06-22-26 Part One - Muddy Waters

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, President Trump says he has "inspected" the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC, and that "work will begin immediately" to repair the American landmark. Despite a recent multi-million dollar renovation, including a fresh coat of blue paint, the historic structure continues to face issues - most prominently algae turning the water a bright shade of green. *Gary offers his advice on pool maintenance as he is updating his own pool. Also the Obama Presidential Center tower is a monument to the former president’s ego / Trump gets softer toward Iran as the MoU falters / JD Vance's comments on Israel and Hezbollah / and headlines from The Babylon Bee.

The Malicious Incompetence of Trump's DOJ

Kate and Leah cover this week’s three Supreme Court opinions—one featuring a killer Ketanji Brown Jackson dissent—before turning to legal news, where bad behavior is everywhere. We’ve got a violent judge who can’t park in Idaho, politically motivated prosecutors in Chicago, and Trump’s generationally incompetent personal lawyers failing to do basic lawyering. Finally, Leah speaks with Mary Moriarty, Hennepin County (MN) Attorney, about the charges her office has filed against ICE agents, the breakdown in cooperation between local authorities and the feds, and FAFO, the new coalition of prosecutors fighting back against federal overreach. The paperback edition of Leah’s book, Lawless, featuring brand-new material is out on Tuesday, June 16.

06-23-26 Part One - The DSA Aims for Congress

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the election of Zohran Mamdani was just the beginning, Democratic socialists are back in the spotlight after notching two high-profile mayoral primary victories in major cities this month. While some see the results as a sign that DSA candidates and ideas are gaining traction in the Democratic Party, others caution against drawing broader ideological conclusions, saying the races reflect voters’ desire for change as the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential election loom. Also audio from CNN anylist Harry Entin on the lack of patriotism from Democrats / a discussion on MediCare and MedicAid / and the Memorandum of "Misunderstanding".

The Daily Blast: Trump Rages over Reflecting Pool Fiasco as Arrests over it Grow Darker

Donald Trump’s renovation of the Reflecting Pool is a major fiasco, and it’s getting him angrier. In Truth Social posts, he raged at a journalist for covering the story. He fulminated that vandals had cut at 250-foot gash in the facade (which is entirely unverified). He hailed multiple arrests at the scene. He even angrily threatened 10 years in jail. Yet these arrests are only growing more questionable. One man detained is a 67-year-old former Olympian who said he just wanted to examine the peeling coating. Another person detained said she was merely pulling a piece of paint out of the water. These explanations, plus the tenuousness of Trump’s claims of vandalism, suggest a darker turn in the story. We talked to New Republic editor Michael Tomasky about his good piece on this whole mess. We discuss why Trump doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt on the arrests, why this story has deeper resonance for many ordinary people, and what it captures about Trump’s effort to destroy republican governance and turn Washington into an imperial capital, with himself in the role of “czar.” Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Optimist Q&A: The AI Bubble, the Rapture, and Free Lunch

We can’t give financial advice. Or feedback on your 20-page tax proposal. But economist Kathryn Edwards did take a run at nearly 20 listener questions in under 60 minutes. Among them: Why care about birth rates if robots are taking all the jobs? What happens if the AI bubble bursts? Will the dollar collapse? Can the bond market sway the White House? Plus: Why the minimum wage matters even if it doesn’t alleviate most poverty and how to argue for universal free school lunch.
