Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and ally of President Trump, was shot and killed Wednesday as he hosted one of his campus debates at Utah Valley University. A witness described the moment a single gunshot was fired, saying, "people started screaming." Investigators say it appears the shooter in the killing of Charlie Kirk acted alone and it was a targeted act. FBI director Kash Patel said law enforcement had someone in custody, suspected of the killing, but hours later, that person was released. CBS News' Scott MacFarlane reports. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was a close ally to President Trump. A fixture at Mar-A-Lago, he advised Mr. Trump on some of his Cabinet picks. He was also an early champion of JD Vance to be the president's running mate. In a four-minute video recorded from the Oval Office, Mr. Trump described Kirk, saying, "he's a martyr for truth and freedom and there has never been someone who was so respected by youth." Charlie Kirk motivated young Republicans through his organization, Turning Point USA. He used podcasts and campus tours to build his political movement. CBS News' Nancy Cordes looks at his impact. CBS News chief Washington analyst Robert Costa and former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy join "CBS Mornings" to discuss conservative activist Charlie Kirk's political influence. Nearly a third of Americans were born after the September 11th attacks. Nicole Sganga reports on one survivor who is working with teachers to ensure future generations never forget.

This episode begins with Mary and Andrew digesting the 2-1 decision from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals halting the Trump administration's ability to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals accused of being members of Tren de Aragua. Andrew calls the administration's recent arguments “outlandish” before moving to the questionable legality of the U.S. military's deadly boat strike last week – an unprecedented action which left eleven dead. Next, they move to Monday's Supreme Court decision undoing limits set by a lower court on how ICE conducts immigration raids. Plus, a federal judge issues a win for Harvard University on the topic of frozen and terminated funds. Further reading:  The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling on Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport VenezuelansAnd a reminder: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

En ImpoUSA:  Como Casa Blanca y Trump permitieron que su "desaparicion se convirtiese en una crisis en otra crisis?  Pudo disipar Trump la especulación sobre su salud?

Sigue empujando Trump a una Guerra Civil con su empeño de tomar por asalto las calles de Chicago y Los Angeles?

Mike Johnson's claim that Donald Trump was an undercover FBI informant working to bring down Jeffrey Epstein is nothing more than political fan fiction. It comes after every other narrative—calling Epstein a hoax, smearing survivors, and demanding the public “move on”—has completely collapsed. The idea that Trump, who partied with Epstein, publicly called the scandal a Democrat hoax, and routinely defamed survivors, was secretly the Serpico of Mar-a-Lago is absurd on its face. If it were true, the files would already be released and Trump himself would be shouting about it from every podium. Instead, there's silence, spin, and desperate storytelling designed to distract from the reality: survivors were ignored, Epstein was protected, and the files remain locked away.At its core, this narrative is just another attempt to shield powerful people from accountability by rewriting history with Trump as the unlikely hero. But it collapses under even the slightest scrutiny—because the contradictions are glaring, the evidence is nonexistent, and the cruelty toward survivors is undeniable. Rather than offer transparency, Johnson offers a bedtime story, hoping the public will swallow it whole. Yet the truth is clear: if Trump really was an informant, then we should all be demanding the release of the files to see his supposed heroics. And since they refuse, we know exactly what this is—another cheap distraction to keep the truth buried, while the survivors still wait for the justice they deserve.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

After a Labor Day weekend that saw a judge halt the Trump administration's attempt to deport dozens of Guatemalan children already loaded onto airplanes, Andrew and Mary had planned to start their conversation there. But just this morning, Judge Charles Breyer ruled the administration cannot deploy U.S. military to carry out law enforcement operations, as this violates the Posse Comitatus Act. Andrew and Mary provide historical context for the act and walk us through the rationale of this latest ruling. Then, they take a beat on moves to oust two more Trump appointed U.S. Attorneys in California and Nevada who have yet to be congressionally approved. And last up, they review several big cases on tariffs, Lisa Cook, and cuts to foreign aid.Further reading:  Here is Judge Thomas T.

 Devin Nunes is the CEO of the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). Devin begins the conversation talking about Truth Social on Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), is pivoting aggressively toward a multifaceted digital ecosystem that integrates cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, and financial services to transcend its origins as a social media platform. In 2025, key deals have underscored this trajectory: the February launch of Truth.Fi with a $250 million fund dedicated to mergers, acquisitions, and crypto-focused ventures signals a push into decentralized finance. By July, TMTG amassed $2.5 billion for investments in Bitcoin and crypto ETFs, aiming to capitalize on volatile markets amid platform revenue struggles. An August partnership with Perplexity AI enhances search and data capabilities, positioning Truth Social to rival tech giants in AI-driven content delivery. The most ambitious move came on August 26 with a $6.4 billion digital asset treasury collaboration involving Crypto.com and Yorkville Acquisition Corp., incorporating Cronos (CRO) tokens for user rewards, payments, and a new ETF, which fosters blockchain integration and monetization. The conversation then switches to the Russia Hoax, The declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in July and August 2025 have reignited debates over the so-called Russia collusion hoax, revealing what proponents describe as irrefutable evidence that the Obama administration orchestrated a fabricated narrative to undermine Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and subsequent presidency. These materials, including a long-suppressed House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) report and whistleblower accounts, allege that key figures like former CIA Director John Brennan directed the publication of implausible intelligence assessments claiming Russian preference for Trump, despite internal knowledge that such claims were based on four pieces of bogus or "ridiculous" evidence, and that Russia had not interfered with U.S. voting infrastructure as initially briefed in a December 2016 Presidential Daily Brief. The [DS] was searching for the Devin Nunes documents at Mar-A-Lago, but the Partiots locked them in a safe where the [DS] could not touch them.

On Monday, after Kilmar Abrego Garcia was taken into ICE custody, Judge Paula Xinis temporarily barred the Trump administration from deporting him to Uganda.

Last up, Mary and Andrew drill down on Trump's latest executive order related to a rapidly deployable National Guard unit, as he sharpens threats to send troops into more cities.Further reading: Trump's Executive Order: ADDITIONAL MEASURES TO ADDRESS THE CRIME EMERGENCY IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIAGarrett Graff's piece Mary referred to: America Tips Into FascismAnd a reminder: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

And welcome to the program on your Monday afternoon. And, boy, I tell you what, it is good to be back in a red state. I was I was up in in the blue state capital of the world. Two of them. We were up there in, Rhode Island and Connecticut over the weekend. And, man but did you know what? The only and I mean this. The only political banners, signs, or flags that we saw while we were in Rhode Island and Connecticut, or Trump? I didn't I didn't see. I didn't see any Gavin Newsom 2028 signs. I didn't see any old faded Biden Harris signs. I didn't see any old faded Harris Walt signs. I didn't see any of those things. The only signs that I saw. And one of them was a guy in in a pickup truck. I thought it was great. He was flying a, thin blue line American flag, and he was flying a Trump flag, and we gave him a good honk there. Way to go. Thumbs up, buddy. Thumbs up. Good job. Now Rhode Island voted for I think I think they got I think it was 51 no. No. No. It's like fifty six forty four, something like that, for Kamala Harris. But Trump was able to win some counties that hadn't been one since Reagan in that election. So that that was pretty cool. But, anyway, had a great time. Now I'll be honest with you. I was a little worried when I left to take a couple days off. Because the last time I took a couple days off, I came back, and it seemed like all you know what broke loose. You folks had not minded the store. But this time, I have to commend you. You did a great job. You did a great job while I was away. So while I was away, I'm sitting there and, you know, still working while I'm away, you know, scrolling on my phone, looking for for breaking news stories. And I see several stories that I just went, wow. Number one. What? Nine days with no murders in Washington DC? Nine days? People in Washington DC are like, man, we're loving this. We're we're able to get out there and and walk around and and do things. That's absolutely awesome. Right? Yeah. You know it is. You know if you are a a resident of New York City, I mean, Washington DC, that you gotta be loving life right about now. Right? Yeah. Then I saw that that big giant what was it? $400,000,000 fine against Donald Trump or something ridiculous like that from Leticia James, that got thrown out. Yay. Big win for Donald Trump. Then I saw that the stock market hit another record high. Another big win for Trump. Then I saw that Canada moved all the retaliatory tariffs on The United States. Another win for Trump. But this one, I had to kinda double check. Had to double check this one because I was I was scrolling down there, and it says, FBI rage John Bolton's home. And I was like, no. No. They did not. Shut up. Had to move along, move along, move along. And then it popped up again. And I was like, well, hold on. There's something else. And then we find out that, yes, indeed. The FBI did raid John Bolton's home, and I think it's absolutely glorious. Listen. Remember, this was the same guy that had no problems whatsoever with the FBI raiding Mar A Lago. No. No. Let's see how how many when that well, that seemed to be the catchphrase all over Washington DC when the FBI raided Mar A Lago. Well, let's see how this plays out. Well, let's see all of the well, it didn't play out very well, did it? No. It did not. In fact, president Trump talked about it. This is, this is Trump talking about the raid on Mar A Lago and John Bolton. Are more raids like that coming, sir? Are more raids like the one on John Bolton's house coming? More raids? I don't know. So you have to ask the Department of Justice. They raided my house. I can tell you that. They did a big raid on my house. They took away everything that wasn't pinned down, and they took away some of that too. Now they raided Mar A Lago. They started that. These were bad people that we had in our government before. They raided Mar A Lago. They went into my wife's area. They went into my son's area, my young son. And, what ...

It's been another wild week, after the D.C. Attorney General sued the government for attempting to install the head of the D.E.A. as D.C.'s emergency police commissioner. Following an emergency hearing, US Attorney General Pam Bondi backed down and re-wrote the directive. But Andrew and Mary highlight why that's just the start: it's no longer just the D.C. National Guard being deployed in the nation's capital, National Guard units from five other red states are being sent to the city, making a complicated stew of who's in charge and who has jurisdiction. Next, they weave this thread into last week's trial over whether California's National Guard performed law enforcement operations in Los Angeles, a potential violation of The Posse Comitatus Act. And with Russia and Ukraine so much in the news, Andrew offers some reflections from the 2019 Special Counsel's report that exposes Russia's long-held goal of taking over the Donbas region. And last up, Andrew and Mary fill listeners in on two DC Circuit cases that have their attention: a decision allowing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to be dismantled and another that allows Trump to withhold billions in foreign aid.And a reminder: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

When “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength” we are living in an era of alternate facts. Mary and Andrew apply this Orwellian concept to what's happening this week, after President Trump cited section 740 of the Home Rule Act to federalize the DC police force and send in the national guard to the nation's capital. They detail how the president was able to do this and why Congress will be the ultimate arbiter of this move. Then, they highlight some litigation befitting this theme, with Judge Breyer's trial starting this week on the use of the national guard in Los Angeles, and some decisions including not to unseal grand jury testimony in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, plus an Appeals court blocking contempt proceedings in JGG. Last up, Andrew and Mary take a look at Judge Henderson's opinion in the OMB case and why it deserves more attention than it's received. Further reading: Here is President Trump's letter to Congress citing section 740, courtesy of the New York Times.And some exciting news: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

Accountability or weaponization? That's the question Andrew and Mary tackle in their 150th episode together, starting with the distraction of the Office of the Special Counsel's investigation into Jack Smith for possible Hatch Act violations. In other DOJ related matters, they give some context to the Trump administration's continued battle to keep Alina Habba, a Trump ally, as New Jersey U.S. Attorney, just as The Legal Accountability Center filed bar complaints against lawyers who have represented Trump's White House in court. In another sideshow, Andrew and Mary break down what to make of a report on the “Clinton Plan” emails, declassified amid the Epstein controversy. And last up, they detail the decision out of the 9th Circuit Court which upheld a pause on ICE raids in California.  Further Reading: Here is the piece Andrew and his colleague Ryan Goodman wrote for Just Security in October 2024: Refuting the Latest Baseless Attacks Against Special Counsel Jack SmithHere is the 9th Circuit Court decision on ICE Raids: Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California And some exciting news: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

It's the arrest that's shocking America. The third-grade schoolteacher accused in the slaying of a husband and wife while out hiking with their two young daughters. The suspect was arrested... while he was getting a haircut. Now that hair stylist is talking, and she says it was like touching a monster. The revelation that singer Justin Timberlake has been stricken with Lyme disease is throwing the spotlight on the debilitating ailment that affects millions. Doctors say they are seeing a surge in tick bites with more people than ever coming into the E-R... Some are even calling this- the summer of the tick. A big makeover is coming to The White House. The Trump administration says it plans to build a massive $200 million ballroom to be financed by President Trump personally... with contributions from donors. The design looks just like the ballroom at Mar-A-Lago. This month's issue of Vogue magazine is drawing a lot of attention... not for its cover of actress Anne Hathaway, but for an Ad for guess jeans. The models are gorgeous, but they're not real. And.... that has real flesh-and-blood models in an uproar.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Here are the three big things to know this hour—   Number One— UCLA is paying out millions of dollars in a major penalty for creating a Jew Exclusion Zone on its campus – and creating a campus filled with discrimination—   Number Two— President Trump has addressed kicking Jefrey Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago—and Ghilaine Maxwell is trying to bust out of prison—as the saga continues—   Number Three— It's time to get lean and mean like a fighting machine – the Trump Administration is cutting back on regulations like we've never seen before – and it's a very very good thing!

If it's customary, it's probably not happening in this Justice Department. Starting with the latest from the Epstein controversy, Andrew and Mary unpack what to make of the two days Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche spent interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell. This, after a Florida judge denied the release of Epstein grand jury transcripts last Wednesday.And in immigration related news, three decisions came through in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia saga, just as the first claim is filed against the U.S. over one man's deportation to El Salvador without due process. Then, in an eye-popping move, Attorney General Pam Bondi's office filed a misconduct complaint against Judge James Boasberg for “making improper public comments” about the President and his administration. And before wrapping up this week, Mary and Andrew give some context to the former J6 prosecutor who's suing the administration over his abrupt firing.Further Reading: Here is the misconduct complaint filed against Judge Boasberg: Complaint Against United States District Court Chief Judge James E.

Beleggers van farmaceut Novo Nordisk zijn afvallig. Het aandeel wordt gedumpt, want de directie komt met misselijkmakend nieuws. Er is voor de tweede keer dit jaar een winstwaarschuwing en als toetje komt daar nog een omzetwaarschuwing bovenop.De verkoop van de afvalprikken van Novo Nordisk vallen tegen. Concurrent Eli Lilly doet het beter. Alleen profiteert het aandeel van de concurrent niet van de neergang van Novo Nordisk. Sterker nog: die gaat ook hard onderuit. Beleggers denken namelijk dat de hele sector overdreven is.Daar hebben we het deze aflevering over. Is de markt voor afvalmedicatie niet gewoon een hype?Hoor je ook over heel veel ander nieuws, want het was een drukke beursdag. Philips bijvoorbeeld, dat hield een zegetocht op de Amsterdamse beurs. Eens géén winstwaarschuwing voor Philips, maar juist een opwaardering voor de winst. Een bedankje daarvoor kan naar het Witte Huis.Waar dan geen muziek in zit, is Spotify.

Following the emergence of new evidence from messages submitted by the Department of Justice's whistleblower, Erez Reuveni, Andrew and Mary discuss its potential implications for the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the confirmation process of Emil Bove III. They also examine a Southern California ruling to halt immigration stops based on race. On the other coast, they look at a temporary block of Trump's order restricting birthright citizenship—a case where Mary has particular expertise via her role in a related birthright citizenship case: CASA v. Trump. Finally, SCOTUS paves way for mass layoffs of federal workers, and DOJ opens investigations into former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan.Listener Note: This podcast was recorded several hours before the Supreme Court decision allowing for the dismantling of the Department of Education. Andrew and Mary will discuss on next week's episode.Want to listen to this show without ads? Sign up for MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts.

This week's episode begins with a Supreme Court decision to allow the deportation of eight migrants to South Sudan without due process, despite it not being their country of origin. And after a comparative review of the new beefed-up ICE budget and what it means for deportation operations moving forward, Andrew and Mary spotlightthe latest from Kilmar Abrego Garcia's civil and criminal cases. Also not to be missed: the newly disclosed letters Attorney General Pam Bondi sent to tech firms assuring them they would not be penalized for supporting TikTok operations in the US, despite a federal ban. Plus: how a pardoned J6 defendant received a life sentence for plotting to kill the agents who investigated him, and what led to FBI agent Michael Feinberg's forced resignation.Further reading: Here are the letters sent from Attorney General Pam Bondi to Google, Apple and Amazon, among others. And here is a write up from former FBI agent Michael Feinberg, explaining his coerced resignation. Want to listen to this show without ads?

After Friday's Supreme Court ruling to limit nationwide injunctions, Mary and Andrew begin by breaking down what it means for future challenges to executive actions as they make their way through the courts, and what's next for Mary's birthright citizenship case. They also tackle the DHS lawsuit against all federal judges on the district court in Maryland, before reviewing the Justice Department's plans to prioritize cases revoking citizenship—aka ‘denaturalizing' US citizens. This, along with their discussion of ICE targeting migrant workers and using routine traffic stops to check legal status, shines a light on the legal limits of ICE's tactics.Want to listen to this show without ads?

The United States entered the conflict between Israel and Iran this weekend after bombing three Iranian nuclear sites. Andrew and Mary start this week's episode here, discussing the scope of presidential war powers and the norms of international law following the strikes. After, they shift focus to immigration, zeroing in on a whistleblower complaint from a former DOJ lawyer against Principal Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove among others, as well as the releases of Mahmoud Khalil and Kilmar Abrego Garcia. And after a nod to the Supreme Court's decision on removing immigrants to countries other than their own, Mary and Andrew touch on the 9th Circuit decision allowing Trump to retain control of the California National Guard, and what happens next.Further reading: Here is the compliant from the Justice Department whistleblower (courtesy New York Times): Protected Whistleblower Disclosure of Erez Reuveni Regarding Violation of Laws, Rules & Regulations, Abuse of Authority, and Substantial and Specific Danger to Health and Safety at the Department of Justice and here is more on the dissent from the Supreme Court's recent decision: Supreme Court allows Trump to swiftly deport certain immigrants to 'third countries'Want to listen to this show without ads?

Political violence is never OK. So after the horrible news out of Minnesota, Mary and Andrew begin with a breakdown of the federal charges against the man accused of murdering a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband and attempting to murder several others.Next, they move to an explainer of an appeals court ruling that temporarily blocked a lower court decision ordering the control of the California National Guard back to the state, while tying in the scuffle during Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference last week as Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and handcuffed. And rounding out this episode, Andrew and Mary note Trump's failed attempt to appeal the $5 million judgement in the E Jean Carroll case, and the arguments heard last week on his attempt to remove his NY state hush money case to a federal court.Want to listen to this show without ads?

Protests intensified in Los Angeles and around the country after the Trump administration stepped up ICE raids largely targeting immigrants working in service industries. And after Trump deployed the National Guard without any buy-in from the state, California sued. So what now? That's where Andrew and Mary begin this week, parsing the legality of using the military domestically, and how responsibilities shift when the National Guard is federalized. The rest of this episode is focused on the intertwined news of Judge Boasberg's sweeping decision to ensure due process for the Venezuelan immigrants deported to El Salvador, with Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return to the US, as he faces charges of human smuggling in Tennessee.Want to listen to this show without ads?

Media coverage over the economic impact of President Trump's tariffs has been robust,but not a ton of attention has been paid to the actual legality of them. So that's where Andrew and Mary begin, after two court decisions in the last week questioned the merits and where jurisdiction lies. Then they turn to the president's significant use of the pardon power to commute sentences and override convictions of some friends and allies, and what it says about maintaining a belief in blind justice. And after some great reporting from the New York Times, Mary and Adnrew detail some changes happening within Director Kash Patel's FBI, as bureau leaders are taken down a peg and emphasis on public corruption is dialed back.Further reading: Here is the New York Times reporting concerning the FBI: Unease at F.B.I.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, AG Letitia James essentially just confessed to mortgage fraud. She said she made a mistake by putting Virginia down as her residence, but she's a liar. Year after year, she took the deduction because it was a mistake? In contrast, President Donald Trump followed legal protocols, paid taxes on time, and had verified property values, with Mar-A-Lago worth nearly $1 billion, not $18 million, and still, authorities denied him due process. Also, ESPN analyst Ryan Clark dismissed Robert Griffin III's opinions on the Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese WNBA rivalry, citing Griffin's marriage to a white woman as a reason he lacks perspective on issues faced by black women in the league.  Clark argued that Griffin's personal life limits his understanding of racial dynamics surrounding Clark's popularity, while also suggesting both players should be celebrated without pitting them against each other. This is disgusting. Afterward, in the chapter "On Rights" from “On Power, individual and human rights, liberty, and equality predate and do not originate from governments, as underscored by the Declaration of Independence. This principle, rooted in the belief that rights are God-given through natural law, distinguishes the U.S. from regimes like Qatar, communist China, Islamists, communists, fascists, and autocrats, as well as domestic democratic socialists. The Declaration of Independence, along with the Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts Declarations of Rights, reflects the consensus among American founders that these rights are unalienable, not granted or revocable by governments. Governments are instituted to secure these rights, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed.  Later, Stephen A Smith calls in to discuss politics and sports. The Democratic Party marginalizes moderates, but they shouldn't be able to dictate who joins the party.  The last person the Democrat voters chose was Barack Obama - outside that, the party chose the Presidential nominees, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Contrast that with the Republican Party, where the voters chose Trump in 2016. They didn't let the party pick their candidates. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
