decker, Susan Levine, and the whole slew of Post reporters around the country covering this election on the ground, including Laura Benshoff, Holly Bailey, Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, and Josh Dawsey.

The tech lobby has quietly turned Silicon Valley into the most powerful political operation in America. Pro crypto donors are now responsible for almost half of all corporate donations this election. Elon Musk has gone from an occasional online troll to, as one of our guests calls him, “MAGA's Minister of Propaganda.” And for the first time, the once reliably blue Silicon Valley seems to be shifting to the right. What does all this mean for the upcoming election? To help us better understand this moment, we spoke with three of the most prominent tech writers in the U.S. Charles Duhigg (author of the bestseller Supercommunicators) has a recent piece in the New Yorker called “Silicon Valley, the New Lobbying Monster.” Charlie Warzel is a staff writer at the Atlantic, and Nitasha Tiku is a tech culture reporter at the Washington Post.Mentioned:“Silicon Valley, the New Lobbying Monster” by Charles Duhigg“Big Crypto, Big Spending: Crypto Corporations Spend an Unprecedented $119 Million Influencing Elections” by Rick Claypool via Public Citizen“I'm Running Out of Ways to Explain How Bad This Is” by Charlie Warzel“Elon Musk Has Reached a New Low” by Charlie Warzel“The movement to diversify Silicon Valley is crumbling amid attacks on DEI” by Naomi Nix, Cat Zakrzewski and Nitasha Tiku“The Techno-Optimist Manifesto” by Marc Andreessen“Trump Vs.

Will another debate help Former President Trump? Does he even need it? Maybe not, but does Vice President Harris need one?

Army officials hoped clear rules would avoid a damaging public spat with Former President Trump for his visit to Arlington National Cemetery. He gave them one anyway. Michael welcomes Washington Post political enterprise and investigations reporter Josh Dawsey to discuss his reporting in his co-bylined piece (with Isaac Arnsdorf and Dan Lamothe), "How a Trump visit sparked turmoil at America's most sacred cemetery." Original air date 29 August 2024.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- It's Friday in the summer—and Rich is actually here doing a show LIVE! That's two weeks in a row, for anyone counting.  3:10pm- On Thursday, podcasters Joe Rogan and Russell Brand seemingly endorsed Independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. for president. Given their large, dedicated fan bases will their endorsements carry enough weight to impact the election in any way? And did Rogan officially endorse him? Or were his comments misconstrued?   3:15pm- Clear Choice, a political action committee that is closely aligned with the Democrat Party, is actively seeking to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from state ballots—beginning in New York. The PAC argues that Kennedy lied about his Katonah, New York home address and, consequently, his signature collection campaign and ballot access should be invalidated.  3:40pm- According to the Washington Post, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke with former president Donald Trump last month—prior to Joe Biden's withdraw from the race—about endorsing Trump's campaign in exchange for an appointment within a hypothetical Trump administration. Josh Dawsey and Michael Scherer reported Kennedy wanted to oversee “a portfolio of health and medical issues” but that the “Trump campaign ultimately rejected the offer.” If Kennedy's presence is inadvertently helping Kamala Harris in swing states, will Trump's campaign pursue an agreement that leads to Kennedy's withdraw and endorsement? You can read The Washington Post's initial report here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/22/rfk-jr-floated-job-trump-white-house-he-weighed-endorsing-trump/ 3:55pm- Is Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz the next to get removed from the Democratic Party's ticket? In a recently unearthed clip, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz states: “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are out.” Despite the statement, Walz has never seen combat—retiring from the National Guard before he would have deployed to Iraq.

Similarly, UK Police Commissioner Mark Rowley has threatened to extradite and imprison American citizens over online posts. With Democrat Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz having stated that the First Amendment shouldn't extend to speech the government considers “misinformation” or “hate speech,” could similar laws restricting speech be part of the Harris-Walz campaign's platform? 4:40pm- During an interview on CNN, Scotland's former Prime Minister Humza Yousaf accused Elon Musk of being “evil” and trying to start a Civil War. In response, he called for heavy government involvement in regulation. 4:55pm- Did Matt just play the worst return music in the history of The Rich Zeoli Show? 5:00pm- Jessie Jane Duff—Gunnery Sergeant U.S. Marine Corps (ret), 2024 Campaign Executive Director Veterans for Trump, & Ambassador America First Policy Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Kamala Harris's unwillingness to speak with the press. Plus, is the controversy surrounding Tim Walz's exaggerated military record about to disappear anytime soon? Absolutely not! Duff emphasizes that Walz openly lied about “serving in combat” and benefited from the lie by being elected to office. 5:35pm- Donald Trump's plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Billings, Montana due to a mechanical failure. The plane, thankfully, landed safely and Trump remains scheduled to speak at Montana State University on Friday night. 5:40pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest op-ed for Fox News, “America's Reckless Iran Policy Has Middle East On Brink Of War. Only One Thing Can Pull Us Back Now.” Her upcoming book is: “Winning the War on Israel: Inside the Battle for the Jewish State and America.” You can read Dr. Coates's full editorial here: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/americas-reckless-iran-policy-has-middle-east-brink-war-only-one-thing-can-pull-back-now 6:05pm- CNN's Brianna Keilar accused JD Vance of being an “imperfect messenger” for challenging Tim Walz's history of exaggerating his military service. Keilar baselessly claimed Vance exaggerated his own military record and was a “combat correspondent” for the US Marine Corps—inaccurately suggesting the position isn't dangerous. Vance responded on social media: “Brianna this is disgusting, and you and your entire network should be ashamed of yourselves. When I got the call to go to Iraq, I went. Tim Walz said he carried a gun in a war. Did he? No. It was a lie.” 6:30pm- Kamala Harris FINALLY answers questions from the press…for less than 90 seconds. If we are being honest, she didn't answer anything that could objectively be considered “difficult.” She did say she would like to participate in her first interview since becoming the Democrat Party's presidential nominee by the end of the month, but offered no specifics or guarantees. When will the press hold her accountable for running away from questions and the press?  Will she ever be held accountable for her past advocation of dangerous, far-left policies? 6:40pm- Luke Rosiak of The Daily Wire writes: “Virginia this week removed more than 6,300 non-citizens from the state's voter rolls as part of election security measures spearheaded by Gov. Glenn Youngkin. On Wednesday, Youngkin signed an executive order instructing the Department of Elections to remove ‘non-citizens who may have purposefully or accidentally registered to vote.' Pursuant to the order, the state also identified and removed from voter rolls 79,867 deceased voters, and identified registered voters who had moved out of state.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/virginia-removes-more-than-6000-non-citizens-from-voter-rolls 6:50pm- On Meet the Press NOW, NBC News Washington Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and host Ryan Nobles noted that Kamala Harris has refused to engage with the media and that the “grace period” is quickly running out.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- The sub-headline of a recent piece courtesy of The New York Times reads: “Voters eager to elect the first female president pointed to anger over a loss of abortion rights, but also acknowledged a fear that sexism would remain difficult for Ms. [Kamala] Harris to overcome.” Rich notes that the attack angle Democrats and the media will gravitate towards in the 2024 presidential race is simply calling opponents of Harris sexist or racist. You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/22/us/kamala-harris-women-voters.html 3:10pm- On Sunday, in a post to the social media platform X, President Joe Biden announced that he would withdraw immediately from the 2024 presidential race. He reasoned: “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.” Later Biden posted once more from his X account, endorsing his Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor: “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it's been the best decision I've made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats—it's time to come together and beat Trump.” On Tuesday, the Biden Administration announced that the president will address Americans on Wednesday. 3:15pm- On Monday night Kamala Harris received the pledged support of a majority of delegates—presumably making her the Democrat Party's presidential nominee. According to The Washington Post's delegate tracker, 3,004 of the nearly 4,000 delegates have endorsed Harris. DNC Chairman Jamie Harrison has said that he believes the party will virtually select their nominee by August 7th—though, the process could be completed as soon as August 1st. 3:35pm- While speaking to the press, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson condemned Vice President Kamala Harris' decision to skip Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress on Wednesday. 3:40pm- According to The Washington Post, Marianne Williamson is actively seeking the support of Democrat Party delegates. 3:50pm- Will Robert Kennedy Jr. Endorse Trump?: Josh Dawsey and Michael Scherer of The Washington Post write: “Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held talks this month with former president Donald Trump about endorsing his campaign and taking a job in a second Trump administration, overseeing a portfolio of health and medical issues, according to four people familiar with the matter. The discussions, which began hours after the attempted assassination of Trump at a rally on July 13, did not result in an agreement amid concerns in Trump's orbit about the complications of promising a job in exchange for a political endorsement.” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/22/rfk-jr-floated-job-trump-white-house-he-weighed-endorsing-trump/

Vance spoke with Jesse Waters on Fox News. Trump said of Vance's original reluctance to embrace the “Make America Great Again” movement: “He didn't know me.” 4:10pm- 91% of Kamala's VP Staff Left Her: Haley Strack of National Review writes: “Only four of the initial 47 staffers [Vice President Kamala] Harris brought in with her in 2021 are still employed in her office, as of March 31, 2024.” You can read more here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/harriss-personnel-problem-over-90-percent-of-vps-staff-left-in-last-three-years/ 4:20pm- In a bombshell report, Alex Thompson of Axios examines why Vice President Kamala Harris is incapable of retaining her staff. Thompson writes: “Former Harris aides told Axios the high turnover is partly because of how the vice president treats her staff…Former aides often refer to it as Harris' ‘prosecuting the staff.' During the 2020 campaign, Biden aides recall watching Harris interrogate her then-chief of staff Karine Jean-Pierre to the point that it made others uncomfortable.” In another bizarre instance, Thompson documents that “Harris has been cautious and reluctant to participate in events that weren't tightly controlled, Harris and Biden aides said… In April 2022, Harris was the guest for a dinner at D.C. news mogul David Bradley's home—a salon-style event Bradley hosts with Washington journalists and newsmakers. Harris' anxiety about the dinner was such that her staff held a mock dinner beforehand, with staffers playing participants, according to two people familiar with the event. Harris aides even considered including wine in the mock prep so Harris could practice with a glass or two.” You can read the full story here: https://www.axios.com/2024/07/22/biden-kamala-harris-election-chances# 4:35pm- While speaking with the press, Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) said she is not interested in being Kamala Harris' running mate. Rich notes that no one was going to offer her the position anyway. 4:50pm- It looks like The Rich Zeoli Show will be broadcasting from the Democratic National Convention in August. Matt says he's excited to try deep dish pizza…Rich is disgusted! Is deep dish even real pizza? 5:00pm- Sen. Tommy Tuberville—United States Senator from Alabama—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the unfolding chaos in the Democrat Party as Joe Biden steps aside and Kamala Harris presumably becomes her party's nominee. Tuberville notes Harris might not even make it to the convention “when they see her popularity dive.” During her 2020 presidential run, Harris said she opposed fracking—that's unlikely to play well in Pennsylvania. Tuberville jokes that Harris may not even know what fracking is! He also weighs-in on Kimberly Cheatle finally resigning as the Director of Secret Service following the near assassination of former President Donald Trump. If Joe Biden can't run for President, should he even remain in office? Tuberville explains that although neither option is any good, he'd rather have Biden than ultra-progressive Kamala Harris. 5:30pm- In his latest piece for National Review, Dan McLaughlin documents Kamala Harris' “dangerous” preference for authoritarianism. In the past, Harris has endorsed: packing the Supreme Court, a gun ban by executive fiat, attacking media outlets who challenge pro-choice organizations, the radical Green New Deal, and the criminal prosecution of Donald Trump. You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/07/kamala-harris-is-still-a-dangerous-authoritarian/ 6:05pm- On Monday night Kamala Harris received the pledged support of a majority of delegates—presumably making her the Democrat Party's presidential nominee. According to The Washington Post's delegate tracker, 3,004 of the nearly 4,000 delegates have endorsed Harris. DNC Chairman Jamie Harrison has said that he believes the party will virtually select their nominee by August 7th—though, the process could be completed as soon as August 1st. 6:15pm- Bob Menendez to Resign from U.S. Senate: Nicholas Fandos and Tracey Tully of The New York Times write: “Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey announced on Tuesday that he would resign from Congress effective in late August, bowing to intense pressure from Democratic colleagues who had pushed him to step down after his conviction in a vast international bribery scheme or face an expulsion vote. Mr. Menendez has maintained his innocence and vowed to appeal a guilty verdict returned last week by a federal jury in Manhattan. But with his own party fast-tracking a vote to expel him, he chose to spare his party an ugly fight and avoid becoming the first senator ousted since the Civil War by quitting with months to go in his term.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/23/nyregion/senator-bob-menendez-resignation.html 6:40pm- According to reports, Kamala Harris and the DNC raised more than $100 million in campaign donations since Joe Biden dropped out of the race. 6:45pm- The sub-headline of a recent piece courtesy of The New York Times reads: “Voters eager to elect the first female president pointed to anger over a loss of abortion rights, but also acknowledged a fear that sexism would remain difficult for Ms. [Kamala] Harris to overcome.” Rich notes that the attack angle Democrats and the media will gravitate towards in the 2024 presidential race is simply calling opponents of Harris sexist or racist.

As listeners might have noticed, 2024 is a presidential election year, and already the prospect of Donald Trump returning to power is looming over the campaign and the media's coverage of it. In a second term, Trump has promised to weaponize the Justice Department to punish his enemies, deconstruct major portions of the administrative state, and mobilize the largest deportation force in US history — to cleanse the nation of immigrants who, as Trump says, "are poisoning the blood of our country." The key to achieving these goals, conservatives believe, is ensuring that this time — unlike in 2016 — Trump is surrounded by the right people: populist true-believers who are sufficiently loyal and sufficiently competent to implement his extreme agenda. "Personnel is policy" is the watchword. And think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) are busy building rival rosters of ideologically-vetted political appointees. (And pissing each other off in the process.)This episode explores how movement conservatives are refashioning the "conservative pipeline" for an anti-establishment era — through their efforts to recruit, credential, and train political professionals for a second Trump term. The question is: can these initiatives overcome the candidate's own erratic style, his weakness for sycophancy, his preference for hiring devoted courtiers over disciplined ideologues? If push came to shove, would Trump submit to the Heritage Foundation's plans for his presidential transition? Or would he resent being managed by these self-understood "adults in the room?" In other words, can the eggheads of the conservative movement clean up the mess that is MAGA? Or is that just another intellectual fantasy? After all, as we often say on Know Your Enemy: "MAGA is the mess."Sources:Sam Adler-Bell, "The Shadow War to Determine the Next Trump Administration," New York Times, Jan 10, 2024Isaac Arnsdorf, Josh Dawsey, and Devlin Barrett, "Trump and allies plot revenge, Justice Department control in a second term," Washington Post, Nov 6, 2023. Charlie Savage, Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Swan, "Sweeping Raids, Giant Camps and Mass Deportation: Inside Trump's 2025 Immigration Plans," NYTimes, Nov 11, 2023. Jonathan D.
