This episode is presented by Create A Video – Graham Platner has so many scandals now surrounding his campaign for US Senate in Maine that it's difficult to list them all. And now he's got another one. According to multiple news organizations, Platner was sexting with a half dozen women on the Kik app and that Platner's wife discovered the messages in 2025 and told the campaign staff. They did not think it posed a political threat to Platner's run... which may have been wrong.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com

Send us Fan MailThe ballot gets crowded fast, but our decision-making stays simple: we vote from conviction, not vibes. Dr. Robert Jackson sits down with his daughter, Hannah Miller, to share our South Carolina primary election endorsements and the standards we use when friends call asking, “Who do I vote for?” We do not claim you must vote our way, but we do believe clarity helps, especially when candidates sound similar until you look at what they actually commit to.We start with the issue we treat as the non-negotiable foundation for every race: pro-life policy and the sanctity of life. We explain why that is not a shallow “single issue” approach, and why leaders who stand firm there often show the same backbone on budgets, corruption, and cultural pressure. From the governor's race to the attorney general contest and the US Senate matchup, we talk through specific signals we watch for, including the Equal Protection pledge, support for Senate 1095, and whether someone is willing to take heat without hiding behind softer language.We also bring the conversation home to Spartanburg County politics, including the county council chair race and the fallout from the data center fight. We discuss why many residents feel unheard, how local power networks shape decisions, and what accountability should look like when hundreds of people show up asking questions.If you want a values-driven South Carolina voter guide rooted in biblical principles, listen through and weigh our reasoning.

Send us Fan MailLindsey Graham gets booed in his own backyard and a challenger steps forward with a very different pitch. We sit down with Mark Lynch, a Greenville business owner, church deacon, and longtime grassroots organiser, to hear why he's running for the US Senate in South Carolina and why he thinks the upstate is ready to replace a career incumbent. Along the way, we talk candidly about faith, family, and the cost of standing in the fire once national money and attack ads show up.We dig into the issue that matters most to us: pro life conviction with equal protection under the law. Mark lays out why he believes life begins at conception, why “15 weeks” still leaves room for injustice, and why laws should protect the unborn the same way they protect the born. We also wrestle with endorsements, asking how major pro life organisations can support candidates who accept later abortion limits. If you care about pro life legislation, Christian conservative politics, or how values translate into votes, this part will challenge you.Then we shift to the mechanics of power: grassroots organising, prayer teams, Trump's endorsement decisions, and why a constitutional voting record matters more than campaign branding. Mark also responds to drug related smear ads by clarifying his stance on controlled substances and sharing a personal addiction recovery testimony that reframes his past as redemption rather than scandal. We close with a practical push for South Carolina's open primary, how to help, and where listeners can get involved.Subscribe for more conversations at the intersection of faith, culture, and public life, share this with a friend in South Carolina, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Send us Fan MailTogetherness is not a warm slogan, it's the only way we meet the scale of what's in front of us. From the start, we press on a simple question: how do you remember the past honestly without letting it turn into bitterness? In this episode, Bishop Wright has a conversation with Senator Jon Ossoff about faith, leadership, and what it takes to build a better world when the headlines feel like a steady stream of bad news. Ossoff traces his moral education through the legacy of Congressman John Lewis and the civil rights movement in Georgia, including the historic alliance between Black and Jewish communities in the South. He shares the powerful symbolism of being sworn into the US Senate on scripture belonging to Rabbi Jacob Rothschild, the Atlanta rabbi whose temple was bombed in 1958 for supporting Dr. King and the SCLC. They discuss what interfaith coalition building looks like when it's real, not performative, and why serious faith traditions should pull us alongside each other when the stakes are high. Listen in for the full conversation. Born and raised in Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff serves as our Senior United States Senator. Since his election, Sen. Ossoff has built bipartisanship in the Senate to achieve meaningful legislative results for Georgia — even in a divided Congress. In his first two years in office, Sen. Ossoff passed into law more standalone bills than any other freshman Senator. Sen. Ossoff's legislative achievements include laws to protect children online; to strengthen public safety; to tackle the opioid epidemic and prevent fentanyl trafficking across the Southern Border; to investigate unsolved lynchings and Civil Rights murders; to strengthen mental health care services for veterans; and to fight corruption and improve security in U.S. prisons. Mentored by civil rights legend Congressman John Lewis, Sen. Ossoff previously led a small business that produced investigative journalism exposing war crimes, public corruption, human trafficking, and organized crime. Sen. Ossoff lives with his wife, Dr. Alisha Kramer, and two daughters in Atlanta.Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.

This week on the Scott Jennings Show, we're diving into the latest news on Capitol Hill, where the US Senate abruptly adjourned for its Memorial Day recess without passing a reconciliation bill needed to fund US immigration enforcement. The Senate was blown up over a proposed $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who were unfairly targeted by the federal government. The fund is a response to the government's weaponization against Donald Trump, but some Republicans have concerns about its implementation.The episode also covers the debate over daylight saving time, with President Trump backing a renewed push to make it permanent nationwide. Democrats have also been in the spotlight for abandoning a national women's museum project after adding language that defined the museum as showcasing only biological women. The conversation also touches on the importance of Memorial Day and the sacrifices made by soldiers who gave their lives for their country.The Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, joins the show to discuss the Trump administration's efforts to stabilize the farm economy and lower fertilizer prices. She explains how the administration is working to bring production of fertilizer back into the US through projects like the Blue Point Project, a $3.7 billion ammonia plan in Louisiana. The conversation also covers the beef industry and the impact of high fertilizer prices on farmers.The episode wraps up with a discussion on the latest news and analysis from the world of politics, including the resignation of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the upcoming runoff election in Georgia. The conversation also touches on the Democratic National Committee's autopsy report and the latest developments in the world of politics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Food is a national security issue and passing an updated farm bill is of critical importance to both farmers and consumers, especially the food insecure. Rodger Wasson visits with Congressman Jim Costa, a leading member of the House of Representatives Agriculture committee, who voted for advancing the long overdue ‘work in progress” to the US Senate. Rodger Wasson and Congressman Costa discuss agriculture policy and Congressman Costa explains the importance of the Farm Bill as America’s food safety net, noting that despite challenges in agriculture, American farmers now produce more food with less than 5% of the population working in agriculture compared to 40% employed in Ag 126 years ago. The conversation covered concerns about Proposition 12 animal confinement standards potentially being eliminated in the Farm Bill, the need for labor reform affecting the estimated 70% undocumented workforce in California agriculture, and the impact of trade wars on agricultural markets. Congressman Costa emphasizesthe need for bipartisanship in passing the Farm Bill and expresseds optimism about American agriculture’s ability to adapt and innovate despite current challenges.

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 449 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we examine one of the defining turning points of his career — his election as Senate Republican Leader.After years of legislative battles, committee leadership, presidential campaigns, and political setbacks, Dole rose to one of the most powerful positions in Washington: leader of the Republicans in the United States Senate.But what exactly makes a Senate leader?This episode explores not only how Dole secured the position, but what leadership inside the Senate truly required during an era of intense political change. More than a title, Senate leadership demanded strategy, negotiation, discipline, coalition-building, and the ability to manage competing personalities and priorities within the Republican conference.In this episode, we explore:• The political circumstances surrounding Dole's rise to leadership • The internal dynamics of the Senate Republican caucus • How Dole earned the trust and support of fellow senators • The leadership qualities that defined his approach • The challenges of balancing ideology, governance, and party unityAs Republican Leader, Dole became more than a senator from Kansas — he became one of the central figures in national politics and a key architect of Senate Republican strategy during the Reagan era and beyond.This episode marks the beginning of a new chapter:From legislator… to strategist… to leader.And in the process, we begin to see the qualities that made Bob Dole one of the most consequential Senate leaders of his generation.

The AP's Jennifer King reports on primary elections in Alabama.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Ed Gallrein, President Trump's hand-picked candidate, defeated Thomas Massie in a congressional primary in Northern Kentucky. Gallrein's victory is seen as a sign of Trump's grip over his base in solid Republican states, despite national surveys showing the broader electorate souring on the president's handling of issues. The primary was one of the most expensive on record, with nearly $33 million spent.2) President Trump threatened to resume strikes on Iran in the coming days as part of the push for a deal to end the war. The Republican-led US Senate signaled opposition to continuing the war with a procedural vote on Tuesday evening that reflected deepening unease over a foreign conflict. Vice President JD Vance projected a slightly more positive tone on the negotiations, saying "we think that we've made a lot of progress, we think the Iranians want to make a deal," but also threatened a resumption of strikes.3) Talks between Samsung and its largest labor union broke down, raising the prospect of a strike that may disrupt global chip supply and hamper Korean economic growth. A general work stoppage will go ahead after Samsung’s management rejected a proposal from government mediators that had been accepted by the union, according to labor leader Choi Seung-ho. The collapse in negotiations puts the global technology supply chain at risk because Samsung is the world’s biggest supplier of chips that go into devices from data center servers to smartphones and electric vehicles.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Senator Mark Kelly joins the Hometown Holler to talk about space, war, and what it's like to have the president call for your execution.Arguably the most interesting member of the US Senate, Kelly has been to space four times and flown combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait. Recently, President Trump called for his execution after Kelly made a video reminding service members they don't have to follow illegal orders. We discuss the war with Iran, the president's threats, his ongoing court battle over his military rank and pension, the ICE detention of a service member's spouse, and how he handles all the stress that comes with the job—at age 62, he's on track to complete 20,000 push-ups this year.Mark Kelly is the senior U.S. Senator from Arizona, first elected in 2020. He sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Intelligence Committee. He is the husband of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.Join the Holler and become a sustainer today!

In this episode of Token Narratives, Graham Stone and Alex Richardson break down two of the biggest crypto stories right now: Circle's new blockchain and token launch, and the high-stakes Clarity Act markup in the US Senate.They start with the market backdrop: Bitcoin losing $80K support, debate over whether this is just another relief rally, and the growing split between bullish and bearish macro takes. The conversation covers Dave the Wave, Benjamin Cowen, long-term holder stress, and why this cycle may still be young even if the drawdown has felt relatively mild.The episode then dives deep into Circle's ARK chain and token. Graham and Alex unpack what ARK is supposed to do, why Circle is building a stablecoin-native financial chain, how the token is structured, and whether this is a real infrastructure play or just another corporate token money grab. They also debate whether Circle's positioning, partners, and regulatory tailwinds give it a serious shot at becoming a major on-chain financial layer.Finally, they get into the Clarity Act markup: what the bill does, why the banking lobby is panicking about stablecoin yield, why developer protections matter so much, and how this legislation could shape the next phase of crypto regulation in the US. It's a wide-ranging conversation on Bitcoin, stablecoins, RWAs, policy, and the narratives that could define the next cycle.00:55 - Welcome to Token Narratives Episode 10101:29 - Market Overview and Analysis02:59 - CPI and Consumer Sentiment03:57 - Geopolitical Impacts on Markets04:28 - Bitcoin Market Analysis05:34 - Long-term Market Predictions06:59 - Ray Dalio's Bitcoin Analysis08:18 - Discussion on Stablecoins and Yields10:18 - Introduction to Circle's New Token, ARK13:16 - ARK Token Analysis16:58 - Future of Circle's Blockchain20:11 - Discussion on Token Utility25:19 - Conclusion on Circle's Strategy26:30 - Clarity Act Markup Discussion37:21 - Closing Remarks

Tommy and Ben survey the wreckage of another week in global politics. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer clings to power after Labour was crushed in local elections. Tommy and Ben debate whether Starmer should step aside or stay and fight. Then they run through the latest with Iran, from the short-lived “Project Freedom” to why Trump says the ceasefire is on “life support.” They recap Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's softball interview on CBS's 60 Minutes, including Netanyahu's claim that Israel is ready to wean itself off US military support and that social media is to blame for Israel's tattered image. They preview Trump's visit to Beijing for his long-delayed summit with Xi Jinping, mock some recent fawning coverage of Marco Rubio, and recap FBI Director Kash Patel's grilling about his drinking habits by the US Senate. Finally, Ben talks with journalist Suzy Hansen about her new book, From Life Itself: Turkey, Istanbul, and a Neighborhood in the Age of Erdogan.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Army Cuts Training - Short Billions of Dollars From Iran and Border. Producer Prices Jump 6%. Dem Wins Nebraska Senate Primary-Will Drop Out to Support Independent Dan Osborn. Jason Collins, RIP.  China is having a very good week. Trump landed in Beijing after a True Social tirade calling Barack Obama "the most demonic force in American politics," the Pentagon is asking for $1.5 trillion with no accountability, and new classified intel shows Iran has regained operational access to 30 of 33 missile sites around the Strait of Hormuz. The forever-war machine that was supposed to be "fast and easy" is now a sucking chest wound — bleeding the Army of $4-6 billion in training dollars, driving diesel up 13%, and handing Xi Jinping leverage he didn't have to earn. Paul Rieckhoff lays out the morning briefing with no-BS clarity, then rides into a conversation with the kind of leader the angry middle has been waiting for. Our Meet the Independent Candidates Series continues as Brian Bengs returns — the Navy and Air Force veteran, former Air Force Academy law professor, and independent candidate for U.S. Senate in South Dakota — joins from the trailer outside the house he's still trying to finish. He talks about the cowboy code, the Bushido code, and why every public servant needs a creed. He breaks down why Mike Rounds' refusal to do his constitutional job on the Iran war is a systemic failure, why 98% of Rounds' money comes from corporate PACs while Bengs runs on small-dollar donors, and why the path is suddenly clearer for independent veterans like Dan Osborn in Nebraska and Bengs in South Dakota. This is what the rising independent veteran cavalry actually looks like — boots on the ground, talking to neighbors at the gas pump, riding for the brand of regular Americans. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Check out Brian's campaign and support him here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.
