Podcasts about Kushner

It’s Monday in America; time for The World’s Greatest Political Podcast: THE LEFT SHOW™! This week, J.M. Bell welcomes JC & Tiffany for a discussion about Canada, Congress, and Jeffries selling out the Democrats before the midterms. Jon takes exception at Turning Point USA, and J.M. talks about the affordability of existence. Trump renames more […] The post 747 The LEFT Show | Jeffries And Kushner And Trump And Target appeared first on The LEFT Show.

Look Forward breaks down Trump escalating his trade war with Canada by signing an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America;" a genuinely bizarre 400 year old naming dispute born entirely out of tariff spite. Meanwhile, Trump's beef import plan is already causing real problems: 30,000 pounds of Argentine beef just got recalled in Texas and Florida, raising real questions about the plan's quality controls even as ranchers and consumers alike push back.Hakeem Jeffries met privately with Jared Kushner weeks before midterms that could make him Speaker of the House, a decision that's drawing serious criticism from the leftwing of the Democratic Party. SCOTUS handed Trump a technically favorable but ultimately inconsequential ruling on mail voting. A Republican midterm convention is shaping up to be an expensive, tone deaf disaster, with House members reportedly paying up to $100,000 to attend.In corruption news: the State Department is trying to sell a Kehinde Wiley painting because it's "too woke," the Trump administration is threatening to demolish The Kennedy Center if it doesn't get its way on renaming it, and Trump's own crypto ventures have left other investors nearly $5 billion underwater while he personally profits. We cover all of it; the pettiness, the corruption, and the genuinely bizarre.Look Forward is a weekly progressive political podcast covering U.S. politics, government policy, Democratic strategy, elections, voting rights, Supreme Court rulings, and political news. Featuring progressive commentary, political analysis, and unapologetic opinions on the fight for democracy. Hosted by Jay and Brad. A TNP Studios production.

Gaslit Nation has long warned that the test for our democracy is whether Jared and Ivanka will be investigated, and whether they will face any charges. Instead, they follow a long family tradition of using their immense illicit wealth to live above the law. In this week's bonus show, we respond to reports that New York Congressman and House Speaker hopeful Hakeem Jeffries secretly met with Kushner, the president's son-in-law, himself the son of a convicted felon, and the shadow secretary of state traveling the world while representing both the American taxpayer and his own grift. They claim Kushner doesn't have an official White House role, then why is he in the middle of every major geopolitical conflict, meeting with dictators and other kleptocrats? (It's the money!)  News of the Jeffries/Kushner meeting set off a debate in this week's Gaslit Nation Salon over whether Jeffries is the right leader for Democrats in Congress during this dangerous time, who would be better positioned to replace him, and why we must demand accountability if we're ever going to rebuild our democracy.

The President is now beefing with Hasan Piker. God, please save us. On today's episode, the boys talk about how the internet isn't real life (or at least, shouldn't be), why we don't trust Hakeem Jeffries to do anything positive in his secret meeting with Jared Kushner, a series of republican switch ups (on data centers & AIPAC), and Ezra Klein's latest think piece about Twitter. The internet is not real life, and this merger between online political discourse and actual politics is messy, to say the least.Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) STOP TALKING ABOUT HASAN PIKER(9:30) Hakeem Jeffries meets with Jared Kushner(15:25) Mike Rogers distances himself from AIPAC(24:00) Republicans switch up on data centers(36:10) Ezra Klein, woke 1.0, conservative media bias(1:12:00) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Hakeem Jeffries meets with Kushner - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/us/politics/jeffries-kushner-private-meeting.html Recent GOP flip flops on AIPAC & data centers - https://www.axios.com/2026/08/22/mike-rogers-aipac-michigan-senate https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/24/data-centers-oh-s-t-moment-01046465 https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/08/23/most-gop-politicians-now-talk-negatively-about-data-centers-data-shows/ https://www.axios.com/2026/08/23/greg-abbott-texas-data-centers-ai-backlash https://prospect.org/2026/08/20/mi-07-tom-barrett-scrambles-to-bury-his-data-center-past/ Ezra Klein article - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/opinion/twitter-x-woke-1-elon-musk.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/politics/relationship-charlie-kirk-donald-trump

Canada flat-out rejected Trump's terms in trade talks, so now it looks like we are going to have a trade war with our friends in the Great White North. Sorry, Maine. Sorry, bourbon industry. And in MAGA farm country, ranchers are furious that POTUS is increasing beef imports free of tariffs. Even Tom Cotton has dared to question Trump's move. And on the other side of the aisle, Democrats should maximize their attacks on ICE, the midterms are looking wave-ish, and Hakeem should explain why he would have a conversation with Kushner that did not involve a subpoena. Plus: the Iran war has been a strategic loss for the U.S., Trump's summer 250 celebrations were a bust, Lindsey's sister is an empty vessel, and hater Enes Kanter's campaign against the WNBA is gross and disgusting.Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.show notes: Lauren's piece on Roy Cooper Tim's latest crazy, stupid Republicans ‘Take.'

Hakeem Jeffries met privately with Jared Kushner in recent weeks. Incredible. Kushner should be under oath in front of a congressional committee. The fact that Jeffries met with him confirms that Jeffries doesn't understand this moment and cannot meet this moment. And if he's the next Speaker, that's not a good thing for the Democratic Party or the country. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jefferies and Kushner

Hawk's objection is structural. Kushner holds no government position, which is what keeps him outside security clearance and financial disclosure requirements, and he is simultaneously serving as envoy on Gaza, Iran, and Ukraine while raising money for his own fund from the governments he is negotiating with. The arithmetic is the part worth watching. Steven Rattner's chart work shows the fund is almost entirely foreign capital, including two billion from Saudi Arabia over the objection of the royal family's own advisers. At a 1.25 percent management fee, three billion under management pays Kushner roughly 37 million a year whether he does anything or not. Democratic voters keep telling pollsters they want someone who will fight. Hawk's question is what a private common ground meeting signals about January.

CannCon and Zak Paine open Monday with highlights from the Freedom 250 race in DC before digging into a measles outbreak story where the actual death numbers do not match the panic, with a detour into obesity and food policy nobody seems to want to talk about. From there they cover Brandon Gill making the case for testing the legality of auto pen pardons in court, and why the Fauci prosecution might be the perfect vehicle to do it, alongside the escalating Eric Swalwell investigation. The back half includes a New York Times story on a private Jeffries and Kushner meeting fueling midterm speculation, the Postal Service quietly tightening mail in ballot requirements despite a court block, and Gavin Newsom signing a bill critics say targets investigative reporting. Plenty of tangents and easy Monday banter throughout.

The buzz continues this morning after we learned about a secret, face-to-face meeting between Jared Kushner and Hakeem Jeffries. So, who should be more concerned, Democrats or Republicans? ... The White House says today is economic D-day for Iran. But haven't years of sanctions and isolation already failed? The father of a sailor serving an extended deployment aboard the USS Lincoln has been detained by ICE for deportation. We discuss how voters are responding to that.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Look Forward breaks down Trump threatening Oman over the Strait of Hormuz, having backed himself into a corner with no diplomatic exit. Trump's tabloid style "not-mistress" saga gets a new chapter as his rumored companion lands in the spotlight thanks to John Ossoff. Meanwhile, the administration quietly signals a scale-back of joint military exercises with South Korea, raising fears of history repeating itself in the region. Republicans, once skeptical of data centers, suddenly need voters to love them ahead of the midterms; we break down the political reversal and why this is a horrible move for them and a great win for Democrats.In corruption news: the Lakers may be heading to be owned by a Kushner, conveniently easing federal pressure on the team's current owner. Trump Media's latest earnings report shows the company floundering just as badly as the rest of Trump's business ventures. In a stunning court admission, the Trump administration confirmed it's been withholding federal dollars from blue states specifically because they didn't vote for him. Setting off a disastrous precedent that could have far reaching implications long after the nightmare of the Trump era is over.Plus: A sitting US Senator admits on video she's "not that informed on national security." All the chaos, corruption, and unintentional comedy.Look Forward is a weekly progressive political podcast covering U.S. politics, government policy, Democratic strategy, elections, voting rights, Supreme Court rulings, and political news.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. After Israel struck a military base in Syria, where Turkey was apparently ready to deploy forces, Horovitz reviews the ensuing diplomatic ruckus between Israel, Turkey and Syria, with a US envoy castigating Israel but the White House silent. Following this week's meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump aide Jared Kushner regarding the Board of Peace plan for Gaza, Horovitz explains the shared goal but differing approaches of the US and Israel, and highlights the need to not only disarm Hamas but also drain its coffers. Horovitz examines the results of Monday's Likud primary and the options still available for Netanyahu to parachute a few of his own selected candidates to high slots on the party's final Knesset slate. He also updates us on the emergence of yet another small party, and a renewed alliance between three established ones. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Jared Kushner and Prime Minister Netanyahu met for hours in Jerusalem over the future of Gaza and came out sounding hopeful, though Israel still hasn't committed to the U.S. peace plan that Hamas has already agreed to, with an Israeli withdrawal the main sticking point. The war with Iran is draining America's military and it's being felt across the world, as the U.S. runs low on warships and interceptor missiles and no American aircraft carrier in the Pacific for the first time in years. It's primary day in Alaska, Florida and Wyoming, with a high-stakes Senate race in Alaska that could help decide control of the chamber, millions in outside money has been pouring into the contest.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

Trump is flailing so badly on Iran. He dispatched Jared Kushner to negotiate with the regime but then denies that any talks are happening at all. He also threatened to bomb one ally and hammered another for not helping him fight his war. And somehow, in all of this, Kushner—a private businessman and a consultant for the Saudis—is meeting with Hamas officials and Netanyahu while also looking out for his own financial interests.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and top aide Jared Kushner met with Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya in the Egyptian coastal city of El-Alamein on Sunday before meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem yesterday. We discuss the normalization of the US conducting direct talks with Hamas and a potential new way forward being floated by the Board of Peace. As the 60-day memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran has run out, in a wide-ranging phone interview with Fox News, US President Donald Trump said he had “no time schedule” for the conflict. Magid also delves into the visible mixed messaging between the president and Vice President J.D. Vance over the war's goals. And finally, we turn to the ongoing saga taking place at the Palestinian village of Qusra, near Nablus. International media attention has been spotlighting the location for over a week after settlers began surrounding several new houses built on its outskirts, trapping residents inside in an apparent effort to force them out. The IDF’s actions — and inactions — have generated condemnation around the world. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump said he won’t try to revive a stalled truce with Iran, leaving the simmering conflict in the Middle East and a tussle for control of the Strait of Hormuz stuck in limbo. A memorandum of understanding the US and Iran signed in June that gave them a 60-day window to negotiate a lasting peace deal technically expired Monday, and when Trump was asked if he would seek an extension, he replied: “No.” The ceasefire had been repeatedly violated in any event, with intermittent clashes continuing, and both sides had declared it defunct. Brent crude climbed Tuesday - by its highest level in more than three weeks - as prospects dimmed for a swift reopening of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil and gas transited before the war. Trump is demanding that free passage through the waterway be restored, while Iran said it will govern traffic in conjunction with Oman. 2) Jared Kushner assured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Israeli army won’t be compelled to withdraw from Gaza until Hamas disarms, an official with knowledge of the talks said, a stance that will dim hopes for a Gaza peace deal anytime soon. Kushner met with Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday, a day after holding talks with a Hamas leader in Egypt. The US and Israel agreed there would be no Israel Defense Forces redeployment from Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed and all of Gaza is demilitarized, according to the Board of Peace official, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. Those conditions are likely to be rejected by Hamas, which has insisted that Israel withdraw from Gaza before it gives up its weapons.3) Chinese leader Xi Jinping will forgo a stop in New York to address the UN General Assembly during a trip to the US next month to meet President Donald Trump, Politico reported. Politico cited four people familiar with the matter whom it didn’t identify. Xi plans to visit the US for three days, meeting Trump on Sept. 24, one of the people said. There’d been speculation that Xi would join other world leaders at the UN meeting as part of his US visit. Trump invited Xi to visit during his trip to Beijing in May. The two sides used their spring summit to steady ties that had deteriorated over trade, tech, Taiwan and other issues.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At least twenty people have been killed in the fire between both sides.President Trump's Middle East negotiator, Jared Kushner, is in Israel for talks on the future of Gaza, right after a rare face-to-face with Hamas in Egypt, as the two sides remain far apart on disarmament and an Israeli withdrawal.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

Today's Headlines: Todd Blanche went on Meet the Press and admitted he cannot pledge DOJ independence from the White House, and that the DOJ may ask the Supreme Court to intervene in 22 cases where judges blocked Trump's election interference efforts — specifically the administration's attempt to get voter rolls including names, addresses, and partial social security numbers from 30 states and DC. Trump also asked the Supreme Court to let him finish the $900 million White House renovation after courts ordered construction to stop by August 21st, now openly calling it a "national security structure" and "military complex" rather than a ballroom, posting an AI-generated video of himself consulting AI George Washington about the design, and accusing the people who sued him of treason for "revealing top military secrets" — about a ballroom. He also wants to redesign the entire Navy aircraft carrier fleet to look like World War 2 ships at $22 billion each. Meanwhile, families of sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln spoke to the Guardian describing relatives who lost 20-30 pounds, no clean drinking water, sparse food, and a five-week wait to see the ship's only psychiatrist — and when Trump was asked if the sailors had been deployed too long, he said they hadn't been deployed long enough. A detail the administration has not been eager to divulge is that Iran destroyed the Bahrain port where US Navy ships would normally dock, so every American warship in the region has nowhere to resupply. Trump also reduced joint military exercises with South Korea to please Kim Jong Un, posting a throwback photo of the two of them and noting they have "many where we're smiling" — sure, Donald. Jared Kushner met with Hamas in Egypt where they reaffirmed their commitment to disarming, which Netanyahu doesn't believe. In other news, Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to two federal stalking charges and his lawyers are using the plea to argue double jeopardy on state charges, while his New York murder trial still starts next month. And finally,  Lake Mead and Lake Powell — the two largest reservoirs supplying water to seven western states — hit their lowest levels in seven decades, because July was the hottest month on record and winter was the driest.

President Trump's Middle East envoy, Jared Kushner, has met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he seeks Israeli backing for the US-backed Gaza peace plan. Mr Netanyahu has rejected the proposals. Israeli officials said today's meeting focused on elements that could be agreed.Also on the programme: Mr Trump says he's scaling back joint military exercises with South Korea, describing them as "inappropriate and hostile" towards the North; after nearly three decades, opening statements are due to begin later today (Monday) in the trial of the only man ever charged with the murder of the American rapper Tupac Shakur; and and the appeal of the Ferrari without the trademark roar!

Jon Herold digs deep into newly declassified FBI files on suspected Chinese operative Christine Fang, nicknamed "Rusty Thumbs" by investigators, and her years long relationship with Congressman Eric Swalwell, walking through the FBI's failed attempt to recruit her as a source before pivoting to a campaign corruption investigation that ultimately closed without charges. He builds out a detailed theory around a still classified National Security Presidential Memorandum he believes triggered the document release, connecting it to his ongoing coverage of the weaponized intelligence community storyline. Other topics include an appeals court dismissing an Alien Enemies Act challenge, Trump's Truth Social post on reducing joint military exercises with South Korea, Kushner and Netanyahu's Gaza disarmament stance, and a Bloomberg opinion piece skeptical of Tucker Carlson's third party ambitions. Sponsor reads, personal deck staining stories, and a lively chat session round out a dense Monday show.

CannCon and Zak Paine kick off Monday with a Kushner and Grinnell clip on longevity and priorities after leaving the White House, plus a quick check in on the surprise hurricane that battered Hawaii over the weekend. The real headline is a resurfaced Terry Moran interview where the ABC correspondent admits network brass killed his own investigation into the COVID lab leak theory back in 2021, a story the hosts say deserves way more attention than it has gotten. They also touch on a memoir clip getting renewed attention online involving a public figure's account of a traumatic experience at eighteen, and a chunk of a speech that has the hosts nodding along on campaign finance reform despite disagreeing with plenty else. They close with easily the favorite clip of the day, a Democrat election lawyer visibly melting down over dried up funding heading into the midterms.

El primer ministro Benjamin Netanyahu ha recibido a Jared Kushner, yerno de Donald Trump y uno de sus enviados especiales para el conflicto de Gaza.

They pull apart what that says about Trump's cowardice, Israel's ability to manipulate the administration, and the Secret Service's ongoing institutional failure. From there, they break down the Wisconsin Democratic primary, where Francesca Hong lost to David Crowley by 3,000 votes after corporate media spent weeks framing the race around Thanksgiving tweets and Hassan Piker instead of actual policy, while a $15 million centrist operation quietly bankrolls opposition research against every leftist candidate in the country. The Lakers sale to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner for $12.5 billion gets the full treatment as a case study in oligarchical consolidation under a corrupt administration, with Kushner now sitting on the board of A24 and reviving Life magazine while private equity moves into the Yankees. They close on Caroline Leavitt's resignation and the pointlessness of Ted Lasso season four.

It's a packed afternoon edition of The Rush Hour Podcast as Donald Trump pulls a bizarre disappearing act—ducking out of Air Force One while seemingly using a crowd of reporters as a decoy. What exactly was he trying to avoid? Then, the Mitch McConnell saga gets even uglier as his supporters mock journalists who are simply trying to get answers and seek the truth. We break down the outrage, the evasions, and why asking basic questions has apparently become controversial. Plus, Trump sets his sights on Zohran Mamdani, ramping up his attacks on socialism as Mamdani's political profile continues to grow. Is the anti-socialism playbook still effective, or is Trump fighting a political battle from another era? And finally, Jared Kushner takes an L on Sazan Island. We break down what happened, what Kushner wanted, and why the controversial project appears to have hit a major roadblock. Four stories. Plenty of chaos. It's the afternoon edition of The Rush Hour Podcast.
