On today's episode, we discuss a grab bag of conspiratorial headlines, starting with the uproar over Donald Trump's new memorandum of understanding with Iran and why critics' reactions—rather than the text itself—may be the bigger story. The crew contrasts Obama's JCPOA “pallets of cash” with Trump's escrow-based deal that relies on Iranian behavior change and Gulf-state funding, while also debating whether issues like Iran's flogging of a singer for removing her hijab should factor into U.S. negotiations. They pivot to domestic culture-war flashpoints, including Major League Baseball Pride Nights, players forfeiting games rather than wear rainbow uniforms, and Bible verses on caps that leagues deem unacceptable speech. From there, the conversation ranges over topics like the Smithsonian's controversial exhibit equating punctuality and the nuclear family with “white culture,” allegations of long-running election fraud from 19th‑century “cooping” to modern homeless-voter manipulation, and a Nazi‑tattooed Maine Senate candidate whose comments about “overweight pansy” sheriffs go viral. The episode wraps up with lighter but still pointed asides on Tesla self‑driving updates, pool algae in the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, and how Trump's strategic use of profanity—and Charlotte's rare but potent cussing—can function as a rhetorical weapon in today's political theater.

Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), Vice Chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus and a member of the House Intelligence and Financial Services Committees, joins Donny for a candid conversation on antisemitism, Israel, and the Democratic Party's identity crisis. Gottheimer explains why he calls out double standards on the left toward figures like Hasan Piker while also condemning Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens on the right, breaks down the Iran nuclear deal and Hezbollah's threat to U.S. national security, and weighs in on a controversial Maine Senate primary. The pair also dig into AI policy and national security, the rise of democratic socialism among young voters, the 2026 midterms, early 2028 presidential contenders like Cory Booker and Josh Shapiro, and why bipartisanship has become politically toxic in Washington. A must-listen for anyone following Israel-Iran tensions, antisemitism in American politics, AI regulation, and the future of the Democratic Party. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hillary Clinton resurfaced at the 92nd Street Y to call Joe Biden's 2024 run a "terrible mistake" and dismiss Kamala Harris's nomination as not a "real contest" — until her own 2023 footage begging Biden to run exposed the lie. She then doubled down on "deplorables" and waved off a Nazi-tattooed Maine Senate nominee as having mere "bumps in the road." Larry O'Connor breaks down why Hillary Clinton's comeback is a gift to Republicans.

The two parties don't just run the game — they run the refs. In this News Nation panel conversation, Paul Rieckhoff makes the case that America's closed primary system isn't merely broken, it's rigged: party-run, party-refereed, and engineered to push both sides to the fringe while the 90-million-strong angry middle gets locked out. With independents now giving Donald Trump an approval rating in the twenties and an independent senator like Angus King already shaping Maine politics, the 2026 midterms are shaping up to be a referendum the MAGA machine can't spin its way out of. From there, the conversation moves to the powder keg in the Middle East — forty percent of the U.S. Navy in the region, tens of thousands of troops exposed, and what Paul calls 'the worst ceasefire ever' still producing live fire. Add a three-year inflation high, a president openly saying he 'loves the inflation,' fresh Epstein testimony from Bill Gates, and a Maine Senate race that just got a lot more interesting, and you've got the full picture of a summer of violence, volatility, and political pressure.

- The episode opens on SpaceX's blockbuster IPO, framing Elon Musk's leap to trillionaire status as a historic win for innovation, wealth creation, and thousands of newly minted employee millionaires. - Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are cast as reflexive enemies of success, with the show arguing they demonize the entrepreneurs, investors, and employers who actually build companies, create jobs, and pay the bills. - Graham Platner's Maine Senate campaign takes another hit as a new former girlfriend says he knew his Nazi tattoo was a Nazi symbol, bragged about it, and lied publicly when the scandal exploded. - The episode warns that Tucker Carlson could become a major boost to Platner by treating him seriously, even as the show portrays Platner as a fake working-class candidate built on lies, extremism, and anti-American grievance politics. - The broader message is that elite institutions keep rewarding the wrong people, from politicians who excuse border chaos and lost migrant children to city leaders who tolerate crime and media figures who attack producers while shielding frauds.

**The Double Standards of Power: From Border Failures to Tech Censorship** In this comprehensive broadcast summary, the commentary takes a scorched-earth approach to the systemic double standards plaguing both domestic politics and international diplomacy. The analysis begins on the national stage by contrasting the intense criminal prosecution of citizens using hate symbols with the political insulation enjoyed by progressive figures like Maine Senate primary winner Graham Platner, who successfully maintained his base support despite the confirmation of an SS Totenkopf tattoo. Turning to the border crisis and institutional accountability, the broadcast highlights Department of Homeland Security disclosures alongside congressional testimony detailing thousands of unaccounted-for migrant children. While law enforcement initiatives like South Carolina's recent "Operation Ghost Story" raid at an Abbeville casting plant target localized identity fraud networks, federal leadership faces sharp criticism for administrative failures—including an emergency hotline for trafficked children left systematically unanswered. The episode ties these structural failures to the global stage, examining the volatile shifting lines of the U.S.–Iran conflict. It lambasts a fragile proposed maritime framework that allows Tehran to liquidate billions in oil reserves while failing to neutralize active threat infrastructure. This bureaucratic overreach extends into tech censorship, analyzing European legal threats targeting Elon Musk's refusal to suppress online data, Keir Starmer's push for internet digital IDs, and algorithmic scanning protocols. The broadcast wraps up with a fiery debate on political will, arguing that the nation's primary hurdle is an establishment choosing opaque diplomacy over robust constitutional enforcement.

**Tattoos, Traffic, and Sepsis: The Left's Great Blind Spot** In this multi-topic segment, the hosts expose deep-seated double standards on the national stage. The monologue starts with the disturbing surge of Maine progressive candidate Graham Platner, who secured 73% of the vote despite ex-girlfriend reports confirming he has an SS Totenkopf Nazi tattoo. The host compares Platner's political insulation to a 13-year-old in Richland County, South Carolina, who faced full hate-crime enhancements for graffitiing a swastika, pointing out the gross hypocrisy of the establishment. Shifting to the border crisis, the commentary highlights Department of Homeland Security Head Markwayne Mullin's report that the Trump administration has rescued 146,000 human-trafficked migrant children. The host blasts the previous administration for staffing a child crisis line with just a single person—leaving 65,000 distress calls unanswered—and praises Florida's local law-enforcement deputization model over South Carolina's inaction. Finally, the segment transitions to a rare positive note on AI technology, celebrating a new software system in Florida hospitals that successfully cut patient sepsis mortality rates in half. Graham Platner, Maine Senate primary, Hate crime laws, Richland County, Markwayne Mullin, Migrant children, Human trafficking, Border security, Local law enforcement, Pete Hegseth, Sepsis treatment, AI medical tech
In this provocative commentary, the hosts highlight a perceived double standard in how hate symbols are treated in America based on political affiliation. The segment opens by discussing two recent instances in South Carolina—in Richland County and Hilton Head—where individuals faced severe backlash and enhanced criminal charges under local hate crime ordinances for spray-painting swastikas on property. The hosts contrast these local crackdowns with the national political stage, focusing on the unfolding controversy surrounding Graham Platner, the progressive candidate who just won the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate in Maine. Despite mainstream media confirmations and reports from ex-girlfriends that Platner sports an SS Totenkopf tattoo—the symbol worn by Nazi concentration camp administrators—his popularity among the Democratic base actually surged. After his main primary opponent, Governor Janet Mills, suspended her campaign, Platner's polling numbers jumped from 61% to a commanding 73% victory. The commentary sharply critiques the political Left, accusing primary voters of harboring a deep anti-Americanism and utilizing online platforms like Blue Sky to mask extreme ideologies, concluding that the establishment is willing to overlook literal hate symbols when they are attached to an aligned political agenda.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, host Chuck Warren is joined by guest host Tim Mooney for a packed episode covering Arizona politics, campus protests, election integrity, the 2026 midterms, and the latest true crime case making national headlines. The show begins with Chuck Warren sitting down one-on-one with Elijah Norton, candidate for Arizona State Treasurer. Norton discusses his background as a self-made businessman, his campaign for treasurer, and why he believes Arizona needs a leader with real finance, business, and investment experience managing the state's treasury. The conversation covers the role of the state treasurer, Arizona's $32 billion in assets, investment performance, the Permanent Land Endowment Trust Fund, Prop 123, and Norton's call for a comprehensive review of the treasurer's office and a "Doge-style audit" of Arizona's education system. Follow Elijah Norton on X: @NortonforAZ Website: https://nortonforaz.com/ Next, Chuck Warren and guest host Tim Mooney speak with Jessica Schwalb, staff writer at the Washington Free Beacon and a Columbia University graduate.

- The episode opens on San Antonio's stunning playoff collapse, turning a near-certain win into a historic choke job that hands New York a wild comeback and fuels even more celebrity-driven sports hysteria. - Knicks fans flood the streets after the win, smashing cars, attacking rival fans, and treating public disorder like part of the celebration, with the city portrayed as unable or unwilling to control obvious chaos. - The Karmelo Anthony case remains a central flashpoint, with the show arguing that political and media voices keep twisting a clear murder into a racial grievance narrative instead of condemning the killing. - Graham Platner's Maine Senate campaign is framed as a deepening political farce, with his support described as emotional, anti-establishment, and increasingly detached from the growing pile of scandals around him. - The broader theme is blunt: institutions across politics, media, and culture now normalize destruction, excuse violence, and elevate toxic figures while ordinary people are told to accept the breakdown as progress.

Perhaps the key to understanding modern American politics isn't an academic think tank report, but instead rambunctious cult classic films, like Caddyshack and Animal House, that pit low-status underdogs against high-status bluebloods, preps, and jocks. In an essay for Politico, author Dan Brooks argues that movies like these hardwired Americans to root for the rude, rule-breaking outsiders over the buttoned-up establishment, and it's shaping how people vote. Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Brooks to discuss how the “slobs versus snobs” movie trope can be a metaphor for American political parties, why candidates like Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner may be finding traction with voters, and whether Democrats can ever rewrite their role in this story.

Greg Kelly Reports | June 10, 2026 - The episode opens with breaking coverage of U.S. strikes on Iranian targets, framing the response as a limited but forceful move tied to Iran's aggression and to fast-moving negotiations that could still produce a near-term deal. - Graham Platner's Maine Senate campaign is portrayed as a political scandal in plain sight, with the show hammering his Nazi tattoo, questioning his military-based PTSD narrative, and arguing that Democrats have knowingly nominated an extremist fraud. - The show draws a direct contrast between Donald Trump's media accessibility and Joe Biden's controlled appearances, presenting Trump's long late-night exchanges with reporters as a sign of stamina, message discipline, and transparent leadership. - A major focus falls on the Southern Poverty Law Center and ActBlue, with the episode highlighting congressional scrutiny, Fifth Amendment invocations, and allegations that left-wing political infrastructure is built on deception, slander, and potentially improper funding streams. - The broader message ties together war, politics, and institutional trust, using Iran, Platner, NASA, Social Security, and the Epstein controversy to argue that Americans are being misled by elite narratives while real power struggles play out in plain view.

Who taught Karmelo Anthony that bringing a knife and using lethal force in response to a minor altercation was appropriate? Glenn also analyzes the horrifying attempted beheading of a man in Ireland. Glenn lays out some concerning facts that show that despite being the most connected, younger generations are experiencing a loneliness epidemic. Glenn warns of a society where the government is the arbiter of truth about its own elections, or else you get potential fraud like what's happening in California. Glenn gives three warnings about the Left's support for controversial Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner. Lastly, Glenn brings in Jason to further discuss the attempted beheading of a man in Belfast, Ireland; the Bubba effect; and the potential fraud coming out of California's elections.

Alyssa shares why she never thought Spencer Pratt stood a real chance in the Los Angeles mayoral race, saying you don't replace “incompetence with incompetence.” She also breaks down what she believes is driving President Trump's attacks on female journalists. The conversation wraps with a turn to pop culture, as Alyssa reacts to the 'Summer House' reunion, explaining why the Amanda and West drama has eclipsed Scandoval—and why she proudly bows down to Bravo superfan Jennifer Lawrence.

Todd Blanche, Brendan Sorsby, Graham Platner, Brooke Rollins, and Pastor Dave Chrest headline today's A.M. Update. The DOJ files denaturalization actions against 17 naturalized citizens whose rap sheets include child sexual abuse, H1B fraud, stock manipulation, and grooming — and Aaron says this is one bite of what is likely a very large elephant. Trump goes after Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Truth Social over the parliamentarian again, and Aaron wonders aloud whether Thune is using her as a scapegoat to explain Republican inaction to the White House. Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby wins a court injunction allowing him to play despite betting $90,000 on his own sport, Aaron compares it to the Iowa player who lost his career over a single $10 bet on women's basketball, and says nobody has any power in college sports anymore. Brooke Rollins gives an update on the screwworm outbreak in southern Texas and the sterile fly production ramp-up, Graham Platner refuses to drop out of the Maine Senate race despite the Nazi tattoo and the sexting scandal, and Aaron closes with HelloFresh's viral pride month post and a youth pastor named Dave Krist at Gateway Church who had a very different message for his congregation.

- Graham Platner heads into the Maine primary as a scandal magnet, with the show arguing that the worst material is still unreleased and that Democrats are knowingly rallying behind a candidate they cannot defend much longer. - The New York Times and allied media are accused of slow-walking and softening the damage, protecting Plattner instead of fully surfacing the allegations, texts, and behavior that could end his candidacy. - Maine Democrats are portrayed as fully dug in, with voters and national figures like Ro Khanna willing to excuse almost anything so long as Plattner remains a vehicle for stopping Trump and flipping the Senate. - California's late-counted mail ballots are framed as blatant election manipulation, with Spencer Pratt's runoff slot slipping as the episode argues Democrats are using extended counting windows to manufacture the result they want. - The broader message is that legacy media and political elites protect favored candidates, dismiss obvious hypocrisy, and treat ordinary voters like fools while insiders decide which scandals matter and which ones get buried.

Greg Kelly Reports | June 5, 2026 - The episode opens with alarms over a leak on the International Space Station, framing the aging station as a growing safety risk for astronauts and a reminder of why America needs to push harder toward the moon and beyond. - A strong May jobs report is highlighted as a major economic win, with the show arguing that better-than-expected job growth under Trump would dominate headlines if a Democrat were in office. - California's unresolved election count is treated as a flashing red warning about election integrity, with late shifts in the Los Angeles mayoral and governor races cast as proof that extended ballot counting invites distrust and manipulation. - Graham Platner's Maine Senate campaign is portrayed as a manufactured political product, with the show arguing that his progressive brand, scandals, and anti-establishment image are all being carefully packaged to sell a deeply flawed candidate. - The broader theme is that outsiders with judgment and loyalty matter more than establishment credentials, using Robert F. Kennedy Sr., Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Bill Pulte to argue that real leadership often comes from people the political class initially calls unqualified.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles dissect the growing backlash against Donald Trump's inner circle, from Stephen Miller's escalating deportation agenda to the stunning appointment of Bill Pulte to oversee America's intelligence apparatus. They explore why Republican senators are suddenly questioning the loyalty-first culture that has defined Trump's administration, examine the political fallout from Todd Blanche's rise at the Justice Department, and reveal why even some of Trump's allies are struggling to defend his latest moves. The conversation then shifts overseas as Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump face protests in Albania over their luxury island development, before turning to the Democratic Party's identity crisis through the controversy surrounding Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner and the rise of unconventional political figures. Along the way, Wolff and Coles debate war, authenticity in politics, Kamala Harris's failed campaign, and why the conflict in Ukraine may ultimately overshadow Trump's place in history.

President Trump's grand plan for the Washington DC skyline isn't the only thing shaking up the city this summer. Last week he appointed a man with NO intelligence experience to head up the top agency in the intelligence community. Bill Pulte, who serves as the director of the federal housing finance agency, is the heir to a building fortune and close to the President. He's rubbed some cabinet members the wrong way.And his appointment has sparked concern among even Republicans trying to reauthorize a surveillance program that's due to expire this week. The top Democrat on the House Intel committee Jim Himes will be here today. Nebraska Republican Congressman Don Bacon also joins us.Meanwhile, Democrats are keeping close watch on Tuesday's Maine Senate primary as their candidate faces some alarming allegations of past aggressive behavior. We talk with a top Graham Platner supporter, California Democrat Ro Khanna.Finally...should the government have more control over the exploding field of Artificial Intelligence? Plus a conversation about the virtue of courage in public service
Graham Platner is leading Susan Collins in one of the most important Senate races in the country, and instead of asking how Democrats can win the seat, half the party seems busy feeding its own candidate into the purity machine.We break down the allegations against Platner, what he has admitted, what he denies, and why the political background of his most prominent accuser matters. We also talk about the larger question Democrats keep refusing to answer: what exactly is the standard?Because Donald Trump has 34 felony convictions, was found civilly liable for sexual abuse, owes millions in defamation damages, and is still treated by Republicans as perfectly fit to govern. But Graham Platner, a Marine combat veteran and PTSD survivor running against Susan Collins, gets treated like an extinction-level event by his own party.Also in this episode: Trump cries election fraud while his own candidates are winning in California, Pete Hegseth's Pentagon slashes recognized faiths and leans harder into Christian nationalism, Republicans briefly flinch at a $1.8 billion weaponization slush fund before protecting the possibility of bringing it back, Trump's White House ballroom donors rake in billions in federal contracts, and the House moves to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War.It is corruption, hypocrisy, purity politics, and institutional cowardice all the way down.Keywords: Graham Platner, Susan Collins, Maine Senate race, 2026 Senate election, Democratic Party, Democratic purity test, purity politics, Trump corruption, Donald Trump, Democratic double standard, Graham Platner allegations, Susan Collins Maine, Maine primary, Senate Democrats, Chuck Schumer, John Fetterman, Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Janet Mills, Project 2025, Heritage Foundation, Independent Women's Forum, Brett Kavanaugh, Trump felony convictions, E.

Katie Wilson reverses course on World Cup surveillance cameras. The New York Times revealed yet another scandal about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner and it might be the worst one yet. // Bob Ferguson can’t say the word “woman” when talking about people that go through menopause. New York is close to passing a bill that removes the words ‘mother’ and ‘father’ in favor of gender-neutral language. Activists in Seattle are pushing back against a new data center. // Jason learned the hard way that he shouldn’t bring a can of creatine through JFK Airport.
Today's Gust Host : Tom Shattuck -Tom Shattuck spends much of the hour marveling at a Senate candidate's ever-expanding controversy list and repeatedly wonders how every new revelation somehow manages to be stranger than the last. -Democrats are portrayed as desperately trying to explain away headlines that keep arriving faster than anyone can finish writing the previous editorial. -Tony Kinnett (The Daily Signal) joins the Newsmax Hotline for an extended, fast-paced conversation about the Maine Senate controversy.

Pentagon Hires Jan 6 Insurrectionist. A Soldier Died in Iraq and Nobody Noticed. CBS Fires Scott Pelley. Trump's UFC Event is Off The Rails. Knicks Win!! The House finally did its job. By a 215-208 vote on the War Powers Act and a 218-204 vote authorizing $8 billion in military financing for Ukraine, Congress this week told Trump no on Iran and yes on Kyiv. It's shamefully overdue, it's mostly symbolic on Iran, and it took a handful of Republicans with actual integrity — Fitzpatrick, Massie, Barrett, Davidson, and Don Bacon among them — to make it happen. But on day 1559 of Russia's full-scale invasion, with more than 700 Ukrainian children dead and an American sergeant just killed in a training accident in Iraq that almost nobody noticed, this is the closest thing to good news Washington has produced in months. In this solo briefing, Paul walks through the votes, the cost, and the rot underneath them: a convicted January 6th rioter now assigned to the Pentagon's irregular warfare and counterterrorism section, the firing of Scott Pelley and the slow death of 60 Minutes, the disappearance of Tulsi Gabbard, the UFC turning into a political circus, and the Maine Senate race where Graham Platner's Totenkopf tattoo and a damning New York Times report have Democrats doing their best Biden 2.0 impression. He closes with Karen Lee Matthews' honorable independent run in California's 23rd, a reminder of where TAPS and the 988 crisis line fit in, and why the Knicks winning Game One actually matters for a country that desperately needs something to root for together. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the stunning election results from Iowa, where Democrats scored a major upset and suddenly put the state back on the political map. They analyze what Turek's victory says about the changing dynamics in the Midwest, the warning signs for Republicans heading into 2026, and whether Democrats have found a new path to compete in red states. Kander and Gupta also dive into the growing controversy surrounding Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, as Democrats wrestle with questions about electability, character, and what it will take to defeat Susan Collins and win back the Senate.

- Graham Platner's Maine campaign keeps unraveling as new scrutiny over Kik, his fake working-class image, and his mounting scandals turns him from Democratic hope into a national liability. - The show argues the Democratic farm team is getting even more radical, spotlighting a wave of socialist, Islamist, anti-police, and openly extreme candidates rising in New York, Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. - Spencer Pratt is cast as the rare anti-establishment threat in Los Angeles, with his mayoral run framed as a direct challenge to the corrupt machine that profits from homelessness, decay, and public failure. - The murder of Henry Nowak in England becomes the episode's most chilling example of institutional rot, with police, media, and politicians accused of ignoring an obvious injustice because the victim was white and the attacker fit the preferred narrative. - The broader theme is blunt: from America's 250th celebration to immigration, crime, and race politics, the left keeps revealing that it resents patriotism, protects the wrong people, and punishes anyone who threatens its grip on power.
