She is joined by James Carville to discuss what Democrats got wrong in November and where to go from here. Next, Jen is joined by Representative Jim Clyburn for a wide-ranging interview, including his thoughts ahead of the four-year anniversary of the violent January 6 insurrection and how Democrats can find common ground with Republicans in the new Congress. Then, legal experts Neal Katyal and Andrew Weissmann join the show to discuss Judge Merchan's orders for Donald Trump to be sentenced in his hush money case and why Merchan signaled that he will not be sentencing Trump to jail time. Later, Jen breaks down the GOP's attempts to falsely tie the New Orleans terrorist attack to the border and how it reveals their larger goal of stoking fears as groundwork for their extreme immigration policies. Finally, Jen is joined by former DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to discuss the latest updates on the Bourbon Street attack and how Trump's disinformation distracts from the real investigative efforts being conducted by law enforcement.Check out our social pages below:https://twitter.com/InsideWithPsakihttps://www.instagram.com/InsideWithPsaki/https://www.tiktok.com/@insidewithpsakihttps://www.msnbc.com/jen-psaki

Let's talk about the cost of Johnson's speakership for Trump....

Creepy zealot Mike Johnson barely won the speakership again. We learned more about the Army veteran who blew himself up in a Tesla Cyber truck at a Trump Vegas hotel. Diddler and former GOP Congressperson Matt Gaetz's debut on OANN was a clinic on how not to do makeup. Cokey Smurf, AKA Don Jr., blathered criticisms upon New Year's Eve guests at Mara Lago where his android sister-in-law Lara butchered another Tom Petty song. Shark Tank oligarch Kevin O'Leary wants Canada to be absorbed by the US. Tooty Rudy Giuliani faced contempt hearing for not turning over assets to the election workers he defamed. Shitler is angry-pants because flags will be at half-mast during his inauguration in honor of President Jimmy Carter. A bizarre Christian scheme named after an obscure Bible reference was launched by evangelical load Lance Wallnaus. Apartheid mouth-breather Elon Musk hasn't been convincing portraying alter ego Adrian Dittmann.

It's Casual Friday! Sam & Emma speak with Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent for The Nation, to discuss the upcoming stories to watch in 2025. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the House vote over the GOP Speakership, Trump's transition team, Biden's blocking of the Nippon Steel's takeover of US Steel, GOP judges killing Net Neutrality, the identities behind the attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, California captive audience ban, Bird Flu, SEIU action, and Social Security retirement age requirements, before expanding on today's big Speakership vote as Mike Johnson begins to feel the heat. Jeet Heer then joins, diving right into today's ongoing fight over the Speakership, unpacking why, despite all the groveling, the GOP is likely to stand firm in line, just as they do with Trump. Next, Heer, Sam, and Emma parse thoroughly through the OTHER ongoing fight amid the GOP over the validity of H-1B Visas, a work visa for immigrants that puts their rights and wellbeing entirely in the hands of the corporation that employs them, unpacking the pro-H-1B (let's exploit immigrants) and anti-H-1B (no, we hate immigrants!) arguments on the right, before diving deeper into a genuine leftist critique of how these visa's work to lower rights for both workers and immigrants writ large, and the right's desire to use them as a part of their Social Darwinist vision. Jeet also expands on the failing tactic among progressive Democrats to work within the DNC power structure, tackling the potential for a new progressive movement to build up power in the House and Senate outside of the party infrastructure, and the growing possibility of said movement as we enter an era of seemingly anti-system electorate, also responding to some pushback about the mutual-exclusion of being a party outsider while still working with the party, before wrapping up with a brief conversation on Jordan Peterson, Pierre Poilievre, and the state of Canadian politics. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma parse through the ongoing discourse from the GOP over H-B1 visas, as the embrace of the exploitation of immigrants comes in conflict with the rejection of those immigrants themselves, with Charlie Kirk's crew helping to add some “DEI” dog-whistling into the mix. They also watch Mike Johnson sulk his way out of Congress until his ultimate victory in the speakership vote, and Sam walks the audience through the absurdities of Social Security's income cap, plus, your calls and IMs!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Will Mike Johnson Retain the House Speakership? According to The Wall Street Journal, Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) will not vote for Johnson on Friday. Siobhan Hughes writes: “House Republicans have 219 seats, compared with 215 for Democrats, who are expected to stay united in backing their leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.). The math means if only one other Republican joins Massie in voting for an alternative candidate, Johnson could fall short of a majority. While other Republicans have grumbled about Johnson and say the speaker vote could go to several rounds, none has said they would vote against him.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/thomas-massie-needs-backup-to-take-out-mike-johnson-e5db12df?mod=hp_lead_pos2 5:15pm- “As Covid Lab Leak Suspicion Lingers, WHO Urges China to Share Virus Origin Data.” Mari Eccles of Politico writes: “The World Health Organization (WHO) has urged Beijing to share data on the origins of the coronavirus, five years after the bug that ravaged the world was first detected in the Chinese city of Wuhan. ‘We continue to call on China to share data and access so we can understand the origins of Covid-19. This is a moral and scientific imperative,' the WHO said in a statement Monday.” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.eu/article/covid-19-lab-leak-who-urge-china-share-virus-origina-data-pandemic/ 5:20pm- Comedian Whitney Cummings went viral after roasting CNN and Democrats LIVE on air during the television station's New Year's broadcast. 5:40pm- Rich recaps his Christmas.

We are in the middle of a very busy election year, and presidential politics will continue to be the center of our political discussions until November. However, 2025 will be the year of very big spending battles in Congress and it all starts with the appropriations process this year. Emily Brooks from The Hill highlights that the same group of frustrated lawmakers that ousted Kevin McCarthy from the Speakership have the same concerns around spending, and those concerns aren't going away soon.

Among the many Democratic Party insiders who publicly or privately urged President Joe Biden to reconsider running for reelection, one played an outsized role: Nancy Pelosi.Pelosi is 84 years old — older than Biden — and no longer in House leadership.But her part in the pressure campaign that led to a change in the Democratic ticket shows: she is still very much a leader, and her political pull remains strong.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Episode 3596: Vacate The Speakership

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Tyler Vasseur, letter carrier and shop steward in the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), Branch 9, to discuss his recent piece in Labor Notes entitled "Momentum for Open Bargaining Grows in the Letter Carriers." Then, Sam speaks with David Dayen, executive editor at the American Prospect, to discuss his recent piece outlining the new FTC rule regarding non-compete clauses, co-authored with Luke Goldstein. First, Sam runs through updates on escalating violence by police and Zionists against anti-war protesters, Netanyahu's imminent invasion of Rafah, the Federal Reserve, Biden drug policy, state abortion bans, New York's special election for Congress, Johnson and Johnson's talc settlement, and labor rights, before watching Mike Johnson and Marjorie Taylor Greene trade shots ahead of a potential motion to vacate the Speakership. Tyler Vasseur then joined, first outlining NALC's union structure and role as one of four postal unions, before exploring the progressive division between the unions – including the desynchronization of their contracts –  under the US' shift into neoliberalism at the end of the 20th Century. Expanding on this, Vasseur explores the concept of “open bargaining,” and what it would mean in terms of activating and mobilizing NALC's base of workers, as well as creating a much more transparent negotiating process. After walking through the major forces driving NALC members' attempt at reform, and touching on the major roles of the US pre-funding mandate for the USPS and the 2008 Financial crisis in crippling industry wages, Tyler wraps up with the inspiring factor of the ongoing union renaissance in the US, and how this project has already begun to reshape organizing efforts within NALC. David Dayen and Sam then look to the absurd evolution of the “non-compete” contract clause, first popularized as a tool to prevent the spread of company secrets among executives, and now used to constrain some 30 million workers in industries from dog grooming to fast food. After expanding on the expansive chunk of our economy crippled by non-compete clauses, David walks us through the ongoing legal battle to overturn the bipartisan ban, how the legacy of Antonin Scalia looms large over this topic, and why the Supreme Court's bogus “Major Questions” Doctrine is central to these arguments. After expanding on the likely evolution of this court battle, Dayen wraps up with a brief update on Live Nation's attempt to court DC insiders with some help from the free (but evidently not priceless) press. And in the Fun Half: Sam parses through yesterday's mass escalation of violence against anti-war student protesters on college campuses across the US, with the NYPD sending a SWAT team to infiltrate the Student occupation of Harold Hall, and police in LA allowing a pro-Israel violent mob assault UCLA protesters, also expanding on the absurd and constant attempts to completely misrepresent these campus protests and the student activists behind them.

Episode 3569: Spineless Men Fill Speakership And Judiciary Positions

This week, Axe and Murphy were joined by Scott Jennings, a GOP strategist, conservative columnist, and CNN commentator. The Hacks discuss Johnson's Speakership and the battle to pass aid packages, star GOP recruits, foreign wars, campus free speech, Biden's messaging, and Trump's trials.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Mark returns from Israel and explains the lunacy of President Biden's Iran policy. Biden's position in refusing to support Israel from taking offensive military action against Iran means that Biden will not support any military strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities and that Iran will have a functioning nuclear arsenal with which to threaten the United States, Israel, the Arab world, and the rest of the world without fear of military attack. Also, high crimes and misdemeanors have nothing to do with the criminal code, it refers to political crimes against the state. Democrats declaring that the Alejandro Mayorkas impeachment was unconstitutional was another nail in the coffin of the Constitution. The impeachment clause says the House impeaches and the Senate tries the case. There is no authority for the Senate not to hold a trial. Sen Chuck Schumer himself decided that Article 1 and Article 2 were unconstitutional based and no grounds, based on no debate. Schumer just destroyed the impeachment clause. The Senate made mockery of the entire process and it was cheered by media. Now the definition of a warmonger is providing our allies with weapons? No. The vast majority of Americans don't support Putin. They do not support China against Taiwan. They do not support Iran against Israel. Russia, China, and Iran are doing what they are doing because they want to destroy us and here in America, we dither over the Speakership. Later, who is behind these protests on college campuses and in the streets? They don't just happen. George Soros groups are bankrolling them. It's all funded by dark-money Democrat billionaires. These dark money billionaires are the same people funding the Democrat party. Judge Merchan and D.A. Alvin Bragg are extreme leftists doing the bidding of the Democrat Party, trampling on Donald Trump's due process rights and issuing gag orders while openly attacking him. The cases against Trump have been a conga line of corrupt judges and media mouthpieces doing anything and everything they can to sway the 2024 election for Joe Biden.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, now the definition of a warmonger is providing our allies with weapons? No. The vast majority of Americans don't support Putin. They do not support China against Taiwan. They do not support Iran against Israel. Russia, China, and Iran are doing what they are doing because they want to destroy us and here in America, we dither over the Speakership. Winston Churchill was ignored and called a warmonger by the establishment and fellow conservatives. Churchill explained that they didn't understand the mindset of the Germans. Just as today, Biden doesn't understand the mindset set of Hamas and Iranian terrorists. Biden never wanted Israel to have a missile defense system and now he wants them to stand down. Later, who is behind these protests on college campuses and in the streets? They don't just happen. George Soros groups are bankrolling them. It's all funded by dark-money Democrat billionaires. These dark money billionaires are the same people funding the Democrat party. What they hope to do is to create and support Islamists just as they created and supported Marxists. We are seeing the fusion of Marxists and Islamists. Finally, Speaker Mike Johnson calls in to dismiss some misinformation about a foreign aid package that includes money for Israel and Ukraine.

Veteran NPR editor Uri Berliner has blown the whistle on how the publicly-funded broadcaster has become an activist organization obsessed with pushing progressive ideals. Berliner argues that NPR has gone from a respected information source to one that can no longer be trusted to honestly cover the news.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why NPR sucks so terribly. Plus segments on comedian Bill Burr's takedown of the argument that WNBA players should be paid more and GOP Congress members Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Thomas Massie moving to vacate the Speakership of MIke Johnson. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Joe Biden and Al Pacino!

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:    Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is bucking the conservative wing of the GOP in his riskiest move yet, announcing plans to bring three foreign aid bills, including a package for Ukraine, to the floor for a vote as early as Saturday. We'll discuss a case of foreign sabotage in Germany, where two German-Russian nationals were recently arrested for plotting attacks aimed at undermining military support for Ukraine.

New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg is pushing for former President Donald Trump's hush money trial judge, Juan Merchan, to fine Trump $3,000 for allegedly violating a gag order by disparaging witnesses in the case. Meanwhile, Congressman Thomas Massie and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene are urging Congressman Mike Johnson to step down from the Speakership, with Massie even suggesting that Johnson pre-announce his resignation akin to former Speaker John Boehner. Despite these calls, Speaker Johnson has firmly stated his intention not to resign. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has criticized House Republicans for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over "policy disagreements," cautioning that such actions set a concerning precedent for Congress. BlazeTV contributor Eric July joins the discussion to provide insights into the current turmoil in Congress.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/16/2024): 3:05pm- While leaving a New York City court on Monday, former President Donald Trump told reporters it is a “scam trial” and the politicized charges amount to “election interference.” He also revealed that the judge will not allow him to skip part of the trial to attend his son's high school graduation ceremony. Trump has been indicted for attempting to conceal payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounted to falsified business records which influenced the 2016 election. 3:10pm- On Tuesday, Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) requested that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) resign—after Speaker Johnson announced he plans to hold a vote on Ukraine aid funding later this week. Massie joins Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as Republican members of Congress now vocally opposed to Johnson remaining in power. Working with a slim Republican majority in the House (218-213 with 4 vacancies), is Johnson now in serious jeopardy of being removed as Speaker? 3:15pm- According to Ryan Saavedra of The Daily Wire, Saudi Arabia publicly acknowledged that they assisted Israel, the United States, the U.K., Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates in “repelling a combination of more than 300 missiles and drones” launched from Iran and directed at Israel. You can read the full report here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/saudi-arabia-publicly-acknowledges-defending-israel-from-iranian-attacks-reports 3:30pm- While entering court on Tuesday, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said he should be on the campaign trail visiting swing states instead of defending himself in court against politicized charges. 3:40pm- James Lynch of National Review writes: “House Republicans delivered articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate, citing his refusal to combat record levels of illegal immigration. A group of GOP impeachment managers walked over to the Senate Tuesday afternoon to officially deliver the articles and initiate an impeachment trial as Democrats seek to expedite the process or dismiss the charges altogether. Senators will be sworn-in as jurors on Wednesday to begin trial proceedings.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/house-republicans-deliver-mayorkas-impeachment-articles-to-senate/ 3:50pm- While appearing on CNN, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman ridiculously accused Donald Trump of glaring at her in court after she reported that Trump may have fallen asleep during legal proceedings. 4:05pm- Bruce LeVell—Senior Advisor to President Donald Trump & Former Small Business Advisory Advocate for the White House—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the 2024 campaign, Trump's New York City trial over “hush money” payments, and President Joe Biden's recent trip to Scranton. 4:25pm- While appearing on CNN, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman ridiculously accused Donald Trump of glaring at her in court after she reported that Trump may have fallen asleep during legal proceedings. 4:30pm- Andrew C. McCarthy—Senior Fellow at National Review Institute & Author of “Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Donald Trump's ongoing “hush money” trial. Trump was indicted for attempting to conceal payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounted to falsified business records which influenced the 2016 election. McCarthy hilariously notes that Bragg's legal argument seems to imply that it's acceptable for a politician to pay-off adult film actresses with campaign funds provided the transactions are properly documented! You can learn more about his book here: https://www.encounterbooks.com/books/ball-of-collusion/.   4:50pm- On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in Fischer v. United States—a case which will determine whether obstruction laws can be used to charge January 6th defendants. While questioning U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, Justice Neil Gorsuch asked if “pulling a fire alarm before a [Congressional] vote” would qualify as obstruction, potentially resulting in up to 20-years of federal imprisonment. Notably, Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building just prior to the House holding its vote on a stopgap spending measure—allegedly to delay the vote. 5:05pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the recent op-ed she co-authored with Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) for Fox News, “Biden's Moral Equivalency Between Israel and the Palestinians Will Result in Failure—Again.” Coates and Roy write that President Joe “Biden still claims to ‘stand with Israel.' But he doesn't want to stand with Israel too much because he risks losing the votes of those who support the Palestinians—including, apparently, his own wife. So now he's encouraging Israel to stand down instead of standing up to the Iranians.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/bidens-moral-equivalency-between-israel-palestinians-will-result-failure-again. Dr. Coates is the author of “David's Sling: A History of Democracy in Ten Works of Art.” You can find her book here: https://www.amazon.com/Davids-Sling-History-Democracy-Works/dp/1594037213. 5:30pm- Matthew Lamb—Associate Editor of The College Fix—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about the website's recent article, “Philly Med School Will Pursue ‘Diverse Workforce' Through Scholarship, Special Program.” You can read the full piece here: https://www.thecollegefix.com/philly-med-school-will-pursue-diverse-workforce-through-scholarships-special-programs/ 5:50pm- Rich is filling in for Mark Levin tonight!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Charlie Savage and Luke Broadwater report that on Friday, the House of Representatives “passed a two-year reauthorization of an expiring warrantless surveillance law that had stalled this week amid G.O.P. resistance—but only after narrowly rejecting a bipartisan effort to restrict searches of Americans' messages swept up by the program. The bill would extend a provision of law known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, that is set to lapse next Friday…Grasping to salvage the measure before the law expires, Speaker Mike Johnson put forward a shorter extension than its originally envisioned five years, persuading hard-right Republicans who had blocked the bill to allow it to move forward. The final vote was 273 to 147, with both parties split. One hundred and twenty-six Republicans joined 147 Democrats in favor, while 88 Republicans and 59 Democrats were opposed. The legislation still must be cleared by the Senate and signed by President Biden. But the main obstacle has been in the House.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/12/us/politics/surveillance-bill-fisa.html 3:15pm- Now that reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has passed in the House of Representatives, could Mike Johnson's Speakership be in jeopardy? 3:30pm- Earlier this month while appearing on MSNBC, Biden-Harris Campaign Finance Chair Rufus Gifford insisted “every dime” of money donated to the Democratic National Committee will go towards campaigning—emphasizing that the funds were not being used for President Joe Biden's legal fees. However, there are now reports that the DNC contributed $1.5 million for lawyers and fees related to a federal investigation into Biden's mishandling of classified documents.

There were no restrictions on his movements inside the U.S. Late Thursday, Kharwin was taken into custody again by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, a Homeland Security spokesperson said.” You can read the full report here: https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/man-terror-watchlist-remains-us-released-border-patrol-rcna147192 4:40pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the House voting in favor of reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and how, according to reports, she was on a list of Americans—which included Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Jared Kushner, and Ben Carson—who were warrantlessly surveilled by the Obama Administration prior to the 2016 presidential election. According to CBS News, Iran is expected to attack Israel within the next 24 to 48 hours, potentially using a combination of hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles. Dr. Coates is the author of “David's Sling: A History of Democracy in Ten Works of Art.” You can find her book here: https://www.amazon.com/Davids-Sling-History-Democracy-Works/dp/1594037213. 5:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his new book, “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me.” Dr. Reilly also weighs-in on a University of Maryland Professor who bizarrely claims that white rural voters are “racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay” and pose a “threat” to the country. Plus, is President Joe Biden attempting to win young voters with massive student loan forgiveness pledges? Dr. Reilly's new book releases on June 11th but you can pre-order it now: https://a.co/d/jd6PjBb. 5:40pm- On Friday, Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) held a joint press conference from Mar-a-Lago in Florida—announcing a proposal for a new election integrity bill which would prevent non-U.S. citizens from voting in elections. While taking questions from the press, Trump reemphasized his support for Johnson as House Speaker. 6:05- During MSNBC's Morning Joe, eight undecided voters were asked if they would personally be better off under a Donald Trump or Joe Biden economy—all eight members of the group raised their hands in favor of Trump, with one even calling Biden “disastrous for the economy.” 6:15pm- While appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, New York Times columnist and political analyst Anand Giridharadas suggested that Democrats cannot be afraid to defend “chaos and ungovernability” at the border. 6:40pm- On Thursday, former CBS News correspondent Catherine Herridge testified before the House Committee Hearing on the Press Act. During her opening statement, Herridge said: “CBS seized hundreds of my reporting files including confidential source information” which she believes “crossed a red line.” She continued, “if confidential sources are not protected, I fear investigative journalism is dead."

Congressman Tim Burchett says some of his colleagues in Congress are compromised and some are blackmailed to vote the way they're told. The House takes up important legislation this week on the government's warrantless wiretapping and FISA reauthorization. Also, Speaker Johnson seems to be all in for aid to Ukraine, even if it costs him his Speakership and the GOP its majority.
