Podcasts about pundits

Imagine being wrong on all your prognostication. That's what Democrat political pundits face. As the dust settles from the 2024 election cycle, the political landscape is already shifting toward the 2026 midterms. While Democrats publicly project confidence, a growing chorus of private admissions and pundit predictions paints a stark picture: Republicans are poised for a commanding victory, potentially expanding their majorities in both the House and Senate. This isn't just optimism—it's rooted in the Democratic Party's self-inflicted wounds, from cultural overreach to economic missteps, compounded by President Trump's anticipated successes in taming inflation and delivering a banner economic year. Democrats are damaged goods, and as one insider put it, that's putting it mildly. With Trump fixing "Bidenflation"—the issue that sank Joe Biden—they're not just facing headwinds; they're staring down a political hurricane.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pundits are screaming about the so-called “AI bubble.” But historically slow-to-adopt industries like medicine and law are actually embracing AI at an unprecedented speed. Sarah Guo and Elad Gil look ahead to 2026, breaking down the major trends that will define the next era of AI technologies. They explore the future of AI foundational models, predicting breakthroughs in solving complex scientific problems. They share competing views on the timeline for robotics and self-driving cars, debating whether startups have a chance for survival or if incumbents will dominate. Elad and Sarah also discuss the return of tech IPOs and M&As, forecast a new wave of AI consumer agent software, and explore why consumer product innovation has been slower than expected. Finally, the two offer bold non-AI predictions for the new year, including the acceleration of defense tech startups and the second-order underrated impacts of GLP-1 drugs on biohacking. Plus, stick around to hear predictions on what's next for AI in 2026 from some of tech's biggest names and industry leaders. We hear from Jensen Huang (Founder/CEO NVIDIA), Arvind Jain (Founder/CEO, Glean), Winston Weinberg (Founder/CEO, Harvey), Scott Wu (Founder/CEO, Cognition), Raiza Martin (Founder/CEO Huxe), Zach Ziegler (Founder/CTO, Open Evidence), Aaron Levie (Founder/CEO, Box), Misha Laskin (Founder/CEO, ReflectionAI), Noam Brown (Research Scientist, OpenAI), Joshua Meier (Founder/CEO Chai Discovery), Bryan Johnson (Living Man, Don't Die), Sholto Douglas (Member of the Technical Staff, Anthropic), Ben & Asher Spector (Stanford PhDs) and Dylan Patel (Founder/CEO SemiAnalysis).

Republicans Set for 2026 Landslide: Democrats' Internal Collapse and Private Admissions Spell Inevitable DefeatAs the dust settles from the 2024 election cycle, the political landscape is already shifting toward the 2026 midterms. While Democrats publicly project confidence, a growing chorus of private admissions and pundit predictions paints a stark picture: Republicans are poised for a commanding victory, potentially expanding their majorities in both the House and Senate. This isn't just optimism—it's rooted in the Democratic Party's self-inflicted wounds, from cultural overreach to economic missteps, compounded by President Trump's anticipated successes in taming inflation and delivering a banner economic year. Democrats are damaged goods, and as one insider put it, that's putting it mildly. With Trump fixing "Bidenflation"—the issue that sank Joe Biden—they're not just facing headwinds; they're staring down a political hurricane.The cracks in the Democratic facade are most vividly exposed in Sen. Ruben Gallego's (D-AZ) leaked text messages from November 2025, where he lambasted his own party as the "not fun party" that doesn't allow "men to be men" or "women to be hot." Gallego lamented that Democrats have become judgmental and out of touch, alienating everyday voters with their rigid cultural stance.

In 2018, Jessica Yellin founded News Not Noise. She'd spent 17 years working in TV news (including as CNN's Chief White House correspondent) and through those years, she learned that traditional news media is really good at generating anxiety and ratings. What it isn't so good at is helping people understand what's really going on (at least, not without a daily panic attack). What we really needed was… well, the news without the noise.Meanwhile, around that same time, Katie Paris was seeing similar shortcomings in politics itself. Pundits out of Washington, D.C. were trapped in the way things had “always been done,” while Katie was seeing suburban women across the country getting together to make real change in their communities — not just following marching orders from D.C.When you think about it like that, of course it makes perfect sense that News Not Noise and Red Wine & Blue would collaborate!The news media has long been under attack by the Trump administration. He's explicitly called journalists “the enemy of the people,” verbally attacked reporters (especially women), and his latest ridiculous move is launching a new page on the actual White House website called “Media Offender of the Week.” We're all for thoughtful media criticism, but this partisan and deeply unserious web page insulting “Democrats and Fake News Media” is… not that.It's why we're so grateful to journalists like Jessica for bringing us political news in a way that helps us understand what actually matters and what's a mere distraction. Without knowing what's going on, after all, how can we make a plan to fix it? As the saying goes, “when you know better, you do better.”For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

Political commentator Scott Jennings has been called the “conservative explaining Red America to CNN viewers.” As the in-house Republican on CNN's NewsNight With Abby Phillips debate panels, he often acts as a de facto Trump spokesman at the table. Jennings has been in Republican politics for more than two decades. In the mid-aughts he worked as a Special Assistant to President George W. Bush, and later advised Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell in multiple campaigns. Jennings was openly critical of President Trump before and during his first term, especially after the January 6th attacks. But in his new book, A Revolution of Common Sense: How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western Civilization, Jennings argues that Donald Trump's second term is not just a political comeback, but a transformation of the presidency itself. Kara and Scott spar about the Epstein files, discuss what they mean for the MAGA movement, and whether Trump's policies are really “common sense.” Plus, how Scott turned into a MAGA man and why he likes being the odd-Republican-out at CNN.

It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report On today's program: More Epstein emails continue to surface, and they're becoming a growing problem for Donald Trump. Pundits are working overtime to run interference. In 2018, Megyn Kelly said on NBC that there's no such thing as consent for anyone under 18. But now that this standard is inconvenient for Trump, she's trying to reframe his reported attraction to 15-year-olds as "barely legal" in a grim segment on her podcast. Columnist at salon.com and publisher of the Hullabaloo blog, Heather 'Digby' Parton joins Sam to wrap up the week's news. They discuss the ending of the government shutdown, the Epstein Files, the failure of the Texas gerrymander attempt and more.

On this episode of Fox Across America, Jimmy Failla gives his takes on the disingenuous effort being made by Democrats in D.C. and left-wing media personalities to tie President Trump to the wrongdoings of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Texas Radio Hall of Famer Paul Gleiser stops by to talk about why Democrats shoulder all the blame for the recently concluded government shutdown. Co-host of “The Big Weekend Show” Tomi Lahren slams former first lady Michele Obama for complaining about basically everything, despite her lavish post-White House lifestyle. Fox News contributor Joe Concha shares his thoughts on how the White House could end all the speculation surrounding the Epstein files. PLUS, Lincoln Failla checks in to recap the eventful Clarke Rams football season. [00:00:00] Epstein files battle resumes in D.C.
