Chuck Todd reflects on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination and what it reveals about America's dangerously fractured politics. He explores how social media algorithms, outrage media, and polarized incentive structures are fueling political violence, with 150 politically motivated attacks already in 2025. From the dangers of cancel culture to the unwillingness of both parties to police their own extremes, Chuck argues that disagreements must stop being treated as existential threats if democracy is to function. He also considers the role of leaders like Spencer Cox, the failures of Biden and Trump to unify, and why regulating big tech and breaking out of ideological silos may be the clearest path back to a healthier, more honest political discourse.Then, former U.S. Ambassador and Reagan White House veteran Frank Lavin joins to reflect on the state of American politics and what lessons might be drawn from Ronald Reagan's presidency. From Reagan's approach to bipartisanship and his handling of foreign policy, to Trump's transactional style and fixation on deference, Lavin weighs in on how today's leaders measure up against the conservative legacy of the past. He explores what governing responsibly looks like in a narrowly divided nation and why Reagan's emphasis on free trade and coalition-building still matters.The conversation stretches from historical “what ifs”—like whether Reagan would have risen without Ford's pardon of Nixon—to the present-day challenges of Ukraine, China, and the role of U.S. alliances in Asia. Lavin also tackles questions of Trump's political lineage, whether there's an heir to Trumpism, and how both parties are struggling with trade, borders, and identity. With insights from inside the Reagan administration and a sharp eye on today's divisions, Lavin offers a wide-angle view on conservatism, leadership, and what the future of American politics might hold.Finally, on “This week in history” Chuck remembers Washington's farewell address and why it perfectly meets the current moment in U.S. politics, answer questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and gives his week 3 college football roundup.Got injured in an accident?

Oregon Update --Is a special commentary from KRBN Internet news talk radio at 10:18 p.m. Pacific Time with Obama winning the electoral college at 303-203.   It is quite interesting that looking at the electoral map of how many red states that there are and comparing it to the actual popular vote that the electoral College went the way it did.   At this time, Mitt Romney has already offered his concession speech and interesting enough, Donald Trump, the Donald, the one who recently offered $5 million for a copy of Obama's transcript and played a little game with America hinting that he himself might be running for president and only to be promoting his TV show, but the apprentice, calling for a revolution and that we should march on Washington and stop this travesty, and of course take another look at the electoral college.   In this commentary, I cover some of the numbers that are reporting at this time and there is deftly some real examples of what we've been saying on the program for quite some time about not voting for a third party candidate as you are deluding your votes and Ohio is a good example with over 76,000 votes going to a third-party candidate.   It's going to be a very interesting next four years.   How did you vote?  Send us an e-mail tell us what you did, how you felt about the election and your prediction for the future.   Send your e-mails to talk@KRBNradio.com, your phone calls welcome at 646-721-9887.   by the way, Obama was late for his acceptance speech.

BP is likely but not obligated to mention the following: The fact that Mitt Romney's Vice Presidential pick  Paul Ryan used to drive the Oscar Mayer Weiner-mobile The opinion that the weiner-mobile thing is all Romney/Ryan have going The notion that actually Nolan Ryan would have been a much better pick and the confused perception held by many that voting for Democrats and Republicans ever got any of us anywhere

Democrats run the economy better, Republicans run as Ayn (Ain) Rand, and a DNC spokesman says, “I’d rather be us than them.” Jere Glover Jere Glover is a Washington attorney and a small business expert. He also has looked into official government statistics about the economy and, guess what … in Democratic administration, the economy and business investment are robust. Under Republicans, the economy and business investment go down. http://www.seidmanlaw.com/ Jennifer Burns Everyone is talking about the godmother of economic selfishness, author Ayn Rand, now that one of her disciples, Paul Ryan, could become vice president. Professor Jennifer Burns has written a Rand biography, “Goddess of the Market,” and says rather than a dream come true, the Romney-Ryan ticket would be Rand’s worst nightmare. http://www.jenniferburns.org/   Brad Woodhouse Bill Press interviews Brad Woodhouse, spokesman for the Democratic National Committee. http://www.billpressshow.com/ http://www.democrats.org/

Slate's Political Gabfest, featuring David Plotz, John Dickerson and Emily Bazelon. This week: Romney/Ryan makes its case, fact-checkers are rebuffed and Charlotte looms. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In his speech accepting the GOP nomination, Mitt Romney tried to present his "human" side, rally the base and reach out to swing voters. Did he pull it off?

The boys are back together in the DC studio for a fun new show that covers Prince Harry's naked romp in Vegas; Mattel is releasing their first drag queen Barbi; Snooki pops out a baby; Calvin Klein's ex-boytoy is writing a tell-all book; Kid Rock loves Romney-Ryan; and, Salt Lake City still hates the gays. Then, Scott chats with the one-and-only Frenchie Davis. This talented, enterprising singer, former Broadway star, and American Idol and The Voice contestant, has her first solo album of dance tracks coming out September 4--including the first single, Love's Got a Hold On Me--she's working on a Christmas album, and she's creating her own line of plus-size lingerie. Girl has a lot going on! We especially liked her remembrances of her four year stint in Rent on Broadway and what it meant for her social life, for one. Hear the Frenchie chat at the 28:50 minute mark of the show. And after a short tease of Frenchie's new song, we've got the latest crazy parody from Sherry Vine. As you might have guessed, Sherry took the Scissor Sister's Let's Have a Kiki and made it into, Let's Have a Pee Pee. All that, plus we remind you that you have until September 10 at 5:00pm EST to sign up for our C-IN2 GRIP Athletic prize pack giveaway and we'll tell you what we have on tap for Labor Day weekend. We hope you dig this fun new episode!

Good morning and welcome to the Seriouside of the jril show.  We will be discussing the following topics: 1st Segment:  The 6 yr old rapper.  Why aren't his parents in jail? 2nd Segment:  The Republicans war on Women 3rd Segment: Buyer's Remorse?  Does Mitt Romney regard adding Paul Ryan to the republican presidential ticket?    

Chris is joined by co-host Herb Montgomery and frequent guest Mike Burton with the Mortgage Minute on this week's "Something More." Some of the topics included in this week's discussion include: -Lessons to learn when choosing an advisor after North Attleboro's John Pacini is being investigated for fraud by Secretary Galvin's Office - Market Conditions- going higher or due for a drop? -Jobless rate and effect on the election -Politics: Fighting for the middle class, social justice vs. limited government, and the great Medicare debate

Chris and Co-host Susan Huettner are joined this week by Jeff Perry to discuss Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate. Is this a risky or reasonable choice on Mitt Romney's part? Listeners call in with their views on this week's "Something More."

We're sensing a shift in momentum over the past week, one that clearly favors Romney & Ryan — as Obama & Biden appear to be running against the wind, or rather a windfall of bad statistics on employment, mounting debt, and rising prices. Could just be the hot air from Vice President Joe Biden, the preternatural one-man gaffe machine, who appears to be taking his haplessness to the next level. Will Obama keep him on the ticket? We certainly hope so. This Sunday we'll feature we two terrific guests—Roger Kimball, editor of the New Criterion and one of America's foremost cultural critics, about his new book “The Fortunes of Permanence: Culture and Anarchy in an Age of Amnesia.” Kimball's nimble intellect will match his wit as we discuss the prospects for the survival of Western culture. Kyle Forti will tell us about Media Trackers hot-off-the-presses stories about the wage gap in the General Assembly between Democrat women and their male co-workers, along with State Senator Linda Newell's apparent campaign finance violations. We want to know what's going on. We'll also talk about how Paul Ryan continues to energize the GOP ticket. He is having a substantive impact on the campaign, especially on the blockbuster issue of Medicare. We'll say farewell to Helen Gurley Brown, the notorious long-time editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, discuss the recent violence directed at the conservative Family Research Council, and take our proverbial hats off to the court decision upholding the Pennsylvania Voter ID law. PLUS: Are real books better than e-books? What's this about a restaurant giving discounts to diners who leave their cell phones at the door? And what are we to make of Bill Gates' new focus on toiletry? Don't miss the hard hitting commentary and hot bumper music. In honor of Vice President Biden, we'll be playing our favorite songs about “chains.” Tune in to 710 KNUS or 1460 KZNT Colorado Springs or online at www.710knus.com from 5 to 8 PM.

As it gets closer to Election Week in November, the Campaigns of both the Romney/Ryan and Obama/Biden tickets are getting personal.  Attacks are coming from left and right and the PACS and SuperPACS are relentless.  Is Obama really a Socialist and/or Communist?  Will 4 more years be the last 4 years of America as we knew it? Did Romney really have a secret fundraising meeting with a known Cocaine Dealer?  Is Romney/Ryan planning on gutting Medicare for something more appealing to the rich? Tune in to the Graveyard Shift for the only place for the REAL Truth!  This SATURDAY Night, August 17th, 9:30 PM EST.  

Good Morning and welcome to the Seriouside of the jril show.  This morning, we will be discussing the following topics: 1ST SEGMENT:  Are police officers above the law? 2ND SEGMENT: Voter suppression-why is this allowed in the US and is this a modern version of the POLE TAX? 3RD SEGMENT:  What a difference a week makes! Are republicans regret the Romney/Ryan ticket? 

Well, we didn't stick to script, AGAIN. Let's see; we didn't discuss the lawsuit with Congress and DOJ, and we didn't quite get to the Dream Act either. Oh well. We did discuss The Romney-Ryan ticket, Libertarians and the Tea Party. We also touched on the RNC and Ron Paul Delegates. Then, It was time for Professor Clint to hold class. This weeks class: How the Democrats have hijacked the Civil Rights Movement from the Republicans, and we have Uncle Joe Biden to thank for that discussion. Oh, and bonus time...Clint loses it on a caller who had no facts, didn't listen, but called anyway to tell us we were wrong. Finally, we end with another call and the housing market crash. What in the hell happened? Who's in charge? Really? All that and two visits from everyone's favorite grumpy old man, Rooster from www.conservativeoutcry.net.
