Podcast appearances and mentions of rick wilson

It's time for another holiday special.

Measles is back in South Carolina—and it didn't happen by accident. In this episode, Rick Wilson lays out why RFK Jr. may be the most dangerous member of Trump's cabinet: a powerful megaphone for anti-vaccine propaganda that is eroding public trust in science and reopening the door to diseases America already defeated. As vaccination rates fall, outbreaks of measles, mumps, rubella, and even polio are no longer theoretical—they're imminent. This isn't “debate,” it's policy failure driven by conspiracy thinking, misinformation, and reckless governance. When anti-science ideology moves from the internet into the federal government, the consequences are measured in outbreaks, hospital beds, and children's lives. This episode breaks down how we got here, why public health experts are alarmed, and what happens next if facts no longer matter.  About The Enemies List: American democracy is being threatened, and *Rick Wilson* knows exactly who is responsible. In each episode, Rick calls out those who are the enemies of democracy and exposes their treachery- because sunlight is the best disinfectant. https://bit.ly/3P82A5g Subscribe to Rick's Substack: https://therickwilson.substack.com/ Donate to Resolute Square: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/res...

This morning we're diving into the explosive reporting surrounding the Venezuelan boat strikes and the disturbing allegation that Pete Hegseth may have ordered that everyone on those boats be killed.

November 18, 2025; 6pm: A major loss for Donald Trump today, MS NOW's Ari Melber reports on how Republicans went from opposing any vote to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act to joining Democrats to back it almost unanimously, and how that weakens Trump's legislative strategy.

In this explosive episode, Rick Wilson rips the lid off the DOJ's choking, years-long effort to bury the Epstein files—those blacked-out, shredded, quietly “misplaced” documents that just happen to shield some of the most powerful men in America. We dig into the redactions, the vanishing evidence, the political pressure, and the revolving-door protectors who ensured Epstein's network stayed insulated long after his death. From sealed names to missing logs to the institutional panic radiating through Washington, this episode exposes how the DOJ helped sanitize one of the darkest scandals in modern American history—and why the truth is still clawing its way to the surface.

In the aftermath of Tuesday's sweeping nationwide Democratic wins, Harry calls in a trio of some of the country's sharpest political thinkers—Emily Bazelon, Dave Weigel, and Rick Wilson—to unpack the meaning of the results. Was the increasingly painful government shutdown a decisive factor? Why are the voters who swung to Trump last year deserting him? And, crucially, how might Democrats keep their momentum going?  Mentioned in this episode:  David's reporting:  https://www.semafor.com/author/david-weigelEmily's reporting:  https://www.nytimes.com/by/emily-bazelon#latestThis week's episode of Slate's Political Gabfest:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spectacular-night-for-democrats/id158004641?i=1000735632723Rick's Substack:  https://therickwilson.substack.com/Rick's Talking San Diego appearance:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFN88EW3Znw Learn more about your ad choices.

While Donald Trump's Great Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago made headlines for its gold-plated excess, millions of Americans are struggling to pay rent and buy groceries. As the nation faces rising prices, budget cuts, and shrinking safety nets, Trump's luxury pageantry couldn't feel more out of touch. Rick Wilson unpacks how Trump's detachment from economic reality, his austerity policies, and his performative cruelty have deepened America's empathy crisis. in the Lincoln Square community on Substack today for unparalleled insights, expert commentary, and news from your favorite pro-democracy voices.

Donald Trump has literally torn down a piece of America to build himself a dance floor. In this week's Rick Wilson's The Enemies List Podcast, Rick skewers the Trump East Wing demolition 2025, a $300 million White House ballroom project that turned history into dust and proved—once again—that the worst president in history can't resist wrecking anything he touches. From bulldozing the People's House to funding a gilded shrine to his own ego, Trump's final renovation stunt shows how power, greed, and vanity have replaced leadership, integrity, and the rule of law. Rick pulls no punches as he dissects the symbolism of the White House controversy, the rot of MAGA corruption, and why Trump's legacy will be remembered not in marble, but in rubble.

This week, Rick Wilson dives into one of the ugliest political scandals in years — the Young Republican National Federation group chat that revealed a cesspool of hate, racism, and wannabe authoritarian cosplay. In thousands of leaked messages obtained by Politico, state-level GOP leaders joked about gas chambers, Hitler, slavery, and rape -- and revealed the moral rot at the core of a generation raised on grievance politics and Fox News. These aren't fringe trolls — these are elected aides, campaign managers, and state chairs, the so-called “future” of the Republican Party. Rick unpacks how figures like Peter Giunta, Bobby Walker, Samuel Douglass, Brianna Douglass, Joe Maligno, Alex Dwyer, Annie Kaykaty, Luke Mosiman, William Hendrix, and others went from “rising stars” to radioactive cautionary tales faster than you can say “delete your chat.”  Rick was told that this chat is the tip of the iceberg and that there's a "Legislative Staff Chat" in the House that's 100x worse. It's out there somewhere, so if anyone wants to leak it, you can contact rickwilsonsenemieslist@gmail.com.
