Podcast appearances and mentions of Lindsey Graham

In this Special Edition of Geopolitics with Ghost, host Ghost returns from France on his birthday and the anniversary of the 2017 Sword Dance to deliver a sweeping, multilayered recap of Trump's monumental Middle East tour. He begins with a breakdown of Russia's Victory Day parade, Xi and Putin's alliance, and Burkina Faso's Traoré defying Western regime-change operations. But the heart of the episode lies in Ghost's granular analysis of Trump's stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, marking a new era of sovereign alliances and massive economic reorientation. Ghost details over $2 trillion in trade, energy, defense, and tech deals, including space partnerships, missile defense systems, rare earth mineral investments, and Trump Towers rising in Jeddah and Dubai. He connects threads between Trump, MBS, AI, Kanye's “Drome” city project, XAI investments, and symbolic cues like Trump's crosshatch tie. Also covered: Syria's quiet shift, Rubio's evolving stance, MBS's quiet power moves, and legacy narrative warfare from neocons like Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin. This is Ghost at his best, braiding geopolitics, comms, history, and deep symbolism into a compelling vision of what comes after the collapse of the old guard.

Here's what we do know:On Tuesday, during a press availability in the Oval Office of the White House, President Donald Trump told reporters that the total number of living hostages in Gaza dropped from 24 to 21. “As of today, it's 21. Three have died.”, he said. Israel maintains that officially, the list of living hostages remains 24. Trump also said that the US would stop bombing Yemen's Houthis after the Iran-backed group had agreed to stop interrupting important shipping lanes in the Middle East. The announcement did not mention the Houthi attacks on Israel, including a missile that hit Ben Gurion international airport on Saturday, to which Israel responded with a crippling attack on Yemen's international airport in Sanaa. Following Trump's announcement, a spokesman for the Houthis pledged that the strikes on Israel would continue. On Thursday, sources told Reuters that the United States is no longer demanding Saudi Arabia normalize ties with Israel as a condition for developing its nuclear program - a major concession by Washington. Senator Lindsey Graham says he opposes any pact with the Saudis that excludes normalization with Jewish state. Earlier in the week, on Monday, Israel's security cabinet authorized plans for the widening of the Gaza invasion, which if taken to its logical conclusion, meaning Hamas refuses to surrender and release the hostages – could result in an Israeli reoccupation of Gaza and reestablishing some permanent presence there.It is unclear at this point if this military plan is going to be implemented, or if it is used as leverage on Hamas as a negotiating tactic. That said, Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich said on Monday that “We are finally going to occupy the Gaza Strip. We will stop being afraid of the word' occupation.” To unpack what this all means, we are joined by Lahav Harkov, Senior Political Correspondent for Jewish Insider. Senior Fellow at the Misgav Institute for National Security.(00:00) Introduction(04:56) Potential US-Saudi deal(13:33) What do the Saudi's want?(15:37) IDF operations in Gaza(21:10) How would occupation work?(26:58) Strain on reservist soldiers(34:13) What are the options for Hamas?CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer 

On the fifty-eighth episode, Shane, Matthew, and Ben are joined by William B. Allen, Professor Emeritus of Political Philosophy at Michigan State University, to discuss Montesquieu's political philosophy and its influence on the American Founding and eighteenth-century British politics.

What's up Theology Nerds! Today on the podcast I'm joined by my brilliant friend Diana Butler Bass for another edition of "Ruining Dinner" as we mark the first 100 days of Trump's second administration.

Chuck Todd is joined by Benjamin Wittes, editor-in-chief of Lawfare, to break down the widespread legal violations committed by the Trump administration during Donald Trump's first three months in office.Chuck opens the episode by underscoring the gravity of the moment and why Trump appears to show little respect for the law or the authority of the courts.Ben Wittes then joins the conversation to discuss the constitutional amendments the administration may have violated, whether Trump is defying Supreme Court rulings, and what a potential legal showdown over his immigration policies could look like.They examine the administration's targeting of law firms and universities, where institutional pressure could serve as a check on executive overreach, and whether lawsuits filed by state attorneys general stand a chance in court.Finally, they unpack Trump's use of executive orders against his critics, why the U.S. is losing its reputation as a global “beacon of freedom,” and Ben shares one reason he still holds onto a sense of optimism.0:00 First 90 days of the Trump administration has been tumultuous 1:45 Congress is sitting on its hands2:45 The administration is slowing down routine investigations 4:00 This is a dangerous moment for the country5:30 Trump is “flooding the zone”8:15 There are legal ways to handle deportations but Trump isn't interested9:30 They've violated amendments four through nine11:30 Trump left Biden a legal quagmire over the border, but Biden didn't handle it well12:30 Prices will rise in the next 60-90 days 14:00 Incompetence has defined Trump's administration thus far15:00 Administration is trending toward monarchy 16:45 Lindsey Graham has gone radio silent18:55 Benjamin Wittes joins the show! 21:10 Trump is violating multiple constitutional amendments 23:30 Is Trump violating the Supreme Court ruling? 25:55 Did the Supreme Court water down their ruling? 27:05 All 9 justices agreed on the premise 28:05 What would satisfy the court's order to "facilitate" the return of Abrego Garcia? 29:40 If Trump asked for the prisoner back, Bukele wouldn't say no 30:45 The White House is brazenly violating court orders 32:10 The administration is extorting law firms 36:45 How will Harvard's decision to fight back affect them? 38:35 Is the administration going out of their way to pick fights? 39:55 They're creating criminal impunity for allies 40:45 Administration is using civil litigation to target enemies 41:55 The government will pay more in damages than money saved by DOGE45:00 John Roberts is issuing rulings meant to avoid confrontation with Trump 46:25 SCOTUS justices are aware Trump is flaunting their ruling 48:45 Trump is putting tremendous stress on his own party 49:25 Are Trump's actions uniting SCOTUS against him? 52:25 What to make of the three liberal justices putting out a press release? 54:55 How alarmed are the six conservative justices? 56:05 Expectations for California's tariff lawsuit? 58:55 The president has civil immunity from defamation lawsuits 1:01:15 Targeting Krebs and Taylor are two of the most egregious acts so far 1:05:25 Trump 2.0 is an entirely different proposition 1:06:55 What authoritarian model does Trump most emulate? 1:07:55 Ben projected "Trump and Vance betrayed the country" on the Washington monument1:10:55 The beacon of freedom has been turned off1:12:25 Ben's hammock studio 1:14:15 Administration is targeting people the public doesn't care much about 1:16:05 The goal is to stop it from getting worse1:18:03 Showdown with SCOTUS looming?1:19:30 Chuck's Nats rant - Fix the bullpen!(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)

Join Dan and Corey in a no-holds-barred episode of Libservative, where they kick things off with a half-drunken debate on what constitutes a real truck. Dive into Corey's wild car-buying adventures and critique of the Masters' snobby vibe. They roast the hypocritical Democrats and the stupidity of recent Trump protests, while calling out Lindsey Graham's warmongering tweets. The duo also tackles the convoluted dating scene, shares hilariously bizarre TikToks, and delivers brutal truths about America's oligarchic reality.

The fight for America's fiscal stability is intensifying as Congress grapples with massive deficits and ballooning budgets. Lindsey Graham's budget proposal, aiming for minimal cuts, has sparked a showdown, while Elon Musk and Donald Trump advocate for radical fiscal reforms to avoid bankruptcy. With the middle class at risk and essential programs under threat, where will America go from here?

Lindsey Graham's budget proposal reveals a disturbing truth: the Republican Party, at least its leadership, seems committed to leading the U.S. down a path toward bankruptcy. With a paltry $4 billion cut over ten years, this budget will not even begin to address the massive deficits threatening the economy. Amid rising inflation and financial instability, Graham's plan, tied to Trump's agenda, risks the future of the American middle class. Will the fight against fiscal collapse come from within the GOP itself?

Lindsey Graham's controversial budget plan is putting Trump's agenda in jeopardy, but is it really a solution or a dangerous betrayal of fiscal conservatism? As the GOP RINOs align with the Biden administration's lies, the future of America's economy hangs in the balance. Explore the real cost of their actions and what it means for the nation's financial future.

Lindsey Graham's controversial budget proposal has exposed the GOP's dangerous commitment to runaway spending, with only a mere $4 billion cut over a decade. While Trump's agenda, including deportations and military contracts, is tied to this budget, the real cost could be America's financial collapse. As inflation soars and the middle class faces unprecedented struggles, can the GOP truly avoid the debt death cycle? Or is this the beginning of the end for fiscal conservatism?

In this episode, Liz Wheeler interviews BlazeTV colleague Steve Deace, host of the "Steve Deace Show," about President Donald Trump's genius and daring plan against China. Is President Trump using tariffs to defeat Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party in the same manner that President Ronald Reagan used his economic policy to defeat the Soviet Union? Plus, country legend John Rich of "Big & Rich" revealed on the "Try That in a Small Town Podcast" the surprising conversation he had with President Trump about Dr. Anthony Fauci, the CDC, the FDA, the WHO, COVID, and the COVID vaccine. Rich even reveals that Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) even tried to get him to shut his mouth. Watch!
