September 20, 2026; 7am: Iranian-backed Houthi rebels say they fired a barrage of missiles and drones at Riyadh and Saudi oil facilities, landing the first strikes on the Saudi capital in months. This comes on the heels of President Trump telling Axios he faces a big decision on Iran, "Do I want to go in and annihilate them, or do I not?" Axios says the president was referring to the Iranian regime. This question comes just days before he meets with Gulf leaders, including Saudi Arabia, at the UN General Assembly. The State Department is reportedly granting Iran's leaders travel documents to attend UNGA, even as the U.S. and Iran remain officially at war. Richard Haass, President Emeritus at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins “The Weekend” to discuss.For more, follow us on social media:Bluesky: @theweekendmsnow.bsky.socialInstagram: @theweekendmsnowTikTok: @theweekendmsnow To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

John welcomes Jacob Weisberg, co-founder of Pushkin Industries and former editor of Slate, to discuss his new book, “Profiles in Cowardice: A Study of Collaboration in the Trump Era.” Weisberg explains how he took the format and framing of “Profiles in Courage,” John F. Kennedy's classic examination of moral leadership in politics, and turned it inside out, focusing not on the admirable but the culpable; and why some of America's best-known and most powerful public figures—from Jeff Bezos and Stephen Schwarzman to John Roberts, Megyn Kelly, and Mitch McConnell—became complicit in a signal feature of Donald Trump's second term: the remarkable degree of capitulation to a president few of them like or respect and many once resisted.
On this week's Mean Age Daydream, Brian looks at the insanity of the frozen-smiled maw of comatose Mitch McConnell before lamenting the fall of Sweden under the votes of legalized mass immigration that cemented far-left rule. Also: Democrat bigotry of low expectations is on full display regarding black students' ability to take tests, and AI "actress" Tilly Norwood glitches on Piers Morgan live.

One of the core tenets of Tangle's mission is ideological diversity. As a big-tent news organization, we believe that we can be a space for readers of all political backgrounds to hear arguments from across the political spectrum.As I look around today's media landscape, something occurs to me: It's becoming a hobbyhorse of political commentators to beat up on the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Both moderate Democrats and Republicans attack it constantly, as do independents. And in my own writing, I've overtly criticized the DSA. Indeed, it's hard to find writers unapologetically defending DSA — especially in the mainstream press.So, in late July, I put out a call on social media for a writer who would pen a piece for Tangle that was different — for a writer who would make the case for the DSA, its platform, and its record. A few hours later, Ross Barkan shot me a direct message.Ad-free podcasts are here!Get 20% off your first year of ad-free episodes, exclusive interviews, and deep dives with Tangle's podcast membership!“Am I the idiot?”For this week's Suspension of the Rules, Kmele defends his position on AI deregulation as Ari channels some reader criticisms to him.

This is a preview of The Weekender. Sign up for our Patreon and get access to the full episode each Friday as well as special Live Shows and access to our community discord: http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on Kevin Warsh raising interest rates when Trump appointed him to cut them, and why a rate hike can't do a thing about: record diesel prices, the war in Iran, or an economy already flirting with stagflation (not necessarily in that order). The Supreme Court keeps the Postal Service's mail ballot rule on hold through the midterms, with Thomas and Alito still on board (because of course) and a whistleblower alleging the USPS built the system anyway. Jared predicts November is headed for a mess no matter what the courts say. Speaking of a mess, Mitch McConnell returned to the Senate looking a lot like Grandpa at the dinner table in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which Jared and Nick see as proof of a machine that grinds the humanity out of everyone who serves it. A new report that JD Vance tried to advise the Clinton campaign in 2016 shows exactly who he is: a striver (on a couch) with no principles who could just as easily have ended up a Democrat, and Hillary's own 9/11 essay in The Atlantic proves the striver class is bipartisan (good times). In What We're Watching, Nick catches The Odyssey a second time to get ready for his trip, and Jared is slowly working through For Whom the Bell Tolls and finally watched season one of The Rehearsal. Nick is off to Greece for two weeks, so Jared will hold down the fort until he's back in October.
Diesel at $6.40, McConnell's a Zombie, and Woke Right Cancel Culture (Go Bills)Dan, Corey, and Bell banter about the Lions getting cooked in Buffalo, then pivot to politics: they claim Mitch McConnell is basically dead, Republicans are headed for a midterm bloodbath, and generic-ballot polling has swung from GOP +3 after 2024 to Democrats about +7/+8, with notable Senate race polls (Texas Talarico +3, Ohio Brown +3.2, Maine Jackson +2 vs. Collins, Ossoff +8 in Georgia). They discuss Haley Stevens after losing her primary, highlighting a street confrontation where she denies genocide, calls anti-Zionism a hate movement, and says she's a proud Zionist. The hosts argue both parties serve donors, not voters, and tie political backlash to soaring fuel costs (diesel ~6.40 national, CA near $9; gas ~4.44), fuel surcharges, and airline warnings about jet fuel up ~105%, while mocking Trump's plan to let diesel haulers drive 16 hours. They cover Thomas Massie's impeachment push against Pete Hegseth, Hegseth's awful approval numbers (around -25; independents -40), Mike Johnson punting House business for two months, and Robert Kraft barring Macklemore for saying “Free Palestine,” framing it as hypocritical “woke right” deplatforming, capped with a Mark Levin clip endorsing deplatforming.00:00 Welcome and NFL Banter01:30 Tonight's Agenda and GOP Trouble02:18 Grok AI Thirst Trap Discourse03:56 Macklemore and Streisand Effect04:26 Hegseth Impeachment Tease05:25 Haley Stevens Aftermath05:57 Debate Dodging and Trump Playbook07:00 Lions Meltdown Interruption11:31 Haley Stevens Confrontation Clip16:14 Why a Blue Wave Is Coming17:17 Generic Ballot and Polling Errors20:33 State-by-State Senate Shockers23:24 GOP Messaging Chaos and Leadership25:32 Diesel Prices and Supply Warnings30:05 Ripple Effects on Infrastructure and Food33:33 Diesel Price Shock34:06 Unleaded And Jet Fuel36:28 Diesel Engines Explained38:13 Fuel Shelf Life Debate39:26 Truckers Hours Policy44:14 Trade Deficit Rant46:47 Boomer Gas Interview54:17 Midterms Change Nothing56:48 Obama And Iran Deal01:00:27 Macklemore Stadium Ban01:02:22 Stadium Funding Hypocrisy01:11:30 Macklemore Venue Backlash01:12:02 Kanye And Double Standards01:12:21 Old Tweets And Photos01:14:45 Portnoy Free Speech Flip01:17:12 Semites Zionists Breakdown01:21:40 Genocide Definition Debate01:26:35 Hegseth GOP Revolt01:28:45 Johnson Punts The Vote01:34:06 Mark Levin Deplatforming01:43:01 Show Wrap And Plugs

A GOP senator leaned over and told Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) how to vote. The clerk still couldn't hear him. This is day three back for an 84-year-old senator after more than 90 days away — a fall, pneumonia, two months in the hospital, and a wheelchair through the Capitol. The Senate Agriculture Committee had already stalled the farm bill without him. On Wednesday, they needed that vote. So they brought him in, called his name, and the country watched Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) lean in with “no” while McConnell quietly said “aye,” then had to say it again louder because nobody caught it the first time. The bill cleared 12-11, party lines. The question is why Republicans keep pretending this is just a tough recovery and not a fitness problem. If a Democrat this frail needed a neighbor to coach a roll call, this network would not be told to look away. Farm policy, nutrition fights, and a chamber that already runs on people who should have gone home years ago — and the party of “common sense” wheels a man in because the math is 12-11. Pat also covered: The last pennies ever minted just sold at auction for $16.7 million. We killed the coin, then collectors paid a fortune for the funeral. The Fed just hiked rates for the first time since 2023 — a quarter point, to 3.75%–4%. Warsh did it unanimously. Is America ready for a gay president? Not as a slogan. As an actual ticket. The Wachowski brothers are now the Wachowski sisters. Hollywood called it progress. Everybody else called it a pattern. James Talarico's own minister, Rev. Babs Miller, got caught on camera saying the makeover is a lie. Should a senator who has to be walked through a committee vote still be holding that seat? If this were the other party, would you still be told to show respect and move on?

Chris Brown was honored with a congressional record at a concert in Dallas by Rep Jasmine Crockett and Texas State Rep Venton Jones. It has become a debacle after outraged victims of domestic abuse spoke out against Mr. Brown, who infamously beat Rihanna and other romantic partners. Rep Jones has apologized while Crockett is standing on business–this is an excellent moment to educate about OPTICS (and talk about who deserves forgiveness). ProPublica has reported that Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding was secretly bankrolled by a Russian oligarch close to president Putin. Don Jr. and his new wife Bettina admitted to everything, and said they don’t understand why it’s a big deal... Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 149 of Native Land Pod.

Today's Headlines: The EU is floating the idea of Canada becoming its first-ever associate member in response to Trump's trade war — which would be a historic geopolitical realignment — and separately proposed banning children under 13 from social media entirely across member states, with 13-15 year olds getting supervised mini accounts with one hour daily limits, Europe is actually doing the things we keep talking about doing. Back in the states, the Fed raised interest rates by a quarter point for the first time since 2023. As usual, markets fell, and Trump responded by demanding rates drop to 1% or less because "our country is booming," which is one way to describe $6 diesel and a $38 billion war. Congress had an unusually productive day: the House passed expanded Russia sanctions, voted to hold Leon Black in contempt for suing the committee that subpoenaed him rather than testifying about his Epstein ties, and the Senate blocked the crypto industry's self-written Clarity Act 50-49 — six votes short of passing — given the president's own ability to profit from crypto made it a tough sell even for some Republicans. Mitch McConnell returned for day two and nearly voted the wrong way on the farm bill before aides redirected him, which is either reassuring or alarming depending on how you look at it, but the bill passed and that's something. And Trump campaigned in North Carolina for Republican senate candidate Michael Whatley and told the crowd he would withhold FEMA disaster funding if Whatley loses, which is textbook extortion.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the New York Times having to issue an embarrassing correction about the terrorist attacks against Israel, James Talarico and his pastor proving his efforts to appear like a moderate on cultural issues is all fiction, the U.S. poverty rate hitting a record low, and Sen. Mitch McConnell proving he's no longer up to the job.First, they vent as the New York Times publishes a story stating "Israelis still view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7." In addition to the obvious reaction, Jim explains the double standard that exists in how the Times treats writings from the left vs. the right.Next, they react to James Talarico's pastor saying the candidate's advisers are telling him to sound more moderate on social issues but that Talarico will be just as far left as ever if he wins the U.S. Senate race. They also note Talarico being asked who is favorite drag queen is and immediately having an answer.Then, they celebrate news from the U.S. Census Bureau that the nation's poverty rate is now at an all-time low. Jim looks at the overall economic picture in light of this news. Greg compares the very different political reactions between record high government assistance and news like this.Finally, they cringe as it's clear Sen. Mitch McConnell is deeply confused at best and clearly seems incapable of doing his job any longer. They discuss how unfair this lack of transparency by McConnell's staff is to his constituents and how Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear made this whole situation worse as well.Please visit our great sponsors:HomeServeProtect your home with HomeServe.

Republicans are just as scheming as democrats as they roll in "Mitch McConnell" to cast a tie-breaking vote on a farm bill which may insulate Monsanto from lawsuits over its cancer-causing weed products. Trump drops a devastating video about the Hilary Clinton Body Count - and how many people in the failed presidential candidate's orbit have ended up dead. Why would he do that? Nic Hulscher says turbo cancers from the Covid jabs are very real - and very deadly. The GOP's midterm convention was a hit across America.

//The Wire//2000Z September 17, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: SAUDIS CLAIM THAT THE EAST-WEST PIPELINE WILL BE REPAIRED SOON, DESPITE THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF SEVERAL PUMPING STATIONS. UNITED STATES WEIGHS MITIGATION ACTIONS TO PREVENT DIESEL CRISIS FROM EXPANDING. PRESIDENT XI AND PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA REPORTEDLY FELL ILL DURING BRICS SUMMIT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-India: Multiple world leaders have reportedly fallen ill after attending the BRICS summit in New Delhi. Chinese President Xi Jinping skipped the gala dinner and returned to China early, and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa also had to depart India early due to an unspecified illness. His Deputy President, Paul Mashatile, also fell ill at the same time, as has been confirmed by the South African government.Analyst Comment: Right now, it's not clear as to if the illnesses are the result of malign action, or just the natural reaction to being in India. Multiple leaders from separate countries falling ill at around the same time is a big clue, but Chinese sources are speculating that President Xi might have had a stroke. At the moment, there is nothing confirming this as Xi's personal life tends to be extremely private, and there has been no official confirmation regarding why he departed the BRICS summit early.Saudi Arabia: Repair work up and down the East-West Pipeline continues, along with repairs at Yanbu. Saudi forces have also requested air defenses from various European nations, as the United States has declined to become involved in defending their refineries.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Concerns continue to mount regarding the status of Senator Mitch McConnell. Yesterday, he was transported to the Capitol to vote on an agricultural spending bill, and footage of him continues to indicate that he is very visibly not well or coherent. Sen. McConnell has generally been conscious, but unresponsive to verbal comments made by journalists attempting to ask him questions.USA: Around the nation, reports of gasoline and diesel shortages are beginning to manifest, as several gas stations have announced that they are out of gas. Gas stations in North Texas, Florida, and California have all reported being out of gas as of last night.Analyst Comment: Right now it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is causing these specific shortages. To be sure, a handful of gas stations running out of gas is not indicative of a dire and imminent nationwide shortage; based on the EIA's Weekly Status Report, last week gasoline stocks in the US were only down 4.6% from what they were last year. However the empty pumps don't lie, and right now the most likely explanation for localized gasoline shortages is a combination of logistical issues delaying shipments to individual gas stations...and panic buying which will drain a gas station much faster than normal. Due to oil execs saying gas prices are going to increase over the next few days, people are probably trying to get ahead of the curve. Since most gas stations only have a day's worth of gas (and rely on nearly daily deliveries to refill their underground tanks), it doesn't take much of an increase in demand to generate a localized shortage.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Saudi oil contracts continued to be canceled as the scale of Houthi attacks continues to expand. All oil onloading at Yanbu has been halted for at least six days, and the only other source for Saudi exports is now through smaller ports, or through Ras Tanura via the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the devastation, some Saudi officials claim that the East-West Pipeline will return to at least 50% of it's capacity within a few days, though this appears to be wishful thinking at best. At the moment, formalized force majeure declarations have not taken place, but Aramco has "deferred" deliveries of crude for the rest of the month of September, and various contracts continue to be canceled.As it stands, Saudi Arabia is seriously in trouble and it's extremely unlikely that Saudi Arabia will be exporting any sizable amount of oil for a while. European oil traders seem rather adamant that Saudi Arabia has already canceled most of their contracts with various customers for oil deliveries, however Saudi officials assure the world that everything is fine and they will be back to full capacity soon. Saudi sources have claimed that the SUMED pipeline (with it's capacity of 2.5 million barrels per day) can be used as a partial-backup to the East-West Pipeline being down. However there is one problem with this plan...geography. The SUMED pipeline is not in Saudi Arabia, it's in Egypt. And the only way that the Saudis can use this pipeline, is to load oil at Yanbu, sail it on ships across the Red Sea, and deposit the crude in Egypt to be sent down the pipeline. The single point of failure for this "backup" pipeline is the same point of failure for the East-West Pipeline...Yanbu. Which is currently offline due to Houthi strikes. Whatever the truth is regarding exactly how much oil is able to exit the Middle East, it will be discovered rather quickly as crude cannot be conjured up out of thin air, and at some point the sheer lack of volume will have to be acknowledged.Within the homeland, the United States has begun more serious mitigation efforts due to the Saudis being offline for presumably a long time. The Department of Transportation has issued a 90-day waiver for truckers carrying fuel, easing Hours-of-Service (HOS) regulations to allow truckers to drive more hours in a 24 hour period. The White House is also still considering an export ban on diesel, in order to ease rising costs in the United States. If this were to be enacted, domestic prices would probably dip, but the shock to the system could result in unintended consequences in the long term.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//
Diving into Odd Cinema: The Prey and The Love Butcher Exploring overlooked slasher films and their quirks Things are sounding a bit different this week as Bill navigates some new software. He's convinced it's worth it despite some complaints, and that sets the tone for a discussion that dives into the quirky world of lesser-known cinema. The Films: A Closer Look This episode features two obscure titles: The Prey (1983) and The Love Butcher (1975). Bill notes that while many might recognize the box art of The Prey, he personally had never seen it until now, which adds an element of surprise to the show. Chris admits he's also unfamiliar with The Love Butcher. This leads to a dialogue about how they both stumbled upon these films and the unexpected treasures that can lie in overlooked cinema. "I mean, many of you have probably seen the box art for The Prey on different places, but I had never actually seen it. So that's cool." — Bill Personal Updates and Banter The conversation shifts to some housekeeping and personal health updates. Bill acknowledges the support from patrons and explains why they skipped Patreon picks this week due to personal commitments. Chris shares his weight loss journey, humorously attributing it to lifestyle changes and a bit of honesty regarding his diet. Both hosts reflect on their health, with Chris mentioning how his blood pressure is good, a result of changes he's made recently. "I went to the doctors and do you know what advice I was given? You're doing good. Keep it up. I'm down to two hundred and fifty two pounds maybe from like over three fifty at my worst." — Chris Engaging Discussions on Society The episode also touches upon current events, with Chris and Bill exchanging thoughts on political figures, particularly Mitch McConnell. Their candid banter about politicians reveals a raw honesty that resonates well with listeners: "The whole place needs to be burned down with them inside." — Chris This unfiltered commentary adds a layer of connection, allowing listeners to relate to their frustrations and humor. As they navigate from personal anecdotes to film reviews, listeners can look forward to a rich blend of humor, insights, and reflections that make this episode a rewarding listen. If you're intrigued by odd cinema or simply enjoy a good laugh, tune in to hear what Bill and Chris thought about these unique films and catch more of their entertaining banter. The full episode awaits!
They rolled Mitch McConnell out of his Capitol Hill townhouse staring into the middle distance like the last vegetable the FDA forgot to recall. The Senate reconvened & the country got a live-action argument for term limits. Polls have been screaming 80%+. Congress still pretends the only term limit that matters is death or a midterm. btw: Do you think Mitch gets A.I.?
Meghan McCain is holding down the fort while Miranda Wilkins continues recovering from shingles, and there is A LOT to get into. Ryan Girdusky joins Meghan to break down Republicans' increasingly ugly midterm picture, rising gas and grocery prices, what's going wrong in Texas, Mitch McConnell's return to Washington after 93 days out of public view, and the bizarre sight of Gavin Newsom and Jake Tapper attempting to convince America they know how to fly fish. Then Sarah Fraser joins for a very different kind of chaos. Meghan and Sarah get candid about motherhood, miscarriages, fertility, egg donation and why neither of them has any interest in becoming a sourdough-making trad wife. Then they dive into the disturbing scandal surrounding Kim Zolciak's family and the questions it raises for Bravo, the latest on Perez Hilton's recovery, and, because we apparently can't quit them, Harry and Meghan's messy new life back in the UK. Plus, why the “girlboss” era may have sold women a lie, what really matters when the career highs stop feeling so high, and Sarah commits the ultimate Citizen McCain sin: defending Meghan Markle.

Why Did a Strong Economy Justify Rate Cuts under Biden but Rate Hikes under Trump? Talerico's Pastor throws him Under the Bus. Nancy Mace Calls for the Death Penalty and Sen Mitch McConnell has to be Told How to Vote.
AI is getting smarter, faster, and cheaper and the people building it are starting to sound genuinely uneasy. That is the moment we stop scrolling past the headlines and start asking the only question that matters: what happens to regular people when the tools get powerful enough to reshape jobs, education, security, and even politics. We also own the irony right up front, including the reality that AI is already woven into daily life whether you “use AI” or not.We break down the latest warnings from major AI figures, the idea of industry-wide safeguards, and why government regulation struggles to move at the speed of modern technology. We also talk about the creep factor of AI assistants that want access to your email, calendar, and money, plus the double-edged promise that the same systems that can accelerate medical breakthroughs can also be weaponized by bad actors. From there, we connect AI to job displacement fears and the surprising upside: personalized learning and business education that used to be locked behind tuition and gatekeeping.Then we hit the rest of the week's chaos with the same filter. The penny is officially discontinued and cash purchases move toward rounding, Macklemore gets dropped from major tour venues and we debate free speech versus private property rights, and we call out evidence problems behind claims of “modern-day lynchings.” We also talk 2028 Democratic power plays, Mitch McConnell's return reigniting the “how old is too old” question, the John Brennan subpoena and the thin line between accountability and revenge, and the Sydney Sweeney ad backlash that exposes selective outrage in real time.Subscribe for more straight talk, share this with a friend who argues in good faith, and leave a review with the one headline you want us to tackle next.Support the showElsa's AMAZON STORE Elsa's FAITH & FREEDOM MERCH STOREElsa's BOOKSElsa Kurt: You may know her for her uncanny, viral Kamala Harris impressions & conservative comedy skits, but she's also a lifelong Patriot & longtime Police Wife.

James Talarico was asked one question at a Texas campaign stop: Who's your favorite drag queen in the state? He didn't hesitate. “Oh my gosh. Probably Alyssa Edwards.” Watch the clip. Then ask yourself if that's the reflex you want in a U.S. senator. Most Americans could not name a drag queen if you handed them a week. The Democratic Senate nominee in Texas had a name in under a second — and he smiled when he said it. The performer he picked, Alyssa Edwards, has described himself as a drag performer who works with children. That sits on top of Talarico's own 2023 line that Texas produces some of the best drag queens in the nation. Ken Paxton, his Republican opponent, asked the question a lot of regular people asked after the clip hit: What normal person can name his favorite drag queen this quickly? Paxton called him too weird and too radical for Texas. Pat also covered: McConnell was out three months — and he's missing again. Does he show up today for the farm bill? Talarico calls himself a Christian seminarian. He also said he's “a Christian who hates Christianity.” Judge Judy is giving up the gavel. The new Judge Judy is her son, Adam Levy. Ed Sheeran's tour debacle just got bigger — he dropped Macklemore, and now the openers are walking. There is news on the Clancy holdout juror: He's black, Haitian, and Catholic — and in hiding after her defenders came after him.

Joe takes standard political coverage and rips it to pieces. We open with the Supreme Court's 7-2 ruling turning down an emergency stay on Trump's USPS mail-in ballot executive order. From Justice Alito's fiery dissent attacking lower courts for inventing fake time constraints, to Donald Trump's blistering reaction on Truth Social, Joe lays out why millions of Americans feel the election system remains rigged to its core. We tackle the uncomfortable questions directly: If the apparatus is stacked, how did Trump pull off a win, and why is weakness in the movement the fastest path to destruction?Investigative reporter Steve Baker joins the show to blow the whistle on the official January 6 narrative. Baker exposes critical forensic discrepancies—including smartwatch tracking and gait analysis—that challenge the government's case against alleged pipe bomber Brian Cole Jr. We play exclusive frame-by-frame video comparisons alongside Baker's reporting to inspect whether federal authorities are protecting key operatives while scapegoating a vulnerable citizen.Newly unsealed FBI files detailing the twisted double life of attempted Trump assassin Thomas Crooks. From ordering weapon parts under the alias "Bob Dole" to an anonymous entity funding his cremation, the establishment's narrative continues to crumble under scrutiny. Plus, we cover Director Kash Patel's FBI thwarting an ISIS terror plot in Pennsylvania, Speaker Johnson's dividend check pitches, and Mitch McConnell's latest appearance that proves why congressional term limits cannot come soon enough.
In this mid-week episode Chad and Mary Lou show one another clips from across the aisle that address a wide range of topics including Kash Patel's public support of bestiality, Mitch Mcconnell's return to public and Mamdani and AOC's behavior at the 911 memorial service.If you have a question for anyone on the show, record it in a 1 minute or under audio or video clip and send it to:thenecessaryconversationpod@gmail.com

The outrage continues to grow over the post that Texas railroad commission candidate Bo French made about the UT Austin game. Now political commentator Ben Shapiro decided to clutch his pearls about the post in a long-winded statement, with the true point of the issue going completely over his head. They are all crying that we're racist and continue to be ignorant to the real issue: that we are slowly being pushed out of our own country, our homes, and our jobs. That wasn't the only drama from the Longhorns game. ESPN reporter Holly Rowe threw a fit after UT head coach Steve Sarkisian brushed off her weak interview to celebrate the legendary win with his team. AI videos started surfacing after the blow-off, including one that showed Sark slapping the reporter — a harmless, fake AI video that UT QB Arch Manning found funny. Now he's receiving backlash and badgering for it. We can't just all celebrate and have a good time; liberals just have to get so worked up and be so hurt all the time. Lefitsts are so hypocritical that they will be so upset about this but will be OK with fake ghetto hood rat Jasmine Crockett celebrating Chris Brown, a known abuser. Gavin Newsom, Democrat governor of California, makes the shocking remark that if Kamala Harris ran for president, he would back down to let his queen bee win. Newsom has been setting himself up to run for president for years, and now decides to cuck for drunk Aunt Kamala. We might be seeing a ghost, but it seems like Mitch McConnell is back from his medical leave. They wheeled him back to the Capitol, but it seems like the lights are on and nobody is home. He released a statement, stating that he's back and ready to vote … just for him not to show up to vote. ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 ► Home Title Lock Go to https://hometitlelock.com/sara and use promo code SARA to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of Triple Lock Protection!

Mitch McConnell just rolled back into the Senate after three months away. The Kentucky Republican is 84. He fell at his Washington home in June, was treated for pneumonia, spent two months between the hospital and rehab, then recovered at home with almost no public appearances. While Kentucky still counted him as its senator, he missed 60 recorded votes — judicial confirmations, housing and Medicare rules, immigration procedures, and votes tied to the war in Iran. On Monday, he arrived in a wheelchair, joked about dodging reporters for two decades, and said it was time to get back to work and finish the job of this Congress. He says he's not quite at 100% and that childhood polio made the recovery harder. This is not a sentimental homecoming. It's what a razor-thin Senate looks like when an 84-year-old former leader can disappear for 90 days and still be the vote the conference needs. If showing up is optional for the people writing the laws, don't be shocked when the country starts treating the job the same way. Pat also covered: A Lindsay Clancy juror drops a detail that leaves Gayle King speechless. Temperature check: How does the audience still feel about the Lindsay Clancy case? Pat doesn't want stolen goods — including pirated music. Stop it. Should the federal government regulate AI? JD Vance says that sudden push looks suspicious. More Lindsay Clancy jurors are talking — and Ron DeSantis offers “asylum” to the black holdout juror. Should a senator who missed 60 votes still hold a full term's authority? If your boss vanished for three months, would you still call that serving?
