"I'm currently incarcerated... Convicted of a crime I didn't even commit! Huh! 'Attempted murder;' now, honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel Prize for 'attempted chemistry?' Do they?" - Bob Underdunk Terwilliger Sideshow Bob returns and dabbles in the world of Springfield politics in ways that may remind you of Watergate and the 1988 US presidential election. But when he uses his new mayoral powers against the Simpsons, Bart and Lisa have to team up or else risk living in a motel that probably costs more than six dollars a night.  Our guest: Chris Wade, producer of the Chapo Trap House podcast Support this podcast and get over 200 ad-free bonus episodes by visiting Patreon.com/TalkingSimpsons and becoming a patron!

Progressivism struggles with a never ending pendulum swing between Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian impulses, bringing us to our current problem of inaction. Author Mark Dunkelman in his book, "Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress—and How to Bring It Back", explains the origins of American progressivism as a response to the upheaval created by railroads and national-scale economic power, outlining these two competing impulses within the movement: the Jeffersonian push to break up big institutions and return power to smaller, local actors, and a Hamiltonian push to build strong public institutions capable of regulating large private entities. The discussion traces how the U.S. shifted toward large-scale governance in the New Deal and mid-20th century, then swung back in the 1960s–1970s as public trust eroded due to environmental damage, highways cutting through communities, urban renewal, Vietnam, and Watergate, leading to layered legal and procedural checks that can fragment decision-making and make it difficult for governments to act quickly. Dunkelman describes how the judiciary's role changed over time and argues that today's system resembles a “tragedy of the commons in reverse,” where widespread veto points prevent collective action. Show Notes:Further Reading: Making a New Deal: Industrial Workers in Chicago, 1919-1939 by Lizabeth CohenSaving America's Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America by Lizabeth CohenCadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water by Marc ReisnerFind each on our Policy book list at https://bookshop.org/lists/theory-policy-historyTo help support the show, pick up a copy of the book through our Bookshop page at https://bookshop.org/shop/bookedonplanning or get a copy through your local bookstore!To view the show transcripts, click on the episode at https://bookedonplanning.buzzsprout.com/ Follow us on social media for more content related to each episode:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/booked-on-planning/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BookedPlanningFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonplanningInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bookedonplanning/

Richard Nixon came within a gnats eyelash of being impeached over the Watergate scandal, but ended up resigning instead. Despite some of his positive achievements, he is generally considered a bad president. But what about Trump? Is he worse?In this episode of Lean to the Left, host Bob Gatty is joined by novelist and podcaster Laura VanWormer, creator of the serialized audio fiction podcast Class of '74.The conversation explores the dynamics of political power through a compelling comparison of Donald Trump and Richard Nixon, with VanWormer offering a provocative take on why Nixon—despite his flaws—represented a more functional form of leadership.Laura also shares her deeply personal journey following a devastating car accident that forced her to step away from writing novels—and how that loss unexpectedly gave rise to Class of '74, a podcast that blends 1970s nostalgia, political backdrop, and soap-opera storytelling into a modern audio experience enjoyed by listeners around the world.This episode is a reflection on:• Political leadership and historical perspective• Resilience after personal tragedy• Podcasting as a new literary frontier• Humor as a survival tool in dark political timesThoughtful, funny, and deeply human, this conversation is a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling—and the importance of laughter when confronting history and the present moment.

Send a textEpisode 428 – Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 9) Out as RNC ChairmanPower in Washington can rise quickly — and shift just as fast. Part 9 explores the dramatic turning point when Bob Dole's tenure as chairman of the Republican National Committee comes to an abrupt end and George H. W. Bush is brought in to take the helm.Through a series of revealing phone conversations, listeners are taken inside the political maneuvering at the highest levels of the Nixon White House. We hear the tone, strategy, and personal dynamics in calls between President Richard Nixon and Bush, as well as between Nixon and Dole, offering a rare window into how leadership decisions were made during one of the most volatile periods in modern political history.This episode examines not just the mechanics of Dole's removal, but the broader political context surrounding it — a moment when the administration was increasingly consumed by the unfolding Watergate complex scandal. Ironically, stepping away from the RNC chairmanship may have distanced Dole from the day-to-day political machinery that would soon be engulfed in controversy.Part 9 captures the tension, loyalty, and hard political realities behind a pivotal transition — showing how a setback in the moment may have altered Dole's long-term political trajectory and spared him deeper entanglement in one of the defining crises of the twentieth century.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, Trump takes hits from every direction — the Supreme Court, international investigators, the polls, and even his own economic reality — while still trying to grab more power, more money, and more control.⚖️ Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump's TariffsIn a major loss for Trump, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that most of his tariffs are illegal, saying the president does not have unilateral authority to impose them under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Two Trump-appointed justices — Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett — joined the majority. Trump responded by attacking the Court, accusing his own judges of bias and disloyalty, and is now scrambling to impose a new 15% global tariff through other legal loopholes.We ask:Should Trump have to obey rulings from judges he appointed?Does this restore any faith in the Supreme Court?Is the economy actually better after Trump's tariffs?

Donald Trump isn't hiding his corruption anymore—he's broadcasting it. But why is the media failing to see the threat right in front of them?In this video, Marc Elias breaks down how Donald Trump has fundamentally changed the rules of American politics by "saying the quiet part out loud." While traditional media outlets are still hunting for secret scandals and cover-ups (the "Watergate mindset"), Trump is openly dismantling democratic norms, demanding loyalty, and cheating in the public square.Marc explains why this "open authoritarianism" confuses the press, how it creates a permission structure for other GOP officials to break the law, and why this specific type of public corruption poses the greatest threat to free and fair elections in 2026 and beyond.Support Democracy Docket's mission:https://newsletters.democracydocket.com/youtubeFollow Democracy Docket:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/democracydocket.comInstagram⁠: https://instagram.com/democracydocketFacebook⁠: https://facebook.com/democracydocketX/Twitter⁠: https://twitter.com/DemocracyDocketTikTok⁠: https://tiktok.com/@democracydocketThreads: https://www.threads.net/@democracydocket00:00 Trump's Blatant Public Corruption00:57 Stop Saying He “Said the Quiet Part Out Loud” 02:29 Cheating in Public — And Bragging About It05:23 Why the Media Doesn't Know How to Cover This 08:58 No Cover-Up, No Consequences? 12:31 Why This Is So Dangerous for Elections 15:24 Undermining Free and Fair Elections — Out Loud 18:39 Laying the Groundwork to Take Over Voting 21:16 We Cannot Let This Be Normalized24:05 The Sycophant Olympics Inside the Administration 28:07 What “The Right People Voting” Really Means 31:37 Who Are the “Right Leaders”? 34:04 The Power Republicans Don't Have36:09 Believe What He's Telling You 39:18 What We Must Do Before November

I have been looking forward to that episode.He got cold feet. Too bad. On the other hand, I tend to avoid active politicians. Because they're rarely as candid as I'd like a guest to be. Oh well.A fan of last week's pod who lives near Atlanta writes, “The longtime Dishheads on the Mableton cul-de-sac definitely approve of your interview with homegrown talent Zaid Jilani”:I agree with his description of Mableton as a bit like the United Nations; I see that diversity in our grocery stores and local restaurants. He mentioned how he was often the only Pakistani and thus perceived as a nonthreatening minority. It makes me wonder how much the diversity mix affects how people perceive immigration? If a large group from one country arrives, does that seem more like an invasion? If a similar number arrives but from a wide range of locations, does that seem more like the normal American melting pot?After 30 years of living in Mableton, this may partly explain why I am not bothered by immigration in the way that you are, Andrew. I expect to see and hear all sorts of people wherever I go in my neighborhood. Today the teller at the bank spoke accented English. There are regular clerks at my grocery store who are immigrants. Our new HVAC was installed by immigrants. As an Atlanta suburb, there are many people descended from African slaves. European ancestry is merely one possibility off the long colorful menu around here.I think pace and numbers matter. A slower pace and fewer — with no massive homogenous populations arriving at once. And a new emphasis on Americanization over “multiculturalism”.From a listener who wants to “Make Democrats Great Again”:Great conversation with Zaid Jilani last week. I am very concerned that hardly any Democrats are being at all introspective, trying to figure out where they went wrong and how to become a party that can actually win elections — maybe even hearts and minds. They are only defined as anti-Trump, and their only hope is for Trump to go down in flames — which he very well might, but all they aspire to is winning as the least-worst party.The policy directions for reclaiming sanity and moderate voters are obvious (to me, at least). Here are my top three issues:1. AffordabilityThe longest lever to affect affordability is housing. Democrats have been complete failures in this regard, with strongholds like California and NYC being the least affordable places. When they talk about “affordable housing,” they only mean housing that is forced below market rate for the few poor people lucky enough to get it. They offer no solutions for the middle class or young people.The solution is obvious: build more. Plough through the various restrictions that are preventing housing from being built. There is no reason housing can't be cheap, except for NIMBY politics. Scott Weiner in California has been doing great work on this.Health care is the second-longest affordability lever. Obamacare made some progress, but not nearly enough, especially in terms of keeping costs down. But I'm not sure we're ready for another push on this; I say focus on housing.2. ImmigrationObviously there should be some immigration, and obviously we have structured our economy such that many jobs are only done by immigrants. But the Democrats' policy of simply not enforcing immigration law is untenable, especially for a group asking to be put in charge of law enforcement. We need those migrant workers, so find a way for them be here legally. Not through amnesty, but through some sort of bureaucratic process: have the employers fill out a form; have the prospective worker fill out a form in some office in Mexico; have someone process the form; and give them a green card.This is simple stuff! And yes, it would be helpful to admit that open borders, sanctuary cities, and subverting the law were not good ideas.3. CultureEnd wokeness. America is not a country consumed by white supremacy, and the people who voted for Trump are not racists. There are hardly any racists! And drop the other insanities, like the trans stuff.The message needs to be, “We are the Democrats and we want to help anybody from any state who needs help.” Hard to convince struggling white people in the South that you're going to help them when you seem to despise them. Love your brother, for crying out loud. And naturally, today's woke Democrats would be much more accepting of this message if it came from a racial minority candidate.Another wanted to hear more:I wish you had asked Zaid about Josh Shapiro. Also, when Zaid talked about affordability, he never mentioned housing — which is why there are so many ex-Californians in his home state of Georgia and elsewhere. “Build Baby Build” should be the slogan of the Democratic Party, rather than gaslighting Americans into believing housing prices will come down because we are getting rid of immigrants (Vance).Here's a dissent:About 20:30 into your interview with Zaid Jilani, he said that the root of all the Abrahamic faiths is that the meek have rights. You replied that this applied more to Christianity and Islam than to Judaism. I say this neither rhetorically nor to admonish you, but how much do you know about Judaism? Your comment is completely mistaken. Just what do you think Judaism says about the meek?Another has examples:In Genesis, you find that all humans were created b'tzelem Elohim (in the image of God). Moreover, Jewish texts consistently frame care for the poor as a legal obligation and moral imperative, not mere charity. Every Jewish child learns that promoting economic justice is mandated. It is called tzedakah.This religious mandate has manifested itself in the real world. Jews have been disproportionately represented in social justice movements aimed at promoting human equality. It wasn't an accident that two of three civil rights movement activists murdered in Neshoba County, Mississippi by the Ku Klux Klan were Jewish.Points taken. Big generalizations in a chat can be dumb. My quarrel may be semantic: the meek is not merely the weak. It's about the quiet people, those easily trampled upon. Like many of Jesus' innovations, it takes a Jewish idea further.Another listener on the Zaid pod:I wonder if you ever play the game of “which time would you like to go back to”? I do! And only half-jokingly, I often say 1994 in DC. Something about, for example, Christopher Hitchens on CSPAN in a dreary suit jacket discussing such *trivial* aspects of politics in a serious way. How perfect! When I listened to your episode with Zaid Jilani about how the left can win, it seemed dated to about this period in the early ‘90s.Ah yes, the Nineties. They were heady times and I think we all kinda realized it at the time. The economy was booming, crime was plummeting, Annie Leibovitz took my picture, and we had the luxury of an impeachment over a b*****b. Good times.On another episode, a listener says I have a “rose-colored view of President Obama”:In your conversation with Jason Willick, you said that Obama was a stickler for proper procedure and doing things the right way. I might instance, on the other side:* Evading the constitutional requirements on treaties in pursuit of the Iran deal (an evasion that the Republicans were stupid enough to go along with)* Encouraging the regulatory gambit of “sue and settle”* The “Dear Colleague” letter* “I've got a pen and a phone”Points taken. Especially the DACA move. But compared to Biden and Trump? Much better. One more listener email:I've been following you for years, but more recently I became a subscriber, and it's a decision I don't regret! I usually listen to the Dishcast over the weekend, and I always find it extremely stimulating, but there is also something relaxing about the length and scope of your conversations.I want to respond to something you said in your Claire Berlinski episode on the subject of Ukraine. Although I appreciate your position in defence of international law, you implied that Russia's claim to Ukrainian land is somehow “historically legitimate.” This is not only problematic from a logical standpoint (does Sweden have a historically legitimate claim to Finland and Norway, or does the UK have a claim to the Republic of Ireland, the US, and all its former colonies?), but also not based on historical reality.Unfortunately, this is not the first time your comments on Ukraine seem come through the prism of a Russian lens. I am sure it's not intentional; perhaps that's not a subject you have invested much time in, which is legitimate. However, I find it a bit surprising that, as we approach the fifth year of Russia's full-scale invasion, you still don't seem to have had the curiosity to explore this and invite any specialist on Ukraine. If Timothy Snyder is too political these days, I would recommend Serhii Plokhy — possibly the most eminent historian of Ukraine — or Yaroslav Hrytsak. They would each be a very interesting conversation.The Dishcast has featured many guests with expertise on the Ukraine war, including Anne Applebaum (twice), John Mearsheimer, Samuel Ramani (twice), Edward Luttwak, Fiona Hill (twice), Robert Wright, Robert Kaplan, Fareed Zakaria, Douglas Murray, Edward Luce, and Niall Ferguson.A reader responds to last week's column, “The President Of The 0.00001 Percent”:Like you, I'm not against people getting rich. A lot of good is done by a few people who have enough money to seed research and the arts, and pursue things that ordinary worker bees would never have the margin of time or resources to pursue. Good so far.But all strong forces need regulation and/or protective barriers, whether it's the weather, sex, patriotism, or capitalism. What's going on now is obscene. Progressive taxation is a social good: it doesn't stop anyone from getting richer and richer; it doesn't remove the positive motivators for success; it just means that the farther they get, the higher their proportionate contribution to the system that lets them get there. There are various ways to tweak the dials, but there is nothing philosophically wrong with tweaking them in a way the sets some outer limit. Let it be very high, but let it not be infinite.Here's a familiar dissent:You were right to torch the nihilism of the .00001 class. You were right to call out moral evasions. But when you referred to “the IDF's massacre of children in Gaza,” you collapsed a morally and legally distinct reality into a slogan. Words matter. “Massacre” implies intent. It suggests that the deliberate killing of children is policy rather than tragic consequence. That is a serious charge, and it deserves serious evidence.The governing reality in Gaza is not that Israel woke up one morning and decided to target children.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! This week on The Georgia Politics Podcast, we trace the remarkable rise of Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter from the Gold Dome to the White House. How did a little-known, one-term governor from Plains transform himself into a viable presidential contender in the wake of Watergate? We examine Carter's outsider message, his emphasis on honesty and reform, and the disciplined, state-by-state strategy that stunned the political establishment in 1976. We break down Carter's appeal to Southern and evangelical voters, and the broader national mood that made his campaign possible.  From rural Georgia to Washington, this episode looks at the political skill, timing and strategy behind one of the most improbable presidential ascents in modern American history.

Watergate war ein US-Politkrimi. Am Anfang stand der Einbruch in ein Büro der Demokratischen Partei 1972. Am Ende hatte sich Präsident Richard Nixon so in Lügen und Widersprüche verstrickt, dass er zurücktreten musste. Die Affäre gilt bis heute als Sternstunde des investigativen Journalismus. Ein Podcast von Florian Kummert (BR 2015)

Diese Woche bei Oscars & Himbeeren:Drei aktuelle Netflix-Titel zwischen Spionage, Zeitdiagnose und Schachbrett: "Unfamiliar" inszeniert deutsche Agenten-Düsternis mit viel Atmosphäre und politischem Anspruch, wirkt dabei jedoch stellenweise spürbar konstruiert und dramaturgisch etwas zu kalkuliert; "Breakdown: 1975" von Morgan Neville analysiert klug den kulturellen und politischen Ausnahmezustand der USA nach Vietnam und Watergate und zeichnet ein dichtes Bild der “New Hollywood”-Ära, bleibt dabei jedoch in entscheidenden Momenten eher an der Oberfläche; "Queen of Chess" von Rory Kennedy porträtiert Judit Polgár und ihre legendären Duelle mit Garry Kasparov als faszinierende Charakterstudie - spannend in den psychologischen Momenten, dramaturgisch jedoch recht konventionell.Oscars & Himbeeren - wie immer: schonungslos auf den Punkt gebracht.Hört rein!Wenn euch der Podcast gefällt und ihr tiefer einsteigen wollt, findet ihr auf Substack weitere Texte, Porträts und Filmkritiken vonRonny Rüsch – Filmkritiker.

Matthew Week 125   Romans 13:1 ESV   Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.       1 Peter 2:13-15 NASB   13 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.15 For such is the will of God, that by doing right you silence the ignorance of foolish people.       Matthew 22:23-24 ESV   23 The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'       John 11:47-48 NASB   47 Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council meeting, and they were saying, "What are we doing in regard to the fact that this Man is performing many signs? 48 If we let Him go on like this, all the people will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take over both our place and our nation."       Deuteronomy 25:5-6 ESV   5 "If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead man shall not be married outside the family to a stranger. Her husband's brother shall go in to her and take her as his wife and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her. 6 And the first son whom she bears shall succeed to the name of his dead brother, that his name may not be blotted out of Israel.       Deuteronomy 25:9-10 ESV   9 then his brother's wife shall go up to him in the presence of the elders and pull his sandal off his foot and spit in his face. And she shall answer and say, 'So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother's house.' 10 And the name of his house shall be called in Israel, 'The house of him who had his sandal pulled off.'       Matthew 22:25-28 ESV   25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh.27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her."       1 Corinthians 15:13-19 NASB   13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, your faith also is in vain. 15 Moreover, we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised; 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If we have hoped in Christ only in this life, we are of all people most to be pitied.       "What we know today as the great Watergate cover-up lasted only three weeks. Some of the most powerful politicians in the world–and we couldn't keep a lie for more than three weeks…Can anyone believe that for fifty years that Jesus' disciples were willing to be ostracized, beaten, persecuted, and all but one of them suffer a martyr's death–without ever renouncing their conviction that they had seen Jesus bodily resurrected? Does anyone really think the disciples could have maintained a lie all that time under that kind of pressure?" https://breakpoint.org/watergate-and-the-resurrection/       Matthew 22:29-33 ESV   29 But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living." 33 And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.       Luke 20:34-36 NASB   34 Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and the women are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; 36 for they cannot even die anymore, for they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.       Luke 20:37-38 ESV   37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him."       2 Timothy 1:9-14 NASB   9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was granted to us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 for which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; but I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to protect what I have entrusted to Him until that day. 13 Hold on to the example of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 14 Protect, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.                    

ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN Two rookie reporters and rivals at The Washington Post investigate the botched 1972 break-in at the Democratic Party's headquarters in the Watergate complex. With help from a shadowy source known as Deep Throat, they connect the burglars to the White House and keep digging despite mounting pressure and threats. Following the money, they uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power. Craig, Elisabeth and guest Annie Bulloch talk about the current state of journalism, widespread corruption, president's Day and the movie “All the President's Men” on this week's Matinee Heroes. Show Notes 0:55 Craig, Elisabeth and guest Annie Bulloch talk (reluctantly) about their favorite presidents. 8:11 Craig, Elisabeth and Annie discuss "All The President's Men". 51:11 Recasting 1:14:25 Double Feature 1:20:11 Final Thoughts 1:25:17 A preview of next week's episode "Tightrope." Next week, we celebrate Mardi Gras with the New Orleans based "Tightrope."

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Nick Akerman, former Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor and Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to break down Attorney General Pam Bondi's recent hearing and what it reveals about the state of our government. We discuss accountability, prosecutorial power, and the growing strain the Trump administration has placed on the rule of law. Drawing on lessons from Watergate, Akerman explains how political interference, delayed justice, and selective enforcement have eroded public trust, and why DOJ independence matters now more than ever. We also examine the dangers of normalizing corruption, the reality of a two-tiered justice system, and what it will take to restore faith in American institutions before lasting damage is done.

Deep State Details Never Before Revealed! Show #103! 02122026

SEASON 4 EPISODE 58: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has attempted another coup. You may have missed it. Trump and Jeanine Pirro with the acquiescence of the hapless Speaker of the House and Porn Monitor attempted another coup: Attempted to get Senators Mark Kelly and Elise Slotkin and four members of the House INDICTED for obstructing Trump’s dictatorship. Tried to convict, tried to jail, for imaginary crimes of disloyalty to him that Trump bleated are quote “punishable by death” six military veterans because they told other Americans to follow the law. For expressing fealty to the Constitution, for publicly reminding service members that THEIR allegiance is to the constitution and not some rapidly deteriorating psychopathic despot. And ordinary Americans in a Grand Jury stopped Trump’s attempt to overthrow the government of the United States. For. Now. Which means the lesson Trump and Pirro and Johnson and the other deputy despots will take away is: next time don’t bother with Grand Juries, just have ICE blast them in the head. What to do to STOP “next time”- what to do RIGHT NOW in the Senate Continuing Funding Resolution - what to do in state houses before the midterms. PLUS: Trump's either-or: either he Narc'd on Epstein or knew nothing about his crimes. Either way, Trump is now the CEO of the Epstein Cover-up. And maybe even more disturbing, he is actually, seriously, hallucinating. Full-on crazy talk. Not his normal delusions: this is A Chinese plot to destroy the National Hockey League. He thinks this is really happening. B-Block (37:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: He won Olympic Bronze but was disqualified in the game of life. The three weird sisters are still whining about Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl: Megyn Kelly, Sage Steele, Michele Tafoya - the latter of two using language that matches almost word-for-word what was said by racists and sexists who called the ESPN complaint voicemail line to try to get THEM fired. And then there's the Twitter Rando whose 'egg corn' is as delightful as any I can remember. He's complaining about solitaire confinement! C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: In the old days baseball spring training wasn't already unofficial underway as of... last week. It was limited and exciting and one of my joys was going to it and reporting from it. So it's time to try to recreate some of that, because naturally I still have the tape of my 1978 Spring Training reports from Florida! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

El perdón no surge de manera espontánea; es una decisión profundamente espiritual. Amar implica enfrentar ofensas, decepciones y heridas. Cuando el perdón se posterga, el amor se estanca y el corazón se endurece. Perdonar no borra lo ocurrido, pero libera el alma. En 1974, tras el escándalo Watergate, el presidente Gerald Ford decidió perdonar públicamente a Richard Nixon. Aquella decisión fue incomprendida por muchos, pero mostró que el perdón tiene un costo real y un poder restaurador. De modo que, perdonar no siempre es aplaudido, pero siempre es sanador. Tal vez guardas heridas que han comenzado a definir tu manera de amar. Llevarlas a Dios es un paso necesario. Perdonar no justifica el daño; rompe su dominio. Por eso, permite que la gracia de Dios sane lo que el recuerdo aún duele. Así que, ama perdonando, porque el amor que libera sana profundamente. La Biblia dice en Colosenses 3:13: “De la manera que Cristo os perdonó, así también hacedlo vosotros”. (RV1960).

‘Doors open at the Watergate'. Those words in June 1972 signalled a break in at the Democratic National Committee in the Watergate Building. They were picked up on a police scanner by a reporter at the Washington Post. They began a chain of events which would eventually bring down a president. Last week the paper of Woodward and Bernstein, of Ben Bradlee and publisher Katharine Graham, laid off a third of its staff. The paper that stood up to the White House and took down a president now has an owner in Jeff Bezos who can't do enough to be a supplicant.On Free State today we look at how democracy dies in the darkness. We explore how history has a lesson for what happens when oligarchs and authoritarians come together and why it isn't only democracy that ultimately dies. Hosted on Acast.

Nat and Alex Wolff had me at Sam Shepard. The playwright/writer/actor was one of my dissertation topics and the brothers acted in his plays, so we agreed early on that he's one of our favorite writers.  (After you listen, please read Shepard's Pulitzer Prize winning play Buried Child.) I've interviewed other actors who are also songwriters, and as you'll hear, all channel their stage experience when they write songs. The Wolff brothers call these elements “artistic nutrients”: all the things we ingest that help us hone our craft. As an aside, this could've been the most fun I've had on a podcast. And in a first, we were somehow able to connect Watergate to the songwriting process. Nat and Alex Wolff's self-titled album is out now.

El diario The Washington Post vive una crisis histórica. El despido masivo de un tercio de su redacción bajo la gestión del magnate Jeff Bezos genera alarmas sobre el futuro de la libertad de expresión. The Washington Post, histórico periódico que destapó entre otros los casos de los papeles del Pentágono o el conocido Watergate que acabo con la dimisión del presidente Richand Nixon, vive sus momentos más críticos tras más de 150 años de historia. “Una auténtica institución para la democracia de Estados Unidos” Los despidos masivos que afectarían a un tercio de su redacción han despertado temores en Estados Unidos sobre el ocaso del periodismo y los riesgos que esto implica para la libertad de expresión. “Para un periódico como el Post, que ha tenido una cobertura internacional tan importante, quitar a los corresponsales es algo muy grave. Es un periódico que ha invertido mucho, por ejemplo, en la cobertura en América Latina, pero la cobertura de Europa es muy buena, la cobertura del Asia es muy buena, y naturalmente tienen mucha preocupación en ese sentido. El asunto de los deportes es una cosa grave”, explica a RFI el periodista colombiano Juan Carlos Iragorri, que conoce bien su redacción tras dirigir durante más de una década el podcast en español de este medio. “La idea del Post era que compitiera de cierta forma con The New York Times y The Wall Street Journal, que son los tres grandes periódicos estadounidenses. Pero entonces, al hacer todo esto, al tomar estas decisiones, en cierto modo es cortarle las alas a un periódico como el Washington Post. Y lo que hay es desazón, y desazón y tristeza en los lectores. Hay mucha tristeza entre los periodistas, y yo creo que los lectores han dejado clarísimo que les inquieta mucho lo que pasó, porque creo que es una auténtica institución para la democracia de Estados Unidos”, agrega. ¿Una capitulación ante Trump? El despido masivo de periodistas en The Washington Post ha estremecido a la mayoría de sus lectores que se preguntan si las razones detrás de esta drástica decisión de su propietario, el multimillonario Jeff Bezos y fundador de Amazon, obedecen a una crisis financiera o una capitulación ante el poder de Donald Trump. “La gente lo que cuestiona es: Jeff Bezos, por una parte, tiene, según datos actualizados, casi 250 mil millones de dólares, y el periódico, lo compró en 250 millones de dólares, es decir, en una 1.000.ª del capital que tiene hoy en día. Pero por otro lado, Jeff Bezos en los últimos meses, ha financiado y pagó más de 70 millones de dólares por el documental Melania, la primera dama de Estados Unidos, y Jeff Bezos estuvo en la toma de posesión de Donald Trump. Mucha gente ha interpretado esto como el hecho de que Bezos es el que en cierto modo está liquidando el periódico”, señala Juan Carlos Iragorri. En 2025, el número de suscriptores en versión impresa del Post cayó por debajo de los 100.000 por primera vez en 55 años. Como empresa privada, no ha querido revelar su número de suscriptores, aunque se cree que ronda los dos millones (versión impresa y digital). El medio también se niega a revelar el número de personas en su nómina, lo que hace imposible estimar cuántas personas fueron despedidas.

Today on the show we are going to discuss the complete gutting of the Washington Post, an American institution. The paper that broke Watergate. The paper that just nine years ago told the world “Democracy Dies in Darkness”.And we're going to place this latest news in the context of a much broader political assault on journalism, and the further consolidation of information in the hands of the billionaire class of Trump allies.Our guest today is Max Tani.

Part two of The Georgia Politics Podcast's special mini-series on the pivotal year of 1976 turns to one of the most influential — and still debated — Supreme Court decisions in American political history: Buckley v. Valeo. In this episode, we unpack how a post-Watergate push for campaign finance reform led to a constitutional showdown over the role of money in politics, and how the Court's ruling permanently reshaped the rules governing campaigns, candidates, and political advocacy. We walk through the origins of the case, beginning with Congress' sweeping reforms to the Federal Election Campaign Act, designed to curb corruption and restore public trust after Watergate. From there, we explain the legal challenge that followed, the arguments presented to the Court, and the reasoning behind the justices' complex, split decision. The episode breaks down the key distinctions the Court drew between contribution limits and expenditure limits, why one was upheld while the other was struck down, and how the ruling established the enduring doctrine that political spending is protected speech under the First Amendment. The discussion also connects the decision's immediate effects in the 1976 election cycle to its long tail in modern politics — from PACs and independent expenditures to later cases that built on Buckley's framework. Along the way, we highlight how these legal principles continue to influence campaign strategy, fundraising, and political messaging at both the national and Georgia state level. Whether you're a political history buff, a campaign law follower, or simply curious about how today's election finance system took shape, this episode provides clear context, practical explanations, and thoughtful analysis of a ruling that still defines the boundaries of money and political speech nearly 50 years later.

Bij de Washington Post denk je al snel aan de iconische berichtgeving van Bob Woodward en Carl Bernstein over het Watergateschandaal. Maar de laatste jaren rommelt het er en daarvoor wordt gewezen naar Amazon-eigenaar Jeff Bezos. Nu vliegen er ook nog eens driehonderd mensen uit bij de krant. Je hoort Amerika-correspondent Jan Postma.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reforms following Watergate strengthened the Justice Department's independence and restored public confidence. Now, amid the Trump administration's pressure on DOJ norms, polls show that half of Americans doubt that federal law enforcement is fair and impartial.

In this Bonus Episode Sebastian takes questions from listeners about the series on the original Ponzi Scheme. The host investigates the history of the expression "robbing Peter to pay Paul", locates early usages of the phrase "getting Ponzied", and muses about whether all expansionist empires are actually just big Ponzi Schemes. Sebastian also throws out a possible replacement for "Watergate" as the go-to synonym for a scandal.

According to the Jerusalem Post, the Department of Justice has removed files containing hundreds of mentions of US President Donald Trump from the latest wave of Epstein files documents that were released on Saturday. The removed files included descriptions of Trump sexually assaulting several women, some of them being underage. As it turns out, the Epstein Files Transparency Act is not so transparent after all. We'll have to file this episode under ‘Page Not Found', if you know, you know.“And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.” 2 Samuel 11:15 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, the Epstein Files are proving to be quite the ‘sticky wicket' for the Trump administration, but the real question is will it prove to be another Watergate, or even Waterloo? It is surprising for a president and his family who made the release of the Epstein Files such a foundational part of his reelection campaign to be floundering this badly with releasing the files. In this second batch release, which only stayed up for a mere 20 minutes, Donald Trump is mentioned hundreds of times in connection with some unbelievably heinous crimes involving underage girls. How is MAGA responding? By believing every allegation made against everyone mentioned in the Epstein Files except the ones concerning Trump. Party line sites like Fox News and Breitbart are dutifully not reporting on any of it, hoping for for quick war with Iran as a much-needed distraction. I was alive in the 1970's, and well remember the profound impact that the Watergate Coverup had on the American psyche, and how deeply it eroded public trust in our elected officials. The Epstein Files are bigger than Watergate, a hundred times bigger, and Trump's juggling act will only last for so long before the whole house of cards comes tumbling down. Good thing he has a War Department. Today we show you the Epstein Coverup, and how the Deep State intends to use it to to further their end times agenda.

When John Dean found his conscience, America found its backbone and impeached a president. The Nixon Administration tried to undermine American democracy during the election of 1972 through now-legendary dirty tricks aimed at their Democrat opponents. They almost got away with it. Dean was Nixon’s White House Counsel, and participated in the cover-up of the Watergate break-in. Then he began cooperating with investigators, and blew the case wide-open. Dean is one of the most complicated and fascinating characters in modern American history. In a frank and funny conversation with Alec Baldwin in front of a live audience, John Dean opens up about how it all went down – and how it could go down now under Trump, who he says shares Nixon's paranoia and authoritarian instincts.
