Podcasts about National Guard

Every day brings a new constitutional crisis. Donald Trump isn't just breaking norms... he's weaponizing the entire justice system against anyone who dare cross him. We're joined by former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman to cut through the chaos and explain what the hell is happening. Trump promised that he would bring "retribution" to his second term - turns he wasn't lying. So far he's gone after James Comey, Letitia James, John Bolton. Harry breaks down why these prosecutions represent "rock bottom, ninth circle of hell" for the Justice Department—and why they're likely unconstitutional. Harry also discusses Trump sending the National Guard into (Democratic-led) cities despite their objections. Is that legal? Some courts say yes, some say no. Now it's at the Supreme Court, which has already enabled Trump's overreach at every turn. Harry tells us why this is the single most dangerous thing happening right now. We also delve into the complexities of  Louisiana v. Callais, the Voting Rights Act case before the Supreme Court which could eliminate Section II and allow for the elimination of majority-minority districts (we'll explain this!), likely imperiling 15 House seats now held by Democrats. Plus, it turns out that it's easier than anyone thought to demolish the East Wing of the White House! At least we're getting a new ballroom.... Harry walks us through why this unprecedented destruction is probably illegal, but so outrageous that no legal framework even exists to stop it.

Trump has a habit of creating his own destroyers, and now Special Counsel Jack Smith has broken his vow of silence and is demanding to be heard by the public when he testifies about Trump's criminality before Congress. Trump's other self-created destroyer, New York Attorney General Letitia James, is more powerful than ever—filing multiple motions to destroy Trump, his DOJ, and Lindsey Halligan—as her criminal case falls apart right before our eyes. Trump and Melania are caught flat-footed by journalist Michael Wolff, who sues first to preempt a bogus defamation suit shakedown by Melania. A federal judge is about to step in before Trump can send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia in response to Garcia demanding that Trump and his DOJ take the stand. The Supreme Court is about to issue a new, earthshaking decision about Trump's use of the National Guard. And Ben and Popok are back on the top-rated Legal AF Podcast to make it make sense.

October 26, 2025 7am: The New York Times reports that while plans are not finalized, the ICE proposal stems from frustration from Donald Trump and within the Department of Homeland Security over the pace of deportations, which are lagging behind the President's goal of more than a million at the end of his first year back in office. Meanwhile Democrats are speaking out about the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Rep.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, On Monday's Mark Levin Show, 7 million old hippies turned out in the Democrat-Marxist-Islamist No Kings mini-parades on Saturday? Well, 330 million Americans did not. The tea party movements had massive rallies, and it wasn't just one day. How is this President a king? He's working through the courts when he's blocked on improving America. For example, in a victory for America the 9th Circuit court ruled that the National Guard can be deployed in Portland. Also, Democrats turned a continuing resolution into a government shutdown blackmail threat to reverse provisions of the big, beautiful bill. Later, Marxist-Islamist Zohran Mamdani is pro-terrorism - from his associations with Imam Siraj Wahaj, his support for Hamas, his calls to globalize the Intifada, and his ties to the Qatar royal family. If people in NYC vote for Mamdani, they are voting for somebody who embraces terrorists, terrorist organizations, and hence, by implication, terrorism. Mamdani is no moderate, he's a grave threat to the people in New York City. Phase II of the Gaza peace plan is the most challenging due to Hamas, which refuses to disarm or leave Gaza, abuses Palestinians, murders IDF soldiers, and repeatedly violates the ceasefire. Despite warnings from President Trump of potential obliteration, Hamas persists. Qatar's emir, a major Hamas funder and host to its leaders, accuses Israel of genocide and ceasefire breaches while calling for a Palestinian state. Turkey's Erdogan similarly harbors Hamas leaders, threatens Israel, and takes provocative actions. The ceasefire must be enforced urgently to stop ongoing murders and torture, and support should be given to Trump if he orders military action against Hamas. Mass legal and illegal immigration without assimilation causes profound cultural and societal changes, leading to a dark period in Western societies where Marxist-Islamist ideology smothers Enlightenment values. You can see this in NYC where foreign-born voters overwhelmingly support socialist-Islamist immigrant candidate Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral race against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. The Democrat Party relies on Marxist-socialist beliefs for power, abandoning the American founding, Declaration, Constitution, separation of powers, and genuine elections, instead favoring unelected judges, bureaucracy, and massive government spending to control the people. Later, Zohran Mamdani got his butt kicked at the NYC debate. He's a sloganeer, which is typical of Marxists, but he won't be substantive at all. Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.showThis week in the free episode: the indictment of John Bolton and how it's pretty different from the Comey indictment, plus Trump's apparent demand that the Justice Department pay him $230 million for the indignity of being prosecuted.Paying subscribers also get to hear a dive into two wild NBA-related indictments that came down this week in the Eastern District of New York. One indictment alleges that conspirators, including an NBA coach and members of four of New York's Italian mafia families, ran rigged poker games to fleece unsuspecting players out of millions of dollars. The other alleges a conspiracy to fraudulently bet on NBA games — or more specifically, on propositions about NBA games — through the use of inside information. Both of these cases have crazy factual details, and the NBA betting one also involves some interesting, novel legal issues.Also: an update on lawsuits over National Guard deployments (and some theories about why an unfavorable ruling for Gavin Newsom did not get a rehearing en banc), a look at the case demanding that Speaker Mike Johnson hurry up and seat the Democrat who won a special election in Arizona several weeks ago, and an update on Hunter Biden-related litigation.Visit serioustrouble.show to upgrade your subscription.

October 25, 2025; 7am: The indictment is one of several brought on by the Department of Justice, which seemingly is targeting perceived political opponents of President Donald Trump. The case against James, specifically, is being sought by interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, a former member of President Trump's legal team with no prosecutorial experience, who accused James of misleading a bank to secure favorable mortgage terms.

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back my friend Joe Walsh, former Republican Congressman, host of The Social Contract with Joe Walsh, and fierce Trump critic. We break down Trump's destruction of the White House's East Wing to build his billionaire ballroom, the hypocrisy of a government shutdown while he enriches himself, and Trump's gluttonous move to demand that the DOJ give him $230 million in damages for past cases. We also discuss the rise of Christian nationalism, Congress's collapse as a check on power, and how courts are handling Trump's orders to deploy the National Guard in American cities. From fake populism to full-blown authoritarianism, this episode confronts what happens when democracy is left undefended.

As President Trump prepares for a week of international travel, his administration is zeroing in on crime both at home and abroad. The President says the U.S. has authority to strike drug-running boats from Venezuela and is considering National Guard deployments in more major cities to combat violent crime. Shannon Bream, Fox News Sunday anchor and host of the Living the Bream podcast, joins the Rundown to discuss the administration's plans and the legal hurdles ahead. Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier were arrested Thursday as part of a federal investigation into a mafia-linked illegal gambling probe.

John J. Lennon is a prison journalist who is currently serving a 25-year sentence in Sing Sing prison in New York. His work has been featured by such leading publications as New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and New York magazine. John's new book is The Tragedy of True Crime. John shares his surreal experience of being on a book tour while inside prison and reflects on his own personal experiences with the "true crime" genre. He also warns about the seductive nature -- and problematic relationship these shows have with reality -- of The First 48, Law and Order, Cops, and others in the reality TV show - crime entertainment genre. John explains how his new book goes beyond the sensationalistic headlines and explores the human side and complexity of four men who have been convicted of murder. Robert Chambers, the so-called “Preppy Killer” of 1980s tabloid fame Milton E. Jones, drawn from petty crime into tragedy as a teenager Michael Shane Hale, a gay man facing the death penalty after a crime of passion Lennon himself, who discovered his voice as a writer while serving time for murder Chauncey DeVega shares what it is like in Chicago as Trump's DHS/ICE immigration dragnet "Operation Midway Blitz" and threats of a National Guard "invasion” have created a climate that feels ripped from a bad dystopian movie. To better understand who would want to take a job working for DHS/ICE as one of its enforcers, Chauncey shares a very important news story from the Intercept where they interview people at a job fair for that government agency.

Synopsis:  The mayoral candidate who's got the nation talking, Zohran Mamdani, is on track to make history as New York City's first Muslim-American and second Democratic Socialist mayor.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  Wherever you are in the county, you've probably heard the name “Zohran Mamdani”. New York City's mayoral race is a national story, and it's hard to overstate the significance of the leading candidate in this moment. If elected, Mamdani would become the first Muslim-American and only the second Democratic Socialist Mayor of the largest city in the U.S. His victory, on a promise to make New York affordable for working people, would have implications for politics everywhere. The race is already garnering both excitement and anxiety. President Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding for New York City if Mamdani wins. From Chicago to Dearborn, Michigan, journalists are watching. In this installment of “Meet the BIPOC Press”, Laura Flanders speaks with Felipe De La Hoz, investigative immigration and policy reporter whose work has been featured in The Intercept, The Washington Post, New York Mag and The Nation; Osama Siblani, publisher and founder of The Arab American News, the largest Arab American newspaper in the U.S., and Asha Ransby-Sporn, organizer and writer for In These Times and co-founder of Black Youth Project 100, where she led the group's national organizing program. Join us as we explore what a Mamdani victory would signal for the nation.“. . . There's this sense that [Left-leaning candidates] have to essentially be apologizing for their policy prescriptions and their stances. Mamdani has not done that . . . For the most part, he very much embraces who he is and what his policy prescriptions are.” - Felipe De La Hoz“I hate giving labels. I don't look at Mandani as a progressive. I look at him as representing the anger and anguish of people who have been left behind with the political apparatus.” - Osama Siblani“More so than I am concerned with Black people being pulled to the Right or being pulled in by Trump . . . I think what we see are people who are disengaged and feel like our political system isn't going to deliver for them at all.

Today, John talks about National Guard presence in San Francisco, a study out of Sacramento State about universal basic income, and takes a look at gubernatorial polling data.

Federalism: May a federal judge enjoin the president from unlawfully deploying the National Guard in California? - Argued: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 11:40:53 EDT

In this episode Jeff opens with a live technical hiccup and plays the familiar "Word on Word" segment comparing John 14:6 (“I am the way, the truth, and the life”) with Proverbs 9:10 (“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”), then pivots into a wide-ranging commentary on current events and media narratives. The episode covers breaking headlines and cultural flashpoints: DOJ indictments linking NBA figures to cartels and illegal gambling, the P. Diddy scandal, and observations about the intersection of basketball, hip-hop culture, and political demographics. The host argues these stories feed into engineered social unrest and class/race polarization, and points to inflammatory rhetoric from politicians and activists as evidence of a coordinated push toward chaos. Political topics include clips from CNN and commentary on Democratic figures making extreme remarks, a contentious Maine Senate primary candidate with Nazi tattoos, and fears of escalating civil disorder. The show examines a leaked memo and comments about the National Guard preparing a national response by April 2026, and explores claims about Presidential Emergency Action Documents (PEADs) and alleged wartime powers being activated — including assertions about military arrests, asset seizures, communications blackouts, and tribunals. Internationally, the host plays and analyzes a clip about how Israel controls narratives around the Gaza ceasefire, detailing three propaganda tactics used to justify Israeli actions, media framing that emphasizes Israeli victimhood, and accusations that ceasefires are routinely broken. The segment connects media strategy, influencer platforms, and geopolitical maneuvers, and critiques efforts to nominate political figures for awards amid ongoing conflict. Throughout the episode the host references several guests and sources (CNN guests, Scott Jennings, JMC wartime report, Israeli Knesset speakers) and offers personal takes on how spiritual perspective and study inform interpretation of current events. The show ends with promos for the host's online course modules, a reminder about an upcoming prayer call and Sunday Bible study, and a call to love God, family, and neighbor amid turbulent times.

Meanwhile, the National Guard could be coming to more cities, the shutdown still has no end in sight -- which Marc Cox tackles -- and Tara Servatius is wondering: Who is JD Vance, really?

On Monday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2–1 that President Donald Trump can deploy Oregon National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, finding it was likely that the president had “lawfully exercised his statutory authority” in mobilizing the Guard. The decision lifted District Judge Karin Immergut's temporary block on the Oregon soldiers' deployment, and the Trump administration asked the judge to lift a second order barring all federalized National Guard troops from deploying to the city. Immergut gave the state and city of Portland 24 hours to respond to the request.Tangle is coming live — this week!We're just a few days away from Tangle News: Live! at the Irvine Barclay Theatre on Friday, October 24 — and I couldn't be more excited.

President Trump has found himself at odds with numerous Democrat governors for his deployment of the national guard, among other things, but some have made their discontent more public than others. Among the loudest voices now opposing the president is JB Pritzker, Governor of Illinois, who joined Bret on Special Report Thursday evening.   Governor Pritzker discusses his tumultuous relationship with President Trump, explaining his opposition on the President's use of the National Guard and ICE, as well as defending his claim that President Trump attempted to ‘Steal the Election.' Governor Pritzker also addresses the scandal involving Virginia Attorney General Candidate Jay Jones' leaked text messages, whose campaign Pritzker had contributed to prior to the scandal.

The Good Liars discuss the day's issues with Senator Padilla of California and Senator Wyden of Oregon.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek says she’s making progress on some of the state’s most pressing problems. But even some of her most ardent supporters seem skeptical and the Democrat is eyeing a likely reelection effort. On the latest episode of OPB Politics Now, reporters Dirk VanderHart and Lauren Dake discuss their recent reporting on Kotek. They talked to dozens of people about how she’s doing. Republicans and Democrats. Lawmakers and lobbyists. And an interesting theme emerged, it seems most everyone thinks she will win another term, but not as many are sure she deserves one.

Is America headed for war with Venezuela? On The Mark Thompson Show, we've been following the strikes against what the Trump Administration claims are "narco-boats" carrying drugs to the US and other countries. Though no proof has been offered in support of that, America continues to blast small boats off the coast of Venezuela to smithereens. So far, the US has blown up at least seven such boats, killing dozens of people. Trump is declaring an “armed conflict” with drug trafficking groups he has deemed international terrorists. He is also positioning dozens of warships, planes and thousands of U.S. troops in the Caribbean Sea. He admitted authorizing CIA covert operations in Venezuela. In addition, Trump is escalating tensions with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, saying he was illegitimately elected and is leading a narcotics cartel. Trump says he is ready to go further than blowing up boats: “we're going to stop them by land." All of this is raising concerns that the US could be marching toward war with Venezuela. With Trump poised to send National Guard troops into Portland and Chicago and threatening to do so in San Francisco, we will look at the court decisions preventing him from making such moves, for now. Former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz will explain. Nathan Taylor from Election Truth Alliance will stop in to update us on his work to shine a light on data he claims indicates possible trouble with the results of the 2024 election of President Trump.

On Day 23 of the federal government shutdown, Senate votes down a bill offered by Republicans to pay the military and federal workers who required to work without pay.

Both criticize a vote in the Israeli Knesset related to Israel's annexing the West Bank; In DC, Republican and Democratic Senators question President Trump's nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait Amer Ghalib over past online posts some see as antisemitic; FBI Director Kash Patel announces arrests in an NBA multi-million dollar gambling scandal, including a player and a coach. Charges include sports bets rigging and operating illegal rigged poker games in cooperation with the mafia. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
