Josh opens the show with a fiery case for why Congress must pass the SAVE America Act immediately, pointing to the ongoing vote-counting chaos in California, where ballots are still being counted more than a week after Election Day. Josh argues that Americans deserve election results they can trust and questions how one of the nation's largest states continues to struggle to deliver timely outcomes. Joining the program is Joel Pollak, Opinion Editor at California Post, who provides the latest on California's vote count and examines whether the outcome was driven by election fraud, controversial ballot-harvesting practices, or a system that many voters believe lacks transparency. Pollak and Josh discuss what these delays mean for election integrity and whether reforms are urgently needed. Later, Josh turns to Iran as the United States launches another round of strikes against the regime. He breaks down President Donald Trump's latest comments and argues that the recent military action reveals something critical about the President's approach to foreign policy: strength, deterrence, and a willingness to act when America's interests are on the line. Josh explains why he believes the administration's actions are sending a clear message to both Tehran and America's adversaries around the world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Writer and cultural critic Phoebe Maltz Bovy joins Meghan to discuss her new book, The Last Straight Woman, an exploration of how heterosexual women became suspect — if not pitifully uncool — in progressive culture. They talk about everything from Tumblr-era feminism and the post-#MeToo recalibration of gender politics to the television series Sex and the City and Girls, "photogenic feminism," bachelorette parties at gay bars, late-in-life lesbians, hookup culture, and why admitting you're a "boring straight woman" may now qualify as a radical act. We also revisit the "lesbian chic" era of the 1990s (my personal heyday), the discourse around the viral New Yorker short story Cat Person, the appeal (and limits) of sexual fluidity narratives, and the cultural overlap between straight female culture and gay male sensibilities. Bonus: They switched gears in the last 15 minutes and did a Deep Dive™ into the subject of buying secondhand clothing from online marketplaces such as Poshmark.

President Trump recently made a profanity-laced post on Truth Social regarding the war in Iran… Greg and Holly discuss how effective this type of language really is in the US's interest. Jay Evensen, Opinion Editor of the Deseret News, joins the show.

Steve and Holly speak with Jay Evensen, Opinion Editor of the Deseret News, about the troubling rise of treating military action like a political wager. The conversation explores why normalizing speculation, sensationalism, and “betting” on strikes erodes public trust, trivializes human consequences, and fuels reckless decision‑making.

Ex Prince Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday in a massive police raid linked to the Epstein files — but not for the crimes most people expected. UK investigators are examining whether the former Prince used his role as a trade envoy to improperly share “Official Secrets” and confidential government documents with Jeffrey Epstein. Under the Official Secrets Act, these allegations of “insider trading” of state secrets carry a potential life sentence. Is this a legal technicality being used to force a confession on the wider Epstein scandal – or a fake arrest to appease the masses? Is the UK simply trying to distract from the Epstein Files, or using a tactic similar to how the US eventually caught Al Capone for tax evasion after they couldn't convict him for other crimes?

Minneapolis journalist reflects on continued ICE operation following deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti All eyes have been on Minneapolis in recent weeks, following the deployment of large numbers of ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents to the area in December. The heightened federal presence has coincided with deadly use-of-force incidents that have ignited national concern, including the fatal shootings of ICU nurse Alex Pretti on Jan. 24 and poet and mother of three Renée Nicole Good on Jan. 7. Those and other deaths, as well as the federal government's handling of the investigations, have become focal points of protests, calls for accountability, and broader debates about public safety and civil liberties. Earlier this week, the "Sound of Ideas" Host Stephanie Haney spoke with Minnesota Star Tribune Opinion Editor Phillip Morris. Morris is also a former longtime columnist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He shared what he's been seeing on the ground and his thoughts on the broader political and legal ramifications to come. Wednesday's show will start with that conversation, then we'll turn to Springfield, Ohio, where Gov. Mike DeWine recently warned of a potential ICE operation coming to central Ohio. More than 12,000 Haitian immigrants with temporary legal status were about to see their protections end this week, before a judge delayed that order Monday. Guest: - Phillip Morris, Opinion Editor & Vice President, Minnesota Star Tribune Judge ruling keeps legal protections for Springfield's Haitian immigrants intact Springfield, Ohio is home to a large Haitian immigrant community living with Temporary Protected Status. TPS is a federal designation that allows people from countries facing extraordinary conditions such as natural disasters or ongoing instability, to live and work legally in the U.S. For Haitians, that protection was first granted after a massive earthquake in 2010 and has been renewed several times amid continued political and humanitarian crises, such as the assassination of Haiti's president in 2021. The most recent extension was set to expire on Feb. 3. But on Monday, a federal district judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending TPS. In addition, residents are bracing for a possible ICE enforcement operation reported to begin today. According to the Department of Homeland Security, as of Dec. 16, ICE agents have arrested at least 280 residents in Columbus and the surrounding area, in what has been called Operation Buckeye. Guests: - Kathryn Mobley, Education and Politics Reporter, WYSO - Heather Prendergast, Immigration Attorney, Aljijakli, Kosseff & Prendergast, LLC - Marjory Wentworth, Leadership Team Member, Springfield G92 - Viles Dorsainvil, Executive Director, Haitian Community Help and Support Center

In a bit of a stunning statement by the president, President Trump has said that he wants to nationalize elections, rather than let the states run them.

Greg and Holly unpack one of the most dramatic international operations in recent U.S. history: the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. The hosts walk through how the mission unfolded, why it was years in the making, and the legal and constitutional firestorm now erupting in Washington and at the United Nations. Greg breaks down the indictment, the questions surrounding the legality of the U.S. strike, and the high‑stakes courtroom battle beginning in Manhattan as Maduro and his wife face a federal judge.     Utah voices bring the story home: local leaders who fled Venezuela, community members reacting to the capture, and what this means for Venezuelans living in the U.S. Hear from SLCO Councilmember Carlos Moreno, who is from Venezuela and understands the complications there firsthand. Mayra Molina, Executive Director for the Venezuelan Alliance of Utah, also joins the show to describe how the Venezuelan community in Utah may be feeling after this capture.     Jay Evensen, Opinion Editor of the Deseret News, breaks down the international implications, from sovereignty disputes to whether this capture of Maduro may be a warning to other countries. What precedent does this set? Jay also discusses what a peaceful transition of power might look like for Venezuela.     Utah Immigration attorney, from Venezuela, Carlos Trujillo, shares his perspective on Maduro's capture and what Venezuelans need to know about temporary protected status.     Greg and Holly also zoom out to understand how Venezuela reached this moment—oil, corruption, cartels, and the long arc of U.S.– Venezuela tensions. Becky Bruce, Host and Producer of Hope in Darkness: The Josh Holt Story,  speaks to the history in Venezuela and what led up to this moment. Becky also reflects on the story of American Josh Holt, who was held in a Venezuelan Prison for crimes he did not commit.   Kirk Hawkins, Professor of Political Science at Brigham Young University who focuses on Latin American Politics, dives deeper into the politics at play and who's stepping in now that the President of Venezuela has been captured.  

Opinion journalism on Russia has become a high-stakes enterprise since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, shaped by audiences sharply divided by politics and geography. At the center of these pressures are editors tasked with deciding which arguments deserve a platform, how much context readers need, and what constitutes responsible discourse. Few desks confront these challenges more directly than the opinion section of The Moscow Times. Against that backdrop, The Naked Pravda spoke with Charlie Hancock, the outlet's opinion editor, about how the job has changed in recent years. In the interview, Hancock describes her path into Russia-focused journalism, the unexpected editorial challenges that emerged early in the war, and the debates that now shape opinion writing on Russia. She also discusses navigating legal and political constraints, handling reader criticism, and balancing sharply divergent viewpoints while maintaining editorial coherence — and her own sanity.

Europe's center of gravity has shifted eastward, and few political leaders stand out as capable of leading the necessary changes to revitalize, rather than regulate, the aging West. The Washington Post's new editorial vision hopes to address these concerns, shaping how we think about ourselves and our allies in the coming years. The first step in avoiding Europe's fate here at home is confronting the complacency that assumes we could never backslide. And part of that responsibility rests with the media.

Hollywood celebrity Zachary Levi refuses to be censored. The actor, best known for starring in Shazam!, Hotel Tehran, and voicing Flynn Rider in Tangled, supported RFK for President, says “woke” is “indicative of any ideology that sacrifices logic, reason”, and even spoke out “against Pfizer in early 2023.” He was one of a small handful of celebrities who publicly mourned Charlie Kirk. As expected, Hollywood has not responded kindly – he's reportedly been blacklisted by actor peers and multiple studios.
