Podcasts about Weigel

Send us Fan MailJames Weigel is a journeyman musician.  He devotes much of his time working at the local music shop, Flatts and Sharpe, teaching students on a variety of instruments.  He then also spends a great deal of time performing for various venues throughout Chicago.  These venues range from the local watering hole to more listening friendly rooms.  Those lucky enough to be able to listen to Weigel's songs will be struck by the thorough work he puts into each word he chooses for a lyrical phrase.  Not trying to be clever, but done with a sincere outlook on his path in life and his own observations of the world he lives in.  Inspired by other great songwriters, like Willie Nelson and Woody Guthrie, Weigel's songs have that beautiful weight of words in every line.  Those words are straightforward and simple, but in total create a song that can pack an emotional and thought-provoking punch.  Like many independent singer-songwriters, Weigel has almost an aversion to the notion of pursuing fame and notoriety.  He instead seeks out playing for those willing to listen to his words and songcraft.  In this interview, Weigel touches on how he goes about creating songs and how his melodies can be first or last depending on the situation.  Great insight and advice from someone who is naturally a performer and, lucky enough for students in Chicago, naturally a teacher. His websites are: https://www.ensembleschools.com/flatts-and-sharpe/staff/james-weigel/https://www.facebook.com/JamesWeigelUnderTheFloorboardsMusic/Support the showWe are always grateful to have you listening to STRUNG OUT.    Here are some important links:SUPPORT THE SHOW:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/MartyfineaKMARTIN'S WEBSITE:http://www.MARTINMcCORMACK.COM  (note---you can get my weekly bulletin when you sign up on the list!)MARTIN'S MUSIC: Music | Martin Laurence McCormack (bandcamp.com)Martin McCormack | SpotifyMARTIN'S YOUTUBE CHANNELMartin McCormack - YouTubeFACEBOOKFacebook...

What does it mean to be holy in America? In this podcast, Marc Barnes and Reuben Slife discuss the newest release from New Polity Press: America in the Mystery of Christ and the Church by David L. Schindler, available now at newpolity.com/books. David L. Schindler, for forty years editor of the American edition of the international theological journal Communio (founded by Joseph Ratzinger, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Henri de Lubac), devoted much of his career to a theological analysis of American culture. In the 1980s and '90s, he carried on a high-profile debate on the question with George Weigel, Michael Novak, and Fr. Richard John Neuhaus. Until now, however, none of his books has focused directly on the topic. "America in the Mystery of Christ and the Church" brings together Schindler's key writings on American culture, presenting his profound and multi-faceted thought in full. It contains a complete chronology-bibliography of his works on America and of the debate with Neuhaus, Novak, and Weigel. In addition, an extensive, original Critical Introduction gives a synthesis of his thought, with special attention to the theme of holiness and to the easily-overlooked positivity of his pursuit: to purify, in Christ, the uniqueness and gifts of the United States.

Send us Fan MailWhen James Weigel left his home in Metamora, Illinois for Chicago, he brought along his central Illinois, no-nonsense rural outlook on life and choosing a musical path.  Central Illinois is rich in great musical traditions--from REO Speedwagon to Alison Krauss to the late Dan Fogelberg.  Weigel draws from that tradition and has made a home for himself up north, while keeping that downstate sense of steadfast determination to make his music work for him.  An avid player of many stringed instruments, Weigel by day can be found at the northside musical temple of Flatts and Sharpe (where Martin bought his first bass guitar) providing lessons, participating in occasional sessions and having a finger on the pulse of the local performing venues.  His network of venues varies from the local watering holes to listening rooms.  Weigel's songs are also varied for the occasion, fitting easily into the neighborhood setting without compromising any of his integrity.  The result is a man who can travel but chooses to make his neighborhood his castle keep for his musical ambitions.  Excellent song crafting and musicianship guarantees that this farm boy from Metamora is not casting his musical pearls to any swine any time soon.Learn more about James by visiting:https://www.ensembleschools.com/flatts-and-sharpe/staff/james-weigel/https://www.facebook.com/JamesWeigelUnderTheFloorboardsMusic/Support the showWe are always grateful to have you listening to STRUNG OUT.    Here are some important links:SUPPORT THE SHOW:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/MartyfineaKMARTIN'S WEBSITE:http://www.MARTINMcCORMACK.COM  (note---you can get my weekly bulletin when you sign up on the list!)MARTIN'S MUSIC: Music | Martin Laurence McCormack (bandcamp.com)Martin McCormack | SpotifyMARTIN'S YOUTUBE CHANNELMartin McCormack - YouTubeFACEBOOKFacebook...

We are approaching the longest government shutdown in American history with no end in sight. But it seems like this is exactly what the Trump administration wants. How much longer can this go on? We are joined by David Weigel from Semafor to discuss the damage of the shutdown and how the White House believes it's winning this fight. Weigel examines how the Trump administration seems to be disconnected from reality over the state of the economy despite concerns over tariffs, the cost of living, and, of course, the $300-million ballroom Trump is building after demolishing the East Wing of the White House.  Plus, with 70% of Americans believing that the Democrats are out of touch, how does the party fix their broken image? Could a change in leadership be the answer Americans are looking for? READ David Weigel in Semafor: https://www.semafor.com/author/david-weigel

Chuck Todd begins by surveying the electoral landscape for the midterms after six months of Trump's presidency. He argues that gerrymandering could potentially backfire on both parties, highlights the advantages each party has heading into the midterms and why Democrats may not find a coherent message until the presidential primary produces a candidate.Semafor reporter Dave Weigel joins Chuck for a comprehensive analysis of how dramatically American politics has shifted since Trump's first term, revealing a Democratic Party still searching for its identity after its first failed presidency since Carter. Weigel argues that both parties have fundamentally transformed over the past eight years, with Democrats struggling to move beyond the failed Obama coalition strategy while grappling with divisive issues like trans rights and immigration that have left them "walking on eggshells" and lacking coherent, united positions. The conversation explores how the country has moved rightward as a backlash to Biden, why Republicans are acting like a party that believes it can't lose, and whether Democrats' overreaction to Trump prevented them from developing substantive policy frameworks on key issues voters actually care about.The discussion dives deep into the strategic challenges facing both parties, from the left's perceived "softness" on cultural issues to the sustainability of Trump's gains with Latino voters in states like Nevada and Texas. Weigel examines why the fight for trans rights has proven more politically costly than the gay marriage battle, how urban voters' flirtation with socialism doesn't translate beyond coastal cities, and whether rising stars like Michigan's Mike Duggan can bridge the gap between metro Detroit and rural areas. Looking ahead to 2026 and 2028, they analyze the emerging Republican primary landscape with potential matchups between J.D. Vance and Rand Paul, why so many Democrats are eyeing Iowa's Senate race despite the party's broader retreat from the state, and how the changing media landscape—from podcasts to new campaign infrastructure—will reshape how candidates connect with voters in an increasingly fragmented political environment.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment!Timeline: (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction02:45 Taking the pulse of the midterm elections after 6 months of Trump04:15 There are only 25-30 seats up for grabs in the house05:00 Gerrymandering could backfire for both parties05:45 Democrats' advantages in a midterm election07:30 The “out” party is more motivated to vote in midterms09:00 The Republican party is more unified than past midterms in Trump era11:00 House Republicans are outraising Dems in most vulnerable districts12:45 Far less unity in the Democratic party now compared to 201714:15 Since 90', Democrats winning the midterms led to winning the presidency16:30 The presidential primary may help the Democrats cohere 19:30 Dave Weigel joins the Chuck ToddCast! 21:30 Similarities/differences in political landscape between 2017 & 2025? 22:45 The parties are very different compared to 8 years ago 24:15 Democrats had their first failed presidency since Carter 26:45 Democrats could learn the wrong lessons from a successful midterm 29:00 Democrats tried to replicate the Obama coalition and failed 31:00 The media and campaign infrastructure are completely different now 32:30 Battle over trans rights has Democrats flailing 34:30 Democrats are walking on eggshells over immigration 35:30 Democrats don't have clear, united positions on major issues 38:00 Voters want tight border security, but not mass deportations 40:30 Democrats believed they could make Trump "never happen again" 43:00 Dems overreacted to Trump, didn't have coherent immigration policy 44:00 The country has moved right as a backlash to Biden 45:30 Republicans acting like a party that thinks they can't lose 48:00 The left is seen as soft, is trans rights the issue creating that perception? 50:00 Trump has forced the conversation on immigration 52:00 The fight for gay marriage vs fight for trans rights 53:45 Why hasn't the gender rights fight been punted to states? 55:15 Trump endorsed gay marriage before Hilary Clinton 57:15 Both parties demonstrated hubris on gay marriage/gender rights 58:30 Voters care more about immigration than trans rights 1:00:30 Urban voters are more willing to flirt with socialism, not transferrable 1:01:30 Will Democrats distance themselves from Mamdani? 1:02:45 Dem socialists get dinged for cultural issues, not economics 1:04:00 Cost of living is biggest issue in big coastal cities, not as salient in other places 1:05:45 Michigan will be a bellwether for Democratic politics 1:07:15 Nevada and Texas will show whether Latino swing toward Trump sustains 1:11:00 How many Bernie voters would have come out in Michigan? 1:14:00 Will Mike Duggan work outside of the metro Detroit area? 1:16:30 When Trump isn't on the ballot, Democrats sweep Michigan 1:17:45 Will lack of Republican infighting boost the party in midterms? 1:21:00 Republicans haven't found "sweet spot" candidates in some races 1:22:30 Ability to appear on podcasts will matter for candidates 1:23:45 Any R's on 2028 trail besides Paul and Youngkin? 1:25:30 A tight primary race between Vance & Paul wouldn't be surprising 1:27:15 Why are so many Democrats interested in running for Iowa senate? 1:30:00 Kim Reynolds not running after DeSantis endorsement 1:31:30 Democrats surrendered Iowa and Florida 1:33:00 Favorite state fair food?1:36:45 Chuck's thoughts on interview with Dave Weigel 1:37:30 Ask Chuck 1:37:45 How were so many people duped by Trump? 1:45:45 Why does the US give such unconditional support to Israel? 1:54:25 Why doesn't Virginia produce politicians with a large national profile? 2:01:15 Why can states call a redistricting session on a whim? 2:04:45 Why wouldn't a constitutional convention be incredibly risky?

The university is uniquely Catholic in its origin, and yet currently, higher level education on elite campuses is a “red-hot mess,” according to George Weigel. In this episode, Andrew Petiprin sits down with George Weigel to discuss academia and the intellectual life, not simply as a theoretical enterprise left for those who dwell in an ivory tower, but as driver of culture and social life. They discuss the role of the Church in academia, the scholarly legacy of Pope St. John Paul II, the importance fighting the culture war, and the troubles facing the Western civilization. These topics are also the focus of Weigel's most recent book “Pomp, Circumstance, and Unsolicited Advice: Commencement Addresses and University Lectures,” where he tells students that true academic learning is carrying on the great Catholic tradition.   Get Your Copy of “Pomp, Circumstance, and Unsolicited Advice”: https://ignatius.com/pomp-circumstance-and-unsolicited-advice-pcap/?searchid=2246581&search_query=pomp+circumstance   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

In this episode of "Find Your Finish Line," I sit down with Paul Weigel, a six-time IRONMAN finisher and author of the inspiring book "Iron Dad: A Cancer Survivor's Story of Discovering Strength, Life, and Love Through Fatherhood." Paul shares his incredible journey of being diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer at the age of 43 and how he continued to compete in triathlons, even completing a half IRONMAN with a chemotherapy backpack. His story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the power of love, especially the bond between a father and his daughter. Paul opens up about the emotional and physical challenges he faced, from the initial shock of his diagnosis to the grueling treatments and surgeries. He emphasizes the importance of early detection and regular screenings, sharing how his athletic mindset helped him push through the toughest times. Paul also discusses the evolution of his book's title from "Cancer Blinked" to "Iron Dad," reflecting his journey from battling cancer to building a lasting legacy for his daughter, Natalie. This episode is not just about overcoming cancer; it's about finding strength in the face of adversity and the importance of having a plan. Paul's story is a powerful reminder to keep moving forward, no matter the obstacles.

It's Monday! Sam and Emma are joined by Dave Weigel, politics writer at Semafor, author of the "Americana" newsletter to preview the first round of major elections after the Trump/Musk regime's DOGE overhaul. First, they run through updates on Trump's tariffs, a return of stagflation, the rejection of Mike Waltz, the conviction of Marine Le Pen, DOGE's Social Security crash, RFK's gutting of infection disease and HIV/AIDS policy, Tesla protests, Tesla fires, Iran's response to Trump, and the Senate GOP's budget push, before expanding on Trump's authoritarian crackdown on migrants and watching Elon attempt to rally a Wisconsin crowd of sycophants. Dave Weigel then joins, reflecting on the rapid radicalization of the race for the last seat Wisconsin Supreme Court since the injection of over $20 million of Elon Musk's money, going from the culmination of a decade-long battle by Wisconsin Democrats to break down the GOP gerrymander to a full-scale (in Elon's words) battle for the “future of civilization.” After expanding on the more personal stakes Elon Musk has in the makeup of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and why, despite that, the messaging has almost entirely centered on supporting Trump's agenda, Weigel, Sam, and Emma shift to the upcoming special elections in Florida, as they unpack the fear the GOP is facing over their dwindling margins over the last few months, highlighting some particularly brutal campaigning from Democrat Josh Weil against “unhinged,” “anti-American” Randy Fine, and the importance of tying the Right to Musk's anti-Medicaid, anti-Social Security agenda. Wrapping up, Dave touches on the potential GOP response if these margins continue to shrink, and how DOGE has allowed them to change their messaging. And in the Fun Half: Emma tackles the Trump/Musk agenda of boosting the immigration of *white* South Africans to the US, unpacks the Working Family Party's endorsement of four candidates for New York City Mayor, and watches Zohran Mamdani continue to absolutely nail his messaging campaign. The MR Team also touches on Vivian Wilson's appearance with Hasan, growing regret from MAGA-voting federal workers, before taking a few calls to unpack Trump's Greenland push, the devastating impact of Trump's authoritarian crackdown on DACA Dreamers, and Canada's Mark Carney, plus, your IMs!

Today is the beginning of the Tangle team's “spring break.” As part of fostering work-life balance and also assuring our small team can survive the nonstop stream of news, I give our staff three breaks a year: one during August recess when Congress is out, one between Christmas and New Year's, and one in March — a “spring break.”Our March break begins today. The team is taking full advantage of it — we're spread out from Japan to West Texas, taking vacation or recharging at home. However, as our team has grown, so too has our capacity to provide some content while we take breaks like this. So this week, in lieu of a newsletter, we are going to be sharing a series of podcast episodes that we didn't get a chance to publish in the deluge of news these past few weeks.The first is with Dave Weigel, a reporter at Semafor. Weigel is one of my favorite journalists. Whenever I check in on his Twitter feed or read his updates in Semafor, I get the sense that he is fair-minded and critical of all his subjects regardless of their politics. On top of letting his personality shine through in his writing, he's also well-sourced, level-headed, and forward-thinking. So, when he agreed to chat with me about the first couple months of the Trump administration, where Congress is headed, and how voters are reacting to all this, I was thrilled.

The incoming Trump administration has started announcing some of the picks for the incoming Cabinet. Somehow, they're worse than you could have imagined. We break down some of the unsavory characters who might be making policy in Trump's second term with political reporter for Semafor, David Weigel. Weigel also explains how the right wing media ecosystem has moved away from TV and onto the internet. Right wing and right wing-adjacent programming is dominating YouTube and podcasts. How did they build such a network? And how do Democrats counterprogram those voices?Read Weigel's latest for Semafor: https://www.semafor.com/author/david-weigelSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Dave Weigel, politics writer at Semafor, author of the "Americana" newsletter just one day out from the 2024 election. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on final-day swing state polling, the lingering impact of Trump's fascist rally at MSG, the electoral drag of Harris' support for genocide, RFK's fluoride attack, Israel's banning of UNRWA and enforced starvation in Gaza, and the NYT Tech Guild strike, before touching on Trump's ongoing deterioration and Mike Johnson's wild slip-up over the CHIPs Act. Dave Weigel then joins, diving right into the major Selzer poll out of Iowa, what it shows us regarding Harris' overwhelming support from women, and what this poll (and others) can tell us about the success of Harris' voter outreach across swing states. Weigel, Sam, and Emma also parse through the numbers behind early voting, why Democrats aren't particularly pressed about them, and the evolving constituency of independent voters, before touching on the GOP's GOTV fiasco – led by Elon Musk and Charlie Kirk. After briefly reflecting on the lingering impact of Trump's Bund rally at MSG, they get into a preview of the Senate fight, what the best/worst case scenarios are for Dems and Republicans across the Presidency, House, and Senate, and what particular races might act as bellwethers for the greater election. Sam also highlights a John Oliver segment on Georgia Rep. Ruwa Romman's comments on voting for Harris. And in the Fun Half: Emma talks with Greg from Massachusetts about down-ballot voting and the secret men for Harris vote, dives deep into the context for and meaning behind Selzer's Iowa poll (with some added commentary from Trump and, later on, Jeff from Iowa), and Tim from Chicago asks about the election night timeline. Tucker reflects on wrestling with his demons (and losing), RFK Jr. sets his sights on fluoride, and Steve Doocy can't quite put his finger on why women don't like Trump, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Emma speaks with Dave Weigel, politics writer at Semafor, author of the "Americana" newsletter, to discuss the biggest headlines of the week. Then, she speaks with comedian Francesca Fiorentini, host of the Bitchuation Room! First, Emma runs through updates on Israel's bombing of dense residential areas of Beirut and continuing war crimes at home and in Gaza, Harris' attempt to court Latino voters, Obama's attempt to court young black men, Trump's legal woes, Florida's power issues, voter registration in Florida and Georgia, Boeing's anti-labor action, and TD Bank's record-breaking money laundering fine, before parsing a little deeper into Trump decision to shit on the biggest city in a major swing state over… NATO tax rates? Dave Weigel then joins, diving right into the state of the US presidential race in major swing states like Arizona, highlighting Harris' recent pivot away from emphasizing a populist agenda towards vague bipartisan grandstanding with the few anti-Trump Republicans left while unpacking the positives (and negatives) of this approach electorally. Expanding on this, Dave and Emma parse through the polling numbers on high- and low-/mid-propensity voters – touching on Trump's particular ability to turn out that ladder group – and why Harris' strong numbers with newly registered voters is a major plus, before turning to the comparisons between the Dem's 2024 campaign and those in 2012 and 2016, and why the former – thankfully – might be the more accurate one. After touching on the evolution of Harris' messaging game post-convention, Weigel dives deep into the GOP's own insane choices for their messaging campaign – including a reliance on the ever-inconsistent Elon Musk and Turning Points – and what to make of their ongoing push for an anti-trans agenda despite its lack of electoral salience in the past, wrapping up the interview by assessing the dearth of a direct response to Republican narratives on crime, immigration, and trans rights, and what that vacuum in the Democratic messaging campaign might mean come November. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Bradley watch Jesse Watters put on an enchanting display of toxic masculinity with Stephen Miller, dive a little deeper into the absurdity of the Trump messaging campaign (with some help from JD Vance), and highlight the continued strength of Greta Thunberg's unapologetic anti-colonial activism.

We're getting closer and closer to the election. And a lot of weird stuff has been happening. Our guest this week points out that Trump has been going “all in” for the “weird vote,” by choosing JD Vance as his running mate and elevating figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Dave Weigel covers politics and writes the “Americana” newsletter for Semafor. He's written about how the Trump-Vance coalition has aimed to cobble together contrarians, dissidents, conspiracy theorists and people who are distrustful of the so-called establishment into a majority coalition. Weigel joins WITHpod to discuss paranoid-esque low trust thinking at the core of the Republican Party base, Trump elevating figures from niche anti-establishment circles and what this all means in such a contentious election. Chris' latest book, “The Siren's Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource,” is now available for preorder. Read about it and preorder by visiting sirenscallbook.com.  

Today, we are joined by Josh Weigel, writer and director of “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot.” Josh shares the inspiring journey behind the making of the film and his personal experience as a father of adopted children. The film follows Donna and Rev. W.C. Martin, a couple who led the charge of adopting children in their town of Possum Trot, Texas. Their efforts sparked a movement, and soon their entire town followed suit. Josh delves into how meeting the real people behind Possum Trot inspired him to create the film and what the lives of these families look like now. He also discusses some of the significant issues in the foster care system, including how some left-leaning states limit the rights of Christian parents to adopt. Join us as we explore what can be done to make positive changes in the foster care system and support families who are willing to open their homes to children in need.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Dave Weigel, author of the "Americana" newsletter at Semafor, to discuss the groundbreaking news from yesterday that President Biden will be dropping out of the presidential race, and endorsing Vice President Harris. First Sam and Emma run through updates on Biden's candidacy, Trump's nomination, Harris' rapid fundraising efforts and endorsements, the Trump assassination attempt, Netanyahu's upcoming address to Congress, Israel's offensive on Yemen, and the NLRB, before diving into the supposed plan for an “open convention” come the DNC, watching Kamala Harris' first speech since this weekend's news, and unpacking some of Harris' major pitfalls. Dave Weigel then joins, as he looks to the GOP side of things, walking Sam and Emma through the last few weeks of Republican whiplash, from the post-debate euphoria from Biden's failure, through the supposed electoral boost that was the assassination attempt, and to the seeming state of panic around Biden's dropout and the fact they now have to pivot to Harris. After expanding on the surprisingly minimal impact of the Trump assassination on the race, Dave explores what a Kamala Harris nomination could do to change the narrative of the Democrats' gerontocracy, what to expect from the convention come August, and how to make sense of the small-D democracy of it all. Weigel, Sam, and Emma also discuss reactions from the press and major media players, how Biden's move will shape down-ballot elections going forward, and why most of the GOP talking points against Harris are winning issues for Democrats. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch the conservative establishment from Fox News to Donald Trump to Elon Musk all come together to scream “coup” and “fraud” over Biden's decision to step down, despite their supposed opinion on his senility. Morning Joe unpacks the turn in the Biden campaign's approach to dropping out, another Dave Rubin prediction comes back to haunt him, and figures from the UAW to the VP reject Netanyahu's upcoming address to Congress, plus, your calls and IMs!

Jordan and Tammy Peterson sit down with the screenwriter and director behind “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot,” Joshua Weigel and the real life inspirations for the film, Bishop and Donna Martin. They discuss the presumption of understanding, parsing out falsehood from a message from God, how compassion spreads through giving, the miracle of adoption, and how the film came to be through hardship and grace. Joshua Weigel is an award-winning filmmaker with a unique ability to create deeply moving stories that transform and inspire action.  Josh began working closely with his wife, Rebekah, writing and producing award winning short films which he directed, culminating with what has become one of the most beloved short films of all-time, The Butterfly Circus, a viral phenomenon receiving over 100 million views, and garnering over 35 film festival awards, including the Clint Eastwood Filmmaker Award presented to Joshua by Clint Eastwood at the Carmel Film Festival. Bishop and Donna Martin run the church of Possum Trot in East Texas, where they along with the families of the community have taken in seventy-seven children through adoption. Their story is one of struggle and triumph, compassion and resolve. It was brought to film and to the world through Angel Studios and the Daily Wire.  - Links - Buy Tickets to “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot”  https://www.angel.com/tickets/sound-of-hope-the-story-of-possum-trot?utm_source=google-ads&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwkJm0BhBxEiwAwT1AXNLKBwIwZgec8P6mId1nHLkQiJLyUWRUSU6RfngcU_rdJtWuStXtgxoCTpAQAvD_BwE “Sound of Hope” website https://www.angel.com/movies/sound-of-hope-the-story-of-possum-trot Press and Cast information https://www.angel.com/press/sound-of-hope-the-story-of-possum-trot 

Glenn and Stu further break down Biden's mental decline as more Democrats are allegedly waking up to the issues the elderly president has. Glenn talks about the importance of freedom of speech and its ability to hold back a radical government. Missouri AG Andrew Bailey joins to discuss his lawsuit against New York City regarding allegedly interfering with the 2024 presidential election. Glenn accuses the Democrats of engaging in "alcoholic behavior" with their destructive habits. "Sound of Hope" director, producer, and writer Joshua Weigel joins to discuss the true story of an East Texas church that adopted 77 foster care children. Glenn and Stu discuss the breaking NY Times story that Biden told an ally he is considering discontinuing his campaign. StoryCorps founder Dave Isay joins to announce his new venture that forces people with conflicting ideologies to have civil discussions. Glenn reads through the Declaration of Independence ahead of the Fourth of July weekend.
