    Protect the Ballot: SAVE Act Stunt, Mail-In Threats & 2026 Readiness

    Today on DEFIANCE Weekly Mission Briefing, Xander and Miles focus on one urgent question: What can you do to protect the ballot in 2026? As Trump pushes the SAVE Act, attacks mail-in voting, and revives 2020 election lies, we break down what’s real, what’s political theater, and where the true threats lie. Former Congressman Denver Riggleman, Black Voters Matter’s Cliff Albright, Faith in Action’s Bishop Dwayne Royster, FL-27 candidate Robin Peguero, and Kim Rogers of the State + Local Election Alliance join us with concrete steps to defend election workers, fight disinformation, and protect local races before they’re decided by a handful of votes.

    Colbert Mocks FCC Pressure, Costco Wins with DEI, and the Legacy of Jesse Jackson

    Today on DEFIANCE Daily, Miles breaks down Stephen Colbert openly defying FCC pressure after CBS lawyers blocked his interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico — then told him not to talk about it. He did anyway. Kurt Bardella joins to discuss his new Substack, The Watchdog Report, and how he plans to track the politicians, media executives, and corporate leaders who bow to Trump and abuse power — building a public record of who stood up and who folded. Then: while Target and Walmart retreat from DEI, Costco stands firm — and wins big. And finally, we honor the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson with Pastor Mike McBride of Black Church PAC — and what his model of defiance demands from us now

    The Conspiracy Web, Epstein Reckoning, and DHS Unmasked

    Today on DEFIANCE Daily, Miles Taylor and Xander Schultz break down a growing web of conspiracies driving the Trump administration’s abuse of power. They examine new court filings tying the Fulton County ballot raid directly to a former Trump campaign lawyer, the explosive fallout from partially unredacted Epstein files and bipartisan calls for accountability, and a tense Capitol Hill hearing where immigration chiefs openly admitted mass deportations are the mandate. Veteran journalist and historian Sidney Blumenthal joins the show to tells us why there is still so much more to be discovered.

    Trump Stumbles as Culture Leaves MAGA Behind

    Today on DEFIANCE Daily, Miles Taylor and Xander Schultz cover a rough stretch for Trump and MAGA as Democrats notch more surprise special election wins, Trump publicly claims ownership of the economy, and Turning Point USA’s Super Bowl counter-programming fizzles next to a cultural moment driven by Bad Bunny. They’re joined by Raul Pacheco of Ozomatli, Rise Against frontman Tim McIlrath, and arts organizer Scott Goldstein to talk about music, culture, and why artists speaking out still matters when politics fails.

The show also confronts Trump’s racist post and the White House’s shifting excuses. Mayor Mondale Robinson of the Black Male Voter Project joins to explain why none of this is surprising, how deep disenfranchisement ran in 2024, and what Democrats still fail to understand about earning Black male voters back.
