    The Daily Blast: Trump Shivs JD Vance as Meltdown over GOP Losses Takes Unhinged Turn

    Donald Trump, fuming over the midterms, just unleashed a new series of crazed Truth Social Posts. He again threatened to prosecute Democrats. He raged that Republicans only lost because they failed to pass voter suppression. And critically, he bizarrely decreed that JD Vance will only be assigned to fighting supposed blue-state corruption from now on. Trump ordered Vance to forget about negotiating an end to the war, delusionally insisting we’ve already won so much that “we don’t need a deal with Iran.” That totally shivs Vance. It punishes him for blaming the war for GOP losses. And it prevents him from repositioning for 2028 by getting on the right side of the Iran fiasco. We talked to Zack Beauchamp, author of the excellent new Public Reason Substack, which is devoted to rehabilitating liberalism. We discuss how Trump kneecapped Vance, why this shows MAGA can’t accept that its worldview unleashed the electoral debacle, how this reveals the deeper failings of right wing nationalism, and how liberals can seize this moment to make a new case for their ideas.

    The nuclear capability Australia already has

    What would Australia lose if our existing nuclear capabilities stopped operating tomorrow? How does nuclear science already support Australians – from healthcare and critical minerals to national security? As AUKUS expands Australia’s nuclear ambitions, what do policymakers need to know about the capability we already have – and what it will take to prepare for the future? In this episode, Sharryn Parker is joined by Dr Miles Apperley to discuss Australia’s nuclear research capabilities and the important role they play in the country’s sovereign capability and national security. Sharryn Parker is Senior Policy Advisor at the ANU National Security College, on secondment from the Department of Defence.

  • What's behind the push to have abusive SLAPP lawsuits banned in Australia?

    What's behind the push to have abusive SLAPP lawsuits banned in Australia?

    Everyone has the right to their day in court. But what happens when the legal system is used to intimidate, exhaust or silence people from speaking out on issues of public importance? A coalition of civil society groups is calling for federal legislation to ban strategic litigation against public participation (SLAPP), known to be used by governments, corporations and powerful individuals to suppress criticism and scrutiny. The Law Report speaks to human rights barrister and Sydney Peace Prize laureate Jennifer Robinson about how lawsuits have been used to target environmental campaigners, journalists, and women who speak out about gender violence and sexual assault.

  • Ep 279 — The Lamest Duck

    Ep 279 — The Lamest Duck

    DOCKET ALERTS:   Congratulations to Senator Elect Scott Colom!   The Trump administration and the Senate Judiciary Committee are conniving to jam through two judicial nominees in Texas. One is T. Elliott Gaiser, the hack crapping out nonsense legal opinions at the Office of Legal Counsel. The other, James Sullivan,  was just rejected by the voters of Texas to serve on the state's Supreme Court.   Sen. Richard Blumenthal published a report on $133.5 million in funds allocated to prevent human trafficking which the Trump administration refused to spend. Add it to the pile of impoundment violations that Dems will sue over in January.   Judge Ana Reyes will hold a hearing Friday morning in the DC golf course case. Associate Attorney General Stan Woodward's presence will be required. Don Jr. is ending his affiliation with Kalshi after taking a similar role with Polymarket. Funny how neither company minded sharing the dimwit dauphin before the election!   MAIN SHOW:   The Trump DOJ is accelerating its attacks on media, particularly using subpoenas and searches to discover sources. This week the Fourth Circuit pushed back, with the help of LinkedIn, which sued to block a subpoena for reporters' metadata.   Meanwhile, the DOJ is toying with the idea of charging the New York Times as a co-conspirator in the latest James Comey case. And in DC, Jeanine Pirro is on a mission to find the leaker in the Dobbs case.   Alina Habba got fired from her $50M gig as "counsel" to a shell company owned by a Venezuelan banker after Trump called it "obnoxious and outrageous." And investigators from the Office of Attorney Ethics in New Jersey found that she committed misconduct when she persuaded a waitress at Trump's New Jersey golf club to take a measly $15,000 settlement in her sexual harassment case.   The Trump DOJ continues to harass Democratic politicians and threaten to investigate them if they use their position to conduct oversight of the Trump administration next year. White House Counsel Will Scharf sent a preposterous letter to Rep. Robert Garcia, the incoming Oversight chair. And Aaron Reitz, the US Attorney for the Southern District of Texas, tweeted out a bumptious threat to Senator Richard Blumenthal.   Back in DC, Todd Blanche's enforcer Aakash Singh tells US Attorneys to get on board or GTFO.   SUBSCRIBER BONUS:   Trump appointee Judge Jeffrey Kunst has found a way to avoid dismissing Trump's defamation trollsuit against the BBC for lack of personal jurisdiction. And it is to utterly disregard every law and precedent about personal jurisdiction.   Sen. Blumenthal's Report on Unspent Funds to Combat Human Trafficking https://www.blumenthal.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2026-11-9_final_report_ovc_human_trafficking_grants.pdf   DC Preservation League v.

    Mike Repole, entrepreneur: You’ve got to keep challenging

    “They used to ask champions like Kobe [Bryant] and Tom Brady, ‘which championship is your favourite?’ - and they would say ‘the next one’. The next one, that's what they wanted. Life is a journey, and they say it's better than the destination… but I don't believe that there is a destination. Your destination is a hundred years from now when we're not here, so just keep going - you just keep pushing, keep challenging.” Hannah Mullane speaks to American entrepreneur Mike Repole. The 57-year-old New Yorker’s journey to the top of the US beverage industry had a very humble beginning at a supermarket in Queens, where he’d stack shelves as a teenager. In 1999, he co-founded Glaceau, the manufacturer behind Vitaminwater. The business grew rapidly, and just 8 years later, he made headlines when it was sold to Coca Cola in a deal worth over 4 billion US dollars. But despite the huge windfall, Repole opted against retiring. Instead he went on to launch new business ventures, partnering with some of the biggest names in sport, including Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady. As of 2026, Forbes has estimated his wealth at 2.5 billion US dollars. Thank you to the Business Daily team for their help in making this programme.

    Behind the Scenes of China's Fifth Plenum

    In this episode of Pekingology, Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Victor Shih, one of the world's leading experts in Chinese politics, as well as Edgard Kagan, Freeman Chair in China Studies at CSIS, to unpack the Chinese Communist Party's 5th Plenum - a critical meeting in which Xi Jinping sought to strengthen the Party and reinforce his personal control over it. Henrietta, Victor, and Edgard discuss why the plenums still matter in an era of one-man rule, why this plenum elevated so-called "intra-party democracy," what it's actually like to attend the plenum, and what this all means for U.S.-China relations.
