The group of men that famously helped propel Trump to the White House in 2024 is having second thoughts. Here's what that means for Republicans in the future. This show was edited by Kasia Broussalian, fact checked by Esther Gim, mixed by Shannon Mahoney, video edited by Christopher Snyder, and hosted by Astead Herndon.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, we're still waiting for the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran to be released. Iran has a copy. So does Qatar, Pakistan and Turkey. But we don't. And neither does Israel. But even if the deal was made public, no deal will change the behavior of this enemy. The Iranian regime has never and will never change its ideology. To them, we are the enemy and we must be destroyed. Those who insist a deal can be made and that it is preferable, then they have to prove it. Later, motivated by hatred of Trump, billionaires, Israel, and Jeffrey Epstein-related conspiracies, plotted a multi-phase attack on the UFC Freedom 250 White House event using explosive drones on the South Lawn followed by sniper teams to massacre fleeing attendees. The FBI foiled the plot by infiltrating the chats after a suspect's mother alerted police over his firearm purchases and radicalization. These Woke Reich conspiracy promoters are fueling such violence, as the Woke Reich overlaps significantly with Marxist-Islamist left ideologies. When Mark Levin was working in the Reagan administration he argued strenuously against a deal with the congressional Democrats where the administration would agree to grant citizenship to 2.3 million illegal aliens in exchange for promised funds to better secure the border. President Reagan did as promised, but the Democrats reneged. Mark has his disagreements with the Iran MOU, and does not believe the Iranian regime will ever honor any agreement, but Mark adores President Trump, just like Reagan. If President Trump wants the MOU to become a final deal, it will proceed regardless of opposition. Later, there are ongoing Hezbollah attacks—firing missiles and drones daily into Israel under a supposed ceasefire, directed by Iran, forcing depopulation of northern Israel. Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy never truly part of Lebanon that has murdered hundreds of Americans, assassinated Lebanon's president, and weakened the country, remains its most powerful force. The proposed MOU demanding Israel cease military operations permanently, including in Lebanon, before a final agreement risk enabling continued Iranian aggression while setting Israel up for blame if it defends itself.

ARMED STONERS ARE NOW LEGALIZED THANKS TO THE SUPREME COURT This morning we break down the 9-0 Supreme Court decision in U.S. v. Hemani, which says the government cannot automatically strip gun rights from Americans who use marijuana, with Donald Trump's own Justice Department ending up on the losing side. We get into Major League Baseball warning three Giants pitchers for writing Bible verses on their Pride Night caps, and the letters Senator Josh Hawley and Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway fired right back at the league. We cover the crude line UFC fighter Josh Hokit dropped after his win at the White House card and the backlash that came from his own side. We talk about the Alabama dad who got the police called on him for taking his daughters into an empty women's restroom, the Florida couple who chose to raise the daughter an IVF clinic mixed up at birth, and the more than one million foreign fans who came for the World Cup and fell in love with America. ⚖️ ARMED STONERS WIN AT SCOTUS: The Supreme Court rules 9-0 that Washington cannot automatically disarm marijuana users, and Trump's own DOJ is the side that lost. ⚾ MLB VS. THE BIBLE: The league warns Giants pitchers for writing Genesis on their Pride Night caps while Josh Hawley and Missouri's AG demand answers.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, heavily armed TikTokers, motivated by hatred of Trump, billionaires, Israel, and Jeffrey Epstein-related conspiracies, plotted a multi-phase attack on the UFC Freedom 250 White House event using explosive drones on the South Lawn followed by sniper teams to massacre fleeing attendees. The FBI foiled the plot by infiltrating the chats after a suspect's mother alerted police over his firearm purchases and radicalization. These Woke Reich conspiracy promoters are fueling such violence, as the Woke Reich overlaps significantly with Marxist-Islamist left ideologies. Also, Israel will endure and cannot be expected to stand idle against Hezbollah attacks (fired at Iran's behest, causing deaths and injuries) while being criticized for collateral damage in the same manner as during the Gaza conflict, where experts confirmed no genocide occurred as enemies hid among civilians. Meanwhile, the suggestion of Syria replacing Israeli efforts against Hezbollah should be rejected. Later, despite joint tax filings, average annual income of $1.4 million, $450,000 in taxes, and significant expenses like domestic workers, private school, and mortgages, questions remain about funding sources from Gavin Newsom and his wife. Yet, Newsom complains that the investigation into this is political. This defense is so hypocritical – Democrats ignored the political actions against Trump. Finally, Ambassador Michael Leiter calls in and discusses the strong alliance between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump, noting frequent phone calls, and deep mutual respect and friendship despite occasional civil disagreements. Media narratives of an acrimonious relationship are misleading, as they cherry-pick isolated tense moments. Leiter clarified that there is no rift between the two and acknowledged legitimate differences over a yet-unseen Iran deal. Israel stands as America's closest ally, making any wedge between the two nations impossible. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Last year, the President celebrated his birthday with a military parade. This year, he hosted a UFC cage match on the South Lawn of the White House. It's easy to compare it to the gladiator games honoring the Roman emperor, but Phil asks whether it's a sign that America would rather emulate pre-Christian Roman values than biblical ones. Americans can no longer agree on how to teach American history, so we're not teaching it much at all. Is it possible to recover a shared national story? Nijay Gupta is back to discuss his latest book, "Paul for the World," and why the Apostle would not recognize a modern Christianity that's focused on heaven rather than earth.

Something unusual happened across America's sports arenas this week — and almost nobody's covering it. UFC fighters quoted Scripture to Joe Rogan mid-octagon. A New York Knick dropped to his knees in worship before winning the franchise's first championship in 50 years. And a baseball player wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on his Pride Night hat — quietly reclaiming the rainbow's original biblical meaning in front of millions. Is this a coincidence? Or is something bigger shifting in the culture? Lance Wallnau breaks down the moments Christian athletes are making headlines — from the octagon to the court to the diamond — and why the mainstream media isn't sure what to do with any of it. Plus: Trump's 80th birthday at the White House, the NYC chaos after the Knicks title, Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire, and Lance's inside breakdown of why the Iran deal might actually hold. In this episode: * UFC fighters quote John 3:16 and John 10:10 live to Joe Rogan after their fights * Josh Hart leads the Knicks to their first NBA title in 50 years — and gives glory to God * NYC celebrates the championship by burning buses and racking up 63 arrests * A baseball player writes Genesis 9:12-16 on his Pride hat — and calmly explains why * Trump's 80th birthday: 5,000 people, live fights, and a South Lawn lawsuit from the left * Elon Musk hits $1 trillion — and what it means for America vs. China * The Iran deal explained: how Trump controls their cash flow through Islamic banking networks If you've been waiting for Christians to show up in the arena — they already are.

JUSTIN GAETHJE TOOK THE UNDISPUTED LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE ON THE SOUTH LAWN OF THE WHITE HOUSE, AND HALF OF WASHINGTON CALLED IT THE END OF CIVILIZATION. We start on the South Lawn, where a fighter nobody believed in won a world title on the Army's birthday, and we get into why the managerial class fears an open gate. Then we cross to Starmer's Britain, where speech is policed and a teenager dies in handcuffs while police chase a slur instead of a killer. We close with two guests on the fights closer to home.

David Rothkopf and Joanna Coles take apart Donald Trump's bizarre White House UFC spectacle, his heavily hyped “deal” with Iran, and what they argue is a presidency increasingly defined by spectacle and self-preservation. From accusations of turning the South Lawn into a political carnival, to a blistering debate over whether Trump's Iran agreement is diplomacy or surrender, the pair connect the dots between foreign policy, political theater, and the looming battles that could define the next phase of his presidency. They also dive into JD Vance's carefully polished media management, the ambitions driving MAGA's rising stars, and the deeper cultural and moral questions they believe are shaping America's future. By the end, what begins as a conversation about a birthday celebration becomes a far-reaching examination of power, loyalty, corruption, and the forces transforming Washington from the inside out.

The Stock Market explodes as The Iran deal drops this Friday. Obama's response: low-key bitter. Trump hosts UFC 250 on the South Lawn at the WH. Smug lefties like David Brooks at PBS hate it- calling it evidence of cultural decline. Men wearing dresses reading to kids and competing in women's sports was fine, though. Pick a lane.     

Last night, the nation's capital witnessed a spectacle like no other - a UFC match on the South Lawn of the White House, complete with a flyover by the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds. But it wasn't just any ordinary fight - it was a celebration of patriotism and American spirit. Meanwhile, the Democrats had their own counterprogramming, with a concert featuring Bette Midler singing a song about fascism. But how did the American people react to these two vastly different events? This episode delves into the world of politics and patriotism, discussing the recent developments in the Iran nuclear deal and the implications of the Supreme Court's upcoming decisions.

On Sunday, President Donald Trump celebrated his eightieth birthday — and the 250th anniversary of the United States — by hosting the UFC Freedom 250 event on the South Lawn of the White House. We speak with MMA sports analyst and Kombat Morning podcast host, Luke Thomas, about how the UFC helped President Trump reach an audience of young men, and what this latest event says about the power and influence of the sport.

The South Lawn of the White House has been the venue for many historic events, but what unfolded there Sunday night was a first - a UFC fight under a 92-foot-tall structure known as "The Claw." It's the only major sporting event ever staged at the White House, and it came with fireworks, a fighter plane flyover, and plenty of controversy. And it's been one big party in New York since the Knicks clinched the NBA Championship Saturday night, bringing sheer joy to the whole city. And the party isn't over. The Knicks will be given the biggest ticker-tape parade in the city's history this week. As Steven Fabian tells us, the celebrations go on and on. Plus, brides who spent months planning June weddings had no idea their big day would clash with that other big day - Game Five of the NBA Finals. Some embraced the moment, weaving the big game into the reception. Others, not so much. And they forgot to attach her bungee cord. A recent college graduate was thrown to her death, causing outrage around the world. Many are asking how they could forget the most critical step to ensure a safe jump. Ann Mercogliano has the story, and we should warn you: the video is disturbing.

While the White House threw a testosterone-fueled UFC night on the South Lawn for America's 250th — Thunderbirds, Blue Angels, fireworks — the Democrats counterprogrammed with Robert De Niro stumbling through a "we don't love our country" speech he couldn't even read off the teleprompter. Then came Jane Fonda, Joy Reid, Miss Rachel, and a Bette Midler anti-"fascist" singalong. Larry O'Connor breaks down the most geriatric, out-of-touch celebrity lineup the left has ever assembled — and why it proves conservatives just won the culture.

Listen to Daily Global #News from Grecian Echoes WNTN 1550 AM-Trump says US-Iran deal to be signed on Sunday as Tehran casts doubt on timing-President Trump is celebrating his 80th birthday by hosting a highly controversial, $60 million UFC cage fight event on the South Lawn of the White House tonight

David Rothkopf and Joanna Coles recap a week in which Donald Trump stumbled from one self-inflicted crisis to the next, from mounting questions over his handling of Iran and another controversial intelligence pick to renewed scrutiny of the Epstein files and a White House increasingly consumed by political damage control. They also unpack Trump's plan to stage a UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House as part of the celebration for his 80th birthday, examining the ethics, symbolism, and political fallout of turning the People's House into the backdrop for one of his biggest spectacles yet. Along the way, they explain why Trump's allies are growing nervous, why Democrats see momentum shifting ahead of the midterms, and why the controversies he keeps trying to outrun may finally be catching up with him.

The Washington Roundtable discusses Donald Trump's eightieth birthday, on Sunday, with a look at the pageantry and spectacle surrounding the planned U.F.C. fight on the South Lawn of the White House. The panel contrasts Trump's desire to project power and masculinity with his recent pattern of disinhibition: from allegedly falling asleep at important meetings and the N.B.A. Finals to angry outbursts at reporters, including such politically damaging statements as “I love the inflation.” Is the President fading, physically and politically? “It's not about the age; it's about the behavior,” the staff writer Evan Osnos says. “It's about the clear fact that his conduct, his cognitive function, his behavior is declining.”This week's reading: “What Jill Biden Doesn't Say in Her White House Memoir,” by Amy Davidson Sorkin “Can the World Cup Transcend Donald Trump?,” by Ishaan Tharoor “The Supreme Court's Latest Blow to Black Voters' Rights,” by Ruth Marcus “Is Elon Musk's SpaceX Really Worth $1.75 Trillion?,” by John Cassidy “Has Nancy Mace's Crusade Against Sexual Violence Ruined Her Career?,” by Moira Donegan “For the Nation's Birthday, Making It Harder to Become an American,” by Jonathan Blitzer The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Friends,Today Heather and I take a deep dive into Elon Musk's new status as America's first trillionaire — worth one thousand billion dollars — and its meaning for the future of American capitalism. How much of SpaceX's valuation is based on hype? How much on connections in the Trump regime? How much on Musk's lobbying of major stock index funds? Answer: almost all of it. We also look at Musk and Trump's (and Pete Hegseth's and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s and JD Vance's) obsession with male virility — where that comes from and how it's connected to tomorrow's cage match on the South Lawn of the White House. So please grab a cuppa, pull up a chair, and join in the conversation. This is a public episode.

Sumi, Caitríona and Bernd dig into a big week for President Trump, who is celebrating his 80th birthday - just weeks ahead of America's 250th - with UFC Freedom 250, an invite-only MMA fight on the South Lawn of the White House. Bernd reports back from the venue, where a 92-foot structure now towers over the executive mansion, while Caitríona runs through the practical headaches: searing heat, the threat of thunderstorms, swarming bugs and a fight card slimmed down from its original ambitions. The team also unpicks the controversy - a lawsuit from local residents calling it an "aesthetic injury", Trump's long relationship with UFC boss Dana White, and reports that UFC's parent company expects to make a hefty loss on the night.Why do it? The presenters explore the politics of Trump's sporting embrace - from NASCAR to the Knicks, where footage appeared to show him being booed (he says he received a great reception) - and whether the White House is using events like this to shore up support among young men. Then it's on to the World Cup: fans reporting visa delays and rejections, astronomical ticket prices, fears of immigration raids at watch parties, and Iran's team reportedly basing itself in Mexico. The White House insists America will be welcoming and secure - but can a global celebration of football rise above the politics, or will the controversies steal the show?

Strikes between Iran and Israel have stopped for now. But the back-and-forth between Israel and Hezbollah has complicated President Trump’s pursuit of a deal with Iran. The Wall Street Journal’s Alex Ward explains what’s at stake. On Sunday, the White House will host UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn. The Hollywood Reporter’s Alex Weprin joins to discuss how the event came together. As the World Cup kicks off in North America, U.S. public-health officials are preparing for potential infectious-disease outbreaks with fewer resources than they had during the pandemic. Politico’s Rachel Bluth explains what they’re on the lookout for. Plus, what to expect as South Carolina primary voters head to the polls, Los Angeles has picked its candidates for the mayoral race, and why Vice President Vance is bringing chickens to the Naval Observatory. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.

This week on The Necessary Conversation: Midweek Edition, it's just Chad and Mom (Mary Lou) trading videos from opposite sides of the political aisle. Dad (Bob) had a trip to the ER this week for a UTI — he's home now eating shrimp and recovering. Haley will be back Sunday. ❤️

We're kicking off with a Dumpster Fire Corner that basically writes itself — UFC fights on the South Lawn of the White House, an America 250 concert lineup that's... something, and Georgia gas prices ticking back up at midnight. Oh, and Jill Biden is doing press for her new book. We have thoughts. From there, we're checking in on our 2026 predictions, then catching up on stories we've been tracking: a jury found Live Nation acted as a monopoly, Ticketmaster's president admitted the queue isn't randomized (lol), and listener John asked us to dig into FIFA — so we went in on corruption, Qatar, migrant worker deaths, and whether we're personally watching the World Cup. We've also got a great mailbag this week — a listener used the confessional to blow the whistle on the current Ebola outbreak, a dispatch on government protests in Ireland from a Gen Z/Alpha listener on the ground, and a beautiful email about grandparents secretly canceling each other out with rogue baptisms. Laura's rec this week: take a mental health day. Pam's rec: 'Off Campus' (on Amazon Prime) And patrons, stick around — After Dark gets candid about what's really changed behind the scenes since Pam and Laura took over the pod.

Kurt Andersen and Joanna Coles dive into the spectacle, symbolism, and political theater surrounding Donald Trump's latest White House ambitions, from plans for a UFC-style event on the South Lawn to a MAGA-branded America 250 celebration that's already losing major performers. Andersen explains why Trump's embrace of entertainment, celebrity culture, and grievance politics was visible decades ago, tracing the roots of what he calls America's long-running “Fantasyland” obsession with self-created narratives. Along the way, they unpack the cabinet's astonishing displays of loyalty, Trump's fixation on revenge, the unraveling politics around Iran, and a startling 1991 MAD Magazine cartoon that seemed to predict Trump's future with uncanny accuracy. It's a conversation about power, performance, and why some of the strangest moments in American politics may reveal more than the biggest headlines. Ready to reach your goals?

David Rothkopf and Joanna Coles dive into the unraveling chaos surrounding Donald Trump's latest political gambles, from the shocking rise of scandal-plagued Texas firebrand Ken Paxton to mounting questions about Trump's health after yet another visit to Walter Reed. Rothkopf tears into MAGA's “doubling down” strategy as polls collapse, Trump allies turn on each other, and the White House transforms into what he calls a gaudy monument to excess with a $60 million UFC spectacle on the South Lawn. The conversation veers from Trump's physical decline and Jeff Bezos' defense of the administration to the fallout from America's escalating Iran crisis, stalled oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and fears that the country is becoming dangerously weaker on every front.
