Send us a message! Really!THIS WEEK on the Get More Smarter Podcast, we always said that Gabe Evans would deport his own grandparents if it meant he could get elected to congress, and now we have proof! Then, the Epstein Files finally seem to be the scandal that Trump can't slither out from…so far. Speaking of which, Lauren Boebert finally got a chance to vote to release those same Epstein Files which she's been demanding since she first ran for office back in 2020, so, how did she vote? Then, Colorado's Attorney General Phil Weiser has filed more suits than a Men's Wearhouse! Then, there's benzene in the groundwater and arsenic in the soil, can you guess which vaunted and totally safe Colorado industry put them there? Probably the same industry bankrolling Right Wing interest groups to try to fuck up the state budget even worse than it already is! And finally, we've got some great listener feedback to share with you, but you'll have to stick around to the end of the episode to hear it! That's it for this episode!

Tucker Carlson has remained an influential and polarizing figure in American media and politics, with several notable developments in recent days. He continues to make waves through his independently run Tucker Carlson Network, where this week he published a discussion with Ana Kasparian focusing on media transparency, the Israel-Gaza conflict, and what he describes as a major realignment of American political parties. The episode particularly drew attention for highlighting criticism of traditional political power structures and the growing disconnect between mainstream media and a segment of the electorate, as reported on his own site.On the business front, Carlson has solidified his place in the ever-evolving creator economy. According to Semafor and Business Insider, Fox Corp. has recently acquired Red Seat Ventures—the same production company that helps produce Carlson's independent content—indicating that Fox is actively seeking to strengthen ties with major independent media personalities like Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Bill O'Reilly. This signals a shift in how corporate giants collaborate with independent creators, moving away from the old model of exclusive contracts and toward more flexible, partnership-based arrangements.Industry watchers note that podcasting remains a growth market, with Fox's moves seen as a way to keep up with platforms like YouTube and Netflix, both of which are aggressively expanding their video podcast offerings. Business Insider highlights Fox's recognition that video is becoming the dominant podcast format, and Carlson's shows are increasingly distributed in video form to capture these audiences.Carlson has not been directly involved in any recent legal disputes or lawsuits, and there haven't been any prominent reports of new professional controversies involving him over the past week. However, he continues to be a focal point in debates about media bias and the role of conservative commentators in shaping political narratives. The Brookings Institution has recently analyzed his alignment with controversial conservative projects such as Project 2025, sparking discussion about Carlson's outsized influence on right-wing political agendas and policy direction.Public reaction to his latest work has been as divided as ever, with supporters praising his “independence” and critics raising alarms about the impact of his rhetoric on public discourse. Notably, no high-profile confrontations with other media personalities or public figures have surfaced in the past few days.All in all, Tucker Carlson remains at the center of several dynamic changes in the media landscape, straddling lines between independent and corporate platforms, and continuing to draw both passionate supporters and vocal detractors. He shows no signs of retreating from the public eye and appears poised to maintain, if not expand, his influence heading into the next political cycle.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast, and make sure to subscribe.

Tim Miller was once a top GOP strategist, working behind the curtain on presidential campaigns. These days, he's calling out the right's lies and warning about the danger Trump and the MAGA movement pose to democracy. This hour, Tim Miller, now the host of "The Bulwark" podcast and writer-at-large at The Bulwark, sits with Ian Hoch to dig into his transformation and what he sees coming next.
Tucker Carlson has sparked global headlines this week after a provocative interview with the German newspaper Bild, where he praised Russian President Vladimir Putin's leadership, calling Putin's stewardship of Russia superior to recent German leaders and attributing Germany's decline to domestic policy failures rather than the conflict in Ukraine. His statements have drawn sharp criticism from German officials and political commentators across Europe, many of whom accuse Carlson of spreading Kremlin-aligned talking points and undermining Western unity amid the ongoing Ukraine war. The interview has fueled renewed debate over Carlson's influence on conservative media, with some describing him as a leading voice shaping right-wing narratives not only in the United States but increasingly on the international stage.Carlson continues to lead his own subscriber-driven platform, the Tucker Carlson Network, where he has recently hosted interviews with high-profile figures such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and progressive commentator Ana Kasparian, showcasing his commitment to airing perspectives both from across and outside the mainstream political spectrum. The network is partially funded by investment from 1789 Capital, a venture firm linked with anti-ESG and “parallel economy” projects, whose backers include prominent figures like Donald Trump Jr., Chris Buskirk, and Omeed Malik. This financial backing has underscored the professionalization and expansion of Carlson's media operations, which are increasingly seen as competitors to more established news organizations.Fox News, Carlson's former employer, is navigating its own post-Carlson landscape, recently finalizing the acquisition of Red Seat Ventures, which produces content for personalities including Carlson and Megyn Kelly. The move reflects a broader trend as major platforms like Netflix intensify their pursuit of talent and audience in the rapidly growing podcast and video podcasting space. According to Business Insider, Netflix has renewed its search for a leader to drive its video podcasting initiative, reportedly showing interest in licensing content from creators with large, established audiences—potentially including shows like those produced by Carlson.In terms of public interaction, Carlson's endorsement of Putin has prompted direct rebukes from European leaders and reignited debates on his reliability as a commentator, especially concerning issues of authoritarianism, Western alliances, and the future of conservative politics. Supporters argue that Carlson is merely challenging orthodoxy and exposing overlooked perspectives, while critics warn that his rhetoric risks amplifying anti-democratic actors and undermining the credibility of established institutions.As of now, no new legal actions have been reported involving Carlson, though Fox News' earlier cease-and-desist warnings regarding content overlap with his previous show continue to loom in discussions among media analysts. Despite these challenges, Carlson's audience engagement remains noteworthy, with online viewership for his shows and podcasts continuing to rise, as reflected in the increasing crossover of political debates into mainstream and alternative media spaces.Listeners, thank you for tuning in to the Tucker Carlson news Tracker podcast.

Robert and Miles discuss the second phase of Laetrile's history, where it becomes a culture war issue for the right wing John Birch Society.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tucker Carlson has made headlines this week following a public dispute with Donald Trump regarding allegations of an apology over Carlson's criticism of Trump's handling of Israel's military actions against Iran. Trump claimed that Carlson called to apologize for labeling him “complicit” in a recent newsletter, but in a new interview with the German newspaper Bild, Carlson flatly denied any such phone call ever occurred. He stated, “Okay… no,” and further clarified he didn't believe anything he said to Trump warranted an apology, while also noting he's generally quick to apologize when he feels it's due. Despite the disagreement, Carlson said he still supports Trump politically and would be happy to apologize if he thought it was merited.In the same wide-ranging Bild interview, Carlson sparked controversy by praising Vladimir Putin's leadership, stating that Putin has done “a great job for Russia,” while sharply criticizing Germany's recent political and economic direction. He argued that Germany's current struggles are domestic in origin and not the result of the Ukraine war or Russian actions. These comments have generated significant reaction and debate internationally, particularly among European commentators and political leaders sensitive to Western alignment on Russia.On the business front, there are no recent announcements of major new projects, but Carlson continues to run the Tucker Carlson Network, his digital media platform launched late last year after parting ways with Fox News. The platform has hosted a steady stream of interviews and commentary, often focusing on provocative or contrarian takes that keep him squarely in the public eye. Carlson's network has leaned into the creator-driven media landscape, as industry analysis by WPP Media suggests platforms led by creators like Carlson are rapidly gaining in ad revenue, sometimes outpacing traditional media outlets.Carlson's influence continues to spark a wide spectrum of responses. Within conservative media, he remains a significant, if sometimes polarizing, voice. For instance, his ongoing scrutiny of U.S. foreign policy, aggressive posture toward establishment politics, and willingness to amplify controversial viewpoints have drawn both devoted support and critical pushback, particularly regarding his comments on Russia and the state of U.S.-European relations. Mainstream and liberal commentators frequently highlight Carlson's reporting as an example of the rising tide of populist, nationalist rhetoric reshaping public discourse.In terms of interactions with other public figures, his exchange with Donald Trump has underscored both Carlson's relevance and the at-times complicated relationship between prominent conservative personalities and political leaders. The back and forth not only grabbed headlines in U.S. politics but was dissected widely in international press. Carlson has not shied away from directly challenging or critiquing leaders on his platform, a dynamic that continues to shape debates over the nature of conservative media influence ahead of the 2026 U.S. midterms.No significant legal actions involving Carlson have been reported in the past several days, nor have there been any confirmed professional disputes apart from the Trump disagreement and ongoing media scrutiny. His most recent activities have centered on high-profile interviews and commentary, consistently making him a focus of news coverage and political debate.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast.

How did neoliberalism go from fringe idea to ruling ideology in the United States? In this deep-dive episode of Explaining History, we trace the hidden rise of America's most influential right-wing think tanks—Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute, Manhattan Institute and more—from their birth in the 1970s oil-crisis chaos to their role in dismantling the New Deal order.You'll discover:• The 1971 Powell Memo that sparked a billionaire-funded “war of ideas”.• How a handful of corporate dynasties (Koch, Olin, Coors) bankrolled institutions that turned think-tank papers into front-page policy.• The media pipeline that quietly replaced the post-war social-democratic consensus with free-market orthodoxy.• Why these think tanks succeeded where state propaganda failed—by cloaking ideology in “independent expertise”.• The transatlantic playbook now shaping politics on both sides of the pond.If you've ever wondered why inequality keeps rising even as growth stalls, this episode unmasks the invisible architects of modern America. Essential listening for historians, activists, journalists and anyone who wants to understand how ideas—funded in secret—became the law of the land.*****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Hosted on Acast.

Tucker Carlson has been making headlines with his push to return to traditional television before 2025, but reports from Nieman Journalism Lab suggest there are lingering contractual barriers with Fox News that could complicate a swift network comeback. Over the past year, he's focused most of his energy on his independent media platform, Tucker Carlson Network, which continues to grow its digital footprint with a mix of live interviews, subscriber-driven programming, and exclusive content. The network features both ad-supported and subscription models and is marketed to an audience keen on direct access to Carlson's brand of commentary.One of the most talked-about recent episodes on the Tucker Carlson Network was Carlson's livestream with Darryl Cooper, diving deep into the ongoing questions and conspiracy theories surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case. This has resonated with his audience and reignited broader debates about elite accountability. Meanwhile, Carlson has surprised many in conservative circles by sharply criticizing Trump and his administration's handling of the Epstein inquiry. According to The DSR Network, Carlson faulted Trump for not taking questions about the Epstein scandal seriously, triggering backlash from staunch MAGA supporters who have typically seen Carlson as an ally. Historian Nicole Hemmer has pointed out that Carlson's willingness to publicly break with Trump is fueling deeper soul-searching within the right-wing media landscape.On the business side, the wider creator economy is experiencing a wave of mergers and acquisitions, with creator-driven media like Carlson's network seen as pivotal as traditional companies look to adapt. Business Insider reports that there's increasing value for digital-first personalities and platforms, with industry analysts predicting creator-led media will surpass legacy outlets in ad revenue this year.Fox News, Carlson's former employer, is also reacting to changes in the digital media market. Fox recently struck a licensing deal with the popular conservative “Ruthless” podcast, signifying a shift toward podcasting and creator economy strategies as cable revenues plateau. While Fox is investing in digital expansions and new talent, including influencer-driven franchises, it's also negotiating its place among audiences that have followed figures like Carlson into subscription and online media models.Carlson's influence and polarizing rhetoric continue to be a source of debate within American political media. Media watchdogs and policy critics are scrutinizing his alignment with political movements like Project 2025, and his ongoing ability to spark heated debate across both the mainstream and alternative right. Nonetheless, his strategic independence and readiness to criticize both left- and right-wing elites keep him a central—if controversial—voice shaping right-wing discourse.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast.

Jemma and Marina are determined to ensure that The Trawl contains as many 'glimmers' as possible so begin the episode with some positive news about butterflies. Also featured is a heart warming story about raving school kids and the Trawl ladies share what each of them have been doing to mitigate how bleak the news is currently. They do go on to discuss why Rory and Alastair acknowledging that a genocide is occurring on their podcast, feels like a 'moment.' There then follows a heartfelt discussion about how they may or may not vote come the next election, and Marina poses a question which gives them both pause for thought. There are, as ever, some brilliant clips including a particularly powerful one of Jewish US actor, Mandy Patinkin. Then, did you know it's forty years since Live Aid? A certain someone has tweeted something so bizarre about it, it gives rise to lots of Trawl gold. Still, perhaps it's not quite as terrible as Tommy Robinson not knowing that migrants can be white, or Farage posing on the white cliffs of somewhere like a page 7 fella.

Tucker Carlson's recent activities have kept him firmly in the media spotlight, sparking debates and drawing strong reactions from political figures, the press, and the public. Over the July Fourth holiday, Carlson announced that he had conducted a rare, exclusive interview with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. This interview triggered immediate controversy; Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw, Senator Ted Cruz, and radio host Mark Levin were among those who sharply criticized Carlson for engaging directly with the leader of a government they characterize as hostile to the United States. In response, Carlson released a video defending his decision, explaining that his aim was to offer direct journalism and candidly engage with world leaders—an approach he compared to past journalistic interviews with controversial global figures.Carlson continues to amplify his profile with the growing success of the Tucker Carlson Network. He recently completed the buyout of his initial investors to assume full ownership, a move promoted as empowering greater editorial independence and creative control. Reports from Spreaker indicate this strategy is part of Carlson's broader ambition to reinvent right-leaning media outside the constraints of cable television, with the network adopting a subscriber-based business model and eschewing traditional advertisers. High-profile interviews remain central to his programming, with recent guests including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Russell Brand. These conversations frequently explore shifting political dynamics, especially the evolving relationships within and between America's major parties.Live engagements remain a significant part of Carlson's media strategy. His “Tucker Carlson Live Tour” is underway, featuring events in major cities and frequent appearances with controversial public figures such as Russell Brand. These gatherings are marketed as both opportunities for Carlson's audience to engage directly and as platforms for unfiltered commentary on current events.On the political front, Carlson has attracted attention for his ongoing coverage and apparent support for the “Project 2025” conservative policy blueprint, though industry analysts have observed that he does not always name the initiative outright. Outlets like the Brookings Institution have analyzed Project 2025's ambitions and its polarizing influence on U.S. political debate, while Carlson's alignment with such plans has intensified scrutiny over his role in shaping the direction of conservative politics.Recent content and interviews from Carlson have often become lightning rods for criticism. In a recent podcast, he ignited controversy by discussing the potential role of Israeli intelligence in the Jeffrey Epstein case—a claim that quickly reverberated across both traditional and social media and prompted heated reactions regarding the responsibilities and choices of influential media personalities.Carlson's business and media influence also continues to grow. Alongside partner Neil Patel, he is reportedly seeking investment for a new venture designed to blend free short-form content with paid, in-depth programming—a move that could further expand his already substantial digital reach. Reports indicate the Tucker Carlson Network is now profitable, fueled by direct subscriptions and loyal audiences on platforms like X, formerly known as Twitter, where his videos consistently draw among the largest political audiences online.Carlson remains highly active as a speaker at high-profile conservative conferences, most recently appearing at Turning Point USA's 2025 Student Action Summit. His questions and remarks at these events are frequently reported as both challenging and combative, sparking spirited responses from guests and furthering Carlson's reputation as an unpredictable and provocative figure within the movement. At a recent event, for example, Carlson grilled Republican Senator Ted Cruz on Iran policy, with their back-and-forth widely shared on social media.Carlson's influence continues to be a subject of debate in media circles, with some describing him as a political shapeshifter, speculating about his long-term ambitions—including (though not confirmed) rumors about a potential run for public office. His new business ventures, reportedly attracting investment from figures aligned with Rebekah Mercer, underscore his drive to remain a central force in conservative media as he carves out an independent, self-directed path.Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson news tracker podcast.

Oklahoma's Superintendent Ryan Walters faces a lawsuit over new, controversially enacted education standards that inject Christian nationalist dogma and conspiracy theories into public school curricula. These changes, lacking transparency, bundle divisive religious content with popular but unfunded mandates, exemplifying a "shit-filled M&M" approach to policy. This blatant religious overreach is part of a broader Christian nationalist strategy to indoctrinate children, undermine secular education, and solidify power by marginalizing other faiths and non-believers. It highlights hypocrisy and poses significant challenges for teachers and the separation of church and state.**News Source:Oklahoma Sued Over School Standards, By Hemant Mehta for The Friendly Atheist, July 2, 2025

Tucker Carlson continues to be highly visible and active across conservative political and media circles. Just this weekend, Carlson was a featured speaker at Turning Point USA's 2025 Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida, sharing the stage with other prominent conservative figures including Donald Trump Jr. and Laura Ingraham. The event, drawing thousands of young conservatives, put Carlson in front of a live audience as he addressed themes related to youth activism, economic opportunity, and the evolving state of the Republican Party. His appearance was widely discussed across social media and conservative news outlets.On the business front, Carlson has assumed full ownership of the Tucker Carlson Network, having bought out his previous investors. He explained that this move was made to ensure complete editorial independence. The network has already reached profitability, relying on a subscriber model and host-read promotions, with no outside advertisers. His main show continues to air on both his website and on X, formerly known as Twitter, where he consistently garners large audiences and remains one of the most-watched political commentators. Carlson, along with longtime collaborator Neil Patel, is reportedly raising investment for a new media venture that aims to build on this momentum, planning a company that blends free short-form content with paid, longer-form programming. Discussions are underway to expand across multiple platforms, indicating a continued push to monetize and amplify Carlson's substantial digital following.Carlson's recent broadcast content has generated considerable controversy. In a new podcast episode, he challenged the role of Israeli intelligence in the Jeffrey Epstein case, suggesting Epstein operated as a foreign agent tasked with blackmailing U.S. officials. This claim has reverberated through both traditional and social media, drawing sharp criticism from various quarters and further fueling debates around Carlson's influence, editorial choices, and responsibility as a media figure.Another flashpoint has been Carlson's recent interviews with controversial world leaders. His much-publicized sit-down with the Iranian president sparked discussions about media ethics, with other commentators, including those on the PBD Podcast, questioning Carlson's approach to sensitive statements like “Death to America” and the line between providing a platform and amplifying hostile rhetoric. His earlier interview with Vladimir Putin similarly drew global attention, reinforcing his ability to set the agenda for political discourse but also inviting criticism for the perceived normalization of authoritarian viewpoints.On the legal and professional front, Carlson remains engaged in ongoing disputes with Fox News. The standoff centers on the terms of his departure and allegations of contract breaches on both sides, including claims of fraud and the unauthorized disclosure of private communications. Fox News has denied these accusations, and negotiations continue, especially with the expiration of his contract approaching in early 2025. These legal battles remain a backdrop to all of Carlson's public activity, adding intrigue and uncertainty to his next moves.Carlson's alignment with Project 2025, a sweeping conservative policy blueprint, has become another focal point in recent days. Analysts at the Brookings Institution and elsewhere have highlighted the controversial aspects of Project 2025, such as its recommendations on government structure and civil liberties, with Carlson's vocal support sparking renewed debates about his role in shaping the direction of right-wing politics heading into the next election cycle.Interactions with other high-profile personalities have also kept Carlson in the news. His appearances alongside Donald Trump Jr., Megyn Kelly, and Charlie Kirk at recent events underscore his continuing relevance and centrality to conservative media. Meanwhile, his statements and interviews remain a flashpoint for both supporters and detractors, generating significant discussion about his ongoing impact on political discourse, activism, and the future of American media.Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson news tracker podcast.

In a candid discussion with Laura, veteran union organizer Alex Han and U.S. Right Wing expert Tarso Ramos explore how workers are uniting against rising authoritarianism.- Watch the episode released on YouTube July 4th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel June 6th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode) and airing on community radio (check here to see if your station airs the show) & available as a podcast July 9th.Description: The United States is moving towards authoritarianism, but there is still a window of opportunity to reverse course. What could improve the chances of re-balancing power in the nation, and advancing towards that multiracial democracy that many still dream of? The answer is worker organizing, say Alex Han and Tarso Luís Ramos. "When we look at the history of U-turns from democratic backsliding to democratic revival, the success rate is about 50 percent," says Ramos. "Where there's active, vibrant union participation, the odds go up to about 80 percent." So what's holding Labor back? In early May of 2025, Laura sat down with Ramos and Han at a conference on “Labor in the Age of Authoritarian Politics”, held at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies (SLU) in New York. Ramos is a leading expert on the U.S. Right Wing and former Executive Director of Political Research Associates. He now serves as Senior Advisor to Future Currents, a strategic planning group of social and economic justice leaders. Han has spent most of his adult life in the labor movement, as an organizer and elected president of a large Chicago local. In 2023, he became Executive Director of In These Times, the long-running Chicago-based progressive magazine. In the wake of mass layoffs and the abduction of Kilmar Abrego García, a union member wrongly exported to El Salvador and now held in Tennessee, can enough workers and their allies band together to make a difference?“I think of all of these times where I've shown up at a protest and I know every single person there. When that happens, I know we're not winning today.” - Alex Han“I think the coup that we did not prepare for was the force accelerator that most people experience as DOGE. It's the Musk and Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen set of actors . . . They're interested in ringing the profits out of the public sector, and they're interested in accelerating the demise of civilian governance altogether.” - Tarso Luís RamosGuests:Alex Han: Executive Director, In These TimesTarso Luís Ramos: Senior Adviser, Political Research Associates; Senior Fellow, Future Currents SAVE THE DATE July 16th 7pm EDT - Virtual Member Event via Zoom: Join Laura Flanders in conversation with FAIR Program Director and CounterSpin Host Janine Jackson about the future of public media, Bill Moyers' legacy and more.

Tucker Carlson has been making headlines once again due to a series of high-profile interviews and rapid expansion of his independent media ventures. Over the Independence Day holiday, Carlson announced that he had conducted an exclusive interview with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. This move immediately sparked controversy across the political spectrum. Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw publicly criticized Carlson on social media, with Senator Ted Cruz and radio host Mark Levin joining in, expressing outrage at Carlson for interviewing the leader of a government they consider hostile to the United States. Responding to the criticism, Carlson released a video statement explaining his journalistic rationale: he pointed out that the U.S. and Iran were close to conflict only days before and argued that direct interviews with world leaders—even adversarial ones—are fundamental to journalism, echoing similar actions by past journalists with global figures.Recently, Carlson has also expanded his Tucker Carlson Network, having bought out his previous investors to assume full ownership. According to reporting by Spreaker, this move allows him even greater creative and editorial control and signals the next phase in his attempt to reimagine conservative media outside the traditional cable television landscape. He continues hosting long-form interviews and panel discussions with a variety of guests, including recent segments with figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Russell Brand, focusing on the evolving realignments of American political parties.Simultaneously, Carlson's “Tucker Carlson Live Tour” is moving forward, with planned live events in major cities and special guests such as Russell Brand. The tour is being promoted as both an opportunity for fans to interact and to hear his takes on current events, often featuring fellow controversial personalities. In terms of his content, Carlson has recently been spotlighted for promoting elements of the “Project 2025” conservative policy blueprint, though analysts at Media Matters have noted that he did not always directly refer to the initiative by name in his broadcasts. Carlson's influence and ability to spark national and international conversations remain significant, with his interviews—especially those with adversarial foreign leaders like Vladimir Putin and now President Pezeshkian—reigniting debates about the ethics and purpose of platforming. While supporters defend these interviews as essential journalism, critics argue they risk legitimizing hostile regimes or spreading propaganda. Despite these debates, there have been no major new legal or professional developments involving Carlson since his departure from Fox News. His family also remains in the news, with his son Buckley Carlson recently securing a high-profile role in the Trump administration as deputy press secretary for Senator JD Vance. This appointment has fueled ongoing discussions about nepotism and the tight-knit nature of conservative media and politics. The intersection of Carlson's growing independent platform, his headline-grabbing interviews, and the persistent scrutiny from both supporters and detractors ensures he remains a central figure in national debates about media, politics, and the boundaries of journalistic practice.Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson news tracker podcast.

On this episode of Everyday Injustice, host David Greenwald speaks with journalist and legal scholar Jessica Pishko about her acclaimed book The Highest Law in the Land, a deep dive into the growing political and institutional power of elected sheriffs in the United States. Pishko explains how sheriffs—often overlooked in criminal justice reform circles—have quietly become key enforcers of a right-wing populist agenda, rooted in a dangerous blend of electoral legitimacy, constitutional distortion, and unchecked local authority. Pishko, whose book has become increasingly relevant amid the Trump administration's renewed embrace of “tough-on-crime” policies and anti-immigrant enforcement, shares how her reporting evolved over time. Initially approaching the topic as a straightforward study of criminal legal institutions, she soon realized she was documenting something far more urgent: the rise of a far-right movement within law enforcement, powered by sheriffs who see themselves as the ultimate arbiters of the Constitution—especially its Second Amendment—and defenders of an idealized, exclusionary vision of America. The conversation touches on the alarming resurgence of programs like 287(g) task force agreements, the disproportionate policing and incarceration of poor, rural, and white communities, and the disturbing feedback loop between constitutional sheriffs and Trump-era authoritarianism. Greenwald and Pishko also discuss the moral and political implications of an elected law enforcement official wielding both symbolic and literal power, often with little oversight and immense local control. Pishko's thesis is both clear and controversial: the office of sheriff, as it currently exists, should be abolished. Drawing on a mix of legal history, investigative reporting, and on-the-ground interviews, she argues that reform has proven inadequate in the face of a deeply entrenched and ideologically driven system. As she puts it, every attempt at reform is met with a backlash "50 times the ask." This episode offers a chilling but essential look at how rural law enforcement has become a front line in America's ongoing battle over democracy, race, and power.

President Donald Trump's decision to support Israel in bombing Iran's nuclear facilities shocked the world. In this episode of New Frontiers, Paul Johnson and columnist Bob Robb break down the legal, political, and moral dimensions of the strike – and its implications for America's role in the Middle East. With thoughtful, candid analysis, they challenge the narratives from both ends of the political spectrum. Topics Discussed in This Video:Trump's Strike on Iran: Did President Trump have the legal authority to bomb Iran? Was it the right call? Paul supports the move for deterring nuclear escalation, while Bob worries it was rushed and politically misframed. They also debate Trump's desire to “celebrate” the attack and how it shaped global perceptions.Why Iran Hates Israel – and Why That Matters: Paul and Bob explore the ideological roots of Iran's hatred toward Israel, examining religious extremism, revolutionary doctrine, and the role of antisemitism in the Islamic regime's worldview.The Right Wing's Stance: “The Jews Are Running America”: Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon are amplifying dangerous narratives about Jewish influence in America. Paul and Bob confront these claims head-on, exposing their historical roots and how they echo antisemitic propaganda.The Left Wing's Stance: “America and Israel Are the Bad Guys”: Reacting to leftist figures like Zohran Mamdani, the discussion shifts to how some progressives frame the conflict through post-colonial and anti-Western lenses – often justifying Hamas and Iran while vilifying the U.S. and Israel.The Solution to Peace in the Middle East: Can there be peace? Paul and Bob explore the potential of a two-state solution, the need for democratic reforms in Gaza, and the risks of placing ideology over governance. They also criticize Trump's pick of Tulsi Gabbard as DNI and her missteps in handling intelligence.

The Senior Status Federal Judges are striking back and hard against the Trump Administration, issuing some of the most scathing rebukes from the bench and in opinions from their perch as judicial historians as well. Add to this growing list, Judge Young of the Federal Court in Massachusetts, who of the 400+ cases pending against the Trump Administration, just tried the FIRST trial related to Trump's cut of millions of dollars in grant money issued by the National Institute of Health to the Black, Brown and LGBTQ+ communities, and declared that the decision to cut funding is the most “blatant” and “palpably” racist act by a Government he has ever seen in 40 years. Michael Popok reports on the trial and Judge Young's ruling and the role of the Senior Status Federal Judges to protect our democracy.

Was the populist far right a reaction to neoliberal free market fundamentalism? Or, as historian Quinn Slobodian argues, did such rightwing currents come out of the ideas of neoliberalism itself? Slobodian reflects on neoliberal thinkers' preoccupation with racist and misogynistic ideas of human nature and intelligence, borders and gold — all in service to their war on the left. Quinn Slobodian, Hayek's Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right Zone Books, 2025 The post The Neoliberal Roots of Rightwing Populism appeared first on KPFA.
For decades, the American right has stayed on brand: the economy. Low taxes. Free markets. Deregulation. Those have been the buzzwords for more than half a century. But that doctrine is now being challenged by other conservatives who envision a future in which America's trade deficit is lower, manufacturing returns to the US, and Americans buy more American-made products. Is this future even possible? Economist Oren Cass thinks it is. In today's episode, the founder of the think tank America Compass speaks to Sean about right-wing economic populism. The two discuss a conservative, pro-worker approach to economic policy, Cass's plan to bring manufacturing back to the US, and what types of behavior economic policy should incentivize. Host: Sean Illing (@SeanIlling)Guest: Oren Cass, chief economist and founder of American Compass. Editor of The New Conservatives: Restoring America's Commitment to Family, Community, and Industry.
