    The Daily Blast: Why MAGA’s Eruption of Rage at Bannon’s Jail Sentence Is So Alarming

    The Daily Blast: Why MAGA’s Eruption of Rage at Bannon’s Jail Sentence Is So Alarming

    A judge just ordered longtime Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon to surrender to prison on July 1st after his conviction for defying the Jan. 6th committee’s subpoena. Not surprisingly, Trump and MAGA have already exploded in rage. Making this worse, Bannon is one of the leading pro-Trump figures calling on Trump to jail Democrats without cause if he wins the White House—and Bannon’s jail time will only fuel that mania. We talked to Eric Columbus, a lawyer who represented the Jan. 6th committee, about the alarming signals this sends about the perils of a second Trump presidency. Listen to this episode here.

    The Daily Blast: Dems Brutally Shred Shady Wall Street Journal Hit Piece on Biden's Age

    The Daily Blast: Dems Brutally Shred Shady Wall Street Journal Hit Piece on Biden's Age

    On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal published a dodgy hit piece about President Biden’s age. Then something unusual happened: Democratic lawmakers went nuclear on the piece, going on record to forcefully undermine its core assertions. This deserves some discussion: Could Dems better “work the refs” the way Republicans do? When liberals do criticize coverage, why do newsroom leaders shrug it off? Why do editors insult our intelligence with phony justifications for the overemphasis on Biden’s age? We chatted with Aaron Rupar, a shrewd media observer and author of the “Public Notice" Substack, about the deeper problems with the press this episode reveals.

Deep and entertaining views on foreign policy

A variety of engaging panelists convene twice a week to discuss war, peace and the global balance of power. If it sometimes seems like they spend too much time breathlessly fuming about the national tragedy in the United States, the way they bring their collective knowledge and experience to bear on the conversation makes up for the vent-a-matic excesses.
