Podcast appearances and mentions of rex huppke

Son passage en France et l'exposition consacrée à cette légende brésilienne de la photographie marque le coup d'envoi de la saison France-Brésil 2025. Ses clichés engagés et militants sur la famine en Afrique, la diversité des cultures en Amérique Latine, l'immigration, le monde impitoyable du travail, sans oublier les photos splendides de son projet Genesis, centré sur les territoires encore préservés de la planète : l'exposition organisée aux Franciscaines de Deauville, qui s'appuie sur la collection de la Maison européenne de la photographie, pourrait faire figure de rétrospective en noir et blanc de l'œuvre de Sebastião Salgado. Un immense photographe de 81 ans, connu dans le monde entier, mais aussi un conteur passionné qui se confie au micro d'Achim Lippold. ► Dossier à lire ici : «Cette exposition est un résumé de ma vie»: les confidences du photographe brésilien Sebastião SalgadoLes tergiversations économiques de Donald TrumpÉditorial très épicé du Wall Street Journal, dont il suffit de lire la conclusion : « On a dit dès le début que cette guéguerre avec le Canada était la plus bête de l'Histoire. Et encore, on a été gentils ». L'exaspération est manifeste au sein du quotidien que l'élite de la finance lit tous les matins au petit déjeuner, un électorat qui a sans aucun doute voté Trump à la présidentielle, mais ne comprend plus sa boussole économique. « Sa géniale petite offensive sur les droits de douane va causer du tort aux entreprises et aux consommateurs de deux côtés de la frontière, s'alarme le WSJ, et le ministre du Commerce prétend que tout cela va rendre les produits américains moins chers. Pardon ? Les entreprises qui utilisent des composants étrangers vont devoir augmenter leurs prix ou baisser leurs marges. Le ministre du Commerce a-t-il bien compris le commerce ? Le problème avec les guerres commerciales, c'est que lorsqu'on les déclenche, elles peuvent très vite dégénérer. Surtout quand le Canada prépare sa campagne électorale, ou quand M. Trump se comporte comme si sa virilité était en jeu parce qu'une nation étrangère refuse de s'aplatir devant ses coups fourrés ».Et quand ce n'est pas Donald Trump, c'est Elon Musk qui a les oreilles qui sifflent. Chronique rageuse de Rex Huppke dans USA Today, qui, lui non plus, ne décolère pas : « les Américains doivent exiger qu'Elon Musk soit zappé du gouvernement fédéral avant que sa politique de la terre brûlée et sa vision outrancière de la sécurité sociale ne provoquent une révolte ». En résumé, s'énerve Huppke, « il n'y comprend rien. Il parle de 700 milliards d'économies par an, là où l'inspecteur général de la Sécurité sociale trouve à peine 10 milliards à sacrifier. Si vous bénéficiez des programmes Medicare ou Medicaid, la dernière chose qu'il vous faut, c'est un milliardaire ignorant qui ne capte rien à la mise en place d'un budget ». À écouter aussiAux États-Unis, des manifestants anti-Musk se rassemblent devant des magasins Tesla À lire aussiDonald Trump menace le Canada, puis renonce à doubler les taxes sur l'acier et l'aluminiumVers un nouveau travel ban aux États-Unis ?Selon le Miami Herald, l'administration Trump envisagerait un nouveau tour de vis en matière migratoire. Les autorités américaines réfléchiraient à des restrictions à l'entrée sur leur territoire, en fonction de l'origine des immigrants. Soit un processus similaire au travel ban initié par Donald Trump lors de son premier mandat. Cuba, l'Afghanistan et le Pakistan seraient placés sur liste rouge, avec interdiction totale d'entrée aux États-Unis pour leurs ressortissants. Haïti ne subirait pas le même régime, mais les Haïtiens souhaitant rejoindre le sol américain pourraient eux aussi être confrontés à des mesures strictes qui restent à déterminer.

John's monologue this time is 2 fold. First he discusses the father of Colt Gray (the 14 year old school shooter from Georgia) Colin Gray who has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. Then he discusses the incoherent, pitiful speech Trump gave at the Economic Club in New York. Then, he talks about the upcoming election with the Reverend Barry Lynn who was the executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Next, Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella are back to discuss racism and heritage in their Native voices segment. Then rounding it out, John interviews humor columnist Rex Huppke about his latest piece in USA Today "JD Vance takes 'Worst VP pick EVER!' crown from Sarah Palin, and gets less likable every day".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Chris Cyr joins the Idiots. 00:00 Introductions 00:37 The Debate 10:50 The Squad 21:56 Disney 28:13 Corporate Vigilance 31:38 Online Fraud 32:54 Josh Duggar —Is Rex Huppke the dumbest man on the planet? Maybe. Rex posted an opinion piece on June 25th, several days before the first presidential debate. His take? Trump was going to chicken out, and not attend. Well guess what? That didn't happen. Here's a hot take: instead of posting hot takes, allow events to occur, and then report on them. Isn't that what the news is supposed to be, a summation of daily happenings? From that stepping off point—mocking Rex Huppke—the idiots (and Chris) discuss what happened that fateful night. Biden was old and confused; Trump lied every time he opened his mouth. Which will be more alarming to voters? Lies and incompetence, or a stutter? We'll find out in November. —Oh, Jamaal Bowman, we hardly knew ye.  The Squad, the famous group of insane members of Congress who fight for supposed moral justice more than they do the economic benefit of all, lost the fire alarm pulling, shirt waving, insane Jamaal Bowman.  Voters in New York's 16th District gave George Latimer a shot at the seat, causing AOC to blame $25 million in ad buys, not the fact Bowman probably wasn't the best fit for the job. Because reality should never pierce the veil of delusion, should it? (Hint: it was probably his Anti-Semitism and bizarre stance on Israel that lost him the seat.) —This gets a little messy, but stay with us… Disney fired actress Gina Carano, because she didn't align with them politically. And they said so. Publicly. So now Gina is suing Disney for wrongful termination. Seems pretty cut and dried, right? Well… Since the God-awful Supreme Court of 2010, which in retrospect might have been somehow better than the compete dumpster fire of a SCOTUS we have today, handed down Citizens United, corporations are people. Which means Disney has a right to free speech of its own. But seriously, all they had to do is shut up. Gina Carano is a block of wood. Her acting should have spoken for itself here. —The United States is a sue-happy country. People file lawsuits at the drop of a hat, which is absurd.  So, corporations are fighting back, and one way they're covering their bases is by warning consumers about items not even in their product. Why? Just to be safe. The FDA, for some reason, has an issue with this. Look, government… You can't have it both ways. You don't get to let swindlers sue anyone, at any time, and not give people a way to guard against that. Sara Lee and Entenmann's took a creative approach to warning labels, and the Idiots approve. —Go big or go home? No! Go small and succeed!  The Idiots often talk about the dumbest people on the planet, those who fall for easily verified online scams to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars…  Well, “Paul Schwartz” of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (not really) is making bank $600 at a time. He doesn't string people along, he just takes the cash and runs. Well done, “Paul.” (And everyone out there: verify, verify, verify, before giving anyone online any money.) —Josh Duggar is a horrible human being for many, many reasons. I mean, most of the Duggar family is. (Thanks, Jim Bob and Michelle. You really put some awful out there into the world.) But Josh, he's not just awful, he's a convicted criminal, and not for something small, like petty theft. Not. Josh was into children. In the worst way. Well, when you're a criminal with a healthy ego, everything you do should be a-ok with the world, right? Criminal conviction because you're a pervert? Pfft, that's not fair, I'm Josh Duggar! So he asked the Supreme Court to overturn (or at least examine) his case. Hilarious. Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don't have to. Tune in and get your giggle on.

Joan's guests today are: - Ira Shapiro, author of "The Betrayal: How Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans Abandoned America" - USA Today columnist Rex Huppke

Rex Huppke, USA Today columnist, joins Wendy Snyder, filling in for Lisa Dent, to talk about how people can avoid talking politics at the table during Thanksgiving dinner this year.

Part two of our interview with Rex Huppke, in which we hit what is driving Kevin McCarthy (0:54), what do we know from polling (5:50), are we falling into the Fox News Fallacy (8:30), and can anyone realistically beat Donald Trump for the Republican nomination? (14:10)

USA Today columnist Rex Huppke imagined what Kevin McCarthy's new outgoing voicemail would sound like after launching his desperate, shamefully empty impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden, and wrote it up here (https://t2m.io/rSPhOjY2). So, we start our show with our rendition of his column (0:00) and talk about this ridiculous impeachment inquiry, and then get into whether this is a naked power grab on par with the insurrection (7:39), will the impeachment boomerang on Republicans (12:15). We wrap it up there, and will bring you Part Two tomorrow.

Joan's guests today are: - Retired Chicago Police Department chief of detectives Eugene Roy on Larry Snelling becoming next CPD superintendent - Pat Kreitlow, founding editor at Up North News on Wisconsin politics - Dr. John Murphy, professor at University of Illinois Dept of Communication, on rhetoric of the U.S. presidency and contemporary politics - USA Today columnist Rex Huppke

Where were the Idiots last week? That's addressed right off the bat in this Frankenstein's Monster of an episode that took THREE takes, thanks to Jake's less-than-stellar internet. Not only do we discuss Jake's hospitalization for alcoholism—no, he's not cured—we opine about the unfortunate people who work for the My Pillow Guy, Michael J. Lindell.  See, it's absolutely hilarious when he offers $5,000,000 to be proven wrong about election fraud in 2020, even if he is refusing to pay Bob Zeidman, the conservative (note that important nugget of information) who absolutely proved that Lindell's "evidence" was even more flimsy than the film 2,000 Mules.  But when his sales drop, actual workers are harmed. They lose jobs, simply because their former crackhead boss (current boss, former crackhead) won't stop lying about the 2020 election.  Also: a short history lesson. Russia is (allegedly) using amphetamines to hype up "disposable" soldiers, and keep them running into gunfire. It's funny, yes, but it's tradition. Drugs and war go hand in hand like they're chocolate and peanut butter.  Finally, some light mockery of USA Today opinion journalist, Rex Huppke, the man with the goofiest (and biggest) headshot of all online media. 

Joan's guests today are: - Greg Palast on Republican vote-suppression schemes - Julia Manchester, reporter for The Hill on Florida's Republican turn - Sean Kitchen, Courier Newsroom, on Pennsylvania politics - Rex Huppke, USA Today columnist

As a journalist, USA TODAY columnist Rex Huppke has had his share of insults, most journalists have. With the introduction of social media and email, it's become a lot easier to fire off a mean tweet or send a nasty email as opposed to hand writing a letter and dropping it in the mailbox. With the internet at our fingertips, it's easy to dehumanize a person, especially journalists and bombard them with negativity.Back in 2018 Huppke, then at the Chicago Tribune, decided to turn what was a negative experience into something positive. He asked readers, both those that loved him and those that hated him to donate to a local food bank.5 Things Sunday host James Brown sat down with Huppke to talk about his Insult-A-Columnist-Holiday Food drive.The concept is simple, you donate to Feeding America under one of two team names: RexRocks or RexStinks-either loving or hating him. No matter which team you choose, your donation benefits those struggling with food insecurity based on the zip code you provide.Huppke said, "let me have it! Insult me, please." He promises to write a column geared toward whichever team wins; either grotesquely talking about how wonderful he is, or excoriating himself by letting the world know just how terrible he is. So what are you waiting for? Insult Rex and donate by clicking on the link. The drive runs through December.Donte to Rex Rex Huppke's Insult-A-Columnist Holiday Food Drive.

USA Today's Rex Huppke is one of America's sharpest voices on politics and society, and he joins Beyond Politics to discuss what we really learned about America and politics from the 2022 midterms. Did voters side with "decency"? Where do Republicans go from here on Trump? Does polling do anything good for us? What does it mean that America pushed back against election deniers? What do Republicans need to fix to be more successful? And what do Democrats need to fix to be more successful?

*Retired Police Chief Tom Weitzel makes the case for the continued use of Automated License Plate Readers. *Deb Otis of FairVote tells John where Illinois ranks for ‘voter voice' in Congressional elections. Spoiler - it's not great *Rex Huppke of USA Today looks back at the Oklahoma City bombing 27 years later, where he was reporting at the time. *Bonnie McDonald of Landmarks Illinois shares the endangered historical landmarks in Illinois that are worth saving. *Plus, the latest on the Florida bill targeting Disney, and Vicky Lynch of the Chicago Red Stars discusses the rise in popularity of soccer.

"McVeigh was a monster, if anyone deserved the death penalty, it was him" says Rex Huppke, who was there during the execution of the Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh. USA Today Columnist Rex Huppke joins John Howell to recount the tragedy in Oklahoma City 27 years later.

The Chicago Tribune states proudly, "Rex Huppke is considered (by himself) to be America's most-beloved columnist, though there is no empirical evidence of that.” And recently, after almost 20 years at the “Trib,” this famous satirical humorist announced that he would be “jumping ship” to pen his thoughts for a larger international audience at USA TODAY.  Rex's first column for Gannett did not disappoint, as he took a comedic swipe at the far-right anti-COVID-mandate truckers by suggesting that he was working with them to help “overturn” the results of the New York Times “totally rigged” Wordle. The exact words he wrote in the debut piece included, "My Wordle victory was stolen from me, and the American people will not stand idly by and let this crime of the century go unnoticed. To paraphrase former President Donald Trump on the day he definitely didn't incite a crowd of angry supporters to violently disrupt the peaceful transfer of power, ‘If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a Wordle anymore.'" But the very next day, during his first week on the job, history stepped in as Russia invaded Ukraine. So, Rex's next pieces start to take an even more serious note, with titles that include (on February 23rd) — "Knock off the ugly partisanship as Ukraine hangs in the balance. We all deserve better.” And on February 26th — “America's kids are watching Russia's war on Ukraine. We should pay attention." Finally, on February 28th — "Marjorie Taylor Greene at a white nationalist conference? Probably Joe Biden's fault.” In this 127th episode of “E&P Reports,” syndicated columnist Rex Huppke discusses how in his youth, he made a change from a career in chemical engineering to journalism and what it is like today to write his style of political humor in such a polarized country. Plus, E&P Publisher Mike Blinder asks Rex how he comes up with his topics and reviews those debut columns for USA TODAY as war breaks out in Europe.

*WTTW Chicago Politics Reporter Heather Cherone details the fight still ahead of Rahm Emanuel despite his confirmation passing the Senate committee. *Mark DeBofsky, an attorney who represents workers in benefit disputes discusses the MTA denying death benefits to the unvaccinated. *Dave Packer of ABC News talks about how one of the contributors to the Steele Dossier was taken into custody. *Attorney Dan Herberts discusses whether or not it was appropriate to remove one of the jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case. *Joe Cahill of Crain's Chicago Business shares why he believes that public officials should be banned from owning stock. *Plus, Rex Huppke on the McDonald's CEO text trouble and Ken Churilla gives out the holiday deals for the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra.

Last week the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board, columnist Eric Zorn, columnist Rex Huppke, and “reporter” Kim Janssen all took shots at gubernatorial candidate Jeanne Ives’ campaign ad. The Ives campaign released an ad that criticized policies using actors to depict the constituencies Bruce Rauner serviced through his boneheaded Leftist decisions, and Leftists became apoplectic. Actually, they mainly cared about the depiction of a cross-dressing man—or what the Left risibly calls a “transwoman” to conceal the existential and immutable reality of his sex.… Continue Reading
