Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter is back in the classroom — and this time, the lesson is urgent.One week out from Equity Week 2026, Dr. Hunter — professor of sociology and African American studies, author of Radical Reparations: Healing the Soul of a Nation, and NBJC board member — walks us through everything you need to know. Why the week exists. Who it was built for. What it asks of you.Then we go deeper. The Trump administration's $1.7 billion fund to compensate January 6th participants is not just wrong — it's a moral inversion. Dr. Hunter breaks it down: the difference between hush money and reparations, what the Central Park Five actually had to wait for, and why enslaved people didn't need pardons because they never committed a crime.He also gives the class a new frame: reparative justice. What it is, why it covers everything from police reform to educational equity, and why — when it comes to reparations — our work has already been done.Equity Week 2026 is June 10–13 in Washington, D.C.

Ralph speaks to independent investigative journalist Lylla Younes to discuss her reporting on Israel's assault on southern Lebanon. Then, Ralph and media studies professor Robin Andersen discuss her new book "The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of the Genocide in Gaza."Lylla Younes is a Beirut-based journalist. She is an editor at The Public Source, and a frequent contributor to Drop Site News.What we've seen in the past several days is really an escalation of what's been happening since March 2nd (when the US-Israeli assault on Iran took off) and then obviously the ceasefire… What we see is a campaign of ethnic cleansing from the Israeli military in Lebanon. And that has looked like the Gaza playbook sped up, you could say, in southern Lebanon. It's looked like invading and bulldozing homes; tearing up roads; destroying, booby-trapping, and detonating entire villages and cultural sites. It's looked like targeting medical personnel—killing, at this point, over 100 since March 2nd (this is in addition to the 130 or so who were killed in the last round of fighting in 2024). In addition to that, the targeting and killing of journalists who are reporting near the border. I think it's important to note there's practically no one left in the border region. Having a press vest on and a microphone and a camera is basically like having a target on your back at this point.Lylla YounesThe pager attack was, I think it's fair to say, one of the darker days of Lebanese history. I think regardless of people's feelings about Hezbollah, the fact that you are setting men alight literally in the streets in cities all across the country, killing children, maiming children—the mark of the pager attack was that these pagers that Hezbollah members were carrying exploded in their faces and blinded them. So you have thousands of blinded people, people missing fingers. And again, some of these are relatives of Hezbollah members. It was a massive event that overwhelmed hospitals across the country. And it also marked the beginning of that 66 day [period] of escalated fighting. And it showed how deeply infiltrated Hezbollah was in an intelligence capacity. This was quite a feat by the Israeli Mossad.Lylla YounesRobin Andersen is professor emerita of media studies at Fordham University and an award-winning author of a dozen single- and co-authored books. She serves as a Project Censored Judge, and contributes to the annual State of the Free Press. She is on the Board of Directors of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), where she also writes regularly, and is an Izzy Award Judge for the Park Center for Independent Media. Her latest book is The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel's Genocide in Gaza.In my book, I look at the directives of the New York Times and CNN, and then I compare it to media coverage. And I found that, in fact, these were the ways [the directives that were passed down] in which the media was presenting the genocide in Gaza…But in terms of the Israeli directives, CNN was putting their copy through their Jerusalem bureau and the IDF was looking at it. The New York Times was simply going along with Israeli talking points. So we did find that. And the real telling part was when they finally did say that Israel dropped the bomb, it was only when Israel had admitted—or put their propaganda to the next level, which was to claim that they had killed a Hamas commander or a fighter or somebody involved in Hamas. And we found that also in the BBC. So those were direct things that came from Israel. And abandoning their journalistic mission, the US media was basically following the dictates of a foreign government.Robin AndersenTheir form of censorship was basically murder. They knew that as the genocide wore on (and Israel controlled the narrative for a very long time, and then it started to collapse) as over time we saw on the internet, we saw on our handheld devices the documentation of what was happening [they'd lose control of the narrative]. And so in a total propaganda environment, what we have to have is no noise, no opposition, no alternative information. And Israel really was trying to achieve a total propaganda environment. It wasn't enough that they had establishment in legacy media and those media were allowing outside influences to direct their editorial decisions. That wasn't quite enough.Robin AndersenNews 5/29/26* This week, Democratic Socialist Mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani unveiled his plan to construct 200,000 new rent-stabilized homes in the city over the next decade, PIX 11 reports, making good on a campaign promise that many supposedly savvy political observers doubted. In addition to the new construction, Mamdani vowed to “preserve and stabilize” an additional 200,000 via New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) repairs, increased housing code enforcement, and a special focus on development in the Bronx. In his announcement, Mamdani said “We are the largest city in the nation. We have the resources, the talent, and the will to achieve this.”* In the federal government, one of the most controversial members of the Trump administration – former Democratic Congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard – has resigned her position as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). The BBC reports Gabbard is citing her husband's recent bone cancer diagnosis as the reason for her departure, but also notes that Gabbard “has largely been out of public view even as the US took military action against Iran, put pressure on Cuba, and…removed Venezuela's president.” In theory, these would all require a substantial degree of participation from and coordination with the DNI, but Gabbard seemed pointedly out of the loop. The actions of the administration have also been diametrically opposed to Gabbard's past foreign policy positions, defined by her 2020 slogan “no more regime change wars.” Others have noted that Gabbard now joins former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as high-profile women ousted from the Trump administration while glaringly incompetent men like Pete Hegseth remain in their posts.* Turning to Texas, this week saw a political bloodbath in the runoffs for the primaries held back in March. The topline of course is that scandal-plagued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, backed by Trump, triumphed over powerful longtime incumbent Senator John Cornyn. With the backing of the president, Paxton wiped the floor with Cornyn, winning around two-thirds of the vote. Yet Paxton goes into the general election against James Talarico very weak. 35% of those polled “Disapprove Strongly” of Paxton with only 15% saying they “Strongly Approve” according to the Texas Politics Project and even the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) condemned Paxton's “lies” “incompetence” personal scandals and corruption in now-deleted press releases. Further down the ballot, incumbent Democratic Members of Congress Al Green and Julie Johnson have been defeated in their primary run-offs, after being forced into Member-on-Member races by the Texas redistricting scheme.* Meanwhile in Michigan, NOTUS reports the Working Families Party (WFP) has endorsed progressive Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed. This primary campaign, with El-Sayed running against moderate Congresswoman Haley Stevens and liberal state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, has become a bruising tripartite affair pitting the three major factions within the Democratic Party against one another. Recently, El-Sayed has taken the lead in this race, which WFP hopes to help consolidate, saying it is prepared to go “all in” on this race. WFP is feeling confident following their role in helping to ensure victory for Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania and Analilia Mejia in New Jersey.* In the Garden State, Senator Andy Kim was caught in a cloud of pepper spray this week as he joined protestors outside of a privately-run ICE detention facility, NJ.com reports. The protests began as a result of an ongoing hunger strike inside of the facility, which has led many high-profile New Jersey Democrats – including Governor Mikie Sherill and Congressman Robert Menendez Jr. in addition to Senator Kim – to call for the facility's closure. Following the confrontation, Kim stated that “What we saw here is unfortunately just what we see all over the country…It's sad…sad day.” At another point, Kim said “The cruelty that you see behind me, this is the point…Right now, I'm trying to have them not point guns at us.”* In another case of outrageous overreach by the Trump administration, Fox reports the Treasury Department has served subpoenas to CodePink activist Medea Benjamin and political streamer and influencer Hasan Piker seeking “financial, logistical and communications information” regarding their recent humanitarian voyage to Cuba. According to this story, the Treasury probe – handled through their Office of Foreign Assets Control – is primarily concerned with whether the convoy “violated U.S. sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has condemned the probe, writing that “Weaponizing the Treasury Department to target Americans for exercising their constitutional right to support human rights is unacceptable.” CAIR went on to call the investigation “performative and politically-motivated,” contending that “Every American who believes in the rule of law and human rights should stand in solidarity with Medea and demand that the Treasury Department drop its McCarthyite witch hunt.”* The Democrats meanwhile are once again conspiring against one another. The Bulwark reports the campaign to unseat Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin is back on – and now includes viable alternatives. Previously, discontent was mounting but there did not appear to be any other options. Presently though, the list circulating in Democratic circles consists of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, former EMILY's List president Stephanie Schriock, former president of the Service Employees International Union Mary Kay Henry, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro, former chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Lavora Barnes, and former Wisconsin party chair Ben Wikler. Wikler, who revitalized the Beaver State party and placed second against Martin in the DNC Chair election, has “rebuffed discussions about leading the DNC, saying he wants nothing to do with effort to remove Martin and isn't interested in replacing him.” Yet even with no obvious alternative, calls are mounting for Martin to step aside. This piece cites statements by progressive Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, as well as a new initiative by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee on one side, alongside statements by more moderate Reps. Marc Veasey and Seth Moulton to the same effect. Still, many state parties and an equally ideologically diverse coalition is standing by Martin, so he will likely remain in place, at least for the time being.* Looking southward, this week Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that her country will host the Iranian team ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Per Al Jazeera, the United States, which is hosting many of the matches, including all three the Iranian team was scheduled to play in, expressed that they did not think it “appropriate” for Iranian team members to be in the country, “for their own life and safety.” FIFA approached Mexico as an alternative. In her daily press conference, Sheinbaum stated that “We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico.” The Iranian team has also announced they will be moving their training base from Tucson to Tijuana, but still plan to enter the United States to play their games – with Trump saying they will be “welcome,” despite the fact American authorities have yet to issue the necessary visas.* Our final two stories involve the Pope. First, AP reports that this week Pope Leo XIV made an historic apology not only for the Catholic Church's role in legitimizing slavery, but its failure to condemn the practice for centuries afterwards. Pope Leo called this a “wound in Christian memory.” Leo, the first American Pope, can point to both enslaved people and slave owners in his familial lineage, a remarkable vantage point from which to issue this statement in his first ever encyclical ”Magnifica Humanitas.”* Yet, for how historic this section of the encyclical is, it is not the portion of it that drew the most attention. That would be the section on Artificial Intelligence. Pope Leo writes “Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together.” Leo goes on to make the critical point that “technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate, and use it.” He further goes on to state that “the pressure of new ideologies or certain highly powerful interests” can reduce the human person to “a resource to be used and exploited” or evaluated “on what they achieve or produce,” whereas God creates each individual person in His image and imbues them with inherent dignity. It is impossible to say whether the Pontiff's words will move the titans of the tech industry to change their ways, but his moving rhetoric is sure to significantly influence the world's view of AI, both today and for students of history.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Why did Democrats really lose in 2024 — and why are they still struggling to reconnect with working-class voters? Political commentator and Substack writer Matt Robison joins Howard Monroe for a candid deep dive into the Democratic Party's “autopsy,” the growing backlash to “woke” politics, trans sports controversies, immigration, media ecosystems, and the long-term branding crisis facing Democrats heading into 2028.Matt argues that Democrats face a deeper problem than messaging alone: voters increasingly see the party as disconnected from everyday concerns like inflation, immigration, fairness, and economic anxiety. Drawing on new polling from Pew, Blueprint, and other sources, Matt explains why issues like DEI, transgender athletes in women's sports, and cultural overreach have become potent political vulnerabilities — even as Americans continue supporting equality and anti-discrimination in principle.The conversation also explores:Why the official DNC “autopsy” fell flatWhether Democrats are trapped by activist cultural politicsWhy Republicans dominate the media ecosystemThe future of podcasts, YouTube, and Substack in politicsWhether Democrats can produce a new “Bill Clinton”-style rebrandWhy the 2028 nominee may emerge from nowhereEarly signs of Republican pushback against Donald TrumpIf you're trying to understand where American politics may be headed next, this is one of the most honest conversations you'll hear.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro and summer plans1:00 Why the 2026 World Cup could be huge for America2:05 The DNC “autopsy” begins2:45 Why Matt calls the autopsy “half-assed”3:30 Democrats' real problem: a broken brand4:40 “Woke, weak, and way too liberal”5:20 How Democrats handed Republicans cultural ammunition6:00 Polling on DEI and diversity6:50 Polling on transgender issues and women's sports8:00 The Blueprint postmortem and why Harris lost swing voters9:10 Inflation, immigration, and cultural backlash10:00 Seth Moulton and Democratic fear of dissent11:15 “You can't beat deplorables by being insufferables”12:00 Why Democrats need a new standard-bearer13:00 Why the 2028 nominee may come from nowhere14:30 The danger of another “out-woke” primary16:00 Why Democrats failed to build a media ecosystem18:00 Is the “liberal media” a myth?19:30 Conservative talk radio and Republican media dominance21:00 Why campaigns “rent attention”22:00 Podcasts, YouTube, and independent media opportunities23:00 Kamala Harris and the vice presidency debate24:00 Immigration politics and Harris's strategic mistakes25:00 Republican pushback against Trump begins?26:00 Trump's grip on Republican primaries26:40 Trump as a growing political liability#Politics #Democrats #Trump #KamalaHarris #2024Election #Woke #DEI #TransIssues #PoliticalPodcast #BeyondPolitics #Substack #Media #PoliticalAnalysis #Election2028 #MattRobison
Greg Kelly Reports | May 20, 2026 - The show opens on a jolt of accountability as a former prosecutor tied to the Jack Smith investigation gets indicted, turning the lawfare machine back on itself and hinting that bigger names may be exposed next. - New York is cast as a city governed by unserious people, where basic public safety collapses so badly that a woman dies after stepping into an uncovered manhole while officials stay busy with drag events, media fights, and political vanity. - January 6 is reframed as a massive abuse of state power, with talk of compensation for defendants treated not as charity but as overdue repayment for lives wrecked by political prosecutions. - Seth Moulton gets hammered as a careerist fraud who turns military service into political theater, then uses it to undercut people who actually support Trump's agenda and current military leadership. - The broader theme is that the establishment keeps failing at the basics — justice, infrastructure, honesty, and competence — while pretending emotional performance and bureaucratic sanctimony can cover the rot.

Joanna Coles speaks with Rep. Seth Moulton in a blistering, no-holds-barred conversation on the escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, Moulton warns the U.S. is losing ground to Iran while accusing the Trump administration and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of catastrophic missteps, legal overreach, and dangerous misinformation. He slams Trump as acting like a petulant child and becoming an increasing threat to U.S. troops, national security, and the economy, while unpacking the fallout from abandoning the Obama-era nuclear deal and the growing risk of a nuclear-armed Iran. From the reality behind so-called “ceasefires” to dysfunction in Washington, Moulton connects global instability to domestic political failure, outlines his Senate ambitions, and argues Democrats must embrace a new generation ready to confront AI, economic anxiety, and a rapidly shifting world.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 1, 2026. We open with a number the media doesn't want you to focus on — 74% of Americans, including a majority of Democrats and independents, agree it is in America's national interest to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. That's according to a Harvard Harris poll, which leans left by about five points. We talk about what it means that three out of four Americans agree on a major national security issue in a country the media tells us is hopelessly divided, why the media's obsession with conflict distorts our understanding of where most Americans actually stand, and why the real division in this country isn't between the American people — it's between the American people and the people who claim to speak for them. In our Top 3 Thing You Need to Know, the 76-day Democrat shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security is officially over — Republicans passed a funding bill over total Democrat obstruction, and Democrats got none of the changes they wanted. ICE and Border Patrol are fully funded. Then President Trump signed an executive order creating Trump IRAs — retirement savings accounts available to Americans who can't access them through their employers, with up to $1,000 in federal matching funds for those earning under $35,000 a year. A 25-year-old who invests $165 a month under the program could have $465,000 by retirement. And President Trump has pulled his second Surgeon General nominee and named Dr. Nicole Sapphire — a licensed radiologist and director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering — to the position, after the Senate refused to confirm a nominee who had never completed her medical residency and holds no state medical license. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dig into divorce law and whether the system is biased against fathers — and the Kentucky data that is turning heads. After Kentucky made 50-50 shared custody the legal default in 2018, the state's divorce rate fell roughly 25% over the next several years. We talk about why that makes sense, why the financial and custody certainty of equal sharing may be causing couples to work harder to stay together, what firsthand experience with biased family courts looks like, and why loving your children more than you hate your ex is the only standard that actually protects them. We cover the rhetoric-to-violence pipeline — specifically the logical endpoint of eight to ten years of Democrats and media figures calling President Trump a fascist, a Hitler, a pedophile, a rapist, and an existential threat to democracy. We explain why you cannot spend a decade using that language and then stand at a podium after another assassination attempt saying there's no place for political violence. If you believe what you're saying, the violence is the logical conclusion. And that is exactly the problem. In our Digging Deep segment, we do a comprehensive state-by-state accounting of the redistricting war following the Supreme Court's ruling on racial gerrymandering — mapping out where Republicans and Democrats each stand to gain seats, which states are moving, which might move before this fall, and what the net effect could be on House control. We walk through Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, and a list of Southern states now emboldened by the Supreme Court decision — and on the Democrat side, California, Virginia, and Utah. When you add it all up, Republicans could be looking at a net gain of anywhere from 8 to 26 seats through redistricting alone — in a House currently separated by six seats. We explain who actually started this war — hint: it was Eric Holder and Mark Elias — and why the Supreme Court just changed the rules of the game. We also cover Representative Jamie Raskin's claim that the Supreme Court has been gerrymandered — and explain why that sentence has no meaning, why the Supreme Court is not a political body, what it's actually supposed to do, and what it tells you about where the left is right now that their best argument against a ruling they don't like is a word that doesn't apply. Then we play Fake News Friday — real news, fake news, or really fake news — including John Hinckley Jr. weighing in on the Washington Hilton, Seth Moulton's Nazi submarine comparison to Pete Hegseth, Kamala Harris calling the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps British Redcoats in front of King Charles, and whether President Trump is really considering renaming ICE to the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement so the media will be forced to call them NICE. We also address the UAE's warning that no Iranian arrangements on the Strait of Hormuz can be trusted — and talk about why the UAE may actually benefit from keeping the strait closed, since they have a pipeline that bypasses it entirely. And we close with AJ Haradas at the Boston Marathon — who fell four times after the 26-mile marker and was about to crawl to the finish line when two strangers, Aaron Beggs and Robinson Oliveira, came up on either side and carried him across. Three men who didn't know each other. One finish line. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Sixty days. $25 billion. No open Strait of Hormuz, no enriched uranium recovered, no regime change, and gas prices up 42% since late February. That's the scoreboard on Iran, and it's the backdrop for Pete Hegseth's first real hearing — where combat veterans Seth Moulton and Pat Ryan finally put the Secretary of Defense through the wringer. Paul Rieckhoff joins the conversation to break down what oversight looks like when it actually shows up, why JD Vance and Dan Driscoll are watching, and why this war is metastasizing into something bigger than Iran. From Marco Rubio floating strikes on Cuba to Trump leaning on Putin as a peacemaker, this is forever war logic dressed up in new packaging — all gas, no brakes, no congressional authorization, and no plus-up for the VA to care for the next generation of veterans it'll create. Paul also unpacks the Comey indictment, the chilling effect on Jimmy Kimmel and the free press, and why the King of England sounded more like Reagan on alliances than the current administration.

Pete Hegseth lied to Congress while 175 dead kids cooled in the rubble. Trump lost to Iran. Comey got indicted for a tweet. The Defense Secretary is a fascist with crusader tattoos. None of this is hyperbole. It's the record. *In this episode:* • Hegseth caught lying under oath about the war with Iran • A Tomahawk killed 175 children in an elementary school • His own mother called him a serial abuser — in writing • Trump threatens to yank 35,000 troops from Germany • Comey indicted by Trump's hand-picked prosecutor • Seth Moulton names the war crime: "no quarter" Key figures: Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump, James Comey, Adam Smith, Seth Moulton, Friedrich Merz, Todd Blanche
May 2, 2026, 9 AM ; Trump's claim came on what was the 60-day deadline for him to gain approval from Congress to continue the war with Iran. Meanwhile, in his first Capitol Hill appearances since the start of the war, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was grilled about a host of issues, including the cost of the war, which the Pentagon put at $25B dollars over two months. Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton joins The Weekend to discuss Hegseth's testimony to congress and the conflict's mounting price tag.

Concerns have come up regarding Markey’s age (79) and whether he’s too old to serve another 6-year term, however according to the polls, age criticisms don’t appear to threaten Markey’s front runner status. Dave Paleologos, Director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center joined us to discuss their new poll in greater detail!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump claims we have "total air superiority" over Iran. Pete Hegseth calls our military operations "flawless." But the reality is an F-15 and an A-10 Warthog smoking in the Iranian desert on Friday. How did two of our most advanced jets get swatted out of the sky by a "decimated" enemy? Welcome to The Mop-Up. While Pete Hegseth is busy holding Protestant-only prayer services at the Pentagon and asking for "divine wrath," the actual US military is burning through 25% of our Tomahawk missile stockpile in just five weeks. It takes two years to restock. Do the math. We aren't just losing the hardware; we're losing the moral high ground. US troops are being pulled off airbases and blended into civilian populations — a move that, by any other name, is using human shields. Meanwhile, Trump is proposing a $1.5 trillion military budget to build "Trump Class Battle Ships" while gutting FEMA, education, and disease research. The Pope is calling for a ceasefire. Our allies in Europe and Japan are cutting their own deals with Tehran. We are isolated, overextended, and led by a man who thinks prayer is a substitute for a flight plan. In this episode: • The F-15 and A-10 Takedowns – What really happened in the skies over Iran. • Stockpile Collapse – Why we're running out of Tomahawks faster than we can build them. • Human Shields – The Pentagon's new strategy of embedding troops in civilian centers. • The $1.5T Grift – Who loses their social safety net to pay for "Trump Class Battle Ships." • International Breakaway – Why the world is leaving Washington behind. Key Figures: Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump, Seth Moulton, Pope Leo, Archbishop Timothy Broglio, Marco Rubio, Susan Collins, Pastor Doug Wilson, Paula White-Cain.
As tensions with Iran escalate, the political war at home is heating up just as fast. Democrats are now openly threatening to prosecute Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth in international courts, while Trump pushes aggressive action against Iran's nuclear program. Is this accountability—or political warfare during a global crisis? Tara breaks down the shocking rhetoric from figures like James Carville and Seth Moulton, the growing nuclear threat, and what it all means for America's future. ⚡ SEGMENT BREAKDOWN
Donald Trump has put a lot of energy into boasting about U.S. military dominance over Iran, including eliminating Iran's ability to shoot down planes. As is the case with so much of Trump's talk, reality has shown him to be ill-informed, lying, or both. Donald Trump's fixation on the sensational aspects of warfare and his shallow understanding of setting goals are keeping his mission in Iran directionless and confusing. Veteran Pentagon journalist Barbara Starr, David Noriega, MS NOW national reporter and Lt. Col. Amy McGrath discuss. Rep. Seth Moulton joins to discuss how Donald Trump's griftiness is wroking in overdrive now that he has started a war with Iran. Rep. Madeleine Dean explains why JD Vance is a poor choice for "fraud czar." And David Miliband, president & CEO of the International Rescue Committee, explains why Donald Trump's war on Iran could result in a major disruption of the world's food supply.

Now-former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem managed to keep her job despite a constant stream of scandals and outrages, but as soon as she suggested that Donald Trump, as president of the United States, and therefore her boss, knew about the corruption highlighted in Congressional hearings, that was too much for Trump to tolerate. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz talks with Jen Psaki about all of the reasons former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem should have been fired from her job before Donald Trump finally reached his limit today, and why Noem should get used to spending more time in Minnesota because, as Walz says, "We're going to want some answers" about the ICE abuses that happened in his state under Noem's command. Senator Markwayne Mullin was already a character of dubious competence based on his conduct in hearings and media interviews, but as Donald Trump's choice to replace Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security at a time when ICE is out of control and the U.S. is at war with Iran, expectations for improvements at DHS are low. Rep. Pay Ryan, Rep. Jake Auchincloss, Rep. Seth Moulton, and Rep. Maggie Goodlander, all veterans of U.S. military service, discuss with Jen Psaki. And in the midst of an already chaotic news day, even more Jeffrey Epstein documents were relased. Lisa Rubin joins to explain the new material.

Democrats should be doing victory laps right now, after President Donald Trump's rambling State of the Union address is already polling as the least popular SOTU speech of the century. Yet, the party still appears to be in worse shape than ever before, suffering from their own record-low approval ratings. Perhaps that's why people like Rep. Seth Moulton, a 47-year old Iraq War veteran, are calling for a change in leadership, as he challenges 79-year old Senator Ed Markey for his Massachusetts Senate seat. In this wide-ranging and challenging interview with the centrist Democratic congressman, Mehdi asks Moulton whether he can beat a progressive incumbent senator with such high approval ratings, and also challenges him on his own voting record in the House.

Rep. Seth Moulton talks with Jen Psaki about why so many Democrats (and even some Republicans) want Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to resign or be impeached after agencies under her purview have not only terrorized whole communities but left two Americans dead.Senator Alex Padilla, who visited California's largest immigration prison and was shocked at what he heard from detainees, talks with Jen Psaki about how the abuses of ICE don't stop with the terrorizing tactics used to hunt and detail immigrants in the U.S., but extend to what Donald Trump is doing with the tens of thousands of people he is holding at facilities across the country.Jeh Johnson, former secretary of Homeland Security, talks with Jen Psaki about how irregular it is that the DHS would investigate itself for the deadly shootings of protesters in Minneapolis, and how the pre-judging by Kristi Noem and other DHS officials make an impartial investigation extremely unlikely.

Congressman Seth Moulton joins Joanna Coles for a no frills, clear account of the Venezuela crisis — and why he believes the administration is lying to Congress at every turn. From chaotic briefings where officials dodge questions, to Republican colleagues privately admitting they would be outraged if a Democrat did the same, Moulton argues the United States has no real plan, only escalation. He connects the timing to distractions over healthcare premiums and the Epstein files, criticizes Democratic leaders for failing to level with voters, and makes the case for generational change, age limits, and his own Senate run — while warning that a weakened Congress and normalized “crazy” are far more dangerous than most Americans realize. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
