This week has been… a lot. On Thursday, Israel's cabinet approved the first phase of a peace agreement between Hamas and Israel, which would end the fighting in Gaza and return all Israeli hostages, living and dead. But the news didn't stop there – with President Donald Trump threatening National Guard deployments in both Chicago and Portland, and both cities responding by heading to court. And don't forget, we're in the second week of a government shutdown with no end in sight. To unpack it all, we spoke to Pod Save America co-host Tommy Vietor.And in headlines, a federal judge temporarily blocks the President's National Guard deployment in Chicago, the CDC quietly updates its COVID-19 vaccine recommendation for pregnant women, and trick-or-treaters this year might find their bags less full of chocolate and more full of gum.Show Notes:Check out Pod Save America – https://tinyurl.com/4829tpp9Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Trump chronicler Michael Wolff joins the Beast's Joanna Coles to unpack Trump's latest delusions of grandeur. This time, namely, his fantasy of winning a Nobel Peace Prize for “ending seven wars” that never existed.Wolff recounts a disturbing encounter involving Jeffrey Epstein, the head of the Nobel Committee, and alleged Polaroids of Trump, while Pam Bondi, now heading the DOJ, pointedly refuses to discuss them.From showy Middle East tours to Chicago photo ops with the National Guard, Joanna and Michael explore how Trump's obsession with power, spectacle, and apparent paranoia, tinged with fear, continues to reshape his presidency. Is Trump intending to occupy cities like Chicago indefinitely or just seeking attention?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The United States has executed 21 people over the last month in targeted drone strikes off the coast of Venezuela. The Trump administration has so far authorized at least four strikes against people it claims are suspected “narco-terrorists.”The strikes mark a dark shift in the administration's approach to what it's framing as an international drug war — one it's waging without congressional oversight.“There actually could be more strikes,” says Intercept senior reporter Nick Turse. This week on The Intercept Briefing, Turse joins host Akela Lacy and investigative journalist Radley Balko to discuss how the administration is laying the groundwork to justify extrajudicial killings abroad and possibly at home.The Trump administration's claims that it's going after high-level drug kingpins don't hold water, Turse says. “Trump is killing civilians because he 'suspects' that they're smuggling drugs. Experts that I talk to say this is illegal. Former government lawyers, experts on the laws of war, they say it's outright murder.” Trump has repeated claims, without evidence, that a combination of immigration and drug trafficking is driving crime in the United States. It's part of a story Trump has crafted: The U.S. and the international community are under siege, and it's his job to stop it — whether by executing fishermen or deploying the National Guard on his own people. And while the latest turn toward extrajudicial killings is cause for alarm, it's also more of the same, says Radley Balko, an investigative journalist who has covered the drug war for two decades and host of the new Intercept podcast, Collateral Damage. “The notion of collateral damage is just that: this very idea that, when you're in war, there are some who can be sacrificed because we have this greater cause that we have to win or this threat we have to overcome. And these people that are being killed in these incidents, they're collateral damage from the perspective of the U.S. government because Trump clearly doesn't care,” Balko says.“There are a lot of parallels between what Trump is doing with immigration now and what we saw during the 1980s with the drug war. There was an effort to bring the military in,” Balko says. “This idea that Reagan declared illicit drugs a national security threat — just like Trump has done with immigration, with migrants — this idea that we're facing this threat that is so existential and so dangerous that we have to take these extraconstitutional measures, this is a playbook that we've seen before.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

President Trump said hostages could be released early as Monday, as details about how the peace deal between Israel and Hamas will proceed come to light. The BBC reports on what was agreed. Border czar Tom Homan is required to recuse himself from business dealings with former associates for a year after entering government. ProPublica’s Avi Asher-Schapiro details how Homan remains deeply entrenched and why that may violate ethics rules. The Wall Street Journal’s David Uberti explains why the recent spike in gold prices is a signal investors are worried about the state of the global economy. Plus, New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted on bank-fraud and false-statement charges, a federal judge blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard to Illinois, and why your favorite NFL team’s kicker might be hitting longer field goals. Today’s episode was hosted by Yasmeen Khan.

OA1197 - The National Guard is being federalized and sent into cities that the President doesn't like against the explicit will of state governors and local populations. Matt covers as much as we know from the legal developments around this ongoing national emergency, and Jenessa shares some good news which is already coming out of NY's recent recently-enhanced equal protection amendment. Finally, in today's footnote: how do you ticket a car from a moving violation when no one is driving it? NOTE: since the time of this recording, a federal judge has found that the Trump administration's stated reasons for deploying federal troops in Chicago are “simply unreliable” and blocked the deployment of the National Guard.

Today's Headlines: A ceasefire in Gaza officially took effect after Israel's security cabinet approved the deal brokered in Egypt — Israel and Hamas agreed on mutual pullbacks and a hostage-prisoner swap, while aid groups are already mobilizing for Gaza. Meanwhile, Trump's longtime nemesis, New York AG Letitia James, has been indicted for allegedly fudging a mortgage document to help her niece buy a house — federal prosecutors previously passed on the case, and James insists it's a paperwork mistake, not a crime. In Chicago, a judge just blocked the Trump administration from sending in the National Guard for its immigration crackdown — which, if history is any guide, will only make Trump want to do it more. At the Pentagon, nearly 300 employees are under investigation for online comments about Charlie Kirk after his death — part of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's new “don't speak ill of Charlie” policy. Also confirmed by the Senate: the same NOAA chief who presided over Trump's infamous “Sharpiegate” hurricane stunt. So… good luck getting accurate forecasts, ladies — the pressure's in your barometer breasts now. Economically speaking, it's a spooky season — Moody's says 22 states are either in or near recession thanks to tariffs, federal job cuts, and immigration slowdowns (sound familiar?), while cocoa prices have doubled and candy inflation is up 8%. Guess no one's getting those full sized bars this Halloween. Overseas, the U.S. just bailed out Argentina with $20 billion after its libertarian president Milei crashed the economy. In return, China's buying Argentina's soybeans instead of ours, screwing over Iowa farmers — so Trump's now considering a $10–14 billion bailout for them, too. And finally, Pope Leo dropped his first major document as pontiff, urging compassion for migrants and reminding Catholics that “the poor are part of our family.” In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Pope Leo.

Dan Rayfield is Oregon's attorney general — and the latest state-level politician to be thrust into the national spotlight by a legal clash with the Trump administration. In this instance, it's over the federal government ordering troops into Portland, where protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement have been deemed rebellion by the president.  I would invite anybody to come to Oregon and I think it's pretty clear that there isn't an invasion going on in Oregon,” Rayfield says. “Sometimes I'll joke the only rebellion going on right now is when I tried to feed my son a vegetable.” The AG explained that his opposition to Trump's proposed deployment is because, in his view, the president's stated reasons for doing so aren't based on the facts — or in the best interest of the people of Oregon.“If you want to deploy the military, if you want to federalize the National Guard, I'm okay with that if you have the right facts for it.,” Rayfield says. “We should give any president some deference, but when you have zero facts to base it on, that's when you've got to draw the line.” In this week's episode of The Conversation, Rayfield talks with POLITICO's Dasha Burns about how he's trying to defend states rights by fending off the Trump administration's attempted National Guard incursion in Portland, the reality of what's happening in the city, freedom of speech and how progressive policies have drawn outside attention to the state in recent years. Plus, blogger and activist Vani Hari — better known as “The Food Babe” — joins the show to talk about her influence on HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and how she hopes to help the MAHA agenda become reality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

They discuss Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's sharp rebuke of Trump's actions, Pam Bondi's inflammatory comments about Portland officials, and how the president's militarization strategy could intimidate voters ahead of the midterms. Kander and Gupta also react to a bizarre Fox News segment featuring Stephen Miller and a troubling Trump clip on Vietnam and Afghanistan, before examining new reporting on the administration's legally dubious “narco-terrorist” operations in Venezuela.

Hamas has agreed to release the hostages in Gaza after accepting the first phase of Trump’s ceasefire plan. Reuters has the latest. National Guard troops have arrived in Illinois, against the wishes of the governor. The Chicago Sun-Times reports. John McCormick, national political reporter with the Wall Street Journal, discusses why the Trump administration attacks on renewable energy have zeroed in on wind turbines. Plus, authorities arrested a man they say is responsible for starting the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles, what alternative economic data is saying about the jobs market, and how the world of fancy ketchups and flavored mayos exploded. Today’s episode was hosted by Yasmeen Khan.

President Trump has deployed National Guard troops to Washington D.C., Portland, and Chicago — a show of force that raises questions about presidential power and the limits of the law. Chris Cuomo examines how the Insurrection Act of 1807 and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 were designed to separate military authority from civilian law enforcement, and why those boundaries matter now. Cuomo explains how these laws evolved to prevent political misuse of the military, why modern presidents have avoided invoking them, and how Trump's approach tests that restraint. He argues that using military power as a political tool risks normalizing force where policy and persuasion should prevail — a shift that could alter the balance between authority and democracy in the United States."

Recently, President Trump said he would consider using the Insurrection Act if federal courts prevented him from deploying the National Guard to protect federal buildings and conduct law enforcement operations. The comments came a day after a federal judge blocked the president from sending National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, which Trump claims has been taken over by left-wing “domestic terrorists.” Similar to any civil unrest, various attacks occur in isolated areas. It is not some widespread conquest. However, using terms like "insurrection" and "overturning Posse Comitatus" is a sure sign that there is no stopping a war where the enemy is within—and therefore, everyone is a suspect.
