The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (11/20/2025): 3:05pm- Michael Knowles—Host of The Michael Knowles Show on The Daily Wire & Author of the book “Reasons to Vote for Democrats” (every page is blank)—joins Rich Zeoli to discuss their PragerU Book Club episode on Animal Farm which was recently released! Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmFJ11619bY. 3:30pm- On Wednesday night, President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Transparency Act which directs the Justice Department to release all the files in its possession related to its investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 3:40pm- During a segment on her MS NOW show, Jen Psaki seemingly tried to exploit a victim of Epstein's predations by asking her questions which sought to link President Trump to Epstein. Psaki's attempt ultimately failed, leaving everyone uncomfortable. 3:45pm- Sen. Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his recent editorial in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “Veterans Are Not Victims, But Some Need Help.” You can find the article here: https://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/guest-columns/2025/11/11/veterans-day-affairs-va-mental-health-dave-mccormick/stories/202511110003. 4:00pm- On Thursday, several Democratic lawmakers—Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio, and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan—released a video to social media imploring service members and intelligence officials to disobey “illegal” orders issued by President Donald Trump. Though, they never once mentioned what the orders might hypothetically be. In a post to Truth Social, President Trump stated: “This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???” He added, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” 4:30pm- Don't listen to Rich's Google search recommendations…under any circumstances…your targeted ads will never let you forget it… 4:45pm- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphatically told the press that “no,” President Trump is not calling for the execution of lawmakers who posted a video urging military service members to ignore orders from the president. 5:00pm- Speaking from the House floor, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) accused several Republicans including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin of taking campaign donations from Jeffrey Epstein. However, her claim was horribly misleading. The donations were from a Dr. Jeffrey Epstein—a different Jeffery Epstein, with no relation to the predator. 5:20pm- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says she's finally retiring…because Hillary Clinton lost in 2016? 5:40pm- HE'S BACK! Rep. Al Green is once again calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump—telling reporters impeachment needs to be the Democrat Party's top priority, even placing it above the economy and affordability. 6:05pm- Are aliens heading our way? Harvard University astrophysicist Avi Loeb suggests an interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, could be a spacecraft from another planet—though, it isn't likely. 6:30pm- While speaking with Bari Weiss, psychologist Jonathan Haidt explained that research suggests liberal girls spend far more time on social media than conservative girls: “The feeds of the liberal girls get much more taken over by how terrible the world is…Liberal girls are caught in a set of disempowering ideas.” He added: “It's the liberal girls who really rise first and fastest on depression.” 6:40pm CNN Polling: Americans are noticing President Trump's numerous foreign policy successes.

Is Trump losing the very people who put him in power - and what does that mean for the rest of us? If Trump was supposed to be the wrecking ball to the swamp, why are his approval numbers tanking while people are getting poorer, angrier, and more blackpilled about politics? Why are Walmart and TJ Maxx booming while your grocery bill feels like a second car payment? Why did Team Trump hype the Epstein files... then suddenly slam on the brakes? And why does it feel like no matter who wins, the same people behind the curtain still call the shots? Studio Sponsor: ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": ⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠ In this episode, Connor Vasile and I dig into the new polling that shows Trump sliding hard with voters who once saw him as the economic bodyguard against Biden style insanity. We get into why cost of living is crushing normal people, why the “inflation is slowing” talking points feel like gaslighting, and how big box “value” stores quietly tell the real story of a stressed out middle class. If you feel poorer than the headlines say you should, this one is going to hit home. From there, we walk straight into the Epstein landmine - why Thomas Massie forced the vote, what the Trump world flip flop on releasing the files really signals, and why people are done accepting “national security” and “ongoing investigation” as magic words to hide the truth. We talk foreign influence, Mossad rumors, blackmail, and why the average American has every reason not to trust the people holding the redaction pen. We also pull the lens back and ask the uncomfortable question almost nobody on the right wants to ask out loud - is Trump actually running a 90s Democrat playbook while selling it as America First? We talk covid spending, H1B visas, cheap imported labor, and why both parties keep feeding the same corporate machine while Republican and Democrat voters scream from opposite corners of the same cage. Finally, we zoom out to the bigger war behind all this: red team vs blue team tribalism, why libertarians keep getting boxed out, and what a real liberty strategy looks like in a world of communists winning big city races and “Christian nationalist” energy rising on the right. We talk Thomas Massie, Tea Party lessons, third parties vs takeover, and how a new coalition could actually change things from the bottom up if we stop playing make believe with polite old school politics.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made even more of a fool of herself in a new interview on CNN after making false claims about Republicans’ relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. An Amazon executive said “we are not going anywhere” when asked about Seattle’s business climate. Commuters on SR 167 are bracing for delays with bridge construction about to begin. // Trump lashed out at Democrats in Congress who posted a video calling on the military to disobey orders. // Some people might have to start paying a fee to get through security at the airport.

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. Mamdanism President Trump will meet New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House, a high-profile sit-down that underscores deep ideological divides. Buck analyzes Mamdani’s progressive agenda, including proposals for rent freezes, free public buses, and universal childcare, arguing these policies mirror failed socialist experiments and will worsen housing scarcity in New York City. He explains how government intervention in markets—such as rent control—creates artificial constraints that drive up costs and reduce housing availability, citing economic principles from Hayek’s Road to Serfdom. Buck warns that Mamdani’s tax-hike plans targeting corporations and high earners will further destabilize the city’s economy. FL Gov. Ron DeSantis Buck welcomes FL Governor Ron DeSantis for an in-depth discussion on Florida’s bold proposal to eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties. DeSantis explains the economic rationale: skyrocketing property valuations are squeezing young families, while local governments have ballooned budgets from $32 billion in 2019 to $56 billion today. He argues that cutting homestead property taxes would protect true homeownership, reduce market distortions, and leverage Florida’s unique tax base, which relies heavily on non-resident property owners. DeSantis outlines plans for a 2026 ballot initiative, addresses concerns about special interests, and contrasts Florida’s lean, results-driven governance with New York’s bloated spending under progressive leadership. The conversation also touches on New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s agenda, warning that policies like rent freezes and anti-police measures will accelerate urban decline. WI Sen. Ron Johnson Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who discusses alarming revelations about the FBI’s handling of the Thomas Crooks assassination attempt on President Trump. Johnson suggests the Bureau may have withheld critical information about Crooks’ online activity, including radicalization indicators, and criticizes the lack of transparency despite bipartisan efforts to investigate. He confirms his committee is pursuing independent inquiries and warns that more details will surface. The conversation shifts to the Epstein Transparency Act, which passed Congress with near-unanimous support. Johnson explains why the Senate fast-tracked the measure and outlines concerns about protecting victims while ensuring public disclosure. He predicts the DOJ will release files within 30 days of Trump’s signature, though some material may remain withheld for legal reasons. Buck and Johnson agree this rare bipartisan moment reflects overwhelming public demand for accountability in the Epstein case. Johnson also tackles FBI abuses under “Operation Arctic Frost,” describing it as a partisan dragnet targeting Trump allies, Republican groups, and even ordinary citizens in Wisconsin. He calls for full exposure of communications between Biden officials and outside legal operatives, framing the probe as an attempt to criminalize lawful political activity. The senator further advocates ending the Senate filibuster, aligning with Trump’s position to secure election integrity, repair Obamacare’s failures, and advance conservative reforms. Bye, Bye, Dept. of Ed? Buck analyzes Karoline Leavitt’s fiery White House briefing, where she announced a major step toward dismantling the Department of Education. Leavitt detailed plans to redistribute its functions across other agencies, moving toward Trump’s campaign promise to return education control to states and eliminate federal overreach. Buck applauds the move, arguing the Department has long served as a progressive policy arm rather than an educational necessity. The show also previews Trump’s upcoming meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, which Levitt characterized as a stark contrast between Trump’s pragmatic leadership and Mamdani’s far-left agenda. Buck predicts fireworks from the meeting and critiques Mamdani’s socialist proposals, including rent freezes and free public transit, as disastrous for New York’s economy.

In this conversation, Carl Jackson and his guest David Pollack talk about the complexities of voter behavior, particularly in relation to Donald Trump's appeal. He emphasizes that voting for Trump does not equate to a commitment to the Republican Party, highlighting how Trump resonates with middle America by addressing their concerns in a way that traditional Republicans do not. Pollack argues that understanding this dynamic is crucial for comprehending the current political landscape.

-- On the Show: -- Attorney General Pam Bondi refuses to answer questions on what the next steps for releasing the Epstein files will be, leaving the process uncertain -- Trump is losing control over Republicans as his efforts to stop the release of Epstein files fail and MAGA lawmakers ignore his pleas -- A PBS/NPR/Marist poll shows Democrats leading Republicans by 14 points with independents strongly favoring Democrats -- Rep. James Comer admits that if an Epstein list does not exist, Congress may need to construct one to investigate potential law violations -- HUD Secretary Scott Turner falsely claims undocumented immigrants can get mortgages while ignoring that federal law requires legal identification and residency for mortgages -- Trump consistently reacts with anger, insults, and intimidation when challenged by female reporters, reflecting insecurity and childhood influence -- Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly criticizes Trump for fighting the release of Epstein files, arguing he is tearing apart the MAGA movement -- Trump makes exaggerated and incoherent claims about Jerome Powell, jobs, inflation, and Walmart Thanksgiving meals while speaking to the public -- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt calls the Epstein story a "classic Washington hoax" and gives awkward responses to personal questions -- On the Bonus Show: Zohran Mamdani to meet with Trump at the White House, the DOJ is directed to sue states that pass AI regulations, the FHFA is considering three new mortgage options, and much more...

On episode 106 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers… President Trump has been under enormous pressure to release the Epstein Files. Republicans–who wanted the files released under President Biden–are now twisting themselves into knots trying to protect Trump’s reputation. Democrats are also finding themselves mentioned more than they’d like in what’s been released thus far. As it turns out, proximity to power knows no partisan bounds. MAYBE having transparency into the crimes of the most infamous pedophile in modern history is good in-and-of itself and should never have been a partisan issue… Trump’s DOJ never misses an opportunity to engage in more injustice with the latest being federal prosecutors pushing to release one of Breonna Taylor’s killers. Ben Shapiro and others are also advocating for the release of Derek Chauvin, the officer who murdered George Floyd. AND Our guest today is the Attorney General of Massachusetts, Andrea Campbell. AG Campbell has been a leader in the push back against the Trump administration having filed more than 40 lawsuits to halt some of their dangerous actions. She led a group of AG’s in a lawsuit to release SNAP funds during the shutdown, and she’s been fighting to preserve DEIA initiatives in MA schools, and protect immigrants here legally on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) who have been getting picked up by ICE. There’s a push in several red states to allow pregnant women to park in handicapped spaces. Sounds fine, right? When we take a closer look we see a classic far-right strategy to pit one group against the other, in this case, the disabled community vs. women. Tiffany Cross walks us through the nuance.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down President Trump's one trillion dollar deal with Saudi Arabia, the political risk created by the lingering 9/11 lawsuit, the White House's continued push for foreign labor, and new polling that shows major headwinds for Republicans. The global brief then moves to Russian sabotage across Europe, Chinese made vehicles spying on Western militaries, and new research from Australia on autism and prenatal nutrition. Trump Signs One Trillion Dollar Saudi Deal: President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman agreed to sweeping partnerships that span nuclear energy, rare earth mining, financial services, liquified natural gas, advanced AI chips, and the sale of up to forty eight F-35 fighter jets. The deal promises major job gains in states like Texas, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Arizona, and Louisiana. Bryan notes that Congress must still approve the fighter sales and that Israel will require a guaranteed technological edge before any jets reach Riyadh. He also warns that the 9/11 families' lawsuit against the Saudi government could disrupt everything. Court filings allege that two Saudi linked men assisted the first hijackers upon arrival in the United States, and a judge has ruled that the evidence is strong enough to move forward. Foreign Labor Controversy and Political Fallout: Trump defended his plan to use H-1B workers for new chip and battery factories, arguing that American workers are not trained for these roles. He acknowledged that the stance is hurting his poll numbers but insisted that "smart people" support his position. Bryan outlines why many conservatives see this as a repeat of past Big Tech abuses and why Silicon Valley's financial support could become a liability for the White House if working class voters feel sidelined. Polls show two thirds of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track, Trump's approval rating sits around thirty eight percent in public surveys, and Democrats hold a fourteen point lead on the congressional generic ballot. Economic Signals Remain Mixed: The trade deficit fell twenty four percent as Americans purchased more U.S. made goods, suggesting the tariffs are strengthening domestic manufacturing. Construction data shows modest growth in housing but weakness in commercial projects. Foreclosures are rising, and Zillow reports that homeowners now face sixteen thousand dollars in annual upkeep on average. Bryan cautions that unless working families feel real relief by summer, the midterms could be difficult for Republicans. Russia Sabotages European Rail Lines: Poland confirmed that Russian intelligence directed two sabotage attempts on rail lines used to deliver weapons and aid to Ukraine. Explosives were placed to derail a passenger train, and investigators arrested two Ukrainian men recruited through online channels. Bryan connects this attack to a wider hybrid war across Europe directed by the GRU, including recent attempts to set off explosives in air cargo shipments. Italy's defense minister declared that Europe is under attack, although Bryan notes that European militaries are too hollowed out to respond meaningfully for years to come. China's Electric Cars and Buses Act as Spy Platforms: The United Kingdom warned that Chinese made hybrid and electric vehicles can record conversations and transmit data back to Beijing. Norway found that Chinese electric buses can be hacked and remotely controlled even in deep underground environments. Israel seized seven hundred Chinese government vehicles after discovering data gathering sensors. Bryan reminds listeners that he first warned of this surveillance threat years ago and says Western governments are only now catching up. Australia Links Prenatal Nutrition to Lower Autism Risk: Researchers found that prenatal supplements containing folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iodine, and other micronutrients are associated with a thirty percent reduction in autism risk. Scientists suspect a connection to the mother's gut microbiome and its influence on fetal development. Bryan notes that similar gut based treatments have shown promise in Europe and the United States and encourages listeners to remain open to emerging science.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Saudi one trillion dollar deal, F-35 sale approval Congress, Saudi 9/11 lawsuit al-Bayoumi al-Thumairy, Trump H-1B foreign workers battery factories, U.S. trade deficit drop tariffs, Poland Russia rail sabotage Ukraine, Chinese electric vehicle spying UK Norway Israel, prenatal vitamins autism Australia study

In the wake of a bad election for Republicans, the Trump Administration seems to be reeling a bit as it looks for a new direction heading into Trump's second year of this term. Yet time remains to step away from the ledge, button up and course correct before midterms. This week, Matthew Peterson joins the guys as they unravel dissatisfactions on the right and note potential MAGA comebacks. Meanwhile, Vanity Fair West Coast editor Olivia Nuzzi's memoir generates a seedy sort of buzz as alleged details emerge about her sexts to RFK Jr., in case you were worried there might be depths to which journalists would not sink.

Political commentator Scott Jennings has been called the “conservative explaining Red America to CNN viewers.” As the in-house Republican on CNN's NewsNight With Abby Phillips debate panels, he often acts as a de facto Trump spokesman at the table. Jennings has been in Republican politics for more than two decades. In the mid-aughts he worked as a Special Assistant to President George W. Bush, and later advised Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell in multiple campaigns. Jennings was openly critical of President Trump before and during his first term, especially after the January 6th attacks. But in his new book, A Revolution of Common Sense: How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western Civilization, Jennings argues that Donald Trump's second term is not just a political comeback, but a transformation of the presidency itself. Kara and Scott spar about the Epstein files, discuss what they mean for the MAGA movement, and whether Trump's policies are really “common sense.” Plus, how Scott turned into a MAGA man and why he likes being the odd-Republican-out at CNN.

On Tuesday, a federal court blocked Texas from using its newly drawn congressional map in the 2026 midterms– a decision now in limbo as Republicans look to the Supreme Court for a potential reversal. Rep.

Jason Chaffetz, Fox News Contributor, host of the podcast Jason In the House, former House Oversight Committee Chairman, and author of They're Coming For You: How Deep State Spies, NGOs, and Woke Corporations Plan to Push You Out of the Economy, joined The Guy Benson Show today to react to Jasmine Crockett's wild claim that numerous Republicans received donations from "Jeffrey Epstein," even though she clearly failed to mention that this was an entirely different individual than the infamous Epstein. Chaffetz and Benson discussed how Crockett chases viral moments instead of representing her constituents via stunts like this in the House. Guy and Jason then broke down the "refuse illegal orders" video from prominent Democrats who told soldiers to reject vaguely defined commands, and why these members of Congress are doing a huge disservice to the country, and might be bordering on treason.

Led by President Donald Trump, Republicans in Congress are solidifying their opposition to extending pandemic-era subsidies for Affordable Care Act plans and seem to be coalescing around giving money directly to consumers to spend on health care. Meanwhile, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to leave his mark on the agency, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention altering its website to suggest childhood vaccines could play a role in causing autism. Paige Winfield Cunningham of The Washington Post, Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico Magazine, and Shefali Luthra of The 19th join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss those stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews Avik Roy, a GOP health policy adviser and co-founder and chair of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity.  Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: CNBC's “Cheaper Medicines, Free Beach Trips: U.S. Health Plans Tap Prescriptions That Feds Say Are Illegal,” by Scott Zamost, Paige Tortorelli, and Melissa Lee.  Paige Winfield Cunningham: The Wall Street Journal's “Medicaid Insurers Promise Lots of Doctors. Good Luck Seeing One,” by Christopher Weaver, Anna Wilde Mathews, and Tom McGinty.  Joanne Kenen: ProPublica's “What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic,” by Nat Lash.  Shefali Luthra: ProPublica's “‘Ticking Time Bomb': A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldn't Get an Abortion in Texas,” by Kavitha Surana and Lizzie Presser.  

Today on Stinchfield, we shine a white-hot spotlight on the corruption that Washington pretends doesn’t exist: insider trading by members of Congress. Yesterday’s hearing exposed exactly what we’ve been warning about for years, politicians using their power, their committees, their classified briefings, and your tax dollars to line their own pockets. And while Nancy Pelosi’s stunning stock gains always steal the headlines, she’s far from alone. We dig into the outrageous trades made by both Democrats and Republicans, the patterns that match policy decisions a little too perfectly, and the bipartisan refusal to pass the one law that would destroy their cash machine: a total ban on trading individual stocks. Grant lays out why the American people are being played for suckers, and why ending congressional insider trading is the reform we desperately need. Then, we turn to the NBA—where free speech goes to die. Brooklyn Nets star Michael Porter Jr., known online as “MAGA Porter Jr.”, has reportedly been told by the Brooklyn Nets to tone down or outright silence his political views. Imagine that: an athlete forced to censor his beliefs, not because he broke any rules, not because of misconduct, but because his opinions don’t align with the approved narrative. Grant breaks down how this fits the larger pattern of cultural censorship in America, why athletes are allowed to be political only when they parrot left-wing talking points, and what Porter’s situation reveals about the state of free expression in professional sports. All that and more—today on Stinchfield. https://GrantLovesGold.com www.EnergizedHealth.com/Grant www.PatriotMobile.com/Grant Https://Twc.Health/Grant Use "Grant" for 10% Off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Democrats' recent, high-profile gubernatorial and mayoral victories across the country proved the value in candidates sticking to their pro-equality values. Whereas former presidential candidate Kamala Harris dodged Republicans' notorious, bigoted anti-transgender playbook from the 2024 presidential election cycle, Virginia's governor-elect, Abigail Spanberger, and New Jersey's governor-elect, Mikie Sherrill, confronted pronoun panic and proved that Democrats are, indeed, for you in being there for everyone. New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani produced extra credit with his ad highlighting legendary trans and gay rights activist Sylvia Rivera. Mamdani highlighted trans people's essential role in NYC history and how he'll help trans people in the future as part of his official mayoral platform.This week, Katelyn and Christine cancel anti-trans political ads with help from friend of the pod Laurel Powell, director of communications for the Human Rights Campaign and an advocate in her own right.Stream on our YouTube channel—remember to ring the bell!

Kenny Webster interviews AI expert Larry Ward.

In this conversation, Carl Jackson and his guest David Pollack talk about the complexities of voter behavior, particularly in relation to Donald Trump's appeal. He emphasizes that voting for Trump does not equate to a commitment to the Republican Party, highlighting how Trump resonates with middle America by addressing their concerns in a way that traditional Republicans do not. Pollack argues that understanding this dynamic is crucial for comprehending the current political landscape.

“Politics, economy, and power moves – real talk with Tara

In this explosive episode, we dive deep into the Bush family's alleged plans to retake the GOP and their long-standing influence on American politics. Highlights include: How the Bushes allegedly used money bombs to control Republican primaries

“The Russia collusion hoax, Trump's betrayal, and the GOP insider game exposed.” ⚡

On this edition of Political Breakfast: Democrats are calling it "Brian's Blunder." That's referring to a campaign ad for Republicans to unseat Democratic U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff in 2026. In it, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is supporting former University of Tennessee football coach, and political outsider, Derek Dooley. The ad blames Dooley's opponents who already have power in Washington for the longest government shutdown in U.S. history: Republican U.S. Representatives Buddy Carter and Mike Collins. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson delve deeper with Lisa Rayam, into why state and national Republicans are criticizing Kemp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin count down the days before the Presidential Turkey Pardon. In the meantime, let's roast this pig. Everyone's most hated president Donald K. Trump has achieved new disapproval like no one has ever seen. Fox News says "Sir, no one is inferior to you, Sir. The Trump Era is over… maybe for the last time. All that's left is the shouting and the threats, including death threats, of course. Republicans are being swept into the undertow. Most Gops will have a tough time finding new jobs. Mike Johnson won't be getting a recommendation.  Democrats are, well, the other choice, so they have that going for them. But they also have Chuck Schumer… The jobs report is pretty good for a few months ago. How does Lindsey Halligan do it? Well, it ends up that Lindsey didn't do half of what she needed to do in the James Comey political vengeance case, other than to make it clear that the only objective was political vengeance.  Gop gerrymanders seem like a pretty bad idea in hindsight, and probably in foresight, had any Gops had any. Turning Point USA is a den of iniquity. House Gops cut Dan Crenshaw off. Not just alcohol, but from even hanging around them for a while. A Republican staffer for Jeff Van Drew who hired a professional to disfigure her, might be mentally ill, but she couldn't have done it on her own.

Ryan Girdusky is filling in for Miranda who is out sick, he and Meghan have a lot of chaos to unpack. They break down the Epstein files fight in Congress, why Speaker Johnson and Trump keep tripping over their own messaging, and what Democrats are really hoping to find. Ryan explains Clay Higgins' lone “no” vote, Stacey Plaskett reading from Epstein's email scripts, and how much of this is about justice for victims versus 2026/2028 politics. Then they get into the growing rift on the right: Marjorie Taylor Greene's very public break with Trump, the “America Only” faction, and what it all means for Vice President J.D. Vance heading into 2028. Ryan and Meghan talk about independents, the Republican primary map, how long Trump actually controls the party, and why “internet right-wing” vibes don't match what real voters care about. There is also reaction to Michelle Obama's “America isn't ready for a woman president” comments and her never-ending complaining on that podcast tour, talk Target's surprising sales slump even as moms like Meghan and Miranda are still basically living there, and finish with a little Real Housewives of Salt Lake City gossip. Live audience questions from Haylee and Mallory keep the conversation grounded in what independents and center-right women are really thinking. Learn more about your ad choices.
