The Republican Party says it is fighting Democrats. But what happens when Republicans actually have the power to force meaningful change? Today, you will understand 50 years of the GOP distraction game and how Republicans use distraction, political theater, campaign rhetoric, and social media battles to hoodwink the voters into ignoring the things that actually determine policy outcomes. Instead of using must-pass legislation to force meaningful reforms, the GOP passed a budget bill yesterday with Democrat help that actually made things worse. I also explain why Republican politicians benefit politically from allowing courts to exercise enormous power. Republicans can campaign on appointing “conservative judges” while simultaneously blaming courts when their own policies are blocked.  It all boils down to political theater and political outcomes.

Sen. Susan Collins joins POLITICO's Jonathan Martin at Perry's Lobster Shack in coastal Maine for a wide-ranging conversation about her reelection fight in the senate, President Trump's second administration and the future of the Republican Party.   The Maine Republican also discusses Canadian tariffs, immigration enforcement, her independent record and the challenge of appealing to voters in an increasingly nationalized political environment. Collins makes the case for bipartisan governing — and argues that there is still room for a political middle.   Plus, Jonathan and Collins dig into a classic Maine meal of lobster, steamers and clam chowder.

In this commentary segment from The Tara Show, host Tara and co-host Lee Rogers discuss a recent headline from The Federalist alleging that Senate GOP leadership would rather cede Texas to Democrats than back its own grassroots voters. The discussion focuses on political funding dynamics within the Republican Party, highlighting comments from Senate figures like Louisiana Senator John Kennedy regarding budget allocations in key general election contests like the Texas Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico. The host criticizes establishment campaign arms for allocating significant resources during primary battles while refusing to back non-establishment nominees in general elections. Framing this as an institutional betrayal of conservative voters, the segment argues that party leaders prioritize maintaining establishment control over securing legislative majorities.

In this segment of The Tara Show, the host discusses an article published by The Federalist titled "GOP Would Rather Cede Texas To Dems Than Its Own Voters". The commentary focuses on internal friction within the Republican Party regarding campaign funding for conservative nominees, specifically highlighting the Texas Senate race involving Republican Ken Paxton. The host criticizes establishment Senate leadership for allegedly withholding political and financial support from grassroots candidates following contested primaries. The discussion frames this dynamic as an institutional betrayal of conservative voters, arguing that party leaders prioritize maintaining establishment control over securing legislative majorities.

Tudor Dixon is joined by Evita Duffy Alfonso for a wide-ranging conversation about patriotism, America’s universities, the rise of socialism among Gen Z and what conservatives must do to win over the next generation. Evita shares stories from her family’s Great American Road Trip and explains why seeing America firsthand can help young people reconnect with the country’s history, culture and values. She also opens up about her experience as a conservative student at the University of Chicago and discusses the challenges conservative and Christian families face when deciding where to send their children to college. Tudor and Evita examine ideological conformity on college campuses, whether conservatives should fight to reclaim institutions like Harvard and Yale rather than abandon them, and how universities could be held accountable through federal funding and tax policy. Plus, Evita discusses why socialism is gaining traction with some young Americans struggling with housing costs, groceries and an increasingly elusive American Dream—and argues that Republicans need to offer tangible economic solutions rather than simply dismissing those frustrations. They also discuss her husband Michael Alfonso’s run for Congress in Wisconsin, the emerging Gen Z conservative movement and why the battle for America’s next generation may reshape the future of both political parties.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Laura Loomer joins Michael Cohen for a fiery and controversial conversation about Iran's nuclear ambitions, President Trump's strikes on Iranian targets, and the terrifying consequences of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon. Loomer argues that America cannot afford to wait for absolute certainty—and warns that the global balance of power could change dramatically.The conversation goes even further, tackling the explosive rise of antisemitism, the DSA, Islamic extremism, and what Loomer calls a growing jihadist influence inside American politics.Cohen and Loomer debate where criticism of Israel ends and antisemitism begins—and whether both Republicans and Democrats are failing to confront an increasingly dangerous political movement.With the midterms approaching, Loomer delivers a blunt warning about the future of the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, and the political battle for America's future.

Memo from corporate headquarters to staff:“Notice – the beatings will continue until employee morale improves.”That corporate joke would also fit the perverse ethic of the Republican Party's latest assault on homeless Americans. Believe it or not, the Party's new homeless policy – officially embraced by the Trump regime and already enacted by 16 right-wing state governments – is to blame homelessness on (guess who?) the homeless! Yes, hundreds of thousands of individuals and families living on the streets in our Land of Plenty are being ordered to go inside – even though they have no “inside.”But pious GOP politicos are not merely chiding the poor. They're using Big Government's authoritarian might to criminalize, arrest, incarcerate, and forcibly medicate some of the hardest-hit people in our country. It's a raw, disgraceful example of the aristocratic arrogance of today's billionaire brat class. Such as Silicon Valley Trumpster, Joe Lonsdale. He's been on a sadistic crusade to ban homeless indigents from making alleys, underpasses, and other vacant spots into their “home.” A multi-billionaire profiteer of the Palantir espionage conglomerate, Lonsdale lives in splendor in his mansions, but he doesn't want to be “bothered” by the poor who might be perturbed by the inequality he perpetuates. Indeed, Jon recently demanded that angry poor people who might pose a threat to upright, uptight royals like him should be subjected to public hangings.In a democratic society, government's role is not to protect the privileged from the people, but to protect the people from the oppression and ever-grasping greed of royal wannabes like Lonsdale.

Grief, Forgiveness, Acceptance, and Rejection by Dr. Daniel Brubaker https://www.amazon.com/dp/1665763159 Authordrbrubaker.com Healthcare providers and the public had no education in how to conduct end of life grieving until 1969 when Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross published her experience with hospice patients at the end of life. She was a Swiss-American psychiatrist, a pioneer in near-death studies, and author of the internationally best-selling book, On Death and Dying (1969), where she first discussed her theory of the five stages of grief, also known as the “Kübler-Ross model”. Since then, grief has been expanded into different areas other than end of life. This book also describes the five stages of grief and adds two more stages. However, it delves deeper into the emotions involved with grieving and how one manages many grieving areas, such as death, divorce, job loss, and so forth. Therefore, this book is written for anyone going through a grieving process. We say pain, suffering, and grief are inevitable, but how to cope and improve life is only done with experiences and knowledge. This book is not just about grief, but other emotions that come into play such as forgiveness. As Forgiveness is associated with grief. We discuss the different types of forgiveness and how each functions. Understanding the emotions involved with forgiveness helps relieve the pain of hostility and grudges one may hold. Acceptance is the last stage of Kubler-Ross's five stages of grief, but we take this a step further into social acceptance, which also plays a role in grief. We discuss acceptance by others, such as friends and family. We include rejection by others, which can produce grief. We also discuss acceptance of others, such as people of other races, gender and so forth. Rejection of others, such as being prejudice, can lead to grief by the victims and others around them. I felt compelled to write about all the hatred, pain, and suffering causing grief around the world. I wrote this in empathy for my patients who grieve. I wrote this book out of my own experiences of grieving from health, personal and professional negative issues. About the author Republicans for Progress has been initiated by Dr. Daniel Brubaker to release the negative, retrogressive, and oppressive grip of the Republican Party over Americans. The goal of the initiative is to move forward, instead of backward, to compete as a great democracy representative around the world. There is no place for autocracy and fascism in America. We incorporate numerous ideas to continue our democracy, and further compete globally. Dr. Daniel B. Brubaker has spent half his career in academic medicine including the University of Pittsburgh Health Science Center, Oklahoma University Health Science Center, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Departments of Pathology. He has spent the past twenty years in medicine industry, which includes legal and clinical medicine. Dr. Brubaker has been a registered Republican for his entire life, yet he is one of the only truly progressive Republicans. Currently Dr. Brubaker is concerned over the current direction of the Republican Party towards far right nationalism.

Hegseth's War – The Catastrophic Consequences of Maximum LethalityIn this week's solo episode, I examine a ProPublica investigation into Pete Hegseth's tenure as US Defence Secretary – and the catastrophic consequences of his "maximum lethality" doctrine. Here, I want to expand on some of the key themes we discussed.The Civilian Protection ProgrammeThe story begins with a programme called Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response (CHMR). It was a relatively new initiative, adopted after years of heavy civilian tolls in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. Its mission was to station personnel within major regional commands to develop a picture of life on the ground in combat zones, aiding decision-making on military strikes and helping to avoid or minimise civilian harm.Shortly after taking office, Hegseth polled the nation's top commanders about cutting the programme. He expected them to endorse his view that civilian security was "woke" and out of step with "maximum lethality." Instead, every commander rebuffed him. Nine chose to preserve the programme; two asked to expand it.Hegseth ignored them. He gutted the programme, cutting staff from nearly 200 to around two dozen, and reducing Central Command's team from 16 to one.The ConsequencesThe results were predictable. In Yemen, an air campaign killed 153 civilians and wounded 243 others. In Iran, a US strike on a school killed more than 100 children.Democratic senators and humanitarian groups questioned whether the cuts had contributed to the school tragedy. In a letter to Hegseth, 11 senators said the strike reflected the administration's "broader disregard for the strategic, legal and moral imperatives to minimise civilian harm."But this is not a regime that cares about international law. As I argue in the episode, the extreme right believes that international law has held the US back for years – that it has been fighting with one hand behind its back. The breaking of international law is not a regrettable byproduct of their policies; it is the mission.The "War Department"In a speech last year, Hegseth announced that the "Department of Defense is over" and that the "Department of War" had been restored. He spoke of "peace through strength" and "the warrior ethos." He told his enemies they would be "crushed by violence, precision and the ferocity of the war department." In other words: FAFO.But the reality is very different. The US military is under-resourced and overstretched in the Persian Gulf. It has lost its supply bases. It is facing critical shortages of everything from ammunition to toothpaste. The "maximum lethality" doctrine has produced exactly the opposite of what it promised.Hegseth's PsychologyAs I discussed in my earlier conversation with Jasper Craven, Hegseth is a deeply damaged individual – a product of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and of the far-right culture war that has consumed the Republican Party. He is living out a violent adolescent fantasy, speaking in the language of Christian fascism and the annihilation of the enemy.But he is also a symptom of a larger problem. Trump surrounds himself with incompetent ideologues because he does not want specialists and experts. He wants people who will tell him what he wants to hear, who will create chaos and distraction while he carries on looting the state. Hegseth is the perfect product of that system.If you'd like to support this work, please consider joining us on Substack.

While we were away over the summer, it was hard to miss stories about Democratic primary elections and seeming rise of the Democratic Socialists of America — followed almost immediately about the challenges DSA candidates will face in November's election. For our first episode of the fall season, we talk with a social movement scholar about whether the DSA's policies can win over enough votes to win in a general election and why political coalitions don't always align with the structure of America's two-party system. Rory McVeigh is the Nancy Reeves Dreux Professor of Sociology at the University of Notre Dame and and Director of the Center for the Study of Social Movements. He is the author of Politics and Privilege: How the Status Wars Sustain Inequality, along with William Carbonaro, Chang Liu, and Kenadi Silcox. The book investigates whether Americans are more likely to support a social-change organization if it explicitly opposes racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and religious bigotry or if it focuses exclusively on economic equality. Drawing on the results, they argue that privileged groups' desire to preserve their status is the primary obstacle to forming progressive alliances. We discuss what these findings mean for the DSA, the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party as we head into the midterms and the next presidential election cycle.

What would a Libertarian actually do if elected to Congress? Brian Lambert says Washington needs less power, Americans need more freedom, and the government needs to get out of your wallet. Josh Martens sits down with Brian Lambert, a Navy veteran and Libertarian candidate for Florida's 14th Congressional District, to break down his campaign and political philosophy. Lambert explains why he left the Republican Party, why his campaign centers on "your money, your freedom, your vote," and how he approaches federal spending, veterans' care, healthcare, war, surveillance, small business, and taxes. They dig into some of the biggest libertarian fights in American politics: • Cutting federal spending and returning education to local control • Protecting veterans while questioning America's military interventions • Getting government and insurance bureaucracies out of healthcare decisions • Ending warrantless mass surveillance and pushing back on Flock cameras Plus, Lambert explains why constitutional limits should come before political convenience and why reducing the IRS could give Americans more financial freedom.

August 29, 2026; 8am: ICE arrested nearly 50,000 people in July, a 15% jump from the previous month and the highest single monthly arrest total since the start of President Trump's second term. Just this week, the Department of Homeland Security announced that the wife of an active-duty soldier was deported back to Honduras. She is at least the 7th spouse or parent of an active-duty service member to be deported as part of Trump's immigration crackdown. The administration is reportedly preparing to cancel up to 200,000 immigrant visas nationwide, a move that would mark the largest revocation effort in U.S. history. Dara Lind, Senior Fellow for the American Immigration Council, and Rosa Flores, MS NOW National Reporter, join “The Weekend” to discuss.

The Peter Boyles Show August 29, 2026 HOUR 4: Hour 4 continues the debate over Colorado’s governor’s race, with callers weighing Victor Marx, Greg Lopez and the Republican Party’s direction, while Peter Boyles questions whether Colorado conservatives are being forced into an impossible choice in November. The conversation then turns to privacy and government surveillance, with callers discussing the Fourth Amendment, Flock and other cameras, drones, digital tracking, medical records, cell phones, facial recognition and just how much the government and technology companies can know about ordinary Americans—including whether the idea of a truly private life is already gone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With his approval rating 20 points underwater, Donald Trump previews his new midterm strategy: telling voters to pretend he's on the ballot. Jon and Dan break down how that will play, react to the president renaming Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” and preview the Republican Party's midterm convention. They also discuss Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s handling of a measles outbreak in Pennsylvania, new polling that has James Talarico up on Ken Paxton in Texas, and the unnerving number of Nazi-related scandals surrounding Mike Collins's Senate campaign in Georgia. Then, Annie Andrews, the Democratic nominee for Senate in South Carolina, talks to Dan about the momentum building for her campaign now that Darline Graham has won the Republican nomination.Hate listening to ads?

How much liberty are you willing to trade for "safety" before the surveillance state becomes the point? And if Washington has a spending problem, why does every solution somehow involve taking more of your money? It's Dumb Bleep of the Week, and Flock Safety's AI-powered camera network kicks off a much bigger argument about government surveillance, privacy, probable cause, and whether Americans should ever accept a "compromise" between liberty and security. We also get into Target apologizing over a Halloween costume, Karen Attiah's fight with The Washington Post, a viral abortion argument framed around love, and the DSA's awkward problem with abolishing police and prisons. Then it's Thomas Massie versus Trump-world Republicans, the 17th Amendment, the $40 trillion national debt, federal spending versus tax revenue, Calvin Coolidge on taxation, Trump's "Lake America" antics, and a Callaway Golf ad that triggered an absurd corporate apology.

Margaret Hoover sits down with former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, once one of Donald Trump's fiercest loyalists—and now one of his most outspoken defectors.Greene resigned from Congress in January after a spectacular and very public break with Trump over the war in Iran and the Epstein files. Now she says Trump “betrayed us all” and “lied” to the country.But why is she surprised?Greene reflects on what she failed to see in Trump, why she believes the Republican Party has failed its voters, and whether she and Tucker Carlson are building a new political movement outside the two-party system.She also faces questions about her own record. After Trump called Greene a “traitor,” she says his words triggered death threats against her son. But Greene herself once accused Nancy Pelosi of treason—a crime punishable by death. Hoover presses her on her apology for participating in “toxic politics,” whether she has done enough to make amends, and why she believes Trump now owes her an apology.Greene also makes a striking claim about what Trump told her privately about the Epstein files and explains why she believes women are not respected in the Republican Party.After the conspiracies, the lies and the violent rhetoric she once embraced, Greene is asking the public to see her differently.Why should anyone trust Marjorie Taylor Greene now?

Election season is heating up, but are the polls telling voters the full story? Tudor Dixon sits down with veteran pollster John McLaughlin, CEO and partner at McLaughlin & Associates and longtime adviser to President Donald Trump, for an inside look at the battle for Congress in the 2026 midterm elections. McLaughlin breaks down the razor-thin Michigan Senate race, why he believes Republicans need to sharpen their message, and how turnout could ultimately determine control of the House and Senate. He also explains why he questions some national polling methodologies and argues that Republicans must take their case directly to voters rather than relying on traditional media. The conversation dives into Mike Rogers and the Michigan Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed and the Democratic Party's progressive wing, Medicare for All, taxes, housing affordability, voter ID and proof of citizenship, as well as Republican proposals that McLaughlin believes could help define a national midterm agenda. Tudor and McLaughlin also examine Democratic primary results in Michigan, Wisconsin and Florida, the growing influence of democratic socialist candidates, concerns surrounding political fundraising and foreign money, and what both parties' strategies could mean for the balance of power in Washington. With the 2026 midterms approaching, McLaughlin says Republicans cannot simply run on President Trump's accomplishments—they need to clearly tell voters what comes next and define the choice facing the country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Karol Markowicz sits down with Kevin Smith, founder of Loud Majority and host of Loud Majority Live, for a wide-ranging conversation about grassroots activism, New York politics, the culture wars, and the power of getting involved at the local level. Kevin shares how the COVID lockdown era transformed him from a delivery driver into a political activist, beginning with Trump car parades across Long Island before expanding into school board races, local elections, campaigns, and political media. He explains why COVID restrictions awakened many Americans to the importance of local government—and why changing a school board or city council can sometimes have a more immediate impact on your life than national politics. Karol and Kevin also discuss the political transformation of Long Island, why so many New Yorkers are leaving the state, personal responsibility in an era of economic frustration, the WNBA and the culture wars, celebrities getting political, the decline of Hollywood entertainment, and whether American culture is beginning to shift away from ideological preaching. Plus, Kevin offers his prediction for the rise of economic populism and shares his advice for anyone who wants to improve their life: focus on what you can control, take responsibility, and don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Department of Homeland Security is preparing to welcome Kyle Schutt to its ranks as chief information officer. The news comes after FedScoop reported Wednesday that DHS CIO Antoine McCord was planning his exit. Similar to his predecessor, Schutt has little digital footprint of his own making. He even deleted his LinkedIn profile more than a year ago. Before moving to the federal government, Schutt was CTO at an online fundraising platform and led the development of another, which helped raise $1.8 billion for the Republican Party in the 2024 election cycle, according to ProPublica. On behalf of the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency, Schutt worked at a number of agencies, including the General Services Administration, per NPR reporting. Wired has tied his work at DOGE to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, as well as the Department of Health and Human Services. At DHS, he was responsible, in part, for the closing of the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, ProPublica reported. Schutt also has been linked to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Technology Modernization Fund may “experiment” with its own artificial intelligence model in the next fiscal year, acting Director Jessie Posilkin said Thursday. TMF's “tiny team” of eight within the General Services Administration is already all-hands-on-deck in managing and supporting the investments and proposals they have, she said. While the team has been using USAi, “there's a ton of playing around we can do,” she said at GovExec's Infrastructure and Modernization Forum in Reston, Va. Posilkin said she “flirted with this idea of … building some sort of model based on all of the TMF proposals that we've ever gotten and what's happened with them. I think, like any other agency team, I see a ton of opportunity for experimentation, and my goal for ‘27 is to get the capacity to start experimenting.” Posilkin also hinted at upcoming announcements: savings and value return numbers for fiscal 2025 and news of four new members of the TMF's board will come in the next month or so, she said. However, she does not know who will replace the board's chief, outgoing federal Chief Information Officer Greg Barbaccia. Also coming soon: the announcement of TMF's new investments at the end of September, she said. Posilkin didn't share details of those projects but said the TMF team has “been really excited both by the investments that the board is making decisions on right now, and what's in our pipeline.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

This episode is a wake-up call for the Republican Party, and it's not just about one person or one issue - it's about the party's values and its willingness to hold its own members accountable.The speaker takes on a Facebook comment from a listener who criticized him for not being critical enough of Democrats, but the speaker argues that he's actually been holding Republicans accountable for their actions, and that's what's really missing from the party. He shares a story about a Republican candidate who's been accused of running his supporters' money through a secret company in Wyoming, and the speaker questions whether the party will defend its own members when they're caught doing something wrong.The conversation touches on the importance of holding elected officials accountable, the dangers of tribalism, and the need for the Republican Party to stand up for what's right, even if it's not popular. The speaker also shares a personal story about being vilified for speaking out against wrongdoing, and how that experience taught him the importance of being a voice for truth and accountability.If you're tired of seeing the Republican Party lose elections because it's too afraid to hold its own members accountable, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's passionate argument for why it's time for a change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on The Gist, guest host Scott introduces a pair of interviews focused on the shifting identity of the Republican Party. First, Mike Pesca sits down with former Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger to discuss his memoir Renegade: Defending Democracy and Liberty in Our Divided Country, exploring how his fundamentalist Christian upbringing shaped his aversion to political groupthink, his military service, and his decision to vote for impeachment and serve on the January 6th Select Committee. Then, Mike speaks with veteran Republican strategist Stuart Stevens about his satirical novel The Innocent Have Nothing to Fear, examining how the GOP abandoned its post-2012 demographic autopsy, embraced populist protectionism, and alienated key minority voting blocs.

Today, Joe opens with a gut-check on America's broken election system — starting with reports that Michigan Democrats are quietly restoring dead voters to the rolls after they'd already been removed. Joe breaks down viral posts calling the system "fraudulent" and in need of a total reset, then turns to Sheriff Dar Leaf's continuing investigation into Michigan's Secretary of State office, plus a fiery clip from Tina declaring flatly that the machines are cheating and ballots are being harvested. It's a segment built around one question: when the evidence keeps piling up and nobody in power will touch it, who's actually accountable to the American voter?Joe sits down with Brigadier General (Ret.) Blaine "Blaino" Holt — a decorated Air Force veteran, former second-highest-ranking U.S. military official at NATO, and current Newsmax contributor — for a wide-ranging conversation on what's really driving Trump's foreign policy and his war on the administrative state. Holt lays out whether there's a single coherent "Trump doctrine" tying together Venezuela, Iran, and Russia-Ukraine, what he thinks the real endgame in Iran looks like after his own "surrender terms" comments, and where the pressure campaign is most at risk of stalling. Then Joe presses him on his boldest claim yet — that "there's no way this regime gets to remain in place" — asking how you tell the difference between dismantling a politicized bureaucracy and simply replacing it with a new one.Joe calls out a Republican Party he says is too feckless to stop the "uniparty" from Washington to Sacramento, spotlighting California's newest taxpayer-funded proposal and a leaked tape of U.S. House candidate Jeremey Ross questioning whether America is even his homeland. And Joe looks into New York, where Mayor Mamdani's government-run grocery stores are set to undercut the very immigrant-owned bodegas whose tax dollars are funding them — a real-time case study, Joe argues, socialism will be eating the people it claims to help. It all adds up to the show's central theme: the system is stacked, and it's time for a reset.

This week, my young socialist friend and I discussed the Republican Party, how and why Republicans always seem to fall in line behind Trump, the growth of MAGA beyond Trump and the implications of all of this for the entire country. Interesting conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

WABC Radio Host Brian Kilmeade joins Sid for his weekly appearance on the morning show to discuss Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who ran for president in 2016 and is considered a possible future contender for the White House, saying the Republican Party has not coalesced around Vice President Vance as its 2028 nominee and needs to have a broader discussion about its direction after President Trump leaves office.

Michigan could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate in 2026—and veteran Republican strategist Stu Sandler joins Lisa Boothe to explain why this race is one of the most consequential in the country. Drawing on decades of experience in Michigan politics, Sandler breaks down the high-stakes matchup between Republican Mike Rogers and Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, examining campaign strategy, voter coalitions, turnout, and the issues that could decide the election. The conversation also explores whether Michigan has truly become a swing state, how President Trump's coalition reshaped the political landscape, why Republicans believe they can flip the Senate seat, and how Democrats are balancing progressive activism with broader general election appeal. Sandler also offers his outlook on the battle for control of both the Senate and House, along with what the Democratic Party could look like after the Trump era. If you're following the 2026 midterm elections, Michigan politics, or the fight for Senate control, this episode provides an insider's analysis of one of the nation's most important races.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Kolvet (spokesperson, Turning Point USA, and executive producer, “The Charlie Kirk Show”) joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging debate over the future of Trump's MAGA movement, the economy, immigration, Islam, ICE, and the rise of the DSA on the left. Kolvet explains how a college student's complaint about a $20 burrito became a national political argument—and why he thinks Republicans risk making the same mistake as Democrats if they dismiss voters who say everyday life is still too expensive. Chris presses him on whether Donald Trump deserves the same criticism conservatives leveled at Joe Biden when voters felt the White House wasn't acknowledging their economic reality.  Chris and Andrew also clash over Muslim immigration and the role of Christianity in America, debate the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and the use of force by ICE, and examine whether Democrats are moving toward their own political transformation. Kolvet argues that the DSA could mount the same kind of “hostile takeover” of the Democratic establishment that MAGA carried out on the Republican Party, while Chris questions whether the movement's most extreme positions actually represent where Democratic voters are headed. They also discuss conspiracy culture and social media, including the attacks Kolvet and others at Turning Point faced after Charlie Kirk's death and why he believes online incentives are pushing Americans toward increasingly baseless conclusions.

Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson joins Jimmy to argue that damage to U.S. military installations in the Persian Gulf has prompted the Pentagon to reconsider its long-standing military presence in the region, including whether damaged bases should be rebuilt. The two believe the conflict has weakened U.S. influence with Gulf states, which as a result will increasingly seek regional security arrangements independent of Washington, citing a proposed Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani security agreement as an example.  The discussion shifts to growing political divisions in the United States over support for Israel, with both Jimmy and Larry suggesting the issue could fracture the Republican Party and contribute to the emergence of a new political movement. The segment compares this potential realignment to the collapse of the Whig Party in the 1850s and argues that prominent former Trump allies are increasingly breaking with him over U.S. policy toward Israel. Plus segments on Iran potentially losing its grip on the Strait of Hormuz, the Trump/Israel connection to Charlie Kirk's murder and Dr. Fauci's top advisor pleading guilty to intentionally dodging FOIA requests during the COVID pandemic. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, John Cullen, Mischa Paullin and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Kash Patel!
