Podcast appearances and mentions of Mitch McConnell

In this passionate segment, the host unloads on Senate Republican leadership following the dramatic failure of the SAVE Act—federal legislation aimed at requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. The host rails against Senator Mitch McConnell, claiming he used his final energy before being hospitalized to join three other Republicans—Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins—to block a version of the bill packed with controversial amendments. Despite Senate Majority Leader John Thune moving past the issue, the host remains defiant, insisting that a clean version of the bill actually holds a 50-vote threshold. The commentary takes a fierce swipe at the globalist "establishment" wing of the party, calling out establishment primary ads as fake and predicting a total realignment of purple and blue states if election integrity measures finally clear the Senate.

In this comprehensive, blockbuster compilation of the day's transcripts from the Battleground America podcast, the hosts break down the massive forces colliding across the country. First, we celebrate an monumental economic victory as the United States officially eclipses Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world's number one oil exporter at a record-shattering 10.5 million barrels per day—driving world transactions to a historic 51.1% petrodollar dominance and sparking a massive domestic economic boom. Then, the gloves come off. The host tears into the establishment political machine, slamming the newly brokered Trump-Iran peace deal as "pallets of cash" for unlocking $25 billion in frozen assets. We then expose the intense political theater surrounding the federal SAVE Act after Mitch McConnell blocked voter integrity measures from his hospital bed. Turning to local battlegrounds, we unpack the absolute outrage over the Los Angeles mayoral primary after progressive Nithya Raman erased a 40,000-vote deficit to edge out populist outsider Spencer Pratt from the runoff. Finally, we expose a terrifying COVID-19 medical bombshell as Senator Ron Johnson reveals documented evidence of hidden vaccine adverse events buried by federal agencies, contrasting genuine wealth creation against the Left's network of corrupt corporate NGOs.

In this packed episode of the Battleground America podcast, the host targets the biggest stories shaping the nation. First, we dive into a striking new Harvard Harris poll showing that 71% of Democrat voters now back deporting criminal illegal immigrants, proving a major base revolt over border safety following the DHS shutdown backfired and handed a massive $70 billion enforcement victory to Republicans. Next, we break down the high-stakes political theater surrounding the SAVE Act after Mitch McConnell and a handful of Republicans blocked it, while exposing why a clean version of the election integrity bill still has a real fighting chance. We celebrate a historic financial milestone as Elon Musk reaches paper trillionaire status after listing SpaceX on the NYSE, creating thousands of working-class millionaires while completely outmaneuvering the Left's targeted legal onslaught. Finally, the host recounts a close call at Greenville's Haywood Mall, demanding a heavy crackdown on local crime and a surge in visible security after a terrifying shootout involving a 17-year-old suspect.

In this hometeam segment, the crew reacts to Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell and Thom Tillis voting against Trump's SAVE Act, blocking strict voter ID rules and proof of citizenship from being added to a huge immigration funding bill.

It's Monday, June 8th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Russian pastor labeled “terrorist” for speaking against Ukraine war On May 28th, Russian authorities labeled 74-year-old Baptist pastor Yuri Sipko to be a terrorist, reports International Christian Concern. As the former head of the Union of Evangelical Baptist Christians in Russia, he has spoken out against the war in Ukraine on social media. As a result, Russia launched a criminal case against him in August 2023, claiming he was spreading false information about military actions. At the time, Sipko said,  “They are looking for me to put me in prison because I've spoken the truth that Russia waged war on Ukraine,  People are dying, and everything is being destroyed. It's criminal, and they should not be doing this.” During the investigation, Sipko's home was raided, but he managed to escape. In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Iran's missiles failed to hit Saudi Arabia or Bahrain On June 2nd, U.S. forces successfully defeated multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, and conducted self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East, reported the United States Central Command on X. Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors. However, all failed to hit their intended targets. Two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart enroute, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces. House resolution constrains Trump from military action against Iran In a vote of 215-208 on June 3rd, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure seeking to stop President Trump from taking further military action in Iran amid growing opposition to the war, reports the Associated Press. President Trump called the 215 representatives who passed the resolution "unpatriotic.” In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote: "In a meaningless vote, the House voted, 4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats, to limit my War Powers, right in the middle of my final negotiations to end the War with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Who would do such an unpatriotic thing?" It is unclear how much legal force the House's measure will have. The White House described the move as an unconstitutional attempt to restrict presidential power. Four GOP Senators opposed Safeguard Voter Eligibility Act On June 4th, the U.S. Senate failed to pass the Safeguard Voter Eligibility Act which would require people to show documented proof of citizenship, reports Fox News. Republican Senators Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky voted against the motion, signaling that the SAVE America Act does not have the votes to pass. Appearing on Fox News, Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah said this. LEE: “Americans overwhelmingly support the need for voter I.D. They overwhelmingly support the need to verify citizenship from those registered to vote in this country. That's why the overwhelming majority, a super majority, of Republican voters, of Democrat voters nationwide want the S.A.V.E America Act passed. And even want it passed before the midterm elections. “That cuts across the board in people of both political parties. The only place where this is even remotely controversial is in the halls of Congress with Democrats. We've got to get this done to make our elections safe and secure again.” Indeed, according to Pew Research Center, 83% of Americans favor requiring all voters to show government-issued photo ID to vote, including 95% of Republicans and 71% of Democrats. Trump beautifies Washington, D.C. Ahead of America's 250th birthday, President Donald Trump made a promise. TRUMP: “We're going to get all the graffiti off the marble. We're going to fix the roads and the medians, which are falling down all over the street. Washington, D.C. will become a symbol of beauty, security, freedom, and strength.” Specifically speaking, for nearly two decades, the Columbus Fountain in front of Washington's Union Station was nonfunctional. Now, water is flowing again after 19 years. Plus, all of the obscene graffiti that President Joe Biden had tolerated was power washed away. The work was completed thanks to President Donald Trump's executive order on "Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful." Appearing on CNN's State of the Union, Interior Secretary Doug Bergum said this. BERGUM: “The real scandal is not that we're fixing up monuments or making this capital beautiful again. The scandal should be, how in the world did we let our capital fall into such a disrepair? How did we fall into such a spot where celebrating American patriotism became partisan?” At a cabinet meeting, President Trump weighed in. TRUMP: “D.C. is looking beautiful, and the fountains are almost all open.” Most notably, the reflecting pool between the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial was in terrible disrepair.  After draining the pool and removing 12 truckloads of trash, they repaired the leaks in the pool's concrete slab and joints by applying a waterproof coating, and painted it “American flag” blue to improve the reflection.  After starting the filling process on June 4th, it was completely filled yesterday, June 7th. YouTuber announced abortion of Down syndrome baby And finally, YouTube influencer Jesse Ridgway, who has 4 million followers, is facing a massive backlash after he announced on X that he and his wife decided to abort their baby after the child was diagnosed with Down syndrome, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Horrifically, Ridgway stated that he and his wife researched Down syndrome and decided that it would be best for both the child and for his family if the baby was killed in the womb—and noted that over 90 percent of children diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted. He said, “50% of babies with Down syndrome have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. … Sadly, the list is long. … As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe, in the long-run, will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.” Incidentally, despite frequent health difficulties, nearly 99 percent of people with Down syndrome report being happy with their lives; 96 percent like how they look; and 97 percent like who they are.  Dr. Calum Miller, a United Kingdom doctor and ethicist, said, “I'm sorry you murdered your child because he/she didn't pass quality control.” He pointed out that Ridgway had previously celebrated the fact that his dog had managed to survive a complicated surgery and was now living without kidneys. Columnist Mollie Hemingway wrote, “Killing your baby because he wasn't perfect in your eyes is so sad and dark and, yes, evil. Even if we didn't know how wonderful people with Down syndrome are. I pray you find Jesus. Life is beautiful.” And podcaster Brittany Hughes bluntly put it: “There is no way of framing this that will gain my sympathy. No poetic waxing, no begging for understanding, no tearful excuses. My heart breaks for this precious baby who was killed for the crime of having an extra chromosome by the two people who should have protected him or her with their own lives.” Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, June 8th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 5, 2026. We open with the federal government's announcement of multiple election fraud investigations and a comprehensive audit of California's voter registration system — while California is still counting ballots days after its primary election. We make the case that this isn't just about catching cheaters after the fact — it's deterrence ahead of the midterms. The Trump administration is sending a message to every state that someone is watching, and the only way that message lands is if someone ends up in a perp walk before November. We also explain why election integrity is mathematically connected to voter turnout — because when people believe their vote might not matter, they stop showing up. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, May job numbers came in at 172,000 — more than double the economists' expectation of 80,000 — with unemployment holding at 4.3% and wages rising without a single government mandate to do it. Then Florida settled the NRA's lawsuit against its three-day gun purchase waiting period, with the attorney general agreeing the law violated the Second Amendment — a remarkable shift in a state that passed that law with 72% of voters in 1998. And Democratic Congressman Jimmy Gomez — founder of the Dads Caucus in Congress, married with a son — admitted to an extramarital affair with the 29-year-old chief of staff of fellow California Democrat Eric Swalwell. The House Ethics Committee has launched a probe as additional allegations surface. We also have a direct conversation with the one in three working-age men who have checked out of the workforce entirely — not just temporarily unemployed, but not even looking. We say what needs to be said — the greatness God placed inside you is not going to manifest on the couch. Go get a job, start a business, join the military, farm something. Do something. Women are doing it. Your country needs you to do it. Our American Mama Teri Netterville weighs in on Victoria's Secret's dramatic comeback — stock price up from $15 to $75 after the company abandoned its DEI era and returned to supermodels, fantasy, and the product their customers actually wanted. Teri explains why more women than men watched the Victoria's Secret runway show in its prime, why women dress for other women as much as for their partners, and why the body positivity era collapsed under the weight of its own ideology — including the irony that the women who most loudly celebrated it are now on Ozempic. In our Digging Deep segment, a congressional candidate in Iowa published a public confession apologizing for being white, cisgender, able-bodied, middle-class, and college-educated — and we use it to explain the fundamental difference between equal opportunity and equal outcomes that is at the root of almost every major political disagreement in America today. You should not feel guilty for succeeding unless you cheated to do it. America never promised equal outcomes. It promised equal opportunity. Those are not the same thing — and confusing them is the left's most effective lie. We then dig into the judge who just ruled that President Trump's name must be removed from the Kennedy Center by June 16th — U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, appointed by Barack Obama. Judge Cooper is married to Amy Jeffress, who is Joe Biden's personal attorney and a partner at a law firm that represented E. Jean Carroll in her lawsuit against Trump. The man who officiated their wedding was Merrick Garland. Judge Cooper did not recuse himself. We lay out every connection and ask a simple question — even if the legal ruling was technically correct, how is any of this supposed to inspire confidence in the rule of law? The Senate passed the $70 billion reconciliation package funding ICE and Customs and Border Protection through 2029 — with only one Republican voting against it. We note it was not Susan Collins, not Bill Cassidy, not Mitch McConnell. It was Lisa Murkowski. Again. Then it's Fake News Friday — including whether California is still counting the 1966 governor's race, whether Democrats convinced a man named Dan Sullivan to run against Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska to confuse voters, whether Democrats want to replace the words mother and father in the law with gestating parent and non-gestating parent, whether Seattle's mayor broke her own Starbucks boycott for a blueberry muffin latte, and whether Disney is making a full-length Jar Jar Binks movie. We also cover a House bill heading to the floor that would allow service members to buy gasoline at military exchanges without paying the federal gas tax — and we ask the only question that matters. Why shouldn't they? And we close with words of wisdom on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day — from FDR, Ronald Reagan, General Eisenhower, and Private First Class Joseph Lesniewski of Easy Company, who said simply, I don't feel like any kind of hero. To me, the work had to be done. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is at the center of the Trump administration. He's helping to lead negotiations over the war in Iran, the pressure campaign on Cuba's communist regime, and U.S. efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine. It wasn't always this way. Journalist and author Manuel Roig-Franzia breaks down how Rubio went from Trump critic to his chief booster, and whether it's all in service of a potential presidential run in 2028.And, in a sharp and rare rebuke of President Trump, Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell slammed the administration's $1.776 billion so-called 'anti-weaponization' fund, calling it "utterly stupid" and "morally wrong." Princeton University historian Julian Zelizer explains McConnell's reaction and why it should be viewed through the lens of McConnell's decision not to convict Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

May 23, 2026, 8 AM; Clyburn is South Carolina's only Black member of the U.S. House and one of the most influential voices in congress and the Democratic party, and this move would further dilute Black voting power in the state for potentially decades. The new map still has to get through the State Senate, which yesterday failed to secure enough votes to finalize it before early voting begins Tuesday in South Carolina's primary election. Some Republicans don't seem to be totally on board with five of them joining Democrats in opposing a rushed process. Fmr. Rep. Joe Cunningham and Adam Serwer join The Weekend to discuss the latest redistricting efforts by the GOP in that state.

Today's Headlines: Two January 6th police officers — Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges — filed a lawsuit to block Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund, naming Trump, Todd Blanche, and Scott Bessent, while exactly one Republican congressman, Brian Fitzpatrick, called it out publicly — prompting Trump to immediately shitpost about Fitzpatrick's wife. On the primaries, Tuesday's results confirmed that Trump owns the GOP completely: Mitch McConnell lost his Senate primary to a Trump-endorsed challenger, Georgia has two runoff races next month with no clear Trump favorite in either, and Alabama is in redistricting limbo with a special primary coming in August. The through-line is simple — any hint of dissent costs you your job, even as Trump's approval rating drops and voters are furious about costs. The Ebola outbreak is moving fast, with over 600 suspected cases and 139 deaths — a 30% jump in a single day — a 30-50% fatality rate, no treatment, and a vaccine still months away. The International Rescue Committee says Trump's USAID cuts left the region dangerously unprepared to catch the outbreak early, though the State Department has now pledged to fund 50 treatment clinics, which is good, and also something USAID was already doing before it was gutted. Remember when shitposting about Charlie Kirk was treated like a crime? Well, a retired Tennessee cop spent 37 days in jail and lost his job over a Facebook post quoting Trump after a school shooting — Perry County will now pay him $835,000 for the First Amendment violation, which seems like an expensive lesson. In real life Succession, James Murdoch officially acquired roughly half of Vox Media including New York Magazine and its podcast network for over $300 million, with The Verge and Eater not included in the deal. SpaceX filed for its IPO yesterday at a $1.25 trillion valuation — one day after Elon lost his OpenAI trial — with Musk's compensation package including a billion shares that only vest when there's a permanent Mars colony of at least one million people, so that's his retirement plan. OpenAI is filing for its IPO tomorrow at an $850 billion valuation, Anthropic is raising money at a $900 billion valuation, and Trump endorsed Spencer Pratt for mayor of Los Angeles, calling him "a character" and "a big MAGA person," with Pratt currently polling between second and third ahead of the June 2nd primary.

DESCRIPTION Tara opens up about her daughter's graduation, parenting teenage drivers, and the life lessons kids refuse to learn the easy way. Then the conversation pivots hard into Washington, where Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton signals a major shift in the Republican Party's war against establishment “RINOs,” open-border Republicans, and the old Bush-era political machine. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show starts with a personal and emotional moment as Tara reflects on watching her daughter graduate and prepares for the next chapter of parenting. That leads into a broader conversation about teenagers, driving, seat belts, and the tragic consequences of reckless behavior behind the wheel. Tara and Lee discuss how many fatal crashes involving teenage boys are preventable, emphasizing the importance of seat belts, slowing down on curves, and understanding basic driving physics. They also highlight other preventable health tragedies, including the importance of mammograms and colonoscopies. In the second half of the show, the focus shifts sharply to Republican Party politics. Tara argues that the “RINO” wing of the GOP — including figures tied to the Bush-era establishment — has spent decades undermining conservative priorities, especially on immigration and border security. The discussion centers on Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton and what Tara describes as a growing revolt against establishment Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham. The episode frames the current GOP divide as a battle between grassroots conservatives and the old guard “unit party” Republicans who Tara says have prioritized compromise and open-border policies over American sovereignty. KEY TOPICS Parenting teenagers and watching kids grow up Teenage driving dangers and seat belt safety Preventable deaths from reckless driving Importance of preventive healthcare screenings Trump endorsing Ken Paxton GOP establishment vs. conservative populists Border security and immigration politics Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and Republican infighting The future direction of the Republican Party

Tara opens with an emotional reflection on her daughter's graduation and the challenges of raising teenage drivers before pivoting into a fiery breakdown of Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton and what she calls the collapse of the Bush-era Republican “unit party.” The episode also dives into concerns about election integrity, Senate obstruction, and the alarming disappearance of millions of men from the American workforce. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show begins on a deeply personal note as Tara talks about watching her daughter graduate and the emotional reality of seeing children grow up seemingly overnight. The conversation shifts into parenting teenage drivers, the dangers of reckless driving, and why seat belts, preventive healthcare, and life experience matter more than young people realize. Tara and Lee discuss fatal crashes involving teenage boys, the importance of airbags and seat belts, and how simple decisions can mean the difference between life and death. The show also touches on mammograms, colonoscopies, and the importance of preventive medicine. The second half of the episode pivots sharply into politics, with Tara arguing that Trump has finally broken from establishment Republicans by endorsing Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in Texas. Tara frames the battle as a war between the America First movement and the Bush-era “RINO” wing of the Republican Party, focusing heavily on the SAVE Act, immigration policy, voter rolls, and Senate leadership. The discussion expands into criticism of Senate Republicans, Mitch McConnell, and John Thune, with Tara arguing that establishment Republicans have repeatedly blocked Trump's agenda. The episode concludes with a discussion about declining male workforce participation in America and the growing number of working-age men who have disappeared from the labor force. KEY TOPICS Parenting and watching children graduate Teenage driving safety and seat belts Preventive healthcare and screenings Trump endorses Ken Paxton John Cornyn and the GOP establishment The SAVE Act and election integrity Mitch McConnell and Senate leadership criticism America First vs. Bush-era Republicans Workforce participation decline among men Economic and cultural shifts in America

Inflation Jumps 3.8%. Trump Disapproval on Economy Hits 70%! Senator McConnell is Not Well. Osborn Leads Ricketts in Nebraska. Mendoza Gives Trump the Stiff-arm. Kari Lake Appointed Ambassador to Jamaica!?  It's Testimony Tuesday and the corruption is on full display. Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine are on the Hill asking Congress for $1.5 trillion more for the Pentagon — a Christmas tree budget designed to bankroll the unauthorized Iran war and whatever comes next, whether that's Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, or Cuba. Buried in the same hearing: the Pentagon's own CFO admitting the Iran tab is now $29 billion and counting, $4 billion more than Americans were told. Gas is up, beef is up, tomatoes are up 40%, inflation just hit a five-year high, and 70% of the country disapproves of Trump on the economy. The pigs are at the trough and the rest of us are getting screwed. Paul breaks down why the December defense vote is the real fight, why Hegseth's open defiance of Congress on Ukraine aid is impeachment-grade, and why FBI Director Crash Patel spending his testimony defending his sobriety is not a sign of a healthy republic. He hits the Mitch McConnell mid-hearing meltdown — fitness, not age, is the metric — calls out Kari Lake being shipped to Jamaica, flags Dan Osborn pulling ahead of Pete Ricketts in Nebraska, and closes with the people stepping up to be the vaccine: nurses on International Nurses Day, Ukrainian medics under shellfire, and the new Astronauts for America.

CannCon and Ashe bring Ash Wednesday with a show that ranges from the absurd to the consequential. Missouri's Supreme Court upholds redrawn congressional maps that effectively eliminate the only Democrat seat, and Mississippi sets a special session to redraw Bennie Thompson's district. Ashe and CannCon use the redistricting wave to make the deeper argument: the real problem is not who draws the districts but the 1929 cap at 435 representatives that makes political manipulation structurally inevitable. A Brooklyn Democrat assembly candidate has 90% of her 5,258 nominating signatures thrown out, including two from voters who have been dead for over a decade. Dr. Andrew Paquette's Why We Vote appearance the night before revealed 1.5 million cloned voter registrations in New York alone in 2020, and CannCon and Ashe show that US registered voter turnout hit 94.1% in 2020, higher than countries with compulsory voting. Kevin Warsh clears his Senate hurdle 51-45. Kash Patel eviscerates Senator Van Hollen live in committee. An undercover video catches a White House budget official calling Trump a madman. Trump calls out Mitch McConnell's Democratic-aligned handler Robert Karim by name.

Based on the coverage of the war in Iran so far, we're at Year 11 with no end in sight. Andrew Malcolm and I return to review the media's relentless pessimism, and how Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are pushing back – hard. We discuss Andrew's tribute to Mitch McConnell and how the GOP may miss him more than they think. We also wonder whether CNN is violating child labor laws in selecting panelists, and why Adam Mockler should be grateful that Scott Jennings didn't take a page out of Joe Biden's book last week.

Tune in as your host, Justin Mog, sits down with Andrea Parr, the DSA Candidate for Louisville Metro Council District 9. Andrea is a Kentucky native and long-time resident of District 9, a technical analyst, organizer, and democratic socialist who believes that the residents of District 9 deserve a councilperson who puts their needs first – not someone who answers to corporate developers or special interests.

1. Eric Swalwell Campaign Collapse Eric Swalwell reportedly ended/suspended his campaign for California governor after multiple sexual misconduct allegations. Allegations include sexual assault, rape, unwanted contact, and inappropriate behavior, some allegedly involving intoxicated individuals. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is described as opening a criminal investigation, raising potential legal exposure. Around 50 former staffers publicly condemned Swalwell, suggesting alleged behavior was widely known. Swalwell denies all allegations, calling them false and politically motivated. 2. Democratic Party Hypocrisy and Political Calculations The speaker claims Democrats: Are calling for Swalwell to suspend his campaign, but not resign from Congress, due to narrow House margins. Act only when misconduct threatens electoral chances rather than out of concern for victims. California’s “jungle primary” system is highlighted as a reason Democrats panicked, since two Republicans could theoretically advance to the general election. The segment accuses Democrats of double standards, comparing Swalwell’s situation with other Democratic lawmakers allegedly facing ethics violations. 3. Republican Strategy: Reconciliation and Legislative Urgency A Republican lawmaker argues this is the last realistic window to pass conservative priorities before likely midterm losses. Advocates for a large-scale budget reconciliation bill with “tentpole” items such as: Long-term funding for ICE and CBP Preventing government shutdowns Indexing capital gains taxes to inflation Airport and TSA funding guarantees Election integrity provisions tied to federal funding Criticism of past Republican leadership (including Mitch McConnell) for failing to use reconciliation aggressively. 4. New York City Luxury Property Tax Criticism Focuses on NYC politician (Mamdani) promoting a “pied-à-terre” tax on luxury second homes over $5 million. The tax aims to raise $500 million annually to fund social programs. Commentary portrays the policy as: Anti-wealth, vindictive, and punitive Likely to accelerate wealth and job flight from NYC Examples cited include: Ken Griffin (Citadel) Elon Musk leaving California for Texas Claims that high taxes drive businesses and wealthy individuals to lower-tax states, harming long-term economic health.

Iran war. Exploding national debt. Abortion. Immigration. AIPAC.Nate Morris — the businessman running to replace Mitch McConnell in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race — sat down with me and took tough questions from both me and live listeners.We hit those issues head-on, plus much more.No attacks. No softballs. Just direct questions wanting answers.

We've hidden David Waldman somewhere in the United States. Follow the clues, find Kagro, and he will personally autograph the body part of his choice! Donald K. Trump might not be telling us the truth… about his height. When he stands next to people who are established to be his height, weight, etc., he seems to have embellished a bit… Of course, he could just be a moron. Trump heard that Riley Gaines might have dissed him but didn't recognize Riley as the participation trophy star of Mitch McConnell wannabe Andy Barr's campaign commercials. Gaines then had to apologize to Trump. This lying moron is the most powerful and weakest person on Earth and is destroying everything, everywhere, all at once. If Hungary can do it, we can too. In fact, Hungary is doing it for us too.

U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell reacts to President Donald Trump's warning that ‘a whole civilization will die tonight' unless Iran reaches a deal, the Kentucky Democratic Party calls for an investigation into a Republican state senator, and the support Morehead State University students are providing to the historic Artemis II mission.

Founder of the Stewart Group and former aide to Senators Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn, Don "Stew" Stewart discusses the daring rescue of an American airman in Iran and the looming battles over President Trump's Department of War budget. Plus, Dana and Stew examine why healthcare remains the top concern for voters heading into the midterms.  Purple State: Stew points out how viral branding has taken over traditional policy platforms, and both sides of the aisle are grappling with a "death of policy" that prioritizes a TikTok-ready personality.

John Cornyn writes an op/ed for the New York Post explaining what democrats are doing to the SAVE Act. Sean Davis from The Federalist with fascinating insight into the difference between the ruthless Mitch McConnell and the not-so-bright John Thune. How many Americans believe there was cheating in the 2020 election? A new poll shows it's not even close. And Pete Hegseth gets roasted for feeding the United States military steak and lobster tails. Oh, the irony.

Roger Stone and guest John Fawcett critique the integrity of various political figures while positioning themselves as unfiltered truth-tellers within the MAGA movement. The conversation primarily focuses on allegations of financial corruption and self-dealing, highlighting suspicious no-bid contracts involving Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, as well as the insider trading advantages supposedly enjoyed by career politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell. They also seek to marginalize former allies such as Steve Bannon, whom they portray as a deceptive and self-important figure whose past associations and personal character disqualify him from leadership.

A blockbuster day of political, electoral, and global revelations. The Trump FBI has obtained terabytes of Arizona voter records from 2020 and 2024, sparking a firestorm in the media. Meanwhile, Trump declassifies his reasoning behind strikes on Iran, tying decades of policy missteps back to Obama's administration. And in a surprising domestic health alert, millennial men are facing a low testosterone crisis, with effects on libido, muscle mass, and fertility unseen in prior generations. SUMMARY Today's show covers three major stories shaking America: Arizona Voter Rolls Seized The Trump FBI, via a secret grand jury subpoena, has obtained electronic voter registration and election data from Maricopa County. Democrats and media outlets have reacted with outrage, calling it a "privacy violation," though legal experts note it was conducted under proper legal authority. Congressional observers report alarming ballot handling in 2024: mail-in ballots were stored with blanks in unsecured facilities, violating chain-of-custody laws. The fight over the SAFE Act intensifies as Republican leaders John Thune and Mitch McConnell continue to block full transparency efforts, citing procedural concerns. Trump on Iran & Obama-era Policies Trump publicly explains why decisive strikes against Iran's nuclear and missile programs were necessary. He links the current conflict to policies under former President Obama, which allowed Iran to develop long-range missiles and expand nuclear capabilities. Trump argues the destruction is necessary to prevent a future Democratic administration from facing an empowered Iran, warning of “ten years of destruction” to reset their capabilities. Millennial Men's Health Crisis Doctors report alarming declines in free testosterone among men in their 30s and 40s. Symptoms include low libido, erectile dysfunction, early prostate issues, and reduced muscle mass. Causes are linked to environmental chemicals, ultra-processed foods, and endocrine disruptors, often invisible in standard lab tests. From voter integrity and foreign policy to public health, today's episode uncovers the issues that could define America's future. SOCIAL MEDIA POST Title: Trump FBI Gets Arizona Voter Records, Iran Strategy, and Millennial Men in Crisis Description: Election integrity, foreign policy, and a health epidemic collide in today's explosive episode. Message: Terabytes of voter data from Arizona's 2020 and 2024 elections are now in the hands of the Trump FBI—sparking a media firestorm. Meanwhile, Trump declassifies his rationale for strikes on Iran, tracing the threat back to Obama-era policy. On the home front, millennial men face a hidden health crisis: low testosterone, impacting libido, muscle, and fertility at unprecedented rates. Get the full story on why America's future is being shaped on multiple fronts. #Trump #FBI #ArizonaVoterRolls #IranPolicy #ObamaLegacy #ElectionIntegrity #MillennialMenHealth #TestosteroneCrisis #NationalSecurity #Politics HASHTAGS FOR FIRST COMMENT #BreakingNews #VoterFraud #SAFEAct #ForeignPolicy #MiddleEastCrisis #MenHealth #HormoneCrisis #USPolitics #ElectionWatch #GlobalSecurity CUSTOM LABELS Trump voter rolls, Maricopa County subpoena, election integrity, SAFE Act battle, Iran nuclear strikes, Obama-era Iran policy, Middle East strategy, millennial men health, testosterone decline, fertility concerns, public health alert, Republican procedural battles

Mike sounds the alarm over growing frustration inside the Republican Party as Senate leadership hesitates to move forward with the SAVE America Act, a bill supporters say would require voter ID and proof of citizenship in federal elections. He questions why establishment Republicans like John Thune and Mitch McConnell appear reluctant to back legislation that polls show overwhelming public support for, even as President Trump argues passing it would energize voters and secure the midterms. Mike also takes calls from listeners who believe the fight over election integrity has become a defining test of whether Republican leaders are willing to confront both Democrats and their own party establishment.

Hillary Clinton's closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Jeffrey Epstein produced zero new information, as she repeatedly denied ever meeting Epstein, having any connection to him, or knowing about his crimes. Despite over six hours of questioning, her answers stayed limited to blanket denials like "I never met Jeffrey Epstein" and "I had no idea about their criminal activities," offering nothing substantive to advance the probe into elite accountability. Critics see this as classic evasion, with Clinton dismissing the entire session as repetitive "political theater" designed to distract from others like President Trump rather than uncover truth for victims.

-- On the Show -- Michael Wolff, journalist and best-selling author, joins us to discuss Trump's return to power, the Epstein scandal, and his latest book "All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America" -- Donald Trump attacks Supreme Court justices as disloyal and foreign-controlled after they strike down his tariffs as unconstitutional -- Republican leaders including Don Bacon, Mitch McConnell, and Rand Paul publicly reject Donald Trump's attempt to reimpose tariffs, signaling a growing loss of influence within the party -- Donald Trump repeatedly asks advisers whether JD Vance or Marco Rubio should succeed him in 2028, revealing deep insecurity about his legacy and fear of backing a losing candidate -- Donald Trump posts an angry Truth Social rant claiming he gained power after losing at the Supreme Court, reframing defeat as victory while attacking the legitimacy of the judiciary -- New polling data highlighted by Harry Enten shows Donald Trump suffering his worst independent voter approval ratings and lowest pre-State of the Union numbers of either term -- C-SPAN confirms a caller using the name John Barron was not Donald Trump, exposing how online commentators amplified an unverified claim that fit existing narratives -- Donald Trump demands that Netflix fire Susan Rice after she criticizes corporate deference to him, raising concerns about presidential pressure on private companies

After the Supreme Court struck down Donald Trump's tariffs, he detonated. He targeted justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, fuming that the ruling was an “embarrassment to their families.” He doubled down on the idea that he has unilateral tariff power. He tacitly threatened to investigate the high court for foreign influences. He called the ruling a “disgrace to our nation.” Yet this is backfiring: It prompted GOP Representative Don Bacon to declare that this might prompt more GOP votes to constrain him, remarking that Trump “didn't do himself any favors.” Indeed, after we recorded this episode, Senator Mitch McConnell pointedly noted that Congress is “not an inconvenience to avoid,” suggesting more Congressional action ahead, and other Republicans celebrated the ruling.  We talked to legal scholar Matthew Seligman, a lawyer for some of the businesses looking for tariff refunds. He explains why the ruling was such a major rebuke, why Trump's efforts to revive the tariffs might encounter turbulence, and how his impotent fury—and the GOP response to it—undermine his political mystique in a deeper sense.  Learn more about your ad choices.
