President Trump took a swipe at the Secret Service as he claimed a military plane that secretly flew him out of Turkey last month was “at greater risk” of being targeted, while also insisting it was the Secret Service that made the call. He told reporters he only followed what agents and the military wanted, saying they had arranged an “equal safety” change.  When pressed, Trump suggested the aircraft he was put on would be more likely to be the one attackers might go after.On the election front, the progressive candidate in the Wisconsin governor's race fell to the more mainstream Democratic candidate. The My Pillow guy Mike Lindell was too crazy for Minnesota voters. Despite being endorsed by Trump, Lindell was defeated in his attempt to govern Minnesota.

Seth discusses the alarming trend of radicalized politicians entering the public sphere, citing the examples of Democrats Darializa Chevalier and Francesca Hong, who are running for office in New York and Wisconsin, respectively. They have expressed views that are far-Left and even blatantly Communist. Seth highlights the fact that many of these politicians are products of the university system. The discussion delves into the idea that universities are more about indoctrination than education, and that this has led to a generation of young people who are ill-equipped to think critically. Producer David Doll discusses his evening watching the Diamondbacks play. We’re joined by Don Spini from Sun Valley Wealth. Governor Katie Hobbs made it official today announcing her pick of ex-Republican former Mesa mayor John Giles as her running mate in the gubernatorial election this fall.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The political establishment has spent years insisting that bold progressive candidates are simply too radical to win—especially in the Rust Belt. But Michigan may have just shattered that argument.In recent Michigan primary victories, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Donovan McKinney, and William Lawrence emerged victorious despite facing enormous financial disadvantages and opposition from establishment-backed forces.Outspent nearly ten-to-one, these candidates were dismissed as “unelectable” long before voters had their say. The conventional wisdom was predictable: progressive policies supposedly couldn't win over working-class voters in the Midwest.But then the votes were counted.They won. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, we unpack tough interviews, breaking primary updates, and major national headlines!

President Trump's latest executive order is aimed at overhauling the nation's childhood vaccination recommendations. He is directing federal agencies to cut the number of vaccines children receive and spread out their shots across more doctor ‘s appointments. Trump's new "gold standard" recommendations consist of only 11 core vaccinations against the most serious diseases, along with the MMR vaccine, which the president hopes will eventually be administered as separate shots rather than as a combined vaccine. Doctors are already speaking out against these changes, saying it means fewer children will be fully vaccinated. The Washington Post is reporting that President Trump had to be smuggled out of Turkey in a catering truck and onto a smaller airplane in an attempt to thwart threats against him. We'll discuss it all with Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston. The Trump administration‘s grifting, scandals and interesting pardon policies have us following the money. We get help in that regard from Dr. Bill Black. He is a law professor and the author of “The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One.” The Mark Thompson Show 8/11/26 Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Meghan's guest this week is Evan Barker, a former progressive operative, fundraising strategist, and author of Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative. Meghan was eager to sit down with Evan after following her journey from a working-class Midwestern Obama campaign volunteer to a high-powered consultant who ultimately grew disillusioned with the modern Democratic machine. Together, they pull back the curtain on what actually goes on inside campaign "call time," how wealthy donor advisors hijacked progressive priorities, and why the party's relentless focus on identity politics alienated the very working-class voters it claims to represent.   In this conversation, they dive into: The Brutal Reality of Political "Call Time": What it's like to sit beside candidates for eight hours a day begging billionaires for cash, using psychological tricks, and maneuvering past corporate gatekeepers. How Identity Politics Captured the Donor Base: How wealthy donors, young staffers, and ideological consultants created race-based funding mandates and cultural litmus tests that backfired across the country. Behind the Scenes at the DNC Spectacle: Evan's bizarre encounters chaperoning TikTok influencers, dodging Chicago vasectomy vans, and realizing the party's messaging was completely detached from everyday economic strain. Marrying MAGA Populism with Bernie Sanders Economics: Why a working-class party offering real health reform alongside common-sense border control could dominate American politics—if the two-party monopoly ever allows it.   Grab Evan's book Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative and check out her work:

From politicians distancing themselves from past progressive positions to Medicare for All proposals that could mean higher taxes, Kimmer takes a closer look at the rhetoric behind the headlines—and what voters are really being asked to believe.

Today David offers a second way in which he believes a number of Christians have lost touch with Christ when it comes to politics, law, and public policy. It shocked the Pharisees of old, and it will probably shock the political pharisees among today's Christians. Find out what it is.

The black squares went up. The statements dropped. The celebrities showed out. And then — what?Episode 8 of We Vote Too is asking the question everybody skipped: when celebrity activism becomes the loudest voice in the room, does it lead people to the polls — or just to the post?We're unpacking the celebrity political era in full — from BLM as a marketing moment to the Joe Rogan effect, from Beyoncé on the campaign trail to influencers with White House press credentials.

After push back from congress during his confirmation hearing - Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memo rescinding Trump's $1.8 billion cop-beaters' fund. But, of course, right after he's confirmed as Attorney General, he can simply issue another memo creating the $1.8 billion cop-beaters' fund again. But there's one thing that Todd Blanche seems to have forgotten: a federal judge, who presided over the lawsuit that Trump brought against his own IRS looking for a $10 billion payday, said that Trump's lawsuit was filed in bad faith, filed for an improper purpose, was an act of collusion, and was executive self-dealing designed to manufacture judicial cover for an unlawful giveaway. And judge Kathleen Williams ruled that the settlement is void.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Political betrayal, systemic erosion, and the systemic sacrifice of American citizens take center stage in today's episode. Joe opens with a blunt look at the establishment's fractures—from the quiet outrage surrounding the current administration to Aaron Rodgers calling out Anthony Fauci, alongside Donald Trump laying out the stark realities of post-Biden economic costs and escalating tension with Iran. Joined later by Casey Putsch, founder of the Genius Garage Educational Programs, Joe unpacks how modern leadership continually sells out its own people for personal gain, exemplified by Vivek Ramaswamy getting booed offstage as the political landscape continues to shift.The conversation turns sharp as we expose how America's historical "high-trust" foundation has been systematically dismantled from within. Between the military-industrial complex, compromised elections, and unchecked migration pipelines line-itemed by NGOs at taxpayer expense, native-born Americans are consistently pushed aside while foreign interests take priority. We contrast the establishment's narrative of opportunity with the stark reality on the ground, exposing how the Democratic machine uses "big tent" politics to shield radical agendas while actively undermining domestic stability.From calls to prosecute federal law enforcement to the absurd realities of life under elite progressive policies in California, this episode pulls no punches on the breakdown of common sense in modern leadership. Joe dismantles the hypocrisy line by line, showing exactly how institutional rot is driving the nation toward a tipping point—and why restoring accountability is no longer optional.

The news to know for Thursday, August 06, 2026! We'll explain some of the biggest upsets now that this week's most influential primary races have been called. Also, how President Trump's immigration crackdown is personally affecting some U.S. service members. And why another air traffic scare is raising fresh concerns in the nation's capital.

After push back from congress during his confirmation hearing - Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memo rescinding Trump's $1.8 billion cop-beaters' fund. But, of course, right after he's confirmed as Attorney General, he can simply issue another memo creating the $1.8 billion cop-beaters' fund again. But there's one thing that Todd Blanche seems to have forgotten: a federal judge, who presided over the lawsuit that Trump brought against his own IRS looking for a $10 billion payday, said that Trump's lawsuit was filed in bad faith, filed for an improper purpose, was an act of collusion, and was executive self-dealing designed to manufacture judicial cover for an unlawful giveaway. And judge Kathleen Williams ruled that the settlement is void.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brian reflects on feeling politically homeless amid the rise of the Democratic Socialist movement and the MAGA movement pulling both parties toward the extremes, grounding his hope in Christ rather than any political tribe. He digs into pastor Josh Howerton's conversation on the Sean Ryan Show about the hard, practical steps of biblical forgiveness — including Howerton's own painful experience with leaked personal details from his church. Brian talks about what defines us apart from external metrics like job titles or church attendance numbers, pointing to identity as beloved children of God. He shares a Gospel Coalition piece on finding God's glory in birdwatching, calls out "clown Christianity" — the exhausting habit of painting over inner brokenness with a happy face — and pushes back on the viral "dump them" culture of cutting off relationships at the first sign of conflict. He also shares Randy Alcorn's reminder that every job, not just full-time ministry, is a platform to glorify God, illustrated by the story of insurance entrepreneur Art DeMoss. Brian closes with a rich meditation on "awe" as the fuel of faith and the antidote to spiritual apathy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Imagine filing a lawsuit, hiring your own lawyer to defend the person you're suing, and then "forgetting" to sign the final agreement. If that sounds like a legal impossibility, that's because it is.Michael Steele talks about the mind-boggling legal maneuver where President Donald Trump effectively sat on both sides of the courtroom—acting as plaintiff and defendant—while represented by a single legal team.This is an insider breakdown of how these courtroom maneuvers worked, why a key signature was mysteriously left off official documents, and why judges ultimately called the entire arrangement a sham.Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/weeknightFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelSteeleFollow Michael on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.socialFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/Follow Michael on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steeleListen to The Michael Steele Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-steele-podcast/id1412905534Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6oIf you enjoyed this, be sure to share it with a friend!

We're on vacation this week, so we're replaying some of my favorite interviews of the year so far. I've been a bona fide Sarah Burris fanboy since the days when we both wrote for Salon.com, and my only regret is not having her on sooner than today. She's an amazing journalist and I think after today you'll be a fan too, if you're not already. We talked about Todd Blanche's confirmation hearings, we talked about Mitch McConnell, we talked about Reflecting Pool, and so much more. Follow her on Bluesky and Instagram.

Political peace and social unity is something often heard about in the media and how communities need to strive to embrace unity and lay down their tribal identities that divide people. How might Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones respond to this kind of plea? More importantly, how does the apostle Paul talk about unity? In this sermon on Ephesians 1:11 titled “Predestined and Sealed in Christ,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones expounds on the great themes of unity, harmony, and peace in the letter to the Ephesians. In the church, there is no nationalistic boasting from the Jews nor philosophical snobbery from the Greeks for they are all one in Christ. The apostle Paul, who first boasted in his flesh as a Hebrew of Hebrews, now boasts that he is an apostle to the Gentiles. How did this come about? It comes about from God's grand purpose of reuniting all things together in Christ. It is only when one looks to their inheritance as Christians can true peace and true unity be realized. Only by setting affection upon the spiritual inheritance in Christ can true reconciliation take place. The world does not know this or understand this unity. Hear Dr. Lloyd-Jones speak to this important topic that has implications for lives today.

After a tight race with moderate Haley Stevens, progressive Abdul el-Sayed is now officially the Michigan Democratic Senate primary winner. The contest has been an enormously expensive one, with the candidates' stances on Israel a central issue in the campaign. But while el-Sayed may well score a win for the progressives, it's a more mixed picture nationally. Political analyst Ron Brownstein joins us to discuss.  Also on today's show: Lawton Nuss, Former Chief Justice, Kansas Supreme Court; Annie Jacobsen, Author, "Biological War: A Scenario"  Learn more about your ad choices.

The DOJ courtesy of DC Attorney Jeanine Pirro have moved to dismiss a case that it never should have indicted in the first place.They filed a motion to dismiss the Trumped-up charges against 67-year-old former Olympic athlete David Hearn for reaching into the water of the reflecting pool and feeling a piece of the peeling blue pool liner. And the motion to dismiss that was filed has resulted in the rats in the Trump administration eating one another.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
