Tonight we examine the growing fallout from ICE raids and federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota, and what it signals about the direction of the country. As unrest spreads, Donald Trump is now threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, raising urgent questions about federal power, civil liberties, and the possible use of the military inside the United States. Joining us are immigration attorney David Leopold and former U.S. Border Patrol Chief Chris Clem to break down what is actually happening, whether enforcement has gone too far, what the law allows, and what Trump’s end game may be.Subscribe to the YouTube!

In this wide-ranging and candid interview on The Moynihan Report, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio joins Michael Moynihan for a deep dive into the personal history that shaped his worldview, the complexities of American foreign policy, and the future of progressive politics in NYC.The conversation begins with a moving reflection on de Blasio’s father, a World War II veteran who lost his leg at the Battle of Okinawa. De Blasio opens up about how his father’s subsequent struggle with PTSD and alcoholism deeply influenced his own understanding of war, mental health, and the importance of family.The discussion then pivots to a heated but respectful debate on US imperialism and interventionism. Moynihan and de Blasio spar over historical US involvement in Latin America, specifically the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, whom De Blasio defended as seeking a third way between US capitalism and Soviet communism, and the morality of overthrowing sovereign leaders. They also tackle the episode's "ripped from the headlines" topic: the recent US extraction of Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela. De Blasio argues that even surgical removals of foreign leaders set a dangerous precedent that could embolden rivals like China and Russia.Finally, de Blasio reflects on his two terms as Mayor, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the emotional toll of the job, which he managed with a philosophy he calls "don't look down." He offers a ringing endorsement of rising progressive star Zohran Mamdani, debating Moynihan on the feasibility of Mamdani's boldest proposals, including free buses, rent freezes, and public grocery stores.Subscribe to the YouTube!

Maduro is in a Brooklyn jail cell, but Venezuela is far from free.In this episode of The Moynihan Report, Moynihan returns to the mic to unpack the historic arrest of Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. While the Trump administration is taking a victory lap, the reality on the ground in Caracas suggests the celebration is premature and potentially dangerous. We are joined by exiled Venezuelan journalist Germania Rodriguez Polio (formerly of Vox and the Daily Mail) to discuss why the removal of one dictator might have simply cleared the path for a more ruthless, efficient operative: Delcy Rodriguez.While the New York Times and other mainstream outlets are busy branding Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as a shrewd operator with leftist credentials who is softening her tone, Germania reveals the terrifying truth. Delcy isn't a reformer; she is a SEBIN (secret police) operative and the architect of the draconian "Law Against Hate." We analyze why Western media consistently falls for the reformer narrative in socialist regimes and why Delcy’s rise could mean a darker chapter for Venezuelan human rights.Germania shares her shocking personal story of being escorted out of the Daily Mail after refusing to delete a video criticizing the New York Times’ coverage of the Venezuelan regime. We dig into the concept of Venezuela’s "fake opposition," figures who play the part of democrats while maintaining the status quo, and how major media organizations silence dissenting voices to maintain access or appear objective.Why are some American conservatives defending a socialist dictatorship? Moynihan reacts to a bizarre clip of Tucker Carlson defending the Maduro regime, exposing the growing fracture in the American Right. We discuss the absurdity of the "Horseshoe Theory," where the far-left and far-right unite in their hatred of the West, leading figures like Tucker to confuse a brutal, impoverished police state with a traditionalist society.Finally, we ask the hard question: Will Trump save or sell out Venezuela? With the administration already eyeing Venezuela’s oil reserves, there is a real fear that the US will accept a "stabilized" dictatorship under Delcy Rodriguez in exchange for energy deals. We discuss what needs to happen next, including the release of over 900 political prisoners, to ensure this intervention doesn't end in betrayal.Subscribe to the YouTube! Hosted on Acast.

Hitler: A Global Biography is available here.Brendan Simms is Director of the Centre for Geopolitics at University of Cambridge and a prolific author on European geopolitics, past and present, and his principal interests are the German Question, Britain and Europe, Hitler’s global anti-semitism, Humanitarian Intervention and state construction.Subscribe to the YouTube!

Devon Archer explains what it was like to be caught between Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump, and how power, access, and consequences actually played out behind the scenes.In this extended interview, Archer speaks firsthand about his relationship with Hunter Biden, the reach of Joe Biden’s influence, and how the Trump era changed the legal and political stakes. He reflects on business dealings, loyalty, fallout, and what happens when proximity to power turns into liability.This conversation is not about accusations or defenses.

Michael interviews Adam Irving, grandson of David Irving and head of Irving Books, the publisher managing his grandfather’s catalog. The conversation looks at David Irving’s trajectory from bestselling World War II historian to a figure discredited for Holocaust denial and racist distortion.

Today's episode features journalist and author Jamie Kirchick, who dissects the rise of the populist, far-right movement on both sides of the Atlantic and the accompanying decay of mainstream conservative politics. The discussion focuses on the rapid ascent of parties like Germany's AfD, noting that their success is driven by failure to integrate immigrants and the subsequent Danish model adopted by mainstream parties to curb their influence. Domestically, Moynihan and Kirchick characterize figures like Tucker Carlson as "the most dangerous antisemite in America right now" and a fusion of "every awful ideology," exploring his influence over politicians like JD Vance and the MAGA wing's adoption of pro-Russian, anti-capitalist, and isolationist foreign policy that demands a revisionist view of World War II. Finally, the episode touches on historical revisionism, previewing an interview with the grandson of Holocaust denier David Irving, and questions the utility of debunking misinformation in the current, high-speed digital environment.Subscribe to the YouTube!

Michael Moynihan sits down with Robby Soave to discuss Trump’s liberal use of pardons. Technically, Trump has the power to dole out pardons as he pleases (and he has), but is this verging on dictatorship? Using Trump’s extraordinary move to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, Michael and Robby will delve into how Trump wields pardons as a tool for personal and political “justice.”Subscribe to the YouTube!Subscribe to the YouTube!

This episode is a wide-ranging, candid chat where Michael Moynihan and guest columnist Eli Lake dive deep into the messy overlap of culture and politics today.They start with a fun intellectual detour, dissecting the punk rock ethos and suggesting that the anti-authoritarian, norm-defying spirit actually makes Socrates the original punk. This cultural lens is quickly applied to modern politics, where they discuss how the rise of figures like Nick Fuentes and his followers is basically a political version of punk rock. They argue that this shock-jock, transgressive style is a direct reaction to the illiberal social pressures of recent years (think: Black Squares and trigger-happy social media bans).The conversation then hits the controversial shift of Tucker Carlson, pointing out his "horseshoe" alignment with figures from the radical left, like Noam Chomsky. They suggest Tucker's appeal comes from his genuine rejection of his old Washington world.Finally, the talk gets serious about the Constitution, as Moynihan and Lake criticize the Trump administration's foreign policy; specifically the unauthorized use of the military in Venezuela against drug boats. Lake argues this overreach, done without Congressional approval, is a dangerous move that could undermine the foundations of the Republic by setting a precedent for presidents to start wars without a proper legal or democratic say.Subscribe to the YouTube!Subscribe to the YouTube!

Tom Freston's story is a compelling journey of media creation fueled by unconventional experiences and a zeal for the non-mainstream. His memoir, Unplugged Adventures: From MTV to Timbuktu, chronicles his life, from an eight-year stint in India and Afghanistan on the hippie trail where he was a businessman running a successful clothing empire (a venture eventually destroyed by Carter administration tariffs), to his pivotal role in creating global media powerhouses. MTV, his defining legacy, was born in 1980 out of a desire to create a specialized "narrow caster" for music fans, reflecting a passionate, low-budget, no-experience culture similar to Vice Media's early days. The channel became a culture leader for over two decades, achieving success despite initial resistance from cable operators and record companies, famously using the "I Want My MTV" campaign featuring stars like David Bowie and Mick Jagger. This innovative spirit continued as MTV pioneered the reality TV boom with The Real World and when Freston's team launched Comedy Central out of competitive brashness against HBO, nurturing future comedy icons. Freston's career at the top of Viacom ended abruptly when Sumner Redstone fired him, famously for not buying MySpace, a moment that underscored the disruptive force of the digital revolution. Later, Freston got involved with Vice Media, drawn to its edgy, chaotic, and fun sky's the limit culture, only to witness its struggle with growth, overspending, and a missed opportunity to be acquired by Disney. Through it all, Freston believes his success stemmed from his confidence, ability to attract talent, and a commitment to having creative people in charge of his networks.Subscribe to the YouTube!Subscribe to the YouTube!

Signal President Meredith Whittaker joins The Moynihan Report for a deep dive into the AI industry, exposing how artificial intelligence is often just a marketing term designed to degrade jobs rather than replace them. An ex-Googler, Whittaker breaks down the dangerous concentration of power within Big Tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, revealing how their surveillance business model creates an unholy alliance with the government. The conversation covers the chilling reality of digital privacy, the failure of "private" apps like WhatsApp, the threat of targeted spyware, and the inside story of the Crypto Wars, all while touching on figures like Sam Altman and the fight for true encryption.Subscribe to the YouTube!Subscribe to the YouTube!

In this episode, Michael Moynihan chats with Nathan Livingstone, the Aussie filmmaker who found himself in the crosshairs of the "most Googled man," Andrew Tate. Nathan details his journey from a forklift driver fired over COVID mandates to a leading chronicler exposing Tate's "unique evil"; a mission that's now landed him in a major defamation lawsuit he calls "lawfare," where the "process is the punishment." But the conversation doesn't stop at Tate. Nathan and Michael dive deep into the "conspiracy rabbit hole" defining the new Right, tackling Tucker Carlson's "softball" interviews with Tate and Nick Fuentes, the "schizophrenic" theories of Candace Owens regarding the Charlie Kirk assassination, and the alarming rise of Nick Fuentes and his "groypers." It's a fascinating look at the battle for "team reality" and the high price of exposing the internet's most controversial figures.Subscribe on YouTube!Subscribe to the YouTube! Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Michael Moynihan kicks things off by dissecting Bill Crystal's bizarre "inner social Democrat" tweet celebrating Eugene Debs, contrasting it with Debs' actual call to "abolish the capitalist system." This segues into busting the popular myth that socialists just "want Sweden"; as someone who lived there, Moynihan reveals Sweden is actually a "very capitalist country," plagued by a disastrous rent control system with 10 to 20-year waitlists. Then, journalist Josh Szeps joins to reveal his "grand unifying theory": Dick Cheney is the "most influential person... in our lifetime" and the true architect of today's political polarization, arguing his "eat or be eaten" worldview and norm-breaking (like the Scooter Libby affair) set the stage for the Trump era. The conversation also explores the nature of faith and atheism, comparing the profound, post-tragedy wisdom of Nick Cave to the "flippant dismissiveness" of new atheists like Richard Dawkins.Subscribe to the YouTube!Subscribe to the YouTube!

On this episode of The Moynihan Report, host Michael Moynihan dives right into the 2025 Election Day action, covering the NYC mayoral race with Zohran Mamdani and the big governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey. He also gets into the political reactions surrounding Dick Cheney's death, calling out a pretty disrespectful tweet from NYC Councilman Chi Ossé. Then, he shares the story of his recent appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher alongside Marjorie Taylor Greene, giving his take on her whole "Rothschild's Space Lasers" comment and her surprisingly friendly welcome on The View. The episode also tackles the "civil war" splits happening in both parties, from drama on the right to Gavin Newsom's changing tune on "woke" issues. To wrap it all up, Democratic strategist Don Calloway joins the show, giving his on-the-ground read of the Virginia race (predicting a Spanberger win) and discussing how economic populism is showing up in unexpected places, from Mamdani to Republicans like Josh Hawley.Subscribe to the YouTube!Subscribe to the YouTube!

This kicks off a wider discussion on the mainstreaming of antisemitism and bizarre political scandals, including a Democratic Senate candidate in Maine with an SS tattoo and the "insane" media defenses from figures like Krystal Ball. They also cover the failed Trump appointee who admitted to a "Nazi streak," the "crazier than I thought" conspiracies of Candace Owens, and the significant national failures in Canada, from the "fake residential school graves" hoax to the "diploma mill" immigration crisis that has overwhelmed the country's infrastructure.Subscribe to the YouTube!Subscribe to the YouTube!

In this episode of The Moynihan Report, host Michael Moynihan sits down with Thomas Chatterton Williams, author of The Summer of Our Discontent, to analyze the period from 2020 to the present. They discuss how the "crazy" cultural "excesses" and "exaggerated claims of oppression" stemming from 2020 created an inevitable and "harsh" backlash that helped Donald Trump return to power. Williams shares his personal evolution on racial identity, explaining how living in France and having a white-passing daughter led him to reject the "American skin game" and advocate for "abolishing" race as a "fiction" , a stance that put him in direct conflict with Ibram X. Kendi. Williams, a co-writer of the 2020 Harper's Letter , also gives an insider's perspective on the letter's simple premise defending open debate and the intense, misguided backlash from signatories like Jennifer Finney Boylan. Finally, Williams defends his recent controversial article comparing the political weaponization of George Floyd as a "secular saint" by the left and Charlie Kirk as a "martyr" by the right to enforce ideological consensus , concluding that while the current moment is dangerous, he remains an optimist.Subscribe to the YouTube!Subscribe to the YouTube!

In this episode of the Moynihan Report, host Michael Moynihan and media critic Steve Krakauer analyze the rapidly changing media landscape, beginning with Donald Trump's "enormous achievement" regarding a hostage release and the media's unified pushback against new restrictive Pentagon guidelines for journalists. The conversation's core focuses on a lengthy critique of John Oliver's on-air attack against Barry Weiss for taking over CBS News, which they frame as a symptom of legacy media's fear of ideological diversity and professional jealousy. This serves as a jumping-off point to discuss the broader decline of what they call "crusty old legacy dinosaur" institutions, arguing that their gatekeepers are "no longer powerful". They contrast the fading relevance of late-night television with the rise of independent podcasters and creators, exploring whether these new media figures are more authentic or simply victims of "audience capture". Ultimately, they conclude that the old broadcast model is "done" and the future belongs to smaller, decentralized networks built around individual personalities with a direct connection to their audience.Subscribe on YouTube!(00:00:00) Introduction(00:03:55) The Pentagon's War on Media(00:08:34) John Oliver's Attack on Barry Weiss(00:14:40) Is Legacy Media (CBS) Dead?(00:25:04) Oliver Slams Peterson & Shapiro(00:33:20) What Happened to Don Lemon?(00:41:23) Is Tucker Carlson Audience Capture?(00:49:51) The Fall of Media Gatekeepers(00:59:39) Will Substack & Podcasts Take Over?(1:04:38) Final ThoughtsSubscribe to the YouTube!
