On February 4th, President Donald Trump said that all Palestinians in Gaza should leave the coastal enclave and go to other Arab countries such as Egypt or Jordan—a move that, if actualized, would mark a drastic chapter in the Palestinians' history of being ethnically cleansed. Israel immediately embraced the idea, with the country's war minister ordering the military to draft plans to facilitate a mass exodus of Palestinians from Gaza. Palestinian groups as well as Egypt, Jordan, and many other countries have roundly rejected the idea, but Trump and his foreign policy team continue to insist that they will carry out the plan which would end in a US takeover of Gaza.On this episode of On the Nose, Jewish Currents senior reporter Alex Kane spoke to Mouin Rabbani, a co-editor of Jadaliyya, and Tariq Kenney-Shawa, US policy fellow at Al-Shabaka, about situating this moment in the long history of Palestinians displacement, whether and how a Trump ethnic cleansing plan is likely to unfold, and how it will impact the ceasefire in Gaza.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Further Reading“With No Buy-in From Egypt or Jordan, Trump Appears to Back Away From His Gaza Plan,” Michael Shear, The New York Times“‘Trump Gaza is finally here!': US president promotes Gaza plan in AI video,” Mick Krever and Mostafa Salem, CNN“Palestinians in Paraguay,” Hadeel Assali, London Review of Books“Trump Revives Biden's Failed Proposal To Remove Palestinians From Gaza,” Matthew Petti, Reason“Netanyahu's Goal for Gaza: ‘Thin' Population ‘to a Minimum,'” Ryan Grim, The Intercept“WikiLeaks: Israel Intentionally Kept Gaza on Brink of Economic Collapse,” Joshua Norman, CBS News“​​Exclusive: Egypt's alternative to Trump's 'Gaza Riviera' aims to sideline Hamas,” Andrew Mills, Reuters“Trump wants Palestinians out of Gaza.

It's democracy vs. fascism in the most consequential election of our lifetime. We talk about its implications for border communities. Also, Todd talks about his latest reporting from Mexico, where migrants are continually being sent back to the country's southern border, creating a cycle of futility and suffering. Melissa recalls reporting on Trump's Operation Faithful Patriot, in which Trump set up military camps at the U.S. southern border before the 2018 midterm election. He also used special Border Patrol teams to kidnap protesters in Portland, Oregon. If he's elected, it will be much worse this time. We also discuss Kamala Harris's tough stance on border security and the bipartisan bill rejected by Trump, and the broader implications of this for human rights and migration. And we get into misconceptions about “open borders,” and we talk about the role of “robodogs” and other technology in border enforcement. And much more. Give it a listen and leave a comment. How are you feeling leading up to November 5? Leave a comment Also, during the podcast, neither Todd nor Melissa could remember the name of a great book on immigration policy under the Trump administration  (it's been that kind of a month): it's Border Wars: Inside Trump's Assault on Immigration, by Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael Shear. It's chock-full of details about what went down inside the administration during that chaotic era. And here's a post featuring the infamous robodogs from March, when Todd crashed the annual Border Security expo in El Paso, Texas, even though the expo banned journalists. And one last thing—don't forget to vote. Our democracy depends on it!

Nathaniel and Noah interview two-time Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Michael Shear, who currently writes for the New York Times as a White House correspondent. Shear, a 1990 graduate of Claremont McKenna College, shares his career path, his thoughts on the current state of media, and some reflections on the reporting of the Virginia Tech shooting in this thought provoking episode.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/06/2023): 3:05pm- The Supreme Court of the United States has denied West Virginia's emergency request to “lift an appeals court's injunction, which enabled a transgender girl to compete on her middle school's female teams until the three-judge panel reaches a final decision.” According to reporting from The Hill's Zach Schonfeld and Brooke Migdon, “Justice Samuel Alito in a statement joined by Justice Clarence Thomas dissenting from the decision said the case ‘concerns an important issue that this Court is likely to be required to address in the near future.'” Though, as Rich notes, the title of the article is incredibly misleading, you can read more here: https://thehill.com/homenews/3937891-supreme-court-rules-west-virginia-transgender-athletes-can-compete-on-female-sports-teams/ 3:30pm- FACT CHECK: According to a misleading headline from the Miami Herald the “13-year-old son of Rebekah Jones, whistleblower who clashed with DeSantis, arrested over memes.” Christina Pushaw, a political aide for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, notes that “he threatened to shoot up his middle school and stab classmates who angered him.” 3:35pm- According to Leah Barkoukis of Townhall, “[d]uring former President Trump's speech at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday following his arraignment in a Manhattan courthouse, ABC News blurred out the message written on his podium. ‘TEXT TRUMP to 88022' was displayed as a way to fundraise for his presidential campaign, but the news organization did not want their viewers to see…” Interestingly, the news organization did not blur a text-to-donate number displayed during a recent President Joe Biden speech.

In this episode of The Bald Brad Show, we cover two heated clashes in American politics. First, New York Times reporter Michael Shear challenges White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre over the Biden administration's selective silence on former President Donald Trump's legal matters. Shear pressed Jean-Pierre on why the administration had not commented on the 34 felony charges Trump is facing from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg involving a hush-money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Second, Rep. Dan Crenshaw's comments on gun control in the wake of the Nashville school shooting cause controversy on CNN's State of the Union. Host Dana Bash challenges Crenshaw on his support for more guns in schools, pointing out that many of the deadliest shootings in the US have been committed with an AR-15. Finally, we discuss the recent indictment of former President Trump over hush-money paid to Stormy Daniels. Don Jr. and other Trump supporters respond to the news with outrage, calling it "weaponized justice" and claiming it is part of a larger effort to silence conservatives. We discuss the legal and political implications of Trump becoming the first former president to face criminal charges and what it could mean for the future of American politics.

McCarthy and Biden meet one on one to negotiate raising the debt limit. Plus, the seemingly stagnant conversation around police reform in the U.S. Join moderator Yamiche Alcindor, Ayesha Rascoe of NPR, Michael Shear of The New York Times, Ryan Nobles of NBC News and Susan Page of USA Today to discuss this and more.

Hour 1 -  Good Monday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: Kevin McCarthy was elected House speaker in the 15th floor vote. Members had to physically restrain Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) from going at Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) after the 14th failed attempt to elect Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as speaker of the House. After 2 years, President Biden decided to visit the southern border. Gov. Greg Abbott made a surprise visit to El Paso to deliver a note to President Biden as he stepped off Air Force One for his brief visit to the U.S.-Mexico border. New York Times reporter Michael Shear cornered White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and National Security Council spokesman John Kirby — during a Friday briefing — about the administration's handling of the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.

An immigrant's unpredictable journey to America doesn't end when they get to the border. Political stunts by Governors Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis sending asylum seekers to the steps of the U.S. Capitol and Martha's Vineyard is the latest reminder. Andy speaks with two people embedded in the journey to the U.S., LA Times reporter Molly O'Toole and New York Times reporter Michael Shear, who explain the messy, lengthy process asylum seekers face. They discuss why deterrence policies don't work, the flawed myths behind “good” and “bad” immigrants, and why we'll see more Afghan immigrants crossing through Central America.

12 million Americans have lost their unemployment benefits, eviction moratoriums are set to expire at the end of the year, and the government could shut down Monday night as President Trump still has not signed the coronavirus relief and government spending package.

The 2017 National Security Strategy states that “economic security is national security.” Chris, Zack, and Melanie get together to discuss how the United States might strengthen and use its economic power in an increasingly competitive and connected world to enhance our national security. They ask if our political leadership is capable of defining goals and assessing means to achieve them, how much the government (taxpayers) should support technological research, and what benefits and risks that might carry. Can we prevent public investments in domestic innovation from being a source of cronyism and inefficiency? What criteria should we use to determine how resources are distributed, and what should we expect in return? Any successful agenda will require domestic and international action. Do we have the political will to make smart reforms to laws and regulations, or will entrenched interests and stale systems stop even incremental changes? How can we manage international partnerships in a way that will promote American prosperity and security? Chris has a grievance for over regulation, Zack applauds David Stilwell for setting forth a new U.S.-South China Sea policy, and Melanie criticizes the administration for its campaign to undermine Dr. Fauci.   Links David H.

It's clear proof he is the race's leading progressive, but the narrow victory suggests challenges ahead. Now it's on to Nevada. Latinos are a major force in that Democratic contest -- a giant test for two Midwestern moderates with a New Hampshire bounce but little support so far in communities of color: Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar.

Before joining the Times, Shear spent eighteen years writing about local, state, and national politics at The Washington Post. In this wide-ranging discussion, Mike discusses his experience reporting on immigration before and after the 2016 election and how it led to co-writing his first book, "Border Wars."

President Trump responding a short time ago to Iranian airstrikes on bases in Iraq, with a mixed message. The President spoke for just over nine minutes with his military and national security leadership behind him. On the one hand, he said there are opportunities to work with Iran.

On today's panel: Margaret Talev with Axios , Michael Shear with The New York Times, and Dan Lamothe and Seung Min Kim with The Washington Post Also, on today's program: Former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Doug Silliman, plus CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Frederik Pleitgen, Sam Kiley, Jeff Zeleny, Manu Raju, and Kylie Atwood

A Republican Senator speaks out against the GOP leadership, saying she's "disturbed" by Senator Mitch McConnell's handling of the impeachment trial. As Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls the House impeachment vote "inspiring" -- President Trump hopes it inspires his supporters. We look at his fiery 2020 campaign push. But today, the President's message is a warm holiday wish. Today's panel: CNN's Lauren Fox, NPR's Tamara Keith and Asma Khalid, and Michael Shear with The New York Times Also on the program: CNN's Boris Sanchez, Dana Bash and Kylie Atwood

The President is impeached, and his fate now rests with the Senate. The Senate's Republican leader calls the House process rushed and unfair and says there is no way the President will be convicted and removed by from office. A stain on his legacy, typos in his tweets and anger in his words -- President Trump is lashing out. And Speaker Nancy Pelosi says House Democrats have a spring in their step the morning after the historic votes.

Tragedy this morning at a major military base in Florida. A gunman kills at least three people, and injures many more. The latest on the shooting and the FBI probe into how it happened. Plus, a gangbusters jobs report. The economy added 266,000 new jobs last month, brushing off a global slowdown and trade tensions. Wall street sees reasons to cheer, and so does the president's re-election campaign. And a key deadline just hours away: the white house must decide whether to participate in house hearings next week as impeachment articles are drafted. House speaker Nancy Pelosi says democrats have no choice, and she recalls a very different republican standard in the last impeachment fight. Today's panel: CNN's Dana Bash, Michael Shear with The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal's Tarini Parti, and Jackie Kucinich with the Daily Beast Also on the program: CNN's Nic Robertson, Ariane de Vogue, and Christine Romans

The impeachment inquiry goes public with the first round of open hearings this week. It comes as top administration aides are refusing to testify - and looking to the courts to intervene. Will Democrats be able to make the case that President Trump abused his office - and what will the Republican defense be? Plus, a 2020 wildcard - Michael Bloomberg thinks the Democrats already in the race can't beat President Trump, and could shake things up with a late entry. Today's panel: the AP's Julie Pace, Michael Shear of the New York Times, CNN's Abby Phillip, and Jackie Kucinich of the Daily Beast.

A combative President Trump answers reporters' questions at the White House -- his tone reflecting the high stakes now that public impeachment hearings are just days away. And House Democrats release closed-door testimony from two more key impeachment witnesses. Plus, the President's Chief of Staff defies an impeachment subpoena. The President says letting Mick Mulvaney testify would legitimize the inquiry. Democrats say it is more obstruction, and insist Mulvaney is central to the Ukraine quid pro quo. And Michael Bloomberg is once again flirting with a 2020 Presidential bid. Many Democrats scoff, but team Bloomberg sees an opening amid a vulnerable field. On today's panel: Melanie Zanona with POLITICO, CNN's Jeff Zeleny, Michael Shear with The New York Times, and Asma Khalid with NPR Also on today's program: CNN's Manu Raju and Sarah Westwood

The former vice president is retracing his roots today in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to make the case he can win back blue collar voters and defeat President Trump.

Plus, President Trump abandons a key ally in the Middle East and draws bipartisan storm - and cancels plans to host the G7 at his Florida resort after pushback from GOP allies. And Bernie Sanders draws a crowd in New York - and scores a big progressive endorsement.

October 6, 2019: Masha Gessen, Oliver Darcy, Juliet Huddy, Michael Shear, Barbara Res, Douglas Heye, Jess McIntosh and Robert Leonard join Brian Stelter.

President Trump asks for foreign election help - at the same time a key impeachment witness is being questioned on Capitol Hill about that very thing. The President's anger against Democrats pushing for impeachment is raw and very public. In contrast, the Vice President's team is working frantically - but behind the scenes - to try to shield him from any Ukraine backlash. And Bernie Sanders says he'll be on the debate stage in two weeks, despite undergoing a hear procedure this week. Today's panel: Julie Hirschfeld Davis with The New York Times, Michael Shear with The New York Times, Laura Barrón-López with POLITICO and Julie Pace with Associated Press Also on today's show: CNN's Kaitlan Collins and Manu Raju

Also on the Program: CNN's Kaitlan Collins and Diplomatic And Military Analyst, Retired Rear Admiral John Kirby.

Fallout today from a feisty 10-candidate Democratic debate. Joe Biden mixes it up with Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders on health care, and two contenders who made Biden's age and stamina an issue last night stage a hasty retreat the morning after. Plus, Beto O'Rourke adds a "hell yes" when asked if he would push a mandatory buy back of assault weapons. It is a line that could help him in the Democratic primary, but a position most Democrats see as an impossible sell in a general election. And President Trump gets in a few jabs at his potential Democratic opponents in a speech at the GOP retreat in Baltimore. On today's panel: Julie Pace with Associated Press, CNN's Jeff Zeleny, Michael Shear with The New York Times, and Tarini Parti with The Wall Street Journal

Yet another mass shooting in America - seven people killed along a highway in West Texas, with the gunman dead after a shootout with police. Meanwhile, on the East Coast, residents prepare for Hurricane Dorian - barreling down on the U.S. mainland as a "catastrophic" Category Five storm. Plus - voters are growing more pessimistic about the economy, but President Trump insists there's nothing to worry about. And the 2020 frontrunners prepare for their most important debate yet, with Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren at center stage. Manu Raju in the anchor chair.

This after the Democratic Congresswoman asks for permission to see family in the Palestinian territories, then says never mind when Israel says yes. Plus, a new complication in the China challenge: The White House approves a major arms sale to Taiwan -- something sure to anger Beijing at an already tense time in the trade war. And just an August 2019 snapshot, but a new poll shows Elizabeth Warren on the rise among Democrats. And it shows President Trump running well behind all of the leading Democrats.

Also on the Program: CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Jeff Zeleny, and Cristina Alesci.

(3/20/19) For over two years, Republicans in Congress have given President Trump nearly unanimous support. Yet, according to Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Michael Shear’s March 14 New York Times article “Congress Has a Breaking Point.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has already been running attack ads against members who are up for re-electiom next year and who supported the repeal of the privacy rules. These members include Jeff Flake of Arizona and Dean Heller of Nevada. Daniel Strauss, Zack Kopplin, John Farrell, Jeff Greenfield, David Sliders, Alex Byers, Austin Wright, and Martin Matishak cover this in Politico.   At least one state, however, is developing its own set of privacy rules. The state of Minnesota passed its own privacy bill last week. The FCC's net neutrality rules are expected to be on the chopping block next. -- Wikileaks has struck again, this time releasing details about the CIA's Marble Framework, which shows how the CIA obfuscates itself when it is surveilling targets. This leak is considered to be especially damaging because it demonstrates how the CIA is able to mask its identity and cover its tracks when it conducts online surveillance. Ellen Nakishima reports in The Washington Post. -- Federal Law enforcement officials now say terrorists have figured out how to hide bombs in laptops and other devices in a way that evades airport screeners. So authorities are now considering expanding the device ban the White House began implementing a couple of weeks ago. Evan Perez reports for CNN. -- The once-thriving White House Office of Science and Technology Policy--OSTP--which was active under the Obama administration and staffed with elite Silicon Valley insiders and technologists, is now a ghost town. Michael Shear and Cecilia Kang report for The New York Times that the office is down from 24 to just 1 staffer. -- In another blow to the affordable internet access program known as Lifeline, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said last week that he would allow states to decide which companies can participate to dole out discounts to help low-income people afford broadband. The decision came a few months after Pai announced he'd cut 9 companies from the program. Now, in a shift, he doesn't think the federal government should be involved in providing broadband to the poor at all via the Lifeline program. Ali Breland reports in the Hill. -- Finally, Rebecca Ballhaus at the Wall Street Journal reported that the White House has stopped keeping visitor logs. Under the Obama administration, the log was freely shared with the public online.

Bill Bennett, sitting in for his friend Michael Medved, was joined by Robert Costa to discuss where Donald Trump is at in the polls and whether he can win. The infamous tape of Trump is causing a whole lot of unjustified hysteria, argues Dennis Prager. Bennett spoke with Byron York about the state of the polls. Bennett also talked with Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence about the huge enthusiasm factor for Trump. Hugh Hewitt interviewed Senator Tom Cotton to talk about the importance of protecting down ballot candidates on Election Day. Hewitt spoke with Michael Shear about the recent Podesta e-mails that lend insight into the Clinton campaign.

My guest today is Yolanda Rondon (@yolandarondon)—Staff Attorney for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). Her work focuses on immigration and on issues related to the surveillance, racial profiling, employment discrimination and hate crimes committed against Arab Americans. Prior to joining ADC, Yolanda worked for the Legal Aid Society of Cleveland and as a clerk for Chief Administrative Judge Charetta Harrington at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. While in law school, she served as a law clerk in Israel, working on cases involving Eritrean and Ethiopian refugees. Yolanda has written numerous briefs and appeared in an amicus brief before Supreme Court of the United States in EEOC v. Abercrombie and Fitch: This was the case in which a devout Muslim woman applied for a job at clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch and didn't get the job—she was told it was because she wore a headscarf and the company had a no caps policy. Yolanda is a graduate of the State University of New York College at Buffalo and received a SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence. She earned her Juris Doctor at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 2013. In this episode, we discussed: Historical examples of the surveillance of Arab Americans pre- and post-September 11th. How incidental data collection practices circumvent Constitutional due process and Fourth Amendment requirements. Key policy considerations policymakers should consider regarding the surveillance of Arab-Americans and other people of color. Resources: Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) Injustices: The Supreme Court's History of Comforting the Comfortable and Afflicting the Afflicted by Ian Millhiser THE NEWS Michael Shear at the New York Times reported that last week that DCLeaks.com released Colin Powell's emails to the public, and the Democratic National committee was hacked into once again, an act many officials still believe was committed by the Russian government. Powell's emails revealed how he *really* feels about Donald Trump and the Clintons. He wrote that Trump embraced a QUOTE "racist" movement when he questioned President Obama's nationality. About Hillary, Powell wrote about his resentment towards Clinton "minions", as he called them, who sought to QUOTE "drag" Powell into the Clinton email controversy by revealing the fact that Powell himself kept at least some of his official communications off the State Department's servers when HE served as State Secretary. He said he had to  QUOTE “throw a mini tantrum” in the Hamptons to get Clinton staffers to keep him out of it. Powell also called Dick Cheney an idiot in one of the emails and referred to former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as “the idiot Rummy”. But Powell saved his worst vitriol for Bill Clinton, suggesting that Clinton still cheats on Hillary. Also, William Cummings at USA Today reports that Guccifer 2.0 hacked into the DNC once again last week, this time revealing information on the DNC's finances as well as personal contact info, including Clinton running mate Tim Kaine's personal mobile phone number. Interim DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile is urging DNC staffers not to visit Wikileaks for fear the site would install malware on their computers. --- Nicholas Fandos at The New York Times reports that the 14th Librarian of Congress took the helm last week when she was sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts. Dr. Carla D. Hayden is the first African American and first woman to serve in the role Previously, Dr. Hayden was the Chief Librarian for the City of Baltimore, where she overhauled the library system.Dr. Hayden kept a branch of the library open during the violent aftermath of the police involved killing of Freddie Gray. Two protected the library while stores in the area were looted and burned. Dr. Hayden plans to improve digital access to the Library of Congress. She is the first new Library of Congress since 1987, but Congress passed a bill last year imposing a ten-year term limit on the position. ---- Ben Sisario over at The New York Times reported thatsongwriters are now suing the Justice Department for the DOJ's decision last month to uphold the 1941 consent decree the agency entered into with music rights clearinghouses ASCAP and BMI. The songwriter want what is known as fractional licensing whereby, if multiple songwriters contribute to a song, they can all get paid royalties based on their individual contribution. But the Department of Justice basically said, listen, that's too complicated -- each license is a 100% license and we're not going to cut up the license into little pieces. We're gonna do it the way we've always done it: ASCAP and BMI must have a 100% right to license the song--anything less and the music can't be included it in the blanket licenses broadcasters and streaming music services rely on to play the music. The songwriters say this arrangement has them earning a pittance for songs they wrote. ---- Facebook and Israel are working together to reduce incitement on the social media site. The Associated Press in Jerusalem reports the collaboration comes amidst the Israeli government pushing for new anti-incitement legislation. Some advocates say this is a slippery slope towards censorship. ---- For the first time, theCity of New York coordinated with the Office of Emergency Management to send out a city-wide emergency alert to millions of New Yorkers that described the suspect responsible for the bombs that detonated in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood and in New Jersey, Ahmad Khan Rahami. The text contained a description of Rahami and is credited with putting the entire city on high alert, leading to Rahami's apprehension on Monday morning. An FCC working group released a report recommending improvements to the nation's Emergency Alert System on Monday. Kavell Waddell has the full story in the Atlantic. ---- Chris Isidore at CNN Money reports that, apparently,AT&T was charging customers in poor areas $30 or more per month for shoddy broadband speeds below 3 megabits per second, even though customers whose speeds were just a couple of megabits higher got it for as little as $5. The average high speed internet in the U.S. is 15 megabits per second. ATT's discounted prices for customers getting at least 3 megabits per second were part of the company's merger conditions when the FCC approved its acquisition of DirectTV. AT&T first said it was sticking to the strict parameters of that condition, but then when it got some negative press for jacking customers with even slower speeds, the company said, “Ok, ok, ok, ok … we'll change the policy.” ---- Oversight of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the organization that oversees .com and .net registrations, is set to transfer from the U.S. to a multistakeholder model on October 1st. Conservatives are trying to prevent that from happening while progressives and leading tech companies wrote in a letter to Congress QUOTE “a global internet is essential for our economic and national security” END QUOTE Dustin Volz at Reuters has the story. Senator Ted Cruz held up the government funding bill on Monday in an attempt to delay the transition. —— Finally, Senior White House Official Valerie Jarrett visited San Quentin state prison to acknowledge the efforts of the Last Mile, which teaches prison inmates how to code.
