This week, the Geeks wade into a swamp of tech meltdowns, governmental facepalms, and the usual Elon-flavored absurdity. Kicking things off, protesters take their beef with Tesla to the streets while Proud Boys decide this is the hill to vroom and die on. Meanwhile, Elon's privacy prayers have finally been answered—thanks to new FAA rules, he and Tay-Tay can jet around untracked like it's 1999. Oh, and while Earth dodges a killer asteroid, the Moon might be signing up for an unplanned smackdown. Sorry, Luna.In the news, Signal's reputation as the go-to encrypted app takes a nosedive thanks to Republican Senate drama and an Inspector General with receipts. The NSA warned us. Nobody listened. Now it's “SignalGate” season. Elon continues his narcissist Voltron strategy by having xAI buy X (from Elon). Trump, meanwhile, is moonwalking into a $2.3B Truth Social payday, while his meme coin tanks post-tariff tantrum. OpenAI flexes with new AGI funding and 700M AI-generated images (probably 699M of them cursed), while the first therapy chatbot actually helps someone and a brain-voice interface starts sounding a lot like Skynet: The Prequel. Oh, and in shocking news: Trump's war on “information silos” is code for “your personal data is about to be someone else's business.”Media Candy serves up a grab bag from punk docs (Turn It Around) to jungle pulp throwbacks (Tales of the Gold Monkey), and yes—Stephen Collins is still problematic. Apple's prepping new AI-powered health apps, emoji drops, and a food tab for News+, because why not. WhatsApp now wants to be your phone, Alexa+ disappoints, and Zuckerberg tries to make Facebook usable again with a “Friends-only” feed. Meanwhile, Bill Gates pulls a nostalgia flex by dropping OG Microsoft source code like it's a rare vinyl. In other dark corners: Kermit the Frog is now giving commencement speeches, Val Kilmer sadly exits stage left, and Elon fails in his bid to buy a state supreme court. Hands off, Elon. Just… hands off.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Senate Democrats, led by New York Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, voted with the entire Republican Senate majority to pass a six-months spending bill, essentially giving Dear Leader Trump and co-President Elon Musk the power to gut essential services for working class Americans while enriching the corporate donor class.  This has led to a fight within the Democratic Party, and it's a fight for very soul of what The Party used to stand for: strong working class values.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com "‘Absolutely ridiculous': Democrats seethe at Schumer for backing GOP spending bill."

Vance clash with Zelenskyy in a dramatic Oval Office exchange—was this a strategic move or a diplomatic disaster?

Andrew Cuomo is back, launching a bid for NYC mayor, while Ramaswamy and Rep. Byron Donalds make moves for governor's mansions in their states. Over in Congress, Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Republican Senate leader, announces his retirement—does this signal the need for term limits and fresh leadership in Washington?Plus, the long-awaited release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents turns out to be a major letdown, leaving conservatives furious. And in New York, Governor Hochul tightens the leash on Mayor Eric Adams, proving that political alliances can shift in an instant.From high-stakes drama in Washington to power struggles in the states, we're covering it all.

A new investigation uncovers abuses in California homeless shelters. Also, Republican leaders at the State Capitol talk about legislative priorities. Finally, evaluating how safe Sacramento's streets are for cyclists. Investigation into California's Homeless Shelters

This week's episode of Tying it Together features an interview with Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger, arguably North Carolina's most influential politician, as a new legislative session begins. Host Tim Boyum and Sen. Berger openly discuss Helene's mountain relief efforts, collaboration with new Gov. Josh Stein and house speaker Destin Hall, and other topics in the senator's office. “I don't know that when all is said and done that it's going to end up any different,” Sen. Berger told Boyum when talking about Gov. Stein and cutting deals. “But I am optimistic that we may find ways to address some things that we may not have in the past.” The two also touch on the unresolved N.C. Supreme Court election race, tax rates, and facing a primary in next year's election.

Donald Trump's swift actions from the day he's taken office could indicate he's learned since his first term. The 47th President has already signed a significant number of executive orders, relating to border security, inflation, and even gender issues. In just two orders, he revoked nearly 80 of Joe Biden's presidential actions, and he's pardoned more than a thousand convicts from the January 6 Capitol riot. Republican strategist Amy Tarkanian says Trump's showing he's prepared and eager for change. "Now that he also has a Republican Senate and a Republican House, the wind is at his back with making sure that everything continues to go as smoothly as possible."

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the battle begins Tuesday with the hearings for President-Elect Trump's cabinet posts. Every one of Trump's nominees must be confirmed. These hearings will be a test of the Republican Senate majority. If the GOP Senate majority will not confirm Trump's cabinet nominees, then those who vote no must be primaried and defeated.  The GOP owes its majority to Trump and his landslide victory. Sen Chuck Schumer has made clear he wants to use the nomination process to weaken Trump and sabotage his entire agenda.  Schumer and his thugs must be put in their place, they must be crushed, and their sickening character assassination tactics must be exposed and defeated. The Senate Democrats will go over the allegations against Pete Hegseth not because they believe them, but because it is what they do -- the Senate Democrats are perversely obsessed with sex as a weapon against GOP nominees. The goal is to smear, humiliate, destroy.  Later, the Democrats are now starting – rather than change course and apologize for the wildfires in California, they whine about Trump. Gov Gavin Newsom should worry about his state, not Trump. Also,  President Biden is taking credit for the achievements of others like Benjamin Netanyahu and the IDF. Biden undermined Israel every step of the way. If there is a hostage deal it's thanks to Trump and Netanyahu. Afterward, Florida's legislative leaders Daniel Perez and Ben Albritton are typical do-nothing Republicans. They are opposing Gov Ron DeSantis's call for a special session to deal with the deportation of illegal aliens and further hurricane relief.  All Floridians should get involved on these two huge issues, call your state reps and state senators, call Perez and Albritton, and insist that they act immediately.

Tonight on The Last Word: Senators call on the House to release the Matt Gaetz ethics report. Also, the ACLU sues for information on Donald Trump's mass deportation plans. Plus, President Biden allows Ukraine to use U.S. missiles inside Russia. And The New Yorker's post-election analysis considers the “ambience of information” in the new media landscape. Rep. Steve Cohen, Mae Ngai, Amb. Michael McFaul, and Nathan Heller join Lawrence O'Donnell.

President-elect Donald Trump's supporters, including Elon Musk and conservative commentators, are advocating for Rick Scott to be chosen for Republican Senate leadership over John Thune or John Cornyn, as Trump looks to strengthen his influence in Washington.  

This week, we have a new Senate Majority Leader and are getting a clearer picture of what the next Congress will look like. But what will it do on gun policy? To answer that question, we have one of the preeminent congressional reporters on the show. Punchbowl co-founder John Bresnahan has been covering Congress for decades now. He knows all of the key players in Congress, including new Majority Leader John Thune. Bresnahan said Thune had the strongest pro-gun record of the three Senators who ran for the majority leader role. He said John Cornyn's role in negotiating the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act hurt him in the race and may even have made the difference since it was a very close vote. He argued the entire Republican Senate leadership is strongly pro-gun now. Still, Bresnahan doesn't necessarily believe there are going to be a lot of opportunities for pro-gun legislation in the next Congress. With a 53-vote majority and the filibuster likely to remain, there probably aren't any significant gun bills that can make it to President Donald Trump's desk.  However, there are other ways Congress could have a big impact on gun policy over the next eight years. He said the longest-lasting impact will likely come from judicial appointments, and he noted the GOP will probably control confirmations for all eight years of Trump's term. Special Guest: John Bresnahan.

OA1087 - We examine how the incoming President and his administration are already breaking the law with his transition team before taking on his announced intention to subvert the Constitution--and his own political party--through an unprecedented clown car of forced recess appointments. From the Defense Secretary the National Guard determined they couldn't trust with a gun around Joe Biden to the Attorney General who just resigned from Congress to avoid the details of what he has been doing with high school students to the deputy chief of staff who is Stephen Miller, there are plenty of good reasons these freaks might not clear even a Republican Senate. Could this one weird Constitutional trick force them through?  Finally, the world's richest man wants to tell the federal government how to spend its money.

Earlier this year, the now president-elect said he didn’t approve of a ban on the social media platform. So, could he actually do anything to reverse the ban? Inside Sources digs into the possible paths towards saving TikTok.  An inside look at setting up a new Senator’s office As Senator-elect John Curtis prepares to move from the House to the Senate, it begs an insider’s type of question: what’s the whole logistical process look like when it comes to setting up a new Congressional office? Corey Norman is the Chief of Staff for Senator-elect John Curtis; he joins the show to give some insight into how political moves work in Washington, DC.  Spending during this election cycle in Utah Looking back on this last election, we can now see how much each candidate spent during the race. And in the races for governor, senate, and attorney general, the candidates spent millions and millions of dollars. We talk about the big money spent this cycle and tell listeners where they can go to see financial information on their favorite candidates.  Utah’s independent candidates: How did they fare in the election? Independent candidates running for Utah’s legislative seats hoped to make a dent against the Republican legislature in the election. Unfortunately for them, it didn’t happen this cycle.

Walker, Utah’s first and only female governor. While she has passed on from this life, her legacy remains. Inside Sources hosts Leah Murray and Adam Gardiner give listeners a history lesson into how women have affected Utah’s politics for more than a hundred years.  Pentagon: UFO sightings are on the rise Did you know that the Pentagon has an office tracking UFO activity? A recently declassified report shows just how many sightings or accounts were reported, and the Pentagon is facing several questions on the topic. Do you believe in aliens? Do you want to believe? Listen to this segment!

Gaetz has been under investigation for allegations of sexual misconduct, illegal drug use and accepting improper gifts. The choice of Gaetz for attorney general stunned senators and even some of Trump's own advisors and set up a test of loyalty for a Republican Senate that might be loath to confirm Gaetz. Host Elahe Izadi speaks with congressional reporter Marianna Sotomayor about why Trump would choose Gaetz – and why the former congressman is so controversial, even within his own party. Today's episode was produced by Laura Benshoff, with help from Ariel Plotnick and Emma Talkoff. It was mixed by Rennie Svirnovskiy and edited by Monica Campbell with help from Maggie Penman, Lucy Perkins, and Reena Flores. Thanks to Emily Rauhala. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Following the 2024 election, Donald Trump's return to the presidency, along with anticipated Republican Senate control, signals potential shifts in mortgage policy, GSE reform, and regulatory leadership, with the Mortgage Bankers Association planning further analysis on implications for the industry.-------------------------------------------------------------Adam DeSanctis, Director of Public Affairs at Mortgage Bankers AssociationAs a strategic public affairs and communications executive with nearly two decades of experience, Adam has deep expertise in strategy, management, and media relations. He is widely considered to be an expert in a variety of communications, including advocacy, brand, executive, crisis, grassroots, and social media.

A laudable hallmark of Donald Trump's first presidency was “Promises made, promises kept.” With his selection of my friend, Pete Hegseth, to be the next Secretary of Defense, he seems set to deliver on one of his most important pledges in the 2024 campaign. Think of it as “Make America's Military Great Again.” While Pete is best known as a popular host on Fox News, he is also a decorated combat veteran and a longtime champion of a strong national security posture and the veterans who have sacrificed so much to protect us.  He is also the author of, among other terrific books, The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free. It's a powerful indictment of what has been done, as Barack Obama would say, to “fundamentally transform” the U.S. armed forces.  The list includes using ideological purges, mandatory vaccinations and political commissars to remove patriots from the ranks and indoctrinate and suppress those who remain for believing the military must be a color-blind, merit-based institution rooted in and defending traditional American values – not intentionally and toxically divisive cultural Marxist norms. President Trump pledged publicly in the course of the campaign to replace senior officers who went along with this so-called “Woke” agenda. He reportedly will put into place a commission of retired senior officers to review the records of all three- and four-star generals and admirals and recommend the immediate retirement of the many who have, as Pete put it, betrayed the men who keep us free. At a moment when the world is an extremely dangerous place, there is no more pressing mission – and Trumpian promise to be kept – than restoring our national practice of “peace through strength.” Pete Hegseth is the man our next President has brilliantly selected to lead it and the new Republican Senate can't get him to work soon enough!  This is Frank Gaffney.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Chuck Schumer & Bob Casey Are Election Deniers. On Friday, the Associated Press called the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race in favor of Republican challenger Dave McCormick—but sitting Senator Bob Casey has refused to concede! Appeasing Casey, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has withheld an orientation invite for incoming Senators from McCormick. 3:10pm- Donald Trump Performed Well with Philly Voters. Chris A. Williams, Stephen Stirling, and Anna Orso of The Philadelphia Inquirer write: “President-elect Donald Trump pushed Philadelphia to the right this year by increasing his vote totals across a range of demographic groups and improving his performance with working-class voters, a shift that's been underway since his first run for president in 2016. According to an Inquirer analysis of precinct-level data, Trump increased his standing in the city's white, working-class neighborhoods, winning more than 30% of the vote in precincts where white voters make up the majority of the electorate. He also improved in majority Black and Latino precincts, and with middle and working-class voters.” You can read the full article here: https://www.inquirer.com/news/donald-trump-gains-philadelphia-voters-20241112.html 3:40pm- On Wednesday, Senate Republicans will select their next leader. The three contenders to replace Mitch McConnell are: John Cornyn (R-TX), John Thune (R-SD), and Rick Scott (R-FL). According to a leaked internal whip count, Thune currently leads with 24 projected votes. If the leaked count is accurate, Scott currently has several notable supporters, including Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Tommy Tuberville, and J.D. Vance. Could Vice President-elect Vance's endorsement be enough to sway the vote?

We're starting to get a fuller picture of what the incoming Congress is going to look like under President-elect Donald Trump. Republicans have clinched a majority in the Senate and seem poised to take the House, too. But on the whole, it's a less rosy picture for the party than Trump's win suggests. Republican Senate candidates drastically underperformed the incoming president. Over in the House, the GOP isn't expected to make any significant gains on its existing narrow majority. Burgess Everett, Congressional bureau chief for Semafor, explains why Trump's big win didn't translate to more down-ballot success.And in headlines: California Gov. Gavin Newsom called for a special legislative session to “Trump-proof” state law, Trump's White House starts to take shape, and Target stores removed ‘Wicked' dolls from shelves amid a packaging error that included the address of a porn website.Show Notes:Check out Burgess reporting – www.semafor.com/author/burgess-everettSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

We have the topline election results, but we don't know everything for sure yet. Many House and some Senate races have yet to be called. Still, what we do have is enough to give us a pretty good idea of what will be possible for gun policy under the new Republican Federal trifecta led by Donald Trump. That's why we've brought back Cam Edwards of Bearing Arms to help dissect what's likely from what's possible. Cam said if the Republican Senate majority lands somewhere between 52 and 53, as it seems likely to, and they hold an equally slim House majority, there is little reason to think major gun bills are coming in the near future. Although, he also agreed the larger the Senate majority, the greater the odds Republicans nuke the filibuster and open up more legislative possibilities--even if he doesn't like the idea or think it's likely to happen. Instead, Cam said the biggest movement on gun policy is likely to come through executive branch action. He predicted Trump would follow through on promises to undo the rules President Joe Biden has enacted, such as the pistol-brace and "ghost gun" bans. Same for firing Biden's ATF Director. Cam was less certain about how far Trump might go with appointing a new director or pursuing his own pro-gun rules. He argued judicial appointments are likely to be the most impactful moves Trump will make when it comes to gun policy. He said Trump may end up appointing several more Supreme Court Justices, who will serve for decades. Then, Cam gives his view on Trump's wild card nature and whether that could actually lead to some new gun restrictions as well. Or whether he's given up on trying to make any kind of deal with Democrats after the past four years.

Hawk recorded this episode approximately 36 hours after Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris (who had taken over the Democratic nomination from Joe Biden). Hawk begins by sharing an editorial from Le Monde, which characterizes Trump's reelection as "the end of an American era" and warns of severe global consequences, particularly for European security and democratic institutions worldwide.He discusses various aspects of the election results, including the significant drop in Democratic voter turnout compared to 2020 (13 million fewer voters), Trump's gains in 48 out of 50 states, and the ineffectiveness of Harris's well-run campaign despite knocking on three million doors in swing states. The host covers multiple reactions from political figures and analysts, including Bernie Sanders' criticism of Democrats for abandoning the working class, and concerns about Trump's promises to pursue mass deportations, pardon January 6th rioters, and use the military against political opponents.Throughout the episode, Hawk expresses deep concern about the implications of Trump's victory, citing various indicators of potential authoritarian governance to come. He notes that California's governor Gavin Newsom is already preparing to counter potential Republican actions, and shares worrying quotes from Trump allies about plans for retribution against political opponents. He concludes the episode on an emotional note, expressing exhaustion with the continuous struggle for civil rights and democratic values, while promising to continue his work despite the election outcome.

The election is just days away. In fact, it's the day after this episode is released to the public. The time to cover the daily developments on the campaign trail is over. Now, it's time to look ahead at what the realistic expectations on gun policy should be for a potential Trump or Harris administration. To do that, I've brought somebody from an outlet on nearly the opposite side of the spectrum from The Reload. Jennifer Mascia has been a reporter at The Trace, a non-profit publication with ties to Everytown for Gun Safety, since it was founded. She is well-sourced inside the gun-control movement and closely follows gun politics news. She joins the show to help suss out the most likely policies Trump or Harris would pursue and by what means. Mascia and I agreed legislation is the least likely area for change since Republicans are likely to gain a Senate majority regardless of who wins the presidency--but only a narrow majority. Instead, the real action will be in court appointments and executive actions. There, Harris may be more restrained by both a Republican Senate and the amount of gun action President Joe Biden has already undertaken. Trump is likely to continue judicial appointments in line with his first term while potentially firing the ATF Director Biden appointed and undoing his executive actions, though it's hard to say how far he'd expand beyond that.

You asked! We listened! The $99 Annual Deal is extended until Election Day. Make sure you upgrade from your complimentary status if you are coming from Patreon!Here it is… Our conversation with Kevin Ryan on the state of the culture and philosophy that this election takes place in. With that, my final thoughts. Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you.That's a quote from a Star Wars prequel and it's the final decider on who I believe will win the President, the Senate and the House. We will get back to that. First, let's empty the file on my 2024 election thoughts in order. First, the landscape…Donald Trump is a flawed candidate damaged by January 6th and hard capped at 48%It's the reason his party tried to overthrow him during the primaries. However, his resilience and ease in overcoming those challenges is telling. Donald Trump began to gain and beat Joe Biden in head to head polling after he was indicted and his New York trial had a positive effect on his pollingThis was the first moment I believed Trump could have a redemptive arc. If the public did not understand the charges against him and saw the prosecutions as political, he would be a martyr beyond core MAGA. The Dobbs decision has been rocket fuel for DemocratsIn off-year elections and special elections the present threat to reproductive rights have gotten Democratic voters to the polls. My criticism that they might be punished for not taking the threat seriously enough has not panned out as of yet. Joe Biden's presidency has been broadly unpopular and specifically unpopular with anyone who makes under $100,000 a yearBiden was elected in the panic of COVID to be a steady hand at the wheel. He lost that with Afghanistan and never regained it. The border went from a purely GOP partisan issue to a mainstream winner for Republicans almost entirely because of executive orders Biden made at the beginning of his presidency. Issue after issue, the same playbook unfolded… deny, deny, deny until you blame it on Trump. But nothing was more personal than inflation. A class warfare issue like no other. Personal story, my wife and I were driving to dinner with friends. The husband was at the wheel of their new Tesla. The issue of politics comes up. I mentioned Trump was doing well because of the economy. “But the economy is good?” Is the response. And it is a sentiment I've heard from many people in my orbit and online. The stock market is booming? We avoided a recession? Inflation is lower here than anywhere else the world? How is this a weakness?And behind the wheel of a new Tesla, I agree.Which is where we get to that $100,000 a year figure. Because anywhere below that, inflation gets infinitely worse. It's persistent and embarrassing. A ritual humiliation and reminder you are not good enough. That kind of stuff sticks with people. So that's the landscape… how about the candidatesTRUMPTo say that Donald Trump has run his best campaign out of his three tries is an understatement. I'll be honest, I stopped trying to fully understand the logic of Trump sometime in 2016. His combativeness, the issues he centered and erratic behavior is impossible to grade. Why did he just send that tweet? Has he discovered a hidden undercurrent in American society? Or did the KFC bucket he had last night make him farty?In his two previous attempts he often didn't seem to understand which way was up either. He fired two different campaign directors in 2016. He fired one of them in 2020. Both times, election day came with him trailing mightily in the polls. The refrain for his chances became religious. He will pull through… because…But that's not the case this cycle. Susie Wiles, a Florida GOP veteran who watched her party take a purple state and drench it blood red and Chris LaCivita a bare-knuckle student of the last era of a Republican dominance under George W. Bush have run the ship from initial announcement to election day. Tactically, the boat has pointed in the right direction. Trump decapitated well-funded rivals in his own party in Desantis and Haley. He ended the political career of the man who beat him in 2020. Trump has stayed off Twitter and has largely been able to avoid his habit of turning a bad 24 hours into a bad 3 days because of his inability to concede a point. He has mitigated his worst issue, abortion, as well as anyone who appointed the justices that flipped Roe vs. Wade can and accentuated his strengths with the economy and the border. Of course, he is still Trump. He's an a*****e that viserally annoys 40% of the country. He is the loser pissbaby who couldn't wrap his head around losing in 2020 and did a January 6th. And with that I will now leave space on the page so you can add the pet issue or event that you believe best encapsulates why Donald J. Trump should never be president again.If you need more space, please open a new window and hit return until you have enough. He also got shot in the face and survived. Not really sure how that factors into an election. Which brings us to…KAMALA Well… Let's start with…BIDENJoe Biden is unpopular. This is in part because two of his failures played into both sides of the coin that helped him beat Trump.His strength, foreign policy, where he sat on the powerful Senate committee for years was telegenically shattered with the Afghanistan pullout. It is impossible to say you did a good job when people are falling off the landing gear. His weakness, the border, which he gleefully signed executive orders for on day one of his presidency created another telegenic disaster and supercharged an abusive of America's asylum system. It's impossible to say you did a good job when hundreds of Haitians, Chinese and Congolese have found themselves in Texas border towns.Add inflation, add Gaza.But it was his age that ended his career. The one thing he couldn't ultimately shift the blame for.The depression about his horrific debate created a panic for him to drop out, an unthinkable move as late in the campaign. Which brings me to Darth Plagueis the Wise… It was at the RNC when I sat in stadium seating talking with a man I would later be told knows everyone in Washington. We were watching something in a stadium in recessed seating which is what reminds me of the Darth Plagueis scene. I am steadfast and pig headed that Biden won't drop out. He's too stubborn, I said stubbornly. Very calmly… he explains to me that Joe Biden will drop out this Sunday. He would have done it during the RNC but he didn't want to give the most important speech of his career while he had COVID. Within and hour Mark Halperin reported something similar.Sunday morning, I wrote a newsletter about how Biden would never say die. Sunday afternoon, Biden announced he would not seek the presidency. I looked like quite the a*****e. It was Joe-ver. My assumption was that taking over a campaign mid-stream was like trying to fix an F1 car while driving it and trying to win a race. Impossible. And yet…KAMALAThe Democrats hot swapped Biden for Kamala and for a shining glimmer of a moment… it looked like something was brewing. Brat Summer. Coconut Trees. Unburdned by what has been.Sure there were some weird moments… why do so many big named Dems not want to be VP? But the vibes! THE JOY! When Kamala selected Tim Walz over Josh Shapiro, the leftist base of the party rejoiced! She picked a man who is at his best explaining liberal solutions to normies! Not the polished Obama clone just because he is the very popular governor of a swing state. This was bold! This was new! This was interesting!And then… she tacked right… Wait. Why pick the guy that can explain single payer health care with a Cabelas metaphor if you are going to talk about how Israel has a right to a lethal defense force that can eradicate any enemy it identifies? Why not pick the Jew who is +20 in Pennsylvania?At least she found a wedge issue to distance herself from Biden… wait… didn't do that either. Did she parlay the buzz of the summer into a series of interviews with friendly media to reintroduce herself? Nope. Didn't do that either. I took a lot of crap from folks when I said she lost the debate. Not because she didn't rhetorically hold her own, but because she had the most to gain by telling America about herself and she mostly spent her time running down Trump. Cathartic after Biden's disaster? Sure. But not the mission. And she hasn't really done much since then. To her credit, her campaign has not been a flaming disaster like her 2019 run was. But… one thing seems to be the same as that failure… the more America sees of Kamala Harris, the less they like her. Which brings us to…THE RACEDo any of my opinions about the Harris campaign matter? Donald Trump is a one-man Get Out The Vote drive for the Democrats. The specter of him returning to power raised OVER A BILLION dollars since Kamala took over. And so we get to the final decision and it is determined by what you believe… Do you believe polls that say Donald Trump is more popular than he has ever been?Do you believe polls that say Democrats are at Obama-level excitement for Kamala?Do you believe (as our friend Ettingermentum has spelled out) that polls are herding to a stalemate because they are terrified to overestimate Democratic support again and are therefore overestimating Trump support? Do you believe that an administration with a 30/60 right track/wrong track environment can win re-election? That's a lot to think about… much like the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise… Because in that RNC conversation with the Guy Who Knows Everyone… where he told me the exact day Biden would drop out and I didn't believe him... He told me something else. He told me Kamala would be the candidate.And he went further…He told me that Democratic power brokers know she can't win. But they know she's a bad candidate and don't want her around in 2028 when the party can really rebuild. So this a suicide mission. Raise a lot of money. Give her the old college try. Pat her on the head when it's over and never have to be in the Kamala Harris business again. So, do I believe him now?I believe that Donald Trump is inarguably the defining figure for a decade of politics, love him or hate him. I believe he has run a better campaign than both of his opponents. I believe enough independent voters did not have a good time the last four years. I believe Donald Trump, the 45th president will become the 47th president. Donald Trump will be the 4,547th president. I believe the map is too favorable to Republicans to not hand them the Senate. But I don't believe that a shoddy Get Out The Vote operation and reliance on low propensity voters in blue states is enough to win them the house. Republican White House, Republican Senate. Democratic House. Of our four scenarios… PAX MAGA - Republican SweepDemocratic Civil War - GOP White House and Senate, Democratic HouseUnburdened By What Has Been - Democratic White House and House, GOP SenateRoe Sends Her Regards - Democratic SweepI believe Democratic Civil War… is the most likely.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 61: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Kamala Harris closing argument: "The fact that someone does not agree with us does not make them the enemy within…I will always put country above PARTY and above SELF." The Donald Trump closing argument: "I'm not Hitler!" Well, I'M sold! THAT'S the way to make sure you aren't associated with Nazis and Hitler. Bring them up! And the way to avoid the continuing reverberations from Tony Hinchcliffe's Puerto Rican "garbage" insult is to dress up in a garbageman's orange reflective suit and give interviews from the cab of a garbage truck with the TRUMP CAMPAIGN LOGO ON THE SIDE. And Jeff Bezos has already learned the wages of sin: Trump is touting The Washington Post's "decision" to not endorse anybody as a repudiation of Harris and an endorsement of him. It's time to boycott Amazon, Whole Foods, The Washington Post. GOOD POLLS NEWS: CNN polling, Harris by 5 in Michigan, 6 in Wisconsin, tied in Pennsylvania - but she leads by 3 in Pennsylvania among "extremely motivated voters." The interior numbers continue to go entirely in Harris's direction. AND AN ANNOUNCEMENT about the short-term future of this podcast. B-BLOCK (32:37) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Ohio's Republican Senate candidate doesn't realize the VICE President can't issue Executive Orders. Any remaining thin veneer of journalism falls away at Fox. And Politico's Rachel Bade and Ex-CNN Now Just Stopping Passersby Chris Cillizza humiliate themselves over Biden's quoting of Hinchcliffe's "garbage" remarks. C-BLOCK (41:00) GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wisconsin has ten electoral votes up for grabs, and both candidates campaigned there on Wednesday to drum up last-minute support. The Badger State is part of the 'blue wall,' which Vice President Kamala Harris is eager to win. FOX 6 Milwaukee political reporter Jason Calvi joins to break down what he sees on the ground and emphasize what the candidates need to do in their final days. One of the biggest focuses on Election Day will be on the state of Pennsylvania, where swing state voters could decide not just the White House but also control of the U.S. Senate. Incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey Jr. is defending his seat from GOP challenger and businessman Dave McCormick, who has closed the gap on Casey's lead in the polls in the past few weeks. Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick, joins to explain his view of President Biden's “garbage” comment and why he believes the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will deliver victories to both him and former President Trump.

In this episode of Better for America, Rebecca Weber speaks with Kari Lake, Arizona's Republican Senate candidate, about her top priorities and the challenges facing the state. Lake emphasizes the urgent need to secure the southern border, warning that illegal immigration is straining the economy and endangering public safety: “We cannot afford what Joe Biden has allowed to happen.” She pledges to deport undocumented migrants and protect Social Security, stating that “granting mass amnesty would bankrupt the system.” Lake also criticizes her opponent, Ruben Gallego, accusing him of radical policies, saying, “He makes AOC look conservative.” She alleges that his family has cartel ties and highlights his past votes to defund the police, oppose the border wall, and approve reckless spending that fueled inflation. Additionally, Lake stresses the importance of election integrity, urging Republicans to vote in overwhelming numbers to “make it too big to rig.” She closes by calling on voters to pray, stay engaged, and support her campaign to counter Gallego's funding from left-wing donors."

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss more good polling for incumbent GOP senators and two key challengers, the sobering facts and projections about our massive debt and deficits, and the no good, very bad week for CBS News.First, they break down promising polling for incumbent GOP senators like Florida's Rick Scott and Texas' Ted Cruz, as well as key challenger Tim Sheehy's growing lead over Democrat Sen. Jon Tester in Montana. The outlook for a Republican Senate majority in 2025 is improving.Next, they groan as new numbers and projections from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) show a $1.8 trillion deficit for this past fiscal year and an even bigger one expected for the year to come. The figures also show that just paying the interest on the debt cost taxpayers $892 billion in Fiscal Year 2024 and will be more than a trillion dollars next year. It's unsustainable and neither party cares.Finally, they chronicle the horrible week for CBS News. This includes network management chastising "CBS This Morning" Co-Host Tony Dokoupil for asking some tough questions of Ta-Nehisi Coates about his new book that's very hostile towards Israel,  "60 Minutes" egregiously editing the interview with Kamala Harris, and network brass telling reporters not to say that Jerusalem is in Israel.Please visit our great sponsors:BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3MLVisit the 3ML website for 10% of your first month.  Zbioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLUse code 3ML at checkout to save 15% off your first order.

Today marks one year since the Hamas terror attacks on Israel that left over 1200 dead, and hundreds of others taken hostage. Throughout the 12 months since the attacks, Israel has worked to root out Hamas terrorists in Gaza and has moved into Lebanon to neutralize the Iranian proxy group Hezbollah. Domestically, President Biden is receiving criticism over his administration's handling of Hurricane Helene aid, with thousands of Americans in the Southeast currently without power and resources. Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) joins the Rundown to reflect on the one-year mark since the Hamas attacks, his efforts to get Republican Senate candidates elected, and react to the Biden administration's response to Hurricane Helene.  With one year passing since the Hamas terror attacks on Israel, families of hostages take on that day are growing weary that their loved ones may never be returned home. One of those hostages is 20-year-old Edan Alexander, who was born in Israel but was raised in New Jersey. His parents are hoping for a ceasefire agreement that could bring their son home. Edan's father, Adi Alexander joined the Rundown from a rally in Central Park, New York, held by hostage family members, to discuss his son's story, his hopes for his son's return and what he feels Israel needs to do to bring all of the hostages home.    Plus, commentary from New York Post Columnist and author of Stolen Youth, Karol Markowicz.  (Image Via AP) Learn more about your ad choices.

Former Maryland Governor and current Republican Senate nominee Larry Hogan sits down with Margaret Hoover to discuss why he's running to flip a seat long held by Democrats and what he will do if he wins. Hogan, who was popular even among Democrats when he left office in 2023, makes the case for Maryland voters to support him over Democrat Angela Alsobrooks, vowing to be an independent voice in the Senate and a check on the extremes of both parties. Hogan assesses the vice presidential debate, criticizing J.D. Vance's “whitewash” of January 6th but praising the civil tone of the event. Hogan defends his own refusal to support Donald Trump or Kamala Harris in November and details concerns he has about electing either of them. Hogan also addresses America's role in the world as tensions rise between Israel and Iran, his stance on abortion rights, and the prospect of a post-Trump Republican Party.
