In a remarkable set of events, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected two of the six representatives chosen by House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy to sit on the January 6th Commission. McCarthy chose Ohio Rep, Jacketless Gym Jordan who not only voted to overturn the election AFTER the insurrection but has repeatedly made up insane shit about the FBI being responsible for the riot. While Rep Indiana Rep Jim Banks, another MAGA blowhard has spent his time asking why Pelosi didn't do a better job of protecting the capital. This is akin to putting people who believe 9/11 was an inside job on that commission. Complete and total idiocy. Well, Pelosi kicked them all in the ass and now they got nothing. Later, SiriusXM's John Fugelsang joins Mea Culpa to discuss the creepiness of Jim Jordan and why the Evangelicals still love Trump.To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy

It's through him that they'll make their case against Trump so they're ratcheting up the pressure to a fever pitch. All eyes will be on Weisselberg as they squeeze him and his family in coming weeks.

Last week saw the reemergence of Donald Trump as he pushed the Big Lie from Mar A Lago and the GOP leadership forced its members to get in line or get out of the way. Liz Cheney tried to push back but found herself in the crosshairs of Kevin McCarthy who instead of moving on from the election has made it the central theme of the GOP. Meanwhile, the SDNY has found itself with a treasure trove of dirt inside Rudy Giuliani's hard drive. Could their appointing of a so called, “Special Master,” to sort through files be a sign that they're getting ready to flip Trump's other former lawyer? Finally, MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart joins Mea Culpa to discuss the GOP's sidelining of Liz Cheney, what happened to Tim Scott and so much more.To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policyLearn more about your ad choices.

It's always great to check in with our WBR friend and colleague Sean Parnell to hear what's going on at the Pentagon during this Iran crisis.... but the real story I want him to tell is about his 2020 congressional race that turned out like Donald Trump's. How he went to bed that election night with a congratulatory call from Kevin McCarthy only to wake up to a "slim loss." Really? Bill Maher says if democrats continue catering to communists, he will absolutely vote next for a Republican for President. Who would be better as a member of the GOP? John Fetterman? Or RINO Lisa Murkowski?  

07/16 Hour 4: Ben Standig Joins The Junkies - 1:00 Cakes' Museum Theory Gets Shot Down - 15:00 Kevin McCarthy Joins The Junkies - 26:00

07/16 Full Show: Hour 1 - 1:00 Hour 2 - 43:00 Hour 3 - 1:25:00 Hour 4 - 2:08:00 The Sports Junkies highlight the top headlines surrounding the sports world. Today's guests were Danny Rouhier, Ben Standig, and Kevin McCarthy.

In January 2023, Kevin McCarthy endured five grueling days and 15 rounds of balloting to win the Speaker's gavel — the most dramatic Speaker's race in a century. John Leganski was at the center of it all. As McCarthy's Deputy Chief of Staff and the youngest floor director in House history, he watched up close as a small band of "Never Kevins" brought the People's House to a standstill. Now he's written the definitive inside account: Glory, Grief, and the Gavel. Leganski joins Newt — himself a former Speaker — for a candid conversation about the "Maybe Kevins" versus the "Never Kevins," the last-minute phone call where President Trump unleashed a private tirade, the emotional moment the gavel was finally won, and how the very coalition that delivered the speakership ultimately destroyed it nine months later.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The rest of the video turns to Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, credibly accused by Jenny Racicot of a violent 2021 sexual assault in reporting Hawk finds credible and Platner denies as categorically false. Hawk points out that Platner's two-minute response video spent only about fifteen seconds on the allegation before thanking voters, and walks through Racicot's CNN interview with Jake Tapper. A Wedgewood poll cited by Mediaite found 75% of Maine voters believe Platner should exit the race if another scandal broke. Hawk criticizes commenters on the left who dismiss Racicot, compares the response to how E. Jean Carroll was treated, and notes Ro Khanna, Ruben Gallego, Martin Heinrich, and Elizabeth Warren pulling endorsements while Kevin McCarthy fumbles the story on Fox News.

Quick recapKoop and Russ conducted their podcast "Two Grumpy Bastards" with a round-robin format of video clips and commentary, discussing political figures, current events, and social issues. They reviewed clips featuring Republican politicians like Max Miller and Brandon Gill confronting Democratic colleagues in Congress, criticized Democratic candidates including Graham Plattner's controversial nomination in Maine, discussed the Carmelo Anthony murder trial verdict, examined community demonstrations in Seattle regarding public safety, and addressed European political tensions including an attempted beheading in Ireland. The conversation covered topics ranging from congressional hearings and political morality to criminal justice, immigration issues, and educational displays in schools, with both hosts expressing frustration with what they perceive as declining standards in public discourse and political representation.SummaryVideo Format Discussion PlanningKoop and Russ discussed doing a round robin of videos instead of deep diving into one or two topics as they normally do. They briefly talked about an upcoming hockey game between teams tied at 2-2. The conversation ended with Koop mentioning technical difficulties with screen sharing and testing audio quality.Podcast Format and Video PlanningKoop and Russ discussed their podcast format and planned to do a round robin of videos with quick discussions after each one. They began with a video featuring Republican representative Max Miller responding to Rashida Tlaib's comments about US involvement in Lebanon, where Miller argued against a resolution criticizing American foreign policy and instead focused on the threat posed by Hezbollah. The conversation included some casual discussion about sports teams before transitioning to their planned video content format.Political Congress Exchanges DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed various political exchanges and moments from Congress, focusing on specific lawmakers and their controversial statements or actions. They highlighted exchanges involving Max Miller, Rashida Tlaib, and Jack Smith, as well as discussing the conduct of other members like Brandon Gill and Wayne Mullen. The conversation included analysis of specific incidents, such as subpoenas of Kevin McCarthy and concerns about social media posts by DHS, with both participants sharing their opinions on the political implications and the effectiveness of certain lawmakers.Political Discussion and Candidate CritiqueKoop and Russ discussed several political topics, including Marco Rubio's potential as a presidential candidate and his performance in a congressional hearing where he was interrupted by another representative. They criticized Democratic politicians, particularly Graham Plattner, Maine's Democratic Senate nominee, whom they described as an inappropriate candidate due to past accusations. The conversation also touched on Seattle's homeless policies and the residents' response to them, as well as the Democratic Party's nomination of Plattner despite his controversial background.Carmelo Anthony Murder Case DiscussionRuss and Koop discussed the case of Carmelo Anthony, who was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Russ emphasized that the case should not be viewed through a racial lens, stating that it was about individual responsibility and the violent actions of Anthony. They discussed the jury composition, with Russ clarifying that it was not entirely white, and addressed misconceptions about Anthony's legal representation. Russ expressed that the sentence was too lenient and advocated for harsher punishment, while both agreed that the quick jury deliberation indicated a clear verdict.Anthony Case and Public SafetyKoop and Russ discussed the Anthony case, agreeing that the defendant should have pleaded out rather than going to trial, and they debated the appropriate treatment of teenagers as adults for serious crimes. They watched a video of a community march in Seattle protesting crime and lack of enforcement, noting the peaceful nature of the demonstration compared to typical leftist protests. The discussion concluded with criticism of Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson for not attending the march and her perceived lack of priorities regarding public safety.European Tensions and Security ConcernsKoop and Russ discussed the escalating situation in Europe, particularly in Ireland, where tensions are rising due to an attempted beheading incident. They noted that the Irish public, including the left, is becoming increasingly concerned about the situation and the government's inability to protect citizens. Russ suggested that vigilantism might become more prevalent if governments continue to fail in their duties, and both agreed that cultural and immigration issues are contributing to the unrest. They also discussed the potential for further violence, especially if different communities in Northern Ireland unite against common threats.Pride Month Display ControversyKoop and Russ discussed a Pride Month display at Graham-Kapowsin High School that included vials of testosterone, which Koop criticized as inappropriate given the controlled substance status of testosterone. They noted that while woke initiatives have become more muted recently, they remain active and require continued vigilance. The conversation concluded with Koop sharing humorous clips, including a joke about British colonies and a reference to French warfare tactics.Thank you for listening and subscribing and liking the hell out of us!Politics.

DESCRIPTION Congressman Ralph Norman joins Tara for an exclusive interview on his gubernatorial campaign, promising to expose government spending, challenge entrenched political insiders, and bring the same anti-establishment fight that helped topple Kevin McCarthy to Columbia. From budget transparency to Republican infighting, today's show focused on the future of conservative leadership in South Carolina. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show featured an in-depth interview with South Carolina Congressman Ralph Norman as he made his case for governor ahead of the Republican primary. The conversation began with a look back at the congressional battle that led to the removal of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Tara praised Norman's willingness to challenge Republican leadership when he believed conservative principles were being abandoned, describing the effort as one of the most consequential acts of political courage in recent Republican history. Norman argued that South Carolina faces a similar challenge, claiming that Republican leaders campaign as conservatives but often govern differently once elected. He pledged to bring greater transparency to state government through forensic audits of agencies and a detailed accounting of how taxpayer money is spent. A major focus of the interview centered on the state's budget process. Norman criticized what he described as a lack of accountability and oversight, promising to expose spending decisions and make government finances more accessible to taxpayers. The discussion also touched on South Carolina's infrastructure challenges, education system, judicial appointments, utility costs, and insurance rates. Norman argued that despite overwhelming Republican majorities in the legislature, many longstanding problems remain unresolved. Tara questioned Norman about criticism surrounding his endorsement of Nikki Haley during the 2024 presidential primary. Norman explained that the endorsement was based on personal loyalty and longstanding friendship while emphasizing his continued support for President Trump's America First agenda. Closing the interview, Norman contrasted his record with those of his opponents, arguing that his years in Congress and involvement with the House Freedom Caucus provide voters with a proven record of conservative governance rather than campaign promises alone. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ralph Norman pledged to bring greater government transparency to South Carolina. He promised forensic audits of state agencies and spending programs. The interview revisited the effort to remove former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Norman criticized what he described as establishment politics in Columbia. Questions about infrastructure, education, utility costs, and judicial reform were discussed. Norman defended his endorsement of Nikki Haley while reaffirming support for President Trump. The gubernatorial race is shaping up as a battle over the future direction of South Carolina conservatism. QUOTE OF THE DAY "We're going to bring it to Columbia on steroids." SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS The Fight That Removed Kevin McCarthy Norman reflected on the historic effort to challenge House Republican leadership and what it taught him about political reform. Follow the Money The candidate pledged forensic audits and increased transparency for taxpayer-funded programs. Government Accountability Norman argued that South Carolina's budget process lacks sufficient public scrutiny. Nikki Haley Questions The congressman explained why he endorsed Haley during the presidential primary despite Trump's popularity. Final Pitch to Voters Norman emphasized his record, conservative credentials, and plans to reform state government. SOCIAL MEDIA POST

Add in questions about intelligence briefings, alleged foreign influence, and a looming classified file tied to Kevin McCarthy's warnings, and the story takes a deeper turn. Is this damage control—or something bigger? ⚡ Segment Breakdown 1. The Admission That Changes Everything Democrat consultant Michael Trujillo claims insiders and media knew about allegations tied to Swalwell. Politico reportedly prepared an exposé—but it never dropped. 2. Strategic Silence?

A chaotic governor's race explodes with allegations of paid polling manipulation, while a deeper national controversy unfolds over censorship, immigration policy, and cultural “cancellation.” From Nancy Mace shaking up GOP power structures to explosive claims about media narratives and migrant crime data, this episode dives headfirst into the narratives shaping America right now. Is this just politics as usual—or something far bigger? ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY Today's episode unpacks a turbulent political landscape on both the state and national level: Governor's Race Chaos: Filing closes with a crowded field, but polling data raises eyebrows. Allegations surface that candidate support may be artificially inflated through payments to polling firms, throwing credibility into question. Key Players in Focus: Figures like Nancy Mace and Alan Wilson emerge as central contenders, while scrutiny builds around polling inconsistencies tied to financial influence. Political Power Battles: Mace's past role in helping oust Kevin McCarthy is revisited, highlighting her reputation as a disruptive force willing to challenge party leadership. “Cancel Culture” & Narrative Control: A controversy in Providence involving a removed mural sparks debate over whose stories are amplified—or erased—in public discourse. Comments from David Morales intensify the discussion. Immigration & Data Transparency: Claims emerge about missing or suppressed data regarding crimes involving migrants, alongside broader criticism of federal immigration policies under Joe Biden. Big Tech & Government Influence: Allegations resurface involving payments between federal agencies and platforms like Twitter (under Jack Dorsey), raising questions about censorship and information control. Economic Fallout: Rising concerns over job competition, visa labor, and youth unemployment highlight a shifting workforce dynamic, with policy changes attributed to Donald Trump aiming to reshape hiring practices.

Explosive revelations show the FBI secretly surveilled over 1,200 Trump allies, journalists, and political figures—without evidence of crimes. From Michael Caputo's emails to Susie Wiles' lawyer conversations, “special circumstance” subpoenas allowed prohibited access files to operate undetected for years. SUMMARY In this episode, we break down a massive constitutional and political scandal: The Prohibited Access System Over 1,200 people in Trump's orbit were surveilled under secret FBI files marked “prohibited access,” designed to hide their existence. These files returned false negatives when searched in the official FBI Sentinel system, making oversight impossible. Illegal Surveillance & “Special Circumstances” Michael Caputo's emails and communications were seized just weeks after joining the Trump campaign. Susie Wiles' conversations with her attorney and her movements were monitored under the same system. “Special circumstances” were used to justify surveillance without evidence of a crime, often approved by corrupt judges. Targeting Trump Allies & Republican Leadership Journalists, campaign advisers, lawyers, congressional staff, and even Kash Patel were all surveilled. Files were hidden from oversight, including Congress and internal FBI investigators, ensuring the shadow surveillance remained secret. Even after Kevin McCarthy became Speaker in 2023, the FBI reportedly opened files on Republican leadership under this system. This episode exposes the depth of the FBI's secret surveillance apparatus and raises questions about civil liberties, political targeting, and the unchecked power of intelligence agencies. SOCIAL MEDIA POST Title: FBI Secret Surveillance: 1,200 Trump Allies Monitored Description: Prohibited access files, illegal subpoenas, and secret FBI spying—Trump allies and journalists were targeted without evidence of crimes. Message: From Michael Caputo's emails to Susie Wiles' lawyer calls, over 1,200 Trump allies were surveilled under “special circumstances” files hidden from oversight. Prohibited access files returned false negatives, shielding the FBI from Congress, journalists, and even internal investigators.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is doing an outstanding job. DHS is a massive department that handles some of the most difficult matters.  No one has done a better job on immigration than Noem, which is why the Democrats are calling for her head. Now, why are Democrats fighting so hard for every illegal alien to stay? To preserve their electoral viability, as resident migration from high-tax blue states to lower-tax red/purple states continue unabated. You're also hearing more and more Republican officials (RINO's) talking about deporting only violent criminal illegal aliens and some are even talking about granting a "pathway to citizenship" for non-violent illegal aliens. Federal law requires deportation for those who enter illegally or overstay visas. Later, pinprick measures against the Iranian regime are insufficient - the regime itself must be removed entirely, as failing to do so will burden future generations. 61% of MAGA supporters favor hitting Iran hard. Significant, decisive action—not endless negotiations—is necessary and morally right to save lives quickly. Afterward, Rep Chip Roy calls in and strongly opposes any Republican proposals to limit immigration enforcement to only illegal immigrants who commit additional crimes, arguing it would undermine the entire system, reward lawbreaking, and encourage more illegal entries. Enforcement must target both dangerous criminal aliens and non-criminal illegal entrants to secure the nation, as threats can spread quickly across states. Finally, Kevin McCarthy calls in and criticizes Democrats for threatening a government shutdown over ICE enforcement policies, calling it a sign of weak leadership driven by fear of political backlash rather than principled guidance. Democrats are holding the country hostage despite prior bipartisan funding agreements, motivated by emotional indecision and unpopularity, including references to a disliked leader afraid of voters and past book tour concerns.

All eyes are on Florida this week as its combative governor, Ron DeSantis takes on Disney for daring to push back against his disgusting “Don't Say Gay Bill.” It's just the latest in a string of maneuvers that has made DeSantis the five star general of the culture wars and the state of Florida as a laboratory for a new kind of free market authoritarian conservatism.

Another wild week in Washington with Kevin McCarthy caught on tape saying he'd tell Trump to resign in the aftermath of the insurrection only to lie about it later. Unfortunately, there's a nasty little tape with McCarthy's voice on it. How is the GOP still winning with everything that we know? The Lincoln Project's Reed Galen joins to give us the answers.
