In the 1972 presidential election, Richard Nixon defeated antiwar Democrat George McGovern in a landslide, aided by the announcement of a tentative peace deal. However, South Vietnamese President Thieu rejected the agreement, fearing it would lead to Communist domination. Talks broke down, prompting Nixon to launch the intense “Christmas Bombings” (Operation Linebacker II) in December 1972. The bombings pressured North Vietnam back to the negotiating table. The Paris Peace Accords were signed in January 1973, calling for a U.S. withdrawal and a ceasefire. Nixon forced Thieu to accept the terms, though both North and South Vietnam soon violated the agreement. Later in 1973,the U.S. exited Vietnam, leaving South Vietnam heavily dependent on continued American aid. By 1974, U.S. support dwindled due to the Watergate scandal and Congressional opposition. South Vietnam’s economy and military collapsed under the strain. In late 1974, North Vietnam launched a final offensive. The ARVN, plagued by desertions and logistical failures, crumbled. Saigon fell on April 30, 1975, marking the end of the war and the unification of Vietnam under Communist rule. John Sean and James as they narrate the dramatic final years of the Vietnam War.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tara claims a "bombshell" report has revealed felonies committed by Democrat leaders, including Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, in leaking classified information during the Russia collusion probe. The host alleges that the FBI and Department of Justice covered up these crimes, which he says were committed to "topple the Trump administration" and "fix the constitutional crisis." The host also suggests that the Russia collusion hoax was created to cover up Hillary Clinton's own alleged crimes related to classified information. The host concludes by stating that this information proves the corruption of the FBI and the Democratic party.

The host argues that everything about your reality is fake, citing paid protests in Washington D.C. as a key example. He claims that a company that rents crowds has seen a 400% increase in requests from Democrats to oppose President Trump's policies, particularly his federal takeover of the city's police force. He contrasts these carefully cultivated crowds with what he calls real Republican crowds. The host then discusses what he describes as Watergate level history, referencing declassified documents that he says expose the Russia collusion hoax. According to the host, these documents reveal that prominent Democrats, including Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, along with former FBI Director James Comey, were involved in a conspiracy to illegally leak classified information to damage and indict Trump. He claims that the FBI knew about these crimes as early as June 2023 but covered them up, demonstrating a dual justice system. The host also alleges that D.C. crime statistics are being manipulated to hide an increase in crime.

The host combines a series of claims to argue that a "fake reality" has been unmasked, revealing a deep conspiracy. He asserts that a whistleblower led to the declassification of documents from a secret room inside the FBI, which he says prove that high-ranking Democrats, including Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and Hillary Clinton's campaign, fabricated the "Russia hoax" to damage and indict Donald Trump. The host claims these documents show a plot where Democrats openly planned to leak classified information, with a staffer calling it "treason." He further alleges that the FBI and DOJ, under James Comey and Merrick Garland, covered up these crimes by shutting down an investigation called "Arctic Haze" and manipulating evidence against Trump in another case, thus demonstrating a "dual justice system." The host also contrasts this with positive economic data, which he says proves that the "fake reality" is collapsing, and calls for prison time for all those involved to ensure accountability. He also claims that Democrats are paying for protests in D.C. to oppose Trump's policies.

Support us directly: https://www.redwebpod.com In 1973, investigators requested tapes that could help unravel one of the most powerful political scandals in American history. When the recordings arrived, one contained a mysterious gap, with nearly twenty minutes of silence during a key conversation. The contents of that missing audio have never been recovered.

You know, the ones who thought democracy was real.Durham's report confirmed what we already knew: Obama, Biden, and Clinton colluded to frame Trump with Russian lies while the media did cartwheels to carry their dirty water. And now? Obama's halo is slipping. His brand is starting to look like the Vineyard Vines version of Watergate.The Democrats have been revealed as the party of frauds, fakes, and fabulists.

After four dedicated years of exploring conservative books and wisdom, we're expanding our horizons with a new weekly format that complements our traditional book-focused episodes.This inaugural Weekend Show establishes a historical foundation by ranking America's five most significant presidential scandals. From the infamous Watergate break-in that forced Nixon's resignation to the secret oil reserve leases of Teapot Dome, the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, railroad corruption during Grant's administration, and the Whiskey Ring tax evasion scheme—each scandal reveals profound lessons about power, accountability, and the fragility of democratic institutions.Having established this historical baseline, we turn our attention to troubling contemporary revelations. Recently declassified information points to what could potentially become the most consequential political scandal in American history—a nine-year presidential coup attempt with connections to the highest levels of government. Drawing from authors like Lee Smith and Greg Jarrett who documented these developments in real-time, we promise future episodes that will methodically examine the evidence and implications.The show also highlights notable new conservative literature, including Mark Levin's latest exploration of power dynamics and Drago Dazarian's powerful journey from political prisoner to Navy SEAL.

What did they do to promote their narrative? I explain why this scandal is a nuclear water cannon compared to the squirt gun pee that was Watergate back in 1972. Unlike Watergate this more-recent scandal cost people friendships, wrecked extended families, divided churches, cost people jobs and potential jobs, and even infected how people view international relations. How can the country recover? How will trust ever be rebuilt? In the show's second half I work through various traditional positions of Christian on political engagement.

This week we dive into why platforming fascists is always a terrible idea, using Mehdi Hasan's recent Jubilee debate as our cautionary tale. We examine how these staged confrontations accomplish nothing except providing content for right-wing sites and turning wannabe fascists into MAGA heroes.We break down the employment reality behind Connor Estelle's firing (spoiler: it's called "at-will employment," not "cancellation") and marvel at how quickly the grift machine turned his unemployment into a nearly $40K GoFundMe payday.Then we turn to the real story everyone's trying to avoid: Trump's massive pedophile coverup and the GOP's desperate scramble to shut down any discussion of the Epstein files. We watch Mike Johnson literally shut down the House rather than allow a vote on transparency, while Trump pulls out his greatest hits of Obama derangement and treason accusations to distract his base.Recorded live from the Cornfield Resistance, where stupid Watergate just keeps getting stupider.Link for this episode:  Catch Driftglass and Digby on The Bradcast 7/23/25: https://bradblog.com/?p=15450 Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

On June 25th, 2007, the CIA quietly released 693 pages of their most classified secrets. No announcement, no fanfare—just a document dump that revealed decades of illegal operations against American citizens. The Family Jewels documents exposed systematic violations that went far beyond what anyone imagined. Mind control experiments using LSD on unwitting subjects. Surveillance operations targeting 300,000 Americans who committed no crimes. Media manipulation programs that turned journalists into intelligence assets. Assassination plots approved at the highest levels of government. These weren't conspiracy theories—they were real operations, documented in the CIA's own words. The Family Jewels revealed how the agency designed to protect America became its greatest threat. What started as damage control after Watergate became the most comprehensive confession of government crimes in American history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxY3KZ3pQ3o

SEASON 3 EPISODE 147: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: We have been burying the lede here. Trump. Is. Suing. Murdoch. Trump and Murdoch are at war. Over Jeffrey Epstein. The two worst people in the country, probably the world, at each other's throats, until further notice. Weeks, months, years. Amid rumors Murdoch's people at the Wall Street Journal are upworking ANOTHER Trump-Epstein/Epstein-Trump/Trumpstein story. And that Murdoch is preparing a Defcon scenario in which he turns Fox News against Trump. Because if Trump is stupid enough to try to put Murdoch out of business, Murdoch will have no choice but to try to put Trump out of business. Trump also seems to be doing everything else he can think of to make sure the Trumpstein story never leads the headlines again. Attacks his own people again. Left a paper trail inside the DOJ and FBI of Pam Bondi searching for thousands of Trump references inside an evidence pit the size of The New York Public Library. Changing the story of the latest plot against him for the sixth time in a week. And watching the polls - 17% approve of his handling of the Epstein issue - actually get worse since just last Thursday (89% want everything, not just the almost-meaningless Grand Jury testimony, released). Oh by the way there IS a Trump Client List inside DOJ/FBI. The only part of Trump's claim that there isn't that's true, is that it may not bear that title. There's literally 40 computers, 70 CDs of video, and 300 gigabytes of data. The Trumpstein story will swamp his presidency. For sheer volume it exceeds almost everything else Trump has ever done. It makes Watergate look like the editing out of four words in a 5,000 word document. IT'S WONDERFUL. Trumpstein, Trumpstein, Trumpstein. ALSO: Trump's unpopularity has now reached 1st Term proportions. Tulsi Gabbard is conflating two Russian stories and claiming the one nobody believed (Russia tampered with voting machines) disproves the one Robert Mueller proved (Russia hacked emails and got them to Trump's campaign). How does that work? I'll explain the psychology of morons who want to please their bosses, with the story of Tennessee Ernie Williams. And if you think Trump isn't brain dead he wrote something that must've come directly from a dream about how the Cleveland Guardians (formed 1901, not named "Indians" until 1915) are one of baseball's "six original teams" (Major League Baseball started 30 years earlier; it's HOCKEY with "the original six" and that's wrong too). B-Block (39:15) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: I understand this busts the narrative and reduces our ability to suffer as martyrs, but there is one inarguable and unanswerable fact that disproves the almost-universally accepted premise that CBS cancelled Stephen Colbert solely to appease Trump. It's this: If they are silencing him, why have they decided to keep him on TV for THE NEXT TEN MONTHS? This is the Phil Donahue cancellation all over again. It works to CBS's corporate advantage to make it look like they are sucking up to the psycho. Sorry. This is the least of the reasons. C-Block (1:09:10) MONDAYS WITH THURBER: Haven't done any of his priceless stories lately, and with Trump's new permanent Trumpstein Crisis, it's fitting to do James Thurber's stunningly prophetic saga "The Greatest Man In The World."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore. After 15 years of ringing alarm bells about the Republican party's dangers to our democracy, we find ourselves in the midst of what we're calling "Stupid Watergate Summer" – and it's cooking now.This week, we break down the eerie parallels between Nixon's original Watergate scandal and Trump's current pedophile coverup crisis. From mysteriously missing minutes in crucial evidence (sound familiar?) to panicked firings of key Justice Department officials, we're watching history rhyme in the most disturbing ways possible.We explore how Trump's load-bearing lie – his promise to expose the "global pedophile ring" – is finally cracking under the weight of his own contradictions. When your entire political movement is built on fighting satanic pedophiles, what happens when you start covering for them instead?Plus, we discuss the unprecedented blowback from Trump's own MAGA base, Elon Musk's social media meltdown over the Epstein files, and why this scandal has the potential to fracture the cult of personality that is modern Republicanism.We also cover the week's news: hundreds of lawyers banding together against Emil Bove's judicial nomination, Trump's rambling speech about his uncle and the Unabomber, and Josh Hawley's pathetic attempt to roll back Medicaid cuts he just voted for.Because when fascists are destroying democracy, the answer to every question is a noun, a verb, and Donald Trump's coverup of the Epstein Files.Not safe for work.
