Ohio's 7th Congressional District was rated Solid Republican. It is not anymore. This week the Purple Political Breakdown Ohio Edition covers the race almost nobody outside Ohio was watching, and the reasons it moved. Congressman Max Miller is facing domestic abuse allegations from his former wife, Emily Moreno, who is the daughter of Republican Senator Bernie Moreno. Miller denies the allegations and has filed a defamation suit. No charges were filed in the police matter that made the records public. Those are allegations, they are not findings, and this episode labels them that way while covering the documented court record and the measurable political effect on a district Donald Trump carried by eleven points. Also in this episode: Ohio counties sold record amounts of residents delinquent property tax debt to investors who can collect at up to eighteen percent interest, and a bipartisan bill to stop it. The two billion dollars in state and local sales tax exemptions that went to data center operators in a single year, and why Ohio lawmakers walked away from the vote to change it. Where Amy Acton and Vivek Ramaswamy actually stand on data centers and property taxes. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur voting yes on HR 2616 and the backlash from her own base. Temporary protected status ending for Haitians and what it means for the Clark County workforce. And the two Ohio Supreme Court seats on your November ballot that will get almost no advertising and will outlast the next governor. Segments include Statehouse Watch, District Watch on Ohio 9, County of the Week on Clark County, the deep dive on Ohio 7, and Research on a Dime on the Ohio Supreme Court.

Joanna Coles and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty break down another extraordinary week in politics, from Donald Trump's unsettling appearance at Lindsey Graham's funeral to the growing mystery surrounding Mitch McConnell's health and the unanswered questions surrounding the photos released by his office. They explain why the silence from Republican leaders has only fueled speculation, what McConnell's absence could mean for the balance of power in the Senate, and why Trump has every incentive to avoid the story. Plus, they look at Vivek Ramaswamy's surprising political troubles in Ohio, the domestic abuse allegations engulfing Rep. Max Miller, and the political battles that could reshape the 2026 midterms.

In this explosive episode, Joe Oltmann dissects the narrative machinery driving modern political optics, starting with Kash Patel's claims of falling national crime rates, sweeping border deportations, and the lingering, unanswered demands for full transparency surrounding the Epstein files. Moving past Washington headlines, Oltmann contrasts government statistics against raw, local realities, spotlighting troubling power dynamics in Colorado involving key figures like David Beller, Shelley Gilman, and former lawmaker Melissa Hart. The broadcast sets an uncompromising tone, examining how the powerful navigate accountability while everyday citizens bear the brunt of an increasingly selective justice system.The deep dive continues with featured guest Peter Bernegger, Founder and President of Election Watch, Inc. Bernegger details his federal legal battles against Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold and state election authorities, exposing what he describes as a rigged administrative apparatus designed to shield officials from scrutiny. Through an insider breakdown of evidentiary ambushes, private investigations, and subordinate administrative judges, Bernegger lays out his crusade for constitutional rights and independent oversight. His analysis extends to the broader battleground of federal executive orders and mail-in ballot rulings, issuing a stark warning to national leaders on the systemic vulnerabilities eroding public trust.Rounding out the broadcast, the show turns its focus to globalist agendas and systemic congressional inaction. Highlighting Representative Thomas Massie's exposure of D.C.'s October legislative recess, the show targets the "Uniparty" playbook that leaves critical issues unaddressed while elected officials step away from the podium. Backed by revealing clips from Dr. Paul Thomas, the World Economic Forum, and Vivek Ramaswamy, this episode delivers a scathing look at how institutional cartels preserve their authority at all costs—making this a must-watch broadcast for anyone ready to look behind the headlines.

Matt examines the widely shared reports of a migrant surge into Spain and asks how mass movements and media narratives become coordinated. He then turns to Vivek Ramaswamy, data centers, his automated podcast workflow, Anthropic's reported destruction of scanned books, and the tradeoffs between closed American AI systems and open-weight Chinese models. The episode closes on surveillance, privacy, pattern recognition, and the uneasy balance between technological convenience and independence.## TIMESTAMPS00:01:03 Who Organized Spain's Migrant Surge?00:08:19 Vivek Ramaswamy, Booed and Out of Touch00:12:55 Data Centers and the AI Podcast Factory00:16:15 When AI Digitizes—and Destroys—Books00:19:12 Closed American AI vs. Open Chinese Models00:25:52 The Selective Panic Over Chinese Surveillance00:27:37 Privacy, Pattern Recognition, and the Next Crisis

East Cleveland officials are refusing to disclose how many police officers the city employs after denying social media claims that the department has only four active patrol officers and a single detective. Ideastream Public Media reports outside estimates put the department at about six active-duty patrol officers, while the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office is providing supplemental patrols at the mayor's request. The staffing questions come as the city continues to recover from officer indictments and financial turmoil. With Temporary Protected Status for Haitians now expired, thousands of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio face uncertainty as legal challenges continue over whether they can remain and work in the U.S. Gov. Mike DeWine said Wednesday he has not been informed of any plans for Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Ohio. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton is calling for a conditional moratorium on new data centers unless developers meet requirements including using union labor, meeting environmental standards and covering their own utility costs. Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy supports expanding data centers while emphasizing self-supplied energy. The issue is likely to remain a focus of the governor's race as Ohio weighs the economic benefits of data centers against concerns about energy demand and local impacts. County fairs in Summit and Cuyahoga counties are increasing security this year following the 2025 shooting of a 17-year-old in the Summit County Fair parking lot. Officials say the changes include more law enforcement officers, enhanced screening, visible and plainclothes patrols, and closer coordination among local and state agencies. We will discuss these stories and more news of the week on the “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable.” Guests: - Matthew Richmond, Reporter, Ideastream Public Media - Michelle Jarboe, Reporter, News 5 Cleveland, WEWS - Karen Kasler, Bureau Chief, Ideastream Statehouse News Bureau

Ohio's governor race just got a new label. Cook Political Report moved Ramaswamy vs. Acton from Lean Republican to Toss Up, and Ohio's largest police union broke decades of habit to endorse a full Republican statewide ticket for the first time in recent memory. This episode covers both, plus the ten Ohio House seats that could decide whether Republicans keep veto proof control of Columbus. In this episode: the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio endorses Vivek Ramaswamy, Jon Husted, and Keith Faber for Attorney General, its first Republican AG endorsement in twenty years. Statehouse Watch covers the Ohio EPA's reversal on data center wastewater permits and the ten House Republican seats Democrats are targeting to break the sixty seat supermajority.

County of the Week looks at Summit County's House Districts 31 and 35.

Plus: the billionaire money behind Ramaswamy's super PAC, Victors Not Victims, which has raised thirty seven million dollars from a small group of billionaire donors, more than eighty eight percent of its total funding.

Ohio's race for governor is bringing competing visions for property tax relief into focus. Democratic candidate Dr. Amy Acton is proposing targeted relief for homeowners, including expanding the homestead exemption and creating an income-based property tax cap. Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has called for dramatically reducing property taxes and has previously supported eliminating them altogether. The Ohio EPA has abandoned a proposed statewide permit that would have allowed data centers to discharge wastewater under a single set of rules. Instead, the agency will require each facility to obtain an individual permit with a project-specific environmental review. The decision came after the agency received thousands of public comments raising concerns about potential impacts on Ohio waterways. An investigation published this week by Mother Jones details allegations against U.S. Rep. Max Miller involving claims of domestic violence, drug use and threats. Miller, who is campaigning for reelection, has denied wrongdoing and challenged many of the allegations in court, while some related investigations remain ongoing. Akron's Northside Marketplace will permanently close July 31 after its owners said mounting debt and financial challenges made the business unsustainable. The closure leaves more than 100 vendors searching for new locations. One vendor is encouraging others to sell their products at a similar store, The Mercantile Akron, which is expected to open soon downtown. Wednesday marked the 230th anniversary of Cleveland's founding on July 22, 1796. Events across the city are celebrating Cleveland's history, neighborhoods and cultural legacy. We will discuss these stories and more news of the week on the "Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable."

Health care is among the affordability issues on Ohioans' minds.Last week came news that the state saw the largest decline in Affordable Care Act enrollment in the country.Campaign donations and endorsements are rolling in for Ohio's two candidates for governor: GOP hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy got a $5 million check from trillionaire Elon Musk.Challenger Amy Acton notches her own historic haul as a Democrat.While in Washington, one Ohio senator seeks to punish Canada for the wildfire smoke that blew our way.And there's a move to make daylight savings time permanent.We're talking about all of these topic during a special Tuesday edition of the Weekly Reporter Roundtable.Guests:Jessie Balmert, state government and politics reporter, Columbus Dispatch Andrew Tobias, state government and politics reporter, Signal OhioSabrina Eaton, Washington bureau, Cleveland.com(photo: Rebecca Blackwell / AP)

Canadian wildfire smoke prompted an air quality advisory across Ohio on Thursday, with Northeast Ohio reaching hazardous air quality levels. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency urged everyone, but especially those with heart or lung conditions, children, older adults and pregnant women, to stay indoors. The health effects of breathing in wildfire smoke may include asthma attack, chest pains, coughing, headaches, runny nose, stinging eyes, wheezing and shortness of breath. Cleveland has extended its contract with Flock Safety's license plate reader cameras for six months. The contract extension was shortened from one year and includes new privacy protections that prohibits outside access to data collected by the cameras without a warrant. Cleveland's contract with Flock began in 2023 and includes about 100 cameras at locations around the city. CrimeRadar, an app that uses artificial intelligence to track potential criminal activity, falsely reported an active shooter at the University of Akron on Tuesday. Akron police confirmed there was no shooting. In December, the app also falsely reported a shooting at a Streetsboro elementary school. Republican candidate for governor, Vivek Ramaswamy, received the endorsement of the state's largest business lobbying group, the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. The group has only backed Republicans for governor in the 16 years that it's been endorsing candidates for that office. In his announcement, Ramaswamy said he plans to eliminate Ohio's income tax and the tax on capital gains. A memo from legislative researchers obtained by the Statehouse News Bureau in April showed more than 55% of the benefit would go to those making over $1 million a year. And the U.S. House of Representatives has voted to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. The measure, named the "Sunshine Protection Act," now heads to the Senate.

Ohio just landed at number one on CNBC's 2026 list of the best states for business, the first time it has ever finished first. In this Ohio Edition of the Purple Political Breakdown, Radell Lewis follows the money and the power lines behind that ranking, and breaks down who is actually on your 2026 ballot in Ohio's 11th and 12th Congressional Districts. We get into Elon Musk's five million dollar check to V PAC: Victors, Not Victims, the super PAC backing Vivek Ramaswamy, and the billionaire donors behind its nearly forty two million dollar haul (Jeff Yass, Ratmir Timashev, Bill Ackman, and Ross Stevens). Plus Ramaswamy's twenty five million dollar loan to his own campaign, the Secretary of State flag on more than five hundred thousand dollars in unitemized spending, Amy Acton's small-dollar contrast, and Sherrod Brown breaking with the building trades to hit Jon Husted over data centers in the Senate race. Statehouse Watch covers the three hundred fourteen million dollars Ohio has made leasing public land to fracking, the new college syllabus rules under Senate Bill 1, the Medicaid anti-fraud law Senate Bill 315, and the Rooster case, where blogger D.J. Byrnes faces an October jury trial over an image texted to State Senator Jerry Cirino. County of the Week is Allen County and Lima, where Google's five hundred million dollar data center has neighbors up in arms. District Watch, so you know who you are voting for: Ohio 11 (Cleveland): incumbent Democrat Shontel Brown versus Republican Mike Kirchner, with independent Cortney Peterson also on the ballot. Ohio 12 (central and eastern Ohio): incumbent Republican Troy Balderson versus Democrat Jerrad Christian, a 2024 rematch.

Chuck Todd delivers a sweeping, big-picture meditation on the Trump era and where it's ultimately headed, arguing that despite the widespread conviction that Trump is teflon and that nothing will ever take him down, his presidency will end not with a bang but a whimper — and history won't remember it well. He predicts that a century from now Trump will be remembered somewhere between Grover Cleveland and Richard Nixon, and that his act, like every previous iteration of Trump, will eventually wear out its welcome with the public — because it always has, and he's already entered some version of lame-duck territory. The heart of the episode is Chuck’s astonishment at Trump's financial disclosure, which he calls a brazen catalog of impeachable offenses. His sharpest line reframes Trump's entire brand: he doesn't actually "own the libs" — he owns the people who send him money, and he's utterly oblivious to the plight of anyone who isn't rich. He closes on a genuinely searching note — observing that Trump is visibly aging and less sharp, that the country is tired of him and it's starting to show, that his single greatest fear is exposure and ridicule, and that he's proving to be nothing more than a grifter. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the admission of several western states into the union and how it built the modern senate. He also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment. Refresh your wardrobe with Quince. Go to https://Quince.com/chuck for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.

Chuck Todd delivers a sweeping, big-picture meditation on the Trump era and where it's ultimately headed, arguing that despite the widespread conviction that Trump is teflon and that nothing will ever take him down, his presidency will end not with a bang but a whimper — and history won't remember it well. He predicts that a century from now Trump will be remembered somewhere between Grover Cleveland and Richard Nixon, and that his act, like every previous iteration of Trump, will eventually wear out its welcome with the public — because it always has, and he's already entered some version of lame-duck territory. The heart of the episode is Chuck’s astonishment at Trump's financial disclosure, which he calls a brazen catalog of impeachable offenses. His sharpest line reframes Trump's entire brand: he doesn't actually "own the libs" — he owns the people who send him money, and he's utterly oblivious to the plight of anyone who isn't rich. He closes on a genuinely searching note — observing that Trump is visibly aging and less sharp, that the country is tired of him and it's starting to show, that his single greatest fear is exposure and ridicule, and that he's proving to be nothing more than a grifter. Then, Carolyn Ryan — deputy managing editor of The New York Times — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a candid conversation about the state of American journalism at a moment when the Times has become, as Ryan puts it, one of the last big independent organizations left in news. Ryan makes the case that serious journalism has become almost impossible without the resources the Times can still muster — deep-dive reporting requires enormous time, the best legal team in the business to withstand the threats and lawsuits now routinely aimed at the press, and an ownership structure insulated from market pressure. She's blunt about the difference the Ochs-Sulzberger family makes: newsrooms owned by publicly traded companies inevitably change their behavior to satisfy shareholders, while the family that controls the Times is, in her words, "ride or die" for journalism — a distinction that has never mattered more than it does now, even as she praises the excellent nonprofit newsrooms springing up around the country. Ryan explains how the Times is building regional reporting hubs and investing heavily in places like Texas on the theory that a truly national news organization needs a journalist in every state, why book reporting from stars like Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan often lands with more impact and candor than day-to-day breaking news, and how the paper decides which reporters get the coveted book leave that produces those deeper stories. The conversation gets into the harder editorial questions facing the Times in the Trump era. Ryan discusses the paper's major investment in a more rigorous polling and data operation , its aggressive push into video to reach younger audiences, and the perennial tension over whether there should be a brighter line between the newsroom and the opinion page — a separation the Times has tried to clarify through design changes and by being more transparent about its process. Ryan is thoughtful about one of the thorniest challenges in modern journalism: how to handle the obvious lies told by Trump and other political figures, explaining that to actually call something a "lie" you have to establish intent, that the audience cares enormously about how things are described, and that the language should always be direct and forthright without tipping into hysteria. She closes with a sharp critique of the Pentagon kicking out reporters and banning contact with unauthorized military members — a policy she argues is not only unconstitutional but a direct threat to the journalism that keeps the public informed about how its military actually operates.

Post Malone Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Post Malone has spent the past few days doing exactly what defines this latest chapter of his biography: being a touring workhorse, a cross‑genre ambassador, and a surprisingly low‑drama superstar whose biggest stories are now about scale, not scandal. Recent social posts and fan videos from his current Big Ass Stadium Tour: Part 2 show him continuing a run of packed festival and stadium dates, including his high‑profile slot at Gulf Coast Jam 2026, where audio company L‑Acoustics highlighted Post as one of the marquee headliners in a production-focused Instagram reel, underscoring how he is now treated as core festival infrastructure rather than just a guest attraction, a long‑term status shift for his career trajectory according to L‑Acoustics on Instagram. At the same time, there is a contrasting narrative around the tour's business performance. BroBible reports that Post Malone's team has been aggressively “papering” shows on the stadium run, giving away large numbers of tickets to fill empty seats and combat what the outlet describes as “Blue Dot Fever” on Ticketmaster, with unsold inventory lingering on multiple dates. BroBible frames this as evidence of soft demand for the tour's second leg, which could be biographically significant as a possible inflection point where Post's streaming dominance and festival prestige start to clash with the realities of ultra‑large, solo stadium economics. These reports are based on ticket maps and anecdotal accounts of free-ticket distribution and should be considered informed but still somewhat speculative, not independently verified by Post's camp or major trade outlets. On the public‑appearance front, Post continues to be a visible fixture in big national events. Terry Crews recently promoted a July 4th NBC and Peacock broadcast featuring Noah Kahan and Post Malone in a patriotic marathon special, positioning him as a go‑to pop figure for tentpole American TV celebrations, according to Crews' Instagram reel. Politically adjacent visibility also popped up when Vivek Ramaswamy shared that he “enjoyed watching Post Malone, HARDY, and the other artists celebrating” during recent festivities, in a widely discussed post on X, further cementing Post's music as soundtrack material for high‑profile public moments rather than overtly political messaging. On social media, fan TikToks from recent shows emphasize his reputation for kindness and authenticity, with one clip captioned “@Post Malone always so genuine!” circulating as a small but telling reminder of how his personal brand remains anchored in being approachable and emotionally open onstage, a trait that has become core to his long‑term biography as a modern pop star. No credible major news outlet has reported on new controversies, lawsuits, or big business deals in the past 24 hours, and there have been no verified announcements of new albums or collaborations; any rumors you may see about surprise releases or hidden weddings involving Post should be treated as speculation at this point.

It took 65 years for that message to completely reverse itself in the Democratic Party and on the Left. Out is personal achievement. In is victimhood. Out is reaching for the stars. In is ushering in oppressed people from all over the world to ensure a steady supply. Out is the right of American citizens with their vote. In are people who don't respect that vote.As Trump gives his speech at Mount Rushmore later this evening, Zohran Mamdani, who is supposedly just the Mayor of New York City, has positioned himself as Trump's equal, the Mirror President for the other America. Thirsty as ever, in love with his own image, thinking who the hell he is, he has the audacity to sit in George Washington's chair to make a speech about a new America he hopes to invent, one without borders, without Capitalism, without billionaires.His speech paints the American government as oppressive, while demonizing them for policing immigration:"We see it just as clearly in every American who still believes this country belongs to we, the people. We see America each time neighbors link arms with neighbors without asking how long they've lived here or what papers they have as ICE invades our neighborhoods. We see America each time working people demand more, not just for themselves, but for their fellow Americans."The irony is that he demonizes the rich, the very people who pad his risks in New York City and help him present a fake-pretend utopian fantasy that only works because of the rich people in the city, because they won't let it fail. It's absolution, after all, and there is no price high enough for that. It took America 250 years to arrive at a place where the country might finally, at long last, “be like Europe.” How many times did I hear that throughout my life? Why can't we be like Europe? We were raised to hate our country, to see it as a Capitalist hellhole of the haves and the have-nots, a lesser nation than France or the UK or Italy. No wonder Mamdani thinks he speaks for everyone. But we didn't have a bloody revolution just to copy England.Mamdani is like a cult leader who can now exploit whole generations who have been indoctrinated to believe that there is something rotting at the core of America's heart, a disease of “white supremacy” and a history of exploitation, colonization, slavery, trauma, abuse, and poverty. Their only answer for this is to “be more like Europe.” At best, that is where they land. Really, it's probably closer to “be more like China.”They're already halfway there. Cancel culture has silenced all dissent. The DSA is rising, and the Democrats have kissed Mamdani's ring.Not because it is easy…It's not easy making it in America. It's not easy making enough money for a decent home, to raise a family, and to take a vacation once in a while. No one ever said it would be easy, least of all, JFK:We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept.”JFK was assassinated before I was born. The Democrats were haunted by him for my entire life, until Barack Obama came along and was the first to erase the ghosts of the past and redefine what it meant to be both a Democrat and a person of the Left. That meant fundamental things would change. One of the biggest changes was going from believing in personal achievement to believing in victimhood. Obama took the obstruction of his policies personally. It was those racist Republicans. So they set about changing the hearts and minds of the young and teaching them that the only reason they couldn't succeed was their victim status, and before long, that became the only thing that mattered about them. But for that movement to succeed, it required a sick country, not a healthy one. The Democrats were split in 2016 between the “white working class” in Bernie's Democratic Socialism and the identity politics of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Now, what we're seeing is a marriage between the two. Now, it's not what Vivek Ramaswamy called Woke Capitalism, but rather, Woke Socialism. Isn't it just another way to sell to Gen-Z?They are the most privileged generation ever to walk the face of the earth. Capitalism gave them social media, email, a computer in the palm of their hand, DoorDash, Google, Uber, TikTok, YouTube, streaming music, television shows, fast food, fast fashion, Instacart, Airbnb, influencer culture, and movies. And it's not enough. Why can't they be a Kardashian and have birthday parties with ten thousand balloons? Why can't they travel to Europe? Why can't they own a house? Why can't they live on Manhattan's Upper West Side? Why is Elon Musk a trillionaire with so many homeless people on the streets? Why are they so miserable, so full of anxiety, so full of hate? How can a life of convenience be so hard?They want an easy life as they have in Sweden, Italy, or France. They want to Free Palestine. They want their happy ending for all oppressed people all over the world, especially those crossing the border. They were told this was America's problem, so why can't they change America to fix it?And if they can't have it, well…They were raised to believe it should all be easy. If you have anxiety, take a pill. If movies and books trigger you, they'll have trigger warnings. Bullies at school will be eradicated. Self-esteem is what matters most. Words are violence. If masculinity is too toxic, we'll feminize society to make it easier.Mothers of my generation coddled the American mind. We helicoptered our children. We kept them from every imaginable harm, and we tried to clear a path to success. We taught them that you should only do things if they're easy, not if they are hard. Because if they are too hard, that might lead to failure, and our kids could never fail.But we forgot to teach them the value of hard work and failure because we never wanted them to feel any discomfort. If their lives were easy, we felt like we'd accomplished something because they'd be happy. But happiness comes from service, from building something, achieving something, doing something hard. This country has always been “move fast and break things” but also “move fast and build things.” Invent things, envision things, start a business. I could never have started a business as a single mother in Italy as I did in America in 1999. America is the only country where anyone can build anything. The downside of that is that it's hard. There is a price to pay for freedom. Unless you've felt freedom, real freedom, in your mind and heart, you'll never love this country the way I do. I love feeling free and always have. I had to escape the Left and the Democratic Party because I no longer felt free, as they no longer believe in freedom. They believe in forced compliance and conformity.But freedom also means this:And this:They're just too dumb by now to realize that they live in a free country where they can say and do anything they please without being shot on the spot or thrown in jail. They're free to call Trump a fascist dictator because he isn't one. They're free to protest “No Kings” because Trump isn't one. Mamdani wants to fundamentally transform America and turn it into a Communist utopia, and the Democrats are letting him. That is not the way to lead America 250 years in. No, we have to fight for what America is. It is not a failure, not yet. It is worth fighting for. Younger generations should be taught that they can do anything with their lives, no matter their skin color, and that they can make money right now on YouTube, Substack, and TikTok. They can start a business. They can go to trade school. They can use AI to get them where they need to go because it can make any ordinary person well-skilled and productive. And it's free. It's all there for the taking, but it will never be enough for a movement fueled by victimhood.A Nation built on strengthObviously, Donald Trump is not perfect. Every day, someone throws out another immoral or unethical thing they believe disqualifies him from leading. Ya, we got that. Your job was to beat him by making a better case to the American people, and you never did.Trump was called to this moment in history to hold fast and true to America's founding principles. I've never seen a more patriotic American, let alone a president, in my entire life. He's celebrating every part of it. He's reviving our history. He's making us proud of our country. Trump's White House YouTube channel has videos like this:Endless amounts of them, trying to fill the cup back up to halfway full for future generations. Later tonight, Trump will once again be at Mount Rushmore to give a speech for America at 250. I already know what he will say because I know him, and I know no president in my lifetime has loved this country more. He'll remind us what America is and what threatens us now. And seething in the background will be bitter, angry, jealous people who have to root for America's failure, not because they hate him that much, but because they refuse to relinquish their power back to the people. They could have won the election, but instead, they went to war.They will have to hold on to that hate for years to come so they can pass it on to their children and make them understand why they could not celebrate a country that, to paraphrase U2, gave them everything they ever wanted … it wasn't what they wanted. I live in a town that is full of wealthy white liberals, and almost no one has a flag out front. I put two up by my fence to show my gratitude and my love for this glorious, young, imperfect, beautiful country. I can only hope no one steals it in a rage. On the other hand, people in my town have a long tradition of putting out chairs for the 4th of July parade a month in advance. The chairs stretch out for miles, and no one ever takes them. To be an American means self-governance, but it also means being part of that fragile, invisible thread that ties us together, like chairs that line the main highway, all different but somehow the same because we're all in it together and celebrating the nation's birthday, not because it is easy — but because it is hard. This isn't my love letter to America. That will come tomorrow. But it is my way of saying that no one should lead this country who wants it to be anything other than what it was born to be: free. /// This is a public episode.

Hugh discusses the Democratic Partyâs lurch to the socialist left and talks with Vivek Ramaswamy, founder, Roivant Sciences, Ohio Gubernatorial candidate, Mary Katharine Ham, co-host, Getting Hammered & Normally podcasts, and Sarah Bedford, Investigations Editor, âWashington Examiner.âSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kathy Barnett steps into the host seat on The Dawn Stensland Show to deliver a fierce reality check on the state of the union and the latest decisions coming down from the nation's highest court. We react to the Supreme Court's recent rulings on border policy and women's sports, calling out John Roberts and the judicial establishment for punting birthright citizenship back to a dysfunctional Congress. Kathy pulls back the curtain on the political class, drawing on her experience running for the U.S. Senate and traveling the nation with Vivek Ramaswamy to explain why too many leaders believe they live by a separate set of rules than the American people. We pivot to the future of the country by looking directly at the education system and the generation we are raising. Retired education commissioner Daniel McGrath joins the conversation to break down a newly released national education monitor report. We examine why reading and math scores have steadily declined since 2013, the widening gap affecting lower-skilled kids, and the ultimate success of the "Mississippi Miracle" where schools managed to lift the entire student body even through the pandemic. Kathy argues that without a strong foundation in critical thinking and civics, the nation risks losing its moral center to socialist ideology. The show goes directly to the frontlines of national security and the opioid crisis with an exclusive conversation featuring the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Sarah Carter. We break down the massive reduction in annual drug overdose deaths—dropping from over 112,000 under the Biden administration to under 69,000—and what must happen next to bring that number down to zero. Carter calls out China for the persistent flow of fentanyl precursor chemicals, and Kathy closes the broadcast with a passionate reading of the Declaration of Independence, reminding the audience exactly where our rights originate.

We look at Ohio politics, a federal religious-liberty commission, and the reaction to recent Democratic Socialist primary wins in New York City.Ohio Republicans repeat false claims about Dr. Amy Acton and COVID-era county fair restrictions, trying to use that issue to help Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign. They don't explain that in 2020 Ramaswamy supported the lock downs and even mandatory vaccinations.Trump administration's Religious Liberty Commission, which we say was built around Christian nationalist complaints rather than broad religious liberty is being sued arguing that the commission violated federal requirements for inclusiveness because it was dominated by evangelical voices. We also discuss concern that its report would push the idea that church-state separation is a problem.Finally, we discuss the New York City primary results and the panic they caused among MAGA figures and some establishment Democrats. We argue that Democratic Socialist wins in a heavily Democratic city are being overstated as a national warning sign. We say the issues driving those campaigns are affordability, housing, health care, and wages, and that voters are responding to candidates who seem more willing to challenge Trump-era politics.Full Show Notes & Links UsedSend us Fan MailSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Purple Political Breakdown: Ohio Edition takes you through three Ohio congressional races and the statewide news shaping the 2026 midterms. Host Radell Lewis breaks down the 6th, 7th, and 8th districts: Michael Rulli versus Elizabeth Kirtley in the east, the more competitive Max Miller versus Brian Poindexter race in the northeast, and Warren Davidson versus Vanessa Enoch in the southwest, the district Radell calls home. Before the districts, Radell follows the money. New campaign finance reports show Democrat Amy Acton outraising Vivek Ramaswamy in the governor's race, even as Ramaswamy sits on a far larger war chest built on a twenty five million dollar personal loan. Down the ballot, Democrats outraised Republicans in two of four statewide races while Republicans keep a cash advantage across the board. Radell makes the case for why this should worry anyone who believes elections should not be bought. Then the maneuvering. Radell covers the FBI operation targeting the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, the surprising death penalty split between Governor DeWine and his own new attorney general, and the two voter ID measures Republicans just pushed through. One is a constitutional amendment on your November ballot. The other, the one Radell warns you to watch, is a mail-in ballot photo ID requirement he argues is less about security and more about making it harder to vote. Plus quick hits on a submetering rollback hitting apartment renters and a dangerous new synthetic opioid spreading across Northeast Ohio. Political solutions without political bias. If you are in Ohio, we are striving for a better state on the way to a better America. PODCAST NETWORK ALIVE Podcast Network.

This week on Purple Political Breakdown Ohio Edition, Radell Lewis follows the money and the power across Ohio politics and keeps circling one question: who is Ohio's government actually working for? Radell opens with the biggest and newest story, the FBI search of the Cleveland offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, a progressive group that registers voters, and why the timing and the target deserve a hard, skeptical look. He revisits the FirstEnergy corruption scandal as the real, provable Ohio fraud story, then breaks down a busy week at the Statehouse: the two voter ID measures (Senate Joint Resolution 10, the constitutional amendment headed for the November ballot, and House Bill 472, the absentee photo ID copy requirement now sitting on the governor's desk), the data center tax break that lawmakers promised to end and then quietly kept, the Medicaid anti-fraud bill, and the 3.7 billion dollar capital budget. Then it is the races. The Senate fight between Sherrod Brown and Jon Husted, including the dueling Epstein attack ads and what is actually true about the Wexner donations, Husted's vote on Trump's anti-weaponization fund, and the latest polling that pushed Cook Political Report to move the seat to toss-up. The governor's race between Amy Acton and Vivek Ramaswamy, where Radell digs into Ramaswamy's tax plan, the independent cost estimates, and his own financial disclosure. And a full District Watch on Ohio's 4th and 5th, where Radell lays out exactly what Jim Jordan and Bob Latta stand for and what their challengers, Joshua Kolasinski and Brian Shaver, are offering instead. County of the Week is Butler County. Radell shares who he is voting for and why, makes the case for showing up even in deep red districts, and keeps it where he always does: political solutions without political bias, building a better Ohio on the way to a better America.

Attorney General Dave Yost reflects on 25 years in Ohio politics This is Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's final week in office. He announced last month he is stepping down to take a job as the vice president of strategy for the Christian, conservative legal group, the Alliance Defending Freedom. Yost could not run for re-election to the attorney general office because of term limits. He planned to challenge for the Republican nomination for governor, but the Ohio GOP and President Donald Trump threw support to Vivek Ramaswamy early on in the process effectively ending Yost's primary chances. He leaves with six months left in his term. Gov. Mike DeWine tapped Ohio Department of Public Safety Director Andy Wilson to serve out the rest of Yost's term. Tuesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll hear from Ideastream's Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler, who recently sat down with Yost for an exit interview for the "State of Ohio" on WVIZ-PBS. Yost reflected on his quarter-century in Ohio politics, why he decided it was time to leave for the private sector and why this opportunity was the right one for him. Guests:- Dave Yost, Attorney General, State of Ohio- Karen Kasler, Bureau Chief, Ideastream Statehouse News Bureau New research predicts rising temperatures will increase heat-related heart disease Extreme heat can increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other serious cardiovascular events, particularly among older adults and people with existing heart conditions. As summer temperatures begin to climb across much of the country, researchers are taking a closer look at what that could mean for public health. A new study from Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals and the Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center projects that as climate change leads to more frequent extreme heat events, heat-related heart disease could increase by 200% nationwide over the next 25 years. To end the hour, we'll talk with two of the researchers behind the study about what they found, who could be most affected and what can be done to reduce the risks. Guests:- Gokul Parameswaran, Research Associate, Cardiovascular Research Institute, School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University- Salil Deo, M.D., Associate Professor, Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s documented connection to Jeffrey Epstein centers on travel and social proximity, not criminal accusation. Kennedy has acknowledged that he flew on Epstein's private plane twice, describing the trips as family-related and dating them back decades, before Epstein's crimes were publicly known. Later reporting and Epstein-related records also placed “Bobby and Mary” Kennedy in Epstein's contact materials, and a resurfaced photo of Kennedy with Epstein added another layer of scrutiny. Kennedy has denied deeper involvement, has said he was never alone with Epstein, and has publicly called for the release of Epstein-related records. The issue is not that Kennedy has been accused of participating in Epstein's crimes; it is that, like many powerful figures, he had enough proximity to Epstein's world that the public is justified in asking why that network touched so many elite circles.Vivek Ramaswamy's political operation accepted money from Glenn Dubin, the billionaire hedge-fund figure and longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate whose name has repeatedly surfaced in Epstein-related litigation and reporting. According to federal filings cited by Fox News, Dubin gave $100,000 to Ramaswamy's American Exceptionalism PAC in 2023 and another $6,600 directly to Ramaswamy's campaign; after scrutiny, Ramaswamy said the direct campaign money would be donated to anti-trafficking causes, but questions remained over the larger super PAC contribution, with later Ohio Democratic Party claims saying the PAC never returned the $100,000 before folding. Dubin has denied wrongdoing, but the political problem is obvious: a candidate publicly calling for full Epstein transparency still had campaign-aligned money flowing in from one of Epstein's most notorious wealthy associates.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Shop the store at https://shop.newchristianright.comThis episode argues that Americans historically accepted help from imperfect allies, citing Spain's role in weakening Britain during the Revolution, and uses that as a framework for political strategy today. Pastor Joel Webbon contends evangelicals tend to vote well on major moral issues like abortion and marriage but lack strategic political thinking, especially regarding Zionism and broader sources of policy outcomes. He discusses upcoming elections and party realignment after the Trump era, contrasting a Christian, populist “America-first” vision with what he portrays as Vivek Ramaswamy's agenda in Ohio, urging Christians to withhold their vote, write in a candidate, or campaign against Vivek to send a message to the GOP about candidate standards and long-term precedent. Webbon closes with a brief health update and previews NXR Studios' weekday show schedule.SPONSOR:NicNac - Premium nicotine manufactured in the USA - Use code JOEL20! for 20% off your first order at https://www.nicnac.com/discount/joel20!/ or get cash back for in-store purchases here: https://try.gotoaisle.com/nic-nac-ltloyalty?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=low&code=NXR

Trump meets King Charles and the internet jokes about “two kings”—but the moment exposes something deeper: we haven’t outgrown authority, we’ve just forgotten what it’s for. In this episode of The World View, we connect three major stories shaping the moment: – What monarchy was actually meant to be—and what modern leadership has lost – A viral congressional exchange that forces the life debate out of abstraction and into reality – Vivek Ramaswamy’s comments on Jesus—and the line that still divides the world. This isn’t just politics. It’s about authority, truth, and the question underneath everything: Who is Jesus? Because the divide isn’t left vs right, or nation vs nation. It’s Christ.

Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Adam Sosnick, and Vincent Oshana break down Donald Trump's Project Freedom rollout and Cuba takeover remarks, Tucker Carlson's New York Times interview backlash, Vivek Ramaswamy's Ohio gubernatorial race concerns, and major economic shifts including Daily Wire layoffs, Spirit Airlines' shutdown, and tech founders fleeing Washington.------✍️ FILL OUT THE PBD PODCAST SURVEY & GET $25 TO VTMERCH.COM: https://bit.ly/42dpShr

SEASON 4 EPISODE 80: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Nobody is at the wheel of Trump's war in Iran. Is the Strait of Hormuz open or is it closed? Are there peace talks with Iran in Pakistan TOMORROW… or nah? Is Jayvee Vance going? Is Iran going? Has Trump scheduled peace talks where we’re the only ones there? Will it make any difference if we’re the only ones there? Doesn’t “blowing a hole in the engine room” of an Iranian cargo ship yesterday mean we aren’t honoring Trump’s own ceasefire he boasted about? Are we paying 20 billion dollars for the Iranian uranium and hostages? The same uranium and hostages Obama bought for 400 million and Trump called him a traitor? Or is that a no? Don’t ask Trump – he doesn’t know. But that won’t stop him from answering anyway. Yes. Then Nope. Then Yes again. Then: All of the Above. in 48 hours he went from 13 posts congratulating himself on winning, to insisting he would stop being “Mr. Nice Guy” and blow up all of Iran. By the way, eactly when was he “Mr. Nice Guy”? We are LOSING the war in Iran and as of today a total idiot is still president and commander-in-chief. He gets questions about the pointless war he started to divert attention from Epstein and the economy he crashed, so he orders the reporters out of the Oval Office, and sits there with hapless munchkin Little Joe Rogan standing behind him, the shine off his cueball noggin blinding cameras and journalists alike. Trump has set off a chain of events over which he no longer has any control – except to withdraw and flee – and to withdraw and flee is to acknowledge he screwed up. And this man would jump off the roof of the White House before admitting he screwed up. The Trump “Administration” has so UTTERLY jumped the shark, that the truthers are coming out from inside MAGA: Alex Jones now insists Trump has done all this DELIBERATELY, because he has made a “deal with the deep state to throw the election to the Democrats." Marjorie Taylor Greene has joined the Trump Assassination Truthers and Trump himself has floated a kind of conspiracy theory ABOUT himself… he wrote ‘Praise Be To Allah’ on Easter morning to “seem as unstable and insulting as possible.” He wanted to seem as unstable as possible? MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, Trump! You’ve finally done something you promised! B-Block (28:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Before the year is out, Major League Baseball will threaten to lock the players out and cancel the season in 2027 because the smaller market teams can't make enough money to compete. One of those teams just sold for $3.1 billion more than it did in 2012. New York's hockey teams support a) Trump putting his name on public buildings or b) legal funds for cops convicted of killing unarmed civilians. Vivek Ramaswamy dismisses his opponent talking about being raped as a child as her "complaining." And Lauren Boebert thinks Congress is too horny and she won't remain, uh, hands off. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Netflix stock took a huge hit, supposedly after the co-founder Reed Hastings announced he was bowing out. But I think it might've been another announcement that did it. They are going into news podcasts with - Brian Williams? The story of how he imploded at NBC, while I was literally an eyewitness to his public self-destruction, and the advice I gave his bosses that could have saved him (and them) if they hadn't ignored it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
