Podcast appearances and mentions of Newt Gingrich

What would the Founding Fathers think of America today? That question sparked historian and novelist Johanna Neuman's new book, Trump's Superpower, in which George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and other founders — plus revolutionary-era writer Mercy Otis Warren — are summoned back to earth for America's 250th birthday and dropped into today's culture wars. Neuman joins Newt Gingrich to discuss the novel's premise, her argument that reclaiming the founders is President Trump's greatest political strength, and why she believes the Founding Fathers are trending again in American culture. The conversation also covers Neuman's remarkable journalism career — from covering the Reagan White House and Jim Baker's State Department to writing Gilded Suffragists, her award-winning history of the fashionable New York socialites who helped push women's suffrage over the finish line.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 1006 uses the beloved 1990 teen rebellion movie "Pump Up the Volume" to ask a deeper question: what happens when you take "Truth is a virus" and unrestricted free speech into the real world, where the fascists aren't outsiders trying to break in—they're already running the show? Driftglass and Blue Gal trace the death of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 through the rise of Hate Radio, Gingrich's language wars, Citizens United, and the collapse of every institution that was supposed to protect democracy from tyranny. The episode explains why lying became profitable, why corporate media's "Both Sides" obsession taught citizens that democracy was somebody else's job, and why an uninformed public is the only thing tyranny has ever needed. It's about how free speech got inverted, and why the FCC villain in a 1990 teen movie may have been onto something after all.Links for this episode: The movie “Pump Up The Volume” (1990) is streaming ($) on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, and Fandango At Home.  Clips are available on YouTube.  Music from the “Pump Up The Volume” soundtrack can be found at this YouTube playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjDvaXwceFJTg_uhw4cymaJGtBdJZT7OJ&si=RxUS9h7X1OeGsbY2 Music clips from this episode: Was Not Was:  Dad, I'm In Jail   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MZKkz4xefk Above the Law: Freedom of Speech  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q338zPrnwGw The movie “Pump Up The Volume” (1990) is streaming ($) on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, and Fandango At Home.  Clips are available on YouTube.  Driftglass on other podcasts!   Nicole Sandler   https://nicolesandler.com/7-8-26/ Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Hello Interactors,Welcome to summer where Interplace turns its attention to physical geography and the environment. It's already a crazy El Niño — thanks in large part to global warming — and the United States is having a big birthday. How might these be related and what to do about it?What follows is not a celebration or a condemnation, but more of a reckoning. I look at what was built, what was deliberately forgotten, and what is now continually arriving, season by season, in forms of weather the founders could not have imagined.Although Alexander Humboldt — one of the world's most famous scientists at the time — did warn Jefferson of the effects of human-induced climate change in 1804. He based his prediction on changes he observed in forests and water systems as a result of mono-crops and industrial “steam and gas”. Jefferson ignored him.BUILDING, BURNING, BILLOWING BACKOn this momentous 250th Fourth of July, when the world is experiencing record level extreme weather events, let's reflect on how over the last 250 years the United States helped build, extract, and then burn the material and political conditions that made climate change possible. From the beginning, it tied itself to land, extraction, mobility, and expansion. Over time those commitments became an energy system built on coal, oil, gas, highways, suburbs, industrial agriculture, and a development model that treated nature as an inexhaustible storehouse. That legacy is now legible in the atmosphere itself. Let's light a Roman Candle in celebration!Even before the 4th of July fireworks celebrations create another nationwide 42% average increase in fine particulate matter (Seidel, et al., 2015), the United States bears the single largest share of cumulative historical CO₂ emissions of any nation . We represent roughly 20 percent of the global total since 1850 contributing approximately 0.2°C of warming to date (Carbon Brief, 2021; UNEP, 2023). To represent four percent of the world's current population and be responsible for nearly a fifth of its cumulative warming is not a coincidence of geography or fake news. It is the outcome of deliberate choices about how a republic would be organized, energized, and expanded across two and a half centuries.The United States has long imagined freedom in spatial terms: movement, property, settlement, mastery, frontier, and circulation. Those abstract ideals were made real through land theft and remade landscapes, as well as through infrastructure built in significant part by African and African American enslaved labor. Each step along the way depended on ever-greater throughput of energy, labor, and material. In that sense, the country's history is also a history of how thought became organized around extraction and exploitation, until those thoughts and actions themselves became a kind of common sense. But by the late nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries increased industrialization meant emissions grew. They surged during the postwar era and peaked in the early 2000s — a trajectory that maps almost exactly onto the spatial project of suburban expansion, highway construction, and fossil-fuel-dependent agriculture (Climate Change Tracker, 2024). Two-thirds of the country's cumulative warming impact derives from fossil CO₂ alone. The built environment of American freedom is as inseparable from the chemical footprint it left behind as a firecracker's scattered debris and carbon residue.This leaves us with a climate crisis that is not just the result of a few bad policy choices in the late twentieth century. We exist in a cumulative outcome of a long national project that normalized combustion as prosperity and treated atmospheric consequence as some distant abstraction. Kind of like turning up the radio to drowned out the sound of your car making a funny noise. The federal state government played a central role in this process. Not only through direct policy and subsidies, but through the development of roads, ports, power systems, agricultural regimes, and military logistics that expanded the scale of fossil dependence at every scale of national life.The fossil fuel industry understood this trajectory earlier than the public was permitted to know. A systematic analysis published in Science found that ExxonMobil's own scientists accurately projected and skillfully modeled global warming due to fossil fuel burning from as early as 1977. These projections are consistent with subsequent observations. And yet, for decades, the company publicly pushed doubt and denial (Supran, Rahmstorf, & Oreskes, 2023). Consequently, what America projects as “economic growth”, fueled enormously by the fossil fuel industry, is embedded not only in a collective national memory but in the scientific record.The irony is that America's confidence in its own permanence rested on a false sense of geography. The landscape seemed stable because the costs were displaced in the form of upstream mining, downstream pollution, hidden emissions, imported and exported harm, and deferred climate effects. The effects on the atmosphere made that displacement impossible to sustain. The ‘progress' that had been scattered across space and time returns as heat, drought, fire, flood, and increasingly volatile weather. We built a world in which the rewards of extraction were immediate while the penalties were delayed. Call it what you will — the climate crisis is just the debt of delay, dressed as disaster.KNOWING, NEGLECTING, NEUTERING KNOWLEDGEThe USA did not simply keep burning and expanding on autopilot. By the late twentieth century, it had also begun to lose the institutional capacity to understand what its own trajectory meant. The problem was no longer that the 1970's scientific picture Exxon had already portrayed was absent. The evidence was clear. By the early 1990s the United States had ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and formally accepted the goal of returning greenhouse-gas emissions to 1990 levels by the end of the decade.The barrier to progress was not ignorance, but a degraded relationship between knowledge and power. This was engineered in part by more fossil fuel industry campaigns to sow doubt about science it privately accepted. Historians of science Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway documented how a loose-knit network of industry-connected scientists ran effective campaigns to mislead the public on issues from tobacco to climate change. They exploited the media's tendency toward false balance and keeping controversy alive long after scientific consensus had been reached (Oreskes & Conway, 2010). The strategy was to make certainty seem uncertain, and it worked. For decades, political inaction persisted through every window of action that may have helped.By the mid-1990s, climate change had become legible enough for federal institutions to name, study, and plan around, but the machinery of governance was being bent in the opposite direction. Newt Gingrich and the Republicans who rose with him may not have invented anti-government politics, but they weaponized it. Curiously, through pro-governmental politics. While their rhetoric promised efficiency and modernization, in practice it often meant cutting staffs, weakening committees, abolishing subcommittees, and treating the legislature less as a site of deliberation than as a theater of permanent combat. After all, their own staffers affectionately referred to Gingrich and his wrecking crew as ‘jihadists' — even as those same politicians promulgated and attached that term as a slur toward Muslims. One of the most consequential acts of this period was the 1995 defunding of the Office of Technology Assessment. This was a bipartisan, independent body that had produced over 750 reports on complex scientific and technical questions since 1974, including major studies on energy policy, environmental risk, and the long-range consequences of atmospheric change. Gingrich had vowed to kill the OTA during his 1994 election campaign. He kept his promise, and with it eliminated one of Congress's primary mechanisms for converting scientific knowledge into durable legislative capacity (Wikipedia, Office of Technology Assessment; AAAS Science, 2019).A legislature cannot respond intelligently to a long-range atmospheric crisis if it has stripped away the very mechanisms designed to synthesize evidence, test assumptions, and tackle complex questions over time. What replaced deliberations mediated by experts was a vacuum quickly filled by industry lobbyists — the same industry that, amongst themselves, knew exactly what Gingrich was doing. Research on institutional dynamics in climate governance consistently finds that fragmented policy, weak intergovernmental coordination, and the erosion of technical capacity are among the most significant barriers to effective long-range climate action (Jaisridhar et al., 2025; Birchall, Bonnett, & Kehler, 2023).The thinning of Congress's own cognitive infrastructure in 1995 was a bureaucratic adjustment that disabled the country's capacity to govern on topics beyond the timescales and dimensions of a single administration. The political system was becoming less capable of converting recognition into sustained action precisely as the need for that conversion became most urgent. The United States not only helped create the conditions for warming but undermined its own capacity to govern the effects warming created. The atmosphere was warming and so was the willful weakening of the world's most powerful potential partner in planetary protection.CASCADES, CRISES, AND COMING TO TERMSWhat follows is not simply a warmer world, but a less legible and actionable one. Once a political system weakens its own capacity to think long-term, it becomes ill-equipped to face a future that arrives not as a single rupture but as a cascade of self-reinforcing disruptions. We've all experienced or read about hotter summers, fire, more erratic rainfall, stressed coasts, shifting storm tracks, and weather that no longer behaves as the old seasonal calendar once did. Anthropogenic warming is already increasing variability in frequency and severity of weather systems. This in turn can alter local precipitation variability, storm behavior, and the climatic conditions on which seasonal expectations have long depended (Robinson, 2021; Wang et al., 2017; Scher & Messori, 2019). In several regions, climate change is expected not only to shift average conditions but to change seasonal predictability itself — especially for rainfall — making the future harder to read through the calendars and risk assumptions modeled and built from the past (Le et al., 2023; Delsole et al., 2014).Even now, the atmosphere offers a live demonstration of this instability. On June 11, 2026, NOAA officially declared that El Niño has arrived — with a 63 percent probability of reaching “very strong” intensity, defined as sea surface temperature anomalies of at least +2°C in the equatorial Pacific. This would rank it among the largest events in the historical record (NOAA, 2026). What makes 2026 categorically different from prior super events is not just its projected intensity but its baseline. This El Niño begins from the warmest ocean temperatures in human history, layered onto anthropogenic warming that has already pushed the planet to 1.55°C above preindustrial levels.As one paper argued in April, the El Niño is the accelerant; the fuel was already stacked (Hansen et al., 2026). The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has placed an 86 percent probability on at least one year between 2026 and 2030 surpassing 2024 as the warmest on record, with 2027 — when El Niño's thermal lag typically produces its most extreme global signals — as the most likely candidate (WMO, 2026).When that variability is layered onto long-term warming, the result is not just discomfort but a deeper erosion of climatic predictability. ENSO — the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, the coupled ocean-atmosphere system that drives El Niño's periodic warming and its counterpart La Niña's cooling across the tropical Pacific — is not a new phenomenon, but its behavior is changing. Model evidence indicates that ENSO-related rainfall variability is likely to intensify and shift eastward under greenhouse warming, creating more severe and sometimes novel climate conditions across the terrestrial tropics (Cai et al., 2021; Rifai, Li, & Malhi, 2019). The question is no longer whether the climate will change, but how many of the social and political structures built on climatic regularity can survive that change.Climate change is often presented as a technical or environmental problem to be solved. Especially amidst a culture of pervasive techno-optimism. But climate change is way more fundamental than this. It's a reordering of the relationship between how we need to think and the geography in which we exist. This includes political geography and a reordering of political imagination as it relates to physical geography. The old originally envisioned republic of the USA assumed that land could be mastered, seasons could be predicted, and institutions could absorb shock without losing coherence. Those assumptions no longer hold.The old assumption that infrastructure could be planned around stationary baselines is increasingly at odds with the evidence. We can already see how energy systems show measurable vulnerability to climatic uncertainty and extremes. Modeled systems evidence declines in reliability and large performance gaps when future weather variation is not adequately incorporated into planning (Perera et al., 2020; Ouyang et al., 2023).As a result, the challenge ahead is not adaptation to these changes in the narrow sense, but reconstruction of our relationship to them in the broad sense. This may seem impossible in today's American political system, but truly Democratic societies will need stronger scientific institutions, more durable legislative capacity, and trustworthy public agencies able to interpret risk before disaster becomes routine. They will need not only infrastructure, but intelligence. Embodied intelligence — embodied engagement with physical and social environments rather than as a purely singular-brain augmented by LLM computation. This includes a renewed ability to gather, preserve, and act on knowledge over long horizons.The literature on adaptation governance is clear that resilience depends on organizational learning, intergovernmental collaboration, inclusive planning, and long-term institutional capacity. Short-term, reactive, market or donor-driven interventions that respond to emergencies without building the durable frameworks that prevent them won't work (Birchall et al., 2026; Rahman & Islam, 2024). What this means practically is the reconstitution of the kind of congressional expertise that was dismantled in 1995. We need not merely revive the OTA but to imagine a broader democratic intelligence infrastructure capable of thinking on the timescales that climate change demands — decades, generations, and centuries. Without that, climate change will continue to be experienced as a succession of emergency, political, or market conditions rather than as a governable transformation.We can do this. After all, a country that once imagined itself through movement, expansion, and mastery made a certain kind of freedom seem natural. A new kind of freedom can be made to seem natural too. But right now our current system returns prosperity for many — but heat, flood, instability, and constraint for all. What was built now must be lived within — good and bad — while what was extracted must now live in the atmosphere — all bad. What gets burned today, will burn more later. The political order that was built through extraction, combustion, and territorial expansion must confront the atmospheric and hydrological consequences of those choices.That confrontation will only intensify. Past century's cumulative emissions have already committed the planet to changes that will outlast any government, living generation, or institution that exists. Including you and me. The next 250 years will belong less to societies that imagine escape than to those that can build the institutional intelligence, infrastructural redundancy, and long-term public capacity required to inhabit a less legible and hospitable climate (Ouyang et al., 2023; Jaisridhar et al., 2025).So, as you watch the rocket's red glare and bombs bursting in air — sending even more smoke, chemicals and debris everywhere — know the flag will still be there. But to endure, it must repair an institution to be once again knowledgeable and fair.ReferencesBirchall, S. J., Villeneuve, K., Rose, D., Baran, N. N., & Adams, S. (2026).

Send us Fan MailEpisode 457 – BOB DOLE: The Life That Brought Him There, Part 38The Bush Years (1989–1992) (C): The ADA, the 1990 Budget Deal, and the End of the Bush Administration (Season Finale)As the George H. W. Bush years draw to a close, Senator Bob Dole finds himself at the center of some of the most consequential legislative battles of his career.In this season finale, we examine three defining chapters of the Bush Administration and Dole's role in shaping them.First, we look at the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, landmark legislation that transformed opportunities for millions of Americans. For Bob Dole, a wounded World War II veteran who spent years overcoming the challenges of disability himself, the issue was deeply personal. We explore how Dole worked across party lines to help move the legislation through Congress and why the ADA became one of the proudest achievements of his public life.Next, we turn to the bitter struggle over the 1990 budget agreement. Facing mounting deficits and economic uncertainty, President Bush entered negotiations with congressional leaders that culminated in a controversial bipartisan deal. The agreement broke Bush's famous "Read My Lips: No New Taxes" pledge, triggering outrage among conservatives and creating divisions within the Republican Party that would linger for years. We examine Dole's difficult position as Senate Republican Leader and his efforts to navigate the competing demands of governing, party loyalty, and fiscal responsibility.Finally, we trace the final years of the Bush presidency, from the triumph of victory in the Gulf War to a slowing economy, rising political challenges, and the turbulent 1992 election. As President Bush's popularity declined and Governor Bill Clinton emerged as a formidable challenger, Bob Dole increasingly found himself looking toward the future—and toward the possibility of his own presidential campaign.This episode closes the story of Bob Dole's journey from war hero to Senate Republican Leader and one of the most influential figures in Washington during the Bush years. Along the way, we have witnessed the experiences, struggles, triumphs, and setbacks that shaped the man who would soon become the Republican Party's standard-bearer.Next season, the story continues with BOB DOLE: 1995 – Clinton's Comeback, as America enters a new political era marked by divided government, the Republican Revolution, and the opening chapters of Bob Dole's final quest for the presidency.The life that brought him there is complete. The campaign that will define his legacy is about to begin.

What is (considered, presented as) the highest aspiration of an American – indeed, of mankind…? And, if confronted with the truth, would we heed the warning…? The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, [is] from the LORD. All the ways of a man [are] clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Every one [that is] proud in heart [is] an abomination to the LORD: [though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD [men] depart from evil. When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better [is] a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. — Proverbs 16:1-9 KJV Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played Angel and the Badman FULL MOVIE John Wayne – YouTube [x] [22:56–23:49] Inside the Awkward U.S.-Saudi Alliance Against ISIS | Confronting ISIS | FRONTLINE – YouTube The Rest [x] = Mentioned / Discussed [x] Proverbs 16 (KJV) – The preparations of the heart [x] Dystheism – Wikipedia [x] Misotheism – Wikipedia [x] Philippians 2 (KJV) – If [there be] therefore any [x] Romans 5 (KJV) – For when we were yet [x] Donald Trump, Trickster God | The Baffler [x] Matthew 4 (KJV) – Then was Jesus led up [x] Martin Luther King Jr. Day – Wikipedia [x] Martin Luther King Jr. – Wikipedia [x] A More Perfect Union: Rev.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich provides an update on the current incursions of New World Screwworm across the southern border of the United States.  The discussion includes of the movement of the fly across the Darien Gap into central America and then its movement into Mexico. Gingrich also discusses the lifecycle of the fly, how it infects animals, and current prevention measurements using sterile male flies. He also provides information about the current challenges with fly capacity and the efforts to alleviate this issue. The response effort will rely on the success of daily inspection of animals and reporting all suspected cases. Reporting cases will provide information to state and federal animal health officials to know where to institute prevention measures such as sterile fly dispersals, traps and ground release of flies. Veterinarians should train clients how to identify cases and develop protocols for treatment and prevention. This training should include discussions on at-risk animal groups as well as delaying wound-causing procedures or developing prevention protocols when wounds are caused by a procedure. The FDA has evaluated several products for treatment and prevention of New World Screwworm and Gingrich discusses this authorization process as well as which products have been approved for cattle.  Gingrich also encourages all veterinarians to educate themselves using the available resources and to communicate to members in their communities the facts about this fly with reliable resources and information.  AABP New World Screwworm page - https://aabp.org/resources/screw_worm/ USDA New World Screwworm landing page - https://www.aphis.usda.gov/animals/animal-health/livestock-and-poultry-disease/stop-screwworm USDA New World Screwworm new detections dashboard - https://www.aphis.usda.gov/animals/animal-health/livestock-and-poultry-disease/current-status/us-confirmed-cases-new-world FDA New World Screwworm page - https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/safety-health/new-world-screwworm-information-veterinarians    

Episode 996 of The Professional Left takes a hard look at the media circus surrounding the Maine Democratic Senate primary, asking who is actually stirring the pot, why they're stirring it, and who benefits when a private matter between a married couple drowns out every important conversation about the Republican incumbent's actual record. Driftglass and Blue Gal walk through a long and inglorious history of political sex scandals — from FDR to Gary Hart to Newt Gingrich — to put the whole thing in perspective and make the case that the bar for Democratic candidates is being set in a very different place than it is for Republicans. The New York Times, The Bulwark, and the usual cast of Both Sides Do It pundits all make 'but the Democrats' appearances, right on cue. And a deeply revealing New York F-ing Times piece about young men who get their political opinions from Joe Rogan and still somehow blame Both Sides equally turns out to be less a portrait of a generation in search of answers and more a masterclass in how conservative propaganda and legacy media complicity get permanently bonded together.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

The Republican Party has traditionally been the party of the business class. But since the era of Newt Gingrich in the 1990s, the GOP has been marked by internal strife and ideological chaos — and in the last presidential election, the business class overwhelmingly supported Harris over Trump. Historian Paul Heideman considers the makings of a far rightward shift by the GOP, which has not been matched by an equivalent leftward turn of the Democrat Party. Paul Heideman, Rogue Elephant: How Republicans Went from the Party of Business to the Party of Chaos Verso, 2025 Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash The post How the GOP Lurched Further to the Right appeared first on KPFA.

In a new interview, Gingrich says Clinton's impeachment process got trivialized by focusing on the sex scandal rather than the underlying felony of perjury.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chuck Todd walks through a primary night that should make every elected Republican break out in a cold sweat — Democrats outvoted Republicans by 100,000 votes in Georgia. He argues we now have a fully formed "woke right" — and Trump is leading it. The man who built his political brand on refusing to conform to anyone's mindset has become the most aggressive cancel culture warrior in American politics, ending the careers of Republicans who cross him. The downstream consequences are catastrophic for the GOP: Republicans will now have to dump enormous money into Texas to defend a seat that was supposed to be safe, and Texas joins North Carolina and Ohio as an expensive trio Republicans will struggle to defend. Trump appears either clueless or in denial that he's systematically setting his own party up for massive failure, but Chuck notes a "YOLO caucus" is quietly emerging among Senate Republicans who know they're toast and may act more independently. He closes with a moving tribute to Barney Frank, who died at 86 after 32 years in Congress — the architect of Dodd-Frank, the first openly gay member of Congress, who came out in 1987 at the height of the AIDS crisis and endured Gingrich-era homophobia that he felt punished him beyond what any straight politician would have faced. Frank's parting message to today's Democrats sits at the center of Todd's episode and arguably explains why the party keeps losing winnable elections: "Don't litmus test yourselves into oblivion." Finally, he answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment. Predict the action all the way through the finals.

Frank's parting message to today's Democrats sits at the center of Todd's episode and arguably explains why the party keeps losing winnable elections: "Don't litmus test yourselves into oblivion." Then. former Senator, Tennessee Governor, and Education Secretary Lamar Alexander joins the Chuck Toddcast to discuss his new memoir The Education of a Senator and an offer his extraordinary perspective on American politics shaped by five decades in public life — including the surreal experience of being sworn in as governor under emergency circumstances because his predecessor was openly selling pardons for cash and eventually went to prison for selling whiskey licenses. (For listeners absorbing the news of Trump's modern pardon market, the historical echoes are impossible to miss.) Alexander shares stories that capture an entirely different era: how he had to govern in a bipartisan manner from day one to handle the scandal he inherited, how an inquiry surfaced about springing MLK's killer from prison, and how Southern governors of his generation had to drag their states out of the 1950s and into something resembling modernity. Alexander argues that style matters enormously in politics — and reveals that he predicted Trump's presidency years before it happened, because he saw clearly that American politics was being consumed by money and media in ways that disincentivized actual legislating. He walks through his theory of education reform, defends "No Child Left Behind"'s standards-based approach, and offers the wonkish but fascinating idea he once pitched to Reagan: have states and the federal government swap administration of Medicaid and K-12 education. The conversation broadens into Alexander's diagnosis of what's gone wrong with American politics and the path back. He argues that partisan primaries have created more ideologically extreme candidates than the system can absorb, and that people will always find ways around campaign finance limits — meaning the real fix has to be structural. Alexander offers a remarkable assessment of recent presidents: governor is the best preparation for the presidency, Carter didn't understand Washington when he arrived but Clinton did, and George W. Bush was the most "normal guy" of the modern era. He reflects on his famous healthcare debates with Obama (both gave each other notes afterwards rather than playing for spectacle), shares his concerns about state budgets becoming dangerously reliant on vice taxes, and asks the question no Republican can answer honestly anymore: could you propose raising the gas tax in today's GOP? Alexander is candid about Trump's mixed legacy — the party had become ossified and Trump did break it open, but pardoning the January 6th rioters was a profound error because the peaceful transfer of power is the single most important element of American democracy. He warns that we lack genuine two-party competition right now, that the next Republican nominee needs a fundamentally different temperament than Trump, and that the lack of character and morality in modern politics may be dissuading exactly the kind of people we most need to run.

ALT TITLE OPTIONS Lindsey Graham Under Fire in South Carolina Redistricting Battle GOP Civil War Erupts Over Jim Clyburn's District Trump Allies Furious After South Carolina Senate Vote One Congressional Seat Could Decide America The Uniparty Panic Is Here DESCRIPTION A political firestorm erupts in South Carolina after Republican lawmakers join Democrats to block a Trump-backed redistricting push. Today's episode breaks down accusations of betrayal inside the GOP, the battle over Jim Clyburn's congressional district, and why conservatives believe control of Congress could come down to one seat in 2026. EPISODE SUMMARY Today's episode dives deep into the explosive redistricting battle unfolding in South Carolina after several Republican state senators joined Democrats to stop a special redistricting effort supported by allies of Donald Trump. The conversation centers around criticism aimed at Republican leaders including Henry McMaster, Lindsey Graham, and Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey. The host argues the failed vote protected a congressional district represented by Jim Clyburn that conservatives claim was created through unconstitutional racial gerrymandering. The episode also explores broader national political themes, including Republican frustrations with establishment figures, debate surrounding the Supreme Court's role in redistricting, and concerns that control of the U.S. House could hinge on only a handful of congressional districts in the 2026 midterms. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is referenced extensively, comparing the current political climate to historic shifts in American political power and arguing that the Trump movement is reshaping the Republican Party in a historic way.

ALT TITLE OPTIONS Lindsey Graham Under Fire in South Carolina Redistricting Battle GOP Civil War Erupts Over Jim Clyburn's District Trump Allies Furious After South Carolina Senate Vote One Congressional Seat Could Decide America The Uniparty Panic Is Here DESCRIPTION A political firestorm erupts in South Carolina after Republican lawmakers join Democrats to block a Trump-backed redistricting push. Today's episode breaks down accusations of betrayal inside the GOP, the battle over Jim Clyburn's congressional district, and why conservatives believe control of Congress could come down to one seat in 2026. EPISODE SUMMARY Today's episode dives deep into the explosive redistricting battle unfolding in South Carolina after several Republican state senators joined Democrats to stop a special redistricting effort supported by allies of Donald Trump. The conversation centers around criticism aimed at Republican leaders including Henry McMaster, Lindsey Graham, and Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey. The host argues the failed vote protected a congressional district represented by Jim Clyburn that conservatives claim was created through unconstitutional racial gerrymandering. The episode also explores broader national political themes, including Republican frustrations with establishment figures, debate surrounding the Supreme Court's role in redistricting, and concerns that control of the U.S. House could hinge on only a handful of congressional districts in the 2026 midterms. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is referenced extensively, comparing the current political climate to historic shifts in American political power and arguing that the Trump movement is reshaping the Republican Party in a historic way.

ALT TITLE OPTIONS The Establishment Is Panicking Over Trump's Redistricting War One District Could Change America Forever Gingrich Warns: A Historic Political Collapse Is Coming The Bush Era Is Dying — And Washington Knows It Redistricting Battle Sparks GOP Civil War DESCRIPTION A massive political realignment is unfolding as conservatives argue the old Republican establishment and Democrat “Uniparty” are losing control. Today's episode breaks down the Supreme Court redistricting ruling, the battle over congressional maps, and why some believe Donald Trump is on the verge of one of the biggest political victories in modern American history. EPISODE SUMMARY In today's episode, the focus turns to the growing political war over congressional redistricting and the future of Republican power in America. The discussion centers around claims that establishment Republicans and Democrats spent decades using race-based district maps and institutional control to preserve political power while weakening working-class Americans and conservative voters. The episode highlights reactions to a recent Supreme Court decision involving congressional districts and explores how conservatives believe the ruling could dramatically reshape the 2026 midterms. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is cited as arguing that America may be entering one of the most significant political realignments since the fall of the Federalist Party in the early 1800s. The conversation also dives into criticism aimed at establishment Republicans, including Lindsey Graham and state GOP leadership figures accused of resisting Trump-backed reforms. The broader theme throughout the episode is the idea that a historic battle is taking place between populist conservatives and entrenched political elites, with control of Congress potentially hinging on only a handful of districts. KEY TALKING POINTS Debate over congressional redistricting and Supreme Court rulings Claims that race-based district maps unfairly shaped elections Discussion of political realignment inside the Republican Party Donald Trump positioned as a disruptive force against the political establishment Newt Gingrich compares the current political climate to the fall of the Federalist Party Concerns that control of Congress could come down to a single district Criticism of establishment Republican figures in South Carolina Discussion about the future of the GOP and the “America First” movement SEO KEYWORDS Trump vs establishment, redistricting battle, Newt Gingrich, Lindsey Graham, South Carolina politics, Supreme Court redistricting, congressional maps, GOP civil war, America First movement, Uniparty, Trump political movement, 2026 midterms, Republican establishment, political realignment YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION A political earthquake may be underway in America. Today's episode explores the battle over congressional redistricting, the Supreme Court ruling shaking up the political map, and why some conservatives believe the old Republican establishment is collapsing in real time. Featuring discussion on: Donald Trump and the “America First” movement Newt Gingrich comparing today's moment to the fall of the Federalist Party Growing tensions between MAGA conservatives and establishment Republicans Why one congressional district could determine control of the House The ongoing redistricting fight in South Carolina Will this reshape American politics for decades to come? #Trump #Politics #Redistricting #MAGA #Congress #Republicans #SouthCarolina #SupremeCourt #LindseyGraham #NewtGingrich THUMBNAIL TEXT THE UNIPARTY IS PANICKING TRUMP'S BIGGEST FIGHT YET REDISTRICTING WAR ONE DISTRICT CHANGES EVERYTHING ESTABLISHMENT COLLAPSE?

Tara breaks down stronger-than-expected jobs data, rising wages, and bold predictions of a political and economic shakeup heading into the midterms. HOOK The economy is “smoking hot” heading into fall — at least according to new jobs numbers and top political voices. Tara says the data signals a major shift, and some insiders are predicting a political earthquake ahead. DESCRIPTION Today's AMPERWAVE DAILY dives into fresh economic data showing U.S. job growth beating expectations, with payrolls rising by 115,000 and wage growth holding steady at 4.4%. Tara and Lee break down claims that the economy is rebounding after years of wage stagnation and inflation pressures tied to federal spending and monetary policy under President Joe Biden. The episode also highlights commentary from economic voices like Larry Kudlow and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who argue the economy and political landscape are shifting rapidly ahead of the next election cycle. Tara also discusses broader debates over wages, inflation, purchasing power, and how recent policy shifts under President Donald Trump may be impacting economic momentum and voter sentiment heading into the midterms. KEY TOPICS Stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report Wage growth and purchasing power trends Inflation vs. earnings debate ADP employment data and revisions Economic comparison: Biden vs. Trump eras Midterm election predictions Newt Gingrich forecast of GOP gains Larry Kudlow on economic acceleration Federal Reserve / inflation policy implications SEGMENTS SEGMENT 1 — “Jobs Report Shock” Tara opens with the latest employment data showing 115,000 new jobs added, with unemployment steady at 4.3%. The discussion focuses on why economists were caught off guard and what the numbers suggest about underlying labor market strength. SEGMENT 2 — “Wages vs. Inflation Battle” The conversation turns to wage growth at 4.4% and debates over inflation's impact on purchasing power. Tara argues that rising wages may be slowly offsetting earlier inflation pressures tied to government spending policies. SEGMENT 3 — “Economic Policy Showdown” The hosts compare current economic trends with previous years under President Joe Biden and discuss claims that earlier monetary expansion contributed to inflation and wage stagnation concerns. SEGMENT 4 — “Midterm Earthquake Predictions” Political heavyweight commentary from Larry Kudlow and Newt Gingrich fuels speculation that Republicans could see significant gains if current economic momentum continues into the election cycle under President Donald Trump.

Hour 2 opens with Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge breaking down the unusually cold May weather, dubbed “Blackberry Winter,” with temperatures dipping into the 30s and prompting a discussion of unpredictable seasonal shifts in the Midwest. The conversation quickly moves into Missouri politics, where Marc strongly backs efforts to move school board elections to November in order to increase voter turnout, while criticizing teachers unions and local officials who oppose the change in areas like St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield. The hour includes a preview of State Rep. Mike Koslow's testimony regarding heated legislative debate over the proposal and a broader argument that low-turnout elections allow organized political interests to maintain control. Later, Marc reacts to California politics, mocking progressive mayoral candidate Katie Porter's far-left positions on energy, immigration, and transgender sports issues while framing her as emblematic of statewide political decline. The hour wraps with skepticism toward media claims about President Trump's Iran negotiations, as Marc rejects reports suggesting an Obama-style nuclear deal revival and instead cites Newt Gingrich's view that Iran may be pressured into major concessions under Trump's strategy.

Newt talks with Sean Spicer, the 30th White House Press Secretary, about his new book, “Trump 2.0: The Revolution That Will Permanently Transform America.” They discuss how President Trump’s second term in office could be among the most consequential in history. Spicer argues that Trump’s second term will be fundamentally different because of four years of planning by groups like the America First Policy Institute and Gingrich’s America’s New Majority Project, which studied lessons from the first term and built a detailed policy blueprint. He emphasizes that Trump now relies on long-standing loyalists who understand his agenda to serve in roles in the White House and cabinet, reducing internal resistance that hindered his first term in office. Looking ahead, Spicer defines the key theme of Trump 2.0 as “permanency” using legislation rather than executive orders to lock in policy changes that cannot be easily reversed by future administrations. Their conversation concludes with a discussion about Spicer’s extensive political memorabilia collection.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a commoditized industry, most insurance producers rely on their technical knowledge to win deals. But knowledge is no longer the differentiator - energy, conviction, and a hyper-specialized niche are. If you are still trying to be a generalist "lone wolf," you are capping your growth and leaving your clients at risk.My guests, Stephen Gingrich and Brandon Ernstes of Houchens Insurance Group, join me to discuss how their team-selling model has allowed them to write 10 times the business they did as individuals. We break down the "Starting Five" philosophy of agency growth, why young producers should never rely on relationships to win, and how niching down into the ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) market transformed them from "just another broker" into sought-after industry experts. We also discuss the power of building a brand on LinkedIn and why Brandon, a former skeptic, is now an inbound lead believer.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callcompletegameu.com/agaKEY MOMENTS(00:00) Sharing a Mic: Live from a Conference in Milwaukee(01:15) From Life Insurance to Benefits: Stephen's Design for Impact(03:10) The Science Experiment: Brandon's Path from Coal Mines to Insurance(05:12) The "Starting Five": Why You Need Different Skill Sets to Team Sell(08:15) Dropping the Ego: Taking a Short-Term Pay Cut for Long-Term Scale(11:00) Value Over Age: How Young Producers Win in the C-Suite(14:20) Energy is 80% of the Sale: Why Technical Knowledge Isn't Enough(17:35) The ESOP Niche: Why Ownership-Minded Companies are the Ideal Clients(21:45) Verticalization: Getting Young Producers Up to Speed 100% Faster(25:10) The Skeptic's Journey: From Content Doubt to Inbound Success(29:30) Why You Must Act Like a News Channel for Your Prospects(33:45) Major and Minor: The Blueprint for Scaling New Producers(37:20) Rapid Fire: 4:30 AM Routines, F45 Workouts, and 10X is Easier than 2XCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Today on the Gist, the US and Iran are supposedly in peace talks, but the real terror might just be the Iranian Navy's choice of "loose ski masks." Then, Maya Kornberg from the Brennan Center for Justice joins the show to discuss her new book, Stuck: How Money, Media, and Violence Prevent Change in Congress. A look back at wave elections, like the class of '74 and the '94 Gingrich revolution, explains how procedural changes, centralized party power, and the gutting of independent expertise have led to today's dysfunctional legislative branch. Finally, in the spiel, looking back at the blocked JetBlue-Spirit Airlines merger now that the Trump administration is proposing a government bailout for the failing carrier.

Samuel Gingrich graduated with the class of 2019 and now works in market research, analyzing survey data for business clients. It is exactly the kind of work that demands the full breadth of a Cambridge education at once. His episode centers on what Cambridge calls the "both/and" approach to the humanities and the sciences. In his professional life, that integration is not philosophical; it is practical. Understanding what a set of numbers means is one skill. Knowing how to shape those numbers into a narrative that is persuasive and worthy of a busy client's attention is another. When the moment came to draw on both, he knew exactly where to reach. He draws the same line through debate. The capacity to reason live, to go toe to toe with a client about what the data actually shows, is not something cultivated quickly or easily. It took years of practice doing exactly that in a Cambridge classroom. Cambridge turns twenty the same year Samuel turns twenty-five. He has spent his entire conscious life shaped by it, and he is grateful for every year.

Episode 981 traces the Republican descent from the 1990 New York Times editorial warning about Gingrich's "slash and burn" politics through Limbaugh, Fox News, and Trump—a 36-year disaster that Liberal bloggers warned about while being dismissed as cranks. Driftglass and Blue Gal use a science-fiction classic AND a rebuilding story from the not-too-distant past to argue that democracy can be rebuilt and improved, with new/old systems to prevent the next Trump. This episode marks 21 years of Driftglass blogging to, in the case of one popular post, 33,000 total views, while MAGA bottom-feeders pull millions daily.  But Driftglass insists that the work is more necessary than ever. It's about consequences, not retribution, actions, not sins, and why rebuilding will take a generation—so what? Nobody promised it would be easy or quick.Link for this episode:  Science Fiction University, “The Day The Earth Stood Still” in Historical Context  -- https://www.sciencefictionuniversity.com/2024/04/the-day-earth-stood-still-in-historical.html Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

SEASON 4 EPISODE 70: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: We are all looking at it backwards: That was Tulsi Gabbard’s passive-aggressive mini-coup against Trump - about Iran, and the elections. That's what she did in her Senate testimony – and what her deputy Joe Kent did when he resigned, a day earlier (and you think THAT was a coincidence of timing?) In a kind of bizarre code, through omission and not commission, they called Trump a liar about Iran and nukes. Not nobly or bravely. But they did it. They left no other conclusion that Trump was and is lying about Iran. Under oath. And THEN Gabbard passive-aggressively called Trump a LIAR AGAIN about the seized ballots in Georgia. Under oath. She testified that HE sent her. It might be a break in the damn; it might be trivial. It is NOT nothing. Because everybody has a moment in which they realize that they have to protect their own assets - and this might've been theirs. Lord knows all the allies have found theirs. Trump literally has no support from anyone, and the EU just started talking to Iran about a deal to get its ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump is neck high in quicksand that he ordered and installed - and he's run out of people to blame. Plus I'll explain what the hell Trump meant when he said “DIG WE MUST" instead of "drill baby drill." (It was his brain defaulting back to 1962 and it's a really bad sign). B-Block (26:00) SPORTSBALL TONIGHT: Are there ANY good feelings left from the US Olympics Men's Hockey Gold? Now the scorer of the winning goal, Jack Hughes, is demanding they give him the puck rather than enshrine it forever at the Hockey Hall of Fame, and an ESPN commentator is demanding we ignore "politics" and admit Russia to the next international tournament (while Russia is aiding Iran, who we are - like it or not - at war with). (34:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Newt Gingrich falls for an internet troll who wants to create an instant Trump Canal in the Middle East using nukes. Rachel Maddow becomes the umpteenth commentator to insist HER favorite Trump scandal should be getting more attention than the others. And not only did the Los Angeles Dodgers desecrate Dodger Stadium by slapping a sponsor name on it - but they then lied and said they HADN'T sold the naming rights. C-Block (56:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: My great grandfather not only turned down stock - circa 1907 - in the company that would become General Motors, but according to family lore he gave the owner the idea for the NAME "General Motors."

War reveals who people are—the best of us and the worst of us. In this special episode, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff takes you inside his fiery appearance on MSNBC's Deadline White House with Nicolle Wallace, sounding the alarm about Trump's reckless march toward war with Iran, the extremism driving today's culture wars, and the urgent need for real leadership and accountability. Fresh off hits on NewsNation and Stephen Colbert, he explains why this could actually be one of the most unifying moments in recent American history—even as the drumbeats of war grow louder in the Middle East and chaos spreads at home, with opposition to a new war in Iran rising from NFL legends like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed to conservatives like Newt Gingrich and unlikely critics like Megyn Kelly and Steve Bannon.​ Rieckhoff digs into how Trump and his allies have crossed into every part of American culture—sports, entertainment, even Spongebob—and why the backlash matters, from the growing popularity of opposing ICE to a broad public rejection of another Middle East war and the central role of independents—now roughly 45% of the country—in defending core American values. He goes deep on the stakes for veterans and military families, including alarming new moves by the VA to put homeless veterans under guardianship and a broader effort to turn the Pentagon into the tip of the spear for an extreme culture war—from banning books and rolling back women's rights to pushing Christian nationalism—calling it the most dangerous course for America's future and a test for politicians, retired generals, civic leaders, and every independent American -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.
