Swisher and Galloway were discussing the decline of television in the wake of Kimmel’s suspension from ABC when the conversation turned to podcasters.

“I think, look, we got to just burn those ships and move on. That’s the thing, because this is how Trump lives. He lives in the 80s in his head, so CBS, ABC, and NBC are the be-all and end-all,” Swisher argued.

“But they’re not. They’re not influential anymore. We should just move along and make our stuff. We should grow and conservative outlets should grow, whatever it happens to be. I was, although I think Tucker Carlson’s really– something’s going on with him. When he’s articulated, it was absolutely right,” Swisher added.

“We both have our issues with Tucker. I think Tucker right now is the most likely nominee for the Republican nomination. I think he has been very good lately,” Galloway replied — referring to Carlson’s warning against any kind of free speech crackdown following Kirk’s murder.

“Well, he’s consistent at least,” Swisher agreed.

“About housing, for young people, he comes across as intellectually honest. He comes across as courageous, not afraid to go against his own party. And I realize I’m talking our own book here,” Galloway continued, adding:

Our downloads are up 10 percent in the last 30 days. And guess what? Everyone from Megyn Kelly to Joe Rogan, you’re going to see a lot, increasingly people turn to podcasts like The Daily, because The New York Times is fearless and does the work.

You’re just going to see media that is not scared of Brendan Carr, or can’t be controlled by Brendan Carr. Boom, because people are really interested in what’s going on, and they like fearless. You know, I’ll give you an example, Don Lemon.

Clinton Praises Trump’s Hardline Shift on Russia, Says Putin ‘Only Responds to Strength’

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, one of Donald Trump’s fiercest critics, surprised many on Wednesday when she applauded the former president for his new, tougher posture toward Russia.

Speaking on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Clinton acknowledged Trump’s remarks at the UN General Assembly and on Truth Social, where he suggested Ukraine could reclaim “all of Ukraine back in its original form” with support from NATO and European allies. The comments mark a stark departure from Trump’s earlier suggestions that a peace settlement might involve Ukraine ceding territory.

Clinton told host Joe Scarborough, “I welcomed what the president said yesterday. I thought that given all the back-and-forth that we have seen and heard at Anchorage and elsewhere, his coming to grips with the fact that Vladimir Putin does not respond to any kind of rhetoric, he only responds to strength.”

She continued: “You have to show strength. You have to back strength. You have to be strong in order to deal with him.”

Trump’s Shift in Tone

Trump’s comments this week are notable because they reflect mounting frustration with Russia’s faltering military campaign and its weakened economy under international sanctions. Once seen as willing to explore negotiations, Trump is now openly questioning the competence of Moscow’s armed forces.

On Truth Social, he wrote that Kyiv could regain “the original borders from where this war started” with allied support, pointing to Russia’s battlefield struggles and growing financial pressure at home. He also remarked, “What kind of military does Russia have exactly? They couldn’t even take over Ukraine.”

This sharper tone comes after Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in New York. His remarks highlight a recalibration of strategy—one that views backing Ukraine as not only about defending Europe but also about exposing Russia’s vulnerabilities.

Clinton Warns About Russia, Backs Trump’s Message

Clinton, who has long argued that Putin poses a grave threat to Western security, warned that Russia’s aggression is a “clear and present danger to all of Europe and therefore to the United States.”

But she noted that Trump’s message sends the right signal: “And I think if what President Trump said yesterday is if we help Ukraine, Ukraine can hold the line and may even be able to push Russia back.”

For Republicans, Trump’s harder line could signal a growing recognition that strength and leverage—not concessions—are the path to containing Russia. As Clinton put it, Moscow has been badly overestimated: “We overestimated Russia’s military strength and now we’re seeing that they can be pushed back.”

House Democrat Files Articles Of Impeachment Against RFK Jr.

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) is set to introduce articles of impeachment against independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accusing him of creating “health care chaos” tied to his stance on vaccines and public health protocols.

As The Hill reports:

On the social media platform X, Stevens wrote, “Health care chaos. Reckless cuts. Rising costs. Michiganders and families across the country are paying the price for RFK Jr.’s agenda. Enough is enough, which is why I’m drafting articles of impeachment against @SecKennedy.”

Stevens has repeatedly called for Kennedy’s removal from his role since he became health secretary.

She called for Kennedy to resign earlier this month, citing the slashing of medical research for pediatric cancer and vaccines.

“Michiganders are tired of politicians who chase attention and ignore real problems. I’ve seen enough chaos from this administration and from Secretary Kennedy,” Steven said in a statement on Sept. 15.

The resolution is largely symbolic, with little chance of advancing in the Republican-controlled House. But it marks a dramatic escalation in the backlash against Kennedy’s controversial health policies, particularly his vocal opposition to vaccines.

The move is expected to draw strong partisan reactions and further inflame tensions around Kennedy’s role in the 2024 race.

Former FBI Director Indicted But Trump Remarks Signal Potential Problems

A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia has indicted former FBI Director James Comey.

Comey was reportedly indicted on one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice for allegedly lying under oath to Congress. The 12 grand jurors reportedly declined to indict on additional charges.

Comey declared he’s “not afraid” in a video posted to his Instagram responding to his historic indictment on two charges.

“My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either,” began Comey. “Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant and she’s right. But I’m not afraid and I hope you’re not either. I hope instead you are engaged. You are paying attention. And you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does.”

“My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system and I’m innocent,” he concluded. “So let’s have a trial and keep the faith.”

Comey’s son-in-law, a senior federal prosecutor, abruptly resigned Thursday just hours after the former FBI director was indicted on charges of false statements and obstruction.

Troy A. Edwards Jr., a national security prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, stepped down Thursday night with a brief note to his boss.

“To uphold my oath to the Constitution and country, I hereby resign as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in the Department of Justice effective immediately,” Edwards wrote in the letter, posted to X.

The case follows the firing of Comey’s daughter, Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor who has since sued the Justice Department, claiming retaliation tied to her family name.

President Donald Trump unloaded on James Comey, deeming him a “destroyer of lives” in an early morning Truth Social post Friday that also saw him brand the former FBI director a “DIRTY COP.”

On Friday morning, the president unleashed on Comey as “corrupt,” insisting that the former FBI boss “lied” in his testimony and demanding he pay “a very big price”:

Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can’t imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED! It is not a complex lie, it’s a very simple, but IMPORTANT one. There is no way he can explain his way out of it. He is a Dirty Cop, and always has been, but he was just assigned a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge, so he’s off to a very good start. Nevertheless, words are words, and he wasn’t hedging or in dispute. He was very positive, there was no doubt in his mind about what he said, or meant by saying it. He left himself ZERO margin of error on a big and important answer to a question. He just got unexpectedly caught. James “Dirty Cop” Comey was a destroyer of lives. He knew exactly what he was saying, and that it was a very serious and far reaching lie for which a very big price must be paid! President DJT

Trump followed minutes later with an all caps quip:

JAMES COMEY IS A DIRTY COP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Since the indictment, some legal analysts have warned that Trump’s social media posts about Comey could arm the defense with an argument for a selective prosecution motion to dismiss the indictment.

Longtime White House Advisor Announces Exit

    Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich is reportedly leaving the White House, according to reports.

    Budowich’s departure at the end of the month marks one of the highest profile departures from the Trump White House. Budowich oversaw communications, cabinet affairs and speech writing.

    Budowich, a longtime Trump aide, played a large role in the president’s political operation after he left office in 2021. Throughout 2023 and most of 2024, Budowich oversaw the main pro-Trump super PAC. His departure was earlier reported by Axios.

    He plans to return to the private sector after years at Trump’s side, including helming the main pro-Trump super PAC through most of 2023 and 2024, according to Axios and The New York Times.

    The departure is unexpected, given his close relations with Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ operation, and his years leading Trumpworld messaging.

    “Taylor is a dear friend, and I know that President Trump holds him in very high regard. I hate to see him go, personally and professionally, but obviously wish him well in whatever he decides is next,” Wiles told Axios.

    Stephen Miller, a fellow deputy chief of staff, also praised him for his loyalty to Trump.

    Another deputy chief of staff, Dan Scavino, described Budowich as a “vital asset in Trump 2.0.”

    His exit follows a string of high-profile departures from Trump’s second term.

    The White House’s principal deputy communications director, Alex Pfeiffer, quietly made his exit last week after joining the White House in January.

    Report: US Attorney Will Attempt To Charge Former FBI Director James Comey

    In what will likely be an uphill legal battle, the Trump administration’s U.S. attorney in Virginia is reportedly planning to ask a grand jury in the coming days to indict former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress.

    Halligan’s apparent plan to seek charges against Comey follows a clear directive from Trump, who over the weekend directly called for prosecutions against Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James. 

    “Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, and Leticia???” Trump wrote in a social media post on Saturday evening, directly addressing Attorney General Pam Bondi. “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

    Earlier this week, prosecutors presented Lindsey Halligan – Trump’s former personal attorney whom he appointed to lead the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia – with a detailed memo recommending that she decline to bring perjury and obstruction charges against Comey, the sources familiar with the memo said according to ABC News.

    A monthslong investigation into Comey by DOJ prosecutors failed to establish probable cause of a crime — meaning that not only would they be unable to secure a conviction of Comey by proving the claims beyond a reasonable doubt, but that they couldn’t reach a significantly lower standard to secure an indictment, the sources said

    According to sources, Halligan’s deputy — a prosecutor who was briefly assigned to lead the office just a day before Trump appointed Halligan to the high-profile position — has also expressed reservations about bringing the politically charged case. 

    Erik Siebert, Trump’s previous nominee to the position, resigned from the office after sources said he refused to bring charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James over unfounded allegations of mortgage fraud.

    Trump later claimed he “fired” Siebert and quickly installed Halligan into the position, as he continued to make unprecedented calls for the speedy prosecution of his political foes.  

    “I just want people to act, they have to act, and we want to act fast,” Trump said on Saturday. “They were ruthless and vicious. I was impeached twice. I was indicted five times. It turned out to be a fake deal. And we have to act fast, one way or the other, one way or the other: they’re guilty, they’re not guilty. We have to act fast. If they’re not guilty, that’s fine. If they are guilty, or if they should be charged, they should be judged. And we have to do it now.”

    Trump has criticized Comey for years after he briefly served as the director of the FBI during Trump’s first term before being fired over his handling of an investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. 

    The Department of Justice launched an investigation into Comey earlier this year after FBI Director Kash Patel claimed to discover “burn bags” containing sensitive documents at the FBI headquarters related to the Russia probe.

    ‘The View’ Host Admits She ‘Knew’ Her Question Sank Kamala’s White House Bid

    The truth hurts…

    A panel member from “The View” admitted that her question to Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election was more than likely a contributing factor to her unsuccessful campaign.

    Co-host of “The View” Sunny Hostin admitted on Tuesday that she had known in real time that her question — about what she might have done differently than then-President Joe Biden — could cost then Vice President Kamala Harris the 2024 presidential election.

    Harris joined the hosts of ABC’s “The View” for their midday broadcast, where they discussed her upcoming memoir titled “107 Days” — which details the short-lived and ill-fated campaign upon which she embarked just hours after Biden announced his plan to withdraw from the race.

    Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin raised the question about the overall mood of the country at the time, asking whether Harris and her team might have missed signs indicating that Americans were desperate for a seismic shift away from Biden — and already viewed her, his vice president, as an extension of his presidency.

    “Understanding that many people saw you as an extension of Joe Biden, were there glaring warning signs that, when there’s only two options to vote on, that you missed going into election day?” Griffin asked.

    “I’m a loyal person, and I didn’t fully appreciate how much people wanted to know there was a difference between me and president Biden,” Harris replied. “I thought it was obvious, and I didn’t want to offer a difference in a way that would be received or suggested to be a criticism, and, you know, in the campaign full-time I was pointing out the differences.”

    Hostin, who initially asked Harris the question heard around the world — what might Harris have done differently from Biden — said that she had understood the weight of the vice president’s non-answer in the moment.

    “You write you had no idea you just pulled the pin on a hand grenade. In the moment, I knew,” Hostin said, and then argued that the real problem wasn’t Harris and her inability to answer the question, but the way that Trump’s campaign had made use of it. “The Trump campaign weaponized your answer against you; my question.”

    Hostin asked Harris whether she felt like that question — and her answer — had tipped the election.

    “Because Sunny doesn’t want to take the blame,” Joy Behar quipped.

    “I absolve you,” Harris said to Hostin

    Federal Judge Rejects FBI Agent’s Lawsuit Against Trump

    A federal judge has once again shut down former FBI agent Peter Strzok’s attempt to portray his firing as unconstitutional, ruling that his dismissal during the Trump administration did not violate the First or Fifth Amendments.

    Strzok, who played a central role in the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into alleged ties between Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia, was terminated in 2018 after it came to light that he had exchanged blatantly anti-Trump text messages with a colleague. These texts, uncovered by the Justice Department’s inspector general, raised serious concerns about bias within the FBI at the very moment the bureau was investigating a presidential candidate.

    Judge’s Ruling

    Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee serving on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, explained in her order that Strzok’s claims do not stand up to the facts.

    On the First Amendment issue, the court noted that Strzok’s “interest in expressing his opinions about political candidates on his FBI phone at that time was outweighed by the FBI’s interest in avoiding the appearance of bias in its ongoing investigations of those very people, and in protecting against the disruption of its law enforcement operations under then-Director Wray’s leadership.”

    As for Strzok’s due process claim, the judge wrote that it was based on “a misrepresentation of the facts and distortion of the chronology,” emphasizing that Strzok was given notice and an opportunity to be heard before his dismissal.

    The court also clarified that there was never a binding contract guaranteeing Strzok a property interest in his FBI position.

    Why Strzok Was Fired

    Strzok’s downfall stemmed from thousands of text messages he exchanged with FBI attorney Lisa Page, with whom he was having an affair. Many of those messages revealed a deep hostility toward Trump, including one infamous exchange in which Strzok pledged that “we’ll stop” Trump from becoming president.

    This revelation, combined with his leadership role in politically sensitive investigations—including not only the Russia probe but also the FBI’s look into Hillary Clinton’s private email server—shattered confidence in the bureau’s impartiality. Then-FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich overruled a recommendation of a lesser penalty and ordered Strzok’s firing to preserve the integrity of the FBI.

    Verdict Reached In Attempted Trump Assassination Trial

    Just in…

    A jury has reportedly reached a verdict in the trial of Ryan Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate then-candidate Trump on his golf course.

    Routh was found guilty on all charges. Routh attempted to stab himself in the neck with a pen after learning the verdict. Multiple court marshals were needed to de-escalate the situation and temporarily removed Routh from the courtroom.

    The case was heard by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who denied a motion from Routh’s defense team seeking her recusal. A Trump appointee, Cannon was randomly assigned to the case.

    Federal prosecutors alleged Routh camped near Trump’s golf course for 12 hours with a rifle and aimed at a Secret Service agent before being forced to drop the weapon. Investigators later discovered a letter in which Routh expressed regret that he failed to kill Trump, as well as evidence he sought anti-aircraft weapons and surveillance of Trump’s flights weeks before his arrest.

    Routh was found guilty of the attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple gun violations — crimes carrying potential life sentences.

    Routh faces up to life in prison. Routh pleaded not guilty to all charges.

    DeSantis Unveils Plan To Dedicate Land For Trump Presidential Library

    On Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) unveiled a plan to dedicate land in South Florida to President Trump’s future presidential library. 

    In a press release, the governor announced he will propose a plan to dedicate a 2.63-acre parcel in Miami-Dade County for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library at the meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund on Sept. 30. 

    “President Trump has achieved results for the American people and made a lasting impact on our nation’s history,” DeSantis said in a statement. “No state has better delivered the President’s agenda than the Free State of Florida, and we would be honored to house his presidential library here in his home state.”

    The land is currently used as a parking lot for Miami-Dade College.

    In a post on X on Tuesday, state Attorney General James Uthmeier (R) said he could “think of no better location” to tell Trump’s story. 

    “It is the greatest political comeback story in American history,” Uthmeier said. “Florida will be blessed to house the library for one of our own state presidents and to be apart of such meaningful history.” 

    Florida has become the center of the Republican universe, with Trump changing his voter registration from New York to Florida in 2019. The president and his allies often convene at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.
