More primaries! David Waldman weaves a new KITM ahead of post-primary Wednesday. What's the worst thing Trump can do in the midterms? Well, if Mike Pence has the courage… Why did 50-60,000 refugees attempt to cross into Spanish-held Ceuta all at once? Were they a fake migrant caravan weaponized flashmob manipulated by the far-right? It's uncertain, but MAGA's taking notes, and probably wishes ICE left enough Haitians in Springfield to try it. When some aim high, a Texas Gop candidate aims low.
Governor John Kasich went on national TV and told Paul Rieckhoff, to his face, that independents aren't really independent — that come November they'll just go back to the bench and put the old jersey back on. Paul's response is the spine of this episode: that's an antiquated way of looking at America in 2026. Sixty percent of young people are unaffiliated. Fifty percent of veterans are unaffiliated. Ten thousand Americans are walking out of the Republican and Democratic parties every single week. Trump is sitting at a 22% approval with independents and a 32-34% approval overall — the Bush line — with an unpopular Iran war, tariffs jacking prices, and a party heading into the midterms with 96 days on the clock. This is a media-blitz sweep of a very big week. Paul rolls through his hits on CNN, News Nation, and MS Now to break down the races the rigged two-party system doesn't want you watching: Todd Achilles running head-to-head against 83-year-old Jim Risch in Idaho after the Democrat dropped out, Seth Bodnar in Montana, Dan Osborn in Nebraska, Yemi Mobolade already governing as an independent mayor in Colorado Springs. He takes on the Politico poll showing MAGA voters shrugging off DUI convictions, bribery, domestic violence, and sexual assault allegations — and names the command climate that made that possible. And he pushes the Democrats hard: outrage isn't a plan. What's your alternative on affordability? What's your alternative to end the war in Iran? Independents are listening. So is a country starved for character. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Is the MAGA media machine actually cracking up, or is it just taking a summer nap? Jared and Mike sift through new data reporting from The New York Times, and a truly staggering amount of cringe, to find out. View counts are dropping, engagement is cratering, and people are getting "the ick" from influencers like Benny Johnson.Amid this MAGA content recession, one unusual newcomer is growing her audience: self-styled "American Sweetheart" Savanna Cannon. First covered in The Bulwark, Cannon is producing racist Instagram content in apparent hopes of converting horny MAGA men into OnlyFans simps who will pay to watch her do anal.MAGA has also taken aim at rap music, claiming without evidence that the genre only succeeded in pop culture because of funding from since-shuttered USAID programs. If not for this secret USAID scheme, they suggest, maybe we'd all be line-dancing to country tunes right now. Imagine that!Links to stories referenced:The MAGA Media Machine Is Fracturing (Stuart A. Thompson @ The New York Times)Right-Wing Media and OnlyFans Are in a Symbiotic Relationship (Will Sommer @ The Bulwark)Right Wingers Claim Rap Music is Dead Thanks to ...

MAGA has a new target within the Trump administration: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. So who are immigration hardliners suggesting should take his seat? Plus, Playbook co-authors Dasha Burns and Will Steakin sit down with POLITICO's California Bureau Chief Melanie Mason to discuss the questions around Kamala Harris' 2028 bid, Marjorie Taylor Greeen's America First who's who tweet, and a contentious CNN interview with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. For more news and analysis, subscribe to the Playbook newsletter: politico.com/playbook
Something weird is happening on the far right. MAGA influencers are calling out the pork industry. RFK Jr. is taking credit for militant animal rescue actions. And the animal welfare movement is taking notice. Astra Taylor joins us again to talk about a forthcoming article she and Aaron co-authored on the shifting political terrain around animal rights. The core question: Could this be the new MAHA (Make America Healthy Again)? A few years ago, it was impossible to imagine that crunchy moms who hate Monsanto would become a key part of Trump's electoral coalition. But here we are, in part because Democrats created a vacuum on health issues that the right stepped into. We think something similar could be happening today with animal rights—which, if the left doesn't wake up, could be very bad for all of us.Fighting Fascism Podcast is produced by Nik Damants in collaboration with The Nation.Intro song and music by Horse Radish.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got some hard pushback from CNN anchor Dana Bash during a contentious 21-minute interview on “State of Union." Bash pressed him on his vaccine skepticism. The conversation turned heated as Bash challenged Kennedy's claims about COVID-19 vaccines and their impact on children, specifically asking whether he could point to credible research demonstrating that the vaccine “did more harm than good.” Guests today include: Trita Parsi. He is an expert on foreign policy, including Iran, and serves as the Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute. https://www.tritaparsi.com https://tritaparsi.substack.com David Shuster is an Emmy award winning news anchor.

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Sunday 19 October at Church House, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION Marketing with purpose, rather than solely for profit, hit the mainstream 20 years ago with the launch by Unilever of the ‘Campaign for Real Beauty' for Dove. This was a well-meaning attempt to link selling soap with a broader social theme: female body positivity. With the rise of CSR (corporate social responsibility) and EDI in business, more brands dived into so-called ‘purpose-led' marketing in their communications, advertising and logo design. The rush was on, not just to flog stuff to consumers, but also to take a stance on social issues and portray the brand as an actor on the societal stage. It didn't always go to plan. People have an affection and loyalty for their favourite brands. So, for some marketing directors' moves to align the car, beer or food they sell with the social cause du jour, there is a backlash waiting to happen. A quiet but loyal user base who were happy with the brand's previous non-politicised approach may object to a new direction and make their feelings known – with social media pile-ons and boycotts, sometimes to devastating effect. The solution is for the brand to only make moves that are well-researched, authentic and heartfelt, where the external marketing supports the reality of the product and realistic consumer tolerance. It's the quick-win superficial attempts to get down with the kids (for example, Bud Light beer's financially disastrous ‘partnership' with a transgender influencer in 2023) that can turn to a quick loss. And even removing a familiar symbol can be as infuriating to the base as creating a diverse new campaign. The Cracker Barrel restaurant chain in the US found this recently when they announced the removal of the (apparently) much-loved ‘Uncle Herschel' character from their logo and tried to go all plain and bland. And when Donald Trump weighed in, sensing an attack on the traditional values of his MAGA base, the company was caught in the headlights. This session will ask if we are past ‘peak purpose'. Should brands with big marketing, advertising and design budgets persist in using their leverage to become political or social evangelists and risk the backlash from those who disagree… or just dodge the issue and stick to selling stuff? What is the purpose of ‘marketing with purpose'?

Like the vaccine and the return of live music and indoor dining, another gift was delivered to the masses when the FBI stormed the apartment of former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani for a multitude of possible crimes. How this man has skated untouched for so long was no mystery. He was being protected from high up by Trump and his Justice Department. But with Biden's election and the appointment of Merrick Garland as AG, there's a new sheriff in town and Rudy is going down! Later I speak with the Washington Post's Greg Sargent about the demonization of the left, the MAGA victory in state and local elections and other fun topics.To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policyLearn more about your ad choices.

Recap of Democrat problems. Biden's, fraud, etc. [X] SB – DC police manipulated stats For example, Morning Joe knows how bad things are for Democrats as they reinforced what I reported weeks ago. [X] SB – Morning Joe panel discusses Democrats' money woes Dire financial situation for the DNC with less than 100 days before the midterms. Asking vendors not to send bills. Bookkeeping maneuver Trump $400M Super PAC Put their building up for collateral… Ken Martin And instead of blaming the party and its insanity, they blamed the DNC chairman. Would you want that guy's job? You'd have to sell the world on drag queen shows, releasing rapists and murderers because they are ILLEGALS and you DON'T WANT THEM DEPORTED. What else should I need to tell you? Is it any wonder Democrats needed to establish a perpetual money machine built on stealing our tax money? Next, Morning Joe's panel wants to convince us that Trump and MAGA are polling at their lowest. [X] SB – Morning Joe 2 Approval rating all time low Ballot test Democrat candidates raising money… Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

August 2 2026; 7am: President Trump has once again pulled back from threats to escalate US strikes in Iran, cancelling a planned attack that was expected this weekend, saying that Mideast allies reached the “perimeters of a deal” to end the war. Mara Karlin, former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy, Plans and Capabilities in the Biden administration, joins “The Weekend” to discuss.

The contrast is the whole story. Trump had repeatedly claimed he possessed photos and video of a 350-foot gash being cut into the pool, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum echoed that proof existed. Yet the dismissal filing attributes the damage to a defective installation that began failing almost immediately, and Hawk argues no criminal conduct occurred at all. He walks through why a prosecutor should never hold a national press conference without personally reviewing the evidence first. Hawk connects it to a broader pattern: DC grand juries declining to indict in several high-profile matters, other indictments dismissed over alleged grand jury misconduct, and federal judges increasingly wary of DOJ representations. He argues the reflecting pool collapse, like the stumbles around the Comey and James cases, reflects a Justice Department pursuing targets without the evidence to back the charges, and predicts Pirro's standing is slipping.

August 1, 2026; 7am: Yesterday at Camp David, President Trump defended the anti-weaponization fund he and his attorney general have said is dead, and blamed a Democratic governor for a water-supply attack U.S. officials say was likely carried out by Iran. As Americans continue to face higher prices at the pump and the grocery store, Trump has received all-time low approval ratings across multiple polls this week, with just one-third of voters approving the job that Trump is doing as president.

Republicans spent the week chasing Anthony Fauci while their 2026 battlefield caught fire. Todd Blanche's nomination stalled, Trump's lawyers admitted the administration targeted blue states for political payback, the Iran war moved into a more dangerous phase—and nearly every major midterm indicator shifted toward Democrats.In this episode of Political Rehab, Republican strategist Matt Wylie and Democratic insider Matt Robison examine a disastrous week for the GOP—and why nearly every major political indicator is now moving toward Democrats.Anthony Fauci takes the Fifth before the Senate as Republicans revive the political battles of 2020. Todd Blanche's attorney general nomination stalls because the Trump administration refuses to provide two Republican senators with even the smallest assurance that the Justice Department's political weaponization fund is dead.Then Trump's own lawyers make an extraordinary courtroom admission: 283 of 284 canceled Energy Department grants were located in states that voted for Kamala Harris. At the same time, Democratic states are being denied disaster assistance at dramatically higher rates—even when those decisions directly hurt Republican congressional districts.We break down:• Why the Fauci hearing exposed Republican political weakness• Whether Todd Blanche's attorney general nomination could collapse• How the administration admitted it targeted federal grants based on election results• Why Trump's blue-state retaliation also harms Republican voters and lawmakers• What Laura Loomer's sudden conversion on Ukraine reveals about MAGA politics• Why the Iran war may be entering its most dangerous phase• How Democratic spending in Ohio, Iowa, Alaska and North Carolina is expanding the battlefield• Why Republicans are spending heavily in North Carolina but nothing in Texas• Whether Elon Musk can rebuild the GOP's weak turnout operation• How Trump's Medicare announcement created an instant Democratic campaign ad• Why Trump's falling approval and weak Republican enthusiasm could make him a midterm liability• What polling, race ratings and campaign spending reveal about the fight for CongressThe Battlefield delivers a clear verdict this week: Democrats won. Trump's approval is falling, independents are moving away from him, the generic ballot is shifting, five Republican-held House seats moved into the toss-up column and Democrats now have as many plausible House targets as they did before the 2018 wave.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 – Cold Open1:01 – Fauci Takes the Fifth as Republicans Relitigate COVID3:45 – Todd Blanche's Nomination Stalls Again6:21 – Trump's Lawyers Admit the Blue-State Payback Strategy9:46 – Laura Loomer's Shocking Conversion on Ukraine12:07 – The Iran War Reaches a Dangerous Tipping Point15:09 – The Battlefield: Less Than 100 Days Until the Midterms15:42 – Democrats Expand the Map as Republicans Abandon Texas18:44 – Can Elon Musk Rescue the Republican Ground Game?20:53 – Is Donald Trump Becoming a Midterm Liability?23:06 – The Scoreboard: Democrats Go Six for Six25:00 – The House Map Is Moving Toward Democrats28:32 – Dose of Hope: Technology Solving Real Problems29:56 – Karma Comes for Elise Stefanik, Elon Musk and MAGA
Ukrajinský prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj se mohl vracet z Bílého domu v dobré náladě. Dostal slib licenční výroby střel pro systémy Patriot a také bylo domluveno, že do Kyjeva v nejbližších týdnech přijedou hlavní Trumpovi vyjednavači Steve Witkoff a Jared Kushner, o což Kyjev usiloval dlouhou dobu. Witkoff svého času jezdil do Moskvy každý měsíc, ale Ukrajinu nikdy nenavštívil.
MAGA ve vztahu k Ukrajině obrací. Dluhové brzdy a demokracie. Nikdo by se neměl divit, že Trump udělal z USA kasino.

A collective sigh of relief was exhaled across the nation as Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all charges. Typically the reaction between the right and left shows just how deeply fractured the nation has become. At the heart of all this are the racist MAGA conspiracies being spun about how Black Lives Matter threatened to burn down American cities if Chauvin was not found guilty. Tucker Carlson melts down on air about the subject while claiming that Chauvin was lynched by the left. You can't make this stuff up. Unfortunately, it's what many believe. Finally, Michael speaks with Jane Mayer, the New Yorker's Washington Correspondent about the very latest in the New York DA's case against Donald Trump.To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policyLearn more about your ad choices.

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by Antoinette, co-host of Around the Way Curls and Can't Afford Therapy, for an honest and humorous conversation exploring friendship, politics, capitalism, relationships, and the difficult choices people make every day. The episode opens with the duo reflecting on their chemistry as self-proclaimed "opposites" before revisiting their memorable interview with Ne-Yo during the rollout of one of his albums, noting the irony that he later faced public cheating allegations after speaking about reconciliation and personal growth [ 00:00 ][ 01:02 ]. They discuss how timing and public perception can reshape conversations, while acknowledging how delivery often determines whether audiences embrace or reject an opinion [ 04:12 ]. From there, the conversation turns toward capitalism, billionaires, and economic inequality, with Mandii and Antoinette debating the role wealth plays in shaping society and public policy [ 06:43 ]. Their discussion naturally expands into politics and personal relationships as Antoinette explains why she couldn't maintain close friendships with MAGA supporters or many Republicans, sparking a broader conversation about ideological boundaries, political values, and whether friendships can survive deep philosophical differences [ 07:52 ]. They also examine the makeup of their personal circles by discussing friend-group diversity, intentionally auditing relationships, and Antoinette's perspective on not having close white friends [ 12:35 ]. The conversation continues into questions surrounding religion, music, and personal dealbreakers, exploring how shared values often shape long-term relationships and community [ 18:53 ]. The second half of the episode shifts into a lively "Lesser of Two Evils" game, where the hosts tackle a series of rapid-fire cultural, political, and everyday dilemmas [ 22:09 ]. They compare everything from Watergate versus January 6 [28:53 ], to navigating political disagreements within families [ 30:53 ], while weighing the ethics and practicality of boycotting Amazon versus Target [ 32:14 ]. The debate continues with conversations about Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Bernie Sanders, and the evolving direction of American politics [34:55 ], before turning to Jasmine Crockett's political approach [ 36:32 ] and broader policy discussions comparing student loan forgiveness, universal childcare, healthcare access, and competing public priorities [ 38:26 ][ 39:50]. Closing out the episode, Mandii and Antoinette reflect on larger philosophical questions about systems versus individual responsibility, using pop culture—including references to Silo and The Odyssey—to illustrate how people navigate complex societal structures [ 44:05 ]. They also joke about the realities of living in New York City, balancing rent costs, transportation, and everyday quality-of-life tradeoffs [ 48:05 ], before revisiting the legacies of Reagan and Trump through the lens of modern political discourse [ 50:44 ]. The conversation concludes with thoughtful reflections on hope, duality, transactional relationships, and the value of maintaining meaningful friendships despite disagreement, while sharing stories from their weekend together [ 55:27 ]. The episode wraps with final laughs and a heartfelt goodbye [ 01:01:45 ], delivering another candid, thought-provoking bonus conversation that blends politics, culture, humor, and personal reflection.

On the Weekly Roundup, Brad Onishi and Dan Miller breakdown three stories: 1. The GOP pursuit of Anthony Fauci over COVID era decisions and funding. 2. A new poll that shows 66% of MAGA supporters would continue to push for a candidate accused of sexual assault + Elon Musk's lawsuit against a law that bans nudifying AI. 3. The State Department's humiliating mistake in using an error-filled AI-generated map of Africa.

Sign up for our Patreon and get access to the full episode every Friday, plus special Live Shows and our community discord: http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman start with a war that keeps getting bigger while almost nobody covers it. Ukraine put a missile into an Iranian cargo ship in the Caspian Sea, an Egyptian port took a suspected Iranian drone, Iran-backed militias in Iraq are making noise, and China has a shipment of missiles headed for Tehran. Laura Loomer turned up in a room with Volodymyr Zelensky, preaching MAGA solidarity with Ukraine, which is not something that happens by accident. Jared makes the case that nobody in this administration is steering. The people who are don't hold office and don't care whose flag wins. Then Anthony Fauci in front of Rand Paul's committee, pleading the Fifth over a hundred times while his lawyer gets hauled off the floor. Jared and Nick get into why he's the test case and not the target, who the real target is, and why building bobbleheads of public servants was always going to end this way. Finally, the number that radicalized Jared: Americans put $166 billion into sports gambling last year, more than they spent on movies, books, art and museums combined. He wants it abolished. Nick ran those ads on the other side of his business and is still paying for it. What we're watching: Nick says The Invite is the funniest thing he's seen in years and to see it with a crowd. Jared finally caught Backrooms and can't recommend it enough.

It's Fighting Back With an Army of Immunity LawsMore than a decade after investigations found that Exxon Mobil had known about the dangers of global warming since the 1970s but publicly downplayed the threat, lawsuits against oil companies have proliferated. There are nearly 40 of these cases pending across the countryIn the meantime, the industry has been mobilizing a counterattack against the lawsuits with the help of the Trump administration and Republican politicians.Republicans are trying to pass laws to grant oil majors immunity to these kinds of lawsuits, with success in several states so far.Utah, Iowa, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Louisiana have recently signed laws shielding fossil fuel companies from lawsuits related to greenhouse gas emissionsOil executives have also gotten help from the federal government, following an executive order from President Donald Trump last year directing the attorney general to prioritize blocking climate lawsuits by states.This May, the Justice Department responded to Minnesota's climate lawsuit against Big Oil with a lawsuit of its own, just as the state's case was moving into the discovery phase. It said Minnesota was undermining “American energy dominance” and attempting to regulate greenhouse gases, which should fall under the purview of federal law—echoing the oil industry's well-known argument.Elon Musk Is Quietly Turning to This Fossil Fuel to Power His AI AmbitionsSam Altman Announces That the Singularity Has Arrived: a hypothetical future point in time when technological growth becomes autonomous, uncontrollable, and irreversible, fundamentally transforming human civilization“We are now, like, in the singularity ...

From Iraq and Afghanistan to Donald Trump, MAGA and Pete Hegseth, Kennard argues that the consequences of those years are now playing out at the highest levels of American politics. We explore the rise of the far right, Islamophobia, US military power and foreign policy, and ask whether the War on Terror helped create the political forces reshaping America today.Get Matt Kennard's book Irregular Army here: https://amzn.eu/d/09zq5TXFYou can find Matt Kennard here:IG: https://www.instagram.com/kennardukX: https://x.com/kennardmattBecome a member here:https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membershipOr give your one-off donation here:https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/donateListen to the audio version of the podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762Purchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merchFind us on:WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDYCfV5PO199ImLqZ34X: https://x.com/thinking_muslimLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-thinking-muslim/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslimBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thinkingmuslim.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@thinkingmuslimpodcastFind Muhammad Jalal here:X: https://twitter.com/jalalaynInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jalalayns/Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comWebsite Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.comDisclaimer:The views expressed in this video are those of the individual speaker(s) and do not represent the views of the host, producers, platform, or any affiliated organisation.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the nation's experience during COVID was quite horrendous and covering up for the Communist Chinese Wuhan lab—along with the U.S. government funding provided to it— was unacceptable. Sen Tom Cotton first raised the possibility of a lab origin. On Life, Liberty & Levin, Nicholas Wade, a former New York Times science writer who had written a long piece on the subject; as a serious writer from a liberal newspaper who was retired yet deeply concerned about the reporting, Wade's appearance on May 23, 2021, helped push the issue into the national mindset, giving him his first national platform. China has still not provided access to the relevant data. The claim that the virus jumped from bats to humans was always unconvincing. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right today and refused to answer questions before a congressional committee, citing advice from his attorneys. Sen Rand Paul denied the privilege claim, directed Fauci to answer given the existence of a broad pardon, and warned of potential action for obstructing a congressional investigation. But the situation is not clear-cut. This matter may ultimately reach the courts or Supreme Court after a contempt resolution. Afterward, the concept of reparations is preposterous and a deliberate effort by Democrats and the hardcore left to divide Americans. The Civil War ended slavery 161 years ago, that many current residents have no connection to it, and that New York fought for the Union rather than being a slave city. It's disgusting for Zohran Mamdani, a naturalized Ugandan immigrant, to lecture Americans on our history and claim New York was “very complicit,” while ignoring Uganda's own brutal history under Idi Amin. Later, the Woke Reich isolationists celebrate the president when he scales back military action and enters into negotiations with the enemy but are either silent or lash out against MAGA conservatives who support the president's military action against Iran -- carefully avoiding criticism of the president, who is calling the shots. They do this even though it is crystal clear that negotiations are not working, that the enemy has never honored any deals during its 47-year reign of terror (including recent ceasefires and the MOU), and that the regime's Islamist ideology would, in fact, result in it using nuclear weapons against us (as the president has correctly noted repeatedly). What the Woke Reich isolationists have never explained is what their approach would have been? Apart from slogans and name-calling, what would they have done? It seems they would have done nothing, meaning that the enemy would have finished developing nuclear weapons, and apparently, they're okay with that despite the enormous risk to our country and humanity generally. Furthermore, while most of them claim to support the president, obviously they oppose him having launched military operations against the Iranian regime. They are not supporting the president.

Steve Schmidt returns to the Daily Beast Podcast to discuss the extraordinary mystery surrounding Mitch McConnell's disappearance from public view, why he believes McConnell's team may be hiding the true extent of the senator's condition, and what Kentucky's governor can and can't do about it. Schmidt also takes aim at Donald Trump's handling of the Iran war, argues that the conflict has already spiraled into a much larger global confrontation, and delivers a blistering assessment of Lindsey Graham's political legacy. Plus, he explains why Democrats are blowing a crucial opportunity ahead of the midterms and why a Trump defeat could actually make the MAGA movement even more extreme.

Like the prophets he quotes at the pulpit, Senator Raphael Warnock feels he's watching his country descend into greed, injustice, and tyranny. He sees a MAGA movement “corrupting” his Christian faith and a president who seems to think charity begins (and mostly ends) at home. With his new book—The Crooked Places Made Straight—Senator Warnock lays out what Democrats must do to meet this moral moment: get money out of politics, resume the battle against poverty, reform the Supreme Court, end mass incarceration, and—crucially—defeat Donald Trump.

Trump welcomes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu to the White House on the same day as Lindsey Graham's funeral, a MAGA nut does a wild U-turn on Ukraine, and the freakout over Chinese Artificial Intelligence intensifies.This week Tommy and Ben cover…Trump hits pause on the Iran war after two weeks of nightly bombing amid concerns about dwindling stockpiles of US air defense interceptors, while the Pentagon goes to disgraceful new lengths to hide the casualties and costs of the war. Then Lindsey Graham gets the equivalent of a state funeral in Washington but almost no real coverage or accounting of his bloody foreign policy record. MAGA influencer Laura Loomer goes to Ukraine in the middle of a head-spinning shift from Ukraine hater to supporter. China rolls out new, cheaper AI models, while the US government refuses to regulate the industry. Finally: The Cockroach Movement notches a rare win from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the US extracts money and political concessions in Venezuela, Trump considers starting a new war in Mali, and Europe reels from historic heatwaves and wildfires. Then, Ben speaks to David Remnick, Editor of The New Yorker, about his recent profile of Gadi Eisenkot, Benjamin Netanyahu's leading challenger for the Israeli premiership and Remnick's observations of Israel over his decades of reporting there.For a transcript of this show, email the episode title to transcripts@crooked.com

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles take a look at Donald Trump's obsession with outlasting everyone around him, from the strange question of how Trump wants to be remembered to the political future he may be plotting from Mar-a-Lago. They also dissect JD Vance's new book and the remarkable contradictions at its center: a man searching for God while relentlessly pursuing power, trying to distance himself from Trump while positioning himself to inherit MAGA, and presenting himself as a reluctant participant in a political life he has clearly hustled to achieve. Along the way, Wolff and Coles expose the gaps between Vance's carefully constructed story and the reality behind it—and why his book may reveal far more about his ambitions than he intended.

At a little-noticed conference on political violence a couple of weeks ago, Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller employed the dehumanizing rhetoric of the Soviets and Nazi mastermind Joseph Goebbels to attack the left. And while they might want us to think they were just talking about the DSA, it sure seems that they meant Democrats generally—including those who might be legitimately protesting Trump's efforts to try to steal an election. Plus: Iran is not acting like it fears the United States, Lindsey Graham probably did more harm than good, and the Fauci drama is the latest example of the MAGA double standard about telling the truth.

Are we sleepwalking into autocracy? Dr. Mary Trump joins Gaslit Nation to discuss the terrifying psychology of her convicted-felon, traitor uncle and why "numbing out" is what the fascists want you to do. So listen up—don't check out—find your community, and mock the thin-skinned monsters into oblivion. That's how we win. What kind of childhood produces a Donald Trump? The same kind of childhood that produced Adolf Hitler: a tyrant father, proudly cold and demeaning. Where does the Trump family's misogyny come from? According to Mary Trump, Fred Trump was a sociopath who passed his misogyny and racism to his children, except for Mary's father, Fred Jr. She says that the women in the Trump family were largely ignored, demeaned, and treated like second-class citizens. Trump himself grew up a terror toward his mother. Brash, blond, and handsome by 1980s, coked-up, yuppie New York City standards, the young Donald Trump was Fred Trump's ticket to the ruling elite. Like Trump's mentor, the notorious power-hungry lawyer Roy Cohn, Fred Trump saw potential in young Trump to unlock doors to the halls of media and political power. Over the years, Fred gave his nepo trust-fund baby $400 million, which Trump would go on to squander in six bankruptcies and never-ending lawsuits for fraud. So, what is the skill that propelled him to the top—with Russia's very illegal help? Shamelessness. Mary Trump helps us get under the skin of the thin-skinned wannabe dictator, and, as both an insider and a therapist, provides us with the antidote on how to stand up to the Trumps' crime-spree madness. Demand accountability and relentlessly ridicule Trump with humor and joy. Mocking the aspiring dictator is an important reminder to him and the world that—as the journalist Dorothy Thompson famously said of Hitler—they're just little men.
