On this episode of the South Carolina Lede for April 28, 2026: we're looking at two of the Republican candidates running for the party's nomination on June 9 and for the win in November, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and 5th District Congressman Ralph Norman; while we are in a full sprint to sine die, we wanted to look at these two candidates as we start rolling out our profiles on several statewide candidates; and more!

On Saturday evening, there was a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C. President Trump and members of his cabinet were rushed out of the room, and Trump later gave a surprisingly calm press conference. Authorities have a suspect in custody. Normally, security is extremely tight wherever the President goes, but several journalists reported that security at the event felt surprisingly lax. As politicians took to the Sunday shows to call for unity, internet gumshoes are speculating as to whether the shooting was staged. MSNOW Senior Washington Correspondent and former President of the White House Correspondents Association, Eugene Daniels, helps us make sense of it all.And in headlines, Trump backs out of negotiations with Iran in Pakistan, Republicans use the Correspondents' Dinner shooting to call for an end to the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, and the Department of Justice drops its investigation of former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which opens the door for Kevin Warsh to be named as his successor.Show Notes: Check out Eugene's podcast – https://tinyurl.com/2tfpp6jn Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

One of Donald Trump's few critics within his party is the libertarian-leaning senator Rand Paul, from Kentucky. Paul was recently the sole Republican to vote in favor of restricting the President's power to make war in Iran. He also opposed Trump on tariff policy, and on his budget bill in 2025. “He loves voting ‘NO' on everything,” the President fumed. Paul ran for President in 2016, and is considering another run for the White House in 2028. He talks with David Remnick about how he would differentiate himself from J. D. Vance and Marco Rubio; about his opposition to the attack on Iran; and about Pete Hegseth invoking Christianity in the war. “People quoting the Old Testament about smiting the enemy” concerns Paul greatly: “If this becomes Christians versus Muslims, I don't see a quick end to a war.” Further reading:  “The End of Limits on a President's Wars,” by Ruth Marcus “Why Rand Paul Ran Aground,” by Kelefa Sanneh The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Trump speaks with Norah O'Donnell in a broadcast exclusive about the experience and what it signals about the state of the country. O'Donnell meets Mr. Trump at the White House for an in-depth conversation. Former Senator Ben Sasse, a conservative Republican from Nebraska – and once among the most popular politicians in the state – speaks with correspondent Scott Pelley about his battle with pancreatic cancer and his hopes for what America can be.

Steve Schmidt returns to the "Daily Beast" podcast to unload a blistering critique of Donald Trump, King Charles III, and the global political order they’re reshaping, arguing the King’s U.S. visit is not just ill-timed, but a historic moral failure tied to Trump’s assaults on democracy and alliances. Speaking to Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty, Schmidt connects the dots from royal controversies and Jeffrey Epstein to Trump’s late-night social media tirades and questions about his mental fitness, warning of a dangerous erosion of institutional checks at the highest level of power. He predicts a political collapse for MAGA, a brutal electoral reckoning, and an internal unraveling fueled by conspiracy and infighting, while also torching both Republican complicity and Democratic weakness.

John and Mark are discussing whether the apparent third assassination attempt on President Trump at the dinner could boost his poll numbers. Bruce Blakeman's campaign for New York governor is gaining momentum, despite national polls showing Republicans trailing by four points ahead of the midterms.

New details emerge that the suspect's family was in contact with him before the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday. Mark analyzes what might have transpired. First Lady Melania Trump has responded after late-night host Jimmy Kimmel made an assassination joke about her and President Trump. The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues to impact global oil supplies, with China, Europe, and Iran among the most affected. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews pollster John McLaughlin. John and Mark are discussing whether the apparent third assassination attempt on President Trump at the dinner could boost his poll numbers. Bruce Blakeman's campaign for New York governor is gaining momentum, despite national polls showing Republicans trailing by four points ahead of the midterms.

Mark recaps the dramatic events involving the shooter at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, which unsettled the entire room and the media. Melania Trump may have been the first to notice the incident unfolding. Afterward, President Trump spoke with WOR's Sean Hannity, on the phone, who may have the most comprehensive coverage. The suspect's first court appearance is scheduled for today in Federal Court. Mark interviews NY Post journalist Michael Goodwin. Michael comments on the importance of current security measures at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and similar major events, emphasizing their necessity for future safety. He questions whether the backlash against President Trump over his decisions on the war in Iran is surprising, given that previous presidents were also pressured to address Iran's regime. Bruce Blakeman is seen as a strong contender for the New York governor's race. Lee Zeldin nearly won in 2022 due to Governor Hochul's missteps, but ultimately fell short. Michael believes Bruce Blakeman's visibility at events and on the streets will be crucial for his campaign's success.

Tucker Carlson, the right wing pundit and onetime Donald Trump diehard, now says he regrets supporting the President. Carlson apologized on his show for misleading his audiences and said he'll be tormented over that support for a long time. The comments mark a high-profile break between Trump and his former media ally, and they come amid growing divisions within the Republican party over Iran. New Yorker staff writer Jason Zengerle took a close look at Carlson's many iterations and reversals in his recent biography “Hated by All the Right People.” We talk to Zengerle about what Carlson's apparent change of heart signals about the future of Trump-era conservatism and get your reactions.

Guest Host Trae Crowder is joined by his friend and fellow standup comedian, Geoffrey Asmus! The two dig into the state of Trump's base, including Geoffrey's own MAGA dad showing signs of buyer's remorse, and why economic pain at the dinner table may finally be doing what years of political argument couldn't. They trade theories on why so many working-class voters remain Republican even when their actual policy views skew left and what it would take to build a real alternative.They also get into the comedy culture wars: the rise of right-wing adjacent comics, the Riyadh comedy festival, and explain the term "clapter.” Geoffrey and Trae also address the threat of artificial intelligence to creative work, Joe Rogan's bizarre evolution, the Kill Tony phenomenon, and how the manosphere targets young men hungry for acceptance and direction.LEARN more about Trae and see his standup! https://www.traecrowder.com/WATCH Geoffrey's standup special and see him on tour! https://www.whitecomedian.com/SUPPORT THE SHOW BY VISITING OUR SPONSORS:Save money on your insurance bills with SelectQuote!

The players are also the umpires — and that's why the game is broken. In this on-air conversation, Paul Rieckhoff lays out why the Virginia redistricting fight is a flashing red warning light for American democracy, not a win for either team. Republicans moved first in Texas. Democrats followed. And the 45% of Americans who now identify as independent are watching both parties gerrymander their way toward mutual annihilation while 10,000 voters a week walk away from the two-party system entirely. From there the conversation shifts to the Strait of Hormuz, where Trump's three stated objectives in Iran — regime change, securing enriched uranium, and reopening the strait — remain unmet while 41% of the Navy is tied up and gas prices climb toward four dollars a gallon. Paul closes with a story that should not get lost: the administration's reported plan to send Afghan allies, including 400 children, to the Congo. A betrayal of the people who had our troops' backs, and a warning shot to every future ally who might consider standing with us. Righteous anger, rigorous analysis, and a reminder that independent is an attitude. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Ditch your expensive carrier and support Independent Americans!

   It's a night I will never forget as Master of Ceremonies at the Clay County Republicans Lincoln-Reagan-Trump Day Dinner at Harrah's casino's ballroom in North Kansas City.     White House Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary Will Scharf was the guest speaker and after he gave a wonderful speech about his new found fame introducing all the executive orders and handing them to the President in the Oval Office, I sat down with him on stage for a  question and answer session.  It would be a mix of serious and fun questions... until his phone went off like a fire alarm.  The whole room could hear it and we all thought it was President Trump calling in to say hello to the crowd.  It was not.  It was just a moment after the assassination attempt in DC Saturday night and the next ten minutes would be simply remarkable for everyone in attendance.  Especially Will Scharf.  I have it all on tape and will play it for you.   Then, we go over the full Chiefs draft as it looks like they just crushed it.  They're clearly going in a new direction with the team.   And in our Final Final, NFL owners political contributions are very one sided... to Republicans.

What, exactly, is gerrymandering? Who invented it? Who perfected it? How did Democrats use it to minimize the Black vote? How are Republicans using it to minimize illegal immigrant influence?

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report On today's program: Donald Trump doesn't want to give a timeline for the war in Iran. "We we're in Vietnam 18 years...I've been doing this for six weeks" Pete Hegseth continues to whine about the lack of support from Europe for the U.S.'s pointless war. The State Department releases an official statement that states that the U.S. engaged in a war with Iran at the "request of Israel". Astead Herndon, editorial director at Vox, joins the program to discuss his new podcast, America, Actually, and recap the week's news. In the Fun Half: RFK, Jr. is caught manipulating medical studies during a senate hearing by a fellow Republican. RFK, Jr.'s data manipulation is never exemplified better than by his suggesting that trump has lowered drug prices by 600%. Dave Rubin is devastated by Virginia voting to gerrymander their state. Jillian Michaels issues an open call to people from the left to come on to her podcast for a debate and Sam accepts. Michael Knowles goes on a racist rant inspired by Ramy Youssef appearing alongside Elmo for Arabic heritage month. Somehow Knowles' impression of Elmo is far more offensive than his islamophobia. Donal Trump hosts a press conference where he claims to have had more people at his 2016 inauguration than attended Martin Luther King, Jr's March on Washington. After his rant he falls asleep for the rest of the press conference.

The latest news in the redistricting arms race between Republicans and Democrats saw voters narrowly approve a new map in Virginia that could advantage the Dems by up to four new seats. Although there's an injunction on that election, if it is certified, that would bring the total number of states with new district maps heading into the midterms up to seven. But Republicans may have more cards to play with a several seat advantage possible in Trump's home state of Florida. Stepping back, could the midterm results end up being a referendum on tactics rather than politics? USA TODAY Chief Political Correspondent Phillip M. Bailey joins The Excerpt to share his insights.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com. Episode transcript available here.

This week, the battle for House control shifts to Florida as Governor DeSantis calls a special session to counter a recent Virginia constitutional amendment that could give Democrats four additional seats. While Democrats eye ten potential seat gains across Virginia and Utah, Republicans are pushing for rapid redistricting changes to protect their own advantages held in states like Texas and Ohio. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to explain why this "one-upping" strategy is leaving both parties frustrated, and the courts scrambling to define what a "compact" district actually looks like.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4w7lcrl The episode focuses on the Federal Reserve as Jerome Powell's chair term approaches its May 15, 2026 end and President Trump's nominee, Kevin Warsh, nears confirmation. The main hurdle had been a DOJ criminal investigation into alleged cost overruns at the Fed building renovation, which Senator Thom Tillis and other Republicans cited as grounds to pause Walsh's nomination; the attorney general later dropped the criminal probe and referred the matter to the Fed inspector general, clearing the way for Senate Banking Committee action and a full Senate vote. Prediction markets and fed funds futures quickly repriced, with the probability of no rate cuts this year falling to about 62% and a meaningful chance of one cut remaining. David expects Warsh to argue oil is a supply shock outside monetary inflation, prioritize labor-market risks, and pair any rate cuts with tighter balance-sheet policy and reduced QE to improve price discovery and long-run market credibility. 00:00 Fed Returns to Spotlight 01:58 Powell Replacement Timeline 03:20 DOJ Probe and Senate Standoff 04:37 Investigation Dropped Breakthrough 06:52 Markets Reprice Rate Cuts 08:06 Forward Guidance and New Chair Uncertainty 10:43 Warsh Case for Cutting Rates 12:24 Balance Sheet Over Fed Funds 14:02 QE Exit and Fiscal Discipline 16:18 Market Credibility and Reform Hopes 18:18 Wrap Up and Next Week Preview Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Biased outlets like MSNOW, CNN, and others continue to ignore or downplay polls showing Republicans leading in key areas. Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz is under intense U.S. surveillance, with the Navy on high alert as tensions remain serious. Mayor Mamdani has taken shots at billionaire Ken Griffin over his push for the pied-à-terre tax. Critics argue that targeting wealth creators could backfire, since major investors often drive job creation and generate tax revenue that supports the city. Mark interviews John Carney, Breitbart Business News Editor. Mark and John dive into how Jeanine Pirro has dropped the criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, despite President Trump's concerns over alleged mismanagement and massive cost overruns tied to the $2.5 billion Federal Reserve renovation. Ken Griffin's planned Citadel headquarters in NYC, potentially a major job creator, now appears at risk, thanks to Mamdani's rhetoric. At the same time, retail spending in March came in strong, signaling continued consumer resilience despite economic uncertainty. The media continues to push the narrative that there was no clear plan in the conflict with Iran, but the Trump administration strongly disagrees and has defended its strategy. The president is still being pressed aggressively by reporters, including a questionable line of questioning yesterday about nuclear weapons that seemed more provocative than informative. Meanwhile, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and President Trump are clashing over ICE funding, with Trump rejecting Schumer's criticism and doubling down on enforcement. And yes, the $45 smoothie trend is real, and Mark breaks down why people are actually paying for it. Mark interviews Journalist Steve Cuozzo. He weighs in on Mamdani's $30 million government-run grocery store proposal, which critics see as costly and unrealistic. Steve also highlights the rapid rise of West Palm Beach, Florida—a booming hotspot attracting businesses and residents away from places like Manhattan. With its pro-business climate, modern development, and growing energy, South Florida is positioning itself as a serious competitor to traditional urban centers.

War Room POTUS Calls Out SPLC Fraud, Suggests 2020 Election Results Null & Void As House Republicans Open Investigation Into Democrat PAC ActBlue

FBI director Kash Patel has sued The Atlantic for $250 million. It comes after the magazine published an article alleging that Patel is frequently drunk on the job and that his security team has had difficulty waking him on multiple occasions. Still, The Atlantic isn't backing down, writing in a statement, “We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit.” But we've seen this move before, and it appears Kash is simply taking a page out of President Donald Trump's book. Trump himself has sued the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times for stories and polls he didn't like. To talk more about the litigious Trump administration, we spoke with Oliver Darcy. He's the founder of Status, a nightly newsletter focused on the media.And in headlines, Dr. Mehmet Oz says Trump's testosterone is top tier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recites Iran war talking points, and Republicans are losing at their own redistricting game.Show Notes: Check out Status – https://www.status.news/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Con Inc. is out blaming the Virginia loss on a lack of money and focus. Con Inc. is also upset that Republican states haven't been as aggressive in redistricting. But this all misses the point. The reason the GOP is losing is that Trump's image, messaging, and policies are toxic and conservatives are accomplishing nothing. And to the extent that there are problems with RINOs refusing to redistrict or a lack of funds from the RNC, that all gets back to the man they refuse to criticize. From the alienation of independent and suburban voters to the stark differences between how red and blue states wield their power, I dismantle the current state of the conservative movement and outline exactly why Republicans are bleeding political capital.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Republicans are running out of places to redraw the map, and Florida is quickly becoming their last real shot to claw back seats before the midterms. The pressure is now squarely on Ron DeSantis to deliver a map that could net a handful of gains, but even inside the party there is real disagreement about whether that is possible. The risk is not just that the effort fails, but that it backfires, turning carefully engineered districts into competitive ones if turnout does not break the right way.That is the core problem with aggressive redistricting at this stage. The more you try to maximize advantage by packing and slicing districts, the more you rely on your own voters showing up consistently. If they do not, those same districts can flip. That is why some Republicans are warning that what looks like a smart map on paper could end up being a “dummymander” in practice, especially in an environment where Democratic voters appear more motivated. In fact, this is starting to look risky, it might be more accurate to call this year's elections “dummyterms,” a phrase I'm committed to making stick come hell or high water.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

New mines in the Strait of Hormuz and an expanded U.S. naval response signal that this is no longer just posturing. It's a pressure campaign with real global stakes, especially given how much of the world's oil supply runs through that corridor. The situation is starting to look less like a slow escalation and more like a standoff that will force a decision sooner rather than later.What makes it even more unpredictable is the internal instability within Iran itself. Leadership shakeups, reports about the Supreme Leader's health and — seriously — facial disfigurement, and a broader power struggle all suggest that there is no single, unified voice making decisions. That kind of vacuum makes negotiation harder and escalation easier, because different factions may be pulling in different directions at the same time.The timeline here is being driven by economics as much as politics. With exports constrained and storage capacity nearing its limit, Iran will eventually have to decide whether to halt production or find another way around the blockade. Neither option is easy, and both come with significant costs. That's why this moment feels compressed, with pressure building toward some kind of near term resolution.Finally, a different kind of competition is playing out between the United States and China, this time over artificial intelligence. The Trump administration is accusing China-backed actors of effectively copying American AI systems by extracting outputs and using them to train rival models. It is a technical fight, but the implications are strategic, especially if it allows competitors to replicate advanced systems without the same investment or safeguards.That accusation fits into a broader pattern of technological rivalry, where innovation, security, and economic advantage are all intertwined. If these claims are accurate, it raises serious questions about how U.S. companies can protect their models and whether current safeguards are enough. With a high stakes meeting between Trump and Xi on the horizon, this issue is likely to become part of a much larger negotiation over trade, security, and global influence.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:16 - Gabe Fleisher on the White House Press Corps and the Supreme Court00:22:41 - Redistricting Fights00:27:31 - Iran00:33:14 - China and AI00:36:29 - Gabe Fleisher on the Permanence of the Trump Administration01:08:56 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

Fox News poll out today shows that for the first time since 2010, voters trust Democrats more than Republicans on the economy. How could that be? Easy…Trump is how that could be…he messed up the economy all by himself. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Fox Across America, guest host Paul Mauro gives his analysis on what the Department of Justice revealed in its indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center. Former Acting ICE Director Jonathan Fahey explains why he's very skeptical about the legality of Virginia's recently passed redistricting measure. Attorney and Adjunct Professor at Fordham Law School Eric Seidel weighs in on how the SPLC allegedly drummed up racial hoaxes by funding them. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman tells Paul how New York Governor Kathy Hochul has been wasting taxpayer dollars on programs that do not improve people's lives. Former GOP National Spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko sheds light on how the Democrats have opened up pandora's box with their redistricting win in Virginia, as states like Florida could soon follow suit and give Republicans more House seats. PLUS, New York Post financial correspondent Lydia Moynihan checks in to preview what we can expect from President Trump's long-awaited return to the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the Democrat Party sides with Iran and terrorists, including Hamas and Hezbollah. Sen Chris Murphy posted “awesome” upon reading a false report that 28 Iranian ships had escaped a U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. Sen Chuck Schumer embraces candidates like Abdul El-Said in Michigan, who compares Israel to Hamas and campaigns with Hasan Piker. Americans will not tolerate elected officials rooting for the enemy. Also, President Trump has excommunicated the Woke Reich, like Tucker Carlson, who is finished. His erraticism, extremism, and long list of isms, and his public decline and unraveling, have been career and influence killing. Later, the U.S. is taking a wait and see approach toward Iran, due to the regime's divided leadership and lack of a single negotiating voice. A divided regime creates the ideal precondition for collapse, so the U.S. should actively assist this by using all tools available to force its collapse and arm the courageous Iranian people. Afterward, Rep Chip Roy calls in and announces the MAMDANI Act of 2026 (Measures Against Marxism's Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists), which enacts sweeping immigration law changes to deport, denaturalize, deny U.S. citizenship, or bar entry to any alien who is a member of a socialist, communist, Chinese Communist Party, or Islamic fundamentalist party, or who advocates for socialism, communism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism. The U.S. has no obligation to admit aliens seeking to undermine the Constitution or promote ideologies opposed to American values.  Finally, Democrats in Virginia just voted to redraw congressional districts in a way that dismantles Republican strongholds, an action led by Gov Abigail Spanberger, who campaigned as a moderate and specifically promised not to alter redistricting. This is the worst gerrymandering in American history, especially in a purple state like Virginia. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

INCOGNI Deal: To get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan, go to https://incogni.com/beast #ad Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles examine the looming post-Trump power vacuum, mapping out a chaotic and deeply personal succession battle as Donald Trump edges toward lame-duck status and a Republican party already turning on itself. From a flailing JD Vance to an ill-fitting Marco Rubio, a wildcard Tucker Carlson, and the unpredictable rise of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., they unpack a Republican field defined less by ideology than by ego, media power, and proximity to Trump himself. As rival factions circle, alliances fracture, and even loyalists like Marjorie Taylor Greene begin to reposition, Wolff reveals a darker dynamic driving it all: Trump may ultimately sabotage any successor to preserve his own dominance, setting the stage for a brutal, zero-sum fight for the MAGA base where loyalty is fleeting, ambition is naked, and the future of the party hinges on who can survive Trump—while still needing him.

Tucker Carlson admits he is tormented for helping elect Trump, while Megyn Kelly claims only Fox News Boomers still support him, as both have turned sharply anti-Trump following Operation Epic Fury in Iran. Republicans overwhelmingly back Trump with 83% supporting the operation, per a J.L. Partners poll. The strike has exposed deep fractures in conservative media, yet has delivered major successes, including destruction of Iranian missile capabilities, regime change, and the Iranian Navy DESTROYED.

While Orban's gang of Kremlin-paid criminals burn proof of their crimes, the new leadership in Hungary goes after their propaganda machine and GOP allies who used Hungarian taxpayer money to fund CPAC. This is against U.S. law. If America had a real DOJ and functional Congress, all Republican officials would be investigated for being foreign agents of Hungary and therefore Russia.  "Foreign governments are barred from spending money in American elections, and Americans are forbidden from soliciting or accepting it," wrote Rep. Mike Levin on Twitter (we will never call it X). "If these allegations are true, this is a direct attack on the integrity of American democracy…The American people deserve to know exactly what flowed from Orban's government into this country's political ecosystem, who was on the receiving end, and what it bought." As Gaslit Nation has long warned, Orban's regime was funneling money and instructions from Russia to MAGA world. The RussiaGate transnational crime network never stopped. The crime spree continues and has only grown stronger. We told you so!.  In this week's Gaslit Nation, we're re-running our interview with Peter Hidas, who as a young student helped ignite the 1956 Hungarian Uprising. Peter's story is a testament to what ordinary people can do when they refuse to bow to tyranny. The revolts that shook the Iron Curtain in 1956 laid the groundwork for the movements that would one day bring down the Soviet empire.  This week's bonus show, available to subscribers at the Truther-teller ($5/month) and higher, will look at the latest in U.S. politics, including the Virginia election results, and where we need to keep the pressure on.

Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Crickets from Iran Clay Travis and Buck Sexton outline the administration’s next steps as Vice President JD Vance prepares for a high‑stakes diplomatic mission to Pakistan for renewed negotiations with Iran. The hosts analyze President Trump’s morning comments on CNBC, where he stressed American control over the Strait of Hormuz, refused to extend the current ceasefire deadline, and warned that military action could resume if negotiations stall. The conversation explores whether the U.S. naval blockade is truly succeeding, how Iran is attempting to leverage ceasefire optics, and why negotiations with the Iranian regime are notoriously difficult due to deception, internal power struggles, and the lack of a clear decision‑maker within Tehran’s leadership. Clay and Buck also discuss the absence of any visible popular uprising inside Iran despite heavy military pressure, questioning assumptions about regime collapse and examining whether economic pressure, prolonged embargoes, or stronger military escalation would be required to force real change. Spilling the SCOTUS Tea An in‑depth conversation with journalist and Federalist editor‑in‑chief Mollie Hemingway, discussing her new book Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution. Hemingway addresses speculation around potential Supreme Court retirements, explaining why Justice Samuel Alito is unlikely to step down soon while also noting that multiple Republican‑appointed justices are now in their 70s. She explores Alito’s judicial legacy, originalist philosophy, and long‑term focus on religious liberty, including his interest in revisiting key precedent such as Employment Division v. Smith. The discussion also touches on internal Court tensions, Chief Justice John Roberts’ struggles to maintain institutional norms, and the breakdown of collegiality among justices. A major portion of the interview is devoted to exclusive reporting on the Dobbs leak, which overturned Roe v. Wade. Hemingway details how the leak endangered justices and their families, revealing that conservative justices faced sustained assassination threats while liberal justices allegedly delayed their dissent for weeks. She outlines failures in the Supreme Court’s internal investigation, explains why the leaker was likely a clerk or court staffer rather than a justice, and connects the episode to ongoing concerns about politically motivated leaks, slow‑walked opinions, and public attacks on the legitimacy of the Court. Hemingway also weighs in on pending Supreme Court cases, including racial gerrymandering and birthright citizenship, and offers insight into Justice Alito’s continued influence on major decisions. The segment closes with candid discussion of how Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is viewed internally, with critiques of her jurisprudence and legal reasoning. Don't Wear a Bikini on the Job An interview with Michele Tafoya, former NFL broadcaster and Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota. Tafoya discusses her record‑setting fundraising numbers, grassroots momentum, and why Minnesota represents one of the most important potential Senate flips in the upcoming midterms. She explains that voter anger in Minnesota is driven by government fraud, lack of accountability for Democratic leadership, rising crime, failing schools, and embarrassment over national perception of the state. Tafoya strongly criticizes Governor Tim Walz, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, and Attorney General Keith Ellison, accusing them of avoiding accountability and pushing divisive policies. She highlights education failures, controversial ethnic studies curricula, and declining academic performance as key local issues. The conversation also focuses heavily on women’s sports, parental rights, and opposition to biological males competing in girls’ athletics—an issue Tafoya says continues to resonate deeply with parents across Minnesota. She frames the Senate race as both a Minnesota‑specific accountability fight and a nationally consequential election that could solidify Republican control of the U.S. Senate. Kamala: Imma Get Mine Clay and Buck report that Democratic Representative Sheila Cherfilus‑McCormick of Florida has resigned from Congress after being found guilty of numerous House ethics violations and facing federal charges related to the alleged misuse of FEMA funds. The hosts explain why this resignation matters nationally, given the narrow margins in the House and multiple recent resignations, and what it could mean for upcoming special elections. The hour also continues real‑time monitoring of U.S.–Iran diplomacy, with fresh reporting that Vice President JD Vance still has not departed for Pakistan, increasingly suggesting that any negotiations may shift to secure video calls instead of in‑person talks. The conversation then pivots to the 2028 Democratic presidential field, with a heavy focus on Kamala Harris and the likelihood of her running for president again. Clay and Buck analyze Harris’s early messaging, particularly her emphasis on identity politics and appeals to Black women as the “backbone” of the Democratic Party. The hosts argue that Harris’s strategy will center on framing herself as the rightful nominee based on race and gender, portraying resistance as discriminatory, and blaming her previous loss on being handed an impossible situation with only 107 days to campaign. They debate whether Democratic Party leadership can realistically stop Harris from winning the nomination, discussing the lack of competing candidates who could effectively challenge her base of support and how the Democratic primary calendar could determine the outcome.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, it's a huge mistake if a possible U.S. offer includes a 10-year moratorium on Iranian uranium enrichment. If true, President Trump should walk away from these terms. We should just finish of the Iranian regime right now because we'll never have this opportunity again.  Also, members of Congress and others are now openly campaigning with Nazis, jihadists, and Marxists which should concern everyone. Democrats like Rep Ro Khanna, who align with figures like Hassan Piker, stand with Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah. This reflects a broader Democrat alignment against America and Israel.  Meanwhile, Khanna achieved a 143% return on Nvidia stock purchased by his wife through a family trust worth tens of millions. The timing coincided with the federal CHIPS Act, which more than doubled Nvidia's share price. There should be a criminal investigation and House Ethics Committee review on this. Later, Alan Dershowitz calls in and announces that he's becoming a Republican because the Democratic Party has become the most anti-Israel party in U.S. history, with some extremists veering toward anti-Semitism. Dershowitz says he is determined to do everything possible to prevent Democrats from gaining control of the House, Senate, or presidency in three years.  Finally, Republicans in Virginia need to get out and vote no for redistricting. Failure to turn out will result in losing your congressional voice, with national implications for control of the House, as Democrats seek to choose representatives for Republicans nationwide.
