TPM founder Josh Marshall sits down with independent media veteran and Gawker co-founder Elizabeth Spiers to take stock of the smouldering ruins we used to know as news media. They discuss how Peter Thiel's Gawker lawsuit introduced new liabilities for independent media companies, why corporate media is more likely to capitulate to Trump than independent outlets, how billionaire-funding gives right-wing media an asynchronous advantage, and why reader-supported media leads to a better media landscape. Coincidentally, Josh also explains that TPM is in the middle of its annual membership drive and would love to have your support!Get 25% off a TPM membership https://talkingpointsmemo.com/membershipsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

ICE's reign of terror in Minnesota continues, even as top Trump officials sing a softer tune after nationwide outrage over the death of Alex Pretti. The panel marches through the latest fallout from Pretti's killing, as well as the newest attempts by the DOJ to advance Trump's agenda elsewhere, from the arrest of Don Lemon to the shocking raid on a Georgia election office.

Three of the most insightful observers of American politics—Jason Kander, Mara Liasson, and Josh Marshall—join Harry to analyze a week in which President Donald Trump was knocked on his heels, and lashed out viciously in response. The panelists talk through the big questions: Will Republicans keep up the pressure for transparency about Jeffrey Epstein? Why have Trump's recent outbursts been so vile even by his standards? Were Democrats aiming to further provoke him when they warned troops against following illegal orders? And, is the weakened president already entering a lame duck period?

Genesis 12:1-9 ('I Will' - God's Blessings and a Life of Faith) - Josh Marshall by Park Community Church
SEASON 4 EPISODE 27: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Today is the dawn of Trump’s new policy: destroy America. Literally. Well, destroy part of the WHITE HOUSE – Literally. And steal $230 million from the government and pretend he’s going to give it to charity; AND give away 172 million dollars for two private jets for Kristi Noem; AND give Ukraine and eventually Europe to Putin, AND make America a one-party nation, AND get elected Democrats killed, AND destroy America. Literally. Well, ok, describing this as Trump’s new policy to destroy, steal, give away AND get elected Democrats killed - that’s not ENTIRELY fair. Because it’s not really NEW. He has long tried to stochastically encourage violence against opponents, but now key minions like Tom Emmer and Tom Homan talk about the quote “terrorist wing” of the Democratic party, and, Presto! A January 6th traitor Trump personally pardoned tries to assassinate Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Looks like cause and effect to me. Josh Marshall just invoked imagery I used in 2016 and he’s right: Trump has entered (actually RE-entered) the stage in which he is the omnipotent petulant child, Anthony, from the terrifying Twilight Zone episode “It’s A Good Life" who could destroy the world and kill people just by thinking it. Josh is right. I was right. Trump is now destroying just because it gives him something to do. And because in his psychosis it no longer matters whether he's constructing or deconstructing, it only matters that HE does it. ALSO: The Democrats can stop self-flagellating. Party identification has now swung back away from the Republicans and the seven-point margin is nearly as big as the Dems' was in 2012. So let's focus instead on taking out the trash like Graham Platner. For 17 years or so, the populist Maine Democrat somehow didn't know that was a nazi tattoo on his chest, which I suppose is possible. But when it was going to come out, instead of going right to a tattoo parlor and holding a news conference explaining and apologizing as they turned it into something else, he released a drunken video and waited three days to (supposedly) actually fix the problem. He has no judgment. None. Get out. B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Doing the right thing for the wrong reason. Bob Iger and Disney didn't walk back the Jimmy Kimmel firing because of justice and the 1st Amendment. They did it because of a boycott. The Andrew Cuomo self-destruction tour continues as he confuses the New York Jets and the New York Mets. And The Washington Post columnist who said we'd be fine whether Hillary or Trump was elected is back with more stupidity. C-Block (49:12) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: This time of year, 51 years ago, I was about to sign up to go to Boston University when a radio student there gave me the inside story of the limitations undergrads faced. He talked me out of it. I was 15 and he was 20 and his name was Howard Stern.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THE NHL IS BACK!!! Thanks for tuning in Caps fans! We're glad to be back for season 7 of The Official Caps Chirp Podcast. We're kicking this season off with a bit of a look at preseason for the Caps where they went 5-1 and we'll get into the regular season where the Caps face the Boston Bruins on Wednesday Oct. 8. The Bruins are the only team that the Caps lost to in the preseason so it should be a great matchup to kick off the 2025-2026 NHL season. We'll also be joined by Josh Marshall and Brandon Kaufman, 2 Penguins fans, who will share their, probably terrible, insight on the Caps from the outside looking in. We're pumped to see how things playout this year, thanks for tuning in! FakeWoodTwigs.com Draft Kings: https://tinyurl.com/DKTHPNPROMO Use code THPN Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmDonald Trump has crossed an important redline: He ordered his administration to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey, fired the prosecutor who told him he had no case, and installed a lackey who did as ordered. In this episode: * What distinguishes the (weak, losing) Comey indictment from past abuses of prosecutorial power?* Why Comey shouldn't try to get the charges dismissed on selective prosecution grounds, and should instead demand a speedy trial.* If Trump thinks his revenge tour was “litigated in the election, might a humiliating defeat at the Comey trial be the beginning of the DOJ's new role as tip of the spear of Trump's retribution campaign? Then, on the eve of the government shutdown, Brian and Matt look ahead to likely end games. Has the Democrats' confused posture in the standoff doomed them, or can they reorient everyone in the party to make arguments they can really commit to long-term? Will the public's presumptive sense that Republicans are to blame for government shutdowns insulate Democrats from backlash? And, as long as they're keeping the House shuttered to prevent votes on releasing the Epstein files, will Republicans be able to exploit their advantages in this fight?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Brian argues that if Democrats want a big fight over health care, there are ways to engineer one without shoving it into a fight over the annual budget. * Matt argues Hillary Clinton should have demanded here day in court during Trump 1.0 because the email scandal was bullshit.* Brendan Nyhan on the Comey prosecution precedent.* Josh Marshall on the power dynamics of the shutdown fight.
Shocking Update in Celeste Rivas Case: LAPD and D4vd's Team Break Silence! The silence around the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez is starting to break — and what's coming out isn't helping D4vd's case. In this episode, we break down the latest developments in the investigation into how Celeste ended up dead in the trunk of a Tesla registered to music artist David Anthony Burke (aka D4vd). First, Josh Marshall, D4vd's manager, has finally spoken publicly — but not through press or legal channels. Instead, he dropped a series of TikTok comment replies, denying involvement, claiming he never lived at the Hollywood Hills house, and insisting he had no knowledge of Celeste's presence. His name was on the lease, but he says he worked remotely, lived out of state, and leased the house for “administrative reasons.” Then, we get key updates from LAPD, who now confirm that someone deliberately placed Celeste's body in the trunk. The case remains open, and while no one has been charged yet, officials say they're “looking into everything.” A separate police official even used the word “homicide” on-air — though the coroner's report still lists the cause of death as pending. We also discuss new footage, including CCTV of Celeste running away, and a viral video of D4vd freezing when approached by a fan who resembled her. Add in death certificate details, forensic questions, and the growing suspicion around silence — and this story keeps unraveling. No speculation, no spin — just confirmed developments and what they mean for accountability.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmLast week, in one fell swoop, Donald Trump wiped out trillions of dollars in wealth, upended all of our trade relations, and poised the U.S. for a lengthy recession and higher prices. His big money backers are in freakout mode. He's made himself politically vulnerable in dramatic fashion, but also undermined the foundations of the American age.In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss life with (and after?) Trump's tariffs:* How the fuck did Trump's billionaire backers get this so catastrophically wrong?* Is Trump looking for an offramp, where he “negotiates” away these tariffs in exchange for symbolic victories, or are they here to stay?* How does uncertainty around that question exacerbate damage to the economy economic?Then, behind the paywall, where, if anywhere, do we go from here? Are Democrats handling the situation optimally, in both legislative and messaging contexts? Would it even matter all that much if Congress revoked presidential tariff authority, now that the whole world sees us as erratic and untrustworthy? Is there a path back to an American-led global economic order, or are we just permanently poorer?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.

If the Chinese hacked the U.S. government the way private citizen Elon has, it would be a major act of cyber warfare. And since Elon is a government contractor, he's now in a position to make policy calls that benefit his own companies and hurt his competitors—following the Russian oligarch model. We are in a completely lawless realm, and this is likely to continue until he is stopped. Meanwhile, government employees are being forced to choose between conforming or protecting the public.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmDonald Trump and Joe Biden marked the weekend after thanksgiving with two big news developments that look a lot like chess moves in a high-stakes match between the revenge-obsessed far right and the outgoing liberal establishment. First, Trump nominated Kash Patel, an aggrieved loyalist with a literal enemies list, to run the FBI. Second, Biden pardoned his son Hunter. In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:* Who is Kash Patel and why is his “nomination” to a vacancy that doesn't exist so chilling?* Does it justify a blanket pardon for Biden's son, who really did engage in illegal activity, but who's been the target of a years-long Republican harassment campaign?* Should Democrats in Congress, caught off guard by Biden's move, challenge Republicans to reform the pardon power?Then, behind the paywall, what should Democrats do about nominees like Patel? Should Biden offer pardons to his full enemies list? Is strategic silence and working the inside game really the best way to guard against the corruption of the so-called “power ministries”?
