David Sirota joins Taya Graham and Stephen Janis to expose the enormous financial incentives shaping Democratic politics and why political consultants can accumulate “generational wealth” even when their candidates lose. David Sirota explains how consultants profit from massive television-ad purchases, how billionaire-funded super PACs influence the candidates and policies voters are offered, and how the language of “moderation” and “electability” is used to undermine progressive and populist challengers.We examine the consequences of legalized political corruption: Washington's silence on America's healthcare crisis, the widening gulf between voters and their representatives, and the 50-year campaign to transform elections into auctions while concentrating power in the presidency.David Sirota is the founder of the investigative news organization The Lever, a former speechwriter for Bernie Sanders, an Oscar-nominated co-creator of the story for the movie Don't Look Up, and the producer of the podcast series Master Plan.Additional links/info:David Sirota and Jared Jacang Maher co-authored book, Master Plan: The Hidden Plot to Legalize Corruption in AmericaThe Lever's website, Instagram, and podcast series, Master planCredits:Production: Stephen Janis, Taya GrahamWritten by: Stephen JanisStudio Production: Cameron GranadinoPost-Production: Stephen Janis, David HebdenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

The midterms will definitively fall into one of three scenarios. Republicans began this Congress with a 220–215 House majority and hold the Senate 53–47. The environment is brutal for them: Trump's approval is at 33 percent, 70 percent disapprove of his handling of inflation and the cost of living, and the Democratic advantage on the generic ballot is getting close to eight points. But Republicans have a big money advantage, and the Senate map still requires almost everything to go right for Democrats.Scenario one is Ah, Nevertheless: Republicans retain both the House and Senate. They can lose two House seats and still hold 218, and a few candidate-specific wins, redrawn districts, or polling errors could get them there. The Senate is already a hard climb for Democrats, and all Trump has done his entire career is surprise people. But pretty much everything argues against this. The president's party usually loses seats in the midterms, Trump's approval and cost-of-living numbers stink on ice, and the battlefield is expanding into Republican territory. If the GOP holds both chambers, the story won't be that Trump beat the odds. It'll be that he is the odds. You don't bet against Big Donny T.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Scenario two is WINO — Win in Name Only: Democrats win the House by fewer than 10 seats while Republicans retain the Senate. This is, in my view, the most likely scenario as of August. Democrats get Speaker Hakeem Jeffries, control of the legislative agenda, committee gavels, subpoena power, and the ability to impeach by a simple majority. But with a tiny margin, every ideological bloc becomes a potential veto point. A handful of members could threaten Jeffries' speakership or stop legislation, and impeachment would be ceremonial without the Senate. Republicans keep the brake pedal while their senators become less Trump-aligned as his duck gets lamer. Democrats win the gavel, Republicans keep the brake pedal, and Jeffries ultimately pays the bill.Scenario three is My Blue Heaven: Democrats win the House by more than 10 seats and take the Senate, giving them at least 223 House seats and 51 Democratic-aligned senators. Trump's approval would need to remain in the low-to-mid-30s, affordability would need to dominate, and Democratic enthusiasm would have to survive the transition from the primaries to November. Progressives and the establishment would need to mend their fences and say, “Onward, onward, onward.” The Senate table would have to be almost entirely clean, including pickups in Alaska, Iowa, and Maine, plus a Michigan hold with Abdul El-Sayed.Ah, Nevertheless would mean Trump wriggled out of it yet again and avoided impeachment. WINO would produce a loud, hectic Democratic House that can investigate and pass bills but can't get much through the Senate. My Blue Heaven would give Democrats control of both chambers, allowing them to send legislation to Trump, multiply the investigations, and begin asking whether they have the votes to eliminate the filibuster.Those are the three paths in front of us: Republicans hold, the parties split power narrowly, or Democrats get their deliverance. It's a multi-versal ride that will only get clearer as we approach November.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:19 - Midterms Scenarios Revealed00:23:35 - Bernie Endorses Angie Nixon00:27:43 - National Debt00:31:01 - Iran00:35:16 - Kirk Bado on the Midterms01:06:41 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

California Lunacy Is Coming for You What happens in California doesn’t stay in California. And Gavin Newsom is Exhibit A. California regulators have now approved new efficiency standards for replacement tires. Yes, tires. Sacramento has decided that even the rubber on your wheels needs another layer of government regulation. The California Energy Commission says the standards will save drivers money on fuel. Critics are warning about consumer choice, costs and government overreach. But this story is much bigger than tires. This is how left-wing lunacy works. California becomes the laboratory. Progressives regulate it, mandate it, restrict it or ban it. Then the same political movement tries to take those ideas national. Gas-powered cars. Energy mandates. Appliance regulations. Climate restrictions. And now Sacramento is deciding which replacement tires are efficient enough for Californians to buy. That is why Gavin Newsom’s California record could become his biggest problem if he runs for president. He can change the scenery. He can change the message. He can try to sell himself as the polished, reasonable face of the Democratic Party. But he can’t escape California. Because the real question for voters won’t be whether Gavin Newsom can run America. It will be: Do you want America run like California? On Stinchfield, we expose the latest example of California’s regulatory obsession and why Americans everywhere should pay attention. Because what happens in California has a nasty habit of coming for the rest of us next.

A progressive primary upset turns into something much bigger when you follow the money and the message. We're rolling solo and starting with what last night's results suggest about where U.S. politics is heading: foreign policy is no longer a side issue. When wars drag on, when Israel and Iran dominate headlines, and when voters feel the cost through inflation and gas prices, they vote accordingly. I also unpack why the “jihadist” and “communist” scare talk misses the actual story, and how race-first politics on both fringes poisons any real populist reform. Then we pivot to a story that should be front-page news for anyone who flies. A Wired report points to GPS jamming tests near White Sands Missile Range and how interference can spill hundreds of miles beyond a test site. When multiple aircraft lose GPS at once, pilots and controllers get forced into backup modes under pressure. We talk through the reporting around a civilian medical flight that crashed into a mountain at night after GPS disruption, and why this raises urgent questions about military tech, FAA readiness, and public accountability. From there, we head to the Middle East for a fast-moving update: tanker incidents, reported Iran Oman talks over Strait of Hormuz routing and tolls, and the broader negotiating game between Tehran and Washington. I play a Trump clip on the 2015 Obama Iran nuclear deal and explain why undoing that framework makes any future settlement messier and more dangerous. We close with Gaza, separating talk of Hamas disarmament from the on-the-ground reality of continued territorial control and stated Israeli policy.

After losing his race, the MyPillow founder refused to concede and claimed there were mysterious "election irregularities."
