Jen Psaki reports on the confirmation hearing for Donald Trump's pick to replace Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin. Mullin is already a dubious choice to lead DHS, but a long-running feud between Mullin and committee chair, Rand Paul added a whole new dimension to why he might not be a good choice. Jen Psaki reports on director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard's testimony at the Senate Intelligence Committee's worldwide threats hearing, Gabbard was careful not to say anything that would contradict statements made by Donald Trump on his war against Iran, even when directly confronted with her own statements, obvious facts, or the responsibilities of her job. Senator Mark Kelly discusses the stakes of Donald Trump staffing important national security positions with unqualified sycophants. "She's a liar!" Rep. Maxwell Frost talks with Jen Psaki about what happened behind closed doors at a House Oversight Committee meeting with Donald Trump's attorney general, Pam Bondi, about arranging a hearing, under oath, about the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein documents.  Senator Mark Warner discusses his concerns about the safety of upcoming elections.

Can the Democrats finally seize on President Trump's increasing unpopularity and end their slump? It seems to me as though 2026 is providing them ample opportunity. But I wanted to know what they actually stand for. Have they learned anything about immigration? Are they ready for the new politics of artificial intelligence?

Tara breaks down the latest attacks in the Middle East and exposes how Democrats and mainstream media are spinning the narrative. From Iran's ballistic missile strikes on multiple U.S. and allied bases to CBS suggesting Trump “made it all up,” Tara lays out the facts, the intelligence, and the reality on the ground. She also examines the growing international response, including coordinated Arab strikes and Israeli operations, reshaping the Middle East in ways the transnational elite never expected. SEGMENT SUMMARY: Tara starts with CBS News' claims and Democrat messaging, highlighting Senator Mark Kelly's insistence that Trump fabricated the threat from Iran. She dismantles the narrative by detailing verified intelligence: Iran launched missiles against U.S. bases and allied nations, killing multiple service members. Next, Tara explains how Trump's decisive action disrupted Iran's plans, preventing further strikes while forcing global coordination. Middle Eastern allies, including the UAE and Qatar, have launched retaliatory strikes and taken diplomatic actions against Iran, demonstrating the far-reaching consequences of Iran's aggression. Finally, Tara critiques media spin that dismisses the attacks as “fake” or Trump-invented, exposing the disconnect between liberal narratives and observable facts. She underscores the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy, regional stability, and the importance of credible intelligence. KEY TOPICS: Iran's ballistic missile strikes on U.S. and allied bases Democrats and CBS claim Trump “made it up” Verified intelligence shows missiles, deaths, and injuries Trump's response disrupted Iran's capabilities Arab allies strike Iranian targets in coordination with U.S. & Israel Media misrepresentation vs. actual events on the ground Implications for Middle East geopolitics and U.S. strategy SOCIAL MEDIA POST:

Jen Psaki shares a dizzying collection of contradictions and nonsense from the Trump administration and its allies trying to explain the reason for attacking Iran, the goals of doing so, or even whether it's ok to call it a war. Senator Mark Kelly joins to discuss the incompetence of the Trump administration's handling of Iran and other national security issues compromised by Trump's poor choices. James Talarico won the Democratic nomination for Senate in Texas in a primary with remarkable turnout, a talented campaigner with a unique ability to speak to voters of faith, and with an opponent who is now emphasizing party unity. On the Republican side, and already acrimonious primary will be tied up in a nasty runoff election for weeks to come, leaving the eventual winner inevitably battered. And all of this takes place in the context of Donald Trump being wildly unpopular and finding new ways to upset American voters almost daily. Former Congressman Beto O'Rourke talks with Jen Psaki about why this year's midterm election holds promise to be the one that finally begins to turn Texas blue.  To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Please Follow Angry Male Vet Here: SubStack: https://angrymalevet.substack.com/ YouTube: @AngryMaleVet TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/discover/angry-male-vet Hawk and Angry Male Vet cut through the noise on the U.S. war with Iran, four days in and already without a clear objective, an exit strategy, or a definition of what victory even looks like. The conversation covers how Netanyahu and Trump pushed the U.S. into military conflict with Iran while Gulf allies opened their airspace and stayed out of offensive operations entirely. Rubio's admission that the U.S. knew Iran strikes were coming and did nothing to stop them draws sharp scrutiny from a combat veteran's perspective. The discussion covers the depletion of U.S. and Israeli interceptor missiles, Iran's deliberate strategy of using cheap drones and missiles to drain stockpiles, and what happens when the Iron Dome starts running out of ammunition. The purging of senior military leadership, including the firing of Iran cyber experts by Kash Patel just 36 hours before the war began, raises serious questions about institutional knowledge inside the Pentagon and FBI. Pete Hegseth's performance as Defense Secretary, Dan Cain's appointment as Joint Chiefs Chairman over 43 active generals, and Tim Pool's presence at Pentagon briefings paint a picture of an administration running on perceived loyalty rather than competence. The AIPAC money trail, the Tom Malinowski primary story, and Mark Kelly's shifting position on the war powers resolution expose how a foreign lobbying organization controls votes in both parties. The call to action is clear: contact representatives, reject AIPAC money, support the March 28th No Kings protest, and register voters for 2026.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as we begin day three of "Operation: Epic Fury", discussion focuses on President Trump's carefully timed decision to take out Iran's Supreme Leader over the weekend, thus launching a World War that will have implications on every level imaginable. On Sunday the President vowed to "avenge" the deaths of three U.S. service members killed in action as the conflict involving Iran deepens across the Middle East. Trump's remarks, his first public statement since the U.S.-Israel strikes that led to the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior Iranian officials, signaled a potentially prolonged confrontation. Also Iranian-Americans celebrating in the streets, the constitutionality of the wartime powers act, who will resume power in Iran and audio from an ignorant Senator Mark Kelly.

Hawk breaks down the rapidly escalating conflict between the Pentagon and Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude model, after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth demanded that Anthropic remove two core safety restrictions from its terms of service. Those restrictions prohibit using Claude for mass surveillance of American citizens and for programming weapons to fire without human intervention. Hegseth labeled these protections "woke" and threatened to terminate Anthropic's $200 million Defense Department contract and blacklist the company as a danger to all defense supply chains unless Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei agreed to his demands. Amodei said no. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's Grok chatbot, which previously generated child sexual imagery and declared itself "Mecca Hitler," has been cleared for use in classified Pentagon settings. Sam Altman of OpenAI is now positioning his company to step into the gap, exploring whether ChatGPT models can meet Pentagon requirements while maintaining safety guardrails. Hawk also covers the broader AI reality check happening in corporate America. Mark Benioff of Salesforce laid off 4,000 employees to replace them with AI and now says he regrets it. Jack Dorsey just cut 50% of Square's workforce for the same reason. Studies suggest 95% of deployed AI agents in corporate settings are ineffective. And Sam Altman reportedly believes there is a 1 in 5 chance that artificial intelligence destroys humanity entirely. The people designing these systems do not fully understand what they will do. The only thing standing between Pete Hegseth and AI-powered mass surveillance of Americans is one CEO with a conscience.

Laden with fiction and heavy blame aimed at Democrats, President Trump delivered the longest State of the Union address in history — a sprawling, combative marathon marked by sharp mood swings, sweeping claims, and flashes of visible frustration. Familiar boasts about prices, trade, and foreign policy collided with a reality critics say doesn't match the facts, while a late-stage retirement account proposal appeared unlikely to gain traction. Was this a show of dominance — or a speech revealing political vulnerability? We break down what mattered, what didn't, and what it signals moving forward.Presidential historian John Rothmann joins to breakdown Trump's State of the Union speech. The Mark Thompson Show 2/25/26Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin brave frigid temperatures with a combination of comfy slippers and raw determination to bring us this latest special KITM:  About the only thing worse than a Trump State of the Union speech is having to take it seriously the next day. Stupid, boring, lying Donald K. Trump said stupid, boring, lies for a couple of hours. Today, Dems have to pretend that there is something interesting about that. There wasn't anything to interest voters. There wasn't much to interest Republicans, as even racism and fearmongering can only go so far. There is a reason why Trump rallies empty out after a half hour, but most needlessly felt some obligation to stick around, if they couldn't manage to earn an ejection. Another reason Trump's State of the Union sucked is because Trump's state of the union sucks. This might matter to midterm voters, one would hope. Special elections sure portend well. The DOJ tried to take Trump out of the Trump-Epstein files and of course managed to get even more attention. Contempt sanctions go against the DOJ today for moving a man out of Minnesota against an order, not releasing him under the timeline ordered, and not returning him to Minnesota. Beta Pete Hegseth wants to be humiliated by alpha Mark Kelly again. Does Pete even lift, bro? Beta Kash Patel finally got to discover what testosterone looks like in the Olympic locker room. Trump was allowed to sniff their medal too. Allowing Kash, Donald, and Pete's fantasies to play out is the highest priority use of military equipment at the moment. Attorney General Brian Schwalb said that Congress didn't actually repeal the D.C. tax bill. Congress and paperwork, man!

Following the State of the Union, Sen. Mark Kelly joined Arizona's Morning News to give us his immediate reaction. Sen. Kelly also shared his thoughts on running for President during the next election cycle. 

This week Ken and Josh discuss the Supreme Court's ruling in Learning Resources v. Trump, throwing out the massive country-specific tariffs the president purported to impose under the Nixon-era International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The opinion was messy: 6-3, but with the six-justice majority not agreeing on exactly why the tariffs were illegal. Also this week, we look at a contempt order from Judge Laura Provenzino, putting a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney in contempt over the government's failure to return identification documents to a non-citizen released from immigration custody on her orders. We discuss how an order like this matters, and how judges could further escalate in the face of widespread noncompliance by the federal government in these immigration cases.Plus, we discuss a mistrial over a defense attorney's t-shirt, Judge Paula Xinis's rejection of yet another effort to detain Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Sen. Mark Kelly's exclamation-mark-laden preliminary win against efforts to reduce his military rank and pension, and a Minnesota judge's order directing the government to let ICE detainees talk with their lawyers. And we look at an all-timer performance from billionaire Les Wexner's attorney, who whispered in his ear during a congressional deposition, threatening to kill him if he says any more answers longer than five words.Upgrade your subscription to receive all of our episodes at serioustrouble.show.

Mark Halperin joins Michael to rank the top Democratic contenders for 2028 — and the results may surprise you. Why is Gavin Newsom leading the field? Is Josh Shapiro the real threat? Where do Kamala Harris, J.B. Pritzker, AOC, Pete Buttigieg, Rahm Emanuel, and Mark Kelly stand? Halperin explains his latest Democratic power rankings — focused not on who would win the presidency, but who is most likely to win the nomination. The conversation also explores whether Democrats will prioritize electability over identity in 2028, and whether the party shifts back toward the center. Plus: Trump's posture toward Iran, the continuing Epstein fallout, and what Republicans are quietly planning for the midterms. Listen in, and please rate, review, and share this podcast!

Buck's Book Launch! Clay Travis & Buck Sexton give a reflective and emotional acknowledgment of the five‑year anniversary of Rush Limbaugh’s passing, honoring the legacy of the man whose influence built the foundation of the show’s audience. Clay and Buck describe the day as meaningful for longtime listeners and express gratitude for the community that followed Rush and now follows them. Producers Ali and Greg created a podcast honoring Rush in the Clay and Buck feed that features clips going back to the 90s and highlights many callers to the program. From there, the hour transitions into a major milestone: the release of Buck Sexton’s first book, Manufacturing Delusion. Buck explains the book’s themes—how the political left uses indoctrination, psychological manipulation, and propaganda to reshape public thinking—and shares insight into his CIA‑related experiences that informed several chapters. Clay encourages listeners to buy the book, noting its relevance to current political and cultural battles, especially surrounding issues of mental health, identity, and media manipulation. The conversation pivots sharply into breaking national news: yet another mass shooting carried out by a transgender‑identifying individual. Clay details the disturbing pattern of recent trans‑identified shooters—in Nashville, Minneapolis, British Columbia, and now Rhode Island—and highlights what he calls alarming media dishonesty, such as outlets refusing to identify perpetrators by biological sex. The hosts describe the Rhode Island shooter, a biological male who transitioned late in life, abandoned his family, and ultimately murdered relatives at a public hockey event before killing others. Clay and Buck argue that cultural messaging about “affirmation” has normalized delusion rather than treating mental illness, and they question whether hormone‑related medications, untreated psychological disorders, or ideological extremism contribute to the rising violence. They emphasize that society would never affirm the hallucinations of someone with schizophrenia, so affirming gender‑identity delusions is not compassionate—it’s dangerous. The Crazy Left Congressman Jim Jordan, who joins to discuss the latest on Capitol Hill. Jordan outlines ongoing border‑security battles, sanctuary‑city policies, and potential legislation that would allow local law‑enforcement agencies to cooperate with federal immigration authorities even when state governments attempt to block them. He highlights the staggering number of criminal migrants released by sanctuary jurisdictions and the urgent need for federal preemption in immigration enforcement. Jordan also offers a broad strategic look at the upcoming midterms, arguing that Republicans must contrast their record of border security, economic growth, and school‑choice initiatives with what he calls the Democratic Party’s “normal versus crazy” policy agenda. Before closing the interview, Clay and Buck ask Jordan about other trending issues, including the Winter Olympics and the viral curling controversy, which he humorously weighs in on. The hosts then return to a high‑profile national mystery: the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. They discuss the latest update—that a glove found near her home did not match DNA inside the house—and reflect on the outsized media attention the case continues to attract despite minimal new information. Clay suggests that America’s fascination with true‑crime storytelling, especially among female viewers, is driving the intense coverage even as actionable developments remain scarce. It's Hard to Hate the Guy Clay and Buck preview their upcoming trip to Texas for the first major primary of the 2026 cycle. They examine the high‑stakes Texas Senate race, noting the competitive three‑way Republican contest among John Cornyn, Ken Paxton, and Wesley Hunt, as well as a brewing controversy on the Democratic side. The hosts break down the explosive dispute surrounding Democratic candidate James Talarico’s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—an interview CBS declined to air over equal‑time concerns. Colbert publicly blasted CBS executives on his show, turning the incident into a political moment. Clay argues that this conveniently boosts Talarico’s visibility while sidelining rival Jasmine Crockett, suggesting Democratic power players may be orchestrating a soft‑landing for their preferred candidate just as Texans begin early voting. Honoring Rush Limbaugh Clay and Buck give Rush Limbaugh a hat tip and honor him on the five-year anniversary of his passing. They also discuss the FCC’s scrutiny of political favoritism in late‑night TV, referencing FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr’s challenges to the idea that partisan talk shows should remain exempt from equal‑time rules. Buck notes that corporate media dominance by left‑leaning networks is finally being openly acknowledged after decades of pretending neutrality. The hosts compare the current era to the “Daily Show effect,” where comedy was long used as a shield to disguise political messaging. They argue that Colbert’s outrage reflects the media’s desire to maintain partisan influence without regulatory scrutiny. The hour expands into a wider election-season conversation—including the national implications of control of the House and Senate in 2026. Clay emphasizes that the Senate may hold greater long‑term stakes than the House due to aging Supreme Court justices and the potential for major judicial vacancies. They discuss prior examples, such as Justice Anthony Kennedy’s strategically timed retirement versus Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s decision to stay on the bench, underscoring how elections shape the judiciary for generations. Clay and Buck also take VIP listener emails and talkback messages, fielding questions about potential 2028 Democratic presidential contenders—including Mark Kelly, Josh Shapiro, and Gretchen Whitmer—and the role of intelligence, competence, and electability within the field. This segues into broader reflections on generational language (“back in the day”), the cultural reference points of the 1980s and 1990s, and how political memory shifts across age groups.

Last week, a grand jury refused to indict six Democratic lawmakers over a video they made addressing service members' duty to refuse illegal orders. Mary and Andrew hold little back as they discuss the government's attempt to chill free speech and persecute political foes. In an adjacent case, they review Judge Richard Leon's decision to block Secretary Pete Hegseth from demoting Senator Mark Kelly over the video, saying it “trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms.” The co-hosts then dig into the unsealed Fulton County affidavit and what it shows about the basis of the administration's 2020 election fraud claims, before concluding with a couple due process updates: Judge Boasberg's decision ordering the Trump administration to facilitate the return of some Venezuelan migrants unlawfully deported, and Judge Tim Kelly's decision in a case about death row prisoners being sent to a “Supermax” prison on the government's orders without due process, after Biden granted them clemency from the death penalty before leaving office.Further reading:Read Judge Richard J.

First, Senator Mark Kelly defeated Donald Trump's Department of Justice when a grand jury refused to indict him for speaking the truth by saying that military members must disobey illegal orders. Now, Sen. Kelly has defeated Pete Hegseth and the Department of Defense when a judge ruled that Hegseth may not punish Senator Kelly for exercising his First Amendment free speech rights.These rulings are good for the rule of law, good for the Constitution, and points of light shining amidst the Trump-induced darkness.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 59: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Just because we're paranoid, that doesn't mean Trump isn't out to get us. Trump has just accidentally revealed crucial details of his conspiracy to steal the midterms. It starts with the cadaver-in-chief, demanding of active troops at Fort Bragg – “you have to vote for us” – that’s in case the Generals or even the Joint Chiefs realize Mark Kelly is right: they HAVE to disobey illegal orders, ESPECIALLY Trump’s illegal orders. If it came to that, Trump would have the raw troops overthrow the generals And then Trump succubus Kristi Noem vowed to make sure Trump only lets the RIGHT people voting, electing the RIGHT leaders. And he’s already had ICE PRACTICE voter suppression – murder of civilians – in Minnesota. How do we stop Trump? Talk about it endlessly. Talk about his attempt to make the troops loyal to HIM and not the constitution. Talk about his attempts to seize ballots. Talk about his attempt to use ICE to intimidate voters. Talk about it, now, now, now. Trump is plotting to steal the midterms. We not only CAN stop him - we have to. MEANWHILE, HOW MUCH MORE CAN THE MEDIA BETRAY US? Jake Tapper - as guilty as anybody in the business of putting his salary ahead of all journalism - tells us to hang in there? An old boss of mine says something stupid. CBS decides to platform Stephen A. Smith, the Jill Stein of 2026. B-Block (55:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: What happened to Congressman Randy Fine demanding the arrest of everybody who enjoyed Bad Bunny's Swear-filled Super Bowl Show? The White House doesn't know how to spell "cue." And enjoying the Olympics? It's all crap - especially what it did to the history of the Olympics and the National Hockey League. C-Block (1:25:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: More media criticism. This disaster didn't start yesterday. By 2004, when an anchor on MSNBC told one of his viewers - live on the air - to "get AIDS and die" - and his boss said he had to be fired for that, his boss's boss (THE PRESIDENT OF NBC) tried to intervene to save his job.

The Most Dangerous Thing Trump Can Do. Why Paul Takes Cold Showers, Coaches Youth Football and Watches FallOut From Paul: “Chuck gave me the time and space to really lay it all out. From Trump's plans for ICE and the Pentagon, to the legacy of Vietnam in politics, to what I'm building for independent vet candidates with IVA and in independent media with my show. And, we talk football, morning routines, FallOut, and if I'll ever run for office. It's smart, fast and fun. And if you dig my show, I think you'll enjoy and appreciate it.Happy weekend people!” We've got a great bonus episode for you, featuring Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff's appearance on the Chuck Toddcast. You know Paul from this show and probably cable news, but you might not know that for the past twenty years he has been one of America's most fierce advocates for veterans since founding Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. Now, as host of the Independent Americans podcast, he's mobilizing a different kind of army—independent veterans ready to run for office and reject both major parties. In this wide-ranging conversation, Chuck and Paul explore why over 50% of veterans identify as political independents, how Pete Hegseth is transforming military culture in dangerous ways, and why the Pentagon was Trump's first strategic target for a reason. They discuss the troubling parallels between ICE recruitment tactics and military messaging, the chilling effect on dissent among military retirees, and why veterans like Mark Kelly are uniquely positioned to push back. Paul breaks down his Independent Veterans of America initiative, which is recruiting 100 candidates this fall—including potential Senate runs in Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, and South Dakota. He argues that one independent veteran senator could become the most powerful member of the Senate, and explains why breaking the two-party stranglehold starts with veterans who already wore camouflage instead of red or blue. They also dig into the Vietnam generation's political scars, why no Vietnam veteran ever became president, and how the all-volunteer military has disconnected most Americans from the human cost of war. Plus: football as democracy, cold showers as discipline, and why Fallout on Amazon Prime might be the most relevant show for understanding corporate power in 2026. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, we're joined by special guest Parker Get A Job for a packed episode breaking down corruption, voting rights, ICE, the Epstein files, and a DOJ that looks increasingly captured.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, First Lady Melania Trump calls in to explain how she successfully facilitated the return of Russian and Ukrainian children to their families after they were separated because of the war. She also discusses her new movie – MELANIA, which is in theaters now. Afterward, the Democrats in the House voted against funding key components of the Department of Homeland Security, including FEMA, TSA, the Secret Service, and others, while ICE funding continues through 2027.  Democrats are pushing demands that would severely hamper ICE's ability to identify, apprehend, detain, and deport illegal aliens, while granting increased protections to them. Democrats will orchestrate a propaganda campaign, with media assistance, to blame Republicans for resulting inconveniences to air travelers and disaster victims when they shut down the government. Later, several members of Congress, including Senator Mark Kelly released a video urging military personnel and intelligence community members to defy or turn against the commander-in-chief without justification.  Secretary of War Pete Hegseth took action against Kelly arguing that allowing such actions to go unchecked erodes military discipline and standards. But federal judge Richard Leon for issuing a ruling that blocked the Pentagon's attempt to strip Kelly of his rank and pension, calling the decision contemptible, stupid, and an overreach. Leon should retire or leave the bench now.  Finally, Don Hodel calls in to discuss his new book: Called to Serve: My Path to President Reagan's Cabinet and Beyond. Learn more about your ad choices.

 In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the latest news, including the fallout from Pam Bondi's disastrous congressional hearing, where she erupted when pressed on her role in the Epstein cover-up. We also examine Donald Trump's latest assault on climate policy after repealing the critical endangerment finding that determined greenhouse gases are dangerous to public health under the Clean Air Act, setting up a massive legal fight with global implications.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 58: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has attempted another coup. You may have missed it. Trump and Jeanine Pirro with the acquiescence of the hapless Speaker of the House and Porn Monitor attempted another coup: Attempted to get Senators Mark Kelly and Elise Slotkin and four members of the House INDICTED for obstructing Trump’s dictatorship. Tried to convict, tried to jail, for imaginary crimes of disloyalty to him that Trump bleated are quote “punishable by death” six military veterans because they told other Americans to follow the law. For expressing fealty to the Constitution, for publicly reminding service members that THEIR allegiance is to the constitution and not some rapidly deteriorating psychopathic despot. And ordinary Americans in a Grand Jury stopped Trump’s attempt to overthrow the government of the United States. For. Now. Which means the lesson Trump and Pirro and Johnson and the other deputy despots will take away is: next time don’t bother with Grand Juries, just have ICE blast them in the head. What to do to STOP “next time”- what to do RIGHT NOW in the Senate Continuing Funding Resolution - what to do in state houses before the midterms. PLUS: Trump's either-or: either he Narc'd on Epstein or knew nothing about his crimes. Either way, Trump is now the CEO of the Epstein Cover-up. And maybe even more disturbing, he is actually, seriously, hallucinating. Full-on crazy talk. Not his normal delusions: this is A Chinese plot to destroy the National Hockey League. He thinks this is really happening. B-Block (37:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: He won Olympic Bronze but was disqualified in the game of life. The three weird sisters are still whining about Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl: Megyn Kelly, Sage Steele, Michele Tafoya - the latter of two using language that matches almost word-for-word what was said by racists and sexists who called the ESPN complaint voicemail line to try to get THEM fired. And then there's the Twitter Rando whose 'egg corn' is as delightful as any I can remember. He's complaining about solitaire confinement! C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: In the old days baseball spring training wasn't already unofficial underway as of... last week. It was limited and exciting and one of my joys was going to it and reporting from it. So it's time to try to recreate some of that, because naturally I still have the tape of my 1978 Spring Training reports from Florida! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
