Jeff is back after a long absence, and he explains why: the bipartisan insanity in America left him too disgusted to record, even for the nation's 250th birthday. He remembers the 1976 bicentennial, when kids collected special quarters, flags flew everywhere, and Americans actually liked their country. Compare that to now. What changed? Muslim terror supporters are winning elections coast to coast: Mamdani's New York, where tax dollars fund Israel-bashing puppet shows for four-year-olds, and Michigan, where Abdul El-Sayed will cruise into the Senate after answering a synagogue terror attack with "hurt people, hurt people." Jew hate is now the one issue uniting the far left and the Nazi right — and it wins. And Jeff is officially done defending Trump. Iran "unconditionally surrendered"? They're still firing missiles, rebuilding nuclear sites, and executing protesters while Trump begs for a deal and dangles F-35s in front of Turkey's fanatical dictator Erdogan. Compromised by Qatari billions or just a moron — either way, America's last chance is gone. Next week: Jeff finally takes on the Lindsay Clancy case.
Who are the Kennedys, really? And what has made the legacy of America's political dynasty so famous, divisive and enduring? The Kennedys are often described as the closest thing the United States has to a royal family, with fiercely competitive and divisive figures taking up space in American political and public life for generations.Even now, the influence of the Kennedy family continues to persist with RFK Junior, who is serving as the U.S. secretary of health and human services.There have been Kennedys who thrived with fame and power, and those who struggled greatly with that burden, with tragic consequences.The sunniest images of this famous family come from when they gathered at their rambling seaside compound in Cape Cod in the summers.One particular summer, in 1944, changed everything for the Kennedy clan, according to historian Leigh Straw, who is an internationally recognised expert on the Kennedy family and their legacy.It was the final year of World War Two—Jack, the future president, had become a war hero but his health was ailing; his brothers Bobby and Teddy were there, but their eldest brother Joe Junior was in England, preparing to embark on his final wartime mission. Their sister Rosemary was out of the picture altogether, hidden away from public and never spoken of.This was the year, Leigh says, when personal tragedies and public heroics began to shape the Kennedy legacy.The Kennedys at Cape Cod, 1944: The Summer That Changed Everything is published by Bloomsbury.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggiei Morris.

This summer the state of New Mexico sued the Justice department for access to unredacted files related to Jeffrey Epstein. On this week's On the Media, an Epstein beat reporter shares her ongoing quest for accountability. Plus, an investigation into Tulsi Gabbard's mysterious relationship with a guru, and how it may have shaped her politics. [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Julie K. Brown, an investigative journalist at the Miami Herald, whose reporting in 2018 led to Jeffrey Epstein's arrest. They discuss how the Epstein files that have been released reveal how prosecutors failed to bring the sex trafficker to justice for years. This conversation first aired earlier this year. [19:08] Brooke sits down with Jon Swaine, a reporter at the Washington Post, to talk about his masterful long-form reporting on ex-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. He investigates Gabbard's mysterious relationship with her guru, and how it could account for Gabbard's shapeshifting from Democrat to Bernie Sanders ally to top MAGA staffer. [36:50] Brooke continues her conversation with Jon Swaine, and they dig into the nuts and bolts of his investigation into Tulsi Gabbard's relationship with her guru Chris Butler.

Donald Trump is continuing to lose support in the polls. A new poll from the American Research Group found that only 30% of those questioned approve of the way Trump is handling things – 69% disapproving of his handling of the economy. There are big concerns even among Republicans, with 29% disapproving of the way the President is handling his job. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking it comes as the US national debt hit $40 trillion, with a third of that accumulating during Trump's terms.

Donald Trump's second term is unlike his first. The politicians who challenged him are gone. The lawyers who once pushed back now choose their battles. What remains is an imperial president with almost no internal checks, using executive power to reshape everything from the economy, immigration and even the presidency itself. Few journalists have covered Trump as closely as the New York Times journalist Jonathan Swan. Jonathan Freedland speaks to him about how the president has consolidated such power – and what it could mean for the US and the world
From calls to abolish borders and grant immediate amnesty to shocking poll numbers on dismantling key US institutions—the far-left agenda is pushing radical shifts like never before!
In this episode of Guardian Australia's weekly US politics podcast, co-hosts Jonathan Yerushalmy and Reged Ahmad take a look at how the Michigan Senate primaries could decide the future of the Democrats. This is a race that has revealed the civil war raging inside the party, as some seek to take it further to the left, with candidates such as Abdul El-Sayed. But will this schism be the Democrats' Maga moment, or will it leave the party open to a Republican communist ‘red scare' campaign that could cost them the midterms? They also look at why the Senate unanimously passed a resolution declaring its opposition to any presidential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, as well as the next chapter in the reflecting pool saga and why Donald Trump said US attorney and Maga faithful Jeanine Pirro had ‘folded like an umbrella'

America Is Exhausted: Is Tuning Out Self-Care—or Surrender? Political chaos, economic anxiety, extreme heat, social media outrage—America is running on empty. In this episode of The Karel Cast, Karel examines the growing sense of national fatigue under Donald Trump.

Karel also discusses Ariana Grande's reported retreat from the spotlight amid relentless criticism of her appearance and the negativity surrounding social media. Her decision raises a question many exhausted Americans are asking: When the noise becomes unbearable, is pulling back the healthiest response?

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Ceuta Migrant Surge, Fauci Senate Testimony, DEI in Nolan's The Odyssey, and Escalation Toward World War III Matt and Doug discuss a sudden influx of about 49,000 Moroccans into Spain's small enclave of Ceuta, questioning how the territory can house and feed them, whether NGOs and Moroccan authorities facilitated the crossing, and how Spain or the EU could respond given asylum rules and limited enforcement. They compare the event to past mass-migration episodes in Europe and the U.S. The conversation shifts to Anthony Fauci's Senate testimony, Rand Paul's questioning, Biden's blanket pardon, and allegations of profiteering and lack of accountability. They then review controversy around Nolan's film The Odyssey, arguing DEI casting choices may have been used subversively while still praising parts of the movie. They also cover U.S. border-device searches and debate whether expanding conflicts around Iran, attacks on energy infrastructure, and U.S. involvement indicate a slide toward World War III, including nuclear or cyber escalation. 00:00 Ceuta Migrant Surge 02:24 Can Spain Stop It 04:40 History and Parallels 09:06 Was It Organized 12:36 Spillover to US Politics 14:10 Fauci Senate Showdown 18:38 Nolan Odyssey DEI Debate 27:03 TSA Phone Wipe Case 28:40 Iran Conflict World War Risk 36:15 Wrap Up and Listener Questions

Leftwing Democrats are having their moment in the sun, with Zohran Mamdani in New York, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and endless calls for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president in 2028.

There's just under 100 days until the US midterms arrive. Broadly, the Democrats have an edge in the polls, but both the House and the Senate are tight – the Republicans holding a narrow majority. There are a few key factors that are likely to play a role in the election's outcome – Donald Trump's war in the Middle East, his unpredictability, and the business with the Supreme Court. Expert in US politics, Nick Bryant told Mike Hosking the economic disruption caused by Trump's war with Iran is so politically problematic. “One of the key things about this war, Mike, is that Trump cannot warp reality,” Bryant explained. “He cannot get even his most ardent supporters to ignore the evidence of their own eyes and the evidence of their own wallets.” A Washington Post-Ipsos poll shows waning support for Trump, with his overall approval rating sitting at 37%. The way he's handling the economy and Iran are viewed even more negatively, with only 33% saying they approve of his economic stewardship, and 29% approving of his handling of Iran. "Even amongst Republicans, it's terrible,” Bryant told Hosking. “Just 19% of Republicans have told CNN in the latest poll that they are enthusiastic about the rest of his second term.” “That's just one in five Republicans.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Democrats, Read the Room: Why AOC, Mamdani and Young Voters Could Decide the Future Republicans are already branding Democrats as “socialists” and “communists” to frighten voters—but should Democrats really let those attacks dictate their agenda? Candidates such as Zohran Mamdani are winning because younger voters want affordable housing, healthcare, economic fairness and meaningful change. They're listening to democratic socialists, liking what they hear and turning out to vote. So why are establishment Democrats fighting the candidates energizing their own base instead of working with leaders such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Karel asks whether Democrats truly want transformative change—or simply want to preserve the political status quo. Also: Working from home remains enormously popular, but a San Francisco landlord reportedly wants to charge residents an additional $200 if they work from their apartments. Is that a reasonable fee, an invasion of privacy or another example of renters being squeezed? Join the conversation: Should Democrats embrace their progressive wing? And does a landlord have any right to charge tenants for working from home? Support The Karel Cast at Patreon. Watch, like, comment and subscribe at YouTube.

After taking some time away to help my family through my dad's open-heart surgery, I'm back with a new episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson. Thank you to everyone who reached out and supported my family during this time.Today, I share my opinions on several current events. I discuss why I believe America must remain a sovereign nation and why I have concerns about the growing military relationship between the United States and Israel, including why I believe these actions raise real constitutional and legal questions.I also share my thoughts on the continued loss of American service members in the Iran War and explain why the United States should NOT be involved in another foreign war.Finally, I discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk and how it is connected to the Epstein files, and why I think Americans deserve greater transparency and accountability from those in power.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app
The crypto industry has spent $200 million to get a bill too corrupt for Democrats to pass and a president too corrupt to sign anything that might meaningfully limit his grift. Originally published on July 23, 2026.
Inside the growing U.S.–Israeli military partnership, AI surveillance technology, data centers, cybersecurity firms, and political lobbying are becoming increasingly connected. In this episode, investigative journalist and YouTube creator Tommy G discusses the proposed expansion of U.S.–Israel defense integration, the role of artificial intelligence and cyber warfare, Israeli settlements in the West Bank, surveillance companies such as Palantir and Flock Safety, and concerns about privacy, censorship, and government overreach. Tommy also explains why he expanded his reporting beyond crime and street documentaries to cover Gaza, Palestine, Israel, foreign influence in American politics, AIPAC campaign spending, AI-generated political propaganda, license-plate tracking, and the rapid growth of the surveillance state. Topics discussed include: • U.S.–Israel military and technology integration • AI surveillance and cyber warfare • Palantir, Flock Safety, and data privacy • Israeli cybersecurity companies and U.S. data centers • AIPAC lobbying and campaign spending • Gaza, Palestine, and West Bank settlements • Government surveillance and constitutional rights • Artificial intelligence in modern warfare • Free speech, censorship, and political influence • Whether public pressure can still change government policy This conversation contains strong opinions, allegations, and disputed claims from the participants.

Trump's $87.6 Billion Iran War Request vs. SNAP: War or Food? The Trump administration wants another $87.6 billion, mostly for military spending connected to the Iran war. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the war has already cost $37.5 billion, while more than 500 American troops have reportedly been wounded and 17 killed. What has this enormous sacrifice accomplished—and where is the plan? Consider the numbers: Annual federal cost of SNAP in FY2024: $99.8 billion Reported Iran-war cost to date: $37.5 billion Administration's supplemental request: $87.6 billion Combined amounts under discussion: $125.1 billion That last comparison is not a precise accounting total—the supplemental package includes some non-war spending and may overlap with costs already incurred—but its scale is staggering. The request alone nearly equals what the federal government spends on SNAP for an entire year. At a time when millions of Americans are struggling to afford food, housing and healthcare, why can Washington find nearly $90 billion for another war—but not comparable resources to fight hunger and poverty at home? Also in this episode: RFK Jr. claims the cyclospora outbreak is under control despite rising cases, hospitalizations and unanswered questions about its source. The Trump administration's assault on HIV/AIDS prevention continues, with approximately 1,700 sites reportedly closed—raising grave concerns about Project 2025, public health and the disproportionate harm inflicted on LGBTQ+ communities.

Political polarization in the U.S. can feel like a lost cause. Trying to have productive conversations with people you disagree with over politics can seem pointless, especially now. News media and social media often reduce “the other side” to its most extreme forms. This creates a negative feedback loop, weakening our ability to function as a democracy. But research suggests that Americans — on both the Left and the Right — often misperceive how hostile, uniform, or different their opponents really are. In our seven part Beyond Polarization series, we're talking to experts from across the political spectrum — in journalism, education, government, and more — about what it's costing Americans, and what we can actually do about it. The point isn't to agree (not gonna happen), or even to move toward the center. As our guest for this first episode Julia Minson puts it, we need to learn to “disagree better.” Julia Minson is a social psychologist and professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. She's the author of How to Disagree Better published in March 2026, and the founder of the behavioral science consulting firm Disagreeing Better, offering speaking and training on effective management of conflict. In this episode she shares some of her research findings about what we get wrong about each other, and what interventions have worked to correct misperceptions. Plus, a proven formula you can use to have a meaningful conversation in conflict situations. Thoughts on this episode? Find us on social media @makingpeacevisible (details below) or email info@makingpeacevisible.org.

Trump Rehashes 2020 Election as U.S. Soldiers Die | The Karel Cast Donald Trump used a Thursday night Oval Office address to revisit the 2020 election—again—even as American soldiers die overseas and families at home struggle with soaring grocery bills, gas prices, extreme heat and dangerous air quality. While the nation faces urgent crises, Trump is heading to a FIFA match. Karel examines the priorities, politics and human cost behind this troubling moment. Also in today's episode: California steps in to help rescue Lake Mead. The Odyssey is driving the right-wing outrage machine wild—but Karel hasn't seen it yet, for a reason that may surprise you.

The debate about how old is too old to serve in public office has resurfaced this week after the shock death of the Republican Lindsey Graham and the surprise return of Mitch McConnell, the 84-year-old senator who published a photo of himself in hospital after a long absence from the spotlight. With rumours continuing to swirl around Donald Trump's health, why is it that US politicians seem to cling on to power for so long? Jonathan Freedland speaks to Alexis Coe, a presidential historian and columnist for the New York Times Book Review, about whether the US is becoming a gerontocracy
ABC has enlisted the help of its audience to defend The View and Jimmy Kimmel against attacks from the Federal Communications Commission. On this week's On the Media, hear about the MAGA movement trying to shift television to the right. Plus, the legal theory that the FCC is using to put pressure on the networks. [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Jim Rutenberg, writer-at-large for the New York Times, about how Trump's FCC is reviving a nearly century-old rule to crack down on late-night talk shows. Rutenberg explains why MAGA's embrace of the FCC's regulatory powers to go after “liberal bias” in the media signals a shift within the Republican party. [26:47] Brooke sits down with Daniel Suhr, the president of a legal advocacy group called the Center for American Rights and the architect behind the legal theory that the FCC is using to put pressure on TV networks. They discuss his goal to make network TV look more like the AM radio band. Further reading: “How a Century-Old Rule Is Scrambling Late-Night TV,” by Jim Rutenberg “The MAGA Plan to Take Over TV Is Just Beginning,” by Jim Rutenberg “The FCC's Public Notice on ‘Bona Fide News,'” by Daniel Suhr “The end of an agency,” by Daniel Suhr “Straight Talk on FCC 'Jawboning'” by Daniel Suhr On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

In August of 2023, police raided a small local newspaper in rural Kansas, seizing computers and cellphones. Later, the paper's publisher would discover there was no legal basis for the search. On this week's On the Media, find out who was behind the raid, and what the saga reveals about the plight of local journalism today. [01:00] On a Friday morning in a small, rural town in Kansas, the publisher of the local newspaper opens his door to see the police. They have a search warrant in hand, and within minutes, they're searching his home. He finds out that at the same time, officers are combing through his newsroom, seizing computers and cellphones. All of this comes as a massive surprise – no warning, no subpoena, and, as he later finds out, no legal right. This week, we're airing an episode of KCRW's Question Everything, hosted by Brian Reed, which digs into why this violent raid occurred, who's behind it, and the long-lasting, tragic ramifications.
