Tuesday was a big day in foreign policy news. Israel launched a barrage of airstrikes on Gaza Monday night, its first attack since a ceasefire with Hamas took hold in January. Officials in Gaza say more than 400 people were killed. And President Donald Trump held a 90-minute phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine. Putin ostensibly agreed to a 30-day limited ceasefire on energy and infrastructure targets — far short of the unconditional ceasefire proposal Ukraine and the U.S. negotiated earlier this month. Oh, and Trump threatened ‘dire consequences' for Iran over attacks from Houthi rebels in Yemen. Crooked's own Tommy Vietor, co-host of ‘Pod Save the World,' breaks down all the big international headlines and what they say about Trump's approach to foreign policy.And in headlines: Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked Trump over his calls to impeach federal judges, the Pentagon continued its purge of website pages honoring minority groups, and two stranded U.S. astronauts returned to Earth.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8Support victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Republican senators don't care that Trump's nominees are lying—like Kash pretending he didn't know a Nazi-adjacent podcaster whose show he's been on eight times—because the confirmation process to them is all a game and truth is irrelevant. And nominees are also mad-flipping on their signatures issues: RFK, Jr. on vaccines, Tulsi on Edward Snowden, and Kash on the Jan 6 cop beaters. Meanwhile, RFK knows embarrassingly little about the programs he'd be administering, Democrats should try combat on for size, and the Fox hosts/reality show stars turned in quite a performance after the first plane crash in 16 years.  Tommy Vietor joins Tim Miller.

President-elect Donald Trump stopped by 'Meet the Press' on Sunday for his first network sit-down interview since winning back the White House. During his hour-plus conversation, he reaffirmed his promise to pardon most of the people who violently stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, possibly on his first day back in office. And he said every person who sat on the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack "should go to jail." Those kinds of comments are exactly why the Biden Administration is reportedly weighing preemptive pardons for people who might become targets of Trump's Justice Department. Kim Wehle, a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law and author of the book 'Pardon Power,' explains the significance of the presidential pardon.Plus, we talked with Pod Save The World's Tommy Vietor about how a Syrian rebel militia group gained control of the country.And in headlines: Trump says he can't guarantee Americans won't end up paying more for goods under his tariff plans, The U.S. Department of Agriculture orders testing of the nation's milk supply for bird flu, and Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral held its first mass on Sunday since a 2019 fire partially destroyed it.Show Notes:Check out Kim's book – https://tinyurl.com/stpcn4rjPod Save The World – https://tinyurl.com/45zdh9wxSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Tommy Vietor, co-founder of Crooked Media, to round up the week in news. First, Sam runs through updates on US presidential polling, US Senate races, Israel's indiscriminate offensives in Lebanon and Gaza, Elon's secret contact with Putin and (definitely unrelated) campaign shenanigans, the CFPB, and the US' Indigenous boarding schools, also watching Fox attempt to explain why Trump was praising Hitler as a businessman, not a Presidential candidate. Tommy Vietor then joins, jumping right into a conversation on the state of the US presidential race, unpacking the GOP's big jump in early voting (alongside other, very real Get out the Vote struggles), the Harris Campaign's targeting of young Black men and alienated conservative white women, and why Harris isn't highlighting her “change” policies around social welfare despite her desperate need to differentiate herself from Biden. Vietor, Sam, and Emma also tackle the major swing right among Arab-American voters amid the Biden Administration's exuberant support for the genocide in Gaza, before touching on the benefits and costs of the late start to the Harris campaign, and wrapping up with the major threat Trump poses to Biden's major progressive wins on the domestic front. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks Trump's double down on the bigoted anti-immigrant lies about Haitian migrants in Springfield, basks in Ben Shapiro getting schooled on immigration, and watches the Good Liars keep up the lord's work of mocking fascists. Dan from New York unpacks Zionist indoctrination, Marissa from California has some unfortunate reflections on Harris' text campaign, and the Soy Pill from YouTube shares some stories about the floundering Trump campaign.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance met Tuesday for the first and only vice presidential debate ahead of the November election. It's also likely to be the final debate for both campaigns, making it one of the last big moments before voters decide who will take over the White House. The two men kept things pretty civil over their 90 minutes on stage, and neither committed the kind of egregious error that could hurt their respective tickets. WAD host Jane Coaston recaps the highlights with longtime Washington reporter Todd Zwillich.

The candidates went back and forth on the biggest issues in the election, including reproductive rights, the economy, immigration, and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

Three men who were central in guiding the presidency of Barack Obama, Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor - famously known as the 'Obama Bros,' have recently unbosomed their critiques of current President Joe Biden. In their well-known 'Pod Save America' podcast, the trio used the platform to openly question President Biden's recent public appearances, against the backdrop of whispers of unease among their political circles. Their lambasting revolved around Biden's lacklusterness in the first debate and his subsequent interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos. Vietor, expressing his sincere shock, admitted, 'I found it quite appalling and at times overly difficult to endure.' This observation was anchored to Biden's unsettling interview in the preceding week. 'Although it would be unjust to expect Biden to fix the debate's political fallout during the interview, his performance left many of us even more concerned,' Vietor elucidated. 'Biden struggled to convey his thoughts in a clear, articulate manner' - a key concern raised by the 'Obama bros.' Vietor threw light on the concern over Biden's apparent inability to put forth a captivating agenda for his second term. According to him, such a compelling plan is a linchpin for drawing swing voters away from the allure of former President Trump's leadership. Vietor also indicated that Biden's justifications for his substandard performance in the debate were far from satisfactory. Lovett concurred with Vietor, stating that the environment of the interview presented a significant challenge for Biden. Pointing out the glaring reality, he declared, 'The debate was not his best night, it was evident to all.' Lovett lamented the ambiguity of the explanations provided as it did little to alleviate the concerns aroused by Biden's performance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But if there is any year to resist the temptation of tuning out, say Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor, it's 2024. The two co-hosts of their popular “no bullshit” podcast Pod Save America join Inside the Hive to discuss the enduring appeal of Donald Trump, the palliative power of seeing comedy in political tragedy, and why voters should view themselves as change agents come November. “Your vote is not about rewarding or punishing Joe Biden or Donald Trump or any candidate,” says Favreau. “Your vote is about yourself and your future and what kind of country you want…The only way forward is to be involved and to try to make things better.”
