Podcasts about MacArthur Park

Adam opens the show with his thoughts on the media outrage surrounding immigration agents operating in L.A.'s MacArthur Park. He reflects on a past trip to Canada with Jimmy Kimmel to pitch The Man Show, then pivots to a viral post he made on X showcasing the lack of progress in Malibu's fire cleanup. Adam shares his growing annoyance with certain groups of people on Pacific Coast Highway, lists the types of vehicles that irritate him most, and reminisces about his unicycling days. He also explains the difference between spinning rims and floating rims.In the news, Elisha Krauss joins Adam to discuss a variety of headlines, including Trump joking about signing an executive order to officially rename soccer “football” in the U.S. They also react to reports that dozens of NYPD recruits are being forced to resign due to mental health and background check failures. Plus, a beat-up Hermès Birkin bag once owned by Jane Birkin just became the most expensive handbag ever sold at auction—fetching a whopping $10 million despite its rough condition.Later in the show, legendary poet and songwriter Stephen Kalinich joins Adam in the studio to talk about working with Brian and Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys, and what the Laurel Canyon music scene was really like in the '60s and '70s. Stephen shares his chilling story of meeting Charles Manson, and Adam talks about his love for songs with great lyrics—and his distaste for the ones without.

Last week, over 100 agents from nine federal agencies stormed a bucolic public park in Los Angeles, claiming it was a hotbed of terrorism and lawlessness. In fact, heavily armed soldiers in camouflage found a group of young children attending a summer camp. This was a show of force meant to intimidate, shock, and awe, but just like Trump's military parade in Washington, DC, it ended up pathetic and farcical. Today we are fortunate to speak with journalist Mel Buer, who was at MacArthur Park and witnessed this sad spectacle. We talk about what she saw  and how is simply part of a recent history of attacks on mostly brown people. We get Mel's thoughts on both the broader national context, and how local people and longstanding immigrant's rights groups are resisting and fighting back.Mel Buer is an LA-based independent journalist covering labor, social movements, and community organizing. 

Wild scenes unfolded at Los Angeles' MacArthur Park as federal ICE agents launched a raid targeting suspected MS-13 gang members. In a shocking twist, Mayor Karen Bass reportedly showed up on the scene, confronting ICE officers and demanding an immediate end to the operation. Protesters quickly surrounded the park, clashing with law enforcement and slashing tires on armored vehicles.What really happened in MacArthur Park? Are federal agents overstepping their authority, or is this a necessary crackdown on violent gangs? And what role should city leaders like Mayor Bass play when federal and local agendas collide?

Episode Description: Reality TV Politics and Breaking NewsWelcome to another episode where we break down the news that's giving off major reality TV vibes - and not in a good way!What We're Covering This Episode:Trade Wars & Economic Drama - Trump's "take it or leave it" tariff ultimatums to 12 countries, with rates hitting up to 70%. Plus, his economic whack-a-mole game with BRICS nations that's making the Dow drop faster than your favorite team blowing a 20-point lead.Government "Efficiency" Gone Wild - The Supreme Court green-lights mass federal workforce cuts through DOGE, with 75,000 employees already taking deferred resignation. It's like watching someone try to lose weight by cutting off limbs - technically effective, but probably not the healthiest approach.Immigration Enforcement Theater - From militarized operations at MacArthur Park (complete with 90 National Guard troops and soldiers on horseback) to the deportation of world champion boxer Julio Cesar Chvez Jr. - we're breaking down enforcement that feels more like spectacle than strategy.MAGA Civil War - Elon Musk vs. Steve Bannon in the messiest billionaire feud since... well, ever. Complete with deportation threats, prison predictions, and calls to nationalize SpaceX. It's like watching two people argue over Netflix passwords, except they're both billionaires with massive political influence.Health Crisis Reality Check - Record-breaking measles outbreak with 1,277 cases across 38 states, plus Switzerland's breakthrough malaria treatment for newborns. Because apparently we can't have nice things without someone finding a way to mess them up.Natural Disaster Politics - Devastating Texas floods that killed 104 people, including 28 children at a summer camp, and how it's become another political football in debates over federal preparedness.AI & Tech Chaos - From OpenAI's $10 million education investment to Musk's AI chatbot going full antisemitic. Plus, why experts say the 2030s will be "radically different" and half of entry-level white-collar jobs could disappear in five years.International Relations Mess - Trump meets Netanyahu (complete with Nobel Peace Prize nomination), Ukraine gets some weapons (but not as many as promised), and why getting a Patriot missile "isn't like going to Walmart."Why This Matters:This isn't just political theater - it's real policy affecting real people's lives. We're watching a government that's moving fast and breaking things, except the things being broken are institutions, international relationships, and people's livelihoods.Whether you think this is necessary disruption or dangerous chaos probably depends on your perspective, but either way, it's definitely not boring. Join us as we make sense of the news that feels more like a reality show that's been renewed for too many seasons.Perfect for your commute, workout, or whenever you need to understand what's really happening behind the headlines.https://linktr.ee/purplepoliticalbreakdown

ICE and National Guard troops clearing out known drug den MacArthur Park leads to a new media/democrat narrative: ICE is terrorizing the people of LA. Eric Swalwell tries to be relevant but just sounds desperate as an LA native drops the truth about MacArthur Park - and why neighbors are delighted it got raided. A former John Brennan underling says he believes Brennan belongs in prison and brings the receipts to prove it. Conservative influencers who were invited to the White House explain how they were given the infamous Epstein binder - which we're now supposed to believe never existed. 

Mark Thompson fills in for Tim Conway Jr. and dives into the major stories shaping the day. ABC's Alex Stone joins to explain why TSA is phasing out the shoe-removal requirement—even for non-Precheck fliers. Then, Mark breaks down Mayor Karen Bass's pushback against recent ICE raids in MacArthur Park, including her newly announced lawsuit to halt federal enforcement actions in LA. KFI's Michael Monks joins with his take as a Downtown LA resident and what the ICE presence means for locals. Mark wraps the hour with heartbreaking updates on the deadly flooding in Texas as the situation worsens.

Mark dives into the conspiracy theories surrounding the Epstein files, playing clips from Tucker Carlson, Dan Bongino, and Attorney General Pam Bondi. Then, a wild story out of Las Vegas: a widow sues the Palazzo hote l after her husband dies of a fentanyl overdose allegedly tied to a sex worker—Mark breaks down the liability. Later, a warning about CBD's possible link to liver damage. And finally, Mark unpacks the political optics of the ICE raids at MacArthur Park and revisits Trump's bold claim about deterring Putin with threats of bombing Moscow.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Supply and Demand is a Real Thing President Trump's cabinet meeting addresses a range of topics, including the devastating Texas floods, economic developments, and border security. The hosts highlight the Trump administration’s claim that tariffs have generated over $100 billion in revenue, with projections of $300 billion more, challenging mainstream narratives about inflation and price hikes. The discussion transitions into immigration enforcement, spotlighting Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s opposition to ICE operations in MacArthur Park. Clay and Buck critique sanctuary city policies and explore the broader economic impact of illegal immigration on housing costs, emergency room usage, and labor markets. They argue that removing illegal immigrants could lower rent prices and reduce strain on public services, reinforcing conservative immigration stances. Salena Zito Recalls Butler Journalist Salena Zito joins the show to discuss her new book, "Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland." Zito recounts her firsthand experience at the rally where Trump was shot in the ear, describing the chaos, the president’s resolve, and the symbolic power of his raised fist. She reflects on how the event transformed Trump’s sense of purpose and galvanized support across the political spectrum. The hosts predict that Trump’s reaction in Butler will become an iconic moment in American history, likening it to Lincoln at Gettysburg. Energy Secretary Chris Wright Fresh out of President Trump's cabinet meeting, Energy Secretary Chris Wright joins the show to outline the Trump administration’s “Make Energy Great Again” (MEGA) strategy. This includes ending half a trillion dollars in federal subsidies for wind, solar, and electric vehicles, which Wright argues have destabilized the power grid and driven up electricity costs. He emphasizes a return to fossil fuel production on federal lands, streamlined permitting, and targeted tax credits for next-generation nuclear, geothermal, and hydroelectric technologies. The conversation shifts to the affordability of gasoline, with Wright noting a 25–30 cent per gallon drop in prices over the past year despite global instability. He attributes this to increased domestic production and a shift in Middle East dynamics, particularly regarding Iran. The hosts and Wright also explore the urgent need for massive energy infrastructure expansion to meet the exponential power demands of AI technologies, warning of a looming 200-gigawatt shortfall if current coal plant closures proceed without adequate replacement. Cosmetic Theater The inefficiencies of TSA airport security, celebrating the end of the shoe-removal requirement and sharing personal anecdotes about pre-check lines and airport design. Airports in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Las Vegas are criticized for poor layout and outdated facilities, while LaGuardia, Nashville, and Salt Lake City receive praise for recent improvements.

Today - Steph and company discuss ICE and National Guard troops conducting a raid in L.A.'s MacArthur Park. The raid's abrupt ending and lack of clarity regarding arrests or purpose fueled further criticism and accusations that the operation was primarily for show.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today's biggest stories shaping America and the world. Democrat Lawmakers Say “There Needs to Be Blood” Over Deportations Multiple Democrat members of Congress admit their voters want violence to stop Trump's immigration crackdown. One even said people are calling for lawmakers to get shot—or provoke ICE into shootouts. Meanwhile, a gunman opened fire on Border Patrol agents in Texas, injuring three before being killed. Bryan warns that this rhetoric and violence will only escalate as deportations ramp up under the new Triple B law. ICE Cracks Down on LA's MacArthur Park, Mayor Bass Blames Feds ICE launched its biggest raid yet at MacArthur Park, a hotbed of stolen goods, drugs, and gang activity. Migrants fled as officers swarmed the area. LA Mayor Karen Bass called the operation outrageous, claiming children were playing in the park, but ICE pushed back and promised to return. DOJ and FBI Say Epstein Had No Client List - Contradicting Past Statements The DOJ and FBI now claim Jeffrey Epstein had no list of clients and acted alone, contradicting earlier statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI leadership. Bryan recounts how Epstein's original sweetheart deal in 2008 protected co-conspirators and fueled suspicions of intelligence agency involvement. He says the official conclusion reeks of corruption and cover-up. CIA Under Fire Over Russia Hoax Report A newly declassified report reveals that former CIA Director John Brennan manipulated intelligence to falsely claim Russia helped elect Trump in 2016. Brennan personally pushed the discredited Steele dossier into the Intelligence Community Assessment, bypassed standard procedures, and ensured it was leaked. Bryan calls it treasonous and says Brennan deserves prison for trying to sabotage the Republic. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

President Trump publicly released tariff letters to around a dozen countries—including Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia—warning they'll face import taxes of at least 25% starting August 1 unless they finalize new trade deals. Meanwhile, a California National Guard deployment to an empty park in LA drew backlash as a political stunt, while Customs and Border Protection issued a call for advanced surveillance tech to analyze seized digital devices. Cybersecurity experts raised alarms over Scattered Spider, a hacker group targeting U.S. infrastructure using phishing and impersonation tactics. The DOJ and FBI released a memo denying any Epstein “client list” or foul play in his prison death—despite past contradictions—including new (but suspect) footage. Physician groups are suing HHS Secretary RFK Jr. over new federal COVID vaccine recommendations, and the Trump administration says a U.S.-friendly version of TikTok is on track to launch September 5 as part of a deal to avoid a full ban.

(July 08,2025)Heather Brooker and Neil Saavedra join Bill for Handel on the News. New flooding risks; death toll rises in Central Texas. Heavily armed immigration agents in L.A's MacArthur Park. Trump announces new tariffs of up to 40% on a growing number of countries. US Justice Department finds no Jeffrey Epstein ‘client list.'

(July 08,2025)Heavily armed immigration agents descend on L.A.'s MacArthur Park; Mayor Karen Bass shows up. ‘Gringo Go Home.' Mexico City protests target Americans and gentrification. KTLA & KFI tech reporter Rich DeMuro joins the show for ‘Tech Tuesday.' Netanyahu nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize and gives him a copy of the nominating letter

This gripping broadcast details a wave of escalating violence targeting federal immigration officers across the U.S. Following anonymous admissions from House Democrats that their constituents “want blood,” attacks erupted—including an assassination attempt on ICE agents in McAllen, Texas, and coordinated efforts in Los Angeles and Portland to trap agents inside buildings and burn them alive. The host describes how masked Antifa groups and radical activists have refined these deadly tactics since the “Summer of Love,” aided by alleged indifference—or even complicity—from Democrat leaders like L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. As MS-13 gangs tighten their hold over MacArthur Park, scenes of cartel-style control and open-air drug markets are becoming a grim reality. The episode paints a dire picture of the merging of extremist violence, political cover, and organized crime in American cities.

He's LIVE! David Waldman has been keeping his opinions to himself for DAYS... and he can barely take it any longer. Thank goodness we're here! Trump's loyalist army, ICE, now better funded than the Russian army, liberated MacArthur Park in LA... all the sweet green icing flowing down. Oh nooooo... Jeffery Epstein? No, that name doesn't ring a bell over at the White House. Trump is due to claim that Joe Biden and Elon Musk created Jeff in AI. Ghislaine Maxwell, call your lawyer. Ted (Vacation) Cruz doesn't mind Texas but seems to hate the weather. Donald says not to blame him for the Texas floods, as it's all God's fault. (God must be wondering why He was dumb enough to choose him again.) Trump is due to claim that Joe Biden and Elon Musk created the flood in AI. Donald K. Trump believes Ukraine is real, sometimes. Is China spying on us through TikTok? Trump might believe that, but he does not believe in any laws that restrict it, or any laws for that matter. Trump tariffs are back on! Or they're back off! What, don't you believe him? Crazy Don is making crazy deals! Everyone's invited to our Open House, no reasonable offer refused! 90 days, same as cash! How can Abrego Garcia become a figment of our imagination, if US courts won't let him disappear? El Salvador now claims that it was only paid to imprison, torture and eventually kill people sent to them, nothing was said about “legal responsibility”. Whether it's shipping prisoners to Sudan, the Alien Enemies Act, or Birthright Citizenship, Trump just needs only one break to take the whole system down. Elon Musk had his Big Balls cut off, so instead of buying one of his stupid cars, he thought you might just want to send him money. (Wouldn't it be more fun if Elon spent a billion or two on private investigators?)

Welcome back to another episode of Rick's Rambles Podcast! This week's show is packed with fascinating facts, uplifting stories, and musical memories.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2017 conversation with Jimmy Webb. ABOUT JIMMY WEBBJimmy Webb emerged as a superstar songwriter and arranger in 1967 when two of his songs – The 5th Dimension's “Up, Up and Away” and Glen Campbell's “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” - were among the five nominees for the Grammy's Song of the Year award. He went on to write a string of major hits for Campbell, including “Wichita Lineman,” “Galveston,” "Where's the Playground Susie,” “Honey Come Back,” and many others. Additionally, he penned “MacArthur Park,” which was a hit for a diverse range of artists, including Richard Harris, Waylon Jennings, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, and Donna Summer; “The Worst That Could Happen,” which was a Top 5 hit for The Brooklyn Bridge; “Didn't We,” which was recorded by Thelma Houston, Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, and Barbra Streisand; “All I Know,” which became a Top 10 hit for Art Garfunkel; “The Moon's a Harsh Mistress,” which has been recorded by Joe Cocker, Judy Collins, Linda Ronstadt, and Josh Groban; and “If These Walls Could Speak,” which was recorded by Glen Campbell, Amy Grant, Nanci Griffith, and Shawn Colvin. Others who've covered material from the Jimmy Webb songbook include Diana Ross, Dusty Springfield, Nina Simone, The Four Tops, Roberta Flack, The Temptations, The Association, Tom Jones, Dionne Warwick, Cass Elliot, Harry Nilsson, Nancy Wilson, Cher, Bob Dylan, The Everly Brothers, Nick Cave, John Denver, Kenny Rogers, Sheena Easton, David Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Michael Feinstein, R.E.M., Aimee Mann, America, Aretha Franklin, Isaac Hayes, Peggy Lee, Bette Midler, James Taylor, Carrie Underwood, Dwight Yoakam, and The Highwaymen (consisting of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson), who took Jimmy's song “Highwayman” to #1, earning him a Grammy for Country Song of the Year. As an artist, he has released more than a dozen albums. One of the most celebrated songwriters on the planet, Jimmy is the only individual to win Grammy awards for music, lyrics, and orchestration. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Great American Songbook Hall of Fame. Additionally, he has received ASCAP's Lifetime Achievement Award, the Influential Songwriter Award from the National Music Publishers Association, and the Academy of Country Music's prestigious Poets Award. In 2015 he was named among Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. Jimmy's memoir, The Cake and the Rain, details his formative years and early career through 1973. It's available now from St. Martin's Press.
