To date, Trump 2.0 has been defined by everybody appearing to be on the same page and by a sense that the administration kept moving its priorities forward. You might not have liked what those priorities were, but the priorities did get done. The one big beautiful bill was described as an administration's worth of priorities getting done too soon, and it seems like that might have been prophetic. Trump 1.0 returns when internal fights spill into public view, aides leak against one another, major spectacles vanish with nothing much changing, and the president treats factional drama as fuel rather than a problem to solve.Go back to the beginning of 2025, when Trump 2.0 very much was aligned. The coalition was locked in. The administration had momentum. USAID dismantled in a split second. The one big beautiful bill pushed over the finish line in record time. Again, the point isn't that these were good things that happened. It's that they kept happening. But no momentum is made to last forever. Maybe the coalition was always doomed to splinter. The cracks began to show as people were fired, as Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi went down for various different ICE shootings and Epstein, accelerating distrust and leaving Dan Bongino back on the radio airwaves. Either way, the drama that Trump 2.0 kept outside the tent has now fully moved back within it.How do we know? Because they're telling us.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Take the address that happened last Thursday night. We knew officials were fighting over how much information the president should share when he was speaking to America. Acting DNI Bill Pulte pushed for a more aggressive version, but senior White House aides intervened. Separate reports said the speech might have claimed that Georgia's two Democratic senators were elected illegitimately because they both came in during the 2020 runoff. The final address didn't go that far, meaning somebody pulled something back — or at least that's what the reports would lead us to believe, which means somebody inside the administration is telling a reporter. The 24-minute speech eventually focused more on election interference and intelligence findings as a way to get to the idea that the Save America Act should be passed. But even that's telling, because the speech was quickly swallowed by the news cycle. That's another hallmark of Trump 1.0: a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing, or at least nothing that's remembered more than 48 hours later.The biggest Trump 1.0 tell is Iran. From the very beginning, the administration has said the Iran strategy has two hands. Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth are the closed fist, the violence that will come down on the regime, while J.D. Vance, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff are the open hand of diplomacy. If you want to make a deal on our terms, we're always welcome. In the meantime, we'll punch you in the face. Trump has actively encouraged a rivalry between Vance and Rubio, asking people all the time who they think should be the next president. And now the proxies of both men are in out-and-out war online.Alex Bruesewitz is on the J.D. Vance side, making it a priority to talk about how much foreign influence, including Israel, is affecting the discourse. Meanwhile, Israel hawks, including Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro, are attacking Vance, saying he's surrendering to Qatar and he's mostly a socialist. The damage is falling most heavily on Vance because he's become the face of diplomacy. If the memorandum of understanding had worked, he would've gotten the credit. Since there's now a lot of violence happening in that region again, he gets the blame. Instead of all of this being part of one big rolling ball that is the Trump administration, we now have winners and losers, which means people inside that sphere are playing the game. Very Trump 1.0.The reason this happens in both instances is, well, Big Chungus. Trump 2.0's advantage was that the drama stayed outside the tent and the team inside was united. Now we're getting a clearer view of exactly what the war behind closed doors looks like, and in my opinion, it goes hand in hand with priorities not being enacted. You hear a lot about the Save America Act, but it's stalled and doesn't have the votes to become law. Iran is different because the consequences are immediate. Trump has to show that either pressure or diplomacy can produce a successful end state. If neither path works, he'll have made a very big bet without a clear conclusion, and he'll have to define a win for himself even if it's not very clear to the American people. We might already be in the lame-duck phase for Donald Trump, which may make all of these problems worse.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:44 - Trump 1.000:11:36 - Darlene Graham00:16:05 - Reconciliation, Again, Again00:19:38 - Andy Burnham00:25:03 - Interview with Michael Cohen01:13:55 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Donald Trump has this uncanny ability to make Democrats tell on themselves without even trying. Barack Obama just gave us another example.[X] SB - Pres Trump Obama SOBObama recently decided to float the idea that Donald Trump has him "living rent-free" in Trump's head. That's rich. That's like the guy who burned your house down complaining that you keep bringing up the fire. "Kevin, why are you still talking about the arsonist?" Because I'm still rebuilding the kitchen, genius.Obama wants to turn accountability into obsession.Every time Trump has to fix another Obama disaster, somehow Obama translates that into, "See? He can't stop thinking about me."No, Barack. That's called cleaning up after you.If your teenager wrecks the family car, you don't spend six months in the body shop because you're obsessed with your teenager. You spend six months there because he drove it through the living room.Obama wants to frame history as psychology.Trump isn't haunted by Obama. America is still paying Obama's bills.And I have to laugh at the phrase "living rent-free."If anybody would understand rent-free housing, it'd be Democrats. If Obama were living anywhere inside Trump's mind, it'd have to qualify for Section 8. There'd be federal subsidies, three oversight committees, two NGOs, and somehow USAID would still send money overseas.Obama accomplished something remarkable. He convinced millions of Americans that decline was sophistication.[X] SB – DSA in their own words Act from the belly of the beast.

Guest Host: Terry Slatic & Nick Richardson Deseret News concludes that one year after USAID's dismantling, the move remains highly controversial. Critics argue the changes weakened global humanitarian assistance and disrupted vital health and development programs, while supporters contend the restructuring reduced waste and aligned foreign-aid spending more closely with U.S. interests.

Let's figure this out.Nicole Whalen, founder of Green Compass, is revolutionizing urban sustainability by tackling one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions: buildings. During today's episode, Nicole explained how her company uses an innovative approach to retrofit commercial properties in Washington, D.C., turning asphalt-covered cities into vibrant green spaces.“At least 70% of the city's emissions come from the building sector,” Nicole shared. “Green Compass retrofits them to be no and low carbon, combining clean energy and clean water solutions.”The standout feature of Green Compass's work is its emphasis on green stormwater infrastructure. Nicole's team installs rain gardens, infiltration trenches, and tree canopies to manage runoff water naturally. Their proprietary stormwater retention credit system incentivizes property owners to adopt greener systems by creating financial rewards for reducing pollution and preventing floods.Nicole offered a glimpse into her process: “We excavate very large holes and backfill them with special sand, soil, and native plants. This captures rain where it falls, preventing it from running off hard surfaces into rivers without treatment.” These systems don't just mitigate water pollution and flooding—they're living, carbon-sequestering ecosystems.The visual transformation of once drab, urban parking lots into vibrant green spaces is a key motivator for the team. Nicole explained, “It's amazing when we replace asphalt with gardens that bloom with flowers like irises. These changes improve not just the environment but community aesthetics.”Green Compass's accomplishments extend beyond environmental impact. By selling over $1 million in stormwater retention credits, the company has proven the viability of its business model. Nicole is currently raising capital via a regulated crowdfunding campaign on Honeycomb Credit to expand Green Compass's groundbreaking work.“I'd much rather profit-share with mission-driven investors than big banks,” Nicole confided. Her crowdfunding approach also amplifies the value of her investors' feedback and insight.With 10 acres under management, Green Compass is poised to continue scaling its mission of transforming urban landscapes into carbon-sequestering havens. Nicole's story of combining ambition, innovation, and environmental stewardship is an inspiring call to action for future-focused entrepreneurs.tl;dr:Nicole Whalen founded Green Compass to address emissions and urban flooding using green infrastructure.Green Compass sells stormwater retention credits to incentivize eco-friendly retrofits for buildings.Efforts include creating rain gardens, tree canopies, and trenches to reduce runoff and beautify cities.Nicole demonstrates fearless problem-solving by building new markets and doubling down on innovative ideas.She's raising funds via Honeycomb Credit, sharing profits with mission-driven investors to scale impact.How to Develop Fearless Problem-Solving As a SuperpowerNicole's superpower lies in her mindset of tackling challenges head-on with the question, “How hard can it be?” She explained, “I walk into challenges not seeing them as insurmountable. Let's figure this out.” This willingness to solve problems with determination and optimism reflects her “lean into change” philosophy, which has steered Green Compass through an unpredictable world.One standout example of this superpower in action is Nicole's adoption of stormwater retention credits as a revenue stream for Green Compass. When she founded the company in 2018, this wasn't part of the plan. But using her knowledge of solar credits, she built a successful model that now accounts for 80% of Green Compass's revenue, surpassing $1 million to date. Her ability to see opportunities in emerging markets has made her company a pioneer in D.C.'s stormwater credit ecosystem.Here are her tips to develop fearless problem-solving as a personal strength:See Change as Opportunity: Lean into uncertainty with faith that new outcomes can be better.Tackle Challenges Efficiently: Stay calm in adversity and focus on finding actionable solutions.Adopt a Growth Mindset: Treat every challenge as a learning experience to build resilience and expertise.Draw Parallels: Apply knowledge from one domain (like solar credits) creatively in other contexts.By following Nicole's example and advice, you can make fearless problem-solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileNicole Whalen (she/her):Founder & CEO, Green Compass LLCAbout Green Compass LLC: Based in Washington DC, Green Compass retrofits commercial and multifamily buildings to fight climate change by deploying:

The Department of Government Efficiency, better known as DOGE, has officially been terminated. Its July 4th sunset date was part of Donald Trump's original executive order that created the agency, which Elon Musk ran. During his tenure, Musk oversaw the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D., which used to provide life-saving medical and nutritional programs around the world. Musk, who recently became the world's first trillionaire, claims that there is no evidence that a single person died after DOGE cancelled more than eighty per cent of U.S.A.I.D.'s programs, cutting basic health-care access to some ninety-five million people. Atul Gawande disagrees. He was the assistant administrator for global health at U.S.A.I.D. until he stepped down, the same week Trump ended U.S. foreign assistance. Gawande says an estimated seven hundred thousand people have already died as a result of the cuts. David Remnick speaks with the longtime New Yorker contributor about the profound effects of ending U.S.A.I.D.'s work abroad, Musk's involvement in these decisions, and the deaths it all has wrought.

On June 24, 2026, two consecutive earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude—the strongest to strike Venezuela in more than a century—devastated the country's northern coast, including the city of La Guaira and parts of Caracas. This episode features Carolina Jiménez Sandoval, WOLA's president, who was visiting Venezuela when the earthquakes hit and subsequently traveled to the hardest-hit zone, and Laura Dib, director of WOLA's Venezuela program, who has closely tracked the humanitarian response and U.S. policy dimensions. Carolina offers a firsthand account of the disaster and its aftermath. She describes the profound isolation caused by the Venezuelan government's pre-existing censorship regime—with platforms like X, CNN, and independent media blocked—which left citizens unable to access life-saving information during the critical first hours. Traveling to La Guaira, she found scenes closer to "a war zone" than a natural disaster, with collapsed buildings, others on the brink of collapse, precarious improvised shelters, and families living in the open air without adequate water, food, or assistance. Above all, she encountered a pervasive sense of abandonment. A central theme of the conversation is the "hollowness" of the Venezuelan state, laid bare by years of corruption, authoritarian misrule, and the emigration of some eight million people—including doctors, nurses, and engineers. Carolina notes that the armed forces, which acted as first responders during earlier tragedies, now function largely as a repressive and surveilling force, controlling access to disaster sites rather than aiding survivors. Laura provides data and policy analysis. The government, through National Assembly head Jorge Rodríguez—brother of de facto ruler Delcy Rodríguez—reports roughly 3,500 deaths and 16,000 injured, though the U.S. Geological Survey estimates the toll could range between 10,000 and 100,000. The UN estimates direct infrastructure damage at $37 billion. Laura situates the disaster within a longstanding humanitarian emergency and explains how the 2025 dismantling of USAID reduced disaster-response capacity, even as the U.S. pledged $300 million, a figure dwarfed by the $1.15 billion pledged after Haiti's 2010 earthquake. Laura and Carolina discuss the uncomfortable U.S. alignment with the unelected Delcy Rodríguez government, whose constitutional legitimacy has expired without new elections. They argue the disaster has badly set back the Trump administration's three-stage transition plan and revealed the state's incapacity to protect its citizens. Notably, Venezuelan social movements are now directing their demands at the U.S. government rather than their own institutions. Venezuela's beleagured civil society is a bright spot. Despite an anti-NGO law criminalizing foreign funding, organizations like Caritas and Fe y Alegría, alongside diaspora networks and ordinary citizens, have organized shelters, distributed supplies, and built databases to track the missing and separated children. A reputable site for donations to disaster relief is Donar Seguro. WOLA recommends that aid flow through transparent, accountable channels; that the anti-NGO law be repealed; that social media and VPN blockades be lifted; that the U.S.-run oil-revenue fund be used transparently for Venezuelans' benefit; and that the Trump administration reinstate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and halt deportations of Venezuelans in the United States. A deportation flight of 146 people arrived on the day of the earthquake, most of whom died in a hotel—a site the political police blocked Carolina from visiting. Venezuela's reconstruction will require a long-term commitment and, crucially, the rebuilding of public trust. This can only happen in the context of a genuine democratic transition.
In this explosive July 8, 2026 episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay dives deep into the tragic death of Nolan Wells on the Gulf Coast. Was it an accidental drowning after a day of boating and drinking, or something more sinister? Clay, joined by Creston Burch, breaks down the conflicting narratives, the rush to blame "racism," the reality of river/boating culture, "no man left behind" myths, and why some are determined to see racism on the death certificate no matter what the autopsy reveals. **Hour 1:** Clay and Creston Burch discuss the suspicious reactions, cultural differences in how friends handle leaving parties, pill/fentanyl risks, and the absurdity of "bleached" white liberals claiming Black identity to agree with common sense takes. **Hour 2:** Creston Burch returns alongside January 6 survivor and retired Clinton PD officer Tommy Tatum. They tackle Jackson's latest proposed crime-fighting strategies — more cameras, license plate readers, gunshot detection, etc. — and debate surveillance vs. freedom, constitutional rights, government overreach, police corruption, and why high-crime areas see things differently. Plus, January 6 footage drops, USAID/rap music conspiracies, and more unfiltered truth. Clay also covers meatloaf Wednesday at Blue Plate, Cypress Point Resort specials, sponsor shoutouts, and the usual no-holds-barred takedown of Jackson's dysfunction. **Stream the full show now** on YouTube, Rumble, X, Facebook, or the WYAB audio stream.

Aaron Brown is an author and risk management professional, formerly the Chief Risk Officer at the hedge fund AQR. Aaron's recent works are titled Wrong Number: How to Extract Truth From a Blizzard of Quantitative Disinformation and The Poker Face of Wall Street. Greg and Aaron discuss why quantitatively flawed studies still persist today. Aaron argues that the central problem is not just incompetence or conspiracy but a macro phenomenon he calls tribalism, combined with the diffusion of responsibility across authors, reviewers, journals, and journalists. He discusses examples, including an NTSB “Chinatown bus” study, a USAID mortality claim, a Chunnel fire-risk study, an observational marijuana/heart-attack paper, and a study claiming 40% of COVID deaths were caused by evictions and later cited in courts and legislation. They contrast academia's weak incentives with finance and gambling, where betting forces accountability, and Aaron describes the empirical Bayesian approach he prefers using base rates and evidence. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: There are consequences to publicizing bad research. [34:45] I think most researchers are careful not to let the university press office get ahold of their bad study. They're careful not to go out and give interviews on it. The ones who forget that, they're the ones who cause the problems and get caught. I mean, not many people do get caught, and the consequences of getting caught are pretty low, but it can happen. You lose professional credibility, and that's extremely important, you know? That's really the be all and end all for most researchers I know, is what their peer researchers think of them. And that's where you get hurt. In fact, you get hurt even for getting publicity for your good work, you know? There still is a real feeling in a lot of sciences that the guy in the headline is not a real scientist. Why are people so easily misled by quantitative information? [05:32] It's been documented over and over in lots of different ways, that most published research findings are false, and yet nobody seems to care. Aaron discusses the promise and pitfalls of Bayesian reasoning. [57:28] You don't have to go all the way to Bayesian to know that what they're doing in the journals is wrong. The journal, the frequentist, the Fisher classical hypothesis testing, the gold standard, double-blind control trials—those things are just wrong. And you don't have to go all the way to Bayesianism. You can just say, "Okay, we can just show mathematically that those don't work."

A new study is taking a close look at what happened to the workforce after the closure of the U.S. Agency for International Development, tracking the effects on jobs, finances and health. It offers one of the first large-scale pictures of how that loss of mission played out for employees and their families. Here to share her research findings and recommendations is former USAID foreign service officer, Jamie Oberlander.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The traditional nonprofit playbook is full of defaults nobody voted for: merge only when you're desperate, expect your team to run on empty, soften your mission to stay safe, and treat funders like they're doing you a favor. At the We Are For Good Summit, four leaders sat down to throw all of that out.

- The episode opens by blasting the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling, arguing it protects birth tourism, rewards illegal entry, and locks in automatic citizenship for children born to foreign nationals with no lasting tie to the United States. - A major focus is the Democratic Party's leftward collapse, with the show pointing to rising socialist candidates in New York and Colorado as proof that anti-capitalist, anti-Israel, and openly radical politics are now moving into the party's mainstream. - The episode also hammers the Biden-era TPS and immigration system, arguing that “temporary” protections became a backdoor settlement program that dumped migrants into struggling American towns while Democrats counted on future political gains. - Another major target is the media and Democratic attack line against Elon Musk, with the show mocking claims that USAID cuts “killed children” and arguing the real scandal is how taxpayer money was used to fund ideological and political projects overseas. - The show closes on the Phil Mickelson scandal, using a bombshell report about his alleged behavior toward women and friends' wives to argue that the longtime “family man” image is shattered beyond repair.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week and the runup to America's 250th with a discussion-heavy Friday. The New York Post reveals the FBI had Democrat insider Alexis Podesta wearing a wire inside Gavin Newsom's inner circle since June 2024, and CannCon connects it back to Alpha's "tickling the wire" prediction, noting the huge implications for both Newsom's presidential hopes and the California governor's race. The FBI assigns 260 analysts to a priority Fulton County 2020 election investigation under Kash Patel, and CannCon walks through why investigating enough jurisdictions establishes the systemic pattern even if every election cannot be checked. Mitch McConnell was found unconscious in his home, deepening the illegitimate Congress theme. Chris Paul opens the show with a sharp meditation on how sports are exporting human judgment to machines we wrongly assume are objective, and where that leads for adjudicating crimes. The back half turns cultural: a viral Trump derangement meltdown over an AI Teddy Roosevelt hologram, Jodie Foster saying F1 was written by AI, the CIA funding Jackson Pollock, USAID's apparent role in propping up rap music, and a lengthy MK Ultra segment on Sidney Gottlieb and why the program never actually ended.

Hour two of the Marc Cox Morning Show digs into accountability, from the streets of St. Louis to the halls of Washington. It opens with a lighthearted jab at Mayor Mamdani's out-of-touch heatwave advice before the Marc Cox Shortlist exposes CIA testimony on implanted memories and millions in USAID spending with no clear benefit to Americans. The St. Louis Morning Brief breaks down a road rage shooting where a city official's self-defense claim doesn't add up, plus the return of downtown St. Louis's curfew for minors and Illinois cracking down on hemp sales to those under 21. KMOX Sports Director Tom Ackerman joins to talk Team USA's gritty World Cup win, the Blues' new GM Alexander Steen, and a Cardinals team quietly building one of baseball's best farm systems. Then In Other News closes things out with daredevil building climbers facing real consequences and a mysterious vigilante Batman cleaning up the streets of Mexico. Accountability, common sense, and a little bit of chaos, that's Hour 2 of the Marc Cox Morning Show.

This week we discuss Jeremy Lewin's departure from the U.S. State Department's foreign aid bureau to the White House. His transition to the National Security Council ends a controversial leadership marked by the retreat of the U.S. from its long-held role as the world's leading bilateral donor. He is expected to be replaced by Andrew Veprek, who has pushed immigration and refugee restrictions at the State Department. As the United Nations continues to face budgetary constraints, we also analyze the potential merger of two major U.N. development agencies: the U.N. Development Programme, or UNDP, and UNOPS. While Secretary-General António Guterres sees this ambitious development reform as a way to overcome a yawning funding gap, UNDP chief Alexander De Croo and UNOPS Executive Director Jorge Moreira da Silva have butted heads over their vastly different visions for the future. During the conversation we also discuss our key takeaways from the Hamburg Sustainability Conference, including a new initiative that is designed to tackle debt, trade, climate finance, and multilateral reform to help reset the terms of global cooperation. To dig into these stories and others, Senior Reporter Adva Saldinger sits down with U.N. correspondent Colum Lynch and reporter Jesse Chase-Lubitz for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series. How can climate and nature investments move from ambition to action? In the sponsored segment of the episode, recorded live at Devex Impact House during London Climate Action Week, Kate Warren, Executive Editor and Executive Vice President at Devex, speaks with Waqas Batley, Senior Director, Conservation and Climate Finance Policy at The Nature Conservancy. Together, they explore how policy advocacy can help countries develop the plans, financial roadmaps, and regulatory systems needed to attract investment in nature and climate. The conversation looks at why nature should be understood as economic infrastructure, what finance ministries can do to send clearer signals to investors, and how approaches such as country platforms can help turn national climate and biodiversity priorities into investable pipelines.

Tommy and Ben talk through a week that includes US and Iranian airstrikes, a peace agreement, a Supreme Court double-header, and the French debate about air conditioning.First up, Israel and Lebanon have signed a 14-point peace agreement in Washington, but people on both sides question whether the deal will ever be implemented, and some in Lebanon fear that it could actually be a recipe for civil war. Meanwhile, the US ceasefire with Iran has produced a week of airstrikes and fighting over what was actually agreed to. Then a brazen new example of corruption combines a mining deal with Kazakhstan, the sons of both President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and $1.6 billion in federal funding. Then the guys dig into how Supreme Court rulings on the preservation of birthright citizenship and the gutting of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians will impact American foreign policy. They also cover the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela and the impact on the interim government, the debate within France over air conditioning while Europe bakes under a historic heat wave, and the most devastating World Cup losses so far this tournament. Then Tommy speaks to New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof about Elon Musk's brazen lie that “nobody died” as the result of Musk and DOGE “feeding USAID into the wood chipper.”For Friends of the Pod, the boys answer listener questions about how live audiences influence political speeches. They also recount some of their tougher culinary experiences while on diplomatic clock.Buy Ben's book All We Say: The Battle for American Identity: A History in 15 Speeches and subscribe to his Substack here.

Heritage Foundation Executive VP Derek Morgan joins Marc Cox to break down the Supreme Court decision that could reshape American government for a generation — and almost nobody is covering it. The overturning of Humphrey's Executor ends 90 years of congressional protection for the unelected bureaucrats embedded in federal agencies, and Derek has the receipts: over 90% of USAID employees donated to Democrats, and 75% of high-earning DC government workers told Rasmussen they would flat-out disobey a lawful presidential order they disagreed with. That is the deep state — and this ruling gives Trump the legal authority to start cleaning it out. Derek and Marc also tear into the birthright citizenship ruling, with Derek citing Justice Alito's extraordinary rebuke that the court has made one of the most serious mistakes in its history, and calling Justice Thomas's 93-page dissent — written in chapters — a monument to principled originalism. On court packing, Derek calls it a naked power grab. On John Roberts, he says the Chief Justice is too worried about what the DC cocktail circuit thinks. And on whether Trump could swap Roberts for Alito as Chief Justice — turns out he can't, but Marc Cox says maybe it's worth testing the waters anyway.

Marc Cox opens Hour 3 teasing the Supreme Court decision that will reshape American government for a generation before bringing in Heritage Foundation Executive VP Derek Morgan to break it all down. The overturning of Humphrey's Executor ends 90 years of congressional insulation for unelected deep state bureaucrats — Derek drops the receipts showing over 90% of USAID employees donated to Democrats and 75% of high-paid DC government workers said they would defy a lawful presidential order. Derek and Marc also torch the birthright citizenship ruling together, with Derek citing Justice Alito's historic rebuke and calling Justice Thomas's 93-page dissent a monument to principled originalism. On court packing, it is a naked power grab. On John Roberts, he is too worried about the DC cocktail circuit. Then Dr. David Yablonsky, Medical Director of Victory Men's Health, joins in studio for Men's Health Month and publicly shames Marc Cox on air for skipping his follow-up blood work — before laying out what he calls a genuine epidemic of ground-down American men suffering from fatigue, low testosterone, weight gain, and sexual dysfunction while the Wild West of unregulated clinics peddles medications without proper screening or monitoring. Victory Men's Health's fifth flagship location in Glen Carbon is weeks from opening. Kim on a Whim closes the hour with a flag freedom showdown — UK citizens getting fined thousands for flying their flag wrong while Marc Cox replaces his American flag with a Trump flag just to spite his HOA Karen neighbor, and the duo walks through proper American flag code ahead of July 4th.

The biggest political stories of the week are all in one episode. We break down the latest Supreme Court rulings, including the E. Jean Carroll appeal, mail-in ballots, and presidential firing authority, before diving into Trump's reactions and the fallout.Then we look at New York City's socialist movement, Zohran Mamdani, AOC, Dave Portnoy's surprising comments, and viral street interviews that have everyone talking.We also expose some of the week's most outrageous climate change claims—from Paris officials blaming America for Europe's heatwave to the latest social media posts attacking air conditioning and promoting climate "justice." Plus, we examine data, failed climate predictions, and why critics say the narrative continues to fall apart.Finally, we cover the latest effort to pin the world's problems on Elon Musk, Nick Kristof's viral claims, media reactions, and why the debate over USAID and government spending isn't going away anytime soon.Along the way, we also discuss DOJ investigations, Biden's latest comments, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Ryan McBeth's Iran fact check, Tyler Robinson, Caleb Hammer, and the biggest viral moments from the internet this week.SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TO SUPPORT OUR SHOW!Give $26 today to Human Coalition.

Second, NBC News correspondent Ryan Nobles corners Republican Senator Roger Marshall on Meet the Press over voter fraud claims, with Hawk noting that Republicans won the House, the Senate, the presidency, and effectively control the Supreme Court in 2024, making the left-rigs-elections argument impossible to sustain. Third, an Ohio pastor from the Springfield area shares a firsthand account of what Haitian immigrants have contributed to his community, and what the TPS ruling means for families who have been there for over a decade. Hawk also covers the current conditions in Haiti that made Temporary Protected Status necessary in the first place. Fourth, Steve Schmidt and Jim Acosta discuss Megyn Kelly's racist commentary about Haitian immigrants, with Hawk responding to her record and her history with Trump going back to the 2016 debate. Fifth, Fox News broadcasts live from Trump's America 250 celebration, which is scheduled for 16 days. The footage behind the reporter shows almost no one in attendance, prompting widespread mockery including from Ron Filipkowski, Hemant Mehta, and others.

A Capital Research Center investigation traced over $80M from Soros' Open Society Foundation to at least 54 groups engaged in crime or domestic terrorism in our country. These same organizers staged protests and created activism toolkits… encouraging illegal acts like property damage. How Soros used USAID to fund the chaos. Chip Roy says the Senate DOES in fact have the votes to pass the SAVE America Act but it is too lazy to show up at work to get it done.

Ralph speaks to economist Dean Baker about the hypocrisies behind the supposed Social Security shortfall and Republicans' "waste, fraud, and abuse" panic. Then, Ralph talks to journalist and ocean activist David Helvarg about his new book: Forest of the Sea: The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp.Dean Baker is a Senior Economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, where he authors “Beat the Press,” his regular commentary on economic reporting. He has written several books, including Getting Back to Full Employment: A Better Bargain for Working People, The End of Loser Liberalism: Making Markets Progressive, False Profits: Recovering from the Bubble Economy, and The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer.People will hear big numbers. They'll hear “$300 billion” and they'll go “Oh my God, that's a lot of money. That's money out of my pocket. It's causing the government deficit,” whatever. That's because they haven't given it any context…If we could, in any conceivable world, afford to pay $500 billion to increase the military budget, surely we can afford to pay $300 billion to ensure that everyone gets their Social Security benefits. It's just a case of: put it in context. I'm not going to say it's a small number. It isn't. But it's smaller— $300 billion is smaller than $500 billion, and that's really not a disputable point.Dean BakerWhere [DOGE] had the biggest consequences is with foreign aid. [Musk] just got a big kick out of that— USAID, he just shut it down. He boasted about that. He goes, “Last weekend I fed USAID into the wood chipper.” That's almost verbatim what he said. Now, what this meant was that you have people— and you could find waste in that program just like any other program, but this is a program that provided millions of people with medicine, with nutrition, with healthcare. And suddenly they couldn't get it…And Elon Musk was boasting that he killed that program. That's great. But millions of people, I mean, thankfully, I don't think it's millions yet, but if that program doesn't get restarted or funded somewhere else, you're going to see millions of people lose their lives.Dean BakerSo we're saying we have people on Medicaid that are committing fraud? No one gets a check from Medicaid. What would that even mean? Like, you signed up for Medicaid and you weren't eligible, so that would mean that they might be making a payment to a doctor or hospital that they don't actually have to make because you didn't qualify? I'm sure that happens sometimes but it's not like someone's living high on the hog because they were able to get Medicaid to pay for their doctor's visit when it actually shouldn't have.Dean BakerDavid Helvarg is a journalist and ocean activist. He is the founder and executive director of Blue Frontier, an ocean policy and media group, and producer of Rising Tide: The Ocean Podcast. He has produced more than 40 documentaries for media outlets, including PBS and the Discovery Channel. And he has written several books, including Blue Frontier, The War Against the Greens, and Forest of the Sea: The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp.I've been pushing with my colleagues in journalism the idea of the “blue beat.” The only resource in the ocean not fully exploited at this point is good investigative reporting and narrative storytelling. Because people don't connect with it, a lot of people think the environment ends at the shoreline. And that's really where 95% of the living space on the planet begins.David HelvargPeople at least know that corals are in trouble and they have some sense of what a coral reef is. People don't know that the planet has this other forest crisis—that kelp forests cover an area larger than the Amazon basin, and they're also being impacted by these marine heat waves that are growing every year. And as you add more heat to the system, it gets more energetic, which is why we have more and more extreme storms. I covered Katrina in 2005. I thought that would be a turning point (we had 1,800 people killed and a million environmental refugees). But the propaganda by the oil and gas industry is such that we keep having these disasters from a warming ocean planet, we see the melting of the Arctic ice, and instead of an alarm bell, it became a dinner bell for all the shipping industries and people who want to exploit the oil and gas in the increasingly open Arctic waters. So we're in this crisis point. I'm more frustrated than despairing because we know what the solutions are. It's creating the political will to enact them.David HelvargWhen I started Blue Frontier 20 years ago, the main threats were overfishing and pollution—oil, chemical, plastic, nutrient pollution. Today, that's being overwhelmed by these marine heat waves.David HelvargNews 6/26/26* Our top story this week comes to us from New York City, where democratic socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani has pulled off a stunning hat trick, with all three candidates for Congress endorsed by the Mayor winning their primaries on Tuesday. The most surprising victory is that of Darializa Avila Chevalier, who ousted the powerful incumbent Congressman Adriano Espaillat, head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in New York's 13th congressional district. This primary had turned ugly, with Espaillat's campaign seeking to weaponize anti-Haitian racism in the Dominican community against Avila Chevalier, per the Haitian Times, despite the fact that she is not in fact Haitian. Impressive in another way is the victory of UAW organizer and New York State Assemblywoman Claire Valdez in New York's 7th district. Much has been made of this race being a proxy battle between Mamdani and his onetime supporter, retiring Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, who backed her protégé, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso to succeed her in this seat. Reynoso enjoyed the support of a broad range of New York elected officials – including Velazquez along with New York Attorney General Letitia James, Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, and a broad range of unions and civil society groups, most notably the Working Families Party – but was absolutely trounced by Valdez, who won by over 20 points with the support of Mamdani and NYC-DSA. Meanwhile, in the 10th district, Brad Lander won by an even greater margin, outrunning incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman by over 30 points while running on a pro-Palestine platform in the most Jewish congressional district in America. These victories send a clear signal to the sclerotic, ossified leadership of the Democratic Party. The only question now is will they listen.* Beyond the congressional races, DSA won a remarkable number of races at the state level. According to Democratic Left, DSA will send as many as seven new legislators to Albany this cycle, for a total of “four state senators and 11 or 12 members of the state assembly.” As the magazine notes, this means that the “2027-2028 socialist bloc in Albany will be the second largest in a state legislature in U.S. history…behind 20 members in Wisconsin in 1919 and ahead of 14 members in Wisconsin in 1911.” Within New York City, DSA endorsed candidates won seven out of eight races for seats in the state legislature, per NYC-DSA. All told, it was a thunderous victory for the left in New York and raises the clout of Zohran and his compatriots to dizzying heights.* Meanwhile, in Washington DC, NOTUS reports the local DSA has exploded in membership, adding nearly 1,000 new members since this time last year. This growing bloc flexed its political muscle in the recent Democratic primaries, electing DSA members Janeese Lewis George for Mayor and Aparna Raj for the Ward 1 seat on the DC Council, as well as Oye Owolewa for an at-large seat. Axios notes that they are already eying, “two more openings — to fill Lewis George's Ward 4 seat and the at-large seat of Congress-bound Robert White.” If these votes go in DSA's favor, Lewis George could assume the mayoralty with a progressive majority of seven out of 13 members on the Council. Since her victory last Tuesday, Lewis George has emphasized her plan to lower utility costs through “expanding government solar,” and “balcony solar” for apartment tenants, optimizing efficiency at local government agencies and maximizing federal housing grants.* In Maryland, the results for DSA and progressives more generally were not quite so decisive but the left notched key victories nonetheless. DSA endorsed candidate McKayla Wilkes won her primary for the Charles County Commission and incumbent State Delegate Gabriel Acevero won reelection to his seat. Senators Dalya Attar and Nancy King, both centrist incumbents, lost to progressive challengers, per Maryland Matters. Will Jawando in Montgomery County won the County Executive position with broad support from the Maryland political establishment and progressives, while Maryland Senate Majority Leader Bill Ferguson fended off his first real challenge in years only after a last minute pledge to reverse his position on Maryland congressional redistricting. However, in the 5th congressional district, Steny Hoyer protégé and “AIPAC-backed” Adrian Boafo won the primary to succeed his mentor in Congress. According to the Jerusalem Post, “AIPAC poured $5.7 million into his campaign through its super PAC.” Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn came in a distant third place, despite scoring the endorsement of Nancy Pelosi. In short, the left has more work to do in order to build a political machine in Maryland as they have in New York and DC.* The next major contest between the factions of the party will occur next week in Colorado, where Melat Kiros, a DSA-backed progressive challenger born in 1997, is taking on Congresswoman Diana DeGette, who first took office that same year, per Zeteo. According to a poll conducted on behalf of the Kiros-aligned Justice Democrats, she leads DeGette by five points and she has now won the endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders. Senator and former Governor John Hickenlooper is also facing a progressive primary challenge from State Senator Julie Gonzales and, according to the polls, he holds but a single digit lead, the Coloradan reports. We will be watching both of these races closely.* Meanwhile in Congress, the Senate has passed a new resolution on Iran, this time directing Trump to “remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by Congress, other than to defend America, an ally or partner from ‘imminent attack,'” according to the Wall Street Journal. The Journal notes that while the resolution is nonbinding, it was previously passed by the House, marking “the first time both chambers of Congress have passed the same measure to curb” presidential power to wage war on the Islamic Republic. The resolution passed 50-48, with the support of Republican Senators Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul. Senators Mitch McConnell and Dave McCormick were absent, and Senator John Fetterman again broke ranks with the Democrats to vote no.* Turning from the Senate floor to the shop floor, the United Auto Workers (UAW) concluded their 39th Constitutional Convention last week, with a momentous vote to divest the union's investments from Israel bonds. UAW's divestment decision is the latest victory in the campaign to disentangle the finances of American organized labor from the state of Israel, following the United Electrical Workers (UE) in 2015 and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) in 2023. UAW members also heard from Abdul El-Sayed, the candidate the union has endorsed in the Michigan Senate race. This contentious campaign will not be over until August, but El-Sayed, occupying the progressive lane, has moved into the lead and appears to be consolidating his lead, winning the endorsement of Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen just this week, per the Traverse City Record-Eagle. Van Hollen himself has recently begun hinting that he may seek higher office, recently telling NOTUS that he is “kicking the tires” on a 2028 presidential bid.* Turning to foreign affairs, this week saw the fall of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer, a centrist who was elected Labour Party leader in 2020 following the ouster of leftist Jeremy Corbyn, has held the post of Prime Minister since 2024 when Labour won an historic landslide. Since then however, his personal approval rating and that of the party has cratered, creating space for the rise of the far-right Reform UK party. The BBC reports Starmer will remain in his post until a new leader is chosen from within the party, with the presumptive successor being MP Andy Burnham who recently beat back a challenge in his own seat by a Reform candidate by a large margin. Starmer is now set to be the shortest serving Labour PM in British history, while Burnham is set to become the UK's seventh Prime Minister in the last ten years, both indications of the precariousness of the post-Brexit British political order.* Our final two stories come to us from Latin America. First, in Bolivia, the country's union confederation has maintained a general strike against the right-wing government of Rodrigo Paz for nearly two months over his administration's initiatives to privatize government services and rescind the land reform program instituted over the last several decades of rule by the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS). On June 19th, journalist Ollie Vargas reported that the government had blinked and signed an agreement to withdraw these plans in exchange for the unions ending the general strike. However, Vargas notes that “most affiliated unions state that they want to maintain strike until [the Paz government] resigns.”* Finally, in Colombia, the right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella emerged victorious from Sunday's runoff presidential election, defeating leftist Ivan Cepeda, the handpicked successor of sitting President Gustavo Petro, by less than one percentage point. In the immediate wake of the election, President Petro “alleged that Israel interfered” in the election, citing “irregularities in the country's vote counting process and calling for a full audit and recount,” per Drop Site News. However, by Wednesday, Cepeda himself formally conceded, framing his decision to do so as “an act of democratic responsibility, to contribute to harmony, peace and dialogue among Colombians,” Al Jazeera reports. As one of his first acts, Abelardo de la Espriella has committed to reestablishing diplomatic relations with Israel, which had been severed under President Petro.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Politicians keep blaming "greed" for prices. Somehow, their solution is always more control. In this Dumb Bleep of the Week, Nate and Chuck break down Mamdani's New York rent freeze, Bernie Sanders attacking Apple over price hikes, and why "corporate greed" is a lazy substitute for understanding supply, demand, taxes, and incentives. They also hit Republicans suddenly warning about socialism while backing government ownership stakes, Trump blaming gas prices on oil company gouging, Ro Khanna threatening Elon Musk with investigations over USAID cuts, and the fixed pie fallacy behind the Monopoly argument against capitalism.

Air Date: 6/24/2026 The Monthly-ish Mix™ is here to get you caught up on recent news without being overwhelming! If you've been pulling back from the news for your own sanity, this one's built for you — a quick recap and reference guide to the past month or two, organized around a single idea: when power can't earn legitimacy, it manufactures it. The performance. Spectacle, religion, and health branding standing in for real consent: Trump collecting a FIFA "peace prize," Christian nationalism worn as a costume the actual church refuses to bless, and RFK Jr. dressing up a gutted vaccine agenda as "moderate," scapegoating immigrants as he goes, while the USAID cuts run up a body count. The machinery. The infrastructure that keeps the performance going while real consent drains away underneath: a legal system bent toward self-dealing and a $1.8 billion slush fund, billionaire money rewriting the rules since Citizens United, an AI gold rush sold as inevitable before anyone voted on it, and an economy booming on paper while the ground shifts under everyone's feet. The vacuum and the reclaiming. What rushes in when legitimacy collapses, from normalized political violence to a manifesto born of that collapse — and then the democratic answer: why the rupture hasn't come, why revolutions tend to devour themselves, and why the slower work wins. Nonviolent movements draw eleven times the participation, and the ballot box the Supreme Court is fighting hardest to narrow is the same one that just turned out 78% of Hungary to remove Orbán.

In this episode, Drew, Tom, and Ryan dig into the leftward lurch of the Democratic Party, unpacking the DSA wave behind Mamdani's New York sweep and what it means when self-described communists start winning the safest Democratic seats in the country. The conversation traces how populism is fueled by economic anxiety, why both parties keep racing to the extremes, and whether finding the way back to the middle is even possible anymore. From there, they get into the hard economics: why socialist and communist policies historically break the economy, the calorie-storage origin of the social contract, the freeloader problem that sinks societies, and the real fight over wages, corporations, and whether companies like Walmart and Amazon are the villains people think they are. They take on Trump's threat to sic the DOJ on big oil for price gouging, why government price controls always fail, and how the OPEC cartel and regulatory capture are the actual problems behind what you pay at the pump. The discussion turns global with a hard look at USAID, the claim that foreign aid has been quietly funding NGOs and destabilization movements abroad, Japan dumping US treasuries amid its liquidity crisis, and the financial repression playbook Washington may use to inflate its way out of a crushing national debt. They weigh in on Congress voting to curb hostilities with Iran and what it means for negotiating power. Finally, the episode goes deep on one of the most important debates of the next decade: a Michigan city council banning the pride flag, Muslim immigration and assimilation, whether Islam has had its reformation, separation of church and state, and the candid clash over whether America is truly a Christian nation or simply shaped by Christian values. Whether you're here for sharp political analysis, hard economic truth, or a deeper look at the values shaping society, this episode offers a nuanced, unflinching take on how today's choices will define tomorrow.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tonight, Christopher Knowles ( https://linktr.ee/secretsunblog ) returns to Quite Frankly for a conversation about narratives, memory, and the strange gap between reality and the stories we're told. From World Cup visitors discovering an America that doesn't match decades of media portrayals, to reports of classic television shows being quietly altered for streaming platforms, to the rise of liminal-space horror and questions surrounding political authenticity in a post-USAID world—we'll explore what happens when lived experience collides with curated reality. Is the truth becoming harder to suppress, or are we simply noticing the edits?

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Mel K about her book Infiltration Instead Of Invasion. Mel argues that America was not conquered by a traditional invasion, but infiltrated through finance, intelligence, international institutions, NGOs, academia, and the post World War II global architecture. They discuss JFK's warning, the Federal Reserve, the Dulles brothers, the CIA, the Bank of International Settlements, Bretton Woods, USAID, NATO, the UN, Trump, sovereignty, and the future of freedom.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World
Tommy and Ben are back with a week of bad deals, high-stakes elections, and World Cup joy.The US and Iran have agreed to a deal to end the war, but the Trump administration has refused to release the text to anyone — so the guys parse through what we think we know. The short version: it's a pretty good deal for Iran that meets almost none of the goals Trump set out before the war started, and the nuclear issue hasn't even been touched yet. Then the guys question if Netanyahu will do something to torpedo the whole thing with his continued war against Lebanon. In England, a special election could reshape British politics and set up a direct challenge to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Meanwhile, a spate of developments across England, Italy, France, and Switzerland signal increasing growth for far-right movements in Europe. In Trump world, there's both good and very bad news: Trump backed down on installing Bill Pulte as Director of National Intelligence after bipartisan pushback, and the dismantling of USAID continues to have devastating real-world consequences. And finally, with the World Cup in full swing, Tommy and Ben take a moment to enjoy the fans, from Scots drinking their way across, to Mexican and Korean fans bonding over tequila, and Nigerian fans flying all the way to Mexico just to root against South Africa. At the end of the show, Tommy speaks to CNN's Senior International Correspondent Frederik Pleitgen, about what he saw and heard on his latest reporting trip on the ground in Iran.Buy Ben's book All We Say: The Battle for American Identity: A History in 15 Speeches and subscribe to his Substack here.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
