My newsletter: https://thelongstory.substack.com/ The Dispatch was launched in 2020 with a pretty straightforward thesis: that people would pay for quality, fact-based journalism. It certainly had a partisan lean – it was co-founded by conservative journalists Jonah Goldberg and Steve Hayes after all – but it steered clear of the wholesale rejection of reality that's rampant in most pro-Trump media. Flash forward to 2025, and that thesis has been vindicated. It recently crossed 45,000 paid subscribers without the help of huge VC investors. Now, it plans to diversify its revenue streams, and to accomplish that it brought on Mike Rothman, a longtime media veteran who helped build companies like Thrillist and Fatherly. In a recent interview, Mike walked through his decision to join The Dispatch, what kind of advertising he wants to sell, and why brands are suddenly interested again in sponsoring politics media.

We are back, and I have a Co-Host for the surfing episodes in the form of Steve Hayes. Steve has surfed all over the world from Indonesia to Hawaii.

Mediaite editor Aidan McLaughlin speaks with Ali Abbasi, the critically acclaimed director of the new film The Apprentice, which depicts the origin story of Donald Trump. Ali discusses Trump's relationship with ruthless prosecutor and political fixer Roy Cohn, why he decided to get involved with the project in the first place– as a lot of Hollywood was fearful to get involved in a Trump biopic– and why he thought of the film as a humanist project. Aidan also speaks with Steve Hayes, the founder, CEO, and editor of The Dispatch, about how to launch a successful media outlet in the current climate. This episode was produced by Brandon Reschke and Kathryn Wilkens.
The presidential candidates have come out in favor of exempting certain kinds of income from taxation. Both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris favor not taxing tips. Trump also favors shielding both Social Security benefits and overtime pay from the income tax.This week, AFFT president Steve Hayes joins the FAIRtax Guys to discuss what these positions mean for the FAIRtax. If not taxing some kinds of income is a popular idea with those who receive that income, imagine how popular the idea of not taxing any income would be.
Jack welcomes a fellow radio host and former WVLK Program Director Steve Hayes to the show to talk about his new book "Don't Touch That Radio Dial: (You Don't Know Where It's Been)", a memoir of his crazy career in the radio business. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Twenty-one years after Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan revolutionized the chick-flick with Freaky Friday, the powers that be have finally greenlit a remake. Fans were surprised to discover that the studio has taken a different approach to the reboot; this iteration of the film will feature two of the foremost voices in American political punditry, and will concern the intellectual history of one Jonah Goldberg. Jonathan Rauch of the Brookings Institution has taken over Jonah's role as host extraordinaire to flip the script and provide you, dear listener, with an understanding of Jonah's intellectual journey throughout his career, ultimately hoping to understand how Jonah prevented himself from turning into a grifting, red-hatted pod person. Jon forces Jonah to revisit his first book, leading to an epic dive into the history of the American conservative movement, along with some hypothesizing behind its disappointing pivot to populism. Further lines of questioning from Mr. Rauch cast a wide net: Did Jonah pioneer horseshoe theory? Can we blame all of this on Sarah Palin? How did Jonah process the rise of Trump and prepare his defensive strategy? Was Jonah ever tempted to join the ranks of the sellouts? The host with the most who is no longer the host reveals all, including The Dispatch's origin story, the final word on Hillary Clinton, and the hope that rests in the moral minority. Show Notes: —Liberal Fascism —Jonah and Jon on the weakness of parties —Steve Hayes, Donald Trump, and John McCain —National Review: Against Trump —Jonah on the body snatchers The Remnant is a production of The Dispatch, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a non-partisan, conservative perspective.

Donald Trump clashes with Kamala Harris in their only scheduled presidential debate. Among the important issues debated: abortion, inflation, and immigrants eating pets. Reasonable people can differ on two of those three issues. Mike is joined by Steve Hayes, editor of The Dispatch to discuss. They disagree on abortion policy, though not on Trump's arguments explaining and advancing his policy. They also disagree on the fairness of the moderators. But their disagreement is a veritable symphony of productivity, as opposed to much of what we heard last night. https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/GIST Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara Email us at thegist@mikepesca.com To advertise on the show, visit: https://advertisecast.com/TheGist Subscribe to The Gist Subscribe: https://subscribe.mikepesca.com/ Follow Mikes Substack at: Pesca Profundities | Mike Pesca | Substack Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we've got one of the nation's premier political analysts on the show. Steve Hayes, co-founder of The Dispatch, joined us to discuss the state of the 2024 gun debate. He gave his take on the path Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have taken in their respective campaigns. Then he turned to how the recent mass shooting at a Georgia High School might shake up those positions. Hayes noted guns have not been a top priority for voters thus far in the election. He said that was likely because there haven't been a lot of high-profile shootings this year. He argued that could change because of the new attention the Georgia shooting will bring to the issue, but he wasn't sure if it would reach the level of intense media coverage that's necessary to push either candidate one way or the other. Special Guest: Steve Hayes.

This summer, Tom Landry Stadium had new state-of-the-art turf installed that is arguably the best playing surface at any school, anywhere. In this episode, Steve Hayes, TCA's football head coach and newly appointed athletic director, talks about the new playing field and other recent improvements to the athletics facilities. He is joined by TCA alum and former football player Jason Delph '07, the co-founder (along with fellow '07 classmate Nick Pavey) of ForeverLawn Texas, as well as ForeverLawn's Director of Marketing Derek Taylor and Installation Support Team Leader Aaron Gressel. Together, they explain what makes the new field best-in-class. The new combination of padding and turf provides better safety and traction than other fields, reducing the potential for injuries and fatigue and helping our athletes perform better. It is approved by both the NFL and FIFA, and TCA is the first school in Texas to have this new turf.
Are you concerned about the future of our tax system under a potential Biden or Trump presidency? In today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, host Brian Nichols sits down with Steve Hayes, Chairman of Americans for Fair Taxation, to discuss the stark differences between the two candidates' approaches to taxation and the economy. What would America look like in 2028 under a Biden or Trump administration? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart Steve Hayes paints a vivid picture of two parallel universes: one where Trump's pro-business, less regulatory approach leads to increased economic opportunity, more competitive American products, and higher wages; and another where Biden's government-centric, high-tax policies result in a ballooning national debt, reduced personal freedoms, and a country ruled by bureaucrats who have never held a private sector job. The contrast is striking, and the implications for our future are immense. The conversation also delves into the intricacies of the FairTax plan, which would replace the current income tax system with a national consumption tax. Hayes and Nichols discuss the challenges of incremental change in Washington, the importance of educating the public about the benefits of tax reform, and the potential for states like Georgia, Nebraska, Alabama, and North Carolina to lead the way by implementing their own versions of the FairTax. Throughout the episode, Nichols and Hayes emphasize the need for common sense solutions and the power of informed, engaged citizens to effect change. They urge listeners to get involved, stay active, and have meaningful conversations with friends and family about the issues that matter most. Don't miss this thought-provoking discussion on the future of taxation and the economy under a Biden or Trump presidency.

In this episode, we tackle a common and heart-wrenching question from trauma survivors: "How can I erase painful memories?" We dive into the science and philosophy behind memory alteration, exploring the natural instinct to avoid distressing memories and the consequences of such avoidance. We discuss therapeutic approaches like memory reconsolidation, which aims to change the emotional impact of traumatic memories, and the limitations of methods like extinction. With references to experts like Joseph LeDoux and Steve Hayes, we offer insights into the complexities of healing from trauma.Upcoming events:Join David Kessler for his free online series on Father's Day GriefJoin the Polyvagal Institue for their free webinar, Rising in Resilience with Jessica ConwayLearn more about Linda Thai Learn more about Therapist.comJoin the Institute:Trauma Institute: @traumainstitute | traumainstitute.comFrank Anderson: @frank_andersonmd | frankandersonmd.comMatthias Barker: @matthiasjbarker | matthiasjbarker.com
