The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Can Still Lead Without a Third Term

Trump is sending a clear message: he's not going away quietly.


“ If you read The Washington Post, even The Wall Street Journal, but especially The New York Times, the question is, can MAGA survive after Trump steps down?


“ There's arguments on both sides whether a popular movement can survive its creators. …   Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000 to succeed him. And what did Barack Obama do? He repudiated Clintonism and the Democratic Leadership Council. And he went hard to the Left. And the result of that is we got a destroyed or an irrelevant Democratic Party.”

The Bulwark Podcast - S2 Ep1040: Bill Kristol: A Golden 747 from Hamas’s Sugar Daddy

Trump can't abide flying around in crusty, old Air Force One. Qatar—funder of both Hamas and the leading U.S. college Gaza protest group—just happens to have a spare, pimped-out 747 lying around, which they'd like to gift to Trump so he can use that instead. Pay no attention to the complete hypocrisy of an administration that says that students protesting for Gaza are a threat to our foreign policy. Plus, Trump's fake drug price cap, the White House caves to China on tariffs, Herr Miller becomes the leading voice for disappearing people, and Bill tells Tim he's rethinking his position on "Abolish ICE." 

Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.

Marketplace All-in-One - The U.S. and China reach 90-day tariff truce

U.S. tariffs against China have been cut from 145% to 30% as part of a new 90-day trade deal. This is still higher than when President Donald Trump assumed office and could result in higher consumer prices and lower corporate profits. Also: Student loans follow some borrowers into retirement. The number of student borrowers over 62 rose by 59% from 2017 to 2023, and older borrowers are twice as likely to default than their younger peers.

Bad Faith - Episode 473 Promo – Democrats are Making the Case for Leaving the Party (w/ Nick Cruse)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Revolutionary Blackout Network co-founder Nick Cruse returns to Bad Faith to break down the liberal media meltdown over tepid efforts to push the party left. Not only are establishment politicians and commentators quick to decry the "message" of the AOC/Bernie rallies, David Hogg's efforts to primary old guard Democrats have been met with threats to oust him as DNC vice chair. Even James Carville is insisting that progressives leave the party. Broken clock-style, is Carville right? Also, Joe Biden joins The View and doubles down on his fitness to run while throwing Kamala under the bus, and Elizabeth Warren humiliates herself by refusing to admit that Biden hasn't been mentally fit since Rogue One was in theaters. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders repeats Zionist propaganda on the Senate floor. Is this a party that can be saved?
