Trump Has Not Turned Americans Against Immigrants: A Conversation with Greg Sargent

In this episode of Zooming In, The UnPopulist's editor-in-chief, Shikha Dalmia, talks with Greg Sargent of The New Republic about whether America has truly turned against immigration—or whether Trump's 2024 victory has been badly misread. Sargent argues that the election reflected a thermostatic, economy-driven backlash rather than a durable cultural shift, and that the past year and a half of mass deportations, ethnic purges, and high-profile cases like Kilmar Abrego Garcia's has snapped majorities back toward a consensus favoring legal pathways, humane treatment, and border security—but not Stephen Miller's vision of ethnic homogeneity. Along the way, Dalmia and Sargent dig into the thwarted history of comprehensive immigration reform, why a radical minority in the GOP has repeatedly blocked it, and the split among Democrats between the "salience bros" who counsel silence on immigration and those who see an opening to win the argument on favorable terms. They examine how figures like Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Texas Senate candidate James Talarico make the connection between immigration and authoritarianism in different registers, take apart David Frum's "if liberals won't enforce borders, fascists will" thesis, and close on why both believe the country's pro-immigrant, "shining city on a hill" ethos runs deeper than the populist rage of the last decade.© The UnPopulist, 2026Follow us on Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and X.

The 14 Point Iran MOU Point by Point: How the United States Gave Away Everything and Gained Nothing

The MOU commits the United States to ensuring a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, lifting all sanctions regardless of type, releasing all frozen Iranian assets, and allowing immediate oil sales upon signing. Iran's nuclear program and enriched uranium stockpile are left entirely unaddressed. Israel was excluded from the negotiations and is not a party to the agreement. The signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday. Critics cited in this video span the political spectrum, from Hudson Institute fellow Josh Block to Fox News contributor Andy McCarthy, who compared the deal to Neville Chamberlain's capitulation before World War II, to National Review editor Philip Klein, who called it money for nothing. Even Ben Domenech, husband of Meghan McCain, acknowledged the deal failed to achieve any of the stated objectives before spinning it as a win. The second story covers federal prosecutors in Minneapolis announcing a 94-page indictment against 15 individuals allegedly affiliated with Antifa. Hawk notes that Antifa is not a formal organization, that 75 percent of the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office staff quit earlier this year, and that the marquee piece of evidence presented at the press conference was a Facebook post reading "we need to become ungovernable." Half of similar cases brought by this DOJ have already been dismissed.

Today's Headlines: Iran shot down a US Army helicopter yesterday, the US responded with strikes on Iranian air defense systems, both crew members are stable, and stock futures dropped immediately — so the ceasefire is going great. Meanwhile, the World Cup starts tomorrow and the Trump administration is already making it a disaster: the best male referee in Africa was denied entry despite a valid visa, the Iraqi team's vice captain was detained for seven hours at O'Hare, the team photographer was turned away entirely, and Trump is preemptively blaming Europe for any Ebola outbreaks despite zero confirmed cases there. Meanwhile, the House voted to give ICE and Border Patrol $70 billion more for immigration enforcement — $38 billion to ICE, $26 billion to Border Patrol, and a breezy $5 billion for "unforeseen costs." Anthropic's cofounder published a blog post asking leading AI labs to consider pausing frontier AI development, comparing it to nuclear nonproliferation — the response was a collective "no," with some calling it self-serving given everyone's upcoming IPOs — and this comes as Anthropic is reportedly preparing to release Claude Fable 5, a model it deemed too dangerous for public release just six months ago. Epstein assistant Lesley Groff testified before the House Oversight Committee claiming she "never saw anything improper" after two decades of keeping Epstein's entire schedule, which the committee found highly inconsistent. Tom Steyer conceded the California governor's race, Trump kept pushing election fraud conspiracies about California to the point that a congressman reported a friend canceling their voter registration over Spencer Pratt, and Ken Paxton's own former impeachment attorney endorsed Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race, saying Paxton is too focused on appeasing Trump to be a good senator. And finally, NASA announced the Artemis III crew of four astronauts who will orbit Earth practicing lunar lander docking in preparation for a 2028 moon landing — assuming Blue Origin delivers its lander on time, which is uncertain after one of its rockets exploded during a test.

As Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified before a House committee on Wednesday, Representative Ted Lieu questioned him at length about Donald Trump's mental decline. It was an extraordinary moment. Lieu repeatedly confronted Rubio with damning video of Trump falling asleep and spewing word salad, cornering Rubio into lying about what we can all see with our own eyes. The moment captured something essential about how our politics works today—and shows why Democrats should relentlessly center Trump's unfitness for the presidency whenever possible. We talked to Brian Beutler, author of the excellent Off Message Substack. We discuss the deeper reasons that Democrats need to pick viral fights like this, ponder how Trump understands politics through a strong-versus-weak frame, and parse through how James Talarico should combat right-wing smears in the Texas Senate race.

The Graham Platner Situation Gets WORSE! Texas Senate Races and DC Bar Drama (with Reese Gorman)

A new Graham Platner story dropped today, and it answers one question while opening about a dozen others. The reporting centers on an ex-girlfriend from his time in Washington who describes behavior that she says included being yanked out of cabs, shaken by the shoulders, blocked from leaving rooms, and subjected to bizarre conversations about violence and power. The Platner campaign does not appear to dispute many of the specifics. Instead, it continues to insist that none of this amounts to sexual assault. Their strategy is obvious: keep this campaign alive until July 10, the last day under Maine law that Democrats could replace him on the ballot.The problem is that the list of people the campaign says are actually the problem keeps getting longer. First it was the former campaign manager. Now it's an ex-girlfriend. The campaign has gone out of its way to point out that the woman worked in Republican politics years ago. Maybe that's relevant, maybe it isn't. What matters politically is that this is now the second woman in a week whose allegations are being dismissed while the campaign asks everyone to focus on Graham Platner instead. Meanwhile, the campaign's own internal polling reportedly has him four points ahead of Susan Collins. That's not exactly reassuring when a public poll from late May had him up nine. If you're releasing a poll to save a candidacy and it shows you've lost five points, that's not great.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The bigger issue remains the stuff we still don't know. The dating stories are damaging, but the Kik story is the Pandora's box. That's the ugly stuff. What's behind that door? The potential answer is why this scandal continues to dominate the conversation. Platner's goal now is simple: survive the primary, survive the next month, and make it to July 10. If he's still standing then, Democrats may have no choice but to circle the wagons.Elsewhere, there was a polling shocker in Ohio. A Fox News poll found Sherrod Brown leading Senator John Husted by eight points, 53 to 45. If we start seeing more polls like that, Democrats may have found one of their best pickup opportunities. Brown is a known quantity in Ohio. If the environment continues to improve for Democrats, it may not matter how exciting or energetic his campaign is. He could simply coast on familiarity and favorable conditions.California, meanwhile, continues to count ballots at a pace that seems designed to test the limits of human patience. The governor's race is still unresolved, and Los Angeles mayoral results remain in flux. What frustrates me is that this is a choice. California mails ballots to everyone and allows ballots to arrive days after the election. Fine. But there's no reason the ballots already in hand couldn't be processed faster. Instead, the state releases vote drops so slowly that candidates can spend weeks appearing to lead or trail before the public gets anything close to a final picture. I genuinely think that's bad for democracy because people are not wired to watch somebody lead by eight points and then potentially lose weeks later.That brings us to Spencer Pratt and Nithya Raman. Prediction markets currently have Raman favored to make the general election despite Pratt holding second place. I don't understand the math. Raman gained ground in the latest vote drop, but not nearly at the pace she would need to overtake him. Maybe future batches change that. Maybe they don't. But when prediction markets start pricing in outcomes that don't seem to match the publicly available numbers, people begin assuming something else is going on. That's another reason the endless California count is so damaging. Even if everything is perfectly legitimate, the process encourages suspicion in ways that simply don't seem necessary.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:20 - Graham Platner00:09:22 - Ohio and California00:14:58 - Interview with Reese Gorman00:30:18 - John Bolton00:32:01 - Todd Blanche00:34:26 - College Sports Bill00:41:28 - Interview with Reese Gorman, con't01:01:43 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Dean reacts to the Democratic Nazi candidate for Senate in Maine, Graham Platner, smearing Senator Collins (who voted to convict President Trump in his second impeachment trial) “set me to die” in Iraq, contrasting it with General George S. Patton's authentic, uncompromising World War II ethos. He explores how the cinematic portrayal of Patton by George C. Scott has shaped our collective memory of war, and how Hollywood narratives have warped our understanding of historical conflicts like Vietnam. Turning a critical eye toward the media landscape, Dean dissects the tragic passing of hockey legend Claude Lemieux, using it to launch a stark, data-driven critique of Canada's controversial MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) program. Drawing from his own professional background in veterinary medicine, he explains the profound psychological toll that ending life takes on the human brain and warns against a culture that treats human existence as a mere "clump of cells." Finally, Dean analyzes the upcoming Texas Senate race involving James Talarico, the pitfalls of Republicans relying on cheap mockery instead of serious policy persuasion, and the return of The Washington Star. He wraps up the hour with a refreshing media contrast: Michael Keaton's viral, purely entertaining commencement speech at Kent State, proving that public figures can still choose to uplift an audience rather than make everything about themselves in service of left-wing politics.

Ron Simmons guest hosts "Relatable" and breaks down the explosive DNC 2024 election autopsy that the party tried to bury. The report admits Democrats have lost ground at every level since Obama, failed to build a positive case for Kamala Harris, leaned too heavily on identity politics, and got crushed by Trump's “they/them” messaging — while ignoring rural voters and everyday economic concerns. Next, Ken Paxton crushes John Cornyn in the Texas Senate runoff as Trump-backed challengers continue reshaping the GOP, while Democrats grapple with their own messy primary fights and controversial nominees. Plus, the tragic story of a pro-Trump veteran killed after years of harassment, Giants QB Jaxson Dart introducing President Trump, and the glaring double standard from the Left when athletes go conservative. Lastly, Ron gives an update on the war with Iran and answers some viewer questions on a variety of topics, including the economy, when to buy a home, and AI.

Chris Cuomo explains why the Texas Senate race between Ken Paxton and James Talarico may be the clearest test yet of whether MAGA politics are finally colliding with economic reality. Cuomo argues that Republicans are increasingly leaning on culture-war outrage while voters become more focused on affordability, wages, healthcare costs, and economic frustration. He also breaks down why he believes Democrats may have finally found the right kind of anti-MAGA candidate in Talarico — and why Trump's decision to back Paxton could become a major political liability. Cuomo analyzes the messaging strategies behind both campaigns, Paxton's ethical baggage, Trump's influence over the Republican Party, and why he believes this race could become a national bellwether for the 2026 midterms. The episode also explores populism, culture wars, economic inequality, tariffs, Christian politics, the future of Democratic messaging, and why Cuomo believes voters are increasingly exhausted by outrage-driven politics. He argues that the core fight in American politics is no longer left versus right, but “MAGA versus reality” — and says this race may reveal whether Trump-style politics still works outside the Republican base. #news #politics #trump #maga #texas #cuomo Join The Chris Cuomo Project on YouTube for ad-free episodes, early releases, exclusive access to Chris, and more: https://www.youtube.com/@chriscuomo/join Follow and subscribe to The Chris Cuomo Project on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday: https://linktr.ee/cuomoproject Ready to reach your goals?

1. Election Results & Significance Ken Paxton wins decisively with roughly 64% vs 36% (a ~28-point margin). This is described as: A major upset for an incumbent A “sea change” in Republican politics Cornyn had: 24 years in the Senate Significant institutional power and funding Despite heavy financial backing (over $100M+ spent, mostly for Cornyn), Paxton wins overwhelmingly. 2. Why Paxton Won Several factors are highlighted: ✅ Anti-establishment sentiment The race was a: “Conservative grassroots vs establishment Republican” Voters favored a more ideological, outsider-style candidate. ✅ Trump’s influence Donald Trump endorsed Paxton (late in the race). The hosts argue: The endorsement boosted Paxton’s margin But Paxton was already leading in polls ✅ Perception of ideological purity Paxton is: “The most conservative attorney general in the country” This appealed to Republican primary voters. 3. The Role of Money The race becomes: One of the most expensive Senate primaries ever Despite: Massive spending (mostly pro-Cornyn) Outcome shows:

So much for Trump's iron grip on the party. Just days after Thomas Massie's defeat, Republicans in the Senate and House begin to buck Trump on his top priorities: ballroom funding, the taxpayer-funded slush fund for his allies, and the war in Iran. Could it be that his surprise endorsement of Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in the Texas Senate primary didn't help matters? Faced with mounting leaks, the DNC finally releases its 2024 autopsy — an incoherent, error-riddled mess that Chairman Ken Martin admits was a failure from the start.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Trump Endorses Paxton Clay Travis and Buck Sexton highlight the key Republican primary battles, most notably the Texas Senate race between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. During the hour, breaking news emerges that President Trump officially endorses Ken Paxton, immediately shifting momentum in the race and, according to the hosts, likely determining the outcome. They frame this endorsement as a major political development with implications for Senate control, emphasizing that Texas remains a crucial state in the GOP’s path to maintaining or expanding its majority. The hosts also provide a broader strategic analysis of the Senate map, arguing that Democrats face a difficult path to regain control given the number of competitive states leaning Republican. In addition to election coverage, Hour 1 includes discussion of foreign policy and national security, particularly the ongoing situation with Iran. The hosts note reports that President Trump may have paused or delayed potential military action due to apparent progress in negotiations, though they express skepticism based on past diplomatic efforts. They frame the Iran issue as a long-term geopolitical challenge that will extend beyond any single administration, with potential impacts on energy prices, global stability, and domestic political outcomes. The discussion connects foreign policy decisions directly to voter concerns, especially around gas prices and economic conditions, which are expected to play a major role in the midterms. Don't Believe the Hakeem Hype Clay and Buck discuss the evolving landscape of Republican leadership and Senate dynamics, particularly as several incumbent Republicans face political challenges or potential exits. The hosts analyze how figures like John Cornyn and Bill Cassidy are under pressure, suggesting that the party is undergoing a shift toward candidates more closely aligned with Trump’s agenda. They also raise concerns about the immediate legislative impact, noting that lame-duck senators and narrow margins in the Senate could complicate efforts to pass legislation, especially if party unity weakens. The broader takeaway is that control of the Senate remains highly sensitive to internal party shifts and primary outcomes, making these races especially consequential. Near-Death Experiences Change People The hosts spend significant time discussing what they view as a forward-looking, generational strategy, including infrastructure projects like the modernization of the White House and broader geopolitical initiatives. They argue that many of Trump’s actions—from potential Middle East policy outcomes to physical changes at the White House—are designed to have lasting effects well beyond his presidency. This conversation introduces broader political analysis around legacy-building, long-term governance strategy, and presidential leadership philosophy, contrasting short-term political pressures with long-term national planning. The discussion also touches on how foreign policy decisions intersect with public opinion and political messaging, with Trump asserting that while policies toward Iran may not always appear popular, they are necessary for national and global security. The hosts suggest that many voters are willing to give Trump latitude on these decisions while negotiations play out, reflecting broader themes of political trust, leadership authority, and voter patience during international crises. This is for the History Nerds The guys interview uthor Douglas Brunt, centered on his new book The Lost Empire of Emmanuel Nobel. This segment shifts into historical analysis and energy industry history, exploring the early development of the global oil industry and the role of the Nobel family in building a major petroleum empire in Russia. The conversation covers industrialization, the rise of energy markets, the Russian Empire, the Bolshevik Revolution, and the origins of modern geopolitics tied to oil and natural resources. The discussion connects historical events to present-day issues such as global energy competition, Russian influence, and geopolitical conflict, illustrating how historical developments continue to shape modern international relations. The interview also delves into broader historical themes, including the fall of the Russian monarchy, the rise of Soviet power, and the cyclical nature of reform and repression in Russian governance. The hosts and guest examine how these historical patterns relate to current geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing war in Ukraine and Russia’s strategic ambitions, integrating concepts such as energy geopolitics, Russian history, oil industry origins, and global power dynamics.
