WarRoom Battleground EP 777: President Trump's Whole Presidency Is At Risk Due To The Deep State

As the One Big Beautiful Bill Act lumbers through Congress, President Trump lobs threats at Russian President Vladimir Putin on Truth Social, and the administration continues their war against Harvard, we're bringing back New York Times reporter and de facto Trump chronicler Maggie Haberman to weigh in on the president's state of mind.  Kara and Maggie talk about the startling scale of disinformation coming out of the White House, Trump's ambivalent relationship to Supreme Court rulings and democratic norms, and his ever-widening campaign of retribution against institutions and individuals, (including pop stars like Maggie's favorite, Bruce Springsteen). They also revisit Haberman's prescient analysis from earlier this year that Stephen Miller is wielding immense power within the administration and discuss whether Elon's power is shrinking or he's simply slipping out of public view.  This episode was taped on the afternoon of Tuesday, May 27th, before Elon Musk spoke out against the omnibus bill and Russia proposed to hold peace talks with Ukraine.

Mary Katharine Ham, FOX News Contributor, Outkick columnist, host of the Getting Hammered and Normally podcasts, and co-author of End of Discussion, joined The Guy Benson Show today to process a deeply emotional trip she and Benson recently took to Poland. Together, they toured concentration camps and reflected on the haunting legacy of the Holocaust and the horrors of genocide. Ham also reacted to new revelations from Jake Tapper's book, which suggest that President Biden's administration has been run largely by committee due to his rapidly declining mental acuity.

In this explosive episode, Tim and Lee dive into jaw-dropping revelations from Jake Tapper's new book and a bombshell New York Post report alleging that Hunter Biden and a small inner circle were the real power behind the White House during Joe Biden's presidency. Dubbed the "Politburo," this group allegedly made key decisions as Biden's cognitive health declined. The episode examines how the FBI helped suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story, concealed money laundering allegations, and possibly enabled this quiet transfer of power. With newly unredacted FBI chat logs, insider sources, and fierce media censorship exposed, this episode raises serious questions about corruption, accountability, and who was really in charge of America.

In this segment coming up you'll be hearing Rosemary Armao, host of the On the Brink podcast, talking with Albany Times Union opinion columnist Jay Jochnowitz. The two met in Bennington Vermont for a special two-hour podcast before a live audience at the Orchard Club to consider the transformational changes the Trump administration is ushering in including how we think about the law and corruption, American values and national unity.Jay Jochnowitz joined the Times Union as an Albany City Hall reporter in 1987. He became state editor in 2000, editorial page editor in 2008, and retired as opinion editor in 2022. He remains a member of the newspaper's editorial board and continues to write editorials and a monthly column.

Schiff discusses the significant rise in gold prices, which closed at its highest weekly price ever, while other precious metals like silver and platinum also saw a notable increase. He highlights the decline of the US dollar and reveals the consequences of tariff policies, emphasizing the need for listeners to consider precious metals and foreign equities as a hedge against impending economic challenges. Schiff also examines the Fitch downgrade of US government credit, linking it to unsustainable fiscal policies under both Trump and Biden administrations. Additionally, he scrutinizes the political and economic conflicts surrounding tariffs, privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and personal financial gains made by Trump during his presidency. Listeners are encouraged to stay in tune for more insights and remain proactive in safeguarding their financial portfolios.

Show Notes Episode 494: Ollies Big Idea Part 1 of Iran Contra This week Host Dave Bledsoe tried to implement a plan where the bartender gave him whiskey, he drank it and the tab was paid by a third party which would remain classified. (It did not work.) On the show this week we talk about the time the United States did one crime to pay for another crime, we talk Iran Contra! Along the way we learn that Dave's idea of acceptable parenting, isn't.  Then we dive into the history of the National Security Council, fighting the Reds since 1947. (Heroes, everyone!)  From there we meet the man who would be at the center of a criminal conspiracy that threatened to take down the Presidency of Ronald Reagan if only Ronald Reagan could remember that he was even President. We follow the money from missile sales to Iran to weapons drops over Nicaraguan jungles. (As conspiracies go, this was one of the dumber ones) until we wind back in Washington DC where everything starts to fall apart. Our returning Sponsor this week is Second Hand Boom, our guns aren't new, but they will do.  We open with news from Lebanon and close with Lauren O'Connell who is talking about the man.

In this explosive Friday edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America rip the veil off the Biden administration's increasingly fragile façade. With bombshell developments surrounding Joe Biden's alleged cognitive decline and the metastasized cancer diagnosis, the hosts spotlight the auto-pen scandal, questioning whether Biden was even competent, or present, for many key executive decisions. Whistleblowers point fingers at a shadowy trio controlling the White House, raising unprecedented constitutional concerns. They dive into RFK Jr.'s “MAHA” report aimed at reversing chronic childhood illness through nutrition and detoxification, highlighting the dangers of over-medication and the systemic failure of Big Pharma's grip on PTSD and TBI care. Myocarditis risks from COVID vaccines, buried VAERS data, and the political weaponization of public health come under fire. The episode also explores Democrats' coordinated effort to infiltrate the podcast space with AstroTurf influencers and the FTC's investigation into Media Matters' collusion to suppress dissenting voices. From Harvard's international student ban to the deep rot of institutional corruption, this episode is a no-holds-barred takedown of narrative control, and a call to reclaim the republic.

European Movement Ireland and Konrad- Adenauer- Stiftung (KAS) UK and Ireland hosted 'Artificial Intelligence - How will Europe Innovate?' The event explored the challenges and opportunities ahead for AI innovation, political leadership and the future development of AI across Europe, as the European Union sets out its ambitious agenda to become a global leader in AI. AI EU Innovation The EU AI act, which forms part of this vision, is the world's first act to regulate the use of AI globally. In force since 2024, with some exemptions for high-risk AI until 2027, the EU AI Act will be fully applicable from 2026, coinciding with Ireland's Presidency of the European Council. Given the presence of multinational tech companies, and leading research institutions in the country, Ireland is well positioned to influence how AI is advanced across the bloc into the future. Chair of the Oireachtas Committee on EU Affairs, Barry Ward TD said: "As Europe takes bold steps toward responsible AI innovation, today's discussion underscores the need for political leadership that is both visionary and grounded in our shared values. With Ireland preparing to take on the Presidency of the European Council in 2026, along with our thriving tech sector and academic excellence, we are uniquely placed to help lead this conversation and ensure AI development in Europe is ethical, innovative, and inclusive." Noelle O Connell, CEO European Movement Ireland said; "As the global race continues for leadership in AI, I am delighted to hear the statement from Minister Smyth, welcome Chair of the Oireachtas Committee on EU Affairs Barry Ward TD, and listen to the insights from the expert panel today on AI innovation, as it increasingly shapes all aspects of our daily lives and influences decision making. We are at a pivotal time when trust in institutions is falling, as revealed by EM Ireland's EU Poll 2025, a majority stated (40%) they do not trust any institution and less than one in three (30%) expressed trust in the EU in Ireland. As the EU seeks to be bold in its vision for AI, it must ensure developments in AI work to serve the public good, and do not erode trust into the future." The Minister for Trade Promotion, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation Niamh Smyth TD appeared prior to the discussion with a short video statement. The expert panel was moderated by Noelle O Connell and included Barry Ward TD, Chair of the Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs, Stephanie Anderson, Public Policy Manager, Meta, Dr. Eamonn Cahill, Principal Officer, AI and Digital Regulation Unit, Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and Kai Zenner of Office and Digital Policy Adviser for MEP Axel Voss. Dr. Canan Atilgan, Konrad- Adenauer- Stiftung (KAS) UK and Ireland said; "The EU aims to become a global leader in AI and has unveiled an ambitious Action Plan - a bold strategy designed not merely to compete, but to lead ethically, with a clear, human-centred vision." Artificial Intelligence - How Will Europe Innovate? brought citizens, businesses, and policymakers together to explore the themes of the future of AI, and the regulation of AI in practice. The hashtag #EMIKAS and the handles @KAS_UKIRL and @emireland were used during the event. See more breaking stories here.

In today's episode, we take a closer look at the life of Jimi Hendrix — from his early days and rise to fame, to how he became one of the most influential guitarists of all time. We also explore the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death at just 27 years old. Was it really just an accidental overdose, or is there more to the story? Some believe foul play was involved, and the theories haven't stopped since 1970.

Did he choose this or did people make these choices for him, or both? How do we parse out the previous President's role in his own Presidency? Tyrus, Hans Von Spakovsky, and Will Chamberlain today. One of these guests makes an impassioned speech for his 2028 Presidential campaign.

Across two eye-opening segments, this deep-dive exposé explores the growing controversy surrounding Hunter Biden's alleged role as the real decision-maker in the Biden administration, backed by foreign financial interests and shielded by media silence. As CNN voices admit Hunter functioned like a "chief of staff," questions mount over Chinese connections, DOJ interference, and IRS whistleblower revelations. The second half turns to Joe Biden's startling cancer diagnosis and cognitive decline, as insiders and former aides suggest a deliberate delay in detection for political reasons. With mounting public distrust, these segments paint a picture of a presidency shrouded in secrecy, family influence, and systemic media protection.

Are you handsome/pretty? Can you read a TelePrompter convincingly? Are you willing to compromise whatever personal values you might hold in exchange for fame and fortune (of course, if you're already ideologically aligned, so much the better)? If you answered all those questions “yes,” then you too could be a part of State Television, aka Fox News. Most presidents feverishly vet their cabinet and functionaries to ensure competence and integrity. This administration has a different approach. There are only two bars to clear. First, are you loyal to Donald Trump, no matter what, and second, has he admired you on Fox News. We'll go through the list in this short commentary. I hope you'll listen.

Former President Joe Biden is battling advanced prostate cancer that has spread to the bone—raising serious questions about what the White House knew and when. Buck Sexton breaks down how Biden's health issues may have been deliberately hidden from the American public, just like his cognitive decline. Were Democrats planning to keep him in office just long enough to pass power to Kamala Harris under the cover of sympathy and solemnity? Buck calls out the media, the administration, and the deception behind it all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nearly a year ago, a Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, moderated by Jake Tapper and Dana Bash of CNN, began the end of Biden's bid for a second term. The President struggled to make points, complete sentences, and remember facts; he spoke in a raspy whisper. This was not the first time voters expressed concern about Biden's age, but his decline was shocking to many, and suddenly Trump seemed likely to win in a landslide. New reporting by Tapper and Thompson reveals that the debate was no fluke at all. In “How Joe Biden Handed the Presidency to Donald Trump” (an excerpt from their new book “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again”), they lay out a case that the latter half of Biden's Presidency was carefully stage-managed by his top aides; Biden would often end the workday as early as four-thirty.  “What [aides and] others would say is, ‘His decision-making was always fine.' The job of the President is not just decision-making. It's also communication,” Tapper tells David Remnick. “If you are a President . . . and you're not able to go into a room full of donors and speak extemporaneously for ten minutes, then there's something wrong. And that was happening in 2023.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

In Episode 355 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul dissect a week filled with narrative-shaping headlines and global optics that suggest Trump is anything but out of power. They break down Trump's royal treatment on his Middle East tour, explore the geopolitical shift toward nuclear energy and AI infrastructure, and reflect on the UAE's extraordinary decision to close its Grand Mosque for Trump's visit, a first in history. The hosts scrutinize the Supreme Court's conflicting legitimacy, the AutoPen scandal, and Biden's mental fog as revealed in the newly released Hur tapes. From CIA-backed media distractions to judicial overreach, Jon and Chris explore how the regime props up a false reality while Trump maneuvers through both the surface and sovereign layers of control. With sharp insight and humor, they tie in symbolism, SCOTUS hypocrisy, and global realignment as the world prepares for a tectonic political shift.

The Washington Roundtable discusses new information that has emerged about Joe Biden's decline while in office, and his advisers' efforts to downplay it, as chronicled in several new books. The group also discusses the challenges faced by members of the press as they report on Donald Trump's signs of aging and his long-standing incoherence. “I think that's where we run into trouble,” the staff writer Susan B. Glasser says. “Donald Trump has always been quite ignorant. He's always been a fact checker's nightmare. He's always rambled. He's always lied. And, yes, he's always not known basic facts about the American system of government. So where do we discern a trajectory with him? How does age factor into it?”This week's reading: “The Mideast Is Donald Trump's Safe Place,” by Susan B.

This week, President Trump visited three Middle Eastern nations where his family has deep business ties. Over the past month, billions of dollars have poured into Trump-owned companies. It has revived longstanding questions about whether the financial windfalls are influencing policy. White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López reports.

The Constitutionalist is a podcast co-hosted by Professor Benjamin Kleinerman, the RW Morrison Professor of Political Science at Baylor University and Founder and Editor of The Constitutionalist Blog, Shane Leary, a graduate student at Baylor University, and Dr. Matthew Reising, a John and Daria Barry Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University. Each week, they discuss political news in light of its constitutional implications, and explore a unique constitutional topic, ranging from the thoughts and experiences of America's founders and statesmen, historical episodes, and the broader philosophic ideas that influence the American experiment in government.

Our Constitution does not spend a lot of time detailing foreign policy powers.  We know the president can appoint ambassadors, negotiate treaties and use executive agreements in our relations with other governments.  But beyond that, what is the role of the presidency?  What are the checks and balances with the other branches?  What do we mean when we say foreign policy is an “inherent” power?  To walk us through this complex power, we are pleased to have Dr. James S. Robbins as our guest this week.  Dr. Robbins is Dean of Academics, Institute of World Politics ; Senior Fellow in National Security Affairs at the American Foreign Policy Council; and Former special assistant in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

This week, President Trump visited three Middle Eastern nations where his family has deep business ties. Over the past month, billions of dollars have poured into Trump-owned companies.

A hero to some, and a villain to others, the seventh president of the United States was a populist firebrand who reshaped America and left a legacy that still echoes today. In this episode, Dan dives into the life and times of Andrew Jackson from his birth in a cabin on the frontier to his mission to 'drain the swamp' of Washington elites. He's remembered for defying the courts, expanding U.S. territory and for his abhorrent treatment of Native Americans during his presidency. Revered by some as a champion of the common man and reviled by others for policies that caused lasting harm, Jackson remains one of the most polarizing figures in American history. Joining Dan is Dr. Natalie Zacek, historian and lecturer in American Studies at the University of Manchester. Produced by Mariana Des Forges and James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

The Washington Roundtable discusses the unprecedented corruption of the federal government, including Trump Administration members' self-enrichment through cryptocurrency schemes and the inaugural committee, and the gutting of parts of the government that are responsible for rooting out self-dealing from public life. It is a level of corruption so “outright” and “brazen,” the staff writer Evan Osnos says, that it constitutes “a new phase in American politics.” This week's reading: “Mike Waltz Learns the Hard Truth About Serving Donald Trump,” by Susan B.
