Republicans continue their voter suppression tactic– closing a third of all voting locations in Tarrant County, Texas. Brian interviews Robert Garcia and Ro Khanna.Written by Brian Tyler CohenProduced by Sam GraberRecorded in Los Angeles, CASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Congress increasingly focused on Richard Kahn because he was not some distant accountant who occasionally handled Jeffrey Epstein's taxes; he spent years inside the machinery of Epstein's finances and later became a co-executor of his estate. The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Kahn and questioned him behind closed doors in March 2026 about the companies, payments, gifts, financial transactions and estate operations that surrounded Epstein. Kahn told lawmakers that he had no knowledge of Epstein's abuse or trafficking and said he saw nothing suspicious in the spending he managed, even though he tracked Epstein's expenditures closely and authorized payments involving women connected to Epstein. Lawmakers were particularly interested in the web of companies Kahn helped administer, the movement of money through Epstein's accounts, his role in dealing with banks and the extent to which financial infrastructure helped sustain Epstein's operation. Oversight Democrats were openly skeptical of Kahn's claim that he remained unaware, arguing that someone with such intimate knowledge of Epstein's money deserved far more scrutiny over what he saw, approved and facilitated.The questioning became even more significant when Kahn made admissions that lawmakers said raised additional questions rather than resolving them. Democratic members said Kahn acknowledged helping facilitate a sham marriage involving women connected to Epstein and admitted that he had impersonated Epstein in communications with banks. Congress also zeroed in on Kahn's role as co-executor of the estate, including settlements paid to survivors and questions about a particular claimant referred to as “Jane Doe 4.” Kahn initially appeared to say that the woman had received a settlement, only for his attorney to later retreat from that account, first saying no settlement existed and then saying he could neither confirm nor deny one. That shifting explanation prompted lawmakers Robert Garcia and Ro Khanna to demand written clarification. The larger congressional focus on Kahn reflected a broader effort to move beyond Epstein's famous friends and examine the people who actually managed the money, companies and payments that kept his world functioning. Kahn has not been criminally charged and has denied knowingly facilitating Epstein's crimes, but Congress clearly treated him as one of the central financial figures capable of explaining how Epstein's operation worked for so long.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The host's core point: the two were trying to litigate a criminal case whose facts haven't been established in court, arguing "internal frame versus internal frame," which inevitably devolves into madness when those frames don't intersect. He's pointed that this isn't about who's likable—he argues Wilson walked in as a "frame of reference" debater whose bully-the-room tactics collapsed against someone prepared, and that Wilson couldn't name the actual charges in the case while Candace could, making him look like he wasn't arguing from real command of the facts. On Candace, the host makes a deliberately careful epistemics argument: whatever you think of her conclusions, treating "she's obviously wrong" as self-evident is itself a frame-of-reference trap—because the facts of the trial (Tyler Robinson has not yet entered a plea, and the case hasn't been argued) simply aren't out yet, so neither side can claim proof. He predicts how the trial may play out and why the defense's choices about which evidence to use will be the real tell, while stressing repeatedly that he's speculating and that the honest position right now is "we don't know." Ryan and the team push on where the line sits between healthy skepticism and conspiratorial thinking, and the group lands on a shared lesson: don't get pulled into a debate when there's no agreed framework for adjudicating it, and wait for the facts before declaring a winner.The team breaks down the public exchange between Rep. Ro Khanna, who argues America must tax wealth and redistribute from billionaires, and Mark Cuban, who pushes back that "ideology is not a strategy." The host agrees with the diagnosis but not the cure: he concedes that people genuinely feel the system isn't working for them—and that they're right, pointing to the college-debt pipeline, an abusive housing market, and currency inflation eroding savings—but argues that taxing wealth misidentifies the solution. Walking through Cuban's argument, he explains the mechanics most people miss: founders of $10B "deca-unicorns" are typically cash-poor and stock-rich, worth billions on paper while the raised money goes into the company, not their pockets—so a wealth tax forces them to sell or borrow against speculative shares, which is often impossible and destructive to the company itself. He highlights Cuban's warning that a California wealth tax (Prop 40) would simply push investors to require startups to relocate to Texas, Indiana, or Florida first—meaning the state loses deca-unicorns it never even sees leave—and that "when you tax something, you get less of it." He connects it to his recurring critique of Bernie Sanders' framing: even if the revenue estimate were real (roughly $20B/year against a ~$30B Medicaid funding gap), you can only spend it once, and the act of liquidating shares to collect it would be self-defeating. The host's alternative is structural: get money out of politics, be fiscally disciplined, rebuild real manufacturing to take on China, stop funneling everyone into debt-financed college, let students discharge that debt in bankruptcy to force lending discipline, and stop suppressing wages with low-wage immigration so the true price of labor is revealed. Tom, Drew, and Ryan dig into a Census Bureau data effort that cross-referenced 2020 voter records against federal citizenship files—and end up in a genuine, three-way disagreement about what it means. Tom plants a strong flag: he believes there is significant voter fraud that will be revealed as more data is processed, arguing from "first principles" that where you have access plus incentive and no safeguard, abuse will follow, and that election integrity is worth shoring up even before there's overwhelming evidence. Drew and Ryan push back as the fact-checkers in the room: Drew stresses that the reported ~24,000 figure comes from a partial, unprocessed run and, crucially, that "non-citizen" includes lawful permanent residents (green-card holders) who aren't the same as people who crossed illegally—so the headline shouldn't be read as proof of illegal-alien ballot harvesting. Ryan fact-checks the specifics in real time: how Social Security numbers actually work for non-citizens (work authorizations, ITINs, fraudulent documents, expired visas), what California's voter-verification process actually requires (signature matching, with a first-time-voter ID exception under federal HAVA law), and the point that documented voter fraud in the US has consistently been shown to be well under 1%. The group works through California's and Minnesota's differing rules, whether signature-matching and vouching systems are genuinely exploitable, and lands on a striking meta-point: three people looking at the exact same facts arrive at very different conclusions, which is itself a lesson in how much of what we call "fact" is filtered through perception. A substantive, disagreement-driven look at election-integrity claims—with the receipts checked on air.ggSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the guys discuss the high cost of tickets to sporting events compared to years ago. A new poll indicates only the die hard fanatic would be willing to go into debt to buy tickets to high profile games. Most Americans now choose to watch on TV. Also California will vote on its statewide "billionaire tax" in November. In an X response to Rep. Ro Khanna, Mark Cuban said the tax would adversely affect founders, who may be billionaires in stock but lack the cash to pay it.

DR1THINGS WE MISSEDNERDY ESG STUFFL3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conduct CARESL3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor's code of conduct.Kubasik's alleged conduct didn't involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday.The company didn't give details on when it received a report of the potential violation. With the aid of independent counsel, the board determined that Kubasik's removal would be in the company's best interest, L3Harris said. He will be allowed to retain and exercise some previously vested stock options but won't receive severance payments, benefits or accelerated stock-based awards.L3Harris Technologies Appoints Sam Mehta, Proven Aerospace and Defense Executive, as President and Chief Executive Officer“The Board determined that the Executive engaged in conduct that was not consistent with the values of the Company as outlined in its Code of Conduct.”Kubasik will still hold onto some of his options that can net him stock worth about $23 million, as well as more than 200,000 shares of stock in L3Harris that he already owns, valued at nearly $57 million. L3Harris has paid Kubasik compensation valued at $66.3 million during the past three years, including $25.6 million in fiscal 2025.The separation disclosure says the L3Harris board decided to reach a deal with Kubasik to get him to leave rather than trying to fire him for cause. Kubasik did not admit to any violation of the company code of conduct, and the deal expressively forbids any of the parties or their representatives from making public statements “inconsistent” with Monday's disclosure.Harvard reveals $2.2 billion SpaceX holding worth more than half its U.S. equity portfolio CARESBusting CEO Pay Curve in 2025, Musk Made Annual Salary of Average Tesla Worker Every 4.2 SecondsS&P 500 CEO pay jumps to record as Musk-inspired compensation plans spread: average S&P 500 CEO pay reached $340.1 millionUS SEC to keep hands off shareholder proposals, worrying activists CARESStaying Alive: ISS Continues Its Influence on 2026 Voting OutcomesISS recommended against fewer say-on-pay proposals than last year: 8.3% versus 9.2% in 2025.ISS supported fewer E&S proposals than in prior years, but investor votes more strongly tracked its recommendations.

Welcome to Rate Payers First, where we cut through the noise on America's energy crisis. Join host David Blackmon, Stu Turley, and Frm Representative Jason Isaac as we expose the policies destroying your wallet, threatening national security, and crippling American energy independence. From windfall profit taxes to grid failures to Chinese equipment in our power lines—we're asking the questions Washington won't answer. Because affordable, reliable energy isn't a luxury. It's the foundation of prosperity, security, and freedom.This podcast is going out on both the Energy News Beat, and Energy Impacts Podcast and we highly recommend following Jason Isaac on his LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonaisaac/, and also his website: https://americanenergyinstitute.com/Also check out David Blackmon's Substack https://blackmon.substack.com/, and The Energy News Beat Substack https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/1. Oil & Gas Pricing & Market DynamicsThe hosts debate President Trump's comments about oil companies "price gouging" on gasoline. They explain the "rocket and feather effect"—how prices spike quickly when supply concerns arise but take longer to fall. They note current gas prices are actually lower than during the Biden administration and lower than historical averages, despite public frustration.2. Windfall Profit Tax ConcernsDiscussion of proposed Democratic legislation (Ro Khanna and Bernie Sanders) to impose windfall profit taxes on oil companies. The guests argue this would ultimately harm consumers by raising costs and reducing investment, citing Texas as an example of how lower business taxes attract companies and economic growth.3. Data Centers & Critical Digital InfrastructureA major focus on the AI race against China and the importance of data centers. They contrast Governor Hokel's ban on data centers in New York with Governor Abbott's measured approach in Texas—a temporary halt to review environmental impacts. Key points include data centers' economic benefits (jobs, tax revenue, $1 billion to Texas education last year) and the need to protect water resources through responsible practices like desalination.4.

Welcome to Rate Payers First, where we cut through the noise on America's energy crisis. Join host David Blackmon, Stu Turley, and Frm Representative Jason Isaac as we expose the policies destroying your wallet, threatening national security, and crippling American energy independence. From windfall profit taxes to grid failures to Chinese equipment in our power lines—we're asking the questions Washington won't answer. Because affordable, reliable energy isn't a luxury. It's the foundation of prosperity, security, and freedom.This podcast is going out on both the Energy News Beat, and Energy Impacts Podcast and we highly recommend following Jason Isaac on his LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonaisaac/, and also his website: https://americanenergyinstitute.com/Also check out David Blackmon's Substack https://blackmon.substack.com/, and The Energy News Beat Substack https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/1. Oil & Gas Pricing & Market DynamicsThe hosts debate President Trump's comments about oil companies "price gouging" on gasoline. They explain the "rocket and feather effect"—how prices spike quickly when supply concerns arise but take longer to fall. They note current gas prices are actually lower than during the Biden administration and lower than historical averages, despite public frustration.2. Windfall Profit Tax ConcernsDiscussion of proposed Democratic legislation (Ro Khanna and Bernie Sanders) to impose windfall profit taxes on oil companies. The guests argue this would ultimately harm consumers by raising costs and reducing investment, citing Texas as an example of how lower business taxes attract companies and economic growth.3. Data Centers & Critical Digital InfrastructureA major focus on the AI race against China and the importance of data centers. They contrast Governor Hokel's ban on data centers in New York with Governor Abbott's measured approach in Texas—a temporary halt to review environmental impacts. Key points include data centers' economic benefits (jobs, tax revenue, $1 billion to Texas education last year) and the need to protect water resources through responsible practices like desalination.4.

For this segment Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point out that the surveillance footage shown in court identifying Tyler Robinson as Charlie Kirk's killer was horizontally compressed, making the person appear thinner and more like Robinson, while the uncompressed image shows a stockier individual who doesn't match his build. Jimmy also points out that the lead prosecutor identified the person in the altered footage as Robinson despite the visual discrepancy, suggesting the video was manipulated to frame him. Candace Owens has publicly defended the image as unaltered by AI, stating that the court showed "compressed footage." The segment also questions why Tyler Robinson's court-appointed defense team appears ineffective and why other lawyers have been prevented from representing him. Plus segments on China controlling whether the U.S. can rebuild its depleted missile supply, Jen Psaki admitting that the Democrats rig primary elections and journalist Sam Husseini confronting Congressman Ro Khanna about his failure to call for Trump's impeachment over the "illegal" Iran war. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!
Congressman Ro Khanna says America needs an “economic realignment.”Fresh off a tour through his birthplace of Pennsylvania, Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said he is “thinking seriously” about running for president in 2028 — a race he called a “breaking point in America” that could lead to a destructive revolution or a new economic order. “If we don't do something dramatically different, we may break,” Khanna tells NPR's Steve Inskeep in this episode of Newsmakers. “Have you met these folks in their 30s? They want pitchforks and torches. They want your scalps … politically.” The California lawmaker — who acknowledged he sits around 2% in the Democratic presidential polls — does not have the name recognition of some other contenders, including his fellow Californians: former Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Gavin Newsom. He has, however, steadily raised his profile through years of action on issues ranging from the Epstein files to a wealth tax. And his possible bid for president comes as the Democratic Party's center and left-wing candidates battle over ideological differences within the party.Khanna said Democrats need to nominate a progressive who will usher in “America's next New Deal” and shouldn't fear being labeled “communists” by Republican opponents, including President Trump. “We've been calling the guy a fascist for 10 years and he's won two terms,” Khanna said. “Labels usually don't matter in American politics.”Newsmakers is where you'll find NPR's biggest interviews.

Ro Khanna represents Silicon Valley in Congress, and he's spent the last few years building a case that the Democratic Party's future runs through places like Johnstown and Erie–in his home state of Pennsylvania–not just tech wealth. He calls it progressive capitalism, and he thinks it's the platform that beats both Donald Trump's economic nationalism and the socialism of the party's left flank. He joins Coleman Hughes to make his case, ahead of an expected decision on a 2028 presidential run. They start with why Khanna broke from his own party to defend the Hunter Biden laptop story, and whether he'd actually seek congressional approval for military action as president or repeat the pattern set by Democratic presidents before him. From there they get into his pitch for why Democrats should pick him over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and his case for targeted tariffs on steel and trucks instead of Trump's blanket approach. They end on his shift from calling himself a pro-Israel progressive to arguing that Israel's war in Gaza amounted to genocide. On Tuesday, August 18th, Coleman will be answering your questions in the Free Press Forum.

Donald Trump and his former cable news weekend co-host defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, are reportedly fighting over who is to blame for wasting U.S. military resources and depleting the U.S. weapons stockpile on Trump's inexplicable war on Iran. Hegseth reportedly blamed his deputy. Rep. Pat Ryan, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, joins to discuss Trump's foolhardy prosecution of the war. Donald Trump's brazen corruption is so much a part of his political identity that it has become an election issue unto itself. And when Senator Tim Scott tries to gaslight the American public into believing Trump is a model of ethics, or when JD Vance tries to pretend prosecuting fraud is an important priority of his, Trump's corruption only makes them look ridiculous. Rep. Ro Khanna joins to discuss. Mitch Landrieu and Jennifer Palmieri discuss the shifting politics in the American South. Stacey Abrams joins to talk about resurrecting the protections of the Voting Rights Act. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act II after the Justice Department repeatedly missed deadlines and faced accusations that its releases under the original law were incomplete, heavily redacted and improperly exposed survivors' personal information while concealing the identities of men potentially connected to Epstein's abuse. The proposed legislation would give survivors, members of Congress, state attorneys general and local prosecutors standing to sue the Justice Department for failing to release required records. It would also allow survivors to obtain complete, unredacted records concerning their own cases and give state and local authorities access to materials needed for investigations and prosecutions, including classified information through secure channels.The new bill was designed to add enforcement powers that critics said were missing from the original Epstein Files Transparency Act, including potential criminal penalties for Justice Department or FBI officials who knowingly concealed, destroyed, falsified or withheld records. Legal experts said the legislation could become a significant tool for survivors and state investigators, but questioned whether it could attract enough votes in Congress, whether President Donald Trump would sign it and whether another law would actually force cooperation from the same Justice Department accused of resisting disclosure. Supporters, including Thomas Massie, Ro Khanna, Jeff Merkley, Ben Ray Luján and Teresa Leger Fernández, argued that stronger legal consequences were necessary because the administration had failed to comply fully with the original transparency mandate.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Trump just gave Iran one last chance before “decapitation” — and the Strait of Hormuz is on the clock. You need to see this before the next move drops. President Trump announced from the Oval Office that he is handing Tehran a final ultimatum after calling off a massive weekend strike. Talks are supposedly under way to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz as soon as Tuesday, with Gulf allies backing the push. Trump called it the last chance to sign a good deal and avoid leadership-targeted strikes. Iran is already denying direct negotiations with the United States, saying it is only talking with Oman about shipping routes. After more than a dozen previous deadlines and pullbacks since the war started in February, Trump is framing this as different — phase one opens the oil choke point; phase two goes after Iran's nuclear program. Regular Americans watching gas prices and Middle East chaos need the straight story on whether this ultimatum holds or becomes another delay.

Did OpenAI hack Hugging Face? Mamdani's latest idea: Show ID for cheap groceries. Do you think Iran will actually sign this time, or is this just more talk?

Journalist Jasper Nathaniel returns to the show for another look at the state of the West Bank.

Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus Marta. An experiment with "pilot zones" in southern Lebanon involves Israeli troop withdrawals and replacement by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure. In Washington, 103 Democrats signed a resolution to deny aid to Israel, a move Hoenlein attributes to political intimidation rather than violations of law. Furthermore, a reported detention of Ro Khanna in a military zone was characterized as a "concocted" confrontation. (6)1968
Speaking with guest host Russell Dobular of the Due Dissidence show, Professor Seyed Muhammad Mirandi critiques JD Vance's explanation of the US-Iran conflict, arguing that Vance's "pragmatists vs. hardliners" framing is a fiction used to justify ongoing US violations of the memorandum of understanding. Mirandi contends that Iran never believed the US would fully implement the deal, as Trump only wanted to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for oil exports while refusing to lift sanctions, return Iranian assets, or restrain Israel. Iran retaliated against US attempts to establish a separate shipping corridor—a clear violation of the agreement—leading to renewed skirmishes, but Tehran prepared by exporting massive oil reserves during the brief ceasefire. Mirandi concludes that the US is now in a worse strategic position because Iran stockpiled essential goods and remains militarily ready for a prolonged conflict. Plus segments on Ro Khanna's contentious interview with journalist Jeremy Scahill over the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Flock CEO calling privacy advocates "terrorists," and the increasing demands for hard evidence that Mitch McConnell is still alive.

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Lawfare Foreign Policy Editor Daniel Byman, Lawfare Public Service Fellow Julia Curlee, and Lawfare Contributing Editor and Vice President of Research, Security and Defense at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs Ariane Tabatabai, to talk through the week's big news in foreign policy, including:“Truce or Consequences.” The fragile ceasefire that had paused the U.S.-Iran war since the spring now appears to have collapsed. After Iran struck several commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the United States has launched several successive nights of strikes, hitting more than 300 targets across Iran. Iran has in turn retaliated against U.S. bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. Speaking from the NATO summit in Ankara, President Trump declared the June memorandum of understanding “over” even as he insisted that talks toward a lasting peace could still continue. By the weekend, Iran had declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, and U.S. officials were describing the ceasefire as fully “broken down.” Then, on Monday, Trump escalated further—declaring that the United States would “keep” and “run” the Strait as its self-styled “Guardian,” reinstate its blockade on Iranian ships, and charge a 20% fee on all cargo passing through, an arrangement Tehran has flatly rejected. Is the war back on? And is there any diplomatic path left to pull both sides back from the brink? “Rutte Awakening.” NATO's leaders gathered in Ankara last week for a summit that Secretary General Mark Rutte billed as the launch of “NATO 3.0”—a stronger, more self-reliant Europe inside an alliance less dependent on the United States. Allies touted rapid progress toward last year's pledge to spend 5% of GDP on defense, announcing more than $50 billion in new procurement and at least €70 billion in fresh military aid for Ukraine. But the gathering was overshadowed by friction with President Trump, who publicly berated allies for declining to help in the Iran war and briefly revived his campaign to acquire Greenland before ending on a somewhat more conciliatory note. What did the Ankara summit actually accomplish? And what does “NATO 3.0” mean for the alliance's future?“Bad Bromance.” The once-close alliance between Washington and Jerusalem—and between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu—is showing unusual public strain. Trump has repeatedly clashed with Netanyahu over Israel's continued operations in Lebanon—which have threatened the Iran ceasefire—and over the stalled second phase of his Gaza peace plan, which has all but wilted as Hamas refuses to disarm and Israel refuses to withdraw. Defense Secretary Hegseth abruptly canceled a planned trip to Israel, and a possible F-35 sale to Turkey has added to the unease. The tensions turned vivid this past week when Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said he was detained for more than an hour by armed Israeli settlers—and then by IDF soldiers—during a West Bank visit, and armed settlers attacked a CNN crew and other journalists days later. At home, Israeli confidence in Trump has plummeted in advance of Israeli elections in October, even as U.S. primaries have produced a record number of candidates critical of Israel, particularly on the left. Just how strained is the U.S.-Israeli relationship? And how might Israel's coming elections—and America's midterms—reshape it? (Also see the Atlantic article by Thomas Wright that Julia references here.)In object lessons, Dan reviews the movie The Invite, and it's complicated. Ari reviews Israeli jazz musician Avishai Cohen's new album “Eternal Child” and is totally engaged. Scott remembers the influential life and career of Lindsey Graham, separating himself from any alleged involvement in a long-ago gym-mat scandal. And Julia is in love with post-SCIF life, especially one in which she can work from the serenity of her mother's paradisiacal porch.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Tommy and Ben are back with a week of war, drama over an international bridge, and an angry Norwegian World Cup fan.First up, the guys say farewell to the ceasefire between Iran and the US, hello to a new forever war, and analyze how a rushed, sloppily worded agreement negotiated by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff collapsed. The New York Times reveals the details of Israel's embarrassing failed plot to install former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as Iran's new president, including a fake climate conference in Budapest and a Mossad extraction plan. Trump is using questions about the new Qatari gifted Air Force One to attack reporters and a $4.7 billion bridge connecting Detroit to Canada is at the center of another Trump corruption story. In Venezuela, the earthquake death toll has climbed to nearly 4,500, and reporting confirms that Marco Rubio is essentially running the country from Washington. A Cambridge University study reveals that Boko Haram fighters have been using AI chatbots to design explosives and plan attacks. After the NATO summit in Turkey, President Erdogan gave every leader a vintage pistol with live ammo as a parting gift, and a single Norwegian man calls out the historical inaccuracies of the row by World Cup fans. Then Ben speaks to Congressman Ro Khanna about his trip to the West Bank and his detention by Israeli settlers.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Larry Elder and Bryan Dean Wright about Elon Musk explaining to Joe Rogan the real dark reason that Democrats like Gavin Newsom, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton changed their minds on open borders and immigration policy; the underlying source of the dangerous teenage flash mobs like the one that severely damaged businesses around Newport Beach, California, that everyone is too afraid to discuss; Spencer Pratt's latest video attacking Gavin Newsom for weakening the integrity of California elections; Andrew Gillum, the Democrat who almost beat Ron DeSantis in the race for governor of Florida, getting arrested for drug possession; how Democrats like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Ro Khanna were too blinded by power to see all the early warning signs of the dangers of supporting someone like Graham Platner; the dangers of Donald Trump escalating the Iran War with his plans to take over Kharg Island; and much more.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Rediscovering Americanism explains that the Declaration of Independence is the essence of Americanism. What would the Founding Fathers think of today's America? Do Americans truly appreciate liberty, civil society, republicanism, and prosperity or fear their loss? Look at Zohran Mamdani, who has contributed nothing substantial to America. Mandani's anti-American speech was a string of Marxist propaganda slogans about trillionaires amid hunger, monopolies and oligarchs, wealth created by laborers' hard hands yet held by special interests' soft hands, and supremacy for a select few instead of equality. People don't care about the identities or backgrounds of those who produce goods and services, they only want quality and value. Capitalism is the least racist, oligarchical, and discriminatory system. Also, we will politically fight the Marxists, Islamists, and the Woke Reich neo-fascists. We need to push the strength of constitutional conservatives and fire up the base to reclaim the country now. Later, another woman has come forward with allegations against Graham Platner, this time accusing him of sexual assault. Platner denies the allegations, saying they're politically motivated, yet the woman says she held off coming forward because she agrees with him politically. Will Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna continue to support Platner? Just like the silence when women are assaulted by illegal aliens then let go in sanctuary cities, apparently sexual assault by a socialist is not of interest to the Democratic Party. Yet these same Dems were outraged over the Kavanaugh allegations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
