AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on one Republican Senator raising questions about U.S. tariff policy.

It appears Donald Trump's grip on the Senate Republicans is loosening. Trump pushed hard for his nominee for DC US Attorney, Ed "Stop the Steal" Martin. Trump even posted that, "We are going to take our Country BACK and FAST. Ed Martin will be a big player in doing so and, I hope, that the Republican Senators will make a commitment to his approval." Trump's hopes have been dashed, as Sen. Thom Tillis has said he will NOT vote in favor of confirming Martin. Trump is now considering Fox's Jeanine Pirro for the position.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 119: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Senator Lisa Murkowski may be the most important person in the country right now. Her public confession that she too is afraid of the Trump nightmare and her HINTS at talking to Senate colleagues ABOUT her fear – could provide just enough Republican rebellion to rein Trump in. It feels as if she just got it, as if she just understood that yes Trump is Nazi-esque and yes Trump often emulates the Soviets but the closest parallel to him is O'Brien and "The Party" in Orwell's "1984" and the simple terrifying conviction that "the object of power is power." That's why I think when Kristi Garden Noem and Secretary of Defense (and Vodka) Hegseth (if he's still on the job after ANOTHER Signal chat came to light) file their report on the border to Trump this week and tell him no, they don't need to invoke The Insurrection Act, he may do it anyway because... the object of power is power. Murkowski and thirteen other Republican Senators and at most four Republican Representatives can stop this. They can save the country. They can impeach Trump or if they still can’t get over the hump, the 18 of you can use the THREAT to impeach him, to virtually fetter him, to at least control the width and breadth of his damage, to make him know the Senate WILL vote against him. She can also talk to anybody on the Supreme Court except Alito or Thomas. The other seven, in the middle of the damn night - at 1 AM Saturday - stepped in to freeze any further disappearing Americans under the phony premise of The Alien Enemies Act. And there is reason to hope that these Murkowski-led conversations might happen before the iron curtain of dictatorship descends: Later in her confession of fear, she hinted at doing exactly what I just suggested. Meanwhile, how many times can you self-destruct on this? Gavin Newsom dismisses the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case as a "distraction" and calls Democrats sheep for defending the constitution. On the other hand, Senator Ed Markey is crafting a sense of the senate resolution stating Trump cannot again be elected, and cannot again serve, as president or vice president. Damn Straight. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Musk Crappertruck Owner who claims to also be a "girl dad"; Pennsylvania congressman Dan Meuser kinda blames Governor Josh Shapiro's criticizing Trump for provoking the attempt to incinerate him and his family in the governor's mansion on Passover. And Trump DEI hire Pam Bondi lies that compulsive martyr and 85th Place Olympic Trials finisher Riley Gaines "went to the Olympics." Not unless she bought a ticket, Pam Blondie. C-Block (55:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The renewed Trump bid to ban the Associated Press got me talking to a friend: How MANY times have I been banned, as a reporter? Do you mean this century, or in total? It's... a lot. From the LA Clippers to the ESPN Campus, I've been banned... a lot. And je ne regret rien!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During a back and forth with reporters for his meeting with the president of El Salvador, Donald Trump proved what a low class piece of trash he really is. He did this not only by slandering the man that he wrongfully deported, but also when he viciously attacked CNN reporter Kaitlin Collins. The man has no class at all, yet he likes to pretend that he does by surrounding himself with gold, which was also on display during the meeting. Republican Senator, and Trump ally, John Kennedy from Louisiana admitted during an interview on CNN this week that he has no idea why Donald Trump is hellbent on enacting his tariff policy because Trump has no idea why he's hellbent on it. This is the first time that a sitting Republican has admitted that Trump is operating without a rudder, and it could be an indication that more Republicans are losing faith in him.European officials travelling to the United States have been instructed to use burner phones for communicating during their trips in order to avoid Donald Trump spying on them. This is the same procedure they use for traveling to countries like Russia and China because they don't trust the government, and now the US has been put on the same level thanks to Trump. Our allies no longer have any faith or trust in us.The Constitutional crisis that many of us had feared is officially here. The Trump administration has made it clear that they are going to continue to defy an order from the US Supreme Court, which means that the system of checks and balances put in place by the Constitution have been thrown away. There's not much that can actually be done about this, but that doesn't mean there's nothing that can be done. The unfortunate thing is that the one remedy is one that is almost impossible to use.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Market Turmoil. Dow futures open down 1,500 points as the impact of President Trump's tariffs continue to take a toll on markets around the world. This comes as Senate Republicans pass a budget plan that is already getting bi-partisan pushback. Rep. Brendan Boyle, the top Democrat on the Budget Committee, tells me why he calls the Republican's plan a betrayal of the middle class. Health Scare. A second child has died of measles in Texas, as the Department of Health and Human Services lays off thousands of workers and attempts to scrap billions in public health grants. I'll discuss the impact with former HHS Sec. Xavier Becerra and two department employees, including one who was fired and told he "deserved it" by a Republican Senator. Faith and Fellowship. A lesson in bridging the divide in these troubled times from the organizers behind the first-ever White House Seder. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

Hosts: Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon  Republican Senators are working hard to keep President Trump's agenda alive, focusing on several things like addressing Medicaid and Social Security, tackling the nation's debt, and boosting defense spending. The Inside Sources host talk about a few of those points and what Utah’s Senator John Curtis is saying about potential cuts. 

Hosts: Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon  Fallout on “SignalGate” continues to grow  It's now being called “SignalGate” -- messages about military plans being inadvertently shared with a journalist through an app called Signal. The story broke yesterday from The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, and it's been the biggest political story of the last 24 hours. Many in the national security sector say this is a huge breach; the White House says no classified information was actually shared. The Inside Sources hosts discuss this developing story and get a cybersecurity perspective from Brandon Amacher, director of the Emerging Tech Policy Lab and an instructor at Utah Valley University. The hosts also talk about potential legal ramifications with KSL Legal Analyst and Inside Sources co-host Greg Skordas.    GOP Senators balance needs of the budget and Pres. Trump’s agenda  Republican Senators are working hard to keep President Trump's agenda alive, focusing on several things like addressing Medicaid and Social Security, tackling the nation's debt, and boosting defense spending. The Inside Sources host talk about a few of those points and what Utah’s Senator John Curtis is saying about potential cuts.    Governor Cox vetoes first bill of 2025; also signs another 75 bills  Governor Cox has vetoed his first bill of the year -- one that would have changed the process by which some property taxes are collected and distributed to local school districts. The bill, Senate Bill 37, was sponsored by Senator Lincoln Fillmore. It faced opposition from many educational groups and the State Auditor. Hosts Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon share their thoughts on the governor’s decision to veto and also discuss some of the other 75 bills he signed yesterday.    Civics education: The three branches of government  In the past few weeks, there's been a lot of discussion about each of the three branches of government and their roles. Many people have said things like "the courts can't tell a President what to do" or "Why is the President talking about budgets when that's up to Congress to decide." Rusty recently finished a book called "A Republic If You Can Keep It" -- he shares some thoughts from that book that tie in with the discussions currently going on in our country.    Pres. Trump: Portrait in Colorado Capitol was “purposefully distorted”  Have you ever had a bad photo taken of yourself? How about a bad portrait?

With a government shutdown less than a week away, a leading Republican Senator is calling for Congress to pass a spending bill. Maine Senator Susan Collins, the chairwoman of theAppropriations Committee, says government shutdowns are inherently a failure to govern effectively and have negative consequences all across government. House Republican lawmakers unveiled their year-long continuing resolution on Friday. The bill freezes overall funding at fiscal 2024 levels but does include cuts to certain agency programs and increases to others, such as the FAA and fully funds the largest junior enlisted pay raise. It also doesn't include any language related to DOGE. Learn more about your ad choices.

 Republican Senator Roger Marshall held a town hall in his home state of Kansas over the weekend, and he ended up cutting the event very short after the questions got too hard for him to answer. The crowd was not happy from the start, and wanted answers on the cuts to Medicaid, cuts to veterans' care, and answers about what DOGE is actually doing. The Senator couldn't handle it and bailed out, and THEN his office blamed Democrats for infiltrating the crowd. Over the weekend, Donald Trump re-stole the classified documents that he had taken to Mar-a-Lago at the end of his first administration, loading up about 15 boxes of documents aboard Air Force One and taking them down to Florida. Since he is now president, he would have the authority to do this if he declassified the documents or issued an executive order, but so far there's no indication that he has done either of those things. Cabinet members in the Trump administration have had enough of Elon Musk meddling in their offices, according to a new report from The Washington Post. These department heads - who were appointed by Trump and confirmed by the Senate - are getting annoyed with Musk's constant interference that is hindering the few people still working in the government from actually being able to do their jobs. Musk's meddling is causing the government to be far less efficient.The Trump administration has decided to recalculate how GDP is determined by eliminating government spending from the equation - but not ALL government spending. They are only planning to stop calculating how much government employees are being paid in order to hide a potential drop in GDP after all the mass firings. This will be a way to convince the public that things are good, when the exact opposite will be true. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Simon's live update from Washington on today's dizzying developments in the US relationship with Ukraine, after President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance berated President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office.

While much of this past week's attention was on the war In Ukraine and the Trump Administration's talks with Russia, a prominent Republican Senator says America can not lose focus on another international foe. Senator Tom Cotton has written a book, “Seven Things You Can't Say About China,” which aims to give an honest, unflinching assessment of China's threats. This past Tuesday, Sen. Cotton joined Dave Anthony of the Rundown to explain how China became America's most dangerous enemy, the subtle ways China has infiltrated the United States, and how we must respond as a nation. The Arkansas Republican explained why he's very concerned about TikTok's links to China and the Chinese Communist Party's use of the social media platform to collect data and influence. The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee also discussed what it would be like if China “won” and became the globe's leading superpower. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today, on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Senator Tom Cotton, allowing you to hear more about his concerns about China and what actions Washington must take.

President Trump met with Netanyahu and vowed that the U.S. take over the Gaza strip. It's a problem that no one has been able to solve and the plan for a massive rebuilding effort could be a healthy solution to a place torn apart for decades and decades. USAID has been dismantled as their ridiculous spending habits have been brought to light over the last few days, so say goodbye to the DEI musical in Ireland or the transgender opera in Columbia. Not surprisingly, Politico, PBS, the BBC and the New York Times had all received funding from USAID. Congressman Jim Jordan joins me to discuss budget reconciliation as Republican Senators head to Mar-a-Lago for a closed door discussion on budget strategy.

Donald Trump's trade war officially kicked off on Saturday, with tariffs being put in place on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China. His own aides tried to talk him out of it, as did Republican Senators, but Trump was hellbent on making this happen. Trump inherited a strong economy (on paper) and the gains of the last four years are about to be completely wiped out with this move. He'll try to blame others.A memo sent out by the Department of Transportation is directing the agency to send federal funds for infrastructure projects to areas of the country with higher birth rates and marriage rates. This is absolutely insane, and there's really no other way to put it. These statistics have no bearing on infrastructure needs, and it is also ridiculously creepy that Republicans are so obsessed with how many babies people are having. Lara Trump defended her father-in-law's claims that DEI was somehow to blame for the deadly plane crash in D.C. last week, but the way she made her point left critics howling with laughter. Lara claimed that only "competent" people should be hired at ANY job in the country, which is coming from someone that isn't qualified or competent enough to hold any job at all, yet she somehow was put in charge of the Republican Party last year. According to a new report from The Wall Street Journal, aides to Donald Trump are scrambling to repair his image after his first two weeks in office have proven to be a complete disaster. The chaos that the administration has caused along with the dangerous incompetence is already wearing on the American public, and Trump's aides know that they have to fix the problem before it gets completely out of hand. But it may already be too late for that.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Republican senators are freaking out and trying to warn Donald Trump that his tariffs are going to hit red states - THEIR states - the hardest. Republican Senator John Thune of South Dakota said that the thought of the tariffs is giving him "heartburn" because he knows how devastating that is going to be on the agriculture industry in his state. But this is what they all supported, and it is hard to have sympathy for them at this point.The Trump administration has sent out a memo ordering senior FBI officials to quit, retire, or otherwise resign or else they will all be fired on Monday. This is straight out of the Project 2025 playbook, which Trump adamantly denied he would be implementing upon taking office. Yet here we are, and nearly every single order Trump has given mirrors the plans laid out in Project 2025. In a post on Truth Social this past week, Donald Trump announced that "very soon" he would be dismantling the public education system in the country and "returning it to the states." This is a disaster waiting to happen, as most states don't even come close to having enough money to fund public education, and if they are given discretion with federal money, it will go to other projects instead.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- On Thursday, Interior Secretary nominee Doug Burgum testified before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee where he described how the incoming Trump Administration will assure American energy dominance. Meanwhile, Lee Zeldin—nominated to serve as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator—told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee that China is an adversary and isn't necessarily the best nation to partner with regarding “clean energy.” 5:15pm- During his confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent emphasized that the United States may be in an energy race with China—but it's completely false to suggest China prioritizes clean energy. During one notable exchange, Bessent used statistics to destroy Sen. Michael Bennet's claim that the 2017 Trump Administration tax cuts only benefited the wealthy. 5:30pm- While speaking with Politico, Sen. John Curtis (R-UT) said Director of National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard has not done enough to win his vote. The Wall Street Journal reports that Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) is also skeptical of Gabbard. However, Democrat Jon Ossoff, of Georgia, is open to voting “yes.”

It's been a massive, cold and painful week. And he hasn't even been inaugurated yet. We're hurtling towards more and more massive and painful weeks. And massive impacts. And this week the most consequential news revolved around the hearings for SECDEF and the cowardice of Republican Senators and their inability to stand up to Trump and deny Pete Hegseth. But the other party continues to be weak and feckless and sucks in its own unique ways. The Democrats put up a paltry attack. Again. They got rolled. Again. And now it looks as if Hegseth is inevitable and has set the tone for a January of bizarro world cabinet nominees and Trump momentum.  None of it is normal, none of it is acceptable and none of it is preordained. But the Democrats continue to lose. Lose power, lose control, lose the narrative, and lose whatever semblance of cohesion they had. It's time to stop investing in failure, America. The parties are the problem, and independents like you can be an important part of the solution.  Leave the herds. Declare your independence. And watch or listen up.

Pete Hegseth is your next Secretary of Defense. Nothing from Tuesday's contentious hearing will likely pluck GOP votes away from him. If anything the histrionics of the Democrats on the panel will make it harder for skeptical Republicans to stray. The way you collapse a nominee when you are in the minority is you give them enough rope to hang themselves. Ask cordial questions that elevate in complexity and hope they screw something up. That is the most likely possibility with Trump's slate who are being painted as unready and unprepared.They did not do that.Instead we got screeds on Hegseth's personal history, financial management and his opinion of women. What standing does a Republican Senator have if he is on the side of Sen. Tim Kaine taking the moral high road on infidelity? That being said, even if the Democrats had played a more strategic hand it looks like the GOP had effectively closed ranks. The lynchpin of a potential washout was Iowa's Joni Ernst and she spent the first portion of her time discussing the importance of a Pentagon audit (the upside of finding someone from outside the traditional drafting grounds for SecDef since DoD has routinely failed audits) and then played home run derby pitcher on the subject of women in the military. Yesterday, Hegseth was the most vulnerable of Trump's nominees. Today, betting markets pin that honor on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.But if the Republicans are on the same page the Democrats are going to take this seriously, then I would bet on the full slate sailing through. Also, on the this podcast…Jen Briney, host of Congressional Dish, joins to discuss the stakes of these hearings and the ideological divides within Trump's coalition. Dave Levinthal, the money man, is back to discuss Kamala Harris 24 continuing to charge donors months after losing.Chapters* 00:00:00 - Episode Introduction and Live Show Announcement* 00:01:35 - Pete Hegseth's Confirmation Hearing Analysis* 00:10:17 - Breakdown of Trump's Coalition Cabinet* 00:21:00 - Marco Rubio's Focus on Foreign Policy* 00:30:00 - Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel: Challenges and Prospects* 00:43:10 - Upcoming Events and Political Updates* 00:52:49 - Dave Levinthal This is a public episode.

President-elect Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, faced some intense questioning in his confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Hegseth was asked about his stance on DEI initiatives, women in the military and very personal questions regarding his personal life including his treatment of wives and his drinking habits. Republican Senators and several hundred veterans are showed their support for him in D.C.

Before the Indiana General Assembly even began, a couple of Republican Senators let their disdain for incoming Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith be known. Senators Jim Buck and Susan Glick filed a bill that would strip Beckwith of a huge portion of his power and responsibilities. Will their attempt backfire by angering the voters who elected Beckwith to send a message? Rob Kendall, Jim Merritt, and Abdul-Hakim Shabazz discuss on this week's Statehouse Happenings.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 77: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump's return to the world of TV interviews is important (and crazy) but the shooting of the head of United Health Care just blocks from my home actually seems to be one of the watershed moments of 21st Century American Politics. We have often descended into the slough of despond that all political parties, voting, law, government, the entirety of the power structure mean nothing and that the only way to change things is violence. I think we're entering such a stage. If so: fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night. AS TO TRUMP apart from his latest threat to imprison opponents (everybody on the January 6 House Committee should go to jail) did anybody notice his insistence that we are "subsidizing" Mexico and Canada by $100 Billion a year and at those rates they should become states. Wait. What? Mr. Numb Nuts Psycho President? If Mexico is a STATE in the United States – you know, where you are right now – the people LIVING there become CITIZENS of the United States, so not only can't you deport people from the US State of Mexico… but you can't put up a wall between Texas and the state of Mexico and in fact you can't inhibit movement BETWEEN Mexico and any state of the union. I hope somebody told MAGA about Trump's new Mexico solution: make it a state. That'd be two senators from Mexico and if New York has 20 million people, 26 congressmen, Mexico with130 million people at 13 congressmen per 10 million residents would get 169 Congressional seats. Trump proposes giving Mexico 169 seats in the US Congress. Also a GOP Senate operative uses the A-word on Tulsi Gabbard, and a Trump operative is ready to blackmail Republican Senators to get Pete Hegseth confirmed anyway. B-Block (25:00) THE OTHER WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: "Democratic" Governor Polis again sides with Sideshow Bob Kennedy. Laura Loomer isn't just hateful, she's stupid. And Marshal Petain would be proud: Jeff Bezos, Joe Scarborough, and Mika Brzezinski all double down on collaborating with the Trump Regime. C-Block (35:55) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: My Lunch With Elie. How a delightful afternoon getting to meet Elie Mystal meant I did NOT meet Martin Scorsese. That, in turns, evokes the story of Francis Ford Coppola unintentionally paying a former colleague of mine something like a million dollars to be in the background of one scene in Godfather II.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, we are on the precipice of a grave Constitutional crisis. Preemptive pardons by President Biden could be the most egregious assault on our constitutional system yet. A preemptive pardon corrupts the language as it corrupts the law. If Biden does this there would be no choice but to impeach him. The purpose wouldn't be to remove him from office - it's the process that should be triggered to make it clear that what he's doing is a high crime. Also, people say that this election was about the middle class – no it wasn't. This election was about we the people vs them. When you steal our bill of rights your income doesn't matter. Later, Sen Joni Ernst is leading the campaign against Pete Hegseth. So much of what's being said about Hegseth are lies. He'd be a great Secretary of Defense and that's why they want to stop him. We cannot allow a handful of Republican Senators to sabotage Hegseth's nomination. Finally, Daniel Penny has been treated unfairly, especially after the fact that he saved people on a subway train. New York City is not safe, and it's so bad that there are many people getting hurt, killed, robbed, and attacked. The state of the city is in ruin because of the crack-pot leadership which is the Democrat party.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
