Podcasts about senate democrats

Today's Headlines: The fate of the Traitor Fund remains unknown — Blanche said they're dropping it but won't put it in writing, Trump said he loves it but "ask the lawyers," Senate Democrats tried to force a vote to block it and Republicans voted against the block anyway, and January 6th defendants are already filing claims — while what is confirmed is that Trump is still getting permanent IRS audit immunity for himself and his family regardless. Meanwhile, Trump is officially nominating Todd Blanche — his personal criminal defense attorney — as permanent Attorney General, while Bill Pulte, the family friend with no intelligence experience named as acting DNI, is already being phased out with Trump hinting he'll be tasked with investigating whether past elections were rigged. In slightly more satisfying news, Trump's name is officially coming off the Kennedy Center less than a week after a judge ordered it — off the facade, out of email signatures, and off employee ID cards. In other news, John Bolton pleaded guilty to illegally retaining classified national security documents after Iranian hackers breached his email, agreeing to pay over $2 million with up to 60 months in prison — less revenge prosecution, more bad judgment. And now that Congress is back to work, the House passed a measure cutting food aid for over 5 million pregnant women and children, great. In war updates, Israel and Lebanon announced a ceasefire that Hezbollah immediately rejected because it would ban their operatives from parts of their own country with no maps or implementation details. And finally, a flesh-eating New World screwworm — not seen in US livestock for 60 years — was found in a Texas calf, with quarantines now in place, which is bad timing for beef prices already at record highs.

More stuff happened™; therefore, David Waldman made a KITM to tell us about it. The heist was running so smoothly… The DOJ was to pretend to stop a robbery, the IRS was to hand them the cash out the back door… Split the haul, plenty to go around… Then somebody got greedy. The Trump family wanted a cut of everything, forever. That got everyone's attention, so now things aren't so quiet anymore. The Senate GOP canceled their ICE bill vote over it. House and Senate Democrats are doing something about it. Gop Ralph Norman says that Jan. 6 was staged by Trump haters, except for the ones who were convicted of crimes who are heroes. Gop Thom Tillis says he won't vote for Iran war powers resolution and is against the Jan 6 slush fund because it is bad policy, it's bad timing and it's bad politics. Donald hates that nitpicking. John Thune doesn't know what to do, so he'll just go home. There are no cameras where Gop Tom Kean is… in San Francisco, Las Vegas, and several local banks. A federal judge told the White House personnel to comply with Presidential Records Act. Well, some of them. Some you can't tell anything. Federal prosecutors have dismissed all charges against the "Broadview Six," as it was looking like the lawyers themselves were the ones deserving of going to jail. Judges have ruled against ICE 10,000 times. That isn't enough. There is now a nationwide arrest warrant for an ICE agent, and that isn't enough. It turns out that the Trump Iran war was mostly for Israel and is destroying the world economy, who'd guess? Update: Clavicular has avoided jail time for shooting a dead alligator in public… and no, he wasn't "that" happy to see the verdict, those are actually shopping bags full of soup cans in his pants.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – During a floor debate on constitutionally capping the income tax rate at 3.5%, Senate Democrats proposed letting the state raise income taxes in the event of a federally declared disaster. Republicans pointed out that this would raise taxes on the victims of the disaster, too, and the proposal was killed. Voters will get to decide whether to approve the cap in November. Also, Sen. Val Applewhite thinks a lot of voters are too ignorant to undertand the ballot question.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com  

Hour 4 opens with a heated St. Louis policy debate over proposed water rate increases tied to aging infrastructure funding and the controversial use of Rams settlement money, framed as a broader conflict over fiscal priorities, downtown decline, and whether investment or public safety should drive urban recovery. The hour then shifts to national legal and political pressure points as Shannon Bream previews a major Supreme Court docket covering executive power disputes, election law challenges, and the contested birthright citizenship case, alongside controversy surrounding a proposed anti-weaponization fund and its political implications. Griff Jenkins follows with a live Indy 500 update from Turn 1, blending race coverage with a Memorial Day tribute emphasizing military sacrifice, remembrance, and continued service through figures like Joey Jones. The hour closes with Rep. Byron Donalds delivering a sharp critique of Senate Democrats over Cuba policy and war powers, accusing them of hypocrisy in their public defense of democracy while resisting pressure campaigns against authoritarian regimes.

Senate Democrats get some good news in an unlikely state. Brian interviews LA mayor Karen Bass about her mayoral campaign.Pre-order The Day After: https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/thedayafterWritten 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.

Today's Headlines: Trump touched down in Beijing for his Xi Jinping summit — greeted by a military band and hundreds of children waving flags — while Elon Musk technically skipped his own OpenAI trial to attend as emotional support, despite the judge explicitly not excusing him. On the Iran war, US intelligence assessed that Iran still has operational access to 30 of its 33 missile sites and about 70% of its prewar missile stockpile, which is not what "totally obliterated" means, and for the seventh time Senate Democrats tried to advance a war powers resolution to force a congressional vote on Iran and for the seventh time it failed. On the domestic front, the DOJ is discussing settling Trump's personal tax return lawsuit for up to $10 billion in taxpayer money — potentially including dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses — while the FBI has been running an internal "payback squad" of agents handling cases against Trump's political enemies out of off-site locations for over a year. Trump got his preferred Fed chair with Kevin Warsh confirmed 54-45, the narrowest margin in modern history, and the White House is planning 250 pardons to celebrate America's 250th birthday because of course it is. On the redistricting front, Louisiana senators stayed up all night to advance a map eliminating one of the state's two majority-Black districts, and South Carolina's governor called a special session specifically to pass a new map eliminating Jim Clyburn's seat with a simple majority instead of the usual two-thirds vote. Alligator Alcatraz is closing after costing Florida hundreds of millions in under a year, and Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions were unanimously overturned by South Carolina's Supreme Court after it emerged the court clerk told jurors not to be "fooled" by him — before writing a book about the trial.

Congressional pressure to ensure the integrity of the government's compiled Jeffrey Epstein files has grown alongside efforts to release those records publicly. Survivors of Epstein's sex-trafficking crimes and several Democratic lawmakers have formally asked the Justice Department's inspector general to audit the chain of custody for the Epstein case files, seeking to confirm that none of the records have been tampered with, altered, or withheld before they are disclosed to the public. Advocates including survivors have specifically raised concerns that materials might have been “scrubbed, softened, or quietly removed” prior to their scheduled release, heightening demands for a third-party review to protect transparency and trust in the process.The push comes as part of broader congressional and judicial developments around the release of Epstein-related documents. Recently passed legislation — the Epstein Files Transparency Act — is compelling the Department of Justice to make unclassified grand jury records and investigative materials publicly accessible by mid-December, and federal judges have begun ordering the unsealing of transcripts from both Epstein's 2019 case and related investigations, including those involving Ghislaine Maxwell. These moves reflect bipartisan political focus on exposing the full scope of Epstein's operations and addressing past secrecy, while also fueling debates in Congress and the public about ensuring that the files released are complete, authentic, and untouched.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein survivors and Senate Democrats ask for audit to determine if Epstein files have been "tampered with" - CBS News

Sign up for The Israel Guys Show Notes: https://theisraelguys.com/subscribe/ Covering some of the biggest developments shaping Israel and the region right now, as questions circulate about whether Israel, and even the United States, are achieving their objectives in the current war, we dig into what "victory" really would look like and reflect on the deeper idea of the meaning through the lens of Israel's Memorial and Independence Days.  We also break down renewed diplomatic movements, including historic U.S.-hosted talks between Israel and Lebanon, the first of their kind in decades, alongside rising tensions as Hezbollah opposes negotiations and Turkey's President Erdoğan issues aggressive warnings about potential military intervention on Israeli soil. We also cover major internal and global developments impacting Israel: as U.S. Senate Democrats increasingly oppose arms sales to Israel, a controversial case involving an IDF reservist who was detained after killing a Hamas operative in Samaria, and new immigration data showing tens of thousands of Jews continuing to make aliyah despite ongoing conflict. With regional instability, shifting alliances, and ideological battles intensifying, even as a new generation of Israeli youth are grabbing hold of Jewish identity in a way not seen for thousands of years. This episode challenges viewers to look beyond headlines and connect with the reality on the ground in Israel.

He details the political challenges from Senate Democrats and some rural Republicans, highlights recent controversial library policies in Francis Howell schools, and emphasizes the importance of broader conservative engagement. Schnelting also touches on his Show-Me Prosperity Fund, aiming to eventually eliminate state-imposed taxes in Missouri.

Ralph welcomes international security expert Paul Rogers to discuss the US-Israeli war on Iran. Then, Ralph speaks to constitutional law experts Bruce Fein and John Bonifaz about their upcoming impeachment symposium.Paul Rogers is Emeritus Professor of Peace Studies in the Department of Peace Studies and International Relations at Bradford University, and an Honorary Fellow at the Joint Service Command and Staff College. He is open Democracy's international security correspondent.I think if you look at the war overall, then essentially of the three (I use the term as a crude term) participants, the one that is basically doing most badly is the United States, followed by Israel, followed least by Iran. Relatively speaking, the Iranians (particularly the Revolutionary Guard Corps) are closer to where they wanted to be, which is not true of the United States and certainly isn't true to a very large extent of the Israelis as well. In other words, the war is going badly. for the people who are determined to try and defeat Iran.Paul RogersPeople tend to think Iran is on its own against these huge odds. Well, it isn't. In many ways, certainly Russia and certainly China have a real interest in what is happening. But as far as China is concerned, they will not help directly. They will not, in other words, as far as we know, arm Iran without payment. They will see them as a reasonable customer. I think (more widely than we realize) as far as you get away from D.C., then I think you see the world in a rather different way, particularly across the global south it is certainly seen in a different way…And I would come back to a point which I think is a fair point made earlier—essentially, the Iranian Republican Revolutionary Guard Corps has been working towards this time for decades. And they will not be easily dislodged. It could happen eventually, but I think it's highly unlikely.Paul RogersJohn Bonifaz is a constitutional attorney and the co-founder and president of Free Speech For People. Mr. Bonifaz previously served as the executive director and general counsel of the National Voting Rights Institute, and as the legal director of Voter Action. He is the author of Warrior-King: The Case For Impeaching George W. Bush and the co-author (with Ron Fein and Ben Clements) of The Constitution Demands It: The Case For The Impeachment of Donald Trump.Threatening to execute members of Congress is unique to Trump. Kidnapping people off the streets and sending them to foreign torture prisons is unique to Trump. Freezing public funds that have been duly appropriated by the United States Congress and not distributing those funds is unique to Trump. Attacking the United States judiciary, refusing to comply with multiple court orders issued by federal courts across the country is unique to Trump. Engaging in these murders on the high seas…these paramilitary attacks on people in the Pacific and in the Caribbean is unique to Trump. Now, it's true that there have been other violations of the War Powers Clause…But the scale of the War Powers violations today is unique to Trump. And this current new, illegal, and unconstitutional war against Iran is threatening the entire world. And so I think that whether they be Democrats or Republicans or Independents, they have to wake up and recognize they have a duty here.John BonifazBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.Ralph, me and John have been trying to impeach Presidents—Democrat, Republican—for decades for these illegalities. The idea that we picked out Trump is absurd. Look at my history. Half of my life has been devoted to getting Presidents impeached and removed from office…So the idea that this is partisan, at least among us, is factually absurd.Bruce FeinI think we need to be even more candid about the nature of the crimes. This is not just illegal wars under the Constitution. He is committing the crime of aggression, the same crime that we sentence Nazis to death at Nuremberg for committing aggression against Poland, against Denmark, against Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, etc.Bruce FeinThis is what is defined as a dictator by any ordinary use of the English language. We need to get away from “authoritarian,” “Oh, he's pushing the envelope.” This is what dictators do. He stated, “I can do anything I want.” And he does it. He kills people. He deports them without due process. He spies on them. He suppresses free speech by using the government to penalize anyone who says anything that's critical, detracts from Mr. Trump. I mean, it is impossible to conceive of the framers thinking anyone like Donald Trump, given his words and his actions, would remain in office more than a fortnight if Congress was doing its duty.Bruce FeinNews 4/3/26* This week, the Trump administration backed down and allowed the Russian oil tanker Anatoly Kolodkin to pass through the American blockade and deliver a shipment of 730,000 barrels of oil to Cuba. The AP writes, the shipment could produce about 180,000 barrels of diesel, enough to feed Cuba's daily energy demand for nine or 10 days. Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío commented on the situation, “The arrival of an oil tanker to a country has likely never generated so much news as the Russian one to Cuba…It's a sign of the brutal siege Cubans endure with heroism and stoicism. It's a demonstration of the criminal cruelty of imperialism against a nation that refuses to be dominated.” Trump's public statements on the matter however loom ominously over the island nation. On Sunday night, Trump told reporters “Cuba's finished…whether or not they get a boat of oil, it's not going to matter.”* In more news of Trump backing down, or “chickening out” as the saying goes, the Wall Street Journal reports that Trump is telling his inner circle that he is willing to end the military operation in Iran without reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, he wants the U.S. to stick to its original 4-6 week timeline and focus on “hobbling Iran's navy and its missile stocks…while pressuring Tehran diplomatically.” This report adds that if this fails, Trump plans to “press allies in Europe and the Gulf to take the lead on reopening the strait.” This aligns with Trump's recent statements on Truth Social, telling allies like the UK to “Go get your own oil!” With all of this said, Trump has sent the USS Tripoli and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit to the region, is weighing the deployment of another 10,000 ground troops, and is considering a “complex and risky mission to seize the regime's uranium,” all while calling the war an “excursion” and “a lovely stay.”* Meanwhile, 25 Senate Democrats have signed a letter by Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia requesting that Senator Roger Wicker, the Republican Chairman of the Armed Services Committee launch a bipartisan probe – complete with hearings and a report – into the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School for girls in Minab, Iran at the beginning of the war. This letter notes that the majority of those killed were girls between ages seven and 12. Moreover, this letter implies that the Pentagon chose this target based on wildly outdated intelligence, raising grave questions about the competence of the military apparatus. While several high-ranking Democrats signed this letter, including Dick Durbin and Cory Booker, along with progressives like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's name is nowhere to be found.* Elsewhere in the region, the Israeli Knesset has passed a new law effectively proscribing the death penalty exclusively to Palestinians. Human Rights Watch states “the bill imposes the death penalty for the deliberate killing of a person with the intention of negating the existence of the State of Israel.'” HRW adds that the new law “mandates execution by hanging, restricts access to legal counsel and visits from family members, limits external oversight, and grants immunity to those involved in carrying out executions.” In a piece calling for the immediate repeal of this law, Erika Guevara-Rosas of Amnesty International writes “By authorizing military courts, which have a conviction rate of over 99% for Palestinian defendants and which are notorious for disregarding due process and fair trial safeguards, to impose effectively mandatory death sentences and ordering the execution within just 90 days of the final ruling, Israel is brazenly granting itself carte blanche to execute Palestinians while stripping away the most basic fair-trial safeguards.” In an interview with CNN, Mustafa Barghouti said this law “confirms very serious fascist tendencies in Israel” and “consolidates further the system of apartheid.”* Anti-Palestinian extremism continues to grow within the United States as well. Al Jazeera reports that last week, domestic law enforcement “foiled a plot against prominent Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani in New York City.” Kiswani is the founder of Within Our Lifetime, a pro-Palestine and anti-Zionist group active in the City. The suspect, apprehended by the FBI in an undercover operation, has been identified as a New Jersey man named Andrew Heifler, a young man affiliated with an offshoot of the far-right Jewish Defense League (JDL), described as an extremist group with a history of violent attacks targeting Arab American activists during the 1970s and 1980s. Heifler was reportedly planning to target Kiswani's home with Molotov cocktails. Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the plot, saying “We will not tolerate violent extremism in our city. No one should face violence for their political beliefs or their advocacy…Our city must meet hate with solidarity, and meet fear with an unshakable commitment to justice and to one another.” Kiswani vowed that she “will not stop speaking up for the people of Palestine.”* Also in New York, Congresswoman and possible 2028 presidential candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a private meeting with the powerful local branch of the Democratic Socialists of America. During this meeting AOC was asked whether she would support the imposition of an arms embargo on Israel. According to City and State NY, AOC affirmed that she would and stated that “The Israeli government should be able to finance their own weapons if they seek to arm themselves.” Pressed on whether she would vote against so-called defensive capabilities – namely the Iron Dome – Rep. Ocasio-Cortez definitively answered “yes.” This marks an evolution of her position; AOC previously voted “present” on a bill to provide $1 billion in funding for the Iron Dome in 2021. Many read this as an acknowledgment from AOC that the politics of this issue have shifted, particularly on the Left, and in order to shore up her progressive support she needs to stake out a bold position now.* Turning to the international progressive movement, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who has led Spain in a Leftward direction since 2018 despite the rise of the European Right is convening a summit of progressive forces in Barcelona slated for April 17th and 18th. Sánchez, who has chaired the Socialist International since 2022, emphasized that the Right has “for years woven a network of alliances to propagate their national populist discourses adapted to each country,” and stressed that the Left must do the same to remain politically viable, per El País. Notable attendees include Brazilian President Lula, outgoing Colombian President Gustavo Petro and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. There have been many attempts to unite the international Left, with mixed results, but it is never too late to try.* In our final story on the international Left, the New Democratic Party of Canada – the country's third largest and most progressive major party – has selected former journalist and activist Avi Lewis as their new leader, the BBC reports. This story notes that Lewis' elevation comes in the context of the NDP suffering a steep decline in recent years, going from the main opposition party in 2011, to holding just six seats in Canada's House of Commons today. Lewis – grandson of one of the party's founding members and son of Stephen Lewis, who led the Ontario NDP and served as the Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations – ran on a platform designed to revive the struggling party by “prioritising worker rights in the age of artificial intelligence, ending new oil and gas pipelines and projects, and exploring state-owned, non-profit grocery stores.” Despite his illustrious lineage, Lewis holds no seat in parliament and therefore cannot participate in official debates. The NDP faces an uphill climb not only back to power but even to relevance. According to this story, “a quarter of past voters…see the party as ‘irrelevant'...and 40% say its best days are behind it.”* In Los Angeles, a shocking new poll shows City Councilmember Nithya Raman, who entered the race at the last possible moment, in a commanding lead. In this poll, Raman drew 33% support, with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass trailing at 17%, statistically tied with another insurgent progressive candidate, Rae Huang. Other candidates – tech executive Adam Miller and former reality television personality and registered Republican Spencer Pratt – round out the field with 13% and 12% respectively. This poll appears to be an outlier. Other recent polls have shown Bass at 20% to Raman's 9%, and Bass at 25% with Raman at 17%. But, if this poll is accurate, it would be a stunning testament to the success of Raman's campaign thus far and a massive warning signal to Bass. If the Mayor slips any further, she could find herself locked out of the general election by Los Angeles' top-two “jungle primary” structure. This from the LA Times.* Finally, we turn to the world of professional sports. This week, Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar introduced the Home Team Act, which, if passed, would require the owners of major league sports teams to allow local communities the option to buy a team before unilaterally relocating across state lines or to a different metro area. This announcement sent ripples through the sports world, with many fans excited by the prospect of keeping their home teams at home. ABC7 Chicago notes that “Sanders specifically mentioned the Bears' threat to leave Chicago,” while the San Diego Union-Tribune believes this bill could keep the Padres in San Diego despite multiple offers to sell. San Diego has been particularly sensitive to this threat since the Chargers left for LA in 2017. In the press conference announcing this bill, Bernie unsubtly displayed the jerseys of the Brooklyn Dodgers, his hometown team, which famously relocated to Los Angeles ahead of the 1958 baseball season.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in. The Artemis II launch was a pivotal moment for American space innovation. This four-member crew is gearing up for an ambitious 10-day journey that will take them around the moon and back, marking NASA's first crewed venture beyond low Earth orbit in over five decades. Also, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has issued an open letter to the American public, filled with typical propaganda remarks and condemnation of U.S. involvement in Iran. Pezeshkian's letter seems like a desperate attempt to sway American opinion and force a ceasefire. As the conflict escalates and shipping through the crucial Strait of Hormuz halts, we must remain focused on national security and resist calls for appeasement, prioritizing the safety and integrity of our nation.  Lastly, long airport lines and escalating worries about domestic threats weren't enough to deter Senate Democrats from once again blocking funding for Homeland Security on Friday. This marks the fifth attempt by Senate Majority Leader John Thune and his Republican colleagues to reopen the agency. Their latest unsuccessful effort coincides with the Department of Homeland Security shutdown entering its 35th day.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Chaos in the capital as Republicans and Democrats clash over border security funding. Mike Johnson criticized the “middle of the night” deal that defunds ICE and Customs & Border Patrol, while Senate Democrats push their radical agenda. Is the GOP majority powerless, or is this just politics as usual? We break down the dangerous precedent, security risks, and what this means for everyday Americans. ⏱️ Short Summary: Late-night D.C. drama exposes a GOP majority caught between a chaotic deal, defunded border enforcement, and a Democratic push to reopen the borders. Who's really in charge?

On Oct. 7, Bondi faced intense questioning by Senate Democrats over what the Justice Department has done (or not done) in investigating Epstein's financial records, flagged suspicious-activity reports, and whether photos of former President Trump with underage women were found among Epstein's belongings. She refused to answer how many “suspicious activity reports” had been reviewed, declined to confirm whether any photos were recovered, and sidestepped detailed explanations of internal DOJ decisions. Bondi instead turned questions back on the motives or prior actions of the senators.Bondi reaffirmed that the DOJ's July decision to stop releasing additional Epstein-files remains in force, saying no “client list” has been found or is being made public. She criticized the senators for past resistance to releasing Epstein flight logs, accused some of accepting donations from associates of Epstein, and declined to elaborate on her internal deliberations — stressing legal and victim-privacy constraints as reasons for non-disclosure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonail.com

Oil prices climbed to around $110 a barrel on April 2 after President Donald Trump said the United States would continue attacks on Iran. And the United Kingdom is hosting a virtual meeting of around 40 countries to discuss options for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The United States is not due to attend.An end to the longest Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown in history is on the horizon. Trump and congressional GOP leaders have rallied behind a two-pronged approach to bypass Senate Democrats on immigration funding. Lawmakers will fund the DHS through regular order, but remove funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Those will be handled in a second party-line bill using a budget process that will allow passage without support from Democrats.

Rep. Beth Van Duyne, an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for Texas's 24th congressional district since 2021, joined us on the Guy Benson Show today to discuss the recently struck deal between Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans, and House Republicans to reopen the Department of Homeland Security. Rep. Van Duyne discussed the deal and the fact that she is "optimistic" about the bill's passage, but she also offered concern for the Republicans "playing ball" with Democrat demands.  Rep. Van Duyne and Benson also reacted to the increased tax returns for Americans under Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," and you can listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Gay Conversion Therapy Clay Travis and Buck Sexton discuss the Supreme Court, focusing on an 8–1 ruling striking down Colorado’s ban on so‑called conversion therapy as unconstitutional. Clay and Buck sharply criticize Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who authored the lone dissent, accusing her of elevating ideology over constitutional law and confusing speech with medical conduct. They contrast her position with that of Justice Elena Kagan, whom they describe as a principled liberal jurist who nonetheless sided with the majority. The hosts argue that the decision underscores broader concerns about Biden‑era judicial appointments and long‑term consequences for constitutional jurisprudence. Get Married and Have Kids Conservative influencer Isabel Brown joins the show for an extended interview, describing her experience as a working mother, her reaction to being attacked by The View, and her belief that women are being misled by cultural and corporate messaging that prioritizes career over family at all costs. Brown argues that motherhood and marriage provide deeper fulfillment than professional status alone and pushes back on claims that women must choose between a career and children. She emphasizes that many successful women—from attorneys to entrepreneurs to government officials—balance both, and that family sacrifices are a normal and meaningful part of life. Throughout the interview, Hour 2 explores biological realities, fertility timelines, and the consequences of delayed childbearing. Clay, Buck, and Brown argue that women are often falsely reassured that having children later in life is effortless, when medical and demographic data suggest otherwise. They discuss declining fertility rates across the United States and Western nations, warning that population collapse poses long‑term economic and societal risks. Brown cites research showing that parenthood often leads to greater long‑term financial stability, increased savings, and more responsible life decisions. TX Rep. Chip Roy Congressman Chip Roy of Texas and NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. The hour opens with market and geopolitical context, as Clay Travis and Buck Sexton note the stock market surging nearly 1,000 points amid signs that tensions with Iran are easing. They frame the rally as investor confidence that President Donald Trump’s strategy of sustained military pressure paired with diplomatic leverage is producing results without dragging the U.S. into a prolonged ground conflict. The first major interview of Hour 3 is with Congressman Chip Roy, who discusses Iran, U.S. energy security, and broader global geopolitics. Roy praises President Trump for weakening Iran’s conventional and nuclear capabilities while cautioning against a long‑term troop presence that could entangle the U.S. in another Middle East quagmire. He argues that Trump’s approach has forced adversaries and allies alike—including Europe, Russia, and China—to reassess their roles, particularly in maintaining open shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz. Roy emphasizes that the priority should remain destroying Iran’s offensive capacity while shifting responsibility to other nations to help enforce regional security. The conversation then pivots to DHS and TSA funding, with Roy sharply criticizing Senate Democrats for refusing to fully fund ICE and Border Patrol while placing TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA in political limbo. He explains that House Republicans sent a clear message by rejecting partial funding and insisting that all national security agencies be supported together. Roy applauds the Trump administration for temporarily stabilizing TSA operations—crediting the redeployment of ICE resources—and calls on the Senate to end its recess and finish the job. He characterizes Democratic tactics as reckless political gamesmanship that endangered travelers and frontline personnel. Historic NASA Launch An optimistic interview with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, ahead of the scheduled launch of Artemis II. Isaacman describes the mission as a historic milestone, sending astronauts farther and faster into deep space than ever before as a critical test before lunar landings resume later this decade. He lays out the broader vision of President Trump’s space policy: not just returning to the moon, but building a permanent lunar base, particularly near the moon’s south pole, to support long‑term exploration and prepare for eventual human missions to Mars. Isaacman explains how upcoming robotic landings, surface infrastructure development, power generation, and in‑situ resource utilization—such as harvesting water ice for fuel—will enable sustainable human presence beyond Earth. He details how breakthroughs driven by private‑sector innovation, particularly reusable rockets pioneered by SpaceX, have dramatically reduced launch costs, opening new scientific, commercial, and national‑security possibilities. The interview connects space exploration to everyday life, noting benefits ranging from global broadband access to advanced satellite imaging and defense capabilities. Isaacman estimates that a crewed mission to Mars could realistically occur within 10–20 years, once lunar operations validate the ability to produce fuel off‑world and ensure astronauts can return safely.

A late-night Senate move sparks outrage inside the Republican Party—accusations of betrayal, backroom deals, and a fight over border security funding. Did GOP leadership just hand Democrats a political win? EPISODE SUMMARY: A political firestorm is erupting in Washington after a controversial overnight Senate maneuver involving John Thune and Chuck Schumer. The move, which critics say effectively stripped additional funding from border enforcement agencies like ICE and Customs and Border Protection, has triggered backlash—especially among House Republicans. At the center of the controversy: a spending package passed in the early morning hours without coordination with House leadership, including Mike Johnson. Critics argue the strategy was designed to shift blame for a potential government shutdown onto House Republicans, while shielding Senate Democrats politically. While core funding for the Department of Homeland Security remains intact through 2029, this dispute centers on billions in supplemental funding—resources that support expanded enforcement operations, logistics, and infrastructure. House GOP leaders, including Tom Emmer, are calling the move dangerous and unprecedented, warning it could set a long-term precedent for dismantling key components of federal agencies through piecemeal funding cuts. Meanwhile, the broader debate exposes a deep divide within the Republican Party itself—between those pushing aggressive border enforcement and others accused of quietly aligning with more open-border policies. This episode unpacks: What really happened in the Senate overnight Why House Republicans are furious The difference between “core” and “supplemental” ICE funding The growing divide inside the GOP What this means for border policy moving forward SEGMENTS: The 3AM Senate Move Explained ICE Funding: What Was Actually Cut?

1. DHS Shutdown and Airport Crisis The discussion centers on a prolonged Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown that led to unpaid TSA agents, widespread airport delays, and near-collapse of airport operations. President Trump issued an emergency order to ensure TSA agents were paid, averting a potential nationwide airport shutdown. The crisis is framed as a direct consequence of Senate Democrats refusing to vote on DHS funding. 2. Political Strategy Behind DHS Funding Democrats are deliberately defunding DHS to block immigration enforcement, particularly ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Republicans ultimately agreed to a short-term funding bill that restores pay to most DHS employees except ICE, as a temporary measure to reopen government operations. Republicans plan to use budget reconciliation (which requires only 50 votes) to pass long-term funding for ICE and border enforcement, potentially locking in funding for up to 10 years. 3. ICE and Border Enforcement Dispute ICE funding becomes the central ideological battleground. Democrats are openly opposing immigration enforcement, including: Deportation officers (ERO) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which handles terrorism, human trafficking, cybercrime, and child exploitation Republicans argue that Democrats’ stance jeopardizes national security and public safety. 4. Senate Votes and Procedural Maneuvering The DHS funding bill ultimately passed the Senate by voice vote late at night, signaling no formal opposition at the moment of passage. The House is expected to pass it, restoring operations and pay for most federal personnel. This outcome is a tactical but temporary Democratic win, soon to be reversed via reconciliation. 5. SAVE Act and Voter ID Controversy The SAVE Act seeks to: Require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote Require photo ID to vote Democrats publicly claim to support voter ID but unanimously voted against a standalone voter ID amendment. Numerous quotes from Democratic leaders supporting voter ID are contrasted with their actual Senate votes, highlighting alleged hypocrisy. Republicans argue that voter ID has overwhelming bipartisan public support. 6. Media Accountability Most mainstream media outlets are accused of shielding Democrats from accountability. CBS News is highlighted as an exception for openly reporting the contradiction between Democratic statements and votes. 7. “Arctic Frost” Investigation (Modern Watergate) The transcript describes a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing into “Arctic Frost,” alleged to be a DOJ operation targeting Donald Trump and conservative institutions. Claims include: Hundreds of subpoenas Surveillance of ~20% of Republican senators Subpoenas for campaign staff, donors, and private citizens Wiretapping of attorney-client communications The scale is described as far exceeding Watergate. 8. Alleged DOJ and FBI Weaponization The Biden administration is accused of politicizing the Department of Justice and FBI. Democrats are criticized for refusing to condemn or even discuss these actions. A sharp contrast is drawn with Watergate-era Republicans who confronted their own party’s president to uphold institutional integrity. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Gary flies solo tonight as Eric attends the Mid America Trucking Show in Louisville, KY. BREAKING NEWS this hour as Congress is one step closer to ending the Homeland Security shutdown after the Senate advanced a new, last-minute deal, but it came at the price of Republicans ceding ground, temporarily, to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The Senate unanimously advanced a deal to reopen most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the wee hours of Friday morning, 42 days into the shutdown that was spurred by the Trump administration's immigration operations in Minnesota. It was an agreement that largely gave Schumer and Senate Democrats what they wanted — no funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and parts of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). But it lacked the stringent reforms they desired, like requiring judicial warrants or requiring agents to unmask.

Election Day is a day—not five days, not a week, not a month. As President Trump expressed on Truth Social "when is enough, enough?" The simple voter ID amendment to the Save America Act was shot down by Senate Democrats yesterday. Will Republicans grow a spine and actually end the filibuster? Democrats will nuke the filibuster if they ever regain power, rig elections and America will essentially be lost. This is the single most important issues that Republicans must get done. Having an election day opposed to an election season is another crucial element to safeguard American elections. The Supreme Court seems poised to side with Judicial Watch on determining a single election day. Ballot counting that goes on for days and weeks change the results of our elections and ultimately the course of history. Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch presented the case before the Supreme Court advocating that federal Election-Day statutes is to set a single uniform day for the election. Allowing ballots to trickle in days or weeks after Election Day is antithetical to that basic goal. Tom is here today to discuss all things election and cleaning up the nearly 24 million dirty voter rolls throughout the country.

John breaks down the biggest news items of the day, including President Trump's recent cabinet meeting, where he revealed an unexpected 'gift' from Iran—ten boats of oil, troubling intelligence regarding U.S. taxpayer dollars and their potential misuse in Ukraine, as well as Senate Democrats' recent decision to block a photo ID voting amendment.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmDonald Trump seems to want out of the Iran war AND out of the Department of Homeland Security shutdown. But only if he can get out by being an even bigger asshole. In this Matt and Brian discuss:* Trump's latest, inscrutable, and quite likely corrupt machinations to end his war of choice (or at least prosecute the war without throttling global oil supply);* Signs that Republicans are catching more heat than Democrats for the DHS shutdown (and the ensuing long lines at airports);* Whether it was wise or unnecessarily risk averse for Democrats to offer to fund TSA and other non-immigration components of DHS (to avoid blowback from weary travelers).Then, does the fact that Democrats have maintained unity in this fight for the past 40 days redeem Chuck Schumer at all? (No.) If not, does it suggest that the Senate Democrats who lost confidence in him aren't really that interested in fighting after all? Will this kind of fighting help Democrats improve their abysmal approval numbers and lagging generic-ballot numbers? Or are they simply unpopular because they're out of step, policy-wise, with the electorate?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Brian argues that the real problem with Democrats' policy agenda isn't that it's too far left, per se, but that it will, once again, crowd out the more pressing matters of democracy protection and accountability for fascism.* Matt on the most perverse reason Trump hasn't quite chickened out of the war.* Perception of partisan ideology, by party ID.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Senate Democrats rejecting an overly generous Republican offer to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Joe Kent's offering to testify for the defense in the Charlie Kirk murder case, and escalating chaos in California's Democratic gubernatorial race.First, they highlight Senate Republicans making the absurd concession of agreeing not to fund ICE's deportation office in exchange for funding the rest of DHS. Even so, Senate Democrats are refusing the deal. Jim explains what this rejection reveals about the Dems' disturbing mindset.Next, they react with disbelief as former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent claims the FBI blocked his investigation into Charlie Kirk's assassination and now says he is willing to testify in defense of the accused killer. Jim and Greg weigh in on the unhinged, conspiracy-minded podcast hosts and what this tells us about Kent in particular.Finally, they have some fun with the dysfunction in California's governor race after a planned debate was canceled due to controversy over which Democratic candidates were invited. Plus, the ones invited were all white and none of the ones left out were white. Jim and Greg sift through the incredibly pathetic field on the left and how they're playing identity politics against one another.Please visit our great sponsors:Better plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingtrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.Help protect your home systems.  Plans start at just $4.99 a month.  Visit https://HomeServe.com to find the plan that's right for you. Get a free pocket pivot and 10-pattern sprayer with any Copper Head hose purchase from Pocket Hose—just text MARTINI to 64000.

1. DHS Shutdown and Airport Chaos DHS has been unfunded for weeks, causing TSA agents to miss multiple paychecks. Resulting effects include: Long airport security lines (2–5 hours) Missed flights and disrupted travel TSA resignations and staffing shortages TSA workers are described as financially vulnerable, relying on food banks and quitting due to unpaid wages. 2. Political Blame Attribution The shutdown is entirely caused by Democrats, specifically Senate Democrats. Republicans have repeatedly voted to fund DHS, but lack the 60 votes needed to overcome Democratic opposition. Democrats are accused of: Using DHS funding as leverage due to opposition to ICE Willingly harming TSA and the public to satisfy an “open borders” activist base Media outlets are obscuring Democratic responsibility by using neutral language like “Congress failed.” 3. ICE Funding Paradox Despite the shutdown being framed as “defunding ICE” by liberals, ICE is already funded for several years due to a prior reconciliation bill. Irony emphasized: ICE agents are paid TSA agents are not The shutdown hurts the public but does not affect ICE, making it symbolic rather than practical. 4. Proposed Republican Strategy Suggested workaround: Fund all of DHS except ICE to reopen government operations Then pass a reconciliation bill to fund ICE long-term (10 years) and increase its budget This reflects the belief that Democrats may never again vote for ICE funding. 5. National Security and Terrorism Concerns The shutdown is dangerous amid: Recent terrorist attacks Heightened risk of future attacks Airports are described as “soft targets” due to crowding and chaos. Democrats are accused of reckless disregard for security consequences. 6. Iran Conflict Escalation President Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Threat: destruction of Iranian power plants if Iran does not comply. The U.S. military campaign is: Massive and successful Targeting missiles, drones, naval assets, and military leadership Having destroyed large portions of Iran’s navy and infrastructure Goal articulated: collapse of the Iranian regime, not just deterrence. 7. Strait of Hormuz and Economic Impact Closure of the Strait is linked to: Rising oil and gas prices Global economic disruption This is presented as a key reason for escalating U.S. threats. 8. UK and Diego Garcia Involvement Iran fired missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.–UK military base. This attack is forcing the UK into a more active defensive role. UK involvement is welcomed but portrayed as insufficient and overdue. 9. Internal Democratic Party Conflict Chuck Schumer is: an Obstructionist Weak and facing rebellion from the party’s left wing Progressive Democrats are wanting even more aggressive shutdown tactics. Parallels drawn between Schumer’s instability and Starmer’s political vulnerability. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

As Donald Trump flings the world into an energy crisis with his war in Iran, his administration is apparently trying to resurrect the ghosts of past environmental catastrophes with deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and an oil pipeline off the coast of California. Rachel Maddow looks at how Donald Trump's fast talk and gaslighting can't change the reality of the mess he has made in the Strait of Hormuz as allies resist his bullying and rivals and opportunists take advantage of him to enrich themselves. Donald Trump's avoidance of accountability or even having to give any real answers on his decision to go to war against Iran may be coming to an end as Senate Democrats are poised to bring the business of the Senate to a grinding halt by forcing a wave of votes on U.S. military action in Iran. Senator Cory Booker talks with Rachel Maddow about Trump's handling of his attack on Iran and the questions Senate Democrats want answered.   And the disaster at the Department of Homeland Security did not end with the firing of Kristi Noem. Wall Street Journal reporter Michelle Hackman discusses with Rachel. Want more of Rachel?

America must intensify its efforts to combat radical Islam within its borders by enhancing surveillance and deradicalization programs, as evidenced by the recent ISIS-inspired attack in New York City, where two teenagers threw homemade explosives at a crowd during an anti-Islam protest. The Austin bar shooting, where a gunman with apparent Islamist ties killed three and injured over a dozen, underscores the urgency for stricter immigration vetting and community monitoring to prevent such ideologically driven violence. Similarly, the attack on Temple Israel in Michigan, where a man rammed his vehicle into the synagogue and opened fire amid a surge in anti-Semitic threats, highlights the need for fortified security at religious sites vulnerable to radicalized individuals. To push back effectively, federal and local agencies should prioritize intelligence-sharing and proactive interventions against online radicalization that fueled these incidents.
