As midterms draw near, President Trump and his policies will be put under more scrutiny than ever, but despite significant losses in off-year elections, some in the party still feel confident about their chances in 2026. Among them is Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who sat down with Bret on Thursday to explain why. Senator Thune explains his opposition to extending Obamacare health subsidies, whether the population should be concerned about a war with Venezuela, and what Republicans are doing to address families grappling with high costs.

A shocking arrest, a record-breaking fraud scandal, and a system Americans are rapidly losing faith in. Tara breaks down how the Brown University shooter was also the MIT murderer, why authorities initially denied the connection, and how the truth emerged anyway. But that's just the beginning. The episode dives into what may be the largest theft from the federal government in U.S. history—potentially $18 BILLION funneled through Minnesota alone—along with evidence suggesting officials looked the other way. The result? A growing sense that taxpayers are being looted on an industrial scale.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the Republican revolt that forced a vote on extending Obamacare subsidies, as four GOP lawmakers joined Democrats on a discharge petition to prevent premiums from doubling for millions of Americans. They analyze the political fallout for House Republicans in swing districts, Speaker Mike Johnson's failed negotiations, and the looming deadline that could leave 22 million people facing higher health care costs. Kander and Gupta also dive into a wave of national turmoil, from mass shootings and rising antisemitism among young Americans to chaos and incompetence inside Trump's law enforcement leadership and explosive reactions to Trump's own rhetoric. Plus, they discuss new reporting on Susie Wiles, deepening MAGA infighting, growing backlash to AI and Big Tech, and fresh polling showing cracks in Trump's base.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 42: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is drowning. Trump’s presidency is DROWNING. Yesterday, it was Republicans forcing a vote to extend Obamacare subsidies. Yesterday, 38 PERCENT approval in the Marist poll. Monday, his Rob Reiner tweet that appalled even the worst of MAGA. Tuesday, Susie Wiles. Friday, the Epstein Files, proving: no, history doesn’t repeat itself but yes, sometimes it LITERALLY rhymes. The Venezuela Wag-The-Dog episode collapsed before it started. It's about Narco-terrorism, whatever the eff that is? Oil? Stuff they stole? Nuh uh. For the first but not the last time we turn to Susie Wiles for the, uh, well, it’s a strange word to use about the Trump administration but here it is: TRUTH. "He wants to keep on blowing boats up until [president Nicolás] Maduro cries uncle. And people way smarter than me on that say that he will." She also single-handedly ended the just-forming prosecution of Jack Smith, and the vowed prosecution of Anthony Fauci, and the already-moribund prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James and Adam Schiff and and and…All those cases will be thrown out of court. All of them. Because Susie Wiles is on tape saying quote “I don’t think he wakes up thinking about retribution but when there’s an opportunity he will go for it.” About Comey, quote: “I mean, people could think it does look vindictive. I can’t tell you why you shouldn’t think that.” Trump’s chief of staff. Confirming it’s retribution. And retribution means selective prosecution and selective prosecution is illegal and you not only get the case thrown out, if you’ve had to defend yourself or your reputation has been hurt, you can sue the government. And it’s on TAPE. So why did she say it? Why did she think she could get away with it? Because inside the White House even the Chief of Staff knows Trump is drowning. And they are beginning to distance themselves from him. B-Block (27:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Laura Ingraham doesn't know Niagara Falls is in Ontario or Ontario is in Canada or that Premier Doug Ford isn't an American. I make bad choices in Exes. And these MAGA idiots just cannot see anything in the world any more without trying to force it into their brain-dead templates: it MUST be political and it MUST be an attack on Trump. New York City councilwoman Vickie Paladino "knows" the terrible shooting was an attack on Republicans at Brown University, and the moronic troll "Cat Turd" is sure they're wiping the shooter's social media history clean (which is an idea he should execute). C-Block (37:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I'm off by only four days from the exact anniversary, but it is now 42 years since I first met and interviewed Trump and I know most of us who knew him before knew he was nuts, but I must give myself credit. An hour after that meeting I was asking a colleague "what the eff is wrong with THAT guy?"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That speech wasn't just good — it was strategic. Tara breaks down why Donald Trump's tightly focused, 18-minute address may be one of the most important speeches heading into the midterms. From crushing prescription drug prices to exposing massive health care fraud tied to Obamacare, insurance companies, and illegal immigration, Trump finally said out loud what most Americans never hear — because if you don't listen to talk radio, you have no idea what was done to this country. This episode explains the corruption, the incentives, and why repeating this message every single day could change everything.

For the first time in weeks, Trump sounded like Trump — focused, disciplined, and deadly clear. In this episode, Tara breaks down the speech that finally connected the dots for everyday Americans: inflation + housing costs + illegal immigration + corruption — all tied together in one message. From affordability and interest rates to housing shortages, welfare incentives, crushed wages, and massive fraud, this was the explanation millions of Americans have been waiting to hear — especially those who don't live on talk radio.

President Trump stayed on script last night as he rattled off all the accomplishments he's made over the last 11 months. It was a crisp 19 minutes with the big highlight being the announcement that our military service members will receive a warrior dividend in the amount of $1776.00. The payment amounts to about $2.5 billion for the 1.4 million active duty service members. It is a nice Christmas bonus to celebrate our bravest and their service to this country. This morning, the president woke up to good news as well, inflation is down to 2.7%. This is a 5 year low as all the experts predicted something around 3.1%. Four Republicans defected and signed a discharge petition with Democrats on the ACA subsidies. Republicans have been very vocal in exposing how awful Obamacare is, including lining the pockets of insurance companies and being filled with fraud. Now is the time for Republicans to provide a healthcare solution that actually serves the people. Biden's presidential library is more-likely to be a roadside stop somewhere in Delaware as he struggles to raise money. It's the holiday season, but President Trump's Washington never slows down.

Fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—   Number One— The manhunt for the killer at Brown University is continuing and by all accounts—law enforcement has very little to go by—and that has people in Providence Rhode Island on edge—   Number Two— Speaker Mike Johnson was able to deliver a credible alternative to Obamacare for the first time as the House was able to overcome a few Republicans that did not join the vote—the question is what happens in the Senate—   Number Three— President Trump has once again ratcheted up the pressure on Venezuela—something he mentioned during his primetime speech to the nation last night from the White House—

In this episode, I break down what really happened during the recent government shutdown—and why it matters far beyond the headlines. I walk you through how the standoff between Republicans and Democrats over healthcare funding put millions at risk, and how the political maneuvering behind closed doors quietly determined the fate of those lives. From the targeted removal of Obamacare subsidies to deep cuts in Medicaid, I unpack how these policy choices translate into real-world consequences, including tens of thousands of preventable deaths.I also shed light on the lesser-known tactics lawmakers use to avoid accountability—like strategically assigning votes to retiring politicians or those far from reelection. And I grapple with the moral dilemma at the heart of this crisis: When one side is willing to let children go hungry or deny medical care to exert political pressure, how does a functioning democracy respond? It's a conversation about power, ethics, and the cost of political gamesmanship on human lives.In this episode, you will learn:(00:34) How the shutdown exposed the realities of U.S. healthcare politics(01:10) Why cutting Obamacare subsidies put millions at risk(02:00) How both parties pushed competing plans to reopen the government(02:55) Why eight Democrats crossed party lines at the decisive moment(03:40) How lawmakers hide behind “just enough votes”(04:05) How political timing shields certain legislators from backlash(05:15) The moral dilemma behind letting 50,000 people die vs. starving children(06:30) Why negotiating with political extremism mirrors dealing with a psychopath(07:45) How this same dynamic shows up in war and global conflict(08:20) What the end of the shutdown really means for public healthLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

The U.S. government is admitting responsibility in the deadly midair collision near Washington, D.C., that killed 67 people. Federal filings cite air traffic control errors and a faulty altimeter aboard an army helicopter. The Senate has now passed the ROTOR Act, strengthening helicopter tracking requirements and closing military loopholes.President Trump addressed the nation on Wednesday night, pointing to what he called economic gains since returning to office. Trump also teased what he described as aggressive housing reforms and announced a $1,776 “Warrior Dividend” for U.S. service members. Separately, Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth attended a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base for U.S/ personnel killed in Syria.Lawmakers in the House just passed a Republican plan to bring down the cost of health care, without extending subsidies for Obamacare. The bill would lower premiums and provide subsidies for low income families for out of pocket health expenses. It now goes to the Senate where it's expected to fail without democratic support. In a separate vote, 4 republicans joined Democrats to force another vote on a 3 year clean extension of the COVID-era Obamacare subsidies.

Congressional gridlock is setting the stage for a potential healthcare sticker shock as enhanced Obamacare subsidies face expiration, leaving millions bracing for higher premiums. California regulators then put Tesla on notice, threatening to suspend new-car sales over allegedly misleading “self-driving” claims. The hour also turns deeply personal as the children of filmmaker Rob Reiner speak publicly following the arrest of their brother in their parents’ murders, before closing with renewed hope in the decades-old JonBenét Ramsey case as investigators revisit evidence using modern DNA technology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joe Pags breaks down Speaker Mike Johnson's narrow healthcare victory after a House GOP rebellion over Obamacare, explaining why this moment matters and what it means for everyday Americans. Then Pags takes on Ilhan Omar, highlighting her latest interview missteps and fact-checking her claims as she once again proves why her rhetoric doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Finally, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, now running for Florida governor, joins Pags for a wide-ranging conversation. They dig into immigration honestly — why Democrats spent years pushing open borders and don't care about “law and process,” what's really driving the political messaging, and why Donalds says Democrats prioritize power and control above all else. They also discuss healthcare costs, rising insurance premiums, COVID-era misinformation, and how Florida plans to enforce the law and send illegal immigrants home without giving in to what Donalds calls radical-left outrage. A strong, substantive hour grounded in facts and accountability. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stigall believes it's the seminole issue of our political era. It changes everything about our country and our system if not properly handled and prosecuted. The raid on President Trump's home has now been officially uncovered as unauthorized and illegal by Biden's own FBI. Still, AG Garland and Biden proceeded with the raid. Mark Weaver joins the show to discuss the significance of this finding and where we go from here. Did you know assisted suicide is now legal in 12 states? That came as news to Stigall. How does it fit in with the discussion of Obamacare? He explains.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack Sen. John Fetterman's clarification on U.S. strikes against Venezuelan drug boats, wince at House Republicans helping Democrats push an Obamacare subsidy extension, and vent over the deeply troubling conduct of police and politicians in the Brown University shooting investigation.First, they respond to Sen. Fetterman's explanation that U.S. intelligence on the Venezuelan drug boats is clear and comprehensive, with American officials knowing exactly who and what is on board. Jim argues that President Trump's national security team should declassify as much of this information as possible so the public can hear the facts directly.Next, they groan as four House Republicans sign a discharge petition forcing a vote on the Democrats' Obamacare subsidy extension bill. If it passes, pressure will immediately shift to Senate Republicans to follow suit. Jim questions what the point of the shutdown fight was if this is the inevitable outcome, while Greg asks why Republicans in competitive districts can't offer a stronger alternative instead of aligning with Democrats.Finally, they react to the latest, deeply unreassuring statements from officials overseeing the Brown University shooting investigation. Authorities refuse to say what students told them the shooter said before opening fire and are openly scolding reporters for asking questions they don't like.Please visit our great sponsors:Try Quo for free at https://Quo.com/3ML and keep your existing number—Quo means no missed calls, no missed customers.Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Stop putting off those doctors' appointments and go to https://ZocDoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.New episodes every weekday.

McClain weighed in on Democratic messaging around the economy, arguing that Democrats are trying to take credit for fixing problems that they themselves have created, particularly on healthcare and affordability issues. McLaughlin also discussed the broken promises of Obamacare and why Republicans are focused on lowering premiums and expanding choice for consumers. Finally, Benson and Rep. McClain discussed the importance of private-sector job growth over government-subsidized employment as the country works to climb out of the economic hole left by the Biden administration.

Jen Psaki shares highlights and insights from a new Vanity Fair article based on interviews with Donald Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles.

12/17/25: Joel Heitkamp is joined on "News and Views" by former Congressman Earl Pomeroy to talk about the Affordable Care Act. Congressman Pomeroy served as North Dakota’s at-large U.S. Representative from 1993 to 2011 and North Dakota Insurance Commissioner from 1985 through 1992. On the night that the House passed the Affordable Care Act in March 2010, Congressman Pomeroy cast the 218th out of 219 votes to pass the bill. Then that November, he was one of 63 Democrats who lost their seats because of his support for the 2010 health care law, sometimes known as Obamacare. As we near the end of the year, it's looking likely that Congress will leave without extending Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies. The enhanced subsidies for ACA marketplace plans will expire, spiking premiums for millions of Americans, with many seeing the price tag of their plans double or triple.

From association health plans to modest regulatory relief, the GOP offers small steps while insurance companies keep cashing checks. Meanwhile, Democrats push exactly what Obamacare was designed to deliver all along: Medicare for All. In this episode, Chris breaks down why the ACA was built to fail, how expiring subsidies are being used as leverage, and why calling healthcare a “human right” opens a Pandora's box that the U.S. system—unlike Europe's—simply isn't built to handle.
