What bone does he have to pick with some of our local leaders? Why is campaigning with good ideas the prudent thing to do first, rather than raising money.

Send a textEpisode 428 – Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 9) Out as RNC ChairmanPower in Washington can rise quickly — and shift just as fast. Part 9 explores the dramatic turning point when Bob Dole's tenure as chairman of the Republican National Committee comes to an abrupt end and George H. W. Bush is brought in to take the helm.Through a series of revealing phone conversations, listeners are taken inside the political maneuvering at the highest levels of the Nixon White House. We hear the tone, strategy, and personal dynamics in calls between President Richard Nixon and Bush, as well as between Nixon and Dole, offering a rare window into how leadership decisions were made during one of the most volatile periods in modern political history.This episode examines not just the mechanics of Dole's removal, but the broader political context surrounding it — a moment when the administration was increasingly consumed by the unfolding Watergate complex scandal. Ironically, stepping away from the RNC chairmanship may have distanced Dole from the day-to-day political machinery that would soon be engulfed in controversy.Part 9 captures the tension, loyalty, and hard political realities behind a pivotal transition — showing how a setback in the moment may have altered Dole's long-term political trajectory and spared him deeper entanglement in one of the defining crises of the twentieth century.

Businessman Rick Jackson jumps into the GOP race for Governor, and everything goes wild. Two polls indicate a strong start for Jackson: Cygnal and Co/Efficient GAGOP Chair and National Committee members clear path for RNC to line up behind Jones? Congressman Barry Loudermilk will not seek reelection. Who is and isn't running? In CD 14, Trump makes his choice. About that FBI warrant in FulCo.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! This week, we dive into the seismic shake-up underway in the race for Georgia governor. Billionaire health care executive Rick Jackson has thrown his hat into the GOP primary, stunning political observers with a well-funded outsider bid that's rattling the established field of candidates. We break down what Jackson's entry means for the dynamics of the contest — from his policy pledges to his promise to invest tens of millions of dollars into the campaign and how that's already altering the narrative. We'll also unpack the most recent financial disclosure reports that reveal the cash on hand across the top contenders and how internal money battles are shaping the fight for nomination for both parties. Meanwhile, we examine the latest Republican National Committee activity, including RNC letters that could influence their support strategy for incumbent Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, and what that might mean for his standing as a perceived establishment favorite. Finally, we look at the competing tax cut plans in the Georgia Legislature — from sweeping proposals to slash or even eliminate personal income taxes to contrasting visions for property tax relief — and how these fiscal debates are becoming central issues in the governor's race. Join us for a comprehensive look at how an unexpected candidate, campaign finances, national party influence, and major policy battles are reshaping one of the most consequential gubernatorial contests in recent Georgia history.

PLUS: a SE Georgia community wants nowhere near a nickel refinery, McBath brilliantly plays Pam Bondi & GA Repub infighting ratchets upIn Northwest Georgia, Republican Rep. Kasey Carpenter is reviving legislation that would shield carpet manufacturers from PFAS “forever chemical” lawsuits, even though investigations have found contamination in local water and communities. Democratic Congressional candidate Shawn Harris has the preferable messaging, but he's not running against Carpenter; so where is the Georgia HD 4 candidate who will, Ron wonders. Meanwhile, Richmond Hill residents are fighting a proposed nickel refinery near schools and wetlands, drawing painful parallels to the 2024 Conyers chemical fire. Hear Ron catch up with a friend who moved, with her husband and daughter, from Conyers fresh off a 2024 environmental disaster, who'd like to avoid having moved to the potential for another. Plus, the Georgia GOP governor's race takes a dramatic turn as new polling shakes up the field, and Ron highlights how the RNC is looking to let Donald Trump decide who should be Georgia Republicans' nominee instead of voters. Then, of course, there's more legal infighting about fundraising, because, of course Repubs who champaign unfettered money in politics can also hate the unfairness of money in politics.Lost in all the Pam Bondi noise was this brilliant, powerful exchange between Rep. Lucy McBath and Attorney General Pam Bondi during a heated House hearing. That said, it's hard not to enjoy / revisit the popcorn-snacking exchanges that has even conservative pundit Erick Erickson calling for Bondi's ouster. AJC contributor Jamie Dupree sums up the fruitlessness of the GOP's clamoring over the SAVE Act as Ron notes the deep flaws that'll even impact MAGA voters. Lastly, between Bondi's antics and the reaction to 'Bad Bunny' by Megyn Kelly, it has to be pointed out that it's notable what MAGA conservative get worked up about and what they don't. Florida-based minister Joe Smith wrote in his Substack about the dichotomy, and there's something for misguided MAGAs (and sometimes even outraged liberals) to do some soul-searching over.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

Trump's return to power didn't fracture GOP donors, it consolidated them. Whatever corporate media fantasy existed about “donor fatigue” collapsed under the reality of 2025. Republican donors are not confused. They're not hedging. They're not waiting to see how things shake out.They're funding outcomes.This is why the RNC could build reserves instead of debt. It's why Democrats had to borrow to keep the lights on.And when the money falters, distraction becomes policy.Enter the street chaos.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about what he sees as a dramatic shift in White House strategy and the political fallout he believes is rattling Democrats nationwide. He argues that renewed scrutiny of fraud, law enforcement actions, and transparency is exposing long-simmering controversies, including what he dubs “Cooper-gate,” surrounding the release of thousands of inmates and the lack of public accountability around their backgrounds. Brett questions Governor Roy Cooper’s denials, calls for full disclosure, and suggests panic is setting in among political insiders as details continue to emerge. We’re joined by Michael Whatley from North Carolina, former RNC chairman and U.S. Senate candidate, to talk about the growing controversy surrounding Governor Roy Cooper’s prison release settlement and broader concerns over public safety and accountability. Whatley breaks down the lawsuit that led to the release of roughly 3,500 inmates during Cooper’s tenure, the secrecy around the list of those released, and the revelation that DeCarlos Brown Jr.—later convicted in a fatal Charlotte light rail murder—was among them. He rejects claims that the early release “doesn’t count,” arguing responsibility still rests with the governor who approved the deal. The discussion also touches on cashless bail, repeat offenders, and unanswered questions about how many other released inmates may have gone on to commit violent crimes. Throughout the conversation, Whatley calls for transparency, a public reckoning, and clearer explanations from Roy Cooper as he seeks higher office, framing the issue as a defining test of leadership, judgment, and commitment to keeping communities safe. Brett is also joined by Patrick Dorinson, author of The Common Sense Cowboy’s Guide to Life, to talk about cowboy values, personal responsibility, and timeless life lessons that feel increasingly rare in modern culture. Dorinson shares his unconventional journey from suburban California into the working cowboy world, explaining how loss, hard-earned experience, and time on the range shaped his outlook. The conversation explores the importance of trust, keeping your word, self-reliance, and learning how to fix problems instead of outsourcing responsibility or blame. Dorinson contrasts old-school common sense with today’s impulse to litigate mistakes and avoid accountability, arguing that adversity is often life’s best teacher. He also reflects on regret, resilience, and the need to stop dwelling on “what might have been” in favor of action and perseverance. Throughout the segment, Brett and Dorensen highlight a shared belief that character, grit, and humility remain essential tools for navigating a chaotic world.

He opens with a raw reflection on how Trump's insurrection shattered his own family's memories of the date, then tears into Trump's runaway war footing across the Western Hemisphere, from Venezuela to Cuba, Colombia and even Greenland, and a cowardly Congress that won't assert its War Powers responsibilities or even demand answers on alleged war crimes and wounded U.S. troops.​ On this somber anniversary, Paul is joined by the “great and powerful” Scott MacFarlane, CBS News justice correspondent and arguably the most trusted reporter on January 6th in America. Reporting from inside the Cannon House Office Building, Scott reveals that Republican leadership is doing nothing official to mark the day—no memorials, no floor speeches, no shared remembrance for officers who were beaten, gassed, traumatized or killed—creating what he calls a real‑time whitewashing of history, as he details the emotional toll on Capitol Police and congressional staff who hid under desks, called their families, and then came back to work in the same halls that were under siege. He breaks down the state of accountability now: mass clemency for more than 1,500 rioters, pardons that wiped away cases even for people not yet arrested, halted and refunded restitution payments, the new pipe‑bomb arrest outside the RNC and DNC, the slow grind of the Maduro case, and how denialism has shifted from rejecting the 2020 result to denying the insurrection itself.​ Paul zooms out to connect Trump's unchecked global strikes, the risk of another government shutdown, the dissolution of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting after 58 years of funding PBS, NPR and local stations, and new efforts in New York to require teaching January 6th alongside 9/11 to kids growing up in a time when that history is being rewritten. He spotlights independent veteran Senate hopeful Ty Pinkins of Mississippi and reminds listeners why Independent Veterans of America was created to back patriots like him, then rounds out the episode with culture and sports—from the X‑Men's big‑screen return to Montana State's first FCS title in 41 years and the power of football as one of America's last shared rituals—before he and Scott close by saluting the officers and staffers who “stood the line” on January 6th. For everyone tired of partisan gaslighting who knows January 6th was real and still matters, this is a home for country over party, people over politics, and light over heat—and a call to subscribe, share, support independent media, and stay vigilant, especially on January 6th.

Four years after bombs were planted at DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021, the FBI just pinned it on Brian Cole—a reclusive autistic man who doesn't match the gait, height, or profile. Recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraphin, who ran surveillance one door away from real suspects before being ordered to stand down, says this is a blatant patsy job. Forensic gait analysis shows a 94–98% match to former Capitol Police officer (now CIA) Shauni Kerkhoff; USCP officers walked past the live DNC bomb to poke bushes the bomber sat in 17 hours earlier; cell-phone data was scrubbed, leads were buried. Seraphin pulls no punches: this smells like an inside false flag, and Trump's own DOJ is now helping seal the coffin.Right now—literally as this show airs—70-year-old cancer patient and election whistleblower Tina Peters is being marched back into solitary confinement in Colorado's La Vista prison: 22 hours a day in a filthy cell, lights on 24/7, no yard time, “for her safety.” This comes days after her pardon request landed on President Trump's desk and Harmeet Dhillon launched a formal investigation into Colorado's prison system. Seraphin connects the retaliation: the same Dominion images Tina preserved—now corroborated by a Venezuelan general's confession of foreign election meddling—make her a national-security asset, not a criminal. Yet Colorado's regime keeps tightening the screws while Judge Varholak shrugs and says “wait your turn.”Kyle Seraphin—husband, dad, Marine vet, and FBI whistleblower—comes locked and loaded with fresh intel, whistleblower coordination, and a no-compromise call to action. From crashing the White House switchboard to forcing congressional hearings, this is the time to break the silence. The fuse is lit. Listen hard, move fast, or we lose everything.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Jim Verdi fills in for Mark. The FBI has arrested Brian Cole from Virginia as the suspect in the January 5-6, 2021 pipe bomb incident near the DNC and RNC, identified through forensic evidence. This case is a major scandal, as the Biden administration and FBI had this information for four years and they couldn't out it together?  This could also count as an assassination attempt of incoming VP Kamala Harris, yet nobody seems to want to talk about that. It seems that the Biden administration didn't want to find out who the pipe bomber was. This is just the start of unraveling unanswered questions rather than the end of the investigation.  Also, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of Texas using its redistricting map potentially allowing the state to gain five extra seats in the midterm elections. Dissenters Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson argued – racism. But the redistricting was the opposite of what they alleged. Later, the latest battle in the ongoing media manipulation of the news cycle is the battle with Pete Hegseth. Democrats are pushing for Hegseth to resign or be fired by President Trump, alleging he committed a war crime during a September 2nd strike on a boat carrying drugs and two narco terrorists. Trump is fighting the drug war by taking it to the cartels and the Democrats can't stand it. Finally, Minnesota's immigration situation is a disaster that could spread nationwide. Biden administration had an unstated goal of allowing immigrants from third-world countries, particularly Somalia, to enter and take over towns, cities, and states without assimilating to American culture.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss an arrest in the 2021 Washington, D.C., pipe bomb case, the fierce debates over one of the U.S. strikes against a Venezuelan drug boat, and another colossal waste of your tax dollars.First, they applaud the FBI and other law enforcement for finally arresting the likely culprit behind the January 2021 pipe bombs left outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington. Jim and Greg walk through how investigators connected the dots and why Jim sees this as a win for diligent police work and a clear rebuttal to conspiracy theories.Next, they dive into the fierce debate surrounding the September U.S. attack on a Venezuelan drug boat. Early media reports claimed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of everyone aboard, prompting multiple strikes. Later reporting sharply contradicts that narrative. Jim says the administration should have laid out the full story from the beginning, but, unlike some Democrats, Jim and Greg shed no tears for the dead drug traffickers.Finally, they sigh at reports that the U.S. Postal Service spent $3 billion of our tax dollars to procure 35,000 new mail trucks but only 612 were made. That's almost $5 million per truck. Jim and Greg fume over the government waste and explain how the government is incapable of being a good steward of our moneyPlease visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout.  Before you check out for the holidays, do one smart thing for your future with Noble Gold.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Anna Bower, Michael Feinberg, and Roger Parloff to talk through the week's big domestic news stories, including:“Diving Head First into the Shallow End of the Jury Pool.” A federal magistrate judge has concluded that the government may well have made substantial misrepresentations and other errors before the Grand Jury in the prosecution of former FBI director James Comey, and has ruled that Comey is entitled access to extraordinary discovery to make his case that these errors warrant dismissal, among other possible remedies. What does this ruling—which is now on appeal—mean for the Comey prosecution and for the Trump administration's other efforts to prosecute the president's enemies?“The Ep Files: Fight the Future.” Republicans in Congress are hotly divided on the question of the Epstein files. While some Republicans (along with many Democrats) have sought broader disclosures from the Justice Department, among other sources, Speaker Mike Johnson and others have thrown up roadblocks to relevant requests, in part out of apparent concern that they may contain damaging revelations about President Trump. But the White House did an about-face this week, switching to support legislation that would compel disclosure of the investigatory materials—clearing the way for it to move forward. What explains the switch in time? And where might it lead?“Pipe Dreams.” The right wing media outlet The Blaze released a bombshell report last week, indicating that they had identified a law enforcement and intelligence official as the likely perpetrator of the Jan. 6, 2021, attempted pipe bombing of the DNC and RNC headquarters in Washington, D.C.—a longstanding obsession in certain corners of the internet. But its claims were quickly rebuked by senior FBI officials, triggering a round of mutual incrimination and accusation. What does this tell us about the state of the investigation and the broader relationship between the Trump administration, law enforcement officials, and prominent portions of his support base?In object lessons, Anna revisits an older novel, echoed by some current events: Nora Ephron's “Heartburn.” Roger revisits the November 13, 2015, terrorist attacks across Paris, commemorating the event's 10-year anniversary with a recommendation of a video on Le Monde. Scott will be revisiting one of his favorite holiday events in the DC area: the Aimee Mann and Ted Leo Christmas Show. And Mike is revisiting novels of the past, bit by bit, through Edwin Frank's “Stranger than Fiction: Lives of the Twentieth Century Novel.”To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
