How Bad Is Trump's Attorney General Pick?

Kate brings you a triptych of legal happenings this week. First, the latest news with friend of the pod Katie Phang, including a look at Todd Blanche’s Senate confirmation hearing, which certainly confirmed one thing: once you’re Trump’s personal lawyer, you’re forever Trump’s personal lawyer. Then, a conversation about making the courts an electoral issue and why we need fresh candidates for judicial seats with Run for Something’s Amanda Litman. Finally, ahead of a crucial August 4th ballot measure in Kansas, Kate speaks with Micah Kubic, Executive Director of the ACLU of Kansas, and Emily Wales, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, about how Republicans in Kansas are trying to change how justices are selected for the state supreme court in order to walk back abortion rights.

The Daily Blast: Trump’s Plot to Rig Midterms Gets So Unhinged that Even Fox Is Rattled

During his prime-time speech dissembling endlessly about our elections, Donald Trump raged at news organizations for refusing to carry him live. Then his Homeland Security secretary also smeared the media, a sign Trump’s fury continues to deepen. We think this means Trump fully expects news organizations to help him amplify his lies about our elections to sow distrust in them. As we discuss in this episode, his speech revealed that he’s plainly mulling an effort to rig the midterms, and sowing that distrust is key to it. A funny thing, though: Fox News explicitly declined to endorse his claims and refrained from carrying his DHS secretary. And according to Fox sources, insiders were dismayed to hear Trump obsessing over our elections, thought it was bad politics for the GOP, and even worried it was bad for business given post-2020 litigation against Fox. We talked to Harvard political scientist Ryan Enos, who explains how Trump is telegraphing an authoritarian plot to corrupt the elections, why the assaults on the media are central to that, and what we must see in response from Democrats and the American people.

#665: Secrets of the Black Sun Rising | Matt Ehret

Occultism was prominent in the highest echelon of the Third Reich, and mysterious figures from the shadows played outsized roles in the future of Germany. Upper management within the Nazi S.S. was reserved for those enlightened in the dark arts, with Aleister Crowley and Helena Blavatsky heavily influencing those in positions of great power. Expeditions were launched globally to explore places under Antarctica, mysterious locations in the Andes of Peru, and the entrance to the hidden kingdom of Shambala inside the hollow Earth in Tibet, all searching for confirmation of their superiority through the collection of ancient artifacts. What did they find in these magical places, and did the Nazis really lose the war?

From Putin to Trump: 5 Times FIFA Bent the Knee

FIFA calls itself the guardian of the world's game — but pull back the curtain, Tara Palmeri argues, and it looks less like a sports body and more like a global power broker where politics and money matter more than soccer. In this documentary-style breakdown, Tara is joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Ken Bensinger, author of "Red Card: How the U.S. Blew the Whistle on the World's Biggest Sports Scandal," to walk through FIFA's most damning chapters. They trace the through-line of patronage: Russia's bribe-fueled 2018 World Cup and Gianni Infantino's full-throated embrace of Vladimir Putin (who awarded him the Order of Friendship at the Kremlin); the 1978 tournament staged in Argentina under a murderous military dictatorship; Qatar 2022, won through bribery and built by migrant workers who died by the thousands, then defended by Infantino's surreal "Today I feel Qatari, today I feel a migrant worker" speech; and the engineered 2034 process that cleared every rival so Saudi Arabia could win unopposed — shortly before state oil giant Aramco signed a massive FIFA sponsorship. Finally, they get to the 2026 World Cup on North American soil, where — for the first time in 60 years — a red-card suspension was overturned, not through a referee appeal, but after President Trump personally called the FIFA president. Bensinger explains why, given everything about how FIFA operates, that stunning reversal was almost inevitable — and how Infantino's cultivation of Trump, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia keeps the money flowing and his grip on power secure. 0:00 – FIFA as a global power broker: meet reporter Ken Bensinger 0:43 – Russia 2018: bribes, sanctions, and Infantino's embrace of Putin 1:49 – Argentina 1978: a World Cup under a military dictatorship 2:13 – Qatar 2022: bribery, migrant worker deaths, and the "Today I feel…" speech 3:58 – The Saudi Arabia 2034 maneuver — and the Aramco sponsorship 5:23 – Trump's phone call that overturned a red card at the 2026 World Cup 6:53 – Infantino's grip on power, an $11 billion World Cup, and dodging questions Learn more about your ad choices.

Kate is joined by returning guest and friend of the show, Kim Lane Scheppele, the Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Sociology and International Affairs at Princeton, and one of the world’s leading scholars of democratic backsliding, autocracy, and the rule of law.

07-17-26 Part One - Wildfires and Election Fraud

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, officials and health experts expressed growing concern on Thursday about dangerously poor air quality across much of the northeastern United States and southern Canada, as a cloud of dense smoke from scores of raging wildfires darkened skies and irritated throats from the Great Lakes to New England. As the wildfires continued to burn, sensors that monitor the air quality index for millions of people recorded figures sometimes nearly twice as high as what is considered hazardous. Also the Mamdani administration wants landlords to pay for credit checks for rental applicants / audio from President Trump from Thursday night's speech on voter fraud and China's influence / 83% of the population believe they are being effected by fraud in the election system / the major networks choose not to carry the President's speech / audio from Senator Rand Paul on how easy it is to uncover fraud (i.e. a young man with a phone camera in Minnesota) / and the blinding insanity of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. For more talk on the issues that matter to you, listen on radio stations across America Monday-Friday 12am-5am CT (1am-6am ET and 10pm-3am PT), download the RED EYE RADIO SHOW app, asking your smart speaker, or listening at RedEyeRadioShow.com.

Maggie Haberman, US journalist: Trump tests limits

“One of the things that’s fascinating about him simply as a historical study is the recognition that shamelessness is a superpower, and he refuses to be shamed in almost any action that he takes. He also realised that he doesn’t have to abide by the US system, which is primarily norms and not laws. He is testing them in a way they have never been tested before.” Paddy O’Connell speaks to Maggie Haberman, White House correspondent for The New York Times and co-author of Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. Maggie gives her take on Trump’s second administration, from the influence of Elon Musk to his increasingly fraught dealings with world leaders. She also explains her belief Trump’s second presidency is fundamentally different from his first, and how he is testing the limits of presidential power. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world. The best interviews coming from the BBC, including episodes with Google CEO Sundar Pichai and author Maggie O’Farrell. You can listen on the BBC World Service on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 0800 GMT. Or you can listen to The Interview as a podcast, out three times a week on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts.

Episode 426: Noahide Laws

As a precursor to "Exposing the Matrix: Layer 9 - Religion and the Counterfeit Church, we explain what the Noahide Laws are and why they have become the subject of growing concern among many Christians. In this episode of The Fact Hunter, we examine the origins of the Noahide Laws, how they are understood within Judaism, and why some believers fear they could one day be used to restrict the public proclamation of the gospel. We discuss the biblical claim that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone, the conflict between that message and any system that rejects Him as the Messiah, and what Scripture says about standing firm in the faith during times of increasing opposition. Whether you're hearing about the Noahide Laws for the first time or have been researching the topic yourself, this episode encourages listeners to test every claim against the Word of God, remain grounded in biblical truth, and be prepared to faithfully proclaim Christ regardless of the cost.
