Podcast appearances and mentions of Mitch McConnell

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is at the center of the Trump administration. He's helping to lead negotiations over the war in Iran, the pressure campaign on Cuba's communist regime, and U.S. efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine. It wasn't always this way. Journalist and author Manuel Roig-Franzia breaks down how Rubio went from Trump critic to his chief booster, and whether it's all in service of a potential presidential run in 2028.And, in a sharp and rare rebuke of President Trump, Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell slammed the administration's $1.776 billion so-called 'anti-weaponization' fund, calling it "utterly stupid" and "morally wrong." Princeton University historian Julian Zelizer explains McConnell's reaction and why it should be viewed through the lens of McConnell's decision not to convict Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

May 23, 2026, 8 AM; Clyburn is South Carolina's only Black member of the U.S. House and one of the most influential voices in congress and the Democratic party, and this move would further dilute Black voting power in the state for potentially decades. The new map still has to get through the State Senate, which yesterday failed to secure enough votes to finalize it before early voting begins Tuesday in South Carolina's primary election. Some Republicans don't seem to be totally on board with five of them joining Democrats in opposing a rushed process. Fmr. Rep. Joe Cunningham and Adam Serwer join The Weekend to discuss the latest redistricting efforts by the GOP in that state.

Today's Headlines: Two January 6th police officers — Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges — filed a lawsuit to block Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund, naming Trump, Todd Blanche, and Scott Bessent, while exactly one Republican congressman, Brian Fitzpatrick, called it out publicly — prompting Trump to immediately shitpost about Fitzpatrick's wife. On the primaries, Tuesday's results confirmed that Trump owns the GOP completely: Mitch McConnell lost his Senate primary to a Trump-endorsed challenger, Georgia has two runoff races next month with no clear Trump favorite in either, and Alabama is in redistricting limbo with a special primary coming in August. The through-line is simple — any hint of dissent costs you your job, even as Trump's approval rating drops and voters are furious about costs. The Ebola outbreak is moving fast, with over 600 suspected cases and 139 deaths — a 30% jump in a single day — a 30-50% fatality rate, no treatment, and a vaccine still months away. The International Rescue Committee says Trump's USAID cuts left the region dangerously unprepared to catch the outbreak early, though the State Department has now pledged to fund 50 treatment clinics, which is good, and also something USAID was already doing before it was gutted. Remember when shitposting about Charlie Kirk was treated like a crime? Well, a retired Tennessee cop spent 37 days in jail and lost his job over a Facebook post quoting Trump after a school shooting — Perry County will now pay him $835,000 for the First Amendment violation, which seems like an expensive lesson. In real life Succession, James Murdoch officially acquired roughly half of Vox Media including New York Magazine and its podcast network for over $300 million, with The Verge and Eater not included in the deal. SpaceX filed for its IPO yesterday at a $1.25 trillion valuation — one day after Elon lost his OpenAI trial — with Musk's compensation package including a billion shares that only vest when there's a permanent Mars colony of at least one million people, so that's his retirement plan. OpenAI is filing for its IPO tomorrow at an $850 billion valuation, Anthropic is raising money at a $900 billion valuation, and Trump endorsed Spencer Pratt for mayor of Los Angeles, calling him "a character" and "a big MAGA person," with Pratt currently polling between second and third ahead of the June 2nd primary.

DESCRIPTION Tara opens up about her daughter's graduation, parenting teenage drivers, and the life lessons kids refuse to learn the easy way. Then the conversation pivots hard into Washington, where Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton signals a major shift in the Republican Party's war against establishment “RINOs,” open-border Republicans, and the old Bush-era political machine. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show starts with a personal and emotional moment as Tara reflects on watching her daughter graduate and prepares for the next chapter of parenting. That leads into a broader conversation about teenagers, driving, seat belts, and the tragic consequences of reckless behavior behind the wheel. Tara and Lee discuss how many fatal crashes involving teenage boys are preventable, emphasizing the importance of seat belts, slowing down on curves, and understanding basic driving physics. They also highlight other preventable health tragedies, including the importance of mammograms and colonoscopies. In the second half of the show, the focus shifts sharply to Republican Party politics. Tara argues that the “RINO” wing of the GOP — including figures tied to the Bush-era establishment — has spent decades undermining conservative priorities, especially on immigration and border security. The discussion centers on Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton and what Tara describes as a growing revolt against establishment Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham. The episode frames the current GOP divide as a battle between grassroots conservatives and the old guard “unit party” Republicans who Tara says have prioritized compromise and open-border policies over American sovereignty. KEY TOPICS Parenting teenagers and watching kids grow up Teenage driving dangers and seat belt safety Preventable deaths from reckless driving Importance of preventive healthcare screenings Trump endorsing Ken Paxton GOP establishment vs. conservative populists Border security and immigration politics Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and Republican infighting The future direction of the Republican Party

Tara opens with an emotional reflection on her daughter's graduation and the challenges of raising teenage drivers before pivoting into a fiery breakdown of Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton and what she calls the collapse of the Bush-era Republican “unit party.” The episode also dives into concerns about election integrity, Senate obstruction, and the alarming disappearance of millions of men from the American workforce. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show begins on a deeply personal note as Tara talks about watching her daughter graduate and the emotional reality of seeing children grow up seemingly overnight. The conversation shifts into parenting teenage drivers, the dangers of reckless driving, and why seat belts, preventive healthcare, and life experience matter more than young people realize. Tara and Lee discuss fatal crashes involving teenage boys, the importance of airbags and seat belts, and how simple decisions can mean the difference between life and death. The show also touches on mammograms, colonoscopies, and the importance of preventive medicine. The second half of the episode pivots sharply into politics, with Tara arguing that Trump has finally broken from establishment Republicans by endorsing Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in Texas. Tara frames the battle as a war between the America First movement and the Bush-era “RINO” wing of the Republican Party, focusing heavily on the SAVE Act, immigration policy, voter rolls, and Senate leadership. The discussion expands into criticism of Senate Republicans, Mitch McConnell, and John Thune, with Tara arguing that establishment Republicans have repeatedly blocked Trump's agenda. The episode concludes with a discussion about declining male workforce participation in America and the growing number of working-age men who have disappeared from the labor force. KEY TOPICS Parenting and watching children graduate Teenage driving safety and seat belts Preventive healthcare and screenings Trump endorses Ken Paxton John Cornyn and the GOP establishment The SAVE Act and election integrity Mitch McConnell and Senate leadership criticism America First vs. Bush-era Republicans Workforce participation decline among men Economic and cultural shifts in America

Voters are casting their ballots in key primaries across six states as President Trump announces he is endorsing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Senate runoff. Kentucky Senate candidates Daniel Cameron (R), Charles Booker (D) and Amy McGrath (D) join Meet the Press NOW to discuss their bid to replace Sen. Mitch McConnell. The Department of Justice sets up a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund after President Trump drops his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eric and Eliot survey a wide range of jackassery, highlighting Trump's bizarre attack on longtime Mitch McConnell aide Robert Karem. They discuss Trump's gross mismanagement of the Department of Defense as exemplified by the US Army budget shortfall due to National Guard deployments to US cities and the border. They debate the intelligence community's leaked assessment of Iran's surviving missile and launcher capabilities and what advice they would give to a hypothetical "normal" administration on how to successfully extricate from Iran. They also review the Trump-Xi Summit in China, assess trump's designs on Cuba, and discuss the broader implications of Turkey's newly unveiled ICBM.Eric on the Reagan Defense Build Up (Gift Link):https://thedispatch.com/next-250/peace-through-strength-reagan-250/?gift_key=e0d7f3be6686eb5a&gift_ref=3886671&utm_source=giftlink&utm_campaign=membergift&utm_medium=copy_linkEric on Turkey's New ICBM:https://www.thebulwark.com/p/turkey-new-missile-is-a-symbol-of-gobal-chaos-erdogan-yildirimhan-icbm-saha-trump-europe-russia-ukraine-iran-israel-natoShield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

Mitch McConnell

It's Hump Day on The Majority Report On today's Program: Wholesale inflation jumped 6% in April but Trump says he doesn't care because he is laser-focused on preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. In spooky-scary news, Trump has threatened to change the name of Operation Epic fury to Operation Sledgehammer if ceasefire talks fail. So scary! Brad Lander joins the show to discuss his campaign for New York's 10th Congressional district. Isaac Saul, politics reporter and founder of Tangle News joins the show for a conversation about his piece on Trump's self-dealings headlined: "The Everything, Everywhere, all at Once Corruption Story". In the Fun Half: Don Jr. and Eric Trump took over 590,000 $100 deposits for Trump Mobile phones and not one confirmed customer has received a phone. Senator John Fetterman goes on Real Time with Bill Maher and tries to defend his call for a ban on "lab meat" but is too incoherent to string a sentence together. Senator Mitch McConnell is essentially a groaning corpse at this point. 82-year-old Rep. Virginia Foxx responds to a letter from a fourth grader who was excited to share his persuasive essay homework assignment with the representative by attacking him and his teacher. All that and more.

Inflation Jumps 3.8%. Trump Disapproval on Economy Hits 70%! Senator McConnell is Not Well. Osborn Leads Ricketts in Nebraska. Mendoza Gives Trump the Stiff-arm. Kari Lake Appointed Ambassador to Jamaica!?  It's Testimony Tuesday and the corruption is on full display. Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine are on the Hill asking Congress for $1.5 trillion more for the Pentagon — a Christmas tree budget designed to bankroll the unauthorized Iran war and whatever comes next, whether that's Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, or Cuba. Buried in the same hearing: the Pentagon's own CFO admitting the Iran tab is now $29 billion and counting, $4 billion more than Americans were told. Gas is up, beef is up, tomatoes are up 40%, inflation just hit a five-year high, and 70% of the country disapproves of Trump on the economy. The pigs are at the trough and the rest of us are getting screwed. Paul breaks down why the December defense vote is the real fight, why Hegseth's open defiance of Congress on Ukraine aid is impeachment-grade, and why FBI Director Crash Patel spending his testimony defending his sobriety is not a sign of a healthy republic. He hits the Mitch McConnell mid-hearing meltdown — fitness, not age, is the metric — calls out Kari Lake being shipped to Jamaica, flags Dan Osborn pulling ahead of Pete Ricketts in Nebraska, and closes with the people stepping up to be the vaccine: nurses on International Nurses Day, Ukrainian medics under shellfire, and the new Astronauts for America.

CannCon and Ashe bring Ash Wednesday with a show that ranges from the absurd to the consequential. Missouri's Supreme Court upholds redrawn congressional maps that effectively eliminate the only Democrat seat, and Mississippi sets a special session to redraw Bennie Thompson's district. Ashe and CannCon use the redistricting wave to make the deeper argument: the real problem is not who draws the districts but the 1929 cap at 435 representatives that makes political manipulation structurally inevitable. A Brooklyn Democrat assembly candidate has 90% of her 5,258 nominating signatures thrown out, including two from voters who have been dead for over a decade. Dr. Andrew Paquette's Why We Vote appearance the night before revealed 1.5 million cloned voter registrations in New York alone in 2020, and CannCon and Ashe show that US registered voter turnout hit 94.1% in 2020, higher than countries with compulsory voting. Kevin Warsh clears his Senate hurdle 51-45. Kash Patel eviscerates Senator Van Hollen live in committee. An undercover video catches a White House budget official calling Trump a madman. Trump calls out Mitch McConnell's Democratic-aligned handler Robert Karim by name.

1. Eric Swalwell Campaign Collapse Eric Swalwell reportedly ended/suspended his campaign for California governor after multiple sexual misconduct allegations. Allegations include sexual assault, rape, unwanted contact, and inappropriate behavior, some allegedly involving intoxicated individuals. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is described as opening a criminal investigation, raising potential legal exposure. Around 50 former staffers publicly condemned Swalwell, suggesting alleged behavior was widely known. Swalwell denies all allegations, calling them false and politically motivated. 2. Democratic Party Hypocrisy and Political Calculations The speaker claims Democrats: Are calling for Swalwell to suspend his campaign, but not resign from Congress, due to narrow House margins. Act only when misconduct threatens electoral chances rather than out of concern for victims. California’s “jungle primary” system is highlighted as a reason Democrats panicked, since two Republicans could theoretically advance to the general election. The segment accuses Democrats of double standards, comparing Swalwell’s situation with other Democratic lawmakers allegedly facing ethics violations. 3. Republican Strategy: Reconciliation and Legislative Urgency A Republican lawmaker argues this is the last realistic window to pass conservative priorities before likely midterm losses. Advocates for a large-scale budget reconciliation bill with “tentpole” items such as: Long-term funding for ICE and CBP Preventing government shutdowns Indexing capital gains taxes to inflation Airport and TSA funding guarantees Election integrity provisions tied to federal funding Criticism of past Republican leadership (including Mitch McConnell) for failing to use reconciliation aggressively. 4. New York City Luxury Property Tax Criticism Focuses on NYC politician (Mamdani) promoting a “pied-à-terre” tax on luxury second homes over $5 million. The tax aims to raise $500 million annually to fund social programs. Commentary portrays the policy as: Anti-wealth, vindictive, and punitive Likely to accelerate wealth and job flight from NYC Examples cited include: Ken Griffin (Citadel) Elon Musk leaving California for Texas Claims that high taxes drive businesses and wealthy individuals to lower-tax states, harming long-term economic health.

Iran war. Exploding national debt. Abortion. Immigration. AIPAC.Nate Morris — the businessman running to replace Mitch McConnell in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race — sat down with me and took tough questions from both me and live listeners.We hit those issues head-on, plus much more.No attacks. No softballs. Just direct questions wanting answers.

We've hidden David Waldman somewhere in the United States. Follow the clues, find Kagro, and he will personally autograph the body part of his choice! Donald K. Trump might not be telling us the truth… about his height. When he stands next to people who are established to be his height, weight, etc., he seems to have embellished a bit… Of course, he could just be a moron. Trump heard that Riley Gaines might have dissed him but didn't recognize Riley as the participation trophy star of Mitch McConnell wannabe Andy Barr's campaign commercials. Gaines then had to apologize to Trump. This lying moron is the most powerful and weakest person on Earth and is destroying everything, everywhere, all at once. If Hungary can do it, we can too. In fact, Hungary is doing it for us too.

U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell reacts to President Donald Trump's warning that ‘a whole civilization will die tonight' unless Iran reaches a deal, the Kentucky Democratic Party calls for an investigation into a Republican state senator, and the support Morehead State University students are providing to the historic Artemis II mission.

Founder of the Stewart Group and former aide to Senators Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn, Don "Stew" Stewart discusses the daring rescue of an American airman in Iran and the looming battles over President Trump's Department of War budget. Plus, Dana and Stew examine why healthcare remains the top concern for voters heading into the midterms.  Purple State: Stew points out how viral branding has taken over traditional policy platforms, and both sides of the aisle are grappling with a "death of policy" that prioritizes a TikTok-ready personality.

Radell Lewis breaks down the resignation of Joe Kent, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who publicly stated that Iran posed no imminent threat and that the US was pressured into war by Israel and its powerful American lobby. Radell and Danny explore the responses from AIPAC, J Street, and the ADL, along with Mitch McConnell's controversial statement lumping isolationists and anti-Semites together (despite isolationism being a core MAGA pillar). The conversation dives into the strategic significance of Karg Island, where 2,500 Marines are being deployed to secure 90% of Iran's oil exports, and why this conflict mirrors the mistakes of Vietnam and Afghanistan. The episode also covers Joe Rogan's criticism of Trump's war, the growing fractures inside the Republican base, ProPublica's reporting on insider trading by Trump administration officials (including Pam Bondi's well timed stock sale before the tariff crash), Polymarket corruption, child content creator exploitation on YouTube, the case for stronger protections for kid celebrities, and a look ahead at the 2026 midterms with Ohio as a key battleground. Radell closes with thoughts on what Democrats need to prioritize: economic messaging, anti-corruption accountability, and ending gerrymandering.

This week on Truth To Power, we bring you an important conversation in the face of the 2026 mid-term elections. On January 15th, 120 Oberlin College alumni and friends participated in a widely anticipated online program called "What is the Democratic Party?" Professor Larry Jacobs of the University of Minnesota served as moderator for an energetic conversation that featured Holly Fechner and John Lawrence, both of whom worked for Democratic members of Congress and have decades of experience working in politics. Comments by Holly and John reflected optimism for the Democrats to take control of the House, but they considered prospects for the Democrats to take the Senate to be not so promising but possible. Historical trends favoring the opposition party in midterm elections, the unpopularity of Trump, and negative perceptions of the economy are among the key factors now favoring the Democrats. Wildcards that could trip the Democrats include disenfranchisement of Democratic-leaning voters through redistricting, restricting mail-in and early voting options, and deployments of military and other security forces to intimidate voters. It was posited that the Democrats still needed to change their approach and widen their appeal across class lines, because of perceptions that the Party is too West/East Coastal, too old, and too beholden to donors and the educated elite. Alternatively, it was argued that the Democrats have been pursuing policies that advance the welfare of “regular” Americans by pursuing policy initiatives that address “affordability,” health care, educational opportunities, and the environment, but the Party's messaging can get sidetracked by “cultural” issues that are important, but are distracting to the general populace. To wit, the priority of selecting candidates who could win elections was illustrated by a quote from former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi who said that Democrats on the Hill would be merely resigned to having “a conversation” if they lacked majority control of the House. Panelists highlighted examples across America's history in which the forces of “illiberalism” were overcome, and they maintained that public protests are important to build solidarity and demonstrate the resilience of the opposition.

Roger Stone and guest John Fawcett critique the integrity of various political figures while positioning themselves as unfiltered truth-tellers within the MAGA movement. The conversation primarily focuses on allegations of financial corruption and self-dealing, highlighting suspicious no-bid contracts involving Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, as well as the insider trading advantages supposedly enjoyed by career politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell. They also seek to marginalize former allies such as Steve Bannon, whom they portray as a deceptive and self-important figure whose past associations and personal character disqualify him from leadership.

A blockbuster day of political, electoral, and global revelations. The Trump FBI has obtained terabytes of Arizona voter records from 2020 and 2024, sparking a firestorm in the media. Meanwhile, Trump declassifies his reasoning behind strikes on Iran, tying decades of policy missteps back to Obama's administration. And in a surprising domestic health alert, millennial men are facing a low testosterone crisis, with effects on libido, muscle mass, and fertility unseen in prior generations. SUMMARY Today's show covers three major stories shaking America: Arizona Voter Rolls Seized The Trump FBI, via a secret grand jury subpoena, has obtained electronic voter registration and election data from Maricopa County. Democrats and media outlets have reacted with outrage, calling it a "privacy violation," though legal experts note it was conducted under proper legal authority. Congressional observers report alarming ballot handling in 2024: mail-in ballots were stored with blanks in unsecured facilities, violating chain-of-custody laws. The fight over the SAFE Act intensifies as Republican leaders John Thune and Mitch McConnell continue to block full transparency efforts, citing procedural concerns. Trump on Iran & Obama-era Policies Trump publicly explains why decisive strikes against Iran's nuclear and missile programs were necessary. He links the current conflict to policies under former President Obama, which allowed Iran to develop long-range missiles and expand nuclear capabilities. Trump argues the destruction is necessary to prevent a future Democratic administration from facing an empowered Iran, warning of “ten years of destruction” to reset their capabilities. Millennial Men's Health Crisis Doctors report alarming declines in free testosterone among men in their 30s and 40s. Symptoms include low libido, erectile dysfunction, early prostate issues, and reduced muscle mass. Causes are linked to environmental chemicals, ultra-processed foods, and endocrine disruptors, often invisible in standard lab tests. From voter integrity and foreign policy to public health, today's episode uncovers the issues that could define America's future. SOCIAL MEDIA POST Title: Trump FBI Gets Arizona Voter Records, Iran Strategy, and Millennial Men in Crisis Description: Election integrity, foreign policy, and a health epidemic collide in today's explosive episode. Message: Terabytes of voter data from Arizona's 2020 and 2024 elections are now in the hands of the Trump FBI—sparking a media firestorm. Meanwhile, Trump declassifies his rationale for strikes on Iran, tracing the threat back to Obama-era policy. On the home front, millennial men face a hidden health crisis: low testosterone, impacting libido, muscle, and fertility at unprecedented rates. Get the full story on why America's future is being shaped on multiple fronts. #Trump #FBI #ArizonaVoterRolls #IranPolicy #ObamaLegacy #ElectionIntegrity #MillennialMenHealth #TestosteroneCrisis #NationalSecurity #Politics HASHTAGS FOR FIRST COMMENT #BreakingNews #VoterFraud #SAFEAct #ForeignPolicy #MiddleEastCrisis #MenHealth #HormoneCrisis #USPolitics #ElectionWatch #GlobalSecurity CUSTOM LABELS Trump voter rolls, Maricopa County subpoena, election integrity, SAFE Act battle, Iran nuclear strikes, Obama-era Iran policy, Middle East strategy, millennial men health, testosterone decline, fertility concerns, public health alert, Republican procedural battles

Mike sounds the alarm over growing frustration inside the Republican Party as Senate leadership hesitates to move forward with the SAVE America Act, a bill supporters say would require voter ID and proof of citizenship in federal elections. He questions why establishment Republicans like John Thune and Mitch McConnell appear reluctant to back legislation that polls show overwhelming public support for, even as President Trump argues passing it would energize voters and secure the midterms. Mike also takes calls from listeners who believe the fight over election integrity has become a defining test of whether Republican leaders are willing to confront both Democrats and their own party establishment.

Hillary Clinton's closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Jeffrey Epstein produced zero new information, as she repeatedly denied ever meeting Epstein, having any connection to him, or knowing about his crimes. Despite over six hours of questioning, her answers stayed limited to blanket denials like "I never met Jeffrey Epstein" and "I had no idea about their criminal activities," offering nothing substantive to advance the probe into elite accountability. Critics see this as classic evasion, with Clinton dismissing the entire session as repetitive "political theater" designed to distract from others like President Trump rather than uncover truth for victims.

The Supreme Court drops a bombshell ruling on presidential tariff authority — and the financial consequences could be massive. With estimates ranging from $175 billion to potentially $2 trillion in refunds, damages, and legal claims, businesses are lining up for repayment after tariffs were ruled unconstitutional. What does this mean for the U.S. economy, trade negotiations, and President Trump's strategy moving forward? We break down: The legal limits on presidential tariff powers The economic ripple effects now hitting Wall Street Why secondary tariffs may still survive How manufacturing is shifting back to America The geopolitical strategy behind Taiwan chip factories relocating to Arizona And a fiery Senate standoff involving Mitch McConnell, John Thune, Lindsey Graham, and Tim Scott Is this the end of tariffs as a primary economic lever? Or a strategic pivot moment? We unpack the good news, the bad news, and what happens next. ⏱ Suggested Episode Structure (45–60 min) Segment 1 – The Supreme Court Ruling (10–15 min) Court rules president cannot use emergency powers to levy tariffs Constitutional basis: Congress holds tariff authority Estimated refund exposure: $175B baseline Potential total liability: $1–2 trillion including damages and interest Lawsuits beyond refunds (harm claims, legal fees) Mention: The Wall Street Journal analysis skepticism Historical context: tariffs retained under Joe Biden Segment 2 – Secondary Tariffs & Legal Strategy (8–10 min) Use of Section 232 & 301 authorities President retains embargo power Narrow scope of ruling Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outlines alternative tools Political communication missteps vs strategic unpredictability Segment 3 – Manufacturing & National Security Strategy (10–15 min) Trade deficits down Bilateral deficit with China reduced Manufacturing returning to U.S. “Build here, compete here” model 100% expensing incentives Taiwan & chip strategy: Relocation of advanced chip production from Taiwan Strategic tension with China Arizona fabrication facilities National security implications Segment 4 – Political Firestorm in the Senate (10–15 min) Election reform bill stalling Filibuster rules controversy Committee control battle Internal GOP friction Key players: Mitch McConnell John Thune Lindsey Graham Tim Scott Midterm implications (2026 outlook).

Today's episode connects two explosive fronts in the political fight: 1️⃣ President Donald Trump escalating what supporters describe as a full-scale war against Mexican cartels. 2️⃣ A brewing battle in Congress over voter rolls, Social Security numbers, and the SAVE Act. From border militarization and cartel extraditions… to allegations of voter fraud, automatic registration, and a stalled Senate bill — this is a deep dive into the power struggle shaping 2026 and beyond. ⚡ PRIMARY TALKING POINTS Trump's cartel crackdown framed as national security war Texas vs. federal government during the Joe Biden administration Warnings from Ken Paxton about cartel expansion Extradition of high-ranking members of the Sinaloa Cartel Courtroom fallout tied to the ATF gunwalking scandal The death of Brian Terry Claims surrounding Social Security issuance to noncitizens Automatic voter registration laws in multiple states Senate gridlock over the SAVE Act The role of Mitch McConnell in committee control Pressure on Senate leadership including John Thune and Lindsey Graham

-- On the Show -- Michael Wolff, journalist and best-selling author, joins us to discuss Trump's return to power, the Epstein scandal, and his latest book "All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America" -- Donald Trump attacks Supreme Court justices as disloyal and foreign-controlled after they strike down his tariffs as unconstitutional -- Republican leaders including Don Bacon, Mitch McConnell, and Rand Paul publicly reject Donald Trump's attempt to reimpose tariffs, signaling a growing loss of influence within the party -- Donald Trump repeatedly asks advisers whether JD Vance or Marco Rubio should succeed him in 2028, revealing deep insecurity about his legacy and fear of backing a losing candidate -- Donald Trump posts an angry Truth Social rant claiming he gained power after losing at the Supreme Court, reframing defeat as victory while attacking the legitimacy of the judiciary -- New polling data highlighted by Harry Enten shows Donald Trump suffering his worst independent voter approval ratings and lowest pre-State of the Union numbers of either term -- C-SPAN confirms a caller using the name John Barron was not Donald Trump, exposing how online commentators amplified an unverified claim that fit existing narratives -- Donald Trump demands that Netflix fire Susan Rice after she criticizes corporate deference to him, raising concerns about presidential pressure on private companies

After the Supreme Court struck down Donald Trump's tariffs, he detonated. He targeted justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, fuming that the ruling was an “embarrassment to their families.” He doubled down on the idea that he has unilateral tariff power. He tacitly threatened to investigate the high court for foreign influences. He called the ruling a “disgrace to our nation.” Yet this is backfiring: It prompted GOP Representative Don Bacon to declare that this might prompt more GOP votes to constrain him, remarking that Trump “didn't do himself any favors.” Indeed, after we recorded this episode, Senator Mitch McConnell pointedly noted that Congress is “not an inconvenience to avoid,” suggesting more Congressional action ahead, and other Republicans celebrated the ruling.  We talked to legal scholar Matthew Seligman, a lawyer for some of the businesses looking for tariff refunds. He explains why the ruling was such a major rebuke, why Trump's efforts to revive the tariffs might encounter turbulence, and how his impotent fury—and the GOP response to it—undermine his political mystique in a deeper sense.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode Title: Cartels, Media Frenzy & America's Leverage Runtime: ~18–22 minutes Tone: Direct, urgent, opinion-driven

Conservative activist Scott Pressler makes his return to the program to discuss his voter turnout and election integrity work and the SAVE America Act, which Pressler argues must be brought to the Senate floor and passed to avoid repeating GOP legislative failures after 2016 and risking losses in the 2026 midterms. Pressler says he will escalate pressure on senators who are not supporting the bill—citing Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and John Thune—by organizing handwritten letter campaigns while the Senate is on break and later moving to rallies and in-person visits, with planned trips to Alaska, Kentucky, and South Dakota. He notes Susan Collins supports the act, expresses disappointment that private citizens are working harder than Congress to deliver on 2024 promises, and says the situation makes him consider running for office. Pressler adds he has not spoken directly with President Trump recently but spent a week on Capitol Hill meeting over 80 members of Congress to build relationships and promote election integrity reform.
