Angus King, the U.S. Senator from Maine (and former quarterback), is neither a Democrat nor a Republican. So we should listen very closely as he takes PTFO inside what he deems an unprecedented constitutional crisis — from tariffs and mass deportations to trans athletes and DOGE — by way of the ancient Romans, a vegetable slicer and Bill Belichick. And he explains exactly why his colleagues in Congress must stop handing their power to Donald Trump... before it's too late. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Either Trump ignores the courts, or his presidency will end in failure. It's that simple. Today, I go through a litany of immigration cases to show how far the Overton window has moved in the courts. So even if the Supreme Court magnanimously walks back a few of the rulings, we will still be playing behind par. Also, once again, the Supreme Court appears to be ready to overturn the conservative Fifth Circuit on a health care case, but not overturn liberal circuits. Finally, I discuss the lack of a plan to fortify red states against the hell that is coming our way. RINOs are blocking everything DeSantis wants to do in that regard. Relatedly, I discuss how marijuana is destroying everything in its path and how it's disgusting that most Republicans refuse to block it in red states. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Tim Graham, executive editor of NewsBusters and host of the NewsBusters Podcast, joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to break down the corporate media's latest round of lies and deception and analyze how the propaganda press' strategy will change after the Trump era.If you care about combating the corrupt media that continue to inflict devastating damage, please give a gift to help The Federalist do the real journalism America needs.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Nadine Menendez's conviction in the same egregious corruption scandal that will soon send her husband, former New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, to prison. They also cover new reports of a Chinese-linked company aiding the Houthis in targeting U.S. ships, and House Republicans pressing the Justice Department to prosecute former Gov. Andrew Cuomo for lying to Congress about his COVID-era nursing home cover-up.First, they're pleased to see Nadine Menendez found guilty on all 15 counts tied to a bribery scheme involving her husband, the Egyptian government, and over $100,000 in gold bars, cash, and other luxury gifts. Now Mr. and Mrs. Menendez have matching bracelets. Jim blasts the media for largely ignoring the case—arguing that if Bob Menendez were a Republican, this scandal would dominate headlines daily. They also wonder whether Bob Menendez's begging for a pardon will actually convince President Trump to give him one.Next, they react to alarming reports that a Chinese government-linked company is assisting the Iran-backed Houthis in targeting U.S. warships and other American vessels in the Red Sea. Jim calls it another front in a proxy war with China and was forced to find foreign press accounts to evaluate the effectiveness of recent U.S. airstrikes.Finally, they look at House Republicans urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to charge Andrew Cuomo with lying under oath. Despite this and a $450,000 taxpayer-funded settlement to a sexual harassment victim, Cuomo continues to lead the NYC mayoral race by a wide margin.Please visit our great sponsors:Cut through political bias with Ground News's Vantage Plan—visit https://GroundNews.com/MARTINI to get 40% off for a limited time!Streamline and scale your customer communications with OpenPhone.

Pope Francis passed away from a stroke Monday morning at the Vatican at the age of 88 years old, his last public appearance being on Easter Sunday at St. Peter's Square. Around the globe, Catholics now mourn the death of Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff, who leaves behind a legacy of humility and unity. Theologian and FOX News contributor Jonathan Morris joins the Rundown to reflect on how history will remember Pope Francis, his impact on the Catholic Church, and the conclave soon to take place.  President Donald Trump continues to face more and more resistance from Democrats, over three months after returning to office. Several blue states have challenged some of the president's actions in court, yet they face an uphill battle in Congress, where Republicans hold the majority. Democrats don't have the votes to block Republicans from passing a massive budget bill that cannot be filibustered in the Senate. Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) joins the Rundown to discuss the budget battle, controversial deportations, and the passing of Pope Francis.

From New York to South Carolina, a pattern emerges: political elites manipulating systems to protect allies and punish dissenters. In New York, Attorney General Letitia James faces allegations of mortgage fraud while prosecuting Trump for similar conduct—highlighting a two-tier justice system. Meanwhile, in South Carolina, Treasurer Curtis Loftis is under fire for an accounting error he didn't cause, targeted by liberal-leaning Republicans desperate to control the state's finances. Together, these stories expose deep-rooted corruption, weaponized politics, and the erosion of accountability in both state and national arenas.

A fiery look into the political battle unfolding in South Carolina as State Treasurer Curtis Loftis faces potential removal. Despite not being responsible for the $1.8 billion accounting error, Loftis—one of the last true conservatives in Columbia—is being targeted by a legislature overrun by liberals disguised as Republicans. This episode explores Trump's controversial endorsements, the GOP's war on its own right wing, and the deeper corruption behind the effort to silence fiscal accountability in state government.

After Pope Francis' death, debates begin over his successor. Pete Hegseth lashes out at new reporting. Democrats are lining up to defend Kilmar Abrego Garcia, despite immigration politics traditionally favoring Republicans. Earth Day. Southern California mayor says he wants to ‘purge' homeless population by giving them ‘all the fentanyl they want'. 

In this week's episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Brian Kennedy, a senior researcher at the Pew Research Center. Kennedy focuses on science and society research, studying public attitudes, knowledge, and beliefs about science—including energy and environmental issues. Kennedy and a coauthor released survey results about US public opinion on climate change and related issues at the end of 2024. Kennedy discusses how the survey was conducted and shares his insights on the survey's findings, such as differences in public attitudes toward the clean energy transition; how partisanship is a powerful predictor of views on climate change, climate policy, and even perceptions of extreme weather events; and points of overlap at which Democrats and Republicans share support for certain climate and environmental policies and objectives.

Since Donald Trump's decisive victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, the Democratic Party has been in a period of intense introspection and reorganization. The loss has prompted party leaders, strategists, and supporters to reassess their messaging, leadership, and long-term strategy. Amid this shake-up, prominent political analyst and pollster Nate Silver has suggested that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could emerge as the new face of the Democratic Party. Silver points to her national recognition, progressive platform, and strong appeal among younger and more diverse voters as indicators that she could be a formidable frontrunner in the 2028 presidential race. What a terrifying thought.  Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Links:https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODDhttps://mystore.com/toddhttps://soltea.com - Promo Code TODD for $29.95 off your first orderEaston University - https://www.eastonuniversity.comkenaifish.com - Promo Code TODD to save 15%

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has officially vetoed State Senate Bill 1164, a controversial piece of legislation that had sparked debate across party lines. In conjunction with the veto, Hobbs sent a formal letter to the state legislature outlining her reasons for rejecting the bill. In her statement, the governor emphasized concerns about the bill's potential impact on state resources and questioned whether it aligned with Arizona's long-term policy goals.Meanwhile, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin made headlines after a heated exchange with a reporter who claimed there is "zero evidence" of waste, fraud, and abuse within the Environmental Protection Agency. Zeldin pushed back firmly, citing internal audits and recent oversight reports that suggest otherwise.  Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Links:https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODDhttps://mystore.com/toddhttps://soltea.com - Promo Code TODD for $29.95 off your first orderEaston University - https://www.eastonuniversity.comkenaifish.com - Promo Code TODD to save 15%

A judge on Monday refused to reduce the multimillion-dollar bond for the 17-year-old accused of shooting at least four people at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas last week. Tracy Haynes Jr. is being held in Dallas County jail, facing six charges of aggravated assault mass shooting. In other news, many Dallas residents have been fighting for years for the right to clean water and air, more green spaces, less pollution and the removal of industrial warehouses near residential neighborhoods. Residents and environmental advocates hope to find allies to tackle the issues among the new Dallas City Council that will be elected in the May 3 election; potholes, sidewalks and parks don't have political affiliations, and because of that, city elections are historically nonpartisan. There are no primaries for Democrats or Republicans. But they are leaning more left and right as the May 3 election nears; and Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Vatican camerlengo and a former bishop of the Dallas Catholic Diocese, announced the death of Pope Francis early Monday. While he holds administrative authority during the transitional period, he does not make significant decisions on doctrine or church policy. His role is to maintain order and uphold the sacred traditions of the papacy until a new pope is chosen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Heritage Foundation's "blueprint" for a new Republican administration got a lot of attention during the 2024 presidential campaign. While candidate Donald Trump said he "had never read" the document, President Trump has incorporated many of its policies, and authors, into his administration's first 100 days.

Republican senators could have insisted on someone who was even minimally competent to run our military, but because of their spinelessness, we've now got a SecDef who can't resist texting top secret war plans.

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.

This weekend, we celebrated the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride. Our Founders fought the mightiest military power at the time over a fraction of the tyranny we face from black-robed judges who have no power whatsoever to rule over the other branches. We're joined by legal expert Josh Hammer to delve into the unprecedented Supreme Court ruling over the weekend demanding that Trump halt removals under the Alien Enemies Act. Josh breaks down the procedural history to show how this is not a lower-court problem, but a Supreme Court problem. Once again, SCOTUS will not save us; it is part of the problem. He also explains the rationale for his new endeavor at the Article III Project, which seeks to rectify the mistakes of the Republican judicial selection mentality of the past. He offers three criteria he is looking for in Trump judicial nominees. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Again, that’s businessmakers.network. Why is the soundtrack Epic which is about Homer’s Odyssey, suddenly so popular? Our writer Clarissa Alexandria created an article about this, and we can see that there are a few different reasons that could explain Epic's success, varying from the soundtrack’s content to its audience. For example, the music itself is good and fits the story, but that’s not the only thing. It also seems like the soundtrack has become popular for both what it is saying and to whom it is saying those things to. Epic centers around the story of the Odyssey, which deals with story themes that easily resonate in our world, as our writer Clarissa Alexandria points out: "It follows themes of exile, temptation, descent, and eventual renewal that should feel familiar to anyone who has studied the Scriptures or consumed a good story of any variety in their life." (https://www.crosspoliticnews.com/news/an-epic-alternative-to-woke-hollywood) Our broken culture relates to these themes because they understand the journey of Odysseus. His character lives through their own problems and experience, so people gravitate towards his story. For example, they understand his longing for home, because so many people feel the lack of real, good homes in our world. And yet while this cultural tie is strong, Epic also contains themes that are found in the Bible, which is also why these stories are so effective. After all, they align with how God designed the world. Meanwhile, on a different note, our reporter Justin Chartray wrote about how the State of Washington is having trouble trying to figure out how to deal with its taxes because while the liberals want to raise taxes, they are meeting opposition from the governor, even though he’s also a liberal. So, what’s going on in Washington State? Well, we can see that it has been very liberal recently in respect to their recent recognition of Muslim holidays, their attack on gun rights, and their unlawful orders against parental rights, but, as I just mentioned, its government can’t decide what to do with taxes yet. One of the reasons this tax issue is important is because Washington State needs a $12-15 billion deficit in order to uphold its current programs and bureaucracy. In order to pay for all this, Republicans want the state to withdraw from areas that the government should not concern itself with, such as education and immigration. Unsurprisingly, the democrats don’t want to lower the budget this way, though. Instead, they would prefer increasing everyone’s taxes, specifically targeting property taxes and rich people. With these property taxes, Washington State's government would want to keep changing the amount of taxes in order to match the growth of society and other outside conditions. But there’s a problem here. If the amount of taxes changes continually because it is dependent on variables that frequently change, then there is no truly objective wall or limit that could stop its government from demanding very heavy taxes. Nevertheless, these increased taxes would seem to meet the $15 billion budget deficit, but it would be through taxing people uninvolved with that deficit. However, while most of the liberals in power seem eager to adopt this strategy, the newest governor of Washington, Bob Ferguson, has rejected this plan. It appears that he doesn’t want to raise taxes to make the money they need. Despite his previous liberal actions, such as trying to sue the presidency of Trump almost a hundred times during Trump’s first time in office, Governor Ferguson is actually making a more Republican decision right now by rejecting these increased taxes. Did he change political parties? Our journalist Justin Chartray doesn’t think so: "No, Bob Ferguson has not become a conservative overnight. What he may represent is a rare callback to the previous generation of liberals; socially progressive but fiscally conservative. A dinosaur. A relic. A man woefully out of step with his progressive comrades and now, a fly in the ointment for their unending lust of the rich man’s gold." (https://www.crosspoliticnews.com/news/division-at-the-top) So, even though Ferguson isn’t a Republican or Conservative, he is still making a solid leadership move that serves the citizens of Washington State, who now have the opportunity to fight back against these unjust laws. We should pray that he continues this.

After a weekend of headlines, the White House faced new questions about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and at least one Republican is now calling on him to resign. Some of this is related to Hegseth’s use of the Signal messaging app to text operational details of military action. But as Lisa Desjardins reports, that is not the only issue.

[Ep 25-159] President Trump gave the media and other Leftists the documents on Crossfire Hurricane, and not a single “journalist” has mentioned the lies. He released the JFK files, and nothing. He's now released the covid leak story, and again nothing. BTW, covid wasn't leaked, it was intentionally released by the Chinese with the knowledge of the uniparty to stop Donald Trump's rightful second term. I used to be mad about this, but God made it right.We have so much to discuss and it all the same things. Each week Democrats get closer to their demise, if we can just get Republicans to act.

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, with approval ratings for Republicans and Democrats alike in the gutter in Colorado and across the country, Democrats have one ally in the fight to bring their numbers back up...and you'll never guess who it is. Then, we've got great news! Wait, sorry, we mean, we've got terrible news! The constitutional crisis is here; it's obvious, it's permeating everything, and we're just as freaked out about it as you are. Next, we check in on some developments in the 2026 campaign even though we know it's only 2025. And finally we have an update on the Colorado legislature: With just three weeks left to go, how are trifecta Democrats protecting you, us, and Colorado from the evils of Trump, DOGE, and whatever other new horrors await us?
