Federalist Radio Hour: ‘Overruled’ Ep. 5: How Leftist Universities Train Lawyers To Be Anti-Constitutional Activists
Join Federalist Executive Editor Joy Pullmann for a special audio series that investigates the dramatically increasing strategic use of government to sideline elections in achieving a political outcome. From Arctic Frost to the political prosecution of Donald Trump and his supporters, these instances of lawfare reflect a constitutional crisis that must be addressed in order to save our Republic. In this episode, Joy breaks down how Marxist ideology has infiltrated the legal education system that trains our lawyers and judges, leading to extreme leftist legal bias, the normalization of DEI appointees, and a system in which big law firms overwhelmingly support anti-constitutional causes and political lawfare. You can read Joy's book False Flag: Why Queer Politics Mean the End of America here.

3 Whisky Happy Hour: Election Hangover & Free Speech: It’s Only One Whisky This Week
Welp, it's only a One Whisky Happy Hour this week, as Steve had to go solo. (John is overseas, and Lucretia is indisposed this weekend.) Actually, you could say this is a One-and-a-Half Whisky Happy Hour—Steve has an extended "cameo" with special guest Carson Holloway of the University of Nebraska, author of a terrific new book, No Liberty to Libel: The Constitutional Case Against NY Times v. Sullivan. Steve opens with a few observations about the election rout, which don't sum up to "things will get worse before they get worse." While no one should sugarcoat the magnitude of this election defeat, he points out that we've actually seen worse before, and rebounded nonetheless—sometimes sooner than people recall. So be of good cheer, and enjoy at least one-and-a-half shots on us. Then Steve and Carson walk up through the Sullivan case that shields the media from libel actions by public figures, with a made-up extra-constitutional doctrine, and explain why it is ripe for overturning. Along the way, you'll get a quick primer on how the Founders understood libel and the First Amendment, and some of the background in the common law. It's a splendidly written and highly accessible book for the non-specialist. Since it's only Steve and Carson, this episode is shorter than usual, but presented ad-free.

3 Martini Lunch: Midterm Aftermath, Tucker Goes Nuclear, Dems & the Death Tax | Last Call
Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, they discuss how the Democrats' huge midterm election victories will shape the next Congress and - yes - the 2028 presidential campaign, Tucker Carlson suggesting the U.S. and Israel will soon nuke Iran, the left building momentum for making the Death Tax much worse, and a dead dog getting his voting rights restored in Virginia. First, Jim and Greg look ahead to what the next two years will look like with President Trump in the White House facing big Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. They also briefly consider how this impacts the start of the 2028 cycle. Next, they roll their eyes as Trump loyalist-turned-hater Tucker Carlson says the U.S. and Israel may be just days away from using nuclear weapons against Iran. Jim explains why there's almost no chance Tucker is right. Then, they react to the United Airlines CEO and college economic professor looking to make the Death Tax much more painful. The CEO also wants to institute a wealth tax. Jim and Greg have a simple suggestion for him. Finally, they groan as Virginia officials restore the voting rights of a dog that died five years ago. But the story gets even more insane. New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.

The Glenn Show: TGS Live: Anthony Scaramucci on Trump and Money in Elections [Free Version]
Glenn sits down with Anthony Scaramucci, whose new book, All the Wrong Moves: How Three Catastrophic Decisions Led to the Rise of Trump, argues that elite missteps on trade, labor, finance, and monetary policy, rather than racism and ignorance, let Trump exploit real economic anxieties. Anthony says too much wealth and power at the top has narrowed opportunity for everyone else, and he backs a constitutional amendment to curb election spending, even though he supports Citizens United. Anthony also talks about his working-class upbringing on Long Island and his brief time in the Trump administration.

The Ricochet Podcast: Cleanup Time
Toss out the cyanide white pill and don't touch that dial! Bad night on Tuesday, but we ain't done for yet. In fact, we've got work to do—and the job starts with assessing what the bleep just happened. To that end, Steve and James chat with Sean Trende, head of the Poll Vault and senior elections analyst for RealClearPolitics. We leave the blame game to others, and instead think through how it got that way (and it wasn't our fault) (and we'll never do it again!). Sound from this week's open: Snippets from a disastrous midterm: Trump discusses the untransferable love voters have for him; Jake Tapper and Savannah Guthrie announce Democratic wins; Chuck Schumer sets the bar for the 120th Congress.

The Erick Erickson Show: S15 EP201: Hour 2 - Erick’s King for a Day Plan to Fix Congress
On Open Line Friday, Erick shuts down the third-party dream and lays out a king-for-a-day plan to fix Congress: grow the House of Representatives to 1,000 members, pay them $300,000, and lift donation caps so money flows to disclosed candidates instead of dark money groups. He also tells a Georgia caller how to take over the Republican Party from the precinct up, makes the case that governor-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms is not a monster, salutes departing Governor Brian Kemp, and reacts to Pete Hegseth impeachment talk and the breaking news that Susie Wiles is leaving and Stephen Miller becomes White House chief of staff.

The Erick Erickson Show: S15 EP201: Hour 3 - Why the Church Should Stop Chasing Politics, and Stephen Miller Takes Over for Susie Wiles
On Open Line Friday, Erick argues that America's political crisis is really a spiritual crisis, telling pastors to stop trading the gospel for a seat at the table, to quit pushing the lesser of two evils, and to hold the Republican Party to account as readily as the Democrats, with Josh Howerton, James Talarico, and the Christian nationalism fight inside the PCA and Southern Baptist Convention in the mix. Then he reacts to the breaking news that Stephen Miller replaces Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff after the midterm drubbing, and asks who actually gets held accountable for the botched Iran war. He also plugs Hungry for a Day Thanksgiving meals and shares a family update on his son's acceptance to Samford University. The church and politics: why Erick says the political crisis is a spiritual crisis, how churches that align with a party alienate half of a 50/50 nation, and why pastors should stick to the gospel, deep theology, and serving their own communities Lesser of two evils and Christian nationalism: Erick's response to Josh Howerton's viral defense of voting for the lesser of two evils, Charles Spurgeon, James Talarico and Adam Hamilton on the left, and the push to force non-political pastors out of the PCA and Southern Baptist Convention Pastors and the 2026 primaries: why Erick says silence on candidate character, the treatment of illegal aliens, and the Ken Paxton race left Republicans stuck defending flawed nominees, plus the Amaziah and Amos comparison Breaking White House shakeup: Donald Trump names Stephen Miller chief of staff starting Monday November 9 as Susie Wiles moves to the Trump political operation, Republican reaction on Capitol Hill, Pete Hegseth rumors, JD Vance, and who is accountable for the Iran war and the missile shortage Hungry for a Day Thanksgiving meals for $40 (text donate to 33777), plus Erick's son getting into Samford University and a Birmingham college visit

Daily Signal: Kevin Roberts: Conservatives Got 2 Big Things Wrong
What went wrong for Republicans in the midterms, and what needs to change before 2028? Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action President Kevin Roberts joins the Daily Signal's final episode of "Midterm Report" to break down the election results and identify what he sees as two major problems for conservatives: economic and affordability concerns, and a failure to effectively communicate their accomplishments. Roberts explains why he believes the results are not a repudiation of conservatism or America First, what Washington can do to tackle the cost of living, and why conservatives should already be organizing for 2028. He also previews Heritage’s agenda for the years ahead, including addressing affordability, and countering socialism, China, and Islamification. Next week Roberts will convene hundreds of conservative leaders at The Forum. Learn more: https://www.theforum26.org/2026/ FAQ Why does Kevin Roberts think Republicans struggled in the midterms? Roberts points to economic and affordability concerns, the consequences of the Iran war, and what he describes as poor messaging by conservatives. Does Roberts believe the election was a rejection of conservatism? No. He argues that similar midterm defeats have hit presidents of both parties and says the results should not be interpreted as a repudiation of conservatism or America First. What does Roberts say conservatives should focus on now? He highlights affordability, federal spending and deregulation while also emphasizing Heritage’s priorities involving socialism, China, and Islamification. How can conservatives get involved before 2028? Roberts recommends starting locally by attending school board or city council meetings, becoming involved in political organizing, or joining Heritage Action’s Sentinel program. What is Heritage planning after the midterms? Roberts says Heritage is convening conservative leaders to assess the movement’s direction, unite around major policy priorities, and begin preparing immediately for the next political battles.
