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. 4:05pm- Director of Public Prosecutions of England and Wales Stephen Parkinson explained that the United Kingdom will criminally punish citizens that repost messages that the government deems “hateful.” He also explained that he will appropriate “dedicated police officers” to monitor social media. 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.

National Political Reporter at NBC News, Henry Gomez, and The Washington Post's Josh Dawsey join the ToddCast to discuss President Trump's endorsement gambles and Bidenism ahead of the midterm elections.

Josh Dawsey, a political enterprise and investigations reporter for The Washington Post, discusses new reporting questioning Donald Trump's adherence to the Presidential Records Act, which requires the preservation of written communications related to a president's official duties, after the former president was found ripping up documents "both sensitive and mundane" during his time in office. →‘He never stopped ripping things up': Inside Trump's relentless document destruction habits

Former US President Donald Trump had a lifelong habit of ripping up papers he was done with and throwing them on the floor, or in the rubbish, or stuffing them in his pockets. By law, US presidents are required to hand over any papers they touched to the National Archives at the end of their service. Trump has come under scrutiny because many of his papers were torn up and pieced together with tape, and archivists are not sure what he left out. Host Steve Clemons speaks with Washington Post reporter Josh Dawsey, lawyer Anne Weismann, and government professor David Barker.
