Our government disappeared hundreds of Venezuelans to a hellish Salvadoran prison for 125 days. When Trump's and Stephen Miller's whole CECOT plan even became too much for the dictator who runs El Salvador, Marco Rubio helped orchestrate a political win for Venezuela's strongman, Nicolas Maduro—who gets to look like a white knight in the hostage exchange. Meanwhile, the administration still has not recovered from its rake-step claim that there was no Epstein list. Did Bondi release her memo because the 1,000 FBI personnel who were made to review the Epstein documents kept finding Trump's name? Cover-ups are hard. Plus, now the Dems have new reasons to not cooperate with Republicans. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. show notes Tim and Sam's livestream after Andry and the other Venezuelans were released from CECOT Bill and Sarah discuss the Epstein timeline for 'Bulwark on Sunday' Rep.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the strange yet unsurprising news of President Donald Trump asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy if Ukraine is capable of striking Moscow to which Zelenskyy responded "Absolutely We can if you give us more weapons." This news comes after the clearly blackmailed President Trump who recently was nominated by Benjamin Netanyahu for the Nobel Peace Prize was caught on audio from 2024 saying he threatened to bomb Moscow as well as Beijing. Adding this recent news to the fact that Trump armed Israel with hellfire missiles to preemptively strike Iran (one of Russia and China's top allies) leading to a major conflict which was manufactured, it's clear the administration is going the way of the neocon, by design. Trump is also demanding NATO pay for much of the US weapons going into Ukraine to strike Russia. This is a direct attack on Russia itself and considering Germany has already declared war on Russia and Germany, Denmark, the UK, Ireland, France, Canada and the US have written conscription rules into law, it's clear we are on the brink of World War 3 just as Trump had run against. When Trump was asked alongside Mark Rutte, the head of NATO and former leader of the Netherlands what weapons will be sent to Ukraine via NATO, he responded, "It's everything... All of them. It's a full compliment." Meanwhile, Russia has turned down Trump's 50 day ceasefire ultimatum. In other news, Israel has struck Syria as they rid the country of anyone that opposes their rule. The new HTS leader of Syria which Israel planted, Jolani has already waged war on Alawites, Sunnis and Christians in the region. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Guest host Brad Smith and the panel of: Brad Bradford, Toronto city councillor for Beaches - East York Mark Saunders, former Toronto police chief, mayoral candidate Discuss: 1.RCMP charges military members with trying to create 'anti-government militia' and seize land: Does this plot prove Canada's top terror threat is home-grown, anti-government extremists, not foreign jihadists? 2. As Toronto teen lay dying, witness says the West Park Healthcare Centre ignored cries for help: Teen was shot, but died while the person who called 9-1-1 waited 6 mins and 43 seconds before the call was answered, how do we stop this pattern? Should a publicly funded healthcare centre be allowed to keep its doors shut to a bleeding teen because it “isn't an ER”? Do health-care staff have a moral (or legal) duty to give first aid outside the building? 3.Trump shrugs off questions over Epstein memo, calling them ‘a desecration': The Justice Department now says it won't release any more Epstein files, do you think there's more than meets the eye here? Case closed or a cover up? When Trump and Elon broke up one of the first things Elon did was say Trump was on the client list, but now there is no list? 4.Toronto police says it's reviewing this year's AFROFEST after arrests made and safety concerts raised: Two years in a row, third times the charm? What will it take to get it right next time? Police said they expected around 22,000 people but more than 30,000 showed up, what was the actual cap on people allowed to attend the event?

In today's installment of headline news, Tim and Mary take a look at the continued quest by Islam to rule and reign, especially in the West. Immigration is only a part of the tale, because the end game is vast and if we didn't have the peace of Christ, we might just be alarmed. But the world, the political factions, should be very afraid; perhaps the media is waking up to what is at stake. When Trump went after Iran, could anyone be so naive as to think there wouldn't be ramifications beyond protecting Israel? Two sides of the same coin should tell us that Trump poked a hornet's nest and Iran is going to show its fury at some point, the complexity of the Middle East should tell us that. Meanwhile, the NYC dem is under a vast microscope, being that he is a "twelver" - part of Islamic eschatological thought. Will America get Islamic politicians across the fruited plain? That's what Islam is hoping for. Texas was just the beginning. We also discuss earth religion and more. Not as the world gives, the peace of Christ is beyond understanding.

Ep 343 of RevolutionZ has Gene Bruskin, long time and many issues, labor organizer to discuss workers' responses to rising fascism, our current predicaments and our potential paths forward.Why does America's labor movement struggle to mount a unified response to authoritarianism, one for all and all for one? How did post-WWII labor structures intentionally divide workers by union and industry, creating what Bruskin calls a system "structured to divide ourselves"? Why do significant segments of working people support Trump despite his anti-worker policies? Bruskin challenges simplistic explanations, arguing that economic desperation combined with Democrats' unwillingness to confront billionaires and inequality created an opening for "phony populism." When Trump says "I feel your pain" while Democrats offer only rhetoric, many desperate workers took a chance on the disruptor.We also discuss Bruskin's post-retirement work creating political musicals about working-class history and struggle. His productions about Reconstruction and the abolitionist, John Brown, act on his belief that cultural resistance is essential for movement-building. Bruskin says, "We couldn't have won the civil rights movement if people couldn't be singing 'We Shall Not Be Moved' while they were being hauled to jail." Bruskin leaves us with a powerful metaphor from a banquet waiter who, when pressured to give a senator special treatment and dismissively asked if he didn't know who the Senator was, responds: "Do you know who I am? I'm the guy who gives out the bread and butter." This encapsulated Bruskin's point: working people must recognize their collective power. As he put it: "Do you need the boss, or does the boss need you?"Support the show
When Trump appointed Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court in 2020, he thought she was an easy right-wing vote. An analysis shows she's “showing signs of leftward drift.” For the first time, LA restaurants have earned three Michelin stars. Somni, in West Hollywood, and Providence, on Melrose, both now have the highest honor a restaurant can receive. Three spicy condiments that are easy to make, easy to eat, and don't require canning are candied jalpeños, shatta, and Korean soy sauce pickles. Critics review the latest film releases: “F1,” “M3GAN 2.0,” “Sorry, Baby,” and “Familiar Touch.”
When Trump said "unconditional surrender," he meant it. Trump walks away to let Israel finish the job. If all goes smoothly, it could realign the Middle East for a generation.

Donald Trump's new Commission on Religious Liberty met last week for the first time.When Trump signed the executive order in May establishing the group, he marked the occasion by saying, "We're bringing religion back to our country, and it's a big deal."But isn't the separation of church and state guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution? Can the president just "forget about it" even once? We discuss the complicated answer.Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions?

KITM AV department intern David Waldman hopes to get a break from all of his breaks soon, but there's always something... ICE is SAD! Wherever the ICE men goeth, tragedy strikes… them. Beating immigrants while cosplaying as ISIS hasn't captured the hearts of Americans like they hoped. Detainees start whining after only days of being held without charges, some even skip out without even a “thank you”. The constant bruising of ICE agent knees on Hispanic testicles has become an almost untenable occupational hazard. And now, elected officials are almost everywhere, clogging the treads of the boots of justice, as if voters elected them to do things like that! Can't people see their guns? Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom fights tyranny with guerrilla trolling. We should be so glad that Trump's two weeks never finish. When Trump says, “two weeks”, he means “never”. When he says, “90 days”, he means “forever”. The day that Donald has truly been waiting for, is that day he won't be expected to give an update.
The Democrats are rioting and showing that they have learned nothing from the 2024 elections. Americans support getting rid of criminal illegal aliens. When Trump sent in law enforcement to handle the deportations, radical leftists began protesting... in favor of the criminals! Democrats are now protesting ICE raids and actually supporting the criminals. The media are downplaying the riots, arrests, and violence, while looting hits Los Angeles and other cities. #BobbyEberle #Army250 #ICEriots
Authoritarianism can't happen here, you say. Look around. Open your eyes. No one is safe. Dissent is being criminalized. People are being arrested without due process. When Trump was asked if it was his job to uphold the Constitution, he said, "I don't know." Claudia de la Cruz says, “Trump and his cabinet full of billionaires are waging an all-out war on our communities. From slashing thousands of jobs to massively defunding critical programs that many working-class people rely on to survive. At this critical moment, we can't simply lie down and allow his administration to roll back all the rights that our people's movements have won. Now is the time to organize our communities and stand up to fight back!” In these dark times, we cannot be bystanders. We must resist and imagine and create a new world where peace, equality, dignity and justice are the norm. Recorded at KGNU.

The Washington Monthly called him as “one of America's most important journalists.” The Portland Oregonian said his work equals the original muckrakers: Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair and Lincoln Steffens. Johnston met Donald Trump in 1988 and in April 1990 revealed that Trump's was no billionaire. When Trump announced his latest run for the White House in June 2015, Johnston was the only nationally-known journalist who immediately said Trump was serious this time and might get the GOP nomination. His reporting over the next year led to the Making of Donald Trump, published around the world in English and German on August 2, 2016, by Melville House. The San Jose Mercury recruited Johnston when he was just 18 years old because of his reporting for two small weekly newspapers in Santa Cruz, Calif. At age 19 The Mercury hired him as a staff writer. Within weeks his byline made the front page. Over the next four decades his award-winning investigations appeared in that paper, the Detroit Free Press, Los Angeles Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times. Since 2009 Johnston has taught the business regulation, property and tax law of the ancient world at Syracuse University College of Law. He previously taught writing, reporting and magazine writing at the University of Southern California and UCLA Extension. He has lectured on four continents about journalistic techniques, ethics, legal theory and tax policy. Join us Thursday's at 8EST for our Weekly Happy Hour Hangout!

When Trump told Zelensky he didn't hold any of the cards, what he didn't know was the Zelensky actually had an entire Royal Flush up his sleeve and that he was demonstrating a rather brilliant Poker Face. Last week Ukraine completed its biggest long-range attack which destroyed 40 Russian warplanes, wiping out a large percentage of their military hardware. It was in the planning for at least 18 months so yeah, there were cards. In other news, Trump wants to hold an investigation into Biden's cognitive decline and has implemented a travel ban on 12 countries. Only Egypt isn't on the list, which is deeply bizarre because he said the ban was due to the antisemitic attack which happened, which was carried out by.....an Egyptian. Then, Jemma and Marina discuss Trump and Musk's very public and very embarrassing and completely inevitable break up and why they personally wouldn't have awarded the billionaire with a 'golden key' for anything he's done. A clip of Professor Scott Galloway talking about him, is the clip of the episode. Lastly, in an unusual Trawl twist, Marina and Jemma end by talking about Kris Jenner's face. Some wonderful funnies finish the ep off and of course, as ever, pudding is served. Enjoy!

The JFK Files Volume I : Pieces of The JFK Assassination Puzzle - Find here. The JFK Files Volume II : Pieces of the JFK Assassination Puzzle - Find here. Jeff's recent article on Kennedy's and King - The JFK Files Volume II: Pieces of the Assassination Puzzle Lee Harvey Oswald, A Lone Gunman? Find here. 20 years ago, Jeff was a managing editor for the Hot Springs Village Noise newspaper, a retirement centre in Arkansas. When Jeff relocated to Texas, he became absorbed in the JFK assassination research. Jeff would occasionally draft small articles about his JFK findings and send them into the Hot Springs Village Noise. Public interest in the retirement community was sparked with people requesting more Kennedy write ups from Jeff. In 2021 it was decided a monthly column would be written by Jeff, titled "The JFK Files". Chris Gallop encouraged Jeff to publish a collection of Jeff's articles and his interviews. DPD radio transcripts show Officer L.L. Hill at Cobb Stadium investigating a sighting of a man with a rifle on Nov. 22/63. When questioned by Jeff years later, Mr. Hill denied that he was ever at Cobb Stadium on the day of JFK's assassination. Researcher Gary Shaw located the license number and registration of the suspect at Cobb Stadium, both were fictitious. Jeff brought up these details to Mark Lane, but hasn't seen any evidence of an investigation into the matter. Jeff wrote a three part article on Gaeton Fonzi and his incredible research for George magazine. "The Last Investigation" by Gaeton Fonzi, with foreword by Dick Russell. Find here. Marie Fonzi chatted with Jeff about Gaeton so he could learn about the more intimate and personal side of Gaeton. Gaeton and Marie danced around their kitchen after Senator Schweiker called Gaeton to solve the Kennedy assassination. While spending time and researching with Mary Ferrell, Jeff came across a CIA document that fascinated him. Students at Arlington U in Texas, notified authorities - Russell W. McLarry had made threatening comments against JFK. Jeff was able to locate and interview Russell McLarry, and question him about his arrest experience. Russell had to come up with bail money, and go through the court process, in order to clear his name in the investigation. McLarry was arrested weeks after the assassination. What do Black Op Radio listeners think of that? JFK Pallbearer Tim Cheek was interviewed, giving insight into the events he participated in the night before JFK's funeral. Jeff interviewed DPD Officer Lee Sanders regarding HSCA officers attempting to recreate the shootings from the 6th floor. Sanders told Jeff that none of the officers believed Oswald shot Kennedy from the 6th floor window. Senator Schweiker "there appeared to be fingerprints of the intelligence agencies all over JFK's assassination". CIA operatives were in the court room after Lee Harvey Oswald's arrest in New Orleans in August of 1963. Len & Jeff discuss different players & aspects of the JFK assassination cover up. Len feels the CIA are just the foot soldiers for the intelligence community, the masters are entities lie Simon & Cromwell. Dulles, Lansdale, Cabell brothers, Joannides and the 6th Floor Museum are all complicit in the cover up of JFK's murder. Anna Paulina Luna has specifically asked for the Joannides file from the CIA, the CIA has not complied. Why? Jeff interviewed a great niece of Guy Bannister who felt Oswald was in Bannister's office being "observed" for Hoover. CIA didn't interview Lee Oswald after he returned to the United States with his Russian bride after "defecting"? When Trump was ready to release the JFK files four years ago, something happened, and the next day, he rescinded. Why? From the top down, the government agencies have tried to keep a lid on the truth of JFK's assassination. Many people who have "found" or wanted to release information they...

(The Center Square) – President Donald Trump's goals for the Department of Government Efficiency remain even as leader Elon Musk prepares to spend less time on government matters and more time with electric vehicle maker Tesla. When Trump first created DOGE, before taking office, he said it would be the government cost-cutting equivalent of the "Manhattan Project." Both Trump and Musk promised Americans would get a more efficient government after DOGE addressed government waste and cut regulations, but the final product – a streamlined government – isn't due until July 4, 2026, the nation's 250th birthday.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_6b6d3bd7-80e3-4c5e-8186-c4aaa8bf696e.html
In contrast with yesterday's guest, the Paris based Financial Times writer Simon Kuper, the newspaper's London based columnist Jemima Kelly hasn't quite given up on the United States of America. Trump, she suggests, might be the end of the line for the MAGA movement. Indeed, like another recent guest on the show, former Wired editor Peter Leyden, Kelly suggests that the Republicans might be flirting with the destruction of their brand for the next political generation. Unlike Leyden, however, Kelly isn't particularly bullish on the future of the Democratic Party, arguing that there is a desperate need for a formal national opposition to Trump's MAGA Republicanism. And in contrast with Leyden, Kelly doesn't see much of an opposition - moral or otherwise - from seemingly spineless tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg or Marc Andreessen. 5 Key Takeaways* Kelly is most concerned about Trump's "utter disregard for the legal system and the kind of lawlessness" that characterizes his second administration.* She believes Democrats lack cohesive opposition structure, noting America could benefit from a shadow cabinet system like the UK's to provide clear alternative voices.* Kelly predicts "MAGA is going to finish with Trump" as there's no viable successor who can match his charisma and stage presence.* She criticizes tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg for capitulating to Trump, questioning how they justify abandoning values for business interests.* Kelly argues that maintaining moral principles is crucial for Democrats, as sinking to Trump's level only erodes institutional trust, which has already been significantly damaged. Full Transcript Andrew Keen: Hello, everybody. It is Wednesday, April the 23rd, 2025. Headlines today remain dominated by Donald Trump. Every story above the fold, at least above the digital fold in the Financial Times, seems to be about him. Yesterday, we talked to FT columnist Simon Cooper, a Dutchman living in Paris, who had an interesting piece earlier this week suggesting Americans should move to Europe, indicating the American dream was over. Cooper seemed to relish this news. Today, we're talking to another FT columnist, Jemima Kelly. She's based in northeast London, in Hackney, and she's talking to us today from the FT offices in the heart of London City. Jemima, what's your take on Simon's column this week? Is it indeed time for most Americans to move to Europe?Jemima Kelly: I thought it was a very interesting column. I'm particularly interested in this idea that you discussed on your show about the brain drain that has been going in the direction of America and that might start to come back in the other direction, which I hadn't really properly considered before in those terms. But I must say that I'm not really a fan of encouraging people to all be digital nomads. He's actually followed it up with a piece today about how to be a digital nomad in Paris. I'm not really a fan of that kind of lifestyle because I think that it means people aren't particularly invested in their local communities, and I think it makes a bit of a crappy neighborhood if everyone is just working their own jobs. The dream of earning a US salary while working remotely living in Europe—I'm just like, please don't do that because then we're just importing inequality.Andrew Keen: Although to be fair, was Simon actually saying that?Jemima Kelly: I think he did say that the ultimate life, the ultimate arbitrage was doing that. And it's true, it is the ultimate arbitrage. It's just not one that I would particularly want people to pursue. It's like the Airbnb culture—it's destroyed a lot of cities and priced out local people, meaning certain cities you visit have no locals, just tourists, which is quite crap as a tourist.Andrew Keen: I guess the other critique of Simon's piece, which is an extension of yours, is for Americans who don't like Trump—and there are many, including myself—it's not time to move to Europe. It's not time to retreat. It is time to stay and fight and try to change America. So there's no reason why you have to shift. Jemima, you're a columnist at what you call on your X account "Friends of the Deep State" (FT). I'm using you as the voice of the European deep state. What's the take from London on Trump on April 23, 2025? It's so hard to make any sense of it. In a meta sense, in a structural sense, what's your take on what's happening?Jemima Kelly: I'm going to answer that in three parts. First, the "Friends of the Deep State" is obviously a reference to Liz Truss, who referred to the FT as the deep state.Andrew Keen: I want to come on to Truss later, another rather clownish character, your version of Donald Trump.Jemima Kelly: Yes, Britain's proudest export. Second, I would probably not want to speak for Europe or Britain. Maybe I can start by saying what I think the mood is.Andrew Keen: You live in Hackney in northeast London, so maybe you can speak on behalf of Hackney. What's the take on Trump from Hackney?Jemima Kelly: Just utter dismay. And I mean, I would say that's probably the mood I'm getting, even from people who thought there was too much hyperbole used about Trump in the run-up to his election. I didn't think comparisons to Hitler were particularly helpful.Andrew Keen: You're not alone. We've had that conversation many times on the show. I strongly agree with you.Jemima Kelly: So while there were people who were very hysterical about the idea of a Trump 2.0 being worse than the first time, I think so far, it does seem kind of worse, doesn't it?Andrew Keen: I'm asking you.Jemima Kelly: I would say there is a sense that things are quite scary at the moment. I think what I personally find most worrying, and that many balanced people are talking about, is the utter disregard for the courts and the rule of law. I was amazed looking at Truth Social earlier. I saw a post from Trump about an alleged MS-13 gang member.Andrew Keen: The Venezuelan who was illegally extradited or seized and taken to El Salvador.Jemima Kelly: I think this guy is actually Salvadoran. Trump has posted a picture of an alleged knuckle tattoo with four symbols which some people have extrapolated to mean MS-13. It's very obviously just computer-generated text superimposed on the image. Trump has posted it and appears to believe this is actually tattooed onto the man's knuckles, using that as justification. I think the utter disregard for the legal system and the lawlessness of Trump 2.0 is for me the most disturbing aspect because where does that end? It's just utter chaos.I might write this week about how Trump sees the world as just deal-making and transactions. The ends will always justify the means. He's openly saying he's going to keep pushing as hard as he can to get what he wants. But his followers, who are constantly rushing to justify everything he does, including his vice president, are glorifying the means themselves, which Trump himself doesn't even really believe in. People are willing to take what he says at face value and make it happen, like Vance going to Greenland on this supposed visit.Andrew Keen: You said in an excellent column earlier this month that Vance has "the zeal of the convert" and that's the problem.Jemima Kelly: Yes, because he once called Trump "America's Hitler."Andrew Keen: And he didn't mean it in a complimentary way.Jemima Kelly: I don't think he did.Andrew Keen: So, Jemima, stand back a little. Simon noted that he'd always believed in America growing up. A lot of his friends went to America. You're a slightly younger generation from Simon. When you graduated from university, did a lot of your friends go to America? Did you ever think maybe you should go to America as a singer or a journalist?Jemima Kelly: Did any of my friends? It's quite difficult as a British person going to America. Quite a few of my friends have ended up there, particularly in LA for some reason. I almost moved to New York with my previous employer, Reuters, and have considered it, but wanted to stay in London. I love America; it's a completely amazing and fascinating place. But it does feel like people I speak to at the moment are feeling concerned. Someone in New Orleans told me that when conservative columnists in the New York Times are writing that it's time for some kind of uprising...Andrew Keen: That was David Brooks. And Simon wrote about a friend of his in Georgia who said he couldn't even go out because he was scared to bump into Trump people.Jemima Kelly: I saw that. That's not how I personally believe that divisions should be handled. The idea that you shouldn't go out because you might bump into some Trump fans—I don't know about that.Andrew Keen: I couldn't agree more. Your last column, in the spirit of Easter, was titled "It's the hope that saves you." It was a broader column, not just about America. But do you still have a vestige, a glimmer of hope in America? Have you given up?Jemima Kelly: Oh, God, yes, I still have hope. I am an optimist. But I also believe that being optimistic and hopeful, which as I explain in the column are slightly different things, gives you a higher chance of things going well. If you don't resort to cynicism and nihilism, which I don't think is particularly helpful.Another column I would like to write in the coming weeks is that I am becoming convinced that MAGA is going to finish with Trump. There is no MAGA after Trump. One thing that convinced me of this was listening to the "Triggered" podcast with Donald Trump Jr. I tried to listen to a range of podcasts, some more painful than others, and I listened to a full episode the other day and couldn't believe the level of imbecility.Andrew Keen: Well, we know what you mean anyway, even if that isn't the word.Jemima Kelly: And he's the best friend of the vice president, who's supposedly this genius.Andrew Keen: I'm sure in a year or two JD will have moved on to other "best friends."Jemima Kelly: Maybe, but I think they've been friends for a while. The thing with Trump is that he masks so much with his charisma and stage presence and what he calls "flexibility," not U-turning. And his people skills. Then you get the distilled version of him without all of that, and it's just so painfully bad and unpersuasive. There's no successor. Vance is the only one who the bookies currently have as the favorite, but that's because there's no leader on the other side; we don't know who the Democratic leader is.Andrew Keen: Peter Leyden, who was on the show a few days ago, the former editor-in-chief of Wired, believes that Trump is essentially destroying the Republican brand for a generation. It does provide an opportunity for the Democrats in the long term, although the Democrats probably have many problems of their own. Do you agree that ultimately the Republican brand has been decimated and is headed for 20 or 30 years of political isolation?Jemima Kelly: I think what they have going for them is that MAGA has its own name—there was always the MAGA part of the Republican Party and then the "other part" and the RINOs. Now they have somewhat merged, but I imagine that will start to separate if the Trump project keeps doing as badly as it seems to be. But it doesn't feel like there's any separation now between Trump and the institutions that are supposedly independent, with the Fed being an exception despite his saying he'd terminate Powell and then claiming the press made a big deal of it. It does feel like it will be difficult for Republicans to extricate themselves from Trump. There isn't anyone standing up and being vocally anti-Trump on that side at the moment.Andrew Keen: You noted that your satirical X profile "Friends of the Deep State" was borrowed from Liz Truss, who made a fool of herself and now is in political exile. Can we learn anything from the Truss fiasco? It seems to me as if Trump a couple of weeks ago on the bond front was, so to speak, "Trussed"—the market spoke and he had to retreat. Can we learn anything from recent British political or economic history to make sense of what's happening in the US, particularly in terms of Truss, who was humiliated by the markets?Jemima Kelly: Trump has the advantage of shamelessness, doesn't he?Andrew Keen: So you're saying that Liz Truss is not shameless?Jemima Kelly: That's a very good point. You could see the embarrassment on her face. Maybe that is just my projection of how I would feel.Andrew Keen: For people just listening, it's a picture of Liz Truss in New York with a MAGA hat on looking like a complete idiot.Jemima Kelly: Just before the inauguration saying, "It can't come soon enough."Andrew Keen: And she says "the West needs it," whatever that means.Jemima Kelly: She's constantly "saving the West." She was at a Bitcoin conference last weekend giving a speech on saving the West. It's really exciting that we have such capable hands to save the West.Andrew Keen: Especially at the Bitcoin conference.Jemima Kelly: Exactly. They're the real people to do it. What can we learn from Truss? What we can learn, and this takes us into the Democrats, is that a few people have floated the idea that America should have some form of shadow cabinet. One of the reasons that Truss lasted for only 42 days—less than the lettuce—was that we have such a vocal opposition in this country. It's very clear who the spokesperson is from the opposing party. So when a journalist is writing a story about Truss's mini budget, right away, you've got the shadow chancellor to tell you why it's a terrible idea. In America, it's not so clear, and I think that's a disadvantage.Andrew Keen: You wrote an excellent column in the last month on why America needs a "serious opposition."Jemima Kelly: It really opened my eyes, this idea of the shadow cabinet. Obviously, the government has a different structure in the US, and it's not a monarchy, etc. But the idea of some form—even if just in name only—if the Democrats were able to put forward a representative for each of the major government departments, it would help. It made me think that American media often sees itself as "the resistance"—the media is the resistance. I feel like our job is to report the news. Too often it feels like the media was trying to stop Trump from getting reelected or trying to hide that Biden was too old for another four years. The media is far too often doing the work that an opposition should be doing.It dawned on me that this is partly because of the lack of structure that we have with the constant back and forth. As a journalist, rather than having to explain why the Liz Truss mini-budget was bad, you've got someone on the other side to tell you. The Democrats are in disarray. Usually, there's nothing like a common enemy to unite you, and Trump should be that. Amid the tariffs, the trade war, the deportation of immigrants, threats to deport others to horrific Salvadoran prisons—if there were a time to be united, it would be now. This is peak Trump fear, and yet the Democrats have record low approval ratings among their supporters. A Gallup poll showed Republican approval of their congressmen is at 76 percent while Democrats are at 39 percent among Democrats. There is a real void of cohesive or coherent opposition.Andrew Keen: You've been quite critical of the Democrats. Back in July, you talked about the "Biden debacle" and the absurdity of a man clearly out of his depth. But you've also written more recently about Democrats not abandoning their morals. When historians look back, how much of a debacle was the Biden regime? Will it be seen as the trigger that enabled Trump 2.0, or would these things be seen separately?Jemima Kelly: I don't think it was Biden's administration; I think it was the cover-up of his physical decline.Andrew Keen: I wasn't surprised by that debate he had with Trump. He clearly was way beyond his shelf life. It was self-evident if you watched interviews with him.Jemima Kelly: It was already evident. I got into trouble for talking about this before the 2020 election because he had gotten the name of an interviewer wrong, and fact-checking organizations rushed in to say he hadn't. They were lying on his behalf, which shocked me.Andrew Keen: Does that make Trump's point on Truth Social that the media is really the Democratic party, or the two are inseparable?Jemima Kelly: It's funny because every time I've written about this, I've gotten pushback. I was the first "ritual sacrifice" on BlueSky a few months ago because I dared to say it was an echo chamber. Apparently, I implied that I wanted more Nazis on BlueSky, which is obviously sarcasm. One thing I find interesting—if you type "New York Times" into BlueSky, you'll get people complaining about how pro-Trump they are or how they're "both-sides-ists." If you type "New York Times" into X, you'll get people complaining about how anti-Trump they are and how it's just an extension of the Democratic Party.I think there's something like 3-4% of American journalists who vote Republican, so clearly, the media does lean left or Democrat. Trump is now letting really marginal right-wing news outlets into his briefings, which in some ways I don't think is all bad. I think it would be good to have a more balanced media.Andrew Keen: You wrote a good piece in December, "Democrats must not abandon their morals," which I guess goes without saying. There are still morals in the Republican party. Well, certainly ex-Republicans like David Brooks and Peter Wehner seem to be the most convincingly moral Americans. But that's another issue. What advice would you give the Democrats? On one hand, you've got a civil war within the party between its left—Bernie Sanders and AOC—versus centrists. They agree on almost nothing apart from being in the same big tent party. What advice would you give Democrats?Jemima Kelly: I don't feel in a position to give advice.Andrew Keen: What would you like to see then?Jemima Kelly: Just to be clear about the "Democrats shouldn't abandon their morals" column, that was written after Biden pardoned his son Hunter, which I found uncool. I hate that. I was arguing that if you're going to talk about how immoral the Trump project is and how full of lies it is—and it is all those things—then you have to show that you're better. I felt that was a failure during the first Trump term.I think outlets like the New York Times are doing better this time around. But there was an op-ed written after the first Trump victory about how objectivity needed to be abandoned, like there was a new game to play. I think that's really short-termist and will set a terrible precedent. Trump has come in again on the back of a massive loss of trust in institutions, which was already happening but was made worse by COVID—all the debates about origins, vaccines, etc. That chipped away at trust in science, government, and institutions in general.I write a lot about virtue and honor. I just wrote about hope. I don't think we think about values enough. Only the right in America seems to talk about religion. I'm not even a Christian myself—I was raised Catholic but don't consider myself that anymore—but I feel that values and morality aren't spoken about enough. The Democrats need to take the high ground. They were pulling up placards saying "Lie" at Trump's address to Congress, wearing colors to represent protest. AOC was doing videos saying "choose your fighter," trying to appeal to young people. It was all so cringe and inauthentic. When Trump is being seen as authentic, and Bernie Sanders, who does come across as authentic, there's such a vacuum of authenticity.Andrew Keen: You noted that one of the reasons why Trump is so successful is his eccentricity. That's one of his attractive qualities. A couple of quick questions before we go. You're at the FT, so you're supposed to understand the global economy. Back in September, you talked about America's crypto election. I have a nagging suspicion that crypto might be one of the things that ultimately blows up Trump. There is a lot of fraud within the administration on crypto, with some people making vast fortunes. Trump or his administration is in bed with the Bitcoin bros. What do you make of this association? Because Trump historically has always been ambivalent about crypto. Is this a sideshow or could it become the main show?Jemima Kelly: I don't think it could become the main show just because crypto is still not systemically important enough. If we compare it to the trade war, it pales in comparison in terms of numbers. The IMF downgrading forecasts by one percentage point for the US—that is far more likely to bring down Trump economically.Andrew Keen: Could we be seeing a restructuring of the global financial economy where crypto becomes an alternative to the Fed, given Trump's hostility towards the Fed?Jemima Kelly: God, no, not in my opinion. My ultimate point with crypto—and by the way, people who believe in Bitcoin (and I use the word "believe" deliberately because I do regard it as a belief system) think that Bitcoin is different from other crypto because it's the first one and will only have 21 million coins ever minted. But these are just strings of digits. Then someone comes along and says, "oh no, Bitcoin and Ethereum," and someone else adds Dogecoin as well.These aren't companies like the S&P 500 where there's a finite list. Each of these coins does absolutely nothing, and there's no limit to the number that can exist. I could speak about crypto for hours, but I always come back to the fact that there is no scarcity. Bitcoiners hate when I say this because they claim Bitcoin is different. There is no limit to the number of cryptocurrencies that can exist. If you look at CoinMarketCap.com, they used to count how many cryptocurrencies there were, but I think it got embarrassing because the counter disappeared. There are tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands at this point. How can there be value when there's no scarcity?Andrew Keen: I hope you're right on that front. Finally, you've been very critical of Silicon Valley and big tech. You wrote a piece recently on Mark Zuckerberg caving into Trump. Zuckerberg caved in, Bezos appears to have with the Washington Post, some law firms have, some haven't. Do you think this will come back to haunt opportunists like Zuckerberg? Is it in the interest, not just moral but economic, of American business leaders, university leaders, and heads of law firms to stand up to all this nonsense?Jemima Kelly: I think so, yes. We have so glorified wealth that people only seem to think value exists in financial terms. If I were Mark Zuckerberg, I would care about what people thought of me, but that's even superficial. I would care about being able to sleep well at night. I don't know how these people justify it.I heard a Mark Andreessen podcast a few months ago where he said, "The one thing people don't understand about billionaires is they don't care about money. They just want people to like them." I thought that was really interesting, but it doesn't seem to match their actions.Andrew Keen: Well, we probably should end. I'm not sure if you've written any columns on Musk, but he seems to represent all of this. He's clearly distancing himself from Trump, just as Trump is distancing himself from Musk. Are we beginning to see the end of this love affair between the Musks and the Andreessens with Trump?Jemima Kelly: It's interesting because Musk was supposedly the savior of electric cars, but the current-day Musk would be so skeptical of electric cars. It's weird that he was that guy and now has to keep being that guy to a certain extent because it's his brand. I think he's been radicalized by people not liking him, and he's being pushed further into this corner because he wants to feel part of a tribe. Now he feels like he fits in at Mar-a-Lago and hangs out with Trump.Do I think that's the end of their relationship? It's hard to know. I wouldn't be surprised if they did fall out quite soon. But they're both very strange people, aren't they?Andrew Keen: To put it mildly. You've got a big picture of the two of them in a Tesla on the cover of the Financial Times. I think they're both secretly fans of Millwall Football Club with their famous song "Nobody Loves Us, We Don't Care."Jemima Kelly: What?Andrew Keen: I'm joking, but maybe the same is true of Donald Trump and certainly Elon Musk.Jemima Kelly: They care so much. That's what's funny. Trump cares more than anyone about people loving him. I think that's what drives him. He really wants to be seen as a good president, which comforts me when things are going badly because I think he wants people to love him. He really wants the Nobel Peace Prize, which is hilarious, but he does want that.Andrew Keen: Well, one thing we've resolved today is that Donald Trump is not a fan of Millwall Football Club. He wants everybody to love him. He does care if they don't. Jemima, I know you don't really care because you're someone who will always say what you think. We'll have to get you back on the show for The View from London. Not an eccentric view, but an irreverent view. Thank you so much, Jemima Kelly, columnist of the FT. We will have you back on the show. Keep well.Jemima Kelly: Thank you, you too. This is a public episode.

The Washington Monthly called him as “one of America's most important journalists.” The Portland Oregonian said his work equals the original muckrakers: Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair and Lincoln Steffens. Johnston met Donald Trump in 1988 and in April 1990 revealed that Trump's was no billionaire. When Trump announced his latest run for the White House in June 2015, Johnston was the only nationally-known journalist who immediately said Trump was serious this time and might get the GOP nomination. His reporting over the next year led to the Making of Donald Trump, published around the world in English and German on August 2, 2016, by Melville House. The San Jose Mercury recruited Johnston when he was just 18 years old because of his reporting for two small weekly newspapers in Santa Cruz, Calif. At age 19 The Mercury hired him as a staff writer. Within weeks his byline made the front page. Over the next four decades his award-winning investigations appeared in that paper, the Detroit Free Press, Los Angeles Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times. Since 2009 Johnston has taught the business regulation, property and tax law of the ancient world at Syracuse University College of Law. He previously taught writing, reporting and magazine writing at the University of Southern California and UCLA Extension. He has lectured on four continents about journalistic techniques, ethics, legal theory and tax policy. Join us Thursday's at 8EST for our Weekly Happy Hour Hangout!

[EP 25-155] Now that the Tesla car key vandals and firebombers are being arrested, it seems like the Tesla attacks have almost stopped Amazing what happens when you actually enforce the law against violent leftists What life must be like for Leftists. I chuckle at the notion. They have no way of predicting what President Trump will do next that will energize Americans.Think about it. When Trump isn't accomplishing the impossible as defined by Leftists, he comes up with other innovative things to keep them jumping. How do you plan against the Bobby Fischer of political chess? Trump announced on Fox News, that he will offer a plane ticket and a stipend for illegals to leave the country and then apply legally to return.Pres Trump's deportation plan. What an innovative idea.It's compassionate and provides illegals with the ability to do it the right way. Go ahead Leftists, poke holes in the plan. I think Trump should bring that MS-13 gang leader back and put him in a prominent Democrat's neighborhood.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.
When Trump was running for office last year, he promised to “lower prices on day one.” So… why are eggs still so expensive? And why are other groceries still so expensive too?Sure, bird flu is one factor - but it's actually having less of an impact than you've been told. A lot of other factors are at play too, from tariffs to corporate profits to immigration policies that target our agricultural workers. Just this week, Trump is set to announce a new round of tariffs in what he's ironically calling “liberation day.”All of this would be bad enough, but in the meantime, Republicans are cutting funding and programs that help struggling families put food on the table. The USDA has stopped $500 million in deliveries to food banks and slashed a billion dollars from programs that helped schools purchase fresh local food. And SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) is likely to experience major cuts too.You can't find a more “kitchen table issue” than what families can afford to put on their literal kitchen tables. Extremists want us to think the economy is too complicated to understand, but it's actually quite simple: we need leaders who prioritize families over profits. Access to food is a basic human right and we need them to treat it that way.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

The Gaslit Nation Media Committee, a watchdog against access journalism and regime propaganda, has developed this essential guide. We urge all members of the media to reject complicity in the erosion of democracy. The American crisis is a global struggle between democracy and fascism—one that threatens the entire world. Each of us has a role in defending freedom. If you work in media, use this guide to safeguard your integrity, your liberty, and the values we cherish—before it's too late. Doing your job well can save lives and democracy. 1. Don't Bury the Lede: Call It an Illegal Tech-Backed Coup To build trust, stick to the facts. When Trump's administration acts illegally, say it—especially in the headline. Call it what it is: a tech-backed coup that exposes Americans' most sensitive data and replaces federal workers with unsecured A.I. to establish a new surveillance state. 2. Make Private Prison Execs Famous Investigate the financial interests behind Trump's immigration system—expose executives, board members, and their connections. Pursue them with cameras; they can't hide behind profits while lives are ruined and civil liberties eroded. 3. Fascism Needs Ignorance From dismantling the Department of Education to the “War on Woke” in universities, Trump continues delegitimizing education. This isn't about competition with other countries—it's about giving everyone the chance to grow as independent thinkers who reject fascism. 4. Follow the Money Investigate Trump's major donors and their role in Musk's illegal purge of government services. Hold them accountable—ask how they view their investments amid the chaos. Track their contracts and regulatory benefits. 5. Expose National Security Threats Trump removed key military officials who prevented unlawful actions. Without them, who will stop him? Trump holds the nuclear football, cozying up to adversaries, sending bombs to Israel, and threatening wars against Canada and Greenland. Focus on how our adversaries are taking advantage. 6. Kleptowatch Focus on how companies exploit customers through greedflation and Amazon's payola for search visibility. While the Biden administration has much to answer for, the media must spotlight the absence of enforcement of investigations brought by Lina Khan and Tim Wu, leaving corporate kleptocrats unchecked. 7. Media Must Thoroughly Cover Media Journalists must cover media attacks, including blocked access to info and censorship (e.g., Ann Telnaes at WaPo). Report on media ecosystem shifts, address bias, and clarify distinctions between reporting, opinion, and lies. Provide context on media ownership. 8. Draw Historical Parallels Trump, Musk, and allies are enacting policies similar to dictators like Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. The media must challenge their unfounded assertions. They are attacking the press and critics, reminiscent of regimes like Pol Pot's and Rwanda's genocide. 9. Trump is Trying to Turn America into an Autocracy: Act Like It Columbia Journalism Review shared 10 essential tips for journalists reporting from autocracies. Share these with your teams, including your company's lawyers—killing big stories and obeying in advance is self-destructive. 10. Shine a Light on Private Prisons The private prison industry needs scrutiny, especially with Trump's lack of oversight. Innocent people are caught in reckless immigration raids as the system grows unchecked. Regular coverage of Guantanamo Bay is crucial due to its history of unlawful detention and Trump's plan for a prison camp there for 30,000 people. 11. Gilead is Here The media has abandoned calling out Trump's toxic masculinity regarding reproductive rights and civil rights. Raise awareness of the deadly consequences for women, including trans women, and all nonwhite people. 12. Access Journalism is Betrayal Fascism's history includes journalists from major outlets becoming "masters of euphemism," (to quote Gareth Jones), downplaying atrocities and broken laws to protect access. History will remember you for doing your job or being bought. Doing your job well can save lives and democracy. 13. Family Members Deserve Special Attention Trump's administration is granting lucrative positions to family members of allies and donors, giving them undue influence over policy. These self-dealing networks must be mapped and exposed. 14. Unmask Voter Suppression Election analysis must address gerrymandering, unfair Senate representation favoring "red states," the Electoral College designed to protect elites, and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. Don't treat our voter suppression crisis like "horse race" politics. 15. Focus on the 1% Expose extreme wealth inequality—how the 1% dodge taxes and exploit loopholes to preserve their wealth. Put a spotlight on how inequality fuels authoritarianism and is a direct threat to democracy. 16. Cover Protests Highlight actions challenging the White House's destructive crimes. People need to see that citizens care about the laws being broken by Trump's administration and that they're not alone. 17. They're Testing Boundaries: Say It When something is "unprecedented," that means they're testing boundaries, to see what they can get away with. Say it. 18. The Weird Fights Matter Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America may seem "weird," but it's part of the fascist pageantry, like Mussolini's famous eyeliner and Putin's shirtless photos. Look to experts in autocracy to see which stories are being used as a distraction and which stories are important to cover.

As I reflect on the difference between Trump's first administration and his current one, I notice a marked shift. When Trump first took office, his message and objectives weren't clear to me. Beyond the promise of building a wall, I struggled to understand his vision. This time around, it's vastly different. His message is laser-focused, […] The post 499: Scott Bessent's 3-Part Playbook for America appeared first on Wealth Formula.
SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWDemocracy hangs in the balance as Trump's second term begins with a flurry of controversial decisions that test constitutional boundaries. Trump claims progress on Ukraine-Russia peace talks, yet Putin continues bombing Ukrainian hospitals despite supposed ceasefire agreements. The stark reality is that Putin seems more interested in reclaiming his status on the world stage than achieving actual peace, while Trump may be unwittingly empowering China through his unconventional diplomatic approach.Foreign policy challenges extend beyond Ukraine, with Trump authorizing strikes against Houthis in Yemen and watching as the Israel-Hamas conflict intensifies. Meanwhile, the domestic landscape grows increasingly concerning as Trump targets perceived enemies - expelling ambassadors, stripping Secret Service protection from Biden's children, and attempting to invalidate presidential pardons through dubious legal interpretations.The judiciary has emerged as a critical bulwark against executive overreach, with courts challenging Trump's deportation efforts, transgender military ban, and climate program cancellations. When Trump called for judges to be impeached for ruling against him, Chief Justice Roberts delivered a rare public rebuke, emphasizing that impeachment is not an appropriate response to judicial disagreements. Most troubling perhaps is the expanding influence of unelected figures like Elon Musk, whose Pentagon visit raised serious questions about private citizens accessing sensitive government information. Even environmental initiatives haven't escaped Trump's reach - a nationwide tree planting program was canceled because it allegedly contained diversity and inclusion elements, highlighting the administration's determination to eliminate any DEI-related programs regardless of their actual purpose or community benefits. Democracy requires vigilance now more than ever. Subscribe to “A World Gone Mad" for ongoing analysis of these critical developments that shape our nation's future.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com
[EP 25-107] When Trump wins, Democrats forget themselves. So much so that even Jimmy Kimmel actually mocked Democrats over their protest video. Kimmel lamented of the fight video by AOC and others, “If that is the best we got…”Another Leftist comedian, Bill Maher lampooned Jasmine Crockett, who seems to think of herself as the “big leader” of the Democratic Party. Trump already has Democrat heads on his wall. And based on what I think is coming, I paraphrase the scene from Jaws after Brody spotted the shark: “You're gonna need a bigger wall!”Trump will decimate Canada, Mexico, the EU, and China on tariffs. Simultaneously the economy will improve dramatics. Inflation has begun to fall, and it will approach pre-Biden levels which will make Trump look like an orange god. Next, energy prices will drop, which will cause prices to continue to fall, and just in time for the biggest shopping season on record, I predict.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.
When Trump ordered the arrest and deportation of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil in New York City, he didn't expect it would trigger a mass movement in his defense. Millions of people understand it as an epic battle over free speech and the right to organize in solidarity with the Palestinian people.Brian is joined by Layan Sima Fuleihan, a Palestinian organizer, popular educator, and Education Director at The People's Forum. Both were at the rally today outside the courthouse where Khalil's attorneys challenged ICE's removal of Khalil to Louisiana.Join the The Socialist Program community at www.patreon.com/thesocialistprogram.

Is presidential power out of control, or are we witnessing a necessary correction to decades of bureaucratic overreach? When Trump fired Wilcox from the NLRB, it sparked a constitutional showdown about who really controls the executive branch - and the implications could reshape American governance. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart Ryan Silverstein, JD candidate at Villanova University, breaks down the explosive battle between President Trump and the administrative state. This isn't just about one firing - it's about whether unelected bureaucrats can create policy without accountability to voters. As Silverstein explains, independent agencies have operated with unprecedented autonomy for decades, making rules that affect millions of Americans without direct oversight. The conversation dives deep into constitutional principles, exploring how the "unitary executive theory" challenges a century of precedent established since Humphrey's Executor in 1935. With the conservative Supreme Court already chipping away at administrative power through recent cases like Loper Bright and SEC v. Jarkesy, this confrontation could be the tipping point that fundamentally restructures government. Brian and Ryan examine the troubling delegation of congressional authority to unelected experts - a trend dramatically accelerated during COVID when "trust the science" became a mandate rather than guidance. The discussion highlights how both parties have abdicated their responsibilities, preferring to pass accountability to faceless bureaucracies rather than face voters with difficult policy choices. The stakes couldn't be higher: will this case return policy-making to elected officials, or will the administrative state continue growing unchecked? As Silverstein concludes, the founders envisioned citizens actively involved in governance, not passively accepting expert rule. This episode offers a master class in constitutional principles and a wake-up call about the future of American democracy. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

It's really simple. When Trump uses his bully pulpit, he moves the people. We are seeing that quite vividly with the fight over Ukraine funding. However, if he doesn't extend this to his fight with Congress and the courts, much of the good work will be washed away. To that end, I explain how Trump can totally win a government shutdown over the budget. He can use his Tuesday-night speech to lay out his vision on the economy and how the welfare state is causing inflation. He must also put the courts in their place. At the end, I delve into my concerns with the cryptocurrency scams. Finally, is RFK Jr. going soft now that he is actually in political combat? Learn more about your ad choices.

When Trump sits in the White House dispensing pardons to other convicted felons - and an ambassadorship or two, when he was able to run out the clock on justice with his political donors paying most of his legal bills, when so many actions this administration has taken in the first month serve to eliminate or disable accountability or oversight… Here's my 2009 conversation with Amy Bach about how the legal system systematically fails regular people every day. The rich walk, the poor go to prison. Her book ORDINARY INJUSTICE shows how - in the name of expedience - legal professionals collaborate rather than face off, sacrificing defendants and victims to keep the court calendar moving.
David Waldman is not here today! But what is “here”, anyway? David recorded a brand-new show that went over by four minutes — that's hundreds of extra words! So, he is virtually here today… but what is “virtually”, anyhow? KITM is still OG podcasting, the way they did it back in the twenty teens, none of that funny new stuff, or the funny old stuff, or any of that funny stuff, just the real stuff! (which is often funny) The Trump White House is one step away from adding a laugh track to its ICE videos. DOGE has made Trump II exponentially more incompetent and horrific. Are they saving $8 million? $8 billion? $8 trillion? $8? Who knows? Because that isn't the point. The National Science Foundation fired probationary employees and threw in some permanent employees and at-will workers. If anyone had a problem, they could take it up with the board (who were fired) or tell reporters to make a FOIA request through staff (who were also fired). That doesn't sound like saving money, it sounds like eliminating witnesses. It sounds like burning everything down to hide the bodies. Pam Bondi, She-Wolf of the DOJ, was schutzstaffelling the Eric Adams case the moment she got the job. When Trump picked the one Black woman in the National Labor Relations Board to fire, he might have been dimly aware that it would go to his Supreme Court. Whatever they decide won't be the end of it. Trump, Putin and the Saudis had a meeting to discuss the upcoming Kyiv Trump Tower and rare earth mines. In only 4 hours they were able to settle on their McDonald's order and sell out the future of 40 million people.
When Trump was elected President for a second term, I expected there would be a lot of talk about tariffs, but I didn't anticipate all the attention on the Panama Canal and Greenland. So, it seemed like the perfect time for Lloyd and I to talk to one of our favorite geopolitics experts, Dr. Andrew [...]

The Washington Monthly called him as “one of America's most important journalists.” The Portland Oregonian said his work equals the original muckrakers: Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair and Lincoln Steffens. Johnston met Donald Trump in 1988 and in April 1990 revealed that Trump's was no billionaire. When Trump announced his latest run for the White House in June 2015, Johnston was the only nationally-known journalist who immediately said Trump was serious this time and might get the GOP nomination. His reporting over the next year led to the Making of Donald Trump, published around the world in English and German on August 2, 2016, by Melville House. The San Jose Mercury recruited Johnston when he was just 18 years old because of his reporting for two small weekly newspapers in Santa Cruz, Calif. At age 19 The Mercury hired him as a staff writer.

Two-fisted drinker of breakfast beverages, David Waldman tells it like it is this Tuesday. WAR! Trumpskrieg is in full force, finding the calvaries of MGs Schumer and Jeffries still tamping down their muskets. Of course, reporters aren't used to the news being so damn “new” either. MAGA forces have already scored massive, albeit imaginary victories in Colombia, California and assorted elementary schools. If Canada and Mexico get tired of Trump, they can just hit the BRICS. The White House paused all federal grants and loan disbursement, which they can't do, and just did. This has caused immediate chaos and although they promise it will be temporary chaos, it will be long-term chaos which they hope to turn into permanent chaos. There is also a Gop proposal to make college scholarships taxable income as most of us will be picking tomatoes within a generation anyhow. Trump hopes to skip out of the World Health Organization without paying the bill. When Trump pardoned repeat offending wife beating, police assaulting, gun running pedophiles he never could have guessed they would return to a life of crime. One thing's for certain, Matthew W. Huttle would have been alive today if it wasn't for Donald Trump.

In the 300th episode of What the Hell is Going On? Dany and Marc discuss Marc's column in the Washington Post, Donald Trump finally gets his honeymoon. When Trump first entered the Oval Office in 2017, the Democratic Party was in full “resist” mode, Trump was a Washington outsider, and protests engulfed America's capital. Today, Trump enters office understanding the levers of government and how to wield them, issuing a flurry of executive orders and memoranda putting federal employees back to work, attempting to end birthright citizenship, canceling federal DEI programs, and more. How will Trump's second term differ from his first? And how long will Trump's political honeymoon last? Read Marc's column in the Washington Post here. Subscribe to our Substack here.

In the final part of our three-part series, we break down "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and its connection to cognitive dissonance. What happens when beliefs clash with reality? Most people avoid the hard truth—the red pill—because it challenges their intellect and ego, opting instead for the comfort of the blue pill. We also discuss how access to endless, out-of-context information has made society more divided and ignorant. The question is: will you face reality or stick to what feels safe? The choice is yours. Show Notes: [02:46]#8 When Trump wins another election people experience this cognitive dissonance of their beliefs clashing with reality. [10:26]#9 Most people live their entire lives taking the blue pill rather than the red pill. [20:11]#10 The world we live in now, where we can access information anywhere at any time, was supposed to make us smarter and more informed, but it's actually made us dumber, more divided, and people have dug into their own belief systems.

The banks also flagged wire transfers sent to the Bidens from foreign state-owned entities, raising concerns about money laundering and tax evasion. Investigations revealed that these foreign funds were funneled through 20 shell companies associated with Biden business partners before being distributed to nine Biden family members, including grandchildren. Despite this, to my knowledge, not a single member of the Biden family has been debanked. For ordinary Americans, even a few SARs would likely result in debanking. Additionally, none of the Bidens registered under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), as would typically be required in such circumstances. Meanwhile, hundreds of cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and Trump supporters—including Melania and Barron Trump—have been debanked. Just as the establishment weaponizes the U.S. dollar against foreign adversaries, it uses debanking as a weapon against its domestic opponents. laundering, human trafficking, and tax fraud, according to congressional investigators. Tariffs are coming, but Congress can stop them When Trump says he will release an executive order on day one of his second term, he is referring specifically to those delegated authorities. Congress still has time to take those authorities back and avoid a potential trade war. Last week, Reps. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) and Don Beyer (D-Va.) introduced the Prevent Tariff Abuse Act, which would curtail the president's ability to use a law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to enact tariffs and quotas on other countries. That is a good start, but there's still more that Congress can do. Trade analysts have laid out a much broader list of tariff authorities that could be abused by Trump and Congress should act quickly to repeal or reform them.
