Today's Headlines: The EU is floating the idea of Canada becoming its first-ever associate member in response to Trump's trade war — which would be a historic geopolitical realignment — and separately proposed banning children under 13 from social media entirely across member states, with 13-15 year olds getting supervised mini accounts with one hour daily limits, Europe is actually doing the things we keep talking about doing. Back in the states, the Fed raised interest rates by a quarter point for the first time since 2023. As usual, markets fell, and Trump responded by demanding rates drop to 1% or less because "our country is booming," which is one way to describe $6 diesel and a $38 billion war. Congress had an unusually productive day: the House passed expanded Russia sanctions, voted to hold Leon Black in contempt for suing the committee that subpoenaed him rather than testifying about his Epstein ties, and the Senate blocked the crypto industry's self-written Clarity Act 50-49 — six votes short of passing — given the president's own ability to profit from crypto made it a tough sell even for some Republicans. Mitch McConnell returned for day two and nearly voted the wrong way on the farm bill before aides redirected him, which is either reassuring or alarming depending on how you look at it, but the bill passed and that's something. And Trump campaigned in North Carolina for Republican senate candidate Michael Whatley and told the crowd he would withhold FEMA disaster funding if Whatley loses, which is textbook extortion.

Trump lands in North Carolina to make one very clear pitch: pretend I'm on the ballot, because Michael Whatley basically is. The rally leans hard into crime, walking through the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Irina Zaretska and Governor Roy Cooper's early release of 3,500 inmates, before comparing it to the infamous Willie Horton ad that sank Dukakis decades ago. From there it's a full sweep of economic bragging rights, record stock market highs, a proposed $5,000 "Trump dividend," no tax on tips and Social Security, plus a candid Iran update covering their sunken navy and a Strait of Hormuz blockade. Congressional candidates Laurie Buck and Jennifer Balcomb get their moment too, alongside plenty of Hurricane Helene recovery talk and some classic crowd banter, including a "front row Joes" shoutout. Heavy on crime and border messaging, with the signature mix of policy wins and unscripted riffing throughout.

Federal Reserve votes unanimously to raise interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point, first hike since 2023 Fed Chair Kevin Warsh says, 'The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long.'

Lindsey Graham (R-SC); Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) accuses House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) of cancelling Thursday's legislative session,  sending Members home a day early to campaign for reelection, to avoid having to vote on Massie's resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war with Iran; Surgeon General Nominee Dr. Nicole Saphier at her Senate confirmation hearing is asked about President Trump questioning the safety of the MMR vaccine; Senate Agriculture Committee passes a 5-year Farm Bill with the crucial vote of Sen.

President Trump is now going all in on the midterms with his cash and his time. He hits the trail tonight in North Carolina to campaign with GOP Senate candidate Michael Whatley in his race against former Democratic Governor Roy Cooper. The visit underscores a crucial challenge for Whatley. He wants to tap into Trump's pull with the GOP base, but not alienate moderates and unaffiliated voters who could decide this incredibly important race. And Whatley is hardly alone in trying to thread the Trump endorsement needle.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

With Capt. Kirk out doing some family-style OSR, Capt. Kevin and Jeff called on Scott “Full-Time Part-Timer” Whatley to hang out with them.

Whatley nat ive Mickey Lindsey was honored on Sept. 4 when Pace (Fla.) High School named its the football field for him. Lindsey attended school in Grove Hill and coached 25 years at Pace, where family, friends and former players were on hand for the ceremony before the game against Choctawhatchee. Pace won 196 games, 10 district championships and advanced to three state semifinals under Lindsey.

I'm in Atlanta for Dragon Con, and normally that would give me a chance to see what the campaigns are putting on television. But I don't expect to see many political ads while I'm in the Peach State, because Georgia's Senate race wasn't supposed to look like this. It was supposed to be Brian Kemp against Jon Ossoff — a heavyweight fight if there ever was one. But Kemp didn't run; Mike Collins won the Republican primary, and plenty of Georgia Republicans really, really hate him. Ossoff has made himself more palatable and taken enough tough votes to argue that he'll side with Georgia when his party doesn't. I've been an Ossoff skeptic, but right now you can't argue with it. I think this race is a wrap.Republicans have two exceptionally weak Senate challengers in states where they should perform well: Collins in Georgia and Michael Whatley in North Carolina. I'll eat the L on Whatley because I thought he'd do better. I expected the environment to be bad for Republicans, but we've reached the point where nobody not named Donald Trump feels comfortable telling voters how awesome everything is. Trump's secret is that you always say it's awesome. Sometimes people believe you, sometimes they don't, but you can't have a parade unless somebody leads it. In Georgia, I think this race is wrapped. Ossoff will remain a senator.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

The revised order targeted alleged birth tourism, certain foreign-government employees, and people designated as alien enemies, but Judge Deborah Boardman said those categories barely resembled the exceptions previously recognized by the Supreme Court and found the order almost certainly unconstitutional. This is the Trump 2.0 philosophy: Get shots up. Push, push, push. Make judges knock it down, take it to the Supreme Court, and make the justices rule.I've tried to interrogate why I don't get as angry or worried about every one of these moves as other people do. Part of it is that there are so many of them, and I need to see how they rattle around before developing an emotional opinion. I'm willing to accept the criticism that I'm whistling while Rome burns, or while an arsonist fiddles with a matchbook. But the alternative is becoming a herky-jerky psychopath whose emotions are entirely controlled by the Trump administration. They decide when you're mad, sad, or happy because everything depends on their latest action. I don't want that, either.Finally, Hakeem Jeffries also got another preview of life with a narrow Democratic majority after Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez rescued a Republican procedural vote without warning him. Jeffries and Democratic leaders called it a serious breach of trust and sent the matter to a caucus committee, triggering backlash from progressives and centrists worried about uneven punishment and loyalty rules. If Democrats win a WINO majority — fewer than 15 seats — this will be Jeffries' life. Be careful what you wish for, Speaker Jeffries.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:45 - Georgia00:06:27 - Midterms with Bill Scher00:32:07 - Update00:34:33 - House of Representatives00:36:06 - Birthright Citizenship00:39:18 - Hakeem Jeffries00:40:46 - Midterms with Bill Scher, con't01:03:44 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Whatley begins his speech by arguing that former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper should be considered the worst governor in the state’s history.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the Michigan Democratic gubernatorial primary and Abdul El-Sayed's victory, arguing that El-Sayed has successfully positioned himself as both a political winner and a victim in the public narrative. Brett criticizes what he sees as a strategy of embracing grievance politics while celebrating electoral success, suggesting that it resonates with progressive voters and influential Democratic figures. He also discusses the defeats of other candidates, including Haley Stevens, and reflects on how the race signals a shift within the Democratic Party toward its more progressive wing. We're joined by Michael Whatley, chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina, to talk about the direction of the Democratic Party and the issues shaping the state's upcoming Senate race. Whatley argues that progressive policies promoted by national Democratic leaders are increasingly influencing North Carolina politics, and he criticizes former Governor Roy Cooper's record on taxes, education, public safety, and transgender-related legislation.

Join Jim and Greg for this special Monday 3 Martini Lunch, as they assess the state of the 2026 midterm elections, and give their currents outlooks for which party has the advantage in winning control of the Senate, the House of Representatives, and key governor's races.First, they look at the Senate. Republicans have a decent shot of holding their majority but it won't be easy. Jim and Greg point out the seat that Democrats will likely flip, the one Republicans might be able to flip, and the competitive races for several seats held by members of both parties.Next, they assess the House of Representatives. With midterm momentum seemingly with the Democrats and the GOP holding a very slim majority, the left would seem to have the advantage. But the mationwide redistricting wars seem to favor Republicans. Still, even if Republicans succeed in winning most of these newly drawn districts, keeping the majority is an uphill climb.Then, they examine several key governor's races, particularly in the traditional battleground states.Please visit our great sponsors:IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.  Use code 3ML at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/3MLHomeServeFor 50% less your first year, go to https://HomeServe.com/Martini to find the plan that's right for you.

We start with a gut-check question: are you where God wants you to be, doing what He made you to do, or have you buried something you were created to carry?Our guest, blues rock musician Andy Watley, shares a story that hits home for anyone juggling faith, family, and big decisions. Andy grows up with music and sports, chases football, builds a life, raises five kids, and spends years coaching and providing. But the gift never leaves. A single on-stage moment at a benefit reignites the calling, and what begins as a few shows with his sons turns into a new season of touring, songwriting, and unexpected opportunities, including sharing stages with major artists. Along the way, Andy gets real about the cost, the criticism, and a mistake he had to own at home: not communicating clearly with his wife when the dream started pulling him forward.We also talk practical discipleship, not just inspiration: how to listen for God's direction, how to handle naysayers, and why you do not need perfect conditions to take your first step. Ron closes with clear action steps you can start this week to move toward your purpose, serve others with your gifts, and trust Jesus with the outcome.

Whatley contends that Democratic leadership is primarily motivated by a unified hostility toward Donald Trump, leading them to obstruct initiatives that would otherwise benefit the American public.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Democrats and media (but I repeat myself) think they've got their "Cal Cunningham BBQ" moment in the US Senate race in North Carolina. After the Michael Whatley campaign tweeted a graphic in support of the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup Finals, a reporter asked him to name three players. Whatley said he liked the entire team. Outrage ensued. Oh! Also... the Twitter graphic had an AI-generated image of a hockey player. This is also an outrage to media. Oh! Also... if it were an actual picture of a Hurricanes player that would "raise questions" about whether the campaign had the legal right to use the image. This, too, is an outrage. If it happened. Which it didn't.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about invasive species and oversized spiders creeping into everyday life. He zeroes in on the growing spread of the Joro spider, a brightly colored arachnid that can grow as large as a human hand and has already been spotted across multiple states, including North Carolina and Georgia.

The conversation centers on the ongoing debate over voter ID laws and the SAVE Act, with Whatley arguing that widespread public support contrasts sharply with Democratic opposition.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Follow the Epstein Money The Epstein Transparency Act, which passed unanimously in the Senate after near-unanimous House approval. Buck breaks down what this means: once President Trump signs the bill, the Justice Department will have 30 days to release Jeffrey Epstein-related files. The discussion explores whether these disclosures will provide real answers or lead to further demands for transparency. Buck emphasizes the unanswered question of Epstein’s billion-dollar fortune and the suspicious financial transactions flagged by JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank. He argues that following the money is key to uncovering the truth. Clay Calls in from Italy Clay calls from Rome and shares details of his mission: delivering an invitation for the Pope to throw out the first pitch at a future Chicago White Sox game, a unique gesture tied to the team’s new ownership and stadium plans. This segment blends sports, faith, and global intrigue, making it a must-hear for fans of both baseball and world affairs. A Critical Race in NC Buck welcomes Michael Whatley, former RNC Chair and current candidate for U.S. Senate in North Carolina. Whatley details the fallout from Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of legislation requiring sheriffs to honor ICE detainers, which has led to a surge in illegal immigration and crime. They discuss shocking statistics, including 21,000 students absent from Charlotte schools in one day due to immigration enforcement fears, and over 200 arrests of criminal illegal aliens in recent ICE operations. Whatley warns of the massive financial burden on state resources—from Medicaid to education—and contrasts his tough-on-crime stance with Cooper’s record of vetoing tax cuts, police pay raises, and bills protecting women’s sports. He predicts the North Carolina Senate race will be the most expensive in U.S. history, with Democrats pouring in hundreds of millions to flip the seat. The Misled Boss Babes Buck dives into a Pew Research study on marriage trends among Gen Z, revealing that only 61% of 12th-grade girls want to marry compared to 74% of boys. He critiques cultural messaging that promotes “boss babe” ideology and hookup culture, arguing it misleads young women and undermines long-term happiness. Buck contrasts this with a resurgence of traditional values among young men, who increasingly reject toxic masculinity narratives and embrace leadership, family, and faith. He calls for a cultural reset that prioritizes stable family formation and meaningful relationships over superficial social media-driven dating norms.
