The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Trump and the Republicans appear to be headed toward the adoption of Keynesian, if not socialist, economic policies. The Republican Congress and Trump seem perfectly in step with Keynes' disastrous recipe for economic improvement: “spend, spend, spend.” On the socialist side, Trump is very active in buying equity in...

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, what counts as merch, and what counts as a campaign donation, and does it even matter if you're a doomed Republican running for governor of colorado? Yeah, we'd say so. That, and we cover Victor Marx's peculiar pick for his running mate at the top. Then, pop quiz, is The Red Flame of Liberty affixed to a certain statue on Ellis Island, the discarded name of our patriotic hardcore punk band, or the newly-minted Republican nominee for Colorado secretary of state? And if it's the last one, is that the least strange thing about him? Next, the President of the United States is 0 for 20 on trying to get the voter rolls out of states, including Colorado, and School District of the Pod goes to court to protect trans kids; they must listen to the podcast outro. And finally, we check in on some historical polling data and some current concerns over data centers. That's it for this episode! If you loved watching and/or listening to it as much as we loved recording it, you can thank us by subscribing to the pod wherever you listen, following us over on New Old Twitter AKA Bluesky, subscribing to our shiny new channel on YouTube, smashing that subscribe button on our Substack, and sharing this episode with your friends, your enemies, and your 8th favorite Member of Congress from Colorado! THANK YOU so much for listening, and we'll see you next time!

As Christian nationalism tightens its grip on the nation's politics, a new crop of progressive candidates is putting faith front and center. From James Talarico to Abdul El-Sayed, the religious left is making a more explicit play for political power (and challenging the idea that Republicans get to own God). Can religious progressives provide an effective counterweight to Christian nationalism, or are we just inviting more religion into a political system that could use a lot less of it? Also on the show: Christians find God on both sides of the fight over massive AI data centers; Florida's attorney general picks a fight with Catholic schools over vaccine exemptions; the Arizona Supreme Court hands the Mormon Church a win in a horrific child-abuse case; anti-Muslim opposition to a proposed mosque lands an Oklahoma city in court; new data reveals just how differently Mormons practice their religion around the world; and Texas' mandatory Ten Commandments displays face a new legal challenge.

Wisconsin Democrats narrowly chose Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley over Democratic Socialist state representative Francesca Hong in the gubernatorial primary, 39.8 percent to 39.4 percent. It's close enough that this might be headed to a recount, but it doesn't appear that Hong won. Crowley, who was endorsed by Governor Tony Evers, will face Trump-endorsed Republican representative Tom Tiffany. The result halted the progressive left's recent primary momentum, but it still showed its strength in a battleground state.What you're probably going to hear about is the polling. After the polls wildly overestimated Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, the final State Navigate poll had Hong at 44 percent and Crowley at 22 percent — a 22-point Hong lead. Instead, Crowley won by 0.4 percent. That's a 22.4-point miss on the margin. Jeez Louise. Hong's vote share wasn't wildly off; the poll totally underestimated Crowley. The question is why these polls keep overrepresenting progressive-leaning voters.One theory is that more polls are using online surveys. The old problem with landline calls was that they overrepresented boomers because nobody under 60 had a landline. Nobody answers an unfamiliar number on a cellphone, so that leaves online responses, which might overrepresent progressives. It's also worth noting that the DSA endorsed Hong, but Bernie Sanders and AOC didn't. Pure DSA play isn't good enough to get you over the hump, even in a Democratic primary. Bernie and AOC provide some wiggle room away from the DSA's baggage.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Flanagan overcame a major spending disadvantage after attacking Craig's immigration record, particularly her 2025 vote expanding ICE authority. Republicans nominated former NFL reporter Michele Tafoya, but barring huge changes in the race, Flanagan is going to be Minnesota's next senator. In the governor's race, Amy Klobuchar easily secured the Democratic nomination, while state House speaker Lisa Demuth defeated Trump-backed My Pillow founder Mike Lindell. Please raise your combs in celebration.South Carolina's emergency election to replace Lindsey Graham is headed to an August 25 runoff between interim senator Darlene Graham and Representative Ralph Norman. Graham, Lindsey's sister and Trump's endorsed candidate, finished first with 32.7 percent. Norman took the second spot with 24.6 percent, narrowly eliminating Representative Russell Fry. The vote was pretty split, and I don't know whether Darlene has the juice to keep Norman off. A lot of Republicans were already angry that she decided to seek the seat permanently instead of serving as a placeholder. Ralph Norman has a real shot. The kiss of death for Darlene would be the double endorsement — a double Trump endorsement.Former Hartford mayor Luke Bronin also defeated 14-term Democratic representative John Larson, 54 percent to 33 percent. Larson, 78, became the seventh House Democrat defeated in a primary this cycle, while Governor Ned Lamont won renomination. In Alabama, Trump-endorsed Republican Rhett Marques advanced to face Democratic representative Shomari Figures in the redrawn Second District, where the Black voting-age population was reduced from 48 percent to 40 percent.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:05:42 - Tuesday Primary Results00:16:18 - Exploring Disney's America with Andrew Heaton01:19:36 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Looks like Dr. Phil is going to be Ernie Pyle of the Greenland invasion? Then, the anti-data center Butlerian Jihad has spread to Mark's home county amidst the impending use of eminent domain to build transmission lines, which is important so the economy can support the vital AI-dogs-making-podcasts sector. After that, a lot of Republicans seem to be determined to lose very winnable elections just so Trump can declare them fraudulent.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Erick breaks down a wild primary night: Democratic socialist Francesca Hong loses Wisconsin after Governor Tony Evers talked David Crowley back into the race, the polls badly oversampled white progressives, and Mike Lindell gets crushed in Minnesota's GOP governor primary. Then he warns Republicans that college-educated suburban voters are the new turnout machine, that Ken […]

Mark gives us the details on today's solar eclipse. Nassau County Executive and Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman is climbing up the polls, but Kathy Hochul has a lot more money on hand for her campaign. Knicks owner James Dolan is spending over a million dollars on ads against Kathy Hochul, which could help Bruce Blakeman. Mark explains the way ad revenue works for radio stations and the digital side of it. There may be a plea deal coming for Luigi Mangione's case. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Ann explains the culture as she is in London right now, but it's a little different with the freedom that you have to express yourself, like in the USA. Many in the Asian community are very progressive, which has surprised Mark and Ann. Ann explains how college may not be the only route to a successful career and life.

Gov. Ned Lamont, who is running for a third term, defeated Democratic state Rep. Josh Elliott in the gubernatorial primary race. Mark runs down the primary election results, highlighting Amy Klobuchar, Francesca Hong, and Lindsey Graham's sister barely winning in South Carolina. Hillary Clinton is back out there speaking about political situations, but is she still relevant? Mark explains a possible problem President Trump may have after all his accomplishments in his life. Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth wins the GOP gubernatorial primary and will face Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar in November. Luigi Mangione's trial is today, with many of his fans and several news organizations trying to get into the courtroom. Mark explains Trump's new strategy to take on the war in Iran. Mark Zuckerberg has defended the crew of his $300 million superyacht, which is under scrutiny after accusations about an incident with a snubbed boat. My Pillow founder Mike Lindell didn't spend too much on his campaign, and he claims he will investigate more about what he lost, which may not be a good idea, according to Mark. Mark interviews Roger Friedman from Showbiz 411. Mark and Roger talk about Carly Simon's song, “You're So Vain.” How are other older artists doing, and can they still perform nowadays? Roger and Mark discuss this. Roger thinks many performers will keep going until they can't anymore. ATG Entertainment has been acquired by Ari Emanuel's company, TKO Group Holdings, in a $5 billion deal. The Odyssey will most likely win every Oscar as it approaches $500 million in sales.

A federal watchdog says some guidelines meant to improve the response to Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) are falling short of federal requirements. That is according to an audit from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)'s Office of Inspector General. The watchdog reviewed guidelines from 49 U.S. Attorneys' districts developed under Savanna's Act. The law was passed in 2020 to improve coordination between tribal, federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies responding to MMIP cases. The Inspector General found guidelines from 10 of the 49 districts did not fully meet requirements under the law. Seven were missing at least one of six required sections, while eight were not adequately tailored to circumstances within their individual districts. The audit also found staffing shortages within the DOJ's MMIP Regional Outreach Program. As of February, four of the program's 10 positions were vacant. The Inspector General says vacancies and staff turnover have slowed the program's progress. The office made three recommendations, including addressing staffing shortages and bringing district guidelines into compliance. The Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys agreed with all three. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan addresses her supporters during her Primary Night party. (Courtesy Peggy Flanagan / Facebook) Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Nation/D-MN) has won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. The Associated Press called the race for Flanagan Tuesday night. She defeated U.S. Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) in the Democratic-Farmer-Labor primary. The win puts Flanagan one step closer to making history. If elected in November, she would become the first Native American woman to serve in the U.S. Senate. Flanagan has served as Minnesota's lieutenant governor since 2019 and is the highest-ranking Native woman elected to executive office in the U.S. During her campaign, Flanagan focused on issues including health care and affordability. She also campaigned against corporate influence in politics. Peggy Flanagan’s note to her supporters. (Courtesy Peggy Flanagan / Facebook) She is running for the seat held by U.S. Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN), who is not seeking reelection. Flanagan will face Republican Michele Tafoya in the November general election. The Associated Press called that primary for the former NFL sideline reporter in a crowded Republican race. The Clean Air Act requires uranium waste storage pits at the White Mesa mill near Blanding, Utah, to be covered in water to control radon gas. (Photos: Dom Smith / EcoFlight) Congressional Democrats have opened an investigation into a uranium mining company for alleged insider trading. KNAU's Chris Clements has more. Energy Fuels Resources CEO Ross Bhappu bought 74,000 shares of stock in his own company on July 7. Chairman of the board Burce Hansen bought 4,000 shares on July 8. Five days after that, President Donald Trump announced a 90% cut to Bears Ears National Monument. That timing is suspicious, says two Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee. U.S. Reps. Jared Huffman (D-CA) and Maxine Dexter (D-OR) allege the Trump administration may have tipped the company off about the reduction before it happened. The company owns the only conventional uranium mill in the U.S., and there is a lot of uranium underneath Bears Ears – which is now free from a moratorium on new mining claims. The congressmembers say the company stood to benefit from the Bears Ears reduction, but in an emailed statement to KNAU, Energy Fuels denied the allegations and said it was unaware of any evidence supporting the representatives' claims.

Democrat Amy Klobuchar and Republican Lisa Demuth will compete to be Minnesota's next governor. Either would make history as the state's first woman leader. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan won a decisive victory in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate. Flanagan defeated U.S. Rep. Angie Craig. The margin of victory was much wider than many expected in a race where Flanagan was vastly outspent.At her victory party at First Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, Flanagan turned her gaze toward her November opponent, former sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya, who won the Republican nomination. Minnesota hasn't elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since 2002.

Seth discusses the alarming trend of radicalized politicians entering the public sphere, citing the examples of Democrats Darializa Chevalier and Francesca Hong, who are running for office in New York and Wisconsin, respectively. They have expressed views that are far-Left and even blatantly Communist. Seth highlights the fact that many of these politicians are products of the university system. The discussion delves into the idea that universities are more about indoctrination than education, and that this has led to a generation of young people who are ill-equipped to think critically. Producer David Doll discusses his evening watching the Diamondbacks play. We’re joined by Don Spini from Sun Valley Wealth. Governor Katie Hobbs made it official today announcing her pick of ex-Republican former Mesa mayor John Giles as her running mate in the gubernatorial election this fall.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The timing is the story. Legal historian Holly Brewer's read is that the document was written while Blanche was still acting AG and kept from the senators voting on him, Republicans included. Amanda Carpenter put it simply: a new Attorney General and a new immunity. Chuck Todd's point is that the memo's existence is an admission the White House expects subpoenas aimed at the private parties who did business with Trump and his family. Josh Gerstein noted it landed while courts are already fighting over testimony from outside advisers, Boris Epshteyn in particular. Marcy Wheeler added the background there. This is aimed squarely at congressional oversight, and it works alongside a White House that has no intention of complying with subpoenas anyway. Former federal prosecutor Paul Butler discussed the memo's reach with Peter Alexander.

On today's podcast, Charlie Sykes and Matt discuss:—Why DSA member and failed Wisconsin candidate Francesca Hong was an “absurdly bad candidate” (and why Bernie and AOC stayed away)— How Dems realized they were about to blow a winnable race and hand Wisconsin to an election-denier, so they voted for David Crowley, a candidate who had previously dropped out of the race— Charlie says there are three things every candidate must prove to voters (Hong went 0-for-3)— Matt says 2026 is largely “baked in the cake” as a blue-wave year driven by Trump fatigue, overreach, tariffs, ICE, etc. But! Dems better not take 2028 for granted.— An Independent / Centrist / Unity-Ticket surge has Katie Hobbs (Arizona Democratic governor) picking a Republican running mate, and David Jolly (former Republican Never Trumper congressman) picking a prominent Democrat as running mate in Florida.— Can we trust the polls?— Plus: Trump's catering-truck Air Force One escape, the independent/unity-ticket surge, Minnesota, Michigan, and more.— And MUCH more!Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.
