Lanny Davis joins Brian Nichols to reveal why as Bill Clinton's lawyer, he now agrees with libertarians on government surveillance and why America's privacy crisis is happening right now.This isn't a gotcha. Davis was Special Counsel to President Clinton, legal advisor to Michael Cohen, and the only Democrat George W. Bush put on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board - the panel that watched the government's surveillance programs from the inside. The invitation came from Karl Rove himself.So what makes a lifelong Democrat go straight to George Orwell's 1984? Flock cameras. License plate readers. Every car in America logged and shared between departments. Davis looked at all of it and said the quiet part out loud... "the bigger government is, the more I feel shared wisdom with libertarians."His new book, Finding the Third Way, tackles the civility crisis head-on. He and Joe Lieberman once asked 535 members of Congress and 50 governors to sign a civility pledge - three signed. Davis names his own party's labeling problem, pulls a Harry Truman warning from 1948, and makes the case that Democrats and libertarians agree on more than either side admits.And then Brian does the thing we do... the scorecard.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 458 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 39)A Bonus Show: A Couple of Stories by Bob DoleAs our journey through the life and career of Bob Dole continues, we take a brief detour from the main narrative to share a collection of fascinating stories that simply deserved to be heard.Over the course of researching this series, we encountered a number of memorable moments from Dole's oral history interviews that, while not essential to the chronological story, offered unique insights into his experiences, personality, and remarkable career. Rather than leave them on the cutting room floor, we've gathered them together for this special bonus episode.We begin with reflections on Dole's life and legacy from Karl Rove, recorded during FOX News coverage of Dole's funeral, providing context for how his colleagues and admirers remembered him after his passing.From there, Dole takes center stage, telling stories in his own words, including:• His meeting with Saddam Hussein and the impressions he took away from the encounter • His experiences meeting Daniel Ortega during a turbulent period in Central American politics • A fascinating story involving Slobodan Milošević during the conflicts that reshaped the Balkans • His work with Daniel Patrick Moynihan in the effort to preserve and strengthen Social SecurityThese stories highlight a side of Bob Dole that often gets overlooked — the diplomat, the negotiator, the observer of world events, and the Senate dealmaker who built relationships across party lines and around the globe.Some are humorous.Some are revealing.And all of them provide a deeper appreciation for a man whose public career spanned some of the most consequential decades of the twentieth century.Not every story fits neatly into history's timeline.But sometimes the stories left over are among the most interesting of all.

DESCRIPTION Tara breaks down what she calls the final destruction of the Bush-era globalist machine after Ken Paxton's landslide victory over John Cornyn in Texas. From open borders and NGO investigations to corporate donor influence and GOP establishment politics, Tara says the movement that reshaped Republican politics for decades was finally crushed where it began. PODCAST SUMMARY On today's AMPERWAVE DAILY, Tara reacts to Ken Paxton's overwhelming primary victory over Senator John Cornyn, describing it as the political annihilation of the Bush-era globalist movement inside the Republican Party. Tara argues the race was never simply about one Senate seat, but about the survival of a political machine built around open borders, corporate donor influence, and internationalist policies dating back to George W. Bush's time as governor of Texas. According to Tara, Texas became the birthplace of modern Republican globalism when border enforcement policies changed under the Bush administration, creating what she describes as a pathway for mass illegal immigration. The episode details the enormous financial effort mounted against Paxton, with establishment GOP donors reportedly spending over $100 million to protect Cornyn and preserve the remaining influence of the Bush political network. Tara says Paxton became the establishment's biggest threat after targeting NGOs accused of facilitating illegal immigration and voter registration operations inside Texas. The show also revisits Paxton's impeachment battle, investigations involving the Biden DOJ, and tensions between Donald Trump, Senate Republicans, and the SAVE Act. Tara praises Paxton's political strategy, arguing he exposed establishment resistance to voter integrity reforms and forced national Republicans into a difficult position. Attention then turns to South Carolina, where Tara claims remnants of the Bush political machine still dominate Republican politics through establishment leadership, open primaries, and donor influence. Lindsey Graham, Henry McMaster, and other establishment Republicans are accused of preserving the same political structure that voters rejected in Texas. The episode closes with a warning that establishment Republicans are attempting to regroup nationally, but Tara argues the Texas result may signal the irreversible collapse of Bush-era globalism inside the GOP. KEY TOPICS Ken Paxton vs. John Cornyn Bush machine collapse Republican globalism debate Open borders controversy SAVE Act and voter ID NGO investigations in Texas GOP establishment donors Karl Rove and Bush-era politics South Carolina Republican politics Lindsey Graham criticism Henry McMaster backlash Donald Trump and Senate Republicans SEGMENTS Segment 1: “Absolute Annihilation in Texas” Tara reacts to Ken Paxton's massive victory and says the Bush political machine suffered a historic defeat. Segment 2: How Globalism Started in Texas A breakdown of the Bush-era border policies and internationalist politics Tara says transformed the Republican Party. Segment 3: Paxton vs. The Establishment Discussion centers on impeachment efforts, DOJ investigations, and establishment attempts to politically destroy Paxton. Segment 4: The SAVE Act & Senate Resistance Tara explains why Paxton's challenge to Senate Republicans over election integrity became a defining issue in the race. Segment 5: South Carolina: The Last Bush Stronghold Tara argues establishment Republican influence remains deeply entrenched in South Carolina politics.

DESCRIPTION Tara breaks down the political earthquake in Texas after Ken Paxton's landslide victory over John Cornyn — a race she says symbolized the final collapse of the Bush-era globalist machine inside the Republican Party. From open borders and the SAVE Act to Lindsey Graham, Karl Rove, and South Carolina's GOP establishment, Tara argues conservatives are finally taking their party back. PODCAST SUMMARY On today's AMPERWAVE DAILY, Tara celebrates what she describes as the political death of the Bush machine after Ken Paxton delivered a devastating defeat to Senator John Cornyn in Texas. Tara argues the race was never just about one Senate seat, but about whether the Bush-era globalist wing of the Republican Party could survive. The episode details the massive financial effort behind Cornyn's campaign, with establishment Republican donors and leadership PACs reportedly pouring over $100 million into the race to stop Paxton. Tara says the result represents a full-scale rejection of open-border policies, globalist trade agreements, and establishment Republican compromises with Democrats. Tara revisits the Bush political legacy in Texas, arguing that George W. Bush's governorship helped normalize open-border policies and international governance ideas that later evolved into broader globalist movements inside both parties. She credits Donald Trump with disrupting that agenda and says Paxton's victory marks the final collapse of the Bush political infrastructure in Texas. The show also dives into the SAVE Act battle, with Tara praising Paxton for challenging Senate Republicans to pass voter integrity legislation in exchange for ending his campaign. Tara argues Republican voters in Texas were outraged by Senate resistance to election reform and believes the issue became a turning point in the race. Attention then shifts to South Carolina, where Tara claims remnants of the Bush political network still dominate Republican politics through open primaries and establishment leadership. Lindsey Graham, Henry McMaster, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, and other GOP figures are accused of protecting establishment interests while blocking conservative reforms. The episode closes with Tara arguing that establishment Republican influence is rapidly collapsing nationwide, though South Carolina remains one of the final strongholds of what she calls the “Bush cabal.” KEY TOPICS Ken Paxton vs. John Cornyn Bush machine collapse Republican globalism debate SAVE Act controversy Election integrity politics Karl Rove and GOP establishment Donald Trump influence South Carolina Republican politics Lindsey Graham criticism Open primaries debate Texas political realignment GOP donor influence SEGMENTS Segment 1: “Texas Is Free” Tara reacts to Ken Paxton's overwhelming victory and calls it the end of the Bush political machine. Segment 2: The $100 Million Battle Discussion centers on establishment Republican donors and leadership PACs spending heavily to protect John Cornyn. Segment 3: The SAVE Act Showdown Tara explains why Paxton's push for election integrity legislation became a rallying point for conservative voters. Segment 4: South Carolina: The Last Bush Stronghold? Tara argues the Bush-era Republican network still controls South Carolina politics through open primaries and establishment alliances. Segment 5: Globalism's Final Collapse? The show closes with a broader discussion about the future of the Republican Party after the decline of establishment globalist influence.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION Ken Paxton's landslide victory over John Cornyn is being called the final blow to the Bush-era globalist machine inside the GOP. Tara breaks down the political earthquake in Texas, the collapse of the establishment donor network, and why the fight is now shifting directly to South Carolina. Plus: explosive allegations involving Democrat activist groups, Chinese Communist Party influence campaigns, AI data center sabotage, and the growing battle over election integrity and open primaries. FULL SHOW SUMMARY A political earthquake rocked Texas as Ken Paxton delivered a crushing defeat to longtime establishment Republican John Cornyn despite more than $100 million being poured into the race by GOP donor networks aligned with the Bush-era political machine. Tara argues this wasn't simply a primary loss — it was the symbolic collapse of the globalist wing of the Republican Party that originated in Texas during the Bush governorship years. The show traces the roots of modern globalism, open-border politics, and international trade governance back to the Bush family's influence in Texas politics. Tara claims Paxton became the biggest threat to that political infrastructure after aggressively targeting NGOs accused of facilitating illegal immigration and voter registration efforts in Texas. The discussion expands into South Carolina politics, where Tara argues the same establishment political network still dominates through figures like Lindsey Graham, Henry McMaster, and legislative leadership. The show heavily criticizes South Carolina Republicans who opposed redistricting changes and calls for conservative primary challenges. The episode also dives into claims of coordination between Democrat-aligned activist groups and entities connected to the Chinese Communist Party. Tara highlights reports involving opposition campaigns against AI data centers and references commentary from investor Kevin O'Leary regarding alleged online influence operations tied to Chinese interests and progressive activist organizations. Additional segments cover: The SAVE Act and election integrity battles Open primaries and Republican establishment politics Allegations surrounding activist funding networks Communist rhetoric in New York housing policy debates The future of the Republican Party after the Texas political shift KEY TALKING POINTS Ken Paxton defeats John Cornyn in a political landslide GOP establishment reportedly spent over $100 million defending Cornyn Tara argues the “Bush machine” lost its remaining grip on Texas Debate over globalism, immigration, and GOP identity South Carolina Republican infighting intensifies Criticism of open primaries and establishment conservatives Discussion of SAVE Act voter ID legislation Allegations involving Democrat activist networks and CCP influence AI infrastructure and data center political battles Calls for major conservative primary challenges in South Carolina SEO KEYWORDS Ken Paxton, John Cornyn, Texas GOP, Bush machine, globalism, Lindsey Graham, South Carolina politics, SAVE Act, voter ID, Donald Trump, Republican primary, Karl Rove, CCP influence, Kevin O'Leary, Democrat Party, Texas election, open borders, MAGA movement, GOP establishment, election integrity

DESCRIPTION Tara connects the fall of the Bush political machine in Texas to what she says is a larger battle over globalism, election power, and the future of America. From Ken Paxton's stunning victory to South Carolina GOP infighting, Chinese Communist Party influence allegations, and radical property seizure proposals in New York, Tara says conservatives are witnessing a political realignment unlike anything in modern history. PODCAST SUMMARY On today's AMPERWAVE DAILY, Tara celebrates what she calls the collapse of the Bush political machine after Ken Paxton's dominant victory over John Cornyn in Texas. Tara traces the roots of Republican globalism back to George W. Bush's governorship in Texas, arguing that policies supporting open borders and international governance reshaped the Republican establishment for decades. The show revisits the Bush family's “New World Order” ideology, efforts to move immigration authority to multinational bodies, and the rise of Karl Rove's political fundraising network. Tara argues the Bush-era political structure is finally breaking apart after years of conservative backlash. Attention then turns to South Carolina, where Tara blasts Republican leadership for failing to advance election and district reform efforts supported by Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson. Tara sharply criticizes lawmakers she says slow-walked reform efforts until early voting began, especially targeting Republican Representative Richard Cash despite acknowledging his historically conservative voting record. The episode escalates into a broader warning about what Tara describes as growing influence from the Chinese Communist Party inside American politics. She discusses allegations involving activist organizations, data center opposition campaigns, New York City politics, and nonprofit networks tied to Democrat fundraising operations. Tara also sounds the alarm over proposals in New York City involving housing regulation and property transfers, arguing that progressive policies are evolving into outright collectivism and government-controlled redistribution of property. The show closes with a warning that conservatives are now engaged in a fight over political power, civil liberties, and the direction of the country itself. KEY TOPICS Ken Paxton vs. John Cornyn Collapse of the Bush political machine Republican globalism debate Open borders controversy South Carolina GOP infighting Richard Cash backlash Henry McMaster criticism Chinese Communist Party influence concerns New York housing controversy Election integrity debate Karl Rove and GOP establishment politics Donald Trump-backed election reforms SEGMENTS Segment 1: “The Bush Machine Is DEAD” Tara celebrates Ken Paxton's Texas victory as the symbolic collapse of the Bush-era Republican establishment. Segment 2: Globalism Started In Texas? A deep dive into the origins of Republican globalism, open border policies, and international governance efforts tied to the Bush family. Segment 3: South Carolina Republicans Under Fire Tara criticizes GOP lawmakers and Governor Henry McMaster for failing to move election reform efforts before voting began. Segment 4: CCP Influence & Democrat Activist Networks Discussion shifts to claims of Chinese Communist Party influence inside Democrat political organizations and activist fundraising networks. Segment 5: “They're Taking Property In New York” Tara warns progressive housing policies in New York City could lead to government-controlled property transfers and expanded collectivist policies.

South Carolina's redistricting battle turns into an all-out Republican civil war as Trump allies pressure Governor Henry McMaster, Lindsey Graham's machine fights to keep control, and accusations fly over Democrat influence inside GOP primaries. Tara breaks down the backroom deals, the Bush-era donor network, and why this fight could reshape South Carolina politics for years to come. PODCAST SUMMARY South Carolina politics erupted into chaos as Governor Henry McMaster finally called a special legislative session on congressional redistricting after mounting pressure from President Donald Trump's orbit. Tara exposes what she describes as a behind-the-scenes power struggle between Trump-aligned conservatives and the entrenched Lindsey Graham political machine tied to Bush-era Republican donor networks. The episode dives deep into allegations that establishment Republicans in South Carolina have relied on Democrat crossover voting, open primaries, and massive out-of-state donor money to maintain control. Tara argues that the fight over Jim Clyburn's congressional district is only part of a much larger battle for the future of the Republican Party in South Carolina. The discussion also centers on Attorney General candidate David Pascoe, who Tara claims has Democrat ties, along with speculation surrounding a possible Trump endorsement of Pam Evette. Tara details how national Republican operatives, Laura Loomer, Nancy Mace, and Trump insiders are all reportedly involved in high-stakes negotiations over maps, endorsements, and political control. The show closes with warnings that South Carolina could follow the same political transformation seen in states like Colorado if Republican primaries and district strategies remain unchanged.

A massive political battle is erupting inside South Carolina's Republican establishment as Trump allies clash with the Lindsey Graham-McMaster machine over redistricting, immigration, and control of the GOP. Tara breaks down the Laura Loomer reports, the fight over Pam Evette and David Pascoe, and why this could become one of the most important Republican power struggles in the country. PODCAST SUMMARY South Carolina has become the center of a fierce political war between Donald Trump's orbit and the entrenched Republican establishment tied to Lindsey Graham and Bush-era donor networks. Tara explains how open Republican primaries, establishment fundraising, and political alliances allegedly allowed longtime power brokers to maintain control of the state despite its conservative voter base. The episode dives into accusations that establishment Republicans are resisting a pro-Republican redistricting effort that could eliminate Democrat Congressman Jim Clyburn's district. Tara details how Governor Henry McMaster, Senate leadership, and GOP insiders are allegedly using the redistricting fight as leverage against Trump while pushing for support of statewide candidates like Pam Evette and Attorney General candidate David Pascoe. The broadcast also highlights Laura Loomer's reporting claiming Trump's team was preparing to expose Pascoe's past support for Joe Biden before establishment consultants intervened. Tara plays audio of Pascoe praising Biden and discusses claims that establishment operatives are trying to keep Trump out of the race. The conversation expands into broader concerns over immigration policy, open borders, establishment Republican politics, and fears that South Carolina could follow the political trajectory of states like Colorado if current trends continue.

This week on We Saw the Devil, Robin tears through the most chaotic news cycle of the second Trump administration so far. Donald Trump told a White House crowd he'll be in office "eight or nine years from now," and they applauded. Politico reports the President personally offered Senator John Fetterman a "financial windfall" to switch parties (usually a bag of cash), on the record, while a sitting US senator "absorbed the suggestion." Trump publicly accused Pope Leo XIV of "endangering Catholics" with his pro-peace stance on the Iran war, sending Marco Rubio to Rome on damage control. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America president Marjorie Dannenfelser told the Wall Street Journal flat out: "Trump is the problem. The president is the problem."Robin breaks down Operation Epic Fury, Project Freedom, and the Strait of Hormuz standoff Pete Hegseth insists is "not a ceasefire violation" while Iran sinks ships and the UAE shoots down Iranian missiles. The Senate's $1 billion taxpayer giveaway for Trump's East Wing ballroom, the Supreme Court's gutting of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais, RFK Jr.'s campaign to "deprescribe" antidepressants, the closure of the ICE Detention Ombudsman office, the eight Republican AGs arguing in federal court that Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is unconstitutional, and the hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship in the Atlantic that nobody at HHS is equipped to track.Pour something strong.
