The Senate GOP has cleared the path for Todd Blanche's Attorney General nomination following major legal settlements and shifting stances from key Republican holdouts. In this episode of the Rational Boomer Podcast, we analyze the political maneuverings, the controversy behind the $1.8 billion fund, and what this means for the Department of Justice.

Dr. Anthony Fauci's explosive appearance on Capitol Hill is still reverberating in Washington after he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right during questioning about COVID-19. Now, some Senate Republicans are considering holding Fauci in contempt of Congress as Democrats push back. Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall, also a physician, joins the Rundown to weigh in on the fallout and the lingering questions surrounding the pandemic. Plus, with the August recess approaching, Senator Marshall discusses what Congress still needs to accomplish and the issues he's hearing about from voters back home. As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes industries, medicine is emerging as one of its fastest-growing frontiers. Dr. Peter Najjar of Johns Hopkins Health System joins the Rundown to explain how AI is already helping doctors reduce administrative burdens, improve patient care, and could one day transform the way diseases like cancer are diagnosed and treated. PLUS, commentary by Ronna McDaniel, CEO of the Michigan Forward Network and the former chair of the Republican National Committee. PHOTO CREDIT: AP IMAGES Learn more about your ad choices.

Joe's diving straight into the critical issues surrounding local accountability, national governance, and the fundamental integrity of our civic institutions. We kick things off by looking at packed community meetings over infrastructure and data centers, before tracking national debates on immigration policies, public health transparency, and the ongoing fight to secure our voting systems. From local boardrooms to the federal level, we are taking an unflinching look at how leadership decisions directly impact everyday Americans and the constitutional principles that hold this country together.Joe is joined by content creator, scientist, and free speech advocate Dr. Rich Guggenheim (@5280BasedHomo). Rich gives us an insider update on his First Amendment lawsuit following the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling on legislative immunity and public testimony rights. We also expand the scope to discuss global security, analyzing recent headlines out of Europe and unpacking the broader cultural and political dynamics unfolding across western democracies.Joe shifts the focus to major international developments and legislative standoffs in Washington. We break down the realities of the war in Ukraine, highlighting reports on conscription alongside President Trump's recent meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss defense production and diplomatic solutions. Finally, we bring it back home to examine election integrity policy in Congress, addressing Senate GOP pushback on the SAVE Act and asking what it will take to restore absolute trust in our democratic processes.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are here to summarize the chaos of the weekend. I, in turn, summarize that into this tiny nutritious pellet for your consumption. The worst thing about White House Correspondents Dinner is that they feel that they have to keep telling us about it. The only news ever is its chronic persistence. The White House press corps could have stood up, but they came to sit down. Donald K. Trump told jokes, explained the jokes, then posted AI explainers of the jokes and the hilarity feels like it just might never stop. Laura Loomer is not Lauren Boebert, Anna Paulina Luna, or even Sid Rosenberg, but if she read it the internet, she would believe it. Once decided, Laura changes her mind less often than Donald changes his diaper, so it's a shock to see her come out for Ukraine. Tim Pool also flips on Ukraine. Must be something in the water. Bold and brilliant military strategists Donald and Pete ran out of ammunition and requested a time out. Pete Hegseth gets rid of generals faster than Vladimir Putin. Generic Dems lead, and Gop enthusiasms are gone, but as the midterms near it is expected that Republicans will be trying to destroy the elections and Democrats will try to destroy themselves. Their enemy, as always, are Progressives. Senate Gop candidate Mike Rogers is rooting for Abdul El-Sayed for a number of reasons, most of them obvious. The thing is, Black voters are also against El-Sayed. Maine has put the recent unpleasantness behind them and are now ready to decide the future of progressive populism for all mankind. The real enemy, as always, are political consultants. Political consultants want to make the past great again. California's primary vote count might have been slow, but 150 thousand voters were slower. People like voting by mail, though. Brazil worries about Trump rigging their elections. Blue state Minnesota burns because DOGE told them to "drop dead". People that Elon Musk doesn't think about simply do not exist… which sure gives you a clear idea of the future of "Universal Basic Income", doesn't it?

The Guardian reports that a Pentagon database update now shows 18 U.S. troops killed and 624 wounded in the Iran war. The controversy centers on the Pentagon's decision to temporarily move four recently killed soldiers and hundreds of casualties into a separate "Overseas Operations" category, raising questions about how the military is counting and presenting the human cost of the conflict. Trump is demanding that Senate Republicans remain in Washington until they pass the SAVE America Act, a voting-restrictions bill requiring proof of citizenship and voter ID. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Republicans currently lack the votes to pass the bill or eliminate the filibuster, setting up a growing conflict between Trump and Senate GOP leadership ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Larry Kudlow just delivered one of the most brutal live television takedowns of Senate Republican leadership that you will ever see.During a heated interview with Republican Senator James Lankford, Kudlow held absolutely nothing back—challenging the Senate GOP over its failure to advance President Trump's agenda, its weak messaging, its abbreviated work schedule and the uncertain future of the SAVE America Act.“Where is it?”“You're bungling everything.”“Nothing is getting done.”Kudlow said directly to Lankford's face what millions of frustrated Americans have been demanding to know: Why do Republicans repeatedly campaign on President Trump's priorities, win political power and then fail to deliver the legislation their voters expected?The SAVE America Act remains a major priority for President Trump and his supporters, but its path through the Senate is far from guaranteed. The confrontation became even more explosive when Kudlow accused Republican leadership of losing its energy, its message and its ability to explain what it is accomplishing for the American people.Was Kudlow right to publicly confront Senator Lankford? Are establishment Republicans moving too slowly on election integrity, immigration and the rest of Trump's agenda? Or are Senate rules and Democratic opposition the real obstacles?Watch the entire breakdown, then tell me what you think in the comments.Do Senate Republicans need to remain in Washington until the SAVE America Act reaches President Trump's desk?Subscribe and turn on notifications for breaking political news, fact-checking and analysis from Professor Nez.#LarryKudlow #JamesLankford #SAVEAmericaAct #TrumpAgenda #SenateRepublicans #BreakingNewsFor free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez✅ Reach out to me: https://bio.site/professornez✅ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/✅ Check out our Official Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@professornezclips▶ Support the Channel and Buy us a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/professornezEducational Commentary & Original AnalysisThis channel presents educational, lecture-style analysis created by a university professor and educator.

During the third hour of The Tara Show on Monday, June 29, 2026, host Tara Servatius delivered a hard-hitting lineup focused on legislative gridlock, foreign policy, and shifting political ideologies. Tara kicked off the hour by tackling the fierce Capitol Hill battle over the SAVE Act, sharply criticizing Senate GOP leadership for their defeatist stance and failure to aggressively push the voter integrity bill against Democratic opposition. Shifting to international relations, she questioned President Donald Trump's strategic decision to leave Iran's military assets intact along the crucial Strait of Hormuz, arguing that halting operations prematurely leaves a dangerous global shipping choke point under rogue control. Tara then pivoted to a critique of domestic politics, asserting that the mainstream Democratic party is openly embracing democratic socialism. Finally, she rounded out the hour by opening up the lines to listeners, answering a flood of texts that debated GOP messaging, the administration's handling of Iran, and the shifting identity of the modern Democratic party.

During the third hour of The Tara Show on Monday, June 29, 2026, host Tara Servatius broke down the escalating political warfare on Capitol Hill over the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) America Act. Tara targeted the establishment pushback within the upper chamber, calling out Senate Republican leadership—including Majority Leader John Thune—for their continued insistence that the voter integrity bill lacks the necessary 60 votes to clear the filibuster. As Donald Trump and House conservatives double down by stalling other major bipartisan legislation until the bill is advanced, Tara criticized Senate GOP leaders for failing to aggressively push the election integrity measure, arguing that their procedural defeatism plays right into the hands of Senate Democrats who oppose the stricter proof-of-citizenship registration requirements.

June 27, 2026; 8am: After four Senate Republicans sided with Democrats on a War Powers Resolution to limit the President's authority in Iran, Trump reportedly berated those Senators during a closed-door lunch on Wednesday.

Fred Upton (R-MI) join The Weekend to discuss Trump's standoff with the members of the Senate GOP.

Trump and Senate GOP, NATO's Mark Rutte, Zohran Mamdani's primary sweep, and Grand Theft Auto 6 headline today's A.M. Update. Outgoing Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy reportedly gets into a shouting match with Trump at a Senate GOP lunch just weeks after losing his primary by a historic margin, and Aaron says picking that fight on his way out the door makes no sense. Trump also announces he won't sign the bipartisan housing bill until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act, even though it already cleared Congress with supermajorities, and takes a swipe at NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte over gas prices not falling fast enough at the pump. All three of Zohran Mamdani's endorsed candidates sweep their New York primaries, including a Democratic Socialist who knocked off a five-term incumbent, and Aaron lays out his theory for why the combination of Islamism and Marxism is proving so potent with young, secular voters. Grand Theft Auto 6 opens pre-orders for its November launch, and Aaron does the math on its reported $2 billion budget, more than it cost to build the Burj Khalifa, and questions whether that much talent and money going into a video game says something about misplaced priorities. Aaron closes the week with the poll of the week results on who's actually following the World Cup.

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys review the latest on the War with Iran. Is there a cease-fire or not? Is Iran playing Trump by dragging out the negotiations? If Iran doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz unconditionally, or turn over enriched Uranium, and Islamic Fundamentalist Fanatics retain power, should we conclude they won? The guys discuss the Senate GOP uprising over Trump's "Anti-Weaponization Fund." Why all of the GOP backlash? Why the hostility toward Trump? And the guys also talk about Trump's personal grievances--has he lost his way? With the clock ticking on the midterms, is there any time left for Trump to mend any fences or to increase his chances of hanging onto the House and Senate?

Senate Republicans are in full meltdown mode over President Trump’s endorsements, the Texas primary battle, and the controversial “Weaponization Fund.” Why are GOP leaders outraged over compensating Americans allegedly targeted by the government — while staying quiet on scandals like USAID spending, House slush funds, and massive fraud cases?

Today's Headlines: The Department of Homeland Security is threatening to cut customs staffing at major international airports in sanctuary cities like New York, LA, Chicago, and DC — which would affect not just tourism but cargo shipments and the broader economy — because DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin apparently thinks international trade can just reroute to Florida. Trump, meanwhile, said he's "in no hurry" to end the Iran war while also telling reporters he might skip his own son's destination wedding in the Bahamas because of "this thing called Iran," which is either a convenient excuse or the most relatable thing he's ever said. The Traitor Fund — formerly known as Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund — is getting wilder by the day: Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio wants $2-5 million, Mike Lindell is asking for $400 million, a January 6th rioter who compared herself to Jesus during sentencing wants $10 million, George Santos might file, and the couple who pointed guns at BLM protesters is reportedly interested. Acting AG Todd Blanche went to Congress to lobby Republicans not to block the fund — and offered to cut them in on it, specifically noting that senators whose records were secretly subpoenaed are eligible to file claims, which is a sentence that exists. The Senate responded by going home for a few weeks rather than dealing with it, which is technically a dereliction of their constitutional duty to approve funding, but here we are. Mortgage rates also hit a nine-month high this week at 6.51%, Trump is claiming he can build his DC arch without congressional approval, and a design commission approved the arch's look, which is one of many steps still required — Congress included, no matter what Donald says. On the Epstein files, Jeffrey Epstein's former personal assistant Sarah Kellen testified before the House Oversight Committee in a session described as deeply informative and genuinely harrowing — revealing she was recruited at 21, sexually and psychologically abused by Epstein for over a decade, and was "being paid in part to be raped." She also told the committee that the federal government included her name in Epstein's 2008 nonprosecution agreement without ever speaking to her, effectively branding her a criminal in a secret deal made with her own abuser. And finally, last night was Stephen Colbert's last show, which aired after this episode was recorded.

Thomas Massie, Ken Paxton, Karoline Leavitt, Canada's euthanasia laws, and Marco Rubio headline today's A.M. Update. Trump scores another primary scalp as Ed Gallrein defeats Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky's 4th district — the most expensive House primary on record — while Trump simultaneously endorses Ken Paxton over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in next week's Texas Senate runoff, leaving Senate Majority Leader John Thune visibly rattled. JD Vance steps in for Karoline Leavitt at the White House briefing and defends Trump's "I don't think about Americans' finances" comment for over an hour, and the NAACP calls for a student athlete boycott of Southern state universities over redistricting. A resurfaced comment from a Quebec College of Physicians member proposing euthanasia for disabled infants up to one year old prompts Aaron's broader warning about Canada's medically assisted dying laws and the slippery slope from allowance to coercion. Aaron closes with Marco Rubio's Rededicate 250 address tracing America's Christian foundation from the Puritans to the moon landing, and a sharp response to various voices crying about an ungovernable Senate: all you had to do was pass the SAVE Act.    

Three people killed in shooting at San Diego Mosque, Senate GOP looking for off-ramp from White House ballroom debacle, and New York high school has 21 valedictorians.
