Episode 5463: Spearheading The Bill Pulte Nomination

There's a lot on the docket today. To pull apart the Iran “deal” framework, Mary and Andrew are joined by Tess Bridgeman, an international law expert who served as a legal advisor in the Obama administration through the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. Tess lays out how President Trump's 14-point memorandum of understanding differs from what was brokered in 2015, and what to watch for as negotiations continue. Before she joins, the co-hosts begin by analyzing several examples of what Mary calls the Trump Justice Department's "consistent effort” to avoid judicial review: their refusal to put into a sworn declaration that they won't move forward with the “Anti-Weaponization” fund and a motion to dismiss a Clean Air Act violation lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI data center in Mississippi. They also tackle a few instances where, contrastingly, the government has positioned itself “on the offense” this week, including an indictment of 15 protesters on a conspiracy charge against ICE and the DHS' intent to build a border wall through a holy landmark atop Mount Cristo Rey in New Mexico.

As the Epstein Investigation by the House Oversight Committee heats up again because of a sustained pressure campaign by Epstein Survivors, and new witnesses are called forward, including Bill Gates and now Alan Dershowitz (Epstein's criminal defense attorney), insiders wonder if Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing for AG can survive, or whether there are enough Republicans to jump off the bandwagon. Popok, with recent interviews from Epstein Survivor Dani Benski and Senator Whitehouse, explains why the Epstein Scandal may not just be Trump's undoing but Blanche's too.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 456 – BOB DOLE: The Life That Brought Him There, Part 37The Bush Years (1989–1992) (B): The Tower Nomination (2) – The Fight!!The battle lines are drawn.What began as what appeared to be a routine confirmation for former Texas Senator John Tower to become Secretary of Defense quickly exploded into one of the most bitter and contentious nomination fights in modern Senate history.In this episode, we follow the escalating political war that engulfed the Senate as allegations concerning Tower's personal conduct, drinking habits, and relationships with defense contractors dominated headlines across America. Democrats questioned whether Tower possessed the judgment necessary to lead the Pentagon, while Republicans argued that an accomplished public servant was being subjected to rumor, innuendo, and character assassination.At the center of the fight stood Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole. A longtime colleague and friend of Tower, Dole emerged as one of the nomination's most forceful defenders. As the controversy intensified, Dole worked behind the scenes and on the Senate floor to rally Republican support, challenge the accusations against Tower, and defend what he believed was the constitutional responsibility of the Senate to judge a nominee fairly.The confirmation battle soon became about far more than John Tower. It became a struggle over partisanship, personal character, the advice and consent role of the Senate, and the future relationship between Congress and the newly inaugurated Bush Administration.Through committee hearings, floor speeches, media scrutiny, and intense political maneuvering, we examine how the nomination transformed from a personnel decision into a national political showdown. Along the way, we hear from the senators who fought for Tower, those who opposed him, and the leaders who understood that the outcome would set a precedent reaching far beyond a single nomination.This is the fight—the bruising Senate battle that tested friendships, challenged political loyalties, and became one of the defining confirmation struggles of the late twentieth century.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports a Senate panel has postponed a confirmation hearing for national intelligence chief nominee Jay Clayton after President Trump ordered him not to show up.

After a week of decisions coming in from all corners, Mary and Andrew begin with a court order issued to remove President Trump's name off the Kennedy Center after a failed, last-minute attempt by the administration to stop it from happening. Mary refers to this as “good news in the fight against revisionist history,” which she ties into their second beat: a preliminary injunction issued to restore changes to National Parks that were made after Trump issued an executive order calling for modifications to monuments, parks and memorials to rewrite and censor American history and science. Then, onto a federal judge in Virginia officially blocking the $1.776 Billion slush fund after mixed messaging from the administration about whether it would be set up, plus a decision by Judge Mehta in DC to overturn the Department of Energy's cancellation of $82.1 Million in clean energy grants to “Blue” states across the country. Mary and Andrew also touch on a Massachusetts District Court decision blocking Ken Paxton's lawsuit against the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue. And last up, they read and summarize the eyebrow-raising grand jury transcripts of the “Broadview Six” case out of Chicago, so you don't have to.  Further reading: Here is Judge Mehta's order reinstating the clean energy grants: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.296214/gov.uscourts.mad.296214.41.0.pdf   Sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads.

Nineteen Jeffrey Epstein survivors publicly opposed Todd Blanche's nomination to become permanent attorney general, arguing that his role in the administration's handling of the Epstein files showed a failure of transparency and accountability. Their statement came after reporting that Blanche and other senior officials participated in Situation Room meetings focused on managing the political fallout from the Epstein records controversy. The survivors said they were alarmed that top officials appeared to treat the matter as a reputational problem instead of an opportunity to investigate what happened, protect survivors, and give the public a full accounting.The group specifically criticized Blanche for overseeing the release of Epstein-related files while serious questions remained about redactions, withheld documents, and the exposure of survivors' personal information. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has also tried to distance herself from the controversy, telling lawmakers that Blanche was responsible for the process. Blanche's nomination now faces added pressure as House Oversight Chair James Comer has said he plans to subpoena him for testimony in July, while survivors continue pushing Congress to put witnesses under oath and force a clearer record of how the DOJ handled the Epstein and Maxwell files.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Group of Epstein survivors announce opposition to Todd Blanche's attorney general nomination | CNN Politics

Send us Fan MailEpisode 455 – BOB DOLE: The Life That Brought Him There, Part 36The Bush Years (A): The Tower Nomination (1) – Who Is John Tower?With the election of President George H. W. Bush in 1988, a new Republican administration arrived in Washington, but one of its first major battles would become one of the most controversial cabinet confirmation fights in modern American history.Before we can understand the nomination battle itself, we must first understand the man at its center: former Texas Senator John Tower.In this episode, we examine Tower's remarkable rise from a young Texas history professor to the first Republican elected to the United States Senate from Texas since Reconstruction. We follow his twenty-four-year Senate career, his emergence as one of the Republican Party's leading voices on national defense, and his tenure as Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, where he became one of the nation's foremost authorities on military affairs.We also explore Tower's relationship with fellow Republican leaders, including Senator Bob Dole, President Ronald Reagan, and Vice President-turned-President George H. W. Bush. Along the way, we examine his role in Cold War defense policy, arms control negotiations, and the Iran-Contra investigation that further elevated his national profile.By January 1989, Tower appeared to be the obvious choice to become Secretary of Defense. Few Americans possessed his depth of experience in military affairs, and his confirmation seemed almost certain. Yet within weeks, allegations concerning his personal conduct, drinking, and ties to defense contractors would ignite a political firestorm that would divide the Senate and place longtime allies like Bob Dole in a difficult position.This is the story of the man before the battle—a look at the life and career that brought John Tower to the center of one of the most dramatic confirmation fights in Senate history.

Decisions are happening fast — and the consequences are showing. Last week, Trump announced he would nominate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to the top post at the Justice Department, after Blanche nixed the $1.776 “Anti-Weaponization” fund while keeping the controversial release that shields Trump and his family from any liability. Mary and Andrew highlight the myriad of issues Blanche will need to answer for when a confirmation hearing comes, before moving to the Supreme Court ruling that allows Alabama to adopt a Republican-drawn congressional map eliminating one of only two majority-Black districts in the state. This nullifies a lower court's decision that the map was, in fact, intentionally discriminatory. Next up, the co-hosts review a Rhode Island judge's ruling that invalidated several of Trump's immigration policies, including one that placed a hold on asylum claims globally, causing chaos and uncertainty for many legally trying to obtain asylum claims and green card status.And lastly, a beat on a new executive order stripping job protections from thousands of federal workers, plus continuing litigation over Trump's ballroom.

Dems Outraged Over Trump's Nomination...Again and a Regular Anniversary!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Senate vote-a-rama is underway as Republicans push toward passage of a 70-billion-dollar budget reconciliation package to fund the Trump administration's immigration enforcement priorities. The process began this morning with an amendment from Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer that would have sent the bill back to committee and prohibited funding for the President's proposed 1.8-billion-dollar "anti-weaponization fund." That vote stretched nearly four hours before failing, 50 to 49. Senators then turned to an amendment from North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis that would have redirected the fund's money to the Justice Department's anti-fraud efforts. That proposal was also rejected. At the White House, President Trump announced he intends to nominate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to serve permanently in the role. The president also unveiled 700 million dollars in funding for coal plants and energy infrastructure projects across 11 states. And President Trump weighed in on the war with Iran and his appointment of Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

 Oregon voters resoundingly rejected a statewide ballot measure that would have raised the state gas tax from 40 to 46 cents and  doubled car title and registration fees to help fund road maintenance and other transportation projects. Measure 120 was widely expected to fail, especially as gas prices continue to soar in Oregon and across the nation.   Last year, Gov. Tina Kotek and Democrats in the Legislature approved a bill that included the gas tax and fee hikes, but Republican lawmakers succeeded in raising enough signatures to put the issue before voters. Democrats, however, countered by ensuring the measure appeared on the May ballot instead of in November, when Gov. Kotek is up for reelection.    Gov. Kotek will now face Republican state Sen. Christine Drazan in a rematch of the 2022 gubernatorial race. On Tuesday, Republican voters selected Drazan to be their gubernatorial nominee over former Portland Trail Blazer Chris Dudley, state Rep. Ed Diehl and other candidates.    OPB political reporter Lauren Dake joins us for more details about Drazan’s victory and the failed gas tax measure.

HEADLINE: Kevin Warsh's Nomination to the Federal Reserve GUEST: Elizabeth Peek SUMMARY: Elizabeth Peek discusses Kevin Warsh's nomination as Federal Reserve Chair, characterizing him as an inflation hawk who intends to revamp the Fed's communication and narrow its mandate. Warsh aims to shrink the $7 trillion balance sheet and divorce the institution from political influence to ensure long-term monetary stability.2. HEADLINE: New York City's E-bike Enforcement Controversy GUEST: Elizabeth Peek SUMMARY: Elizabeth Peek criticizes NYC's decision to replace criminal summonses with civil penalties for e-bike violations. She argues this "virtue signaling" protects undocumented immigrants from deportation at the expense of pedestrian safety. Unregistered, fast-moving bikes frequently ignore traffic rules, and civil penalties are difficult to enforce against those without fixed abodes.3. HEADLINE: The UAE's Strategic Exit from the OPEC Cartel GUEST: Jonathan Schanzer SUMMARY:Jonathan Schanzer explains that the UAE is leaving OPEC to increase oil production, signaling a major rift with Saudi Arabia. This move aims to aid global prices and support Donald Trump's economic agenda. Meanwhile, Iran attempts to link the Straits of Hormuz crisis with Israeli-Lebanese ceasefire negotiations to complicate diplomacy.4. HEADLINE: International Scandals and Israel-Ukraine Tensions GUEST: Jonathan Schanzer SUMMARY:Reports suggest Qatar influenced ICC prosecutor Karim Khan to target Israeli leaders while helping suppress misconduct allegations against him. Simultaneously, Ukraine accuses Israel of purchasing stolen grain from occupied territories. Internally, Israeli politics are shifting as Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett unite to challenge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership.5. HEADLINE: The Global Impact of the Iranian Energy Conflict GUEST: Mary Kissel SUMMARY: Mary Kisselhighlights a fertilizer crisis caused by the war in Iran, which threatens global food security, particularly in Africa. She views the UAE's OPEC exit as part of a fundamental regional reshaping. Kissel asserts that the U.S. must maintain the political will to secure waterways and address Iran's nuclear program.6. HEADLINE: Navigating the Rodriguez Transition in Venezuela GUEST: Mary Kissel SUMMARY: Delcy Rodriguez, Venezuela's provisional president, is traveling to project stability and attract energy investment. While she aims to present herself as a cooperative figurehead, her future depends on U.S. demands for democracy. Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado continues to draw massive support and plans to return to Venezuela by year's end.7. HEADLINE: German Economic Stagnation and Strategic Critiques GUEST: Judy Dempsey SUMMARY:Friedrich Merz describes Germany as "humiliated" by Iran due to a lack of clear U.S. strategy. Germany faces its fourth year of stagnant growth and a severe demographic crunch with record-low births. While Merz remains an Atlanticist, he critiques the Trump administration's transactional approach and lack of a strategic exit plan.8. HEADLINE: The Decline of Viktor Orbán and Hungary's Pivot GUEST: Judy Dempsey SUMMARY:Hungary's business elite are moving away from Viktor Orbán as Peter Magyar gains popularity by campaigning against systemic corruption.
