Jon Ossoff's first attack ad against Mike Collins tests whether Republican divisions over the Epstein files can shape Georgia's U.S. Senate race.

The men serving Trump are so used to getting away with punking people, including too many members of the media, that they sometimes walk into a trap they don't see coming, and the truth slips out. Like Todd Blanche—Trump's personal attorney masquerading as acting AG—having to own the fact that he collaborated with Ghislaine Maxwell to protect Trump. Or Jay Clayton, the DNI nominee, showing that he has zero self-worth and that he's ready to do anything to help POTUS try to steal the election in the fall. Plus, the administration has too much of an obsession with d*icks—and trying to rewrite African-American history as well. And parents with young kids be warned: Vance has an issue with eating corn dogs and has an odd reaction to Biden licking an ice cream cone. Michael Steele joins Tim Miller.Show notes: Michael's "The Weeknight" on MS NOW Longer clip of Ossoff's exchange with Jay Clayton Tim's episode with Clint Smith from the July 4th weekend "This Is Your Land," the book Tim referenced Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to www.joindeleteme.com/BULWARK and use promo code BULWARK at checkout.

Today's Headlines: Pete Hegseth announced that the military will now annually screen all service members over 30 for testosterone deficiency with voluntary testing for under-30s who are concerned, and testosterone replacement therapy available to anyone who wants it — which is gender-affirming care, offered by the guy who banned gender-affirming care. In Congress hearings, Todd Blanche's attorney general confirmation hearing featured him calling himself "the president's lawyer — was the president's lawyer" in real time, being grilled about the Epstein files coverup, Ghislaine Maxwell's prison spa with an emotional support puppy, and the fake IRS settlement, while Texas Senator John Cornyn said he hasn't decided how to vote. Meanwhile, Jay Clayton, Trump's pick for Director of National Intelligence overseeing all 18 spy agencies, spent his hearing refusing to say who won the 2020 election, offering only that Biden "was certified" — which is the kind of answer that tells you everything you need to know. On the Epstein files, Epstein's email friend Kathy Ruemmler testified that her emails with him were "taken out of context," which is the phrase everyone involved with Epstein eventually lands on, while JD Vance went on Joe Rogan and called himself "one of the OG Epstein conspiracy theorists," said Epstein had access to the highest levels of American and Israeli intelligence, and admitted the administration "absolutely screwed up" the files release — which is a remarkable set of statements from a sitting Vice President. Vance's Secret Service detail is also reportedly fed up with his family using military helicopters for his eight-year-old's golf lessons and house-hunting trips at $16-24,000 an hour. Finally, the widow of Corey Comperatore — killed at Trump's Butler rally — said in an interview she believes the assassination attempt was an "inside job" based on a government report showing the Secret Service missed over 100 local radio warnings about the shooter, and is hoping Trump will reach out to answer her questions, and the Trump administration is considering requiring some green card applicants to post $100,000 bonds at US consulates abroad as a condition of their applications, with the money returned only after they become citizens — a five-year minimum process — and no word on who keeps the interest.

President Trump is teasing a "really big" Thursday speech on election integrity — and Larry connects the dots to Georgia, a Republican-dominated state that somehow keeps sending Democrats to the Senate. That brings in Senator Jon Ossoff's MSNBC sit-down with Jen Psaki, where Ossoff dodges questions on election security by pivoting to gas prices, accuses Trump of "Jim Crow 2.0," and calls Georgia racist — while Larry fact-checks the claim with rising Black voter turnout under the state's 2021 reforms. Plus: a jaw-dropping MSNBC graphic, a flashback to the 2020 Georgia election-night broadcast that raised eyebrows in real time, and Ossoff's not-so-subtle message to the CIA.

Judge today's Democrat Party by who they rush to defend versus the American lives they ignore. We examine the latest ICE agent attack, high-profile cases of citizens killed under border policies (Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nungaray), the brushed-aside methamphetamine overdose toll, and the broader collateral damage from open borders, soft-on-crime approaches, and far-left agendas. Plus, updates on the Blanche confirmation, the Clayton confirmation, major fraud hearings the Democrats skipped and new developments around Jack Smith. Plus, we dive into ongoing strikes on Iran and hints of tomorrow's address to the nation that caused Senator's Ossoff and Warnock some concern.

PLUS: the Graham "pleasure-givers" start speaking up & the subtleties of KLB's 'black' sales pitchSocial media was abuzz last night and into the morning that a planned address to the nation Thursday by the President was going to include salacious allegations that the elections of both Senators Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock were illegitimate.' The White House (somewhat) walked back those rumors, but it still drew rebukes from both Ossoff and Warnock. Meanwhile, after we (and many others) discussed the potential for a Warnock Presidential run in 2028, it's notable that not only has Rev. Senator Warnock gotten two "affordability" bills passed and made into law (the $35 insulin cap being a big one), his bill capping home ownership by private equity firms not only became law, it did so without the signature of President Donald Trump. That's right - Senator Warnock got his bill through Congress while Trump keeps flailing on his voter suppression bill. Who's got more sway in the Beltway these days, then, hmm?- - - Progressive podcaster Keith Edwards brought the world's attention to the first voices of those hired to bring "pleasure" to former Senator Lindsey Graham on his podcast, but he also stated - more eloquently than I could, frankly - why he, too, being a gay man, took issue with Graham's hypocrisies. - - - Lastly, a (gift link) good piece by Greg Bluestein at the AJC noting the differences between the campaigns of Stacey Abrams and Keisha Lance Bottoms despite both having glass ceilings to shatter in being Georgia's first female and black (plus female AND black) governor. Bottoms' more subtle tone vs Abrams' more vocal tenor is - if nothing else - noteworthy.
Today's Headlines: Lindsey Graham's sister Darline Graham Nordone was appointed to his Senate seat within days of his death — never held office, framed as a neutral placeholder, and now South Carolina's first female senator, which would be more historic if it weren't handed to her by Trump as a favor. The FBI also showed up at Graham's DC home less than 48 hours after his death with at least 8 agents, claiming "abundance of caution" and "nothing indicated foul play." On the administration's ongoing efforts to undermine election integrity, Trump announced a primetime speech Thursday night, which MSNBC immediately reported will be used to declare the 2020 elections of Warnock and Ossoff illegitimate due to "voting machine vulnerabilities" — part of a broader whole-of-government effort to relitigate 2020 that includes a new White House task force run by Bill Pulte, whose dad is in the Epstein files, and thousands of pages of classified documents they claim show election irregularities. Two FBI agents in Atlanta were also fired for refusing to join the sham Georgia election probe. On Iran, US strikes on Iran entered their third consecutive night with the naval blockade back in full force, and Trump is now suggesting the US charge other countries tolls for Strait of Hormuz passage, which is a thing he said out loud. Meanwhile, ICE shot and killed a 26-year-old Colombian man named Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine — authorized to work, had a social security number, on his way to work, not even the person ICE was targeting — in front of his three-year-old daughter in Bluey pajamas in the backseat. There is no bodycam footage but plenty of iPhone witnesses, and hundreds immediately came out to protest. In yet another blow to our narrowing freedoms, Four New York Times reporters were subpoenaed at their homes on a Friday night in a probe run by Kash Patel, apparently because Trump was angry about reporting that his Qatari jet lacks adequate security, which is the most efficient abuse of FBI resources we've seen yet. Finally, we leave you with a little bit of hope. A federal judge voided Trump's fake IRS settlement, called it "collusion" and an "exercise in self-dealing," and referred Trump's lawyers and senior DOJ officials to state bar authorities for ethical review. And twelve state attorneys general sued to block the Paramount-Warner Brothers merger that would put Bari Weiss in charge of CNN, with Paramount threatening to leave California in response.

CannCon and Ghost kick things off with some meta commentary on media tribalism after a mainstream host's fact-check of Brian's own reporting went viral, then pivot into the real headline: President Trump's mysterious Thursday night address, widely rumored to focus on election integrity. They dig into a leaked story about a new White House task force digging through classified documents, debate whether both Georgia senators could be declared illegitimate on stage, and manage expectations for just how big the announcement will actually be. The back half is a Ghost special: a deep dive into Mossad director David Barnea, a resurfaced Bannon clip, and years of Ghost's own research suggesting a former Iranian president may have been an intelligence asset the entire time, tied together with last night's Devolution Power Hour discussion. Buckle up for a wild ride.
Greg Bluestein hosts a listener-driven look at the political questions shaping Georgia's summer. He weighs the FBI's renewed scrutiny of Fulton County's 2020 election handling, Jon Ossoff's debate strategy against Mike Collins and why Raphael Warnock looks more likely than Ossoff to draw 2028 presidential speculation. Bluestein also digs into Rick Jackson's unsettled GOP support and the split-ticket voters who could decide Georgia's 2026 races. Have a question or comment for the show?

Scot Turner and Buzz Brockway are back with a packed Peach Pundit Podcast covering Georgia politics, the U.S. Senate race, election investigations, privacy, policing, and a Fourth of July weekend that nearly broke Delta. The show opens with Scot's trip to Washington, D.C. for America's 250th birthday celebration, Buzz's Peachtree Road Race recap, and the patriotic highs and travel-delay lows of Independence Day weekend. Then the conversation turns serious as Scot and Buzz discuss Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock finally calling on Graham Platner to drop out of the Maine U.S. Senate race after new allegations and renewed scrutiny over his Nazi tattoo. Back in Georgia, they break down the first general-election polling in the governor's race and U.S. Senate race, including Rick Jackson vs. Keisha Lance Bottoms, Mike Collins vs. Jon Ossoff, ticket-splitting, voter enthusiasm, and why inflation and high prices remain the dominant issue for Georgia voters. Scot and Buzz also dig into the growing controversy over Flock cameras and automated license plate readers after a series of arrests involving law enforcement officers accused of misusing license plate data. As former co-sponsors of Georgia's 2018 license plate reader privacy law, they debate the value of the technology, the dangers of government surveillance, and whether stronger criminal penalties and guardrails are now needed. Then they turn to the FBI's renewed review of Fulton County's 2020 election records, the continuing obsession with relitigating 2020, and why the politics of election denial could hurt Republicans who need to focus on affordability, public safety, and the races actually on the ballot in November. Finally, they discuss HB 295, a new Georgia law allowing property owners to seek compensation from local governments for certain patterns of non-enforcement and public nuisance, including illegal camping, obstruction, shoplifting, drug use, public intoxication, and other quality-of-life issues. In this episode: Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, Graham Platner, and the Maine U.S. Senate race Nazi tattoos, candidate scandals, and political hypocrisy Georgia polling: Rick Jackson vs. Keisha Lance Bottoms Georgia U.S. Senate polling: Mike Collins vs. Jon Ossoff Inflation, health care costs, and the issues Georgia voters care about most Flock cameras, license plate readers, and police misuse of surveillance data Georgia's 2018 license plate reader privacy law The FBI, Fulton County, and the 2020 election investigation Why relitigating 2020 could distract Republicans in 2026 HB 295 and local-government liability for non-enforcement Fourth of July in Washington, D.C., the Peachtree Road Race, and Delta travel chaos Peach Pundit Podcast is Georgia's conversation about politics, elections, campaigns, public policy, and the people shaping the Peach State.

Greg Bluestein breaks down three Supreme Court rulings that could shape Georgia's 2026 elections, including new campaign finance rules, the fight over birthright citizenship and laws banning transgender female athletes from girls and women's sports. He explains how the campaign finance decision could help Mike Collins narrow Jon Ossoff's fundraising advantage with support from the Republican National Committee. Greg also looks at how Ossoff and Keisha Lance Bottoms are sharpening their joint campaign message, while Republicans focus on Bottoms' record as Atlanta mayor and public safety.

The most powerful person in the world repeatedly creates his own narrative about a news event despite what we can see and hear with our own eyes and our own ears. Media organizations that don't fight like hell in response are failing at doing their most basic job—and they're failing the country and our democracy as well. That's what CBS News did when it settled Trump's frivolous “60 Minutes” lawsuit and when it tried to change the story of the Minneapolis protests to benefit Trump. Plus, Dems are on the cusp of a big fight, the Iran war is being fought on social media and on the weekend, aiming to live a life of value and meaning, Ossoff is deploying a clever strategy, and why isn't the left talking about climate change?

Senator Jon Ossoff recently walked into Beulah Missionary Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia, opened the Book of Amos, and delivered one of the most theologically precise speeches I've heard from any political figure in years. In 8 minutes and 41 seconds, he did what MAGA pastors with massive platforms and full-time theology staffs refuse to do: name the corruption, place it in a 3,000-year-old prophetic tradition, and connect it to the suffering of real people in real zip codes. Ossoff is not pandering. He's not decorating a political speech with Bible verses. He's doing exegesis — and he's doing it in front of a Black Baptist congregation with a 60-year covenant to the civil rights movement. That matters theologically.

PLUS: We get a post-primary checkup on the Democrats' slate in Georgia from Atlanta-based strategist & Mike Collins will have a hard time beating Ossoff when he's unliked within GOP ranksNow that we're clear of the primary calendar (checks to make sure it's impossible there's any. more. run-offs) it's time to get to know some of the Democratic candidates throughout the state running for state and federal offices.Numerically, why not start in Georgia's 1st Congressional? Amanda Hollowell is the party's nominee; a well-known political strategist and the Chief of Campaigns at Color Of Change, the country's largest online racial justice organization. I got to spend a lot of time learning about her, what's shaped her mindset and how her professional background and her raising a son who chimes in with his and his friends' views makes her a sharpened candidate to flip GA 1.- - - Atlanta-based political strategist/consultant Andrew Heaton popped on a call for a post-primary check-up of the Georgia Democratic Party's November slate, and to look at what the GOP counter candidacy looks like, too. One issue that may hobble Mike Collins is that he's unlikable even among prominent conservatives in the state, and the improprieties within his campaign and Congressional office may dog him throughout the general election cycle.

Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy dig into Jon Ossoff's on-the-record pushback against 2028 presidential speculation, including what Patricia heard directly from the senator and why both of them think the chatter says as much about the Democratic Party's search for a leader as it does about Ossoff himself. They also size up the Republican Senate runoff, now days away, with Buddy Carter's 25 percent of the primary vote still up for grabs and both Mike Collins and Derek Dooley working to lock in his supporters before June 16th. The governor's race gets attention too, as Rick Jackson looks to consolidate Chris Carr's voters while navigating the volatility of invoking Brad Raffensperger's name with Trump still on the sidelines.

PLUS: Donald pisses off Knicks' fans; where's the proof from the FBI / Fulton seizure & MARTA's naysayers seem unaware of the authority's efforts to address homelessnessThe Atlanta Journal Constitution's Patricia Murphy - perhaps as a response to national media fawning over Jon Ossoff as a potential 2028 contender - brought the wet blanket to that notion. Okay fine; but it's hard to argue that his being on a potential 2028 ticket wouldn't make it a better ticket.- - - - Donald Trump showing up for the New York Knicks' NBA Finals game earlier this week was clearly another "Make a Wish" presidency stop: more about him and less about the tens of thousands there or the hundreds of thousands who hoped to attend watch parties around the venue. Fans there let him know they were pissed, but the nationally syndicated morning show "The Breakfast Club" also weighed in on Stephen A. Smith's disdain for Trump's presence. - - - - The AJC reports on the FBI seizure of Fulton County 2020 boxes of ballots: that it's "investigation fails to deliver, so far." Ya don't say.- - - - The thing about "big city" issues is (I've said this many times) that Republicans never offer actionable solutions, but like "Statler & Waldorf," the old snipes in "The Muppet Show" balcony, have snide comments and no contribution. Most right wing MARTA grousers are likely unaware MARTA's actually long teamed up with an Atlanta homeless advocacy organization (gift link) to assist the unhoused who show up in their stations and on their trains.

It's now abundantly clear that not only are the Georgia Republican Party's two Senate options of poor candidate quality with mid-20th century 'Jim Crow' vision, they're corrupt. Even worse for the Georgia GOP, they're golden boy - governor Brian Kemp - has been pulled into the woodchipper and exposed as well. With good local journalism disappearing - even in major hubs like Atlanta - it's important to pay attention to when it's still covering stories like these. The whole "Dooley-Kemp-other Dooley money funnel" story brought to light last week by WXIA-TV's Doug Richards was actually touched on in a Substack piece by Georgia Politics & Polling (no author named). Still, hat-tip!That sullies the already mediocre shine on the campaign of failed football coach Derek Dooley, son of UGA football legend Vince. It's also tarnished the perception that Brian Kemp is an unblemished 'rising star' with 2028 aspirations. Rep. Mike Collins, however, has long seemed to have issues with the company he keeps - notably his chief staffer and campaign manager Brandon Phillips. If Brandon's not making repulsive statements about rape victims being "sloppy seconds," he's making sure his girlfriend gets paid via taxpayer dollars through an internship where she did nothing. Then there's another staffer - Kip Talley - working double-time to free a Holocaust-denier - and bragging he'd do so in a group chat.A whole lot of 'ick' on that run-off ballot.- - - Speaking of run-offs, I'd opted not to weigh in on Georgia Democratic run-offs because I don't see bad options; but the lieutenant governor's race calls for commentary. Listen, I've no issues with ambition, but former Senator Nabilah Parkes put hers above her constituents, and her debate performance did little to make her look as a) a superior choice or b) a likable candidate (and she's a likable person, so that's baffling). Leaving your post is one thing; leaving the middle of a General Assembly session is another. Trying to explain that your absence means nothing because the other side is the majority and will ram new maps through anyway smacks of 'defeatism' and her opponent, state Senator Josh McLaurin is right to point that out.
In Episode 105, we break down President Trump's call for patience on Iran amid escalating tensions and high-stakes negotiations. We analyze Sen. Jon Ossoff's fiery Atlanta rally where he sharply attacked Trump and the GOP. Plus, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene blames Baby Boomers as the "most dangerous generation," sparking generational fireworks. We dive deep into the rise of hyper-emotional political tribalism, where feelings about the messenger trump facts, fueled by political correctness, woke ideology, and identity-driven reasoning.

Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy and Tia Mitchell examine the fast-moving alliance between Senator Jon Ossoff and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms as Georgia Democrats try to project unity ahead of 2026. They discuss why Ossoff sees political upside in aligning closely with Bottoms, how Republicans are already preparing attacks tied to her tenure as Atlanta mayor, and why Black women remain central to Democratic turnout strategy in Georgia. The episode also breaks down the escalating Republican runoff battles, including Rick Jackson's massive self-funded campaign for governor and the fallout surrounding Senate candidate Mike Collins after a top aide's inflammatory social media post triggered backlash across the GOP.

Dave and Doug Shaw cover the Georgia primary runoff matchups, Trump's primary influence and failed coattails, police brutality in South Carolina, and the deaths of Kyle Bush and Barney Frank. Georgia Primary Runoffs: Governor and Senate Burt Jones will face Rick Jackson in the Republican gubernatorial runoff — Jones outperformed expectations but Rick Jackson has momentum. Jackson runs the risk of over-indexing on Trump endorsement; he needs to build his own coalition. Lance Bottoms's entry into the race as a Democratic candidate alongside incumbent Ossoff might actually help Republicans. Meanwhile, the lieutenant governor's race heads to a runoff between JFK (who benefited from name recognition — people voting for the dead president) and Dolezal, whose campaign was a mess. His Sharia law flyer targeting Dolezal's Muslim name is tactically stupid in Georgia. Paulding County: Robert Lane Defeats Colleen Hampton in District Attorney Race Robert Lane won decisively, 65-35, in the Republican primary for Paulding County District Attorney. Dave had supported the opponent but congratulated Lane afterward. The race was amateur hour on both sides — particularly Hampton's alignment with the "Justice for Heather Turner" group pursuing a 2017 homicide case obsessively, maligning retired Sheriff Gary Gulledge, current Sheriff Ashley Henson, and homicide detective (and Dave's neighbor). Lane has no general-election competition; his challenge now is learning from the race's lessons. Thomas Massie Loses to Trump-Backed Challenger in Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie, perhaps the most constitutionally principled member of Congress, lost to Trump's preferred candidate in a sub-10-point race. Trump won Kentucky by far more, proving his coattails don't stretch to every race. Massie refused to rubber-stamp Trump and maintained separation from the executive branch — the role Congress is supposed to play. His loss signals the GOP increasingly favors loyalty tests over constitutional governance. Rumors suggest Massie may explore a 2028 presidential run; he'd get crushed, but his standing in principle has never wavered. Kyle Bush Dies at 41: NASCAR Legend's Illness and Legacy NASCAR driver Kyle Bush, 41, died shortly after testing a new racing simulator in Concord, North Carolina. He'd been coughing up blood and experiencing shortness of breath; reports suggest the infection may trace back to a ceramic stool incident four months prior that required 24 stitches in his calf. Bush was NASCAR's winningest driver across all racing tiers, owned a truck team, and mentored young drivers. He was set to race in the Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte and the Truck Series race this weekend. Robert Busbee, Ogeechee Judicial District Attorney, Dies of Heart Attack Ogeechee Judicial Circuit District Attorney Robert Busbee, 44, suffered an apparent heart attack at a local gym. Busbee replaced Daphne Totten, who notoriously jailed a domestic-violence survivor for killing her abuser (conviction later overturned). Busbee restored integrity to the office. Police Chokehold on White Teenager at South Carolina Baseball Game A resource officer in South Carolina placed a white teenager in a chokehold and tased him after the teen's mother questioned a call at a private high school baseball game. The kid stepped on the officer's foot; the cop hit him in the head with a taser. Kevin Warsh Becomes New Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh, 56, replaced Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair. Warsh looks younger than his age and came from Ohio. Powell remains on the board. Trump praised Warsh in a press conference — then immediately praised President Xi Jinping using the same language, revealing the praise was boilerplate. Interest rate drops expected when the Federal Reserve meets; Connie's new vehicle purchase timing may depend on rate movement. Georgia School Board Election: Paulding County Votes to Rein In District Paulding County voters approved a referendum capping property assessment increases at the inflation rate, forcing the school board to actually vote on millage increases instead of pocketing stealth tax hikes via rising home values. The ballot wording was confusing, but after county Republican leadership posted clarification, it passed. This is a meaningful check on property-tax expansion. Memorial Day Remembrances and Atlanta Radio History Dave honored Will Zapp, a fellow service member and purple heart recipient who died of brain cancer likely caused by Iraq service. The conversation drifted into Atlanta radio nostalgia — Southside Steve, 96 Rock, the American Pie bar on Sunday afternoons. Legends Distillery (which made Southside Steve whiskey) is closing. Terrestrial radio is dying; nobody listens anymore. Barney Frank Dies: 2008 Financial Crisis Architect Congressman Barney Frank died this week. Frank co-authored the Dodd-Frank legislation that enabled the subprime mortgage crisis and the 2008 financial collapse. He packaged bad mortgages together and sold them, leaving borrowers in perpetual uncertainty about who held their loans. Frank was famously disorganized in appearance despite being gay (contrary to stereotype) and ran a gay prostitution ring out of his Washington townhouse. His departure from the Senate improved the institution. Closing Thought: Primary Fatigue Dave is experiencing voter fatigue as Georgia heads into runoff season. Campaign ads have completely cluttered his DVR to the point where he's considering a complete deletion and restart.
Send us Fan MailTogetherness is not a warm slogan, it's the only way we meet the scale of what's in front of us. From the start, we press on a simple question: how do you remember the past honestly without letting it turn into bitterness? In this episode, Bishop Wright has a conversation with Senator Jon Ossoff about faith, leadership, and what it takes to build a better world when the headlines feel like a steady stream of bad news. Ossoff traces his moral education through the legacy of Congressman John Lewis and the civil rights movement in Georgia, including the historic alliance between Black and Jewish communities in the South. He shares the powerful symbolism of being sworn into the US Senate on scripture belonging to Rabbi Jacob Rothschild, the Atlanta rabbi whose temple was bombed in 1958 for supporting Dr. King and the SCLC. They discuss what interfaith coalition building looks like when it's real, not performative, and why serious faith traditions should pull us alongside each other when the stakes are high. Listen in for the full conversation. Born and raised in Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff serves as our Senior United States Senator. Since his election, Sen. Ossoff has built bipartisanship in the Senate to achieve meaningful legislative results for Georgia — even in a divided Congress. In his first two years in office, Sen. Ossoff passed into law more standalone bills than any other freshman Senator. Sen. Ossoff's legislative achievements include laws to protect children online; to strengthen public safety; to tackle the opioid epidemic and prevent fentanyl trafficking across the Southern Border; to investigate unsolved lynchings and Civil Rights murders; to strengthen mental health care services for veterans; and to fight corruption and improve security in U.S. prisons. Mentored by civil rights legend Congressman John Lewis, Sen. Ossoff previously led a small business that produced investigative journalism exposing war crimes, public corruption, human trafficking, and organized crime. Sen. Ossoff lives with his wife, Dr. Alisha Kramer, and two daughters in Atlanta.Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.

The bombshell voting rights ruling from the Supreme Court may have been years in the making, but Ossoff sees a tie-in to Trump's sore-loserdom and his inability to accept that black voters in Georgia were responsible for his 2020 defeat. And the senator expects a full-court press to get Alito and Thomas to retire so Trump can nominate MAGA fanatics to the court—and impose his most durable legacy on the country. Ossoff also discussed potential limits on aid to Israel, the geopolitical malpractice of the Iran war, and the brazen corruption of the Trump family's overseas business deals. Plus, Luke Thomas explains the links between MMA and Trump world, the UFC's key role in rehabilitating Trump after Jan 6, and the sportswashing behind the upcoming fights at the White House.

Atlanta City Councilmember Jason Dozier is excited about bringing people together, supporting local business owners and boosting foot traffic in South Downtown Atlanta. Dozier, who represents District 4, recently sponsored an ordinance to establish an open container district in South Downtown to empower the area’s economic engine. He joined “Closer Look” to discuss the potential community and economic impact of the district as Atlanta gears up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff also joined the program to discuss how he’s addressing the actions by the Trump Administration that are affecting Georgia. That includes the Iran War, inflation, and a lacking response to the August 2025 shooting at the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He’s also concerned about the reported rising energy costs for consumers related to AI data centers. However, in Ossoff’s discussion with Host Rose Scott, he also mentions his optimism for Democrats in the 2026 Midterm Elections and the opportunities the 2026 FIFA World Cup will bring to Atlanta. Lastly, today marks 10 years since the passing of influential musician and singer, Prince. The award-winning performer's final concert was at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta on April 14, 2016. Scott pays tribute to the legendary artist by replaying the broadcast when she broke the news of Prince’s death with fellow WABE host Jim Burress.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Just hang tight: Trump is super close to a deal with an enemy that he handed all the leverage to. Absolutely do not read his steady supply of hollow threats as him begging Iran for a face-saving off-ramp. Meanwhile, back in reality, Iran too can see how desperate Trump is, the war is helping China feel emboldened, and some of our closest post-WWII allies think Beijing is more dependable than the U.S. under Trump. Plus, Hegseth has chosen an ideal time to pick a fight with the secretary of the Army, numerous officials at the FBI are alarmed by Kash's alleged alcohol-induced absences, kudos to Ossoff for the way he talked about corruption and kleptocracy, and more Vance-splaining from the newbie Catholic Veep.Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.show notes Tim's livestream Monday at 8ET on YouTube or Substack JVL on the "Trump Madman Theory' of the stock market Lauren on the Dems preparing for a potential midterm-year SCOTUS vacancy Tim's 2020 piece on Joe DiGenova Images of the Poodle Room, Kash's alleged hangout in Vegas Tickets for our Bulwark Live shows in San Diego and LA in May: TheBulwark.com/Events Upgrade your wallet today!

4.14.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Ossoff on Iran War & Voting Rights. Police Lie Exposed in Black Teen Shooting. Kyren Lacy Case Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff will be in the studio to discuss his campaign, the war in Iran, voting rights, and other important topics. Maryland passes a Voting Rights Act. A lawsuit was required to have bodycam footage released, revealing that a white police officer in St. Louis, Missouri, lied about the circumstances surrounding the shooting of a Black teenager. A Black woman from Georgia is suing several law enforcement agencies for wrongfully raiding her home in search of a suspect who had actually been in custody for months. It has been a year since LSU football standout Kyren Lacy passed away.

3.18.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Shutdown Vote Showdown. Ossoff Grills Gabbard. Young Trumpers Shift. Afroman Lawsuit Explodes House Democrats have revealed their plan to force Republicans to hold an up-or-down vote to end the detrimental Trump-Republican shutdown, ensure hardworking TSA agents are paid, and rein in ICE. Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff got in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard ass during today's Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. He questioned whether Iran posed an "imminent nuclear threat" before the U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes on Tehran last month and asked why she was in Georgia during January's election office raid. Young Trump supporters are shifting their allegiance. I spoke with the hosts of The Other Side of Change about why this is happening. Tennessee State Senator Charlane Oliver criticized Democratic State Representative Bo Mitchell for not seconding Representative Aftyn Behn's request to bring their "Homes Not Hedge Funds" housing bill to the floor. Oliver will join us to explain her fiery comments regarding Mitchell. Seven white Ohio deputies say rapper Afroman used their likenesses without permission in his music videos. The video in question is from Afroman's security camera during a 2022 raid at his home. The deputies are suing for defamation, saying they have suffered humiliation and death threats because of the videos.
