As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor. The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy -- a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force. Join Rachel Maddow for Episode One, launching June 10, 2024, and follow now. You can also subscribe to MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts for early access to every episode the Friday before it drops, and ad-free listening to all episodes in Ultra seasons one and two.

To understand the partisanship and bitterness of American politics today, you have to consider what happened in 1994. Steve Kornacki, National Political Correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC, steps back from the Big Board to tell the origin story of the 1994 Republican “revolution,” the midterm election when the GOP took the House majority for the first time in four decades. It was set in motion by Georgia Congressman Newt Gingrich, who — over the course of 15 years — pushed Republicans in a direction of confrontation and conservatism. Steve talks with Newt’s allies and adversaries about backroom strategy sessions and dramatic battles on the House floor. As yet another midterm threatens to upend the political landscape, Kornacki hears echoes of 1994 everywhere. Follow now and join Steve Kornacki through all six episodes, out October 31st.

Each morning, Mike Emanuel, Dave Anthony, Lisa Brady, Jessica Rosenthal, and Chris Foster take a deep dive into the major and controversial stories of the day, tapping into the massive reporting resources of FOX News to provide a full picture of the news. Plus, every night, The FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition brings you even more coverage of the day's biggest stories and on the weekend, you’ll hear everything that’s going on in the beltway with The FOX News Rundown: From Washington and special uncut, unedited interviews with The FOX News Rundown: Extra.

Check us out twice a day, every day.
He's raw, unfiltered, unedited, authentic, vulnerable and sometimes annoying. His laugh is infectious, and he often engages in long periods of awkward silence. He will tell it like it is, and whether you’re on the left or the right he’s bound to make you uncomfortable at some point. But he will definitely make you think. A licensed, practicing trial attorney for the last 25 years, he brings his legal experience and knowledge to the news of the day and current events here at home to offer different perspectives and additional things to consider.
Anyone old enough to remember November 2016 knows that crushing polls don’t accurately predict a landslide election. They don’t predict Russian hacking, fake Facebook news feeds, James Comey’s surprise news conference, Access Hollywood, nor WikiLeaks leaks. Nor do they accurately reflect the deep resentment, a sense of rejection and bitterness many seemingly disenfranchised voters feel as they enter their ballot with a vicarious middle finger to the establishment. Two White House Correspondents , Doug Christian and Christopher Bua, will nudge you through this tumultuous period as Washington insiders. We’ll ask the tough questions, look for some answers, and have some fun along the way.

Do you feel as if common sense is dead in politics? Luckily for you, Robby Starbuck is living proof it hasn't died yet. After directing Oscar winning actors in Hollywood, Starbuck effectively ended his career by coming out with his Republican beliefs in 2016. Robby later ran for Congress in 2022 with endorsements from Senator Rand Paul, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, Rep. Thomas Massie and more. Despite leading in the polls he was suddenly thrown off the ballot with no explanation. Even Donald Trump Jr. voiced his anger at the State party removing Robby from the ballot. Despite challenging it at the Supreme Court level of Tennessee, it was ruled that the state Republican party could throw anyone off the ballot if their leadership, simply, didn't want them. Regardless, these setbacks have not stopped him from continuing to speak out in defense of freedom and keeping the reality of the American Dream alive. As the son of a Cuban refugee from communism, nothing matters more to him than saving our country for his kids and yours. On The Robby Starbuck Show, Robby will be doing deep dives on key issues and figures in politics as well as share commentary on world events. Whether you are a Republican, Liberal or just politically curious and are interested in hearing a no-nonsense take on current events, this podcast is for you!

What exactly is Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, and why is a 1996 law so important today? Why have Presidents Biden and Trump both said they want to repeal it?
