Donald Trump proudly proclaimed on Monday that he had worked out a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran, and said that he believes it will last "forever." Forever is never as long as we'd like it to be, and the conflict almost immediately erupted in missile fire. Trump was furious that he was exposed as a bad negotiator, and in a profanity-laden rant to reporters on Tuesday morning, he let the world know that he's losing his mind. According to a new report, military officials were so worried that Donald Trump was going to run his mouth and screw up their bombing of Iran that they kept some of the plans from him in order to avoid him leaking anything. Their concerns proved to be accurate, as Trump's statements to the media and claims on Truth Social gave Iran enough time to prepare for the strikes, rendering them completely ineffective. Donald Trump's lofty deportation goals, along with his decision to put cosplay Kristi Noem in charge of the Department of Homeland Security, have caused the agency to basically spend their yearly budget in a matter of months, leaving them bankrupt. ICE is now running on fumes as they travel the country and abduct people off the streets - and their lack of funds may not be such a bad thing. A Trump supporter in South Florida is whining like a baby after his roofing company was raided by ICE after the agency had been tipped off that the man was employing undocumented migrants. ICE took 5 people into custody, and the man who voted for this is now complaining that he might not be able to replace those workers and he doesn't know how he can complete jobs without them.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Recorded half a day before the US officially struck Iran, we vented, cleansed, and purged about the last week, which was jam-packed with escalations between American's gun in the shape of a genocidal illegal settler colonial state and Iran, including all of the absurd beyond all parody and satire levels of ulcer-forming propaganda and pseudo-debate and commentary surrounding this. Before and after that we try to keep things a little lighter and discuss how the universe is cruel because Kristi Noem still roams this Earth, men would rather electrically shock themselves that listen to their own unmediated thoughts, The Daily Wire shows us how to avoid feeling glum about people celebrating the end of chattel slavery, and how Trump will bulldoze sacred land to erect monuments to Christopher Colombus, Alex Trebek and Andrew Jackson.Recorded on Saturday, June 21st, 2025 around 11.00 AM Korea Standard TimeCommiserate on Discord: discord.gg/aDf4Yv9PrYSupport: patreon / buzzsproutNever Forget: standwithdanielhale.orgGenral RecommendationsJosh's Recommendation: Wholesome video content that creates, nourishes,  puts things out into the world, rather than only negating them, i.e.Sand SculptureWoodworkingBushCraftTim's Recommendation: Brian E Morton  Further Reading, Viewing, ListeningShow notes + Full list of links, sources, etcMore From Timothy Robert BuechnerPodcast: Q&T ARE / violentpeople.co Tweets: @ROHDUTCHLocationless Locationsheatdeathpod.comEvery show-related link is corralled and available here.Twitter: @heatdeathpodPlease send all Letters of Derision, Indifference, Inquiry, Mild Elation, et cetera to: heatdeathodtheuniversepodcast@gmailSend us a textSupport the show

SEASON 3 EPISODE 139: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: So we're going to do that whole Iraq crap again. Only swapping out the last letter. "Iran" instead of "Iraq." Because nobody remembers Bush and people think Trump is somehow anti-war, when he's doing all this because of his desperate FOMO that there is something somewhere on Fox News that he is not being given personal credit for. Only he's skipping the whole phony terrorism-9/11-pancake uranium-manufactured evidence dance and just saying "we're doing it to save Israel" even though the evangelicals who WANT to "save" Israel like Mike Huckabee really want just to make sure nobody but them destroys Israel, since the end of their prophecy is that when there are no Jews anywhere but Israel, there'll be a rapture, and all the Jews will convert or, you know, bye-bye. It's complete delusional snake-handling level religion. And as for the US military, the purpose of war with Iran would be the same as was the purpose of war with Iraq: to HAVE a war in which you can DESTROY B-2 Stealth Bombers and thus increase the Pentagon budget. As Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok would say: "Blowed 'em up good. Blowed 'em real good!" PLUS: Governor Hochul of New York uses the mot juste about what appears to have been a set-up of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander. ICE swings back towards seizing the people who keep the red states from starving. And those Trump American Phones are made in China. B-Block (32:50) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: CNN/MSNBC screw up the ratio of ICE protest coverage to No Kings protest coverage; Stephen Miller runs Trump but Katie Miller runs Stephen Miller; Karoline Leavitt inexplicably posts a photo of Trump wearing a dunce cap. C-Block (43:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: This week was the 25th anniversary of the day my mother became famous, and loved every moment of it, when she got hit in the face by a baseball thrown by the second baseman of the Yankees - while I was doing the highlights of that game on Fox's national game of the week telecast.

Hi. Today we're looking at U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency that Donald Trump is using to do his Mass Deportations Now. We look at where they came from, why they're allowed to wear masks, and the movement to stop them from taking over American cities. https://ground.news/SMN to compare coverage and see through biased coverage.

Victor Davis Hanson: The ‘Donald Trump is Evil' Routine Isn't Going to Cut It Anymore   We're living in chaotic times:   Theater-wide war in the Middle East, mass “No King” protests in the United States, and a hysterical reaction to President Trump's deportation efforts.   Out of all the strife, Trump's opponents offer more “incoherent chaos and nihilism” than actual concrete solutions, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”   “So, we're looking for positive suggestions from the opposition party. All we hear about Iran is that Donald Trump wants to start a theater-wide world war. This is what we're hearing from Democratic senators. No American president has said, “I am willing to negotiate,” more than Donald Trump with the theocracy.   “Then we had our own senator here in California, Alex Padilla. He deliberately did not wear his identification. In fact, nobody knows him. I don't know—if I saw Alex Padilla on television, I wouldn't know he was our senator. He's never done anything. But nevertheless, he had no identification. He heard that Kristi Noem, secretary of homeland security, was going to have a press conference. He barges in. He disrupts it. He tries to make a scene. And what happens? The Secret Service doesn't know who he is either, so they restrain him. And then he becomes a folk hero with his street performance."

As the head of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem has made herself the official face of the Trump administration's military crackdowns on protesters in Los Angeles, raids in majority-Democratic cities, and the deportations of student activists. How has she been able to consolidate so much power so quickly?

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, Carl Cannon and RCP White House Correspondent Phil Wegmann discuss Donald Trump's decision-making process on Iran, and what the recent showdown between Tucker Carlson and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) says about the MAGA movement's split on how far to go to deny Tehran a nuclear weapon. They also talk about the arrest of NY City mayoral candidate Brad Lander, the latest Democrat to be handcuffed during a protest. Plus, Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) delivers a tearful description of his detainment by the Secret Service after he disrupted Kristi Noem's press conference. Next, Tom talks to Ej Dickson, senior writer at New York magazine, about her recent article covering The Young Women's Leadership Summit in Dallas, TX, and what factors explain the recent rise in support for MAGA among women aged 18-29. And finally, RCP contributor Charlie Stone talks to Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) about the “No Kings” demonstrations, Iran, and what happens next for Abrego Garcia.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Democrats and the media are at it again, supporting violent riots, arson, and attacks on law enforcement in California, while labeling President Trump as authoritarian. A coalition of illegal aliens, Islamists, and Marxists are burning American flags, engaging in violence, and demanding to stay in America while causing this chaos. No, Mark did not lobby President Trump on Iran policy, despite what the fake news is saying. The President knows Mark's stance on Iran, which aligns with Trump and MAGA – prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Outlets like Politico are spreading false narratives and propaganda, particularly from isolationists and Iranian sympathizers. Mark is not leading a lobbying campaign of "GOP hawks." Iran, and isolationist ideologies are major threats. DNI Tulsi Gabbard's stance on nuclear war and her revisionism about the U.S. defeating Imperial Japan under Harry Truman are grotesque. Gabbard, the Quincy Institute, and people like Chatsworth Qatarlson (Tucker Carlson) are emboldening Iran's regime by signaling American weakness. Sen Alex Padilla barging into a Kristi Noem press conference shows a pattern of violent, lawless behavior by Democrats. Democrats reflect their violent base and their violent base represents Democrats. Padilla could have coordinated with Noem instead of causing this show. The Democrat Party is a Marxist party that represents Islamists, antisemites, Stalinists, and criminals. They've given up on the American citizens. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Washington Roundtable discusses President Trump's deployment of uniformed troops in Los Angeles, the Administration's attempt to blur the distinction between the military and law enforcement, and this weekend's parade in D.C. to celebrate the Army's two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary, which also happens to be the President's seventy-ninth birthday. Plus, the handcuffing of California Senator Alex Padilla at a press conference given by Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security. “To suddenly see this guy being thrown around on the ground—it really brought back all of the feelings I've had about living in places like Egypt and in China,” says the staff writer Evan Osnos. “When the highest office-holders in the land start to get brutalized, that just tells you that really anybody out there is being treated in much harsher ways.” This week's reading: “Donald Trump's Dictator Cosplay,” by Susan B. Glasser “Donald Trump Enters His World Cup Era,” by Jon Allsop “Looking for the National Guard in Los Angeles,” by Emily Witt “Immigration Protests Threaten to Boil Over in Los Angeles,” by E.

Julie and Simon join John to unpack the ICE raids in L.A.—why they're not just an immigration issue but an Indigenous one. They dig into the disturbing forced removal of Senator Alex Padilla from a Kristi Noem event and what it says about power, race, and who gets silenced. They also break down the White House's budget cuts to Tribal colleges, while the Yurok Tribe makes history reclaiming over 47,000 acres of stolen land. Plus, Julie shares the story behind her latest Substack essay and her online run-in with “Three Grumpy Bastards.” Spoiler: it's a classic case of deflection when Indigenous folks speak hard truths.

Federal agents tackle and handcuff Senator Alex Padilla after he shouts a question at Kristi Noem at a public press conference. Trump continues to politicize the military, attacking his political enemies in a speech to troops at Fort Bragg and preparing for his North Korea-style birthday party. New polling shows that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is wildly unpopular—and increasingly vulnerable to Democratic attacks. Favreau and Nicolle Wallace, host of MSNBC's Deadline: White House and the new podcast series The Best People, discuss the latest from occupied LA, check in on the short-lived Trump-Elon feud, and try not to panic over RFK Jr.'s recent firings at the CDC. Then Lovett sits down with Zohran Mamdani to discuss his surging campaign for mayor of New York City.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Sen Alex Padilla barging into a Kristi Noem press conference shows a pattern of violent, lawless behavior by Democrats. Democrats reflect their violent base and their violent base represents Democrats. Padilla could have coordinated with Noem instead of causing this show. The Democrat Party ​is ​a ​Marxist ​party ​that ​represents ​Islamists, antisemites, ​Stalinists, and ​criminals. ​ ​They've ​given ​up ​on ​the ​American ​citizens. Also, Representatives Elise Stefanik, Jim Jordan, Byron Donalds, and Nick Langworthy shined at a hearing on sanctuary states. They held Governors Kathy Hochul, JB Pritzker and Tim Walz to account. Later, a federal judge in San Francisco expressed skepticism about the constitutionality of President Trump's order to deploy National Guard troops to Los Angeles to quell anti-ICE riots. The president has clear authority to federalize and deploy the National Guard, supported by statutes and precedent.  Afterward, Trump's stance is clear: Iran must never get nuclear weapons. His 77 million voters heard him loud and clear—not the so-called “MAGA leaders” pushing isolationism. That's not Trump; it's Koch, Soros, and Rand Paul's world, not his. He's Reagan—peace through strength, not Bernie Sanders or Noam Chomsky. The isolationists dodge Iran's threats, deny their nuclear ambitions, and blame Israel while ignoring the assassination attempt on Trump himself. Where's their plan? Let Iran aim nukes at us? Blackmail our allies? They've got no answers, just tired Marxist rehashes and attacks on our history. If Trump acts to protect us, support him, our military, and, yes, Israel. Don't smear him as abandoning MAGA—he's keeping his promise. In addition, On Power explains that in his 1792 essay, James Madison explores the concept of property rights, expanding the term beyond mere physical possessions to include personal rights and freedoms. Property encompasses everything a person values and has a right to, such as opinions, religious beliefs, personal safety, liberty, and the free use of their faculties. Madison argues that a just government must protect all forms of property—both tangible and intangible—impartially.  Finally, in breaking news the Israeli Air Force has launched strikes on Iran, with explosions reported in Tehran. This was inevitable, Iran was never going to give up its nukes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Saturday, Trump would like nothing more than images from Los Angeles of tear gas and balaclava-clad anarchists throwing bottles at Marines to complement video of himself in the stands at his military parade, saluting the troops amid a field of flags. That's part of the reason why he chose LA to federalize the Guard—home to numerous adversaries who willingly take his bait. And while tanks are going to roll through DC, wrecking its streets for the big birthday boy, Israel is going after Iran like it went after Hezbollah. Meanwhile, Kristi Noem handled the Padilla incident like a little fascist, and it only just occurred to Trump how the deportations will affect farms and hotels. Plus, a "Les Miz" correction, a 'Godfather' goof, and fighting words over The Beach Boys v. Lou Reed.

Join Jim and Greg for Friday's 3 Martini Lunch as they assess Israel's bold strikes on Iran's nuclear program and how President Trump and the U.S. are navigating this conflict. They also weigh in on the controversy surrounding California Sen. Alex Padilla being handcuffed after interrupting a Homeland Security press conference in Los Angeles.First, they lay out what we know about Israel's attacks against Iranian nuclear sites, air defenses, and top military personnel. Jim points out that every president since George W. Bush has stated Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and the Israelis clearly believe they could not wait any longer. They also marvel at the depths which the Mossad infiltrated Iran to help carry out the attacks.Next, they examine the U.S. response to the strikes. While initial American statements distanced the U.S. from involvement, President Trump voiced strong support for Israel and warned Iran to return to nuclear negotiations. However, Iran now claims it is abandoning those talks altogether.Finally, they break down the confrontation between DHS Sec. Kristi Noem and California Sen. Alex Padilla. Sen. Padilla interrupted Noem to shout questions. It was only after Secret Service and FBI began restraining him that Padilla identified himself as a U.S. senator. He was eventually handcuffed but quickly released when his identity was confirmed. Jim and Greg agree that Padilla's approach shows he wanted to create a spectacle. Jim also marvels that no one - even in LA - seemed to know what Sen. Padilla looks like.Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out with Betterhelp.

John's monologue focuses on Sen. Alex Padilla who was forcibly removed and handcuffed at a press event held by DHS Secretary and unfortunate hat-wearer, Kristi Noem. He also discusses Trump's speech at Fort Bragg where he carefully selected good looking Republican officers to be in the audience cheering and jeering and obeying all his commands. Then, democratic strategist Ameshia Cross returns to speak about Israel striking Iran's nuclear sites and killing some top military officers. Also Trump's big, costly birthday parade. Next, democratic strategist Max Burns is back to chat about the latest protests against ICE which have spread to nearly 20 other US cities, leading to more arrests and escalating tension. And finally, listeners call in to talk about John's Substack and this weekend's NO KINGS protests.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Aaron McIntire reports Israel's unilateral strikes on Iran's nuclear missile sites, military headquarters, and officials, escalating tensions without public U.S. backing, despite President Trump's push for a diplomatic nuclear deal. Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarifies the U.S. is not involved but was informed by Israel, emphasizing protection of American forces. McIntire warns this could dwarf the Israel-Hamas conflict. Trump has dueling messages on immigration, but says he's still vowing the largest mass deportation in history, protecting ICE and Border Patrol. Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) is tackled by Secret Service at a DHS press conference in Los Angeles after lunging at the podium to question Secretary Kristi Noem, later meeting to clarify the incident. The House narrowly passes Trump's $9.4 billion DOGE cuts, slashing foreign aid and public broadcasting funds. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shuts down Rep. Sarah Jacobs' (D-CA) culture war jab, citing mental health concerns with gender dysphoria in military readiness. McIntire fields listener questions on Los Angeles riots as law enforcement, congressional grandstanding, and Truth Social's role as Trump's megaphone.    Israel Iran strikes, nuclear sites, Trump administration, Marco Rubio, immigration policy, mass deportation, Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem, DOGE cuts, Pete Hegseth, gender dysphoria, Los Angeles riots, Truth Social, Josh Hawley, minimum wage    

NOTE:  The shocking news of Senator Alex Padilla being forcibly removed and handcuffed at a Kristi Noem press conference simply for trying to ask questions as an elected official?  We cover that in the news round-up. In this week's episode, we take a brief break from documenting Republican authoritarianism to explore the 1948 film noir masterpiece "The Big Clock," but quickly return to the fascist dumpster fire by introducing you to Bo Loudon, an 18-year-old MAGA influencer who represents the toxic roots of today's Republican party through his grifter family's Mar-a-Lago connections and reality TV fame. We also cover the latest authoritarian nightmares, plus we celebrate the few voices of truth still speaking out against this madness.Link for this episode:  Driftglass (and Digby) on the BradCast with Brad Friedman and Desi Doyen.  https://bradblog.com/?p=15413 Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

SEASON 3 EPISODE 136: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Gavin Newsom has reached his "EFF IT" moment - and it might prove to be the moment we began to save the democracy. If you MISSED Newsom’s speech (and trust me, I did, its only failure was its rollout) I am going to play the whole thing at the end of the first segment because it was that good. Eight minutes of escalating but suppressed righteous indignation bordering on rage – eight minutes building towards Eff-It - of which I think I am still the Official Exclusive East Coast Distributor. I think I KNOW my eight-minute suppressed righteous indignation speeches and this was outstanding. Newsom alone has realized that all you have to do is stop playing Trump's version of this game, and introduce him to a NEW version in which the Mike Tyson Law applies - and he will have no chance. And Mike Tyson’s law – is that everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” As you listen to the speech, my connoisseur’s advice is to listen to the slow burn and the rapidly decreasing time between each metaphorical shot Newsom takes. It’s not just the FIRST grown-up speech responding to Trump’s evil. It’s a really good one. And it ends with… Trump getting metaphorically punched in the face. But consider the larger context. Newsom’s emergence – this is a stupid analogy but it somehow works – was like a caterpillar emerging as a gigantic butterfly, a butterfly equipped with nukes, a stealth bomber butterfly – and THAT was last Friday with his threat to crash Trump by withholding all of California’s federal taxes, all 692 billion of it – THE economic civil war game-ender I have been advocating out here in the wilderness for a decade. Then he says “wait, I’m not finished yet” and he goes back inside the cocoon for a minute and comes out even LARGER with MORE nukes and now he is THE Resistance, THE Democratic Party, and THE hope to save America. A week ago Gavin Newsom was posting a podcast with quote “Doctor” Phil McGraw, who did a ride along with ICE raiders. June 4: glad-hand interview that utter fraud Phil McGraw AFTER glad-hand interviewing Newt Gingrich, Michael Savage, Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. June 6: respond to Trump’s threats to kneecap California by threatening to lead a TAX STRIKE – the most liberal, progressive, in-your-face political protest proposed this century. June 7-8-9: come back and TOP that with calling the bluff of these Halloween Mask bullies like Trump and Tom Homan. June 10: give this speech. So, now the question is: Why haven’t any other Democratic so-called leaders followed Newsom over the top into no-man’s land even though he went first and discovered there are 100 to 200 million Americans just standing there waiting for somebody to lead them against Trump? B-Block (38:22) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Senator Kevin Cramer, who has never held a real job in his life (an entire career as a politician or failed political candidate) doesn't see the need for ANY federal minimum wage. Tulsi Gabbard thinks the "elites" have underground bunkers in which they can survive nuclear war. And Terry Moran got fired for an analytical opinion about Stephen Miller, but Jake Tapper can retweet Jonah Goldberg's opinion retweeting Fox's opinion retweeting Fetterman's opinion about how much the Democrats are hated. Fire. Tapper. Now. C-Block (50:00) IN MEMORY OF MINET GERMAIN OLBERMANN: Tuesday was World Pet Memorial Day and yesterday was the third anniversary of his gotcha day, so please let me tell you about my late rescue Minet. He arrived here a month shy of his 15th birthday with no expectations and very little awareness of the world around him. And then a little dental care and a little attention and the next thing I knew he was literally jumping for joy on the streets of New York. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

COUNTDOWN BULLETIN: SEASON 3 EPISODE 137 Attempting to question Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at her Propaganda Conference in Los Angeles today about the Trump Junta's illegal usurpation of the California National Guard and its illegal deployment of active military into civilian police enforcement, California Senator Alex Padilla was jumped by a series of Trumpist thugs including uniformed members of the FBI who wrestled him to the ground, threatened him, and handcuffed him. This is simply the latest in a string of domestic terrorist events perpetrated by Trump's government since the beginning of the ICE raids rounding up migrants, naturalized citizens, and native-born Americans alike, last Friday. It precipitated minor protests and violence slightly below the level of that seen after the Los Angeles Lakers' basketball team won its last championship in 2020. The manhandling of Padilla may have not been the most ominous development Thursday in our march towards dictatorship. Pressed at a congressional hearing about the pending case asking a judge to restrain Trump from usurping control of the California National Guard from Governor Newsom, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth refused to confirm he would abide by any ruling from the court with which he would not agree. He is attempting to cloak the insertion of active military into civilian police enforcement, and the overriding of the courts, in some fantasy that he and Trump are enacting "foreign policy" by terrorizing Southern California. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Civil Unrest in Los Angeles: Describes ongoing chaos and protests, comparing them to the 2020 Black Lives Matter demonstrations. Claims that Democratic leaders are mischaracterizing the protests as peaceful. Criticism of Democratic Leaders: Targets figures like Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Cory Booker. Accuses them of downplaying violence and failing to address crime and immigration issues. Defense of Donald Trump: Justifies Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to California. Frames Trump as a protector of law and order, acting in contrast to what the author sees as Democratic inaction or incompetence. Immigration and Crime: Strong rhetoric against illegal immigration, linking it to crime and strain on public services. Praises ICE and law enforcement for their actions. Political Allegations: Suggests that unrest is orchestrated by Democratic donors and activists to undermine Trump. Predicts that similar unrest will spread to other cities as part of a broader political strategy. Statements from Officials: Includes quotes attributed to Trump and others, including a segment from Kristi Noem (referred to as “Christie Nome”), supporting federal intervention and criticizing local leadership.
