Texas Democrats, in an attempt to block Trump's redistricting effort, shut down a special legislative session by fleeing the state. Texas State Rep. James Talarico joins the show to explain what happens now and why he and his Democratic colleagues believe that getting out of town is the best way to serve their constituents in this moment. Then, Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss Trump's decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy minimum-security prison, new reporting about who's sending all those annoying fundraising texts, and, of course, Trump's comments on the most important story of the moment: Sydney Sweeney's jeans.
Israel's government is considering expanding the war in Gaza despite a growing chorus of voices in Israel calling for an immediate end to the war, Texas Republicans are threatening to arrest Democratic lawmakers unless they return to the statehouse for a redistricting vote, and the Trump administration has plans to end two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.Want more comprehensive analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

On today's episode, Andy & DJ discuss President Donald Trump firing the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Fever's Sophie Cunningham blasting fans after another dildo is thrown on the court, and Mark Zuckerberg saying superintelligence is imminent.
Rachel Maddow points out that the thing most Americans were dreading has come to pass, and the United States has changed profoundly in only six months of authoritarian rule. "We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country." With freedoms likely to continue to be curtailed in deference to Donald Trump's power, that means Americans have the most tools for democratic resistance right now.
On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the Justice Department is launching a federal grand jury investigation into former Obama administration officials accused of their role in 2016's Russia-gate. This legal move could lead to criminal charges against key Cabinet members from the Obama era, including James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey. President Barack Obama needs to be questioned for his role. Barack Obama is the central figure in uncovering the full scope of the Russia Collusion scandal and the attempt to undermine the Trump campaign and presidency. The Supreme Court does not grant him blanket immunity. It offers a presumption of immunity, which could be challenged based on what the investigation reveals. Regardless, there is no immunity from criminal investigation or from being compelled to testify under oath—period. Furthermore, In On Power, negative power is coercive and aims to suppress individual identity, liberty, and sovereignty, often exercised by authoritarian regimes that treat people as servants to their cause. Its goal is to dominate society through centralized, unchecked control, stripping individuals of free will, self-worth, and the human spirit. To maintain this grip, such regimes restrict speech, manipulate language, punish independent thought, and promote conformity and fanaticism over curiosity and independence. Lastly, Israel is being attacked and accused of a deep Zionistic rhetoric that Israel has special interests regarding the spread of Zionism. Isreal is defending itself and protecting the freedoms of Jews, Christians and non-radical Muslims who oppose the Radical-Islamic regimes. Learn more about your ad choices.

In a dramatic act of protest on Sunday, Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives began to flee the state. It is a last-ditch attempt to stop President Trump and Texas Republicans from adopting an aggressively redrawn congressional map that would eliminate Democratic seats — and could help lock in a Republican majority in next year's elections.Shane Goldmacher, a Times political correspondent, explains this new chapter in the era of unvarnished partisan warfare.Guest: Shane Goldmacher, a political correspondent for The New York Times.Background reading: The redrawn map, unveiled by Texas Republicans and pushed by Mr. Trump, puts areas of Houston, Dallas and San Antonio that have incumbent Democrats into districts that would now favor Republicans. “We're leaving Texas to fight for Texans,” Gene Wu, a state representative from Houston and the chair of the Democratic caucus in the Texas House, said in a statement Sunday.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani calls in for an unfiltered conversation with Adam. They begin by discussing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and whether a regime change in Iran is on the horizon. The two also tackle the controversial question of whether a “deep state” exists within the U.S. government, using a recent clip from The Colbert Show featuring Senator Elissa Slotkin as a jumping-off point. Rudy then walks Adam through how he came into possession of Hunter Biden's infamous laptop and details some of the incriminating contents found on it. They discuss the media's refusal to cover the story seriously and reflect on how similar tactics were used to launch smear campaigns against Donald Trump. Adam wraps up the interview by asking Rudy for his take on Vladimir Putin and the narrative that Putin preferred Trump over Kamala Harris in U.S. elections.Jason “Mayhem” Miller returns to the studio to go over some of the trending headlines. They dive into a viral story about a wife charging her husband for packing his lunches, sparking debate over modern marriage dynamics. The conversation shifts to Shannon Sharpe's unexpected exit from ESPN, just weeks after settling a legal battle over sexual assault allegations. Then, they take a look at a scandal involving the Barneys heir accused of helping his family dodge $20 million in taxes. Finally, they wrap things up with a health headline about how your everyday sandwich might be messing with your mood, prompting Adam to chime in with his usual dietary skepticism.FOR MORE WITH RUDY GIULIANI:TWITTER: @RudyGiulianiINSTAGRAM: @TheRudyGiuliani FOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com Thank you for supporting our sponsors:Homes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvSIMPLISAFE.COM/ADAMLIVE SHOWS: August 6 - Reno, NVAugust 7 - Portland, ORAugust 31 - Torrance, CASeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 4681: Intel Confirms Clinton Plans To Smear Trump; CCP Inside The Fed
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to Gaza Friday to tour an Israeli-backed aid site, amid growing global outcry over the country's handling of its war with Hamas. New polling from Gallup shows barely a third of Americans support Israel's actions in Gaza, a new low. And two Israeli human rights organizations last week concluded Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, a first since the start of the war almost two years ago. But as of now, there's no indication Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government have any plans to wind down the war. Yair Rosenberg, a staff writer at The Atlantic, talks about the ‘corrupt bargain' that went into the making of Netanyahu's coalition.And in headlines: White House officials defended President Donald Trump's decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after a bad jobs report, Texas House Democrats fled the state to block Republicans from redrawing the state's congressional map, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting said it would shut down.Show notes:Read Yair's work - https://www.theatlantic.com/author/yair-rosenberg/Learn More About The Texas Redistricting Push - https://tinyurl.com/4x9f9ee8Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe 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

Peter Schiff critiques the latest jobs report, dissects the implications of Trump's tariffs, and explores the weak labor market and economic realities.In this episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter Schiff delves into the deceptive nature of recent job reports, highlighting how misleading statistics mask a weak labor market. He critiques the government's methodology in reporting job creation, emphasizing the significant downward revisions that undermine the perceived strength of the economy. Schiff discusses the implications of rising tariffs on consumer prices and how they contribute to stagflation, ultimately leading to a precarious economic outlook. As he analyzes the Federal Reserve's stance on interest rates amidst these troubling indicators, Schiff reinforces his belief that the realities of the labor market and inflation are far more dire than official narratives suggest. Tune in for an insightful examination of the economic landscape through Schiff's candid lens.

President Trump's firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner is not without international precedent.

Alex Padilla (D-CA) said President Donald Trump's decision to fire Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of labor statistics, was an attempt to weaponize the agency.

Source: zerohedge.com BLS had big problems with data manipulation, 2024 internal report shows Now writer Don Surber has discovered a doozy of a BLS internal report from 2024, reported by Bloomberg News, that the agency has been mismanaging data up the wazoo. According to Bloomberg: The US Bureau of Labor Statistics is “not sufficiently focused” on how it disseminates key economic data and a revamp of the agency's culture is required, according to a report commissioned after a series of botched releases. The Labor Department, which oversees the BLS, ordered the independent review to examine “procedures and practices for the equitable and timely provision of data to the public.” The findings of the 60-day external review were published Tuesday and included a number of recommendations to improve processes and communications. “We have already begun the work of turning the team's recommendations into a roadmap to recommit our agency to data security and equitable access to data,” BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer said on a call Tuesday. Well, she didn't. This corresponds pretty well to the problems President Trump cited on the day he gave her the boot: Note that he didn't object to the data itself, as Summers and his buddies claimed; he objected to the constant revisions of the data, big, unprecedented revisions, released at politically sensitive times, always good for the Democrats and always bad for the Republicans, pretty well nullifying the purpose of collecting data at all. She also said she'd have the problems under control -- and she didn't, so out she went. The Bloomberg report is more disturbing than just major revisions of data that Trump cited. Deep in the Bloomberg story, there are doings like this: The report was commissioned after several incidents arou...

Trump promised to govern for the whole of the people rather than special interests. Sadly, this administration has become a conduit for Big Tech and every special interest under the sun. This is why the DHS is now fighting a bipartisan effort to block TSA from using your biometric information gathered at airports. Sadly, Republicans have no narrative on housing, health care, and inflation and are too busy claiming the economy is good. They also have no answer for judicial supremacism, which is worse than ever before. Finally, I update you on the latest fight with AI data centers and show how we could galvanize a bipartisan rebellion among the people if we had a party that wasn't bought out by special interests.

Trump fired a key official after she delivered some bad news about jobs numbers. Courtenay Brown with Axios explains what that means for the credibility of government statistics, and unpacks what we learned about the U.S. economy from last week’s flurry of news. As Trump pushes for an end to the war in Ukraine, many thousands of children taken from the country to Russia are still missing. Simon Shuster, a senior correspondent at Time, joins to discuss his reporting. It’s been one month since severe rain and flash floods overwhelmed Texas Hill Country and killed at least 135 people. During public hearings, state lawmakers have scrutinized the official disaster response and heard from survivors. Emily Foxhall with the Texas Tribune unpacks the key takeaways. Plus, Hamas released videos of emaciated Israeli hostages, why state lawmakers in Texas are temporarily fleeing, and the Russian region shaken by an earthquake is now contending with a volcano. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu. Correction: President Trump’s new tariffs will take effect on Thursday, Aug. 7. A previous version of this episode said they will take effect on Friday, Aug. 8.
