Trump is once again talking about Vladimir Putin — this time setting up a meeting in Budapest to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. That's according to Trump himself, who said the two agreed on a phone call to meet, and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other U.S. officials would begin prep meetings with their Russian counterparts. No date has been set, but Trump described the call as productive.He also mentioned they'd loop in Zelensky during his upcoming White House visit, which adds another layer of complexity. Earlier in the week, Trump floated sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine as leverage. Whether that was serious or just bluster is up for debate, but the message was clear — he's still playing both sides. One thing he did emphasize on Truth Social was how eager Putin seemed to be about post-war trade. According to Trump, that was the real focus — not the war itself, but what comes next.This is the kind of move that makes sense if you assume Putin is trying to preempt whatever message Zelensky hopes to deliver later this week. It's also a reminder that Trump sees all of this through the lens of dealmaking, not diplomacy. He's playing to his base — the voters who see “getting a deal” as a win, regardless of what's actually in it. But as past attempts have shown, any momentum gained by just talking with Putin tends to evaporate as soon as the bombs keep falling.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Shutdown MathSenate Majority Leader John Thune hinted that the White House might walk back some of its shutdown-related moves if Democrats agree to vote for a continuing resolution. He didn't lay out specifics, but the implication was that things like furloughs or aggressive reduction-in-force orders could be reconsidered. Thune said passing a full-year appropriations package would make more clawbacks unnecessary — but until then, it's unclear what Democrats would get in return.The rumor mill is working overtime — and the story making the rounds is that Democrats will vote for the CR, then hold a vote on Obamacare subsidies separately. Chuck Schumer says that's not the plan, but let's be real: it sounds like a deal in the making. Everyone knows the play here. The question is how quickly the Democrats can make it look like they won.At the end of the day, this is all about messaging. Democrats want to go back to their base and say they got something out of this. And if a CR plus a later vote on subsidies is the path to that — well, they'll probably take it. Everything else is just noise.John Bolton IndictedJohn Bolton's been indicted. Eight counts of transmitting and ten counts of retaining national defense information. This case centers around his handling of classified documents tied to his book, which he apparently shared through personal email and notes. The FBI raided his home, and now it's up to the courts.The Biden administration says politics aren't involved, but Bolton's been a vocal Trump critic, which puts this in awkward territory. It comes on the heels of indictments for James Comey and Letitia James — all of them known Trump opponents. In those cases, the Comey case seems flimsy, while the one against Letitia James has more substance. Meanwhile, the Bolton charges had been floating around since before Trump left office in 2021.Here's where I land: this whole mess reflects the same double standard we've seen for years. People working with classified material always say the same thing — if they did what these folks are accused of, they'd be in jail. There has to be a better way to handle these documents. Until then, we'll keep getting stories like this.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:04 - Interview with Tom Joseph00:22:23 - Russia-Ukraine00:24:43 - Shutdown00:26:21 - John Bolton00:28:26 - Interview with Ryan McBeth01:13:29 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Campaign cash is flowing fast in the 2026 South Carolina governor's race — but where's it coming from, and who's really benefiting? Tara breaks down the latest fundraising numbers from Nancy Mace, Alan Wilson, Pamela Evett, and Ralph Norman — revealing who's spending big, who's saving smart, and who's getting help from beyond the Palmetto State. Then, Tara and Lee dive into the darker side of today's politics, exploring the growing tolerance for violence among younger liberals and the alarming rhetoric from party leaders fueling division across the country. From campaign war chests to ideological warfare — this is politics in America today.

Tara exposes a shocking new Cygnal poll showing just how far America's political Left has drifted — with 42% of liberals and a stunning 60% under 30 now approving of breaking the law when they “disagree with government action.” Tara connects the dots between this growing acceptance of violence, the Left's street-level mobs, and leaders like Chuck Schumer openly calling for Americans to “rise up” — language that can no longer be dismissed as metaphor. Then, she takes you inside the chaos in Chicago, where ICE agents were surrounded and attacked by violent mobs for simply doing their jobs, and explains how Democrat policies and cartel networks are fueling a nationwide crisis of lawlessness and child exploitation. Finally, Tara ties it all together with Trump's escalating standoff with Venezuela — revealing how global corruption, open borders, and domestic unrest are part of the same dangerous web.

Tara breaks down one of the most explosive developments yet — a new Cygnal poll showing that 60% of liberals under 30 approve of violence and lawbreaking when they disagree with government policy. She exposes how this growing radicalism is being fueled by left-wing rhetoric — from Chuck Schumer's “rise up” comments to the street mobs now attacking ICE officers in Chicago. Tara connects these domestic flashpoints to a deeper, global conflict: the rise of socialist cartel networks spanning from Venezuela to U.S. cities. With the Trump administration preparing covert CIA action against Nicolás Maduro's cartel regime, Tara lays out how international trafficking, political corruption, and open-border policies form one dangerous web — and why this next war may be as much about saving America's sovereignty as fighting crime abroad.

Tara exposes a growing and dangerous trend within the Left — an alarming rise in support for political violence. Citing new polling data showing that 42% of liberals — and a shocking 60% under age 30 — approve of breaking the law to achieve political goals, Tara connects the dots between rhetoric, riots, and the steady normalization of mob behavior. She unpacks Chuck Schumer's call for Americans to “rise up,” the echoes of past unrest, and the Democrats' struggle to reignite their street movements. Then, Tara pivots to the Supreme Court's pivotal Louisiana v. Callais case — a decision that could end race-based gerrymandering and shift control of up to 19 congressional seats. Finally, she tackles explosive new developments in Chicago, where ICE agents face violent mob attacks, and a liberal judge has barred them from using tear gas for defense. It's a deep dive into the chaos, control, and corruption shaping America's political landscape.

Steve is joined by Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, for a fiery conversation about the Democrats' push for Prop 50, and how it could backfire in a big way. They analyze the political missteps, public reactions, and why this fight might do more damage than Democrats expect. Then they dive into Bernie Sanders' rough moment under questioning about Chuck Schumer, and the latest polling data showing AOC as a more favorable figure than Schumer, a shocking sign of where the party's base is heading. Finally, Steve and Ivey take aim at the radical policies of New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, calling out the far-left agenda that's dragging Democrats further away from reality.

Steve is joined by Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform, to discuss the ongoing government shutdown and what it means for taxpayers. They explore why GOP unity is critical in standing up against Chuck Schumer's shutdown tactics, protecting Americans from fiscal chaos, and sending a clear message to Washington that government overreach has consequences.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett dives into a powerful monologue examining the ideological evolution of the Democratic Party, tracing its shift from a working-class coalition to a technocratic, elite-driven platform. He outlines how Bill Clinton’s embrace of globalism, Wall Street, and Beijing marked the start of a neoliberal era, later fueled by Silicon Valley’s cultural influence. Brett argues that the 2008 financial crisis catalyzed a progressive uprising—Occupy Wall Street, Bernie Sanders, and AOC—pushing the party further left. He warns that identity politics has replaced class concerns and claims the Democratic leadership now appeases campus radicals promoting anti-Semitism. Highlighting recent unrest at elite universities, he criticizes figures like Chuck Schumer for political cowardice. Brett contends that the “No Kings” movement represents a deeper rejection of Western values and civilization itself. He calls this a moment of moral clarity, urging Democrats to choose between mob rule and constitutional order, before the nation's democratic foundations are irreparably damaged Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Political Discussion – “Schumer Shutdown”: Cruz and Ferguson argue that Democrats, led by Senator Chuck Schumer, are responsible for keeping the government closed. They portray Republicans as trying to reopen the government, while Democrats allegedly refuse. President Trump is praised for redirecting Defense Department funds to pay service members during the shutdown — presented as undermining Democrats’ political strategy. Cruz claims Democrats want taxpayer-funded health care for undocumented immigrants and are motivated by political self-preservation rather than governance. They assert the shutdown will last until after the “No Kings Rally,” described as a left-wing anti-Trump protest in D.C. Advertising Segment: The conversation temporarily shifts into a sponsor ad for “Backyard Butchers,” promoting American ranchers and criticizing “Big Ag.”→ This is a common podcast monetization interlude framed around populist “buy American” messaging. Continuation of Shutdown Debate: Cruz describes the hardship for unpaid federal workers. The conversation emphasizes that Democrats’ alleged political games are causing unnecessary suffering. Cruz speculates the shutdown will only end once moderate or retiring Democrats break ranks. Tribute Segment – Charlie Kirk’s Memorial: The second half of the podcast focuses on Charlie Kirk’s posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony. Cruz recounts the event in emotional, spiritual terms, highlighting Erica Kirk’s (his widow’s) public forgiveness of Kirk’s killer. He frames this as a Christian act of grace and gospel testimony. The conversation portrays Kirk as a “martyr for truth and freedom,” comparing him to historical figures like Socrates, Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Jr. President Trump’s remarks are quoted extensively, celebrating Kirk as a visionary and moral hero. The discussion closes with reflection on Kirk’s influence on youth, his faith, and his perceived role as a symbol of conservative moral strength. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we start with comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson laying all blame at House Minority leader Chuck Schumer for allowing the government shutdown to go into it's third week.

We've officially entered the phase of the shutdown where things stop being polite and start getting real. Missed paychecks are happening this week for federal employees, and while everyone knows they'll eventually get paid, it doesn't matter. Missing a paycheck now still hurts. It gets gritty fast. Both parties are struggling to manage this moment, and honestly, neither of them is very good at what they're trying to do.On the Democratic side, they're bad at being the ones who stop the machine for a righteous cause. You can tell because half of them aren't even taking credit for the cause they're supposedly fighting for. The public explanation is that this shutdown is about Obamacare subsidies and funding for regional hospitals, but those subsidies don't expire until the end of the year. That means this fight is more about symbolism than urgency. The Democrats are also trying to repeal parts of what Trump calls the “one big beautiful bill,” though they won't say that directly. Instead, they're focused on a message that doesn't connect cleanly — and that's showing.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Then there's the filibuster angle. Democrats keep saying Republicans can end the shutdown by devolving the filibuster and voting the government open again. That's dangerous thinking. Republicans don't want to touch the filibuster because doing so would force them to start passing a lot more legislation — the kind Democrats could easily overturn later. I get the strategy. Democrats want the filibuster gone so Republicans have to own the bills they pass. Then they can campaign against them. But that's a high-stakes game to play in the middle of a shutdown.Meanwhile, the Republicans aren't handling this much better. They're out of practice at playing defense on a shutdown. Their usual posture is that government is bloated anyway, so maybe turning it off isn't the worst thing in the world. That might play well in theory, but when paychecks stop going out, people stop laughing. The White House hasn't done much to apply pressure either. No press events. No imagery. No clear sense that anything's different. To the average voter, it just feels like business as usual — and that's not how you win a messaging battle.So where does that leave us? Probably in this standoff for a while. I'd bet on this dragging past Halloween, maybe into mid-November. The continuing resolution being floated now would keep funding through November 15, which would only buy about a month before we're right back here again. The pattern is familiar. You stop one shutdown, swear never to do it again, and then do it again anyway.The most realistic off-ramp is a handful of Democratic senators breaking ranks and agreeing to a handshake deal — reopen the government now, vote on the Obamacare subsidies later. But so far, that hasn't happened. Instead, we have Chuck Schumer saying every day of this shutdown is “better for Democrats.” That's the kind of sound bite that will haunt you when paychecks are still missing and airports start slowing down.I thought this would be over already. I really did. A week ago, I said Democrats should have sold high — wrapped it up while they still had good poll numbers and claimed a moral victory. But they didn't. They thought they had more to gain by holding the line. Maybe they're right. Maybe they're wrong. Either way, we're all about to find out together.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:12 - Shutdown00:10:35 - Interview with Kirk Bado00:37:30 - Update00:37:59 - Maine00:44:40 - Ukraine00:48:01 - Argentina00:51:58 - Interview with Kirk Bado, con't01:16:41 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

No one has mastered the art of failing up quite like Dow Constantine. Chuck Schumer makes a secret fundraising trip to Seattle amid shutdown. Kamala Harris' best line yet.

President Trump returned to the United States after and monumental trip to the Middle East. After speaking to the Knesset in Israel as hostages were returned to their loved ones, the president flew to Egypt to meet with Arab leaders to sign the peace deal and end the war in Gaza. President Trump came home just in time to honor Charlie Kirk posthumously with the Presidential Medal of Freedom award. Jim McLaughlin is here to discuss President Trump's approval and where we stand in the upcoming Governor's races. In New Jersey, Jack Ciattarelli is booming with tons of momentum, having been endorsed by President Trump he is out there everyday doing events and meeting people. Mikie Sherrill on the other hand is hiding much like Kamala Harris. With a scandal at the Navy and her shady stock trading practices, Sherril is getting bombarded with bad press. In Virginia, Republicans are set to sweep the race as Abigail Spanberger is sticking by jay Jones and his homicidal fantasies. In New York, radical Socialist Zohran Mamdani is set to be the new Mayor of New York as Republicans have failed to put a good candidate forward. Interesting how all the Democrats in these races are riddled with scandal and radicalism. All the while, Chuck Schumer makes average Americans suffer so he can play politics in Congress.

Next month, New York City may elect as its next mayor a man who was pretty much unknown to the broader public a year ago. Zohran Mamdan, who is currently thirty-three years old and a member of the State Assembly, is a democratic socialist who won a primary upset against the current mayor, Eric Adams, and the former governor Andrew Cuomo, who was trying to stage a political comeback. Mamdani now leads the race by around twenty percentage points in most polls. His run for mayor is a remarkable story, but it has not been an easy one. His campaign message of affordability—his ads widely tout a rent freeze in the city—resonates with voters, but his call for further taxing the top one per cent of earners has concerned the state's governor, Kathy Hochul. In Congress, Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have yet to even endorse him. “There are many people who will say housing is a human right, and yet it oftentimes seems as if it is relegated simply to the use of it as a slogan,” Mamdani tells David Remnick at his campaign headquarters, in midtown Manhattan. “It often comes back to whether you're willing to fight for these ideals that you hold.” Donald Trump, for his part, dubs Mamdani a Communist, and has threatened to withhold federal funds from New York if he's elected, calling such a vote “a rebellion.” An attack by the President “will be an inevitability,” Mamdani says, noting that the city's legal department is understaffed for what may be an epic battle to come. “This is an Administration that looks at the flourishing of city life wherever it may be across this country as a threat to their entire political agenda. And New York City looms large in their imagination.” Zohran Mamdani's campaign was chronicled by Eric Lach, a staff writer covering New York politics and life for The New Yorker.

It's safe to say Democrats are going through something of an identity crisis at the moment. They have no clear leaders, no driving issues, and no real power in Washington. And that makes the current government shutdown an interesting test case for Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer over what they think their voters want and how best to fight Donald Trump.Our guest today, Democratic strategist Lis Smith, has not minced words when it comes to perceptions of her party.She told the New York Times that the Democratic brand was “in the toilet” and recently called for Democrats to “burn the party establishment down.”Smith, however, is not some upstart campaign disruptor. She's a veteran of twenty political campaigns, most recently as a senior adviser to Pete Buttigieg's 2020 presidential campaign.This makes her critique of the party and the work she's doing this cycle to try and fix it worth understanding and exploring more deeply.We recorded this conversation on Wednesday, October 7th.

Jon takes a stance on infighting among conservatives, and pulls receipts from 2018 on Keith Ellison for his recent interview comments. Jon takes a look at a story out of Duluth and compares it to comments from Chuck Schumer, and covers a story out of Northern MN not getting much attention.

The Democrats⁠ and their allies in the corporate media have been lying through their teeth about the government shutdown and their ridiculous demands to reopen the government. This week, Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., joins ⁠“The Signal Sitdown”⁠ to debunk the Left's chosen narratives about the government shutdown. ”They're big mad about Donald Trump,” Johnson tells The Daily Signal. “That's the 'A' answer. The 'B' answer is that [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer has a base problem, and this is a base management exercise for him.” Johnson went on to explain why Schumer's base pressured him into shutting down the government when the measures that the Senate is currently considering to end the shutdown are essentially appropriations levels set during the Biden administration, levels Congress voted to continue in March. “Chuck Schumer got rolled,” in that March funding battle, Johnson says.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Spencer Klavan and Shermichael Singleton about Dan Goldman being put on the spot by CNN's Abby Phillip and being forced to grudgingly admit that Donald Trump was able to achieve a peace deal between Israel and Hamas that Joe Biden couldn't come close to pulling off; John Fetterman angering his fellow Democrats with his praise of Donald Trump for negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and supporting him for getting the Nobel Peace Prize; CNN's Dana Bash correcting Nancy Pelosi's lie live on-air about the Democratic Party not being responsible for the government shutdown; Bernie Sanders shocking CNN's Kaitlan Collins for doubling down his support of a government shutdown until Republicans cave in to giving healthcare to undocumented immigrants; Donald Trump publicly taunting Chuck Schumer for how multiple factions of the Democratic Party now blame him for creating a government shutdown that appears to be backfiring for Democrats; CNN's Erin Burnett attacking Kristi Noem for comparing Antifa to other well known terrorist groups; and much more.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the West is committing suicide through weakness, appeasement, and open borders, allowing a fusion of Marxists and Islamists to exploit democratic systems via immigration. It is very important that we get the hostages out of Gaza, but it's also important that Hamas is destroyed, because they will come back again. It is an ideology that doesn't die, and the West doesn't understand the ideology, or people in the West don't want to deal with it.  Anti-Semitism is spreading in Western capitals, including New York. It's a gut cancer and President Trump is the only Western leader fighting it through actions on colleges, funding, and preventing U.S. decline like Britain and France.  Also, on the second anniversary of Hamas's October 7 attack Zohran Mamdani accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of launching a genocidal war in Gaza. Mamdani is a Marxist Islamist who camouflages his Hamas-loving agenda under civil liberties rhetoric.  Mamdani is silent on Muslim-on-Muslim violence in Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon by groups like Hezbollah. Later Jim Trusty calls in to discuss the lenient 97-month sentence given to Nichola Roske for attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in June 2022. The Biden-appointed Judge Paula Xinis Boardman showed bias by factoring in Roske's transgender identity and leftist politics, imposing a term far below the 360-month-to-life guidelines. This kid glove treatment sets a dangerous precedent that could encourage copycat ideological attacks on constitutional figures. Trusty also criticizes lawfare tactics in Portland, where local officials submit polished affidavits claiming no need for the National Guard amid riots, downplaying issues like lasers and guillotines near ICE headquarters.  Finally, Speaker Mike Johnson calls in to explain that the Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, are using a government shutdown as a distraction and red herring to provide Schumer political cover against potential challenges from figures like AOC. The health care subsidy issue is a fabricated fight, as it was a COVID-era policy set to expire December 31 by Democrats themselves. 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 Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Deep State Weaponization Broadcasting live from Washington, D.C., Buck Sexton covers the latest developments in the Trump administration’s showdown with Democrat-run cities, focusing on Chicago and Portland. The discussion kicks off with explosive revelations about FBI surveillance of Republican Senators, including Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, and Ron Johnson, as part of the controversial “Arctic Frost” operation. Buck highlights Attorney General Pam Bondi’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, exposing the weaponization of the FBI and DOJ and the urgent need for reform under Director Patel. Who is Leading the Democrats? Buck recaps President Trump’s Oval Office remarks, where Trump blasts Democrats for having “no leadership and no policy,” calling out figures like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Buck underscores Trump’s point, arguing that Democrats lack a clear leader for the first time in decades, with contenders like Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker jockeying for influence while the party drifts toward radicalism. Remembering Israel's 9/11 Karol Markowitz, host of The Karol Markowicz Show, reflecting on the two-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. Karol shares her perspective on the enduring trauma for Jews worldwide, the resilience of Israelis, and the disturbing rise of antisemitism in Western societies. The discussion dismantles false narratives of “genocide” against Palestinians, highlighting how media outlets like The New York Times manipulate imagery to push propaganda. Buck and Karol underscore President Trump’s unwavering support for Israel, his clarity on Middle East policy, and the broader civilizational stakes tied to unchecked immigration and radical ideology. The conversation shifts to emerging hostility toward Israel from some voices on the right, with Karol warning against conspiracy theories and emphasizing that polls still show overwhelming conservative support for Israel. She frames antisemitism as a “mind virus” that can consume individuals and societies, urging vigilance against its spread. Buck reinforces the historical context of violent indoctrination in Gaza and calls for moral clarity in U.S. foreign policy. Living with Autism In a compelling second half, Buck welcomes Leland Vittert, NewsNation host and author of Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, a Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism. Leland shares his deeply personal story of overcoming severe autism through his father’s relentless commitment to adaptation and resilience. The discussion explores the flaws in expert-driven approaches that encourage meeting children “where they are” instead of pushing them to thrive. Leland details practical strategies his father used—like instilling discipline, teaching social skills, and building character—that transformed his life. Buck relates with his own childhood struggle with a speech impediment, reinforcing the theme that parental involvement and perseverance can change destinies. The segment also tackles the surge in autism diagnoses, with Leland calling it “the scientific question of our time” and criticizing partisan attacks on efforts to find answers. His book offers hope and actionable guidance for parents navigating challenges from autism to ADHD and beyond.
