To hear eps as originally intended, please listen on the Patreon or Substack.We're picking back up our brief, alternative history of American class violence, the anticommunist apparatus, and anti-syndicalist dynamite false flags, much wider spread than even I would have realized, this time honing in on a number of rhyming, causal & effective deep events rippling down the welded wrought iron links of the anchor chain of history, largely Chicago and Milwaukee concentric sagas of strike action and counterinsurgent reactions by the capitalist powers that be.File today's episode under: the Haymarket Affair; the Bay View Massacre at the North Chicago Rolling Mills steel foundry that left at least seven Polish, German, and Native workers dead the day following the bloodbath in the Windy City; the 8 Hour Work Day movement; the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions (FOTLU), precursor to AFL; the snake Samuel Gompers; Milwaukee Central Labor Union socialist Paul Grottkau; Catholic Church Knights of Labor's Robert Shilling; Gov. Rusk; "shoot to kill" orders; Cpt. Treaumer muttering "halt" orders under his breath; the N. Chi Rolling Mills into Illinois Steel Company and then rolled up into US Steel come J.P. Morgan's Carnegie and otherwise monopolistic consolidation; Kosciusko Militia; FOTLU and Gomper's feud with the Knights of Labor; the labor significance of the phrase "amalgamated" (formed of individual craft unions) and what this says about ST protagonist Hicks McTaggart's work as strikebreaking PI for UNamalgamated Ops; Pynchon gets real Hobsbawmian, Gramscian, and Adamic-ian with it; "Haymarket FRAME-UP job"; explicitly references Bay View and Rolling Mills; Debs Rebellion; Pullman Strike; Henry Clay Frick nearly merc-ed by Berkman; the Gov. Steunenberg dynamiting; Big Bill Haywood's framing close shave; James McParland; Harry Orchard's confessions under duress; Pinkerton's; more US Steel; Mine Owners Association; Clarence Darrow; WFM; Wobblies; the McNamara Affair, the LA Times Building Bombing, and brothers J.J. and J.B.; surprise guilty pleas kneecapping the Job Harriman socialist mayoral candidacy in LA; spies catch Darrow bribing jurors?; Propaganda of the Deed comes to Milwaukee... or maybe not; the Italian Evangelical Church; ex-Catholic priest Rev. August Giuliani, MPD and BOI/DOJ informant; rabble rousing in the Third Ward, singing jingoistic songs, proselytizing to Catholics (which they didn't take kindly to from an apostate priest cum Protestant), and offering to pay for any anti-war anarchists or leftists of varying stripes' return tickets to the boot of Italy, all painting a picture of the gadfly pastor acting on behalf of federal law enforcement and local business interests with his troublemaking in the Ward; faced down by anarchists like Maria Nardini; the Bay View Riots, multiple Italian immigrant residents of Cream City killed by officers of the law with false flag violence (Antonio Fornasier and August Marinelli killed in the fray); the Milwaukee Station House Bombing of 1917; the comedy of errors; single deadliest day for law enforcement in American history up until 9/11; the curious lag in MPD response to the bomb's arrival at Giuliani's church; the claim the IMOPIO or infernal machine was anarchist made being sourced from BOI agent Julius Brown and possibly a Milwaukee congressman by way of MPD Capt. John T. Sullivan; the Galleanisti, followers of anarcho-communist Deed-Propagandist and advocate of various nitroglycerin and lead means for affecting change, squarely in the crosshairs; and much much more, breadcrumb trails we'll resume tracing next time.

In diesem exklusiven AUF1-Interview spricht Elsa Mittmannsgruber mit Marie-Christine Giuliani, einer der bekanntesten ehemaligen Gesichter des Österreichischen Rundfunks. Heute ist die ausgebildete Psychotherapeutin Nationalratsabgeordnete der FPÖ und Sprecherin für Petitionen und Bürgerinitiativen. Giuliani erklärt, warum sie sich nach ihrer langen Medienkarriere zunehmend kritisch mit den Systemmedien auseinandersetzte und was sie schließlich in die Politik führte.

Today's Headlines: Ukraine's peace talks are… somehow happening. Zelensky has mostly accepted Russia's 28-point plan, with “minor” tweaks, and might swing by the U.S. to finalize it. Meanwhile, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll met Russia's delegation in Abu Dhabi, where Sergey Lavrov warned they won't accept changes that differ from whatever secret “understanding” Trump and Putin supposedly made in Alaska. Over in Venezuela, Trump labeled President Nicolás Maduro the head of a terrorist organization while also planning to call him. The administration insists they're not plotting to “shoot or snatch” him but will continue blowing up drug-running boats.In Brazil, Bolsonaro tried to melt off his ankle monitor with a soldering iron and was re-arrested for attempted escape — yet Trump claims he talked to him “last night” and expects to meet him soon. Unless Trump plans to take a meeting in a Brazilian prison, it looks like Jair was maybe making a break for the U.S. embassy before being forced to start serving his 27-year sentence. Israel reportedly killed Hezbollah's new top commander, Haytham Ali Tabatabai, in Beirut, which would not calm anything down. In other news, newly uncovered documents show NYC knew how toxic the air around Ground Zero was and still let thousands of first responders breathe it in. Almost 10,000 have died from related illnesses. Truly shocking behavior from Rudy Giuliani's New York (said no one). Healthcare premiums are spiking nationwide, and Trump was planning to announce a two-year extension of Obamacare subsidies — until Speaker Mike Johnson told him House Republicans weren't on board. Hope those early retirements come through! The Justice Department wants to unseal grand jury transcripts from the Epstein and Maxwell cases under the new transparency law. And finally, with threats against lawmakers rising, the House is doubling security funding: members will now get $20k a month for personal protection and access to a new silent-alert app. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: CNN: Ukraine talks gain momentum as US and Russian officials meet in Abu Dhabi Axios: Scoop: Trump ready to talk with Maduro over Venezuela drug strikes NYT: How a Sabotaged Ankle Monitor Ended Bolsonaro's House Arrest WSJ: He Was Rebuilding Hezbollah—Until an Israeli Missile Found Him in Beirut NBC New York: FDNY firefighters demand answers on newfound documents detailing toxic dust after 9/11 Reuters: Trump plans to propose extending Obamacare subsidies, report says AP News: Justice Department renews bid to unseal Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury materials Axios: U.S. House ramps up security as lawmakers' fears rise Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

Du Népal au Pérou, de Madagascar au Maroc, le drapeau du manga «One Piece» s'est hissé dans les manifestations d'une jeunesse qui a bousculé plusieurs gouvernements. Au Mexique aussi, des dizaines de milliers de personnes sont descendues dans la rue en se réclamant de la «Génération Z», le 15 novembre 2025. Mais ce mouvement est-il réellement impulsé par les jeunes ? Et quels courants agglomère-t-il ? «C'est une mobilisation extrêmement hétéroclite», explique Hélène Combes, directrice de recherche au CNRS rattachée au CERI (Sciences Po). Le Mexique est un «pays très contestataire, rappelle-t-elle, où se coalisent des acteurs parfois très différents». D'abord, «une frange très marquée à droite», dans la lignée du milliardaire libertarien proche de l'extrême-droite latino-américaine, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, propriétaire de la chaîne TV Azteca. La droite traditionnelle, «beaucoup plus modérée», est bien présente elle aussi, par exemple avec le parti Acción Nacional (PAN). Les jeunes sont une composante de plus de cette mosaïque, mais leur spontanéité est à nuancer. «Un des influenceurs les plus actifs dans le mouvement, qui a appelé à la manifestation, est en fait un salarié du parti Acción Nacional», souligne Hélène Combes. Enfin, le mouvement est aussi composé «de personnes venues de zones rurales prospères», dans l'État du Michoacán, d'où est partie la mobilisation après l'assassinat du maire d'Uruapan, Carlos Manzo, le 1er novembre. L'ensemble forme ainsi un groupe très divers «qui se coalise contre le gouvernement de Claudia Sheinbaum, qui est par ailleurs toujours extrêmement populaire», conclut la chercheuse.   Haïti : sanctionné par les États-Unis, Fritz Alphonse Jean se défend En Haïti, des officiels continuent d'être la cible de sanctions américaines. Après des anciens présidents, Premiers ministres, parlementaires et hommes d'affaires, c'est au tour de Fritz Alphonse Jean d'être frappé de restrictions par Washington pour ses liens supposés avec les gangs, explique le correspondant de RFI à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama. Des accusations que Fritz Alphonse Jean, ancien Gouverneur de la Banque Centrale, rejette, a-t-il expliqué lors d'une conférence de presse ce mardi (25 novembre 2025). Il a reçu le soutien de certains membres de la classe politique, à commencer par Claude Joseph. Cet ancien Premier ministre par intérim (2021) dénonce une ingérence étrangère, rapporte Gazette Haïti. Il parle même de «représailles diplomatiques», qui viseraient à punir Fritz Alphonse Jean d'avoir voulu pousser vers la sortie le Premier ministre de transition, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé. Mais ce scénario n'est pas nouveau, prévenait mardi Frantz Duval dans Le Nouvelliste : «Cela fait plus de vingt ans que les États-Unis [tiennent] par les visas les [...] politiciens haïtiens», écrit-il. Avant de prévenir : «la classe politique, qui, hier, demandait [des] sanctions contre des adversaires peut, [le] lendemain, devenir la cible de ces mêmes sanctions».   Jair Bolsonaro incarcéré, symptôme d'une consolidation de la démocratie brésilienne ? Au Brésil, Jair Bolsonaro a commencé officiellement sa peine de 27 ans de prison pour tentative de coup d'État. La Cour Suprême a confirmé ce mardi qu'il a épuisé tous les recours judiciaires. Alors s'agit-il d'un «nouveau départ pour la démocratie brésilienne ?», se demande Folha de Sao Paulo. L'incarcération de Jair Bolsonaro, ancien président, mais aussi celle de hauts gradés de l'armée est un fait «historique» dans ce «pays de coups d'État impunis», se félicite le journal. Il s'agit même d'un symptôme de «consolidation de la démocratie», renchérit O Globo. La conclusion de Folha est toutefois moins optimiste : «les réformes manquent» encore pour mieux prévenir d'autres tentatives de coup d'État à l'avenir, conclut le journal. À lire aussiBrésil: l'ex-président Jair Bolsonaro commence à purger ses 27 ans de prison ferme pour tentative de putsch   Donald Trump et les grâces présidentielles... de dindes C'est une tradition aux États-Unis, le président a gracié ce mardi (25 novembre 2025) deux dindes, qui ne seront donc pas mangées lors de la fête de Thanksgiving, jeudi 27 novembre. Le président-milliardaire en a profité pour faire de l'évènement une tribune politique. «Trump informe une dinde de tout ce qu'il a accompli», titre le Washington Post, qui s'en donne à cœur joie. «Imaginez, [...] vous avez une belle vie en Caroline du Nord, [...] vous mangez du maïs et passez du temps dehors. [...] Puis, on vous emmène à Washington, [...] et un mec aux cheveux dorés se met à parler très fort de «démocrates d'extrême gauche» et de [prison] au Salvador.» Évidemment, la dinde n'y comprend rien, précise le quotidien, qui ne résiste pas à l'envie de rappeler que Donald Trump n'a pas gracié que des volatiles depuis le début de son mandat. Il a aussi accordé une grâce à près de 1 500 personnes impliquées dans l'assaut du Capitole du 6 janvier 2021. Et gracié certains de ses proches, comme l'ancien maire de New York, Rudy Giuliani, ancien avocat de Donald Trump.   Dans le journal de La 1ère... Dans l'ouest de la Guyane, le nombre de sites d'orpaillage illégal ne recule pas. C'est le triste constat des responsables du Parc Amazonien, explique Benoît Ferrand.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Noelle Dunphy, the whistleblower whose lawsuit exposed shocking allegations of abuse, coercion, and corruption inside Rudy Giuliani's inner circle. Noelle details the drinking, threats, sexual misconduct, and political power plays she says Giuliani used to control and intimidate those around him. Together, we break down how Giuliani leveraged Trump for protection, the “insurance files” he claimed to hold, and the culture of impunity that shielded him for years. This is a raw, revealing conversation about power, manipulation, and what really went on behind the scenes with “America's Mayor.” Check out Noelle's Substack here: https://noelledunphy.substack.com/ Thanks to our sponsors: iRestore: Reverse hair loss with @iRestorelaser and unlock HUGE savings on the iRestore Elite with the code COHEN at https://www.irestore.com/COHEN IndaCloud: If you're 21 or older, get 40% OFF your first order + free shipping @IndaCloud with code COHEN at https://inda.shop/COHEN #indacloudpod Ethos: Get your FREE quote at https://ethos.com/COHEN PDS Debt: Start planning today.

Nova York — a cidade que simbolizou o capitalismo mundial, o consumo, a liberdade e o sonho americano — acaba de eleger um prefeito socialista e muçulmano: Zohran Mamdani. Neste episódio, Ricardo Gomes analisa o significado político e simbólico dessa vitória para os Estados Unidos e para o Ocidente. Como o coração do capitalismo global se tornou um reduto do discurso antiamericano? O programa percorre a história de Nova York — da decadência dos anos 80 à revitalização com Giuliani, do 11 de Setembro à atual guinada progressista — para entender como o Partido Democrata se radicalizou e por que essa vitória pode ser, na prática, uma “vitória de Pirro”.

In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Mahler, author of The Gods of New York, to explore the four years that transformed America's greatest city—and foretold the divisions that would come to define the nation.From Wall Street's boom to the crack epidemic, from Howard Beach to the Central Park jogger case, from ACT UP to Spike Lee, the New York of 1986–1989 was a city teeming with conflict, creativity, and change. Mahler paints a vivid portrait of a metropolis at war with itself: between greed and grit, privilege and poverty, rebirth and decay.Together, we discuss how this pivotal era gave rise to figures like Donald Trump, Al Sharpton, Ed Koch, and Rudy Giuliani—and why the battles of 1980s New York still echo in today's America.Support the show

Londinium 91 AD: Corruption and the Imperial Slip. Gaius and Germanicus shift attention to Washington, observing that wealth has grown more powerful than government in the U.S., similar to Rome's path into empire. Evidence includes Washington insiders like Rudy Giuliani and Hunter Biden allegedly operating on payrolls of corrupt foreign interests such as the Democratic Republic of Congo. Republicans typically avoid registering foreign work under the Foreign Agents Registration Act by using cutouts or undocumented money, while Democrats use think tanks during interregnums, making the process so transparent it suggests everybody's in on the game. Insiders are even willing to work for adversaries like sanctioned Russian arms makers or the Taliban under the justification of private diplomacy. Germanicusanalyzes this decline through three vantages: the Gilded Age, where corporations owned government but lacked today's foreign entanglement; foreign penetration, where adversaries and allies like Israel, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia have enormous leverage; and irreconcilable ideological conflict, where corruption fuels severe ideological struggle tearing away the rule of law. They conclude that the transition into an emperor system is subtle and happens without notice, weakening the system when corruption damages trust. SULLA

President Trump put his signature on a bill that will fund the government through the end of January. The bill brought an end to a 43-day shutdown of the federal government. A group of eight Democratic senators negotiated with Senate Majority leader John Thune to get concessions for furloughed and laid off government workers, and the funding of several federal agencies. The deal did not include the extensions for healthcare subsidies that had become a key messaging point for Democrats throughout the shutdown. Will working out a deal without a big win hurt the political leverage the party seemed to be building? What will it mean for the position of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer?Next, Congress turns back to the Epstein files, with new emails emerging that appeared damning for President Trump. The president signed off on several pardons this week. Among those receiving the pardons were Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows and other members of the president's inner circle who faced scrutiny for their roles in undermining the 2020 election. None of the 70 individuals pardoned were facing federal charges. So what was the point? Does the pardon process need a facelift? The Supreme Court rejected the appeal of a Kentucky county clerk who wanted them to reconsider the landmark same-sex marriage case Obergefell v. Hodges. Concerns on the left about the case's standing were high after the court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. KCRW discusses why Obergefell may not be overturned anytime soon, and answers a question from a listener looking for insight from last week's election margins.

John Darkow - PoliticalCartoons.com On this week's show... The federal government shutdown is over for now, but the debate on healthcare rages on. Michigan Democrats, led by Senators Peters and Slotkin, have harsh words for the 7 Democrats who voted with Republicans to end the 41-day shutdown without any guaranteed continuation of healthcare insurance subsidies. The Republican bill includes a potential onetime $500,000 or more bonus for 8 Senators investigated as part of the January 6 insurrection (Lindsey Graham says he'll sue for millions!) The White House calls the newly released Epstein emails part of a Democratic Party hoax – that there's nothing there – but Trump is doing all he can to keep the files secret, and redirect the story to investigations of retirees like Bill Clinton and Larry Summers. The U.S. House will vote on a full release of all the files in early December. Donald Trump basically admits widespread law-breaking by his reelection team, issuing federal pardons to 71 of his minions – even though they haven't been federally charged. And the pardons don't save folks like Giuliani and Meadows from possible state criminal charges. The looming increases in health insurance premiums has convinced four companies to pull out of the Michigan market.  Former Congressman Mike Rogers thought he had a free ride to the GOP nomination for U.S. Senator, but there's a new candidate who could make the next 9 months a lot more difficult for him. Former Michigan Republican Party co-chair Bernadette Smith starts with more than a little support from the party's MAGA base.  Rogers is now saying the 2024 election was stolen from him but providing no proof.  And there's the story of two presidential grandkids extending family traditions: JFK's grandson, Jack Schlossberg, extends the family tradition by running for Congress in New York … in a district that includes Trump Tower. Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai, is extending a different family tradition: she's playing golf, making her LPGA debut as an invited golfer in the LPGA Annika Tournament. Sadly, after the 2nd round she was dead last (18 over par) and missed the cut

Georgia's high-profile election interference case is moving forward under new leadership after the removal of Fani Willis.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Natalie Orpett, Eric Columbus, and Molly Roberts, to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“I Don't Think You're Ready for the Shutdown.” The record-setting shutdown of the U.S. government is set to come to an end after eight Democratic senators agreed to a continuing resolution that will fund all of the government through January 30, certain chunks of the government all the way through the end of the fiscal year, and made a number of concessions along the way. What should we make of this deal, and what are the political ramifications—particularly for Democrats, many of whom are quite angry at those who ultimately voted for this plan?“Overt Acts.” Last week, in a move quite publicly celebrated by his controversial clemency czar Ed Martin, President Trump issued pardons for dozens of individuals accused of participating in efforts to manipulate the results of the 2020 election in his favor, including his former attorney Rudy Giuliani and other alleged “unindicted co-conspirators” in his own, since-abandoned federal criminal prosecution. Indeed, Trump himself was the only one who was federally indicted for 2020 election manipulations, making the most immediate legal effect of these pardons unclear. What is Trump trying to accomplish in issuing them? And what could the ramifications be for future elections?“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” Even as his prosecutions against James Comey and Letitia James have faced headwinds, the Trump administration appears to be moving full speed ahead with criminal investigations against other of his perceived enemies—including a large-scale investigation into government reports alleging Russian support for Trump in 2016 that was recently transferred from Justice Department officials in Eastern Pennsylvania to the more Trump-friendly terrain of Southern Florida. What is the current state of the revenge campaign the Trump administration has been pursuing, and where does it seem set to lead?In object lessons, Natalie is appreciating both “The History of the New Yorkers Vaunted Fact Checking Department” and the small army of neurotic geniuses who march forward in pursuit of journalistic integrity. Eric is appreciating The Week Junior, his daughter's favorite magazine that proves real journalism isn't just for grown-ups. Scott is appreciating The Far Side's online presence, updated daily—a reminder that the line between journalism and cartooning is always thinner than we'd like to admit. And Molly is appreciating an “illuminating” visit to Glenstone, where Jenny Holzer's art reads like journalism etched in light, documenting the lingering shadows of some dark subjects.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Scott is appreciating The Far Side's online presence, updated daily—a reminder that the line between journalism and cartooning is always thinner than we'd like to admit. And Molly is appreciating an “illuminating” visit to Glenstone, where Jenny Holzer's art reads like journalism etched in light, documenting the lingering shadows of some dark subjects.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

“Leave aside the cruelty of not giving these funds out,” Andrew says, reflecting on the SNAP benefits case now before the Supreme Court. “What does it say that we're not prioritizing hunger as an issue?” Then, Mary brings listeners up to speed on the dizzying chain of events since Friday and where the SNAP case stands, even as the Senate and House appear to be moving towards reopening the government. And in honoring Veterans Day, Mary and Andrew dig into several issues affecting service members, including the latest filing in Trump v Illinois, and how to think about the term "regular forces", plus Judge Immergut's final order prohibiting the National Guard deployment in Portland. And finally, Just Security's co-editor in chief, Tess Bridgeman, joins to analyze what the law says— and doesn't say-- about blowing up boats in international waters without a clear justification or congressional authorization.Further reading: Judge Wolf's piece in The Atlantic: Why I Am Resigning.

After pardoning the 1500 people who committed crimes at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, Trump has now pardoned 77 others - including lawyers like Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro and others who tried to help Trump retain the presidency despite losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden. What message is Trump sending to those he pardoned? Might he be using it as a recruiting tool for what he'd like to see happen in upcoming elections? Glenn sat down with his friend and fellow legal analyst Dave Aronberg to discuss the nature and implications of Trump's new Jan. 6th pardons.

On Monday, U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin announced that President Donald Trump had pardoned several top aides and advisers from his first administration, as well as dozens of people involved in his efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election. Those receiving pardons include President Trump's former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, adviser Boris Epshteyn, and attorneys Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, and Sidney Powell. None of the recipients has been charged with a federal crime, but the pardon will protect them from future prosecution related to the 2020 election (though they can still be prosecuted at the state level).

Late Sunday, while most eyes were on the Senate's shutdown negotiations, the Trump administration was busy rewriting the history of the 2020 election.Just before midnight, a Justice Department lawyer posted a list on X of dozens of the president's top allies and former aides who'd received pardons related to their efforts to overturn that election.Among them are Trump's former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani; Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows; and Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor who tried to overturn election results in key swing states and spread false claims of widespread voting machine fraud.What do these pardons do? And how is the president using the Justice Department to shield those closest to him from future legal consequences?Find more of our programs online.

Donald Trump just issued 77 pardons, including for six individuals who were unindicted co-conspirators in Trump's federal criminal indictment for his efforts to steal the 2020 presidential election. Trump has now pardoned Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Jeffrey Clark, Kenneth Chesebro, Boris Epstein, Jenna Ellis, Mark Meadows and many others. This feels like a recruiting effort by Trump. He seems to be calling all insurrectionists to join him in future efforts to interfere in America's elections, sending the signal that he will pardon them if they join his criminal conspiracy.

A vote to finally end the government shutdown could come tonight. The question now: has democratic support for the move started a war within the party?

In Episode 5 of Mafia States of America, the bosses dissect the fall. From the RICO Act to Joe Banano's book that gave prosecutors their blueprint, Patrick Bet-David unpacks how Giuliani weaponized the law and crushed Cosa Nostra. Sammy and Michael face the truth of how greed, pride, and arrogance ended the life they once ruled.----

Today's Headlines: The government shutdown drags on, and Trump's threatening to dock pay for absent air traffic controllers while offering $10K bonuses to the ones still working. Meanwhile, over 3,000 flights were delayed, and courts once again ruled that the administration has to pay full SNAP benefits (even after Trump told states to undo them). In his downtime, Trump pardoned Rudy Giuliani and 76 other allies tied to the 2020 election plot, and a whistleblower claims Ghislaine Maxwell is getting “concierge treatment” in prison while seeking a commutation. Elsewhere, Trump met with Syria's new president—once labeled a terrorist—and lifted sanctions, all while his defense secretary bragged about more U.S. strikes. The Supreme Court shut down Kim Davis's attempt to overturn marriage equality, a judge blocked Trump's National Guard deployments to Portland protests, and a grand jury subpoenaed former intel officials from the Mueller era. Trump also ordered the DOJ to investigate meatpacking monopolies as beef prices spike 13%, Italy's pasta exporters are ditching the U.S. over 107% tariffs (justice for spaghetti), and TikTok Shop just hit $19 billion in sales—matching eBay.

Today on Joe Oltmann Untamed, we expose the deep rot within America's institutions, from the ongoing government shutdown and the betrayal of the American people to the weaponization of foreign aid programs against U.S. sovereignty. President Trump's recent pardons of Republican operatives—including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Mark Meadows, and others—highlight a justice system at odds with fairness and truth, while the saga of Tina Peters and the JAN 6 pipe bomber underscores the corruption and selective enforcement plaguing the DOJ and FBI. With Senate action bringing the 40-day government shutdown closer to resolution, the nation watches as political maneuvering continues to override accountability.Dr. William J. Federer joins to reveal how socialist ideologies have infiltrated U.S. institutions over the past century, from universities to media to government, exploiting cultural and moral decay to consolidate power. He connects America's shift from religious tolerance to hostility against foundational Christian values with the rise of state-controlled narratives, the dismantling of the nuclear family, and the broader attacks on free speech. Through historical insight and biblical principles, Federer outlines the urgent battles Americans face in education, elections, and economics, offering a roadmap to reclaim liberty and restore the moral fabric of the Republic.The program also examines societal decay in real time, from the Olympics banning transgender athletes from female events to liberal policies enabling crime and fraud, all while special-interest groups exploit crises like COVID and immigration for personal gain. The show culminates in a hard-hitting exposé of domestic “color revolution” tactics, targeting the downfall of America. Viewers are called to action: demand justice, prosecute those plotting sedition, and hold every enabler accountable. Joe Oltmann Untamed  is your front-row seat to the fight for America—and the roadmap for how citizens can take a stand before it's too late.

Politician & Son of Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Andrew Giuliani, calls into the show this morning to talk about positive news regarding his father Rudy Giuliani, gratitude for military veterans, and the enduring legacy of 9/11. Andrew reflects on his father's contributions and the challenges Rudy faced, highlighting the vindication felt after a presidential pardon. The conversation also covers upcoming political races, specifically a contentious Republican primary, and speculates on President Trump's potential influence. Giuliani sheds light on the importance of open and dynamic primaries and reflects on his own campaign experiences. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the Senate took a massive step forward on its way to reopening the government on Sunday with a group of Senate Democrats caving and joining Republicans in their bid to pass a revamped plan to end the shutdown. Signs that the shutdown, which entered its 40th day, could be ending became more and more clear as the day went on particularly with the unveiling of a bipartisan package of spending bills that lawmakers hope to attach to a modified bill to reopen the government. Also SNAP benefits remain un-affected thanks to the President's contingency fund, where we stand with a broken Obamacare and President Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and other key figures allegedly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Also Chuck Schumer loses credibility with his own party and audio from Democratic senators on why they decided to vote to re-open the Government.

 Five more democrat senators (none of whom are in immediate danger of being primaried) cross party lines and approve the republican continuing resolution to reopen the government, infuriating the "Trump is a Fascist" wing of their party. Some progressives call for a Tea Party-style break from old guard democrats as former republican-turned-democrat Joe Walsh reveals to anyone not paying attention: We play political games with your lives for our own survival. Trump pardons Rudy Guiliani, Christina Bobb and 75 others caught up in the democrats' "alternate electors" scam.  

John Catsimatidis, Red Apple Media Owner & Operator, calls into the program for his weekly Monday morning hit to discuss his relief over President Trump's recent pardons of Rudy Giuliani and others. The conversation then shifts to Curtis Sliwa, critiques of media coverage, and the results of political campaigns, specifically regarding the government shutdown's impact on elections in New Jersey and Virginia. Catsimatidis also touches on a controversial decision by the CFIA to cull ostriches in Canada, advocating for an investigation. He emphasizes his support for certain political figures and his ongoing dedication to the WABC audience. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We start the show by getting your reactions to the Senate Democrats who agreed to help Republicans re-open the government. President Trump just gave a pardon to former Mr. Four Seasons Landscaping himself, Rudy Giuliani – along with dozens others – for charges related to trying to overthrow the free and fair 2020 election. We discuss that and more with Brian McGrory, former editor of the Boston Globe and current head of Journalism at Boston University. As the senate makes progress on ending the shutdown, it's still not totally clear when SNAP recipients can expect the return of food assistance. Food policy analyst Corby Kummer explains. Boston Medical Center's Dr. Katherine Gergen Barnett joins with Tamika Jackson, CEO of The Beautiful Way Foundation, to talk racial equity in clinical trials. Ken Oringer is a James Beard-winning chef behind restaurants like Torro and Uni. He's launched a brand-new pasta venture centered around good food and helping employ people with autism, called Chitarra Pastaria. He joins along with team members Miles Mazzotta and Julia Agostino. Then we open the phone lines to talk about decluttering techniques. 

Accused of trying to overturn the U.S. Presidential election in 2020? No worries. Trump is issuing pardons across the board for more than 75 co-defendants charged in connection with an election scheme in Georgia, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Boris Epshteyn, John Eastman and Mark Meadows. Cheating Americans out of having a voice appears to be totally forgivable. The Senate is taking action to move a deal forward that would end the longest US government shutdown in history. A small group of Senators from both parties involved in the talks managed to hammer out a compromise bill that rescinds the layoffs of some federal employees, but notably leaves out healthcare subsidies that were the point of the shutdown in the first place. Several House Democrats have already announced their opposition. Mo 'Kelly returns to sit in for Mark. He'll speak with iHeart TV & radio analyst Gary Dietrich about the particulars of this new Senate deal to end the shutdown and more.The Mark Thompson Show 11/10/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Acting! The Kagro in the Morning Players, Messrs. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, debut the first of their one-act plays: "It's Not So Bad, When You Look at It". Did Dems underreach? Will Gops overreach? Well, that is what they do. Today is for replays and takeaways. It's not over yet, and there's plenty more to come. Now, will Donald K. Trump's next move be cruel, or stupid? Of course, it will be both. Trump can't bribe himself into popularity… not in this economy. ICE'S not yet being welcomed as liberators. Russia hunts civilians with drones, while Pete Hegseth says, "Hold my beer." Trump is being forced to share his food with others, and you can imagine how that makes him feel. The goal is to herd most Americans into ghettos, and the rest into fortresses, perhaps not the future most desire. Kash Patel keeps leaving spies out in the cold. Who needs intelligence when you have loyalty? That sure works for Alexander Smirnov, who was disappeared, but in a good way. Rudy Giuliani and his gang of fake electors got fake pardons they can pin to the walls of their state cells. SCOTUS declined to revisit their same-sex marriage decision filed by OG Karen, Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, because really, no one wants to give her any more time.
