Narativ Live with Zev Shalev: Recent Episodes

narativ

A fresh, incisive take on today‘s news from former CBS News executive producer Zev Shalev.

What began as a day marked by Russian interference - from FBI warnings about Russian-originated bomb threats at polling stations to debunked deep-fake videos - ended with an electoral outcome that seemed to follow a Russian-crafted narrative.

Our show began confidently at 9:30 PM ET, with Dean Blundell and Spencer “Spenny” Rice joining me to witness what we expected to be a historic victory for Kamala Harris. The mood was light, even celebratory. "Dancing in the streets by 11:30," we predicted.

But as the night progressed, the numbers shifted dramatically. One by one, the critical swing states fell: Michigan (+90,820 for Trump), Wisconsin (a razor-thin +29,797), Pennsylvania (+153,204), and Georgia (+117,384).

By the time foreign policy expert Rick Petrie joined our panel, what had started as a celebration had transformed into growing concern about the integrity of what we were witnessing.

By morning, what seemed impossible at 9:30 PM had become reality - Donald Trump had secured victory in nearly every battleground state, with margins that defied both polling and campaign internal numbers.

This week, Elon Musk confirmed his support for implementing $2 trillion in federal budget cuts, which he describes as necessary "shock therapy" for the U.S. economy. Musk laid out his vision at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally, stating, "Your money is being wasted. We'll get the government off your back and out of your pocketbook".

When asked directly about the economic impact of these cuts, Musk responded, "Sounds about right," to the prediction of severe market disruption and economic contraction. The proposed $2 trillion reduction represents nearly one-third of the current $6.13 trillion federal budget.

Trump has indicated that he would appoint Musk to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to implement these cuts. The Wall Street Journal reported that throughout this period, Musk maintained regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his first deputy, Sergei Kerienko, since late 2022.

The economic model for these cuts appears to mirror the "shock therapy" policies implemented in Argentina under Javier Milei, which has led to:

Inflation at 230%
Unemployment rising from 12% to 18%
Poverty increasing from 42% to 53%

Musk has become Trump's most prominent financial backer through his America PAC, contributing $118 million of his own money. This level of financial support, combined with his proposed role overseeing budget cuts, would give him unprecedented influence over both fiscal policy and public discourse through his ownership of X/Twitter.

The proposed cuts would require significant reductions to core government services, including Medicare and Social Security, and eliminating multiple federal agencies. While critics argue this would cause severe economic disruption, Musk maintains these measures are necessary for long-term prosperity.

Dean Blundell joins Zev Shalev for the third installment of Narativ Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a list of members of Parliament who are either actively engaged with or at high risk of foreign interference, putting Parliament Hill in crisis. The bombshell disclosure came at Canada's Foreign Interference Inquiry, during which Trudeau expressed frustration at Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre's continued refusal to receive top-secret security briefings about the threat.

I have the names of a number of parliamentarians, former parliamentarians, and/or candidates in the Conservative Party of Canada, who are engaged or at high risk of, or for whom there is clear intelligence around foreign interference,"

PM Justin Trudeau under oath.

The Prime Minister emphasized that his government has directed CSIS to inform the Conservative Party leader about these security risks, but Poilievre's refusal to receive classified briefings means "nobody in his party, nobody in a position of power knows the names of these individuals and can take appropriate action."

Indian Government's Deep Infiltration ExposedThe revelations come amid mounting evidence of Indian government interference in Canadian politics. The RCMP has uncovered evidence linking Indian government agents to a campaign of violence, including homicides, coercion, and extortion on Canadian soil.

In a dramatic development, Trudeau confirmed he confronted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about these allegations during what he described as a "very uncomfortable" conversation at the G20 summit. The Prime Minister disclosed that Indian diplomats and consular officials in Canada had allegedly leveraged their positions to engage in clandestine intelligence-gathering activities.

Conservative Party Operative Under InvestigationAdding to the growing scandal, recent reports indicate that Arpan Khanna, who served as Pierre Poilievre's Ontario co-chair during his successful leadership campaign, is under investigation by CSIS for potentially receiving support from the Indian government.

Khanna's nomination in the Oxford riding has come under particular scrutiny. Two senior riding officials resigned in protest, claiming the party leadership "hijacked" the process to favor Khanna.

About Dean BlundellDean Blundell, a legendary figure in Canadian broadcasting who hosted the boundary-pushing morning show on Toronto's 102.1 The Edge (2001-2014) and later Fan 590, has transformed from self-described "shock jock" to one of Canada's most important investigative voices through his Dean Blundell Show podcast and Crier Media empire. Under the Crier Media banner, which operates dozens of podcasts and works with a collective of reporters, journalists, and lawyers while maintaining complete independence by refusing government funding, Blundell has emerged as a leading investigator of foreign interference in Canadian politics, breaking significant stories about threats to democracy that mainstream media outlets often hesitate to cover, including early reporting on Pierre Poilievre's refusal to obtain national security clearance and exposing connections between Canadian conservative movements and international actors.

Our latest analysis projects Kamala Harris as the probable winner of the 2024 election, with a likely path to 292 electoral votes. Election expert Carl Allen's independent forecast supports this projection, rating Harris as the more likely winner. His models even show a possible more decisive outcome, in which Democrats could sweep all swing states.

Probable Path to Victory:

The most likely scenario shows Harris securing traditional blue-wall states (Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania) while adding North Carolina, creating multiple viable paths to victory even if she loses one blue-wall state. This probable path puts Harris at 292 electoral votes compared to Trums’s forecast, showing potential for an even stronger Democratic performance.

Michigan

Michigan appears the most volatile of the blue wall states, with both campaigns wrestling over significant voter shifts. Despite Republicans registering more new voters than expected and potential losses of 50,000-150,000 traditionally Democratic voters over Gaza, Allen's polling average still shows Harris maintaining a likely lead at 48.5% to Trump's 48%. The GOP's strategic pivot to early voting could prove decisive. While they celebrate narrower Democratic early voting margins, Allen warns they may be "cannibalizing" their crucial Election Day turnout

Wisconsin. In Allen's analysis, Wisconsin emerges as the most vulnerable blue-wall state, with a lower concentration of urban Democratic voters than Pennsylvania and Michigan. While Harris currently leads in Wisconsin, Allen rates it as the most likely blue-wall state to flip red—a scenario that would cost Democrats 10 electoral votes but likely wouldn't be fatal to Harris's chances if she secures other swing states.

North Carolina

North Carolina has become the Democrats' probable safety net, consistently showing Harris at 49% to Trump's 47% across multiple polls. The state's shifting media landscape and the toxic effect of Republican gubernatorial candidate Robinson's scandals have created likely Democratic strength. Trump's hasty addition of an unplanned North Carolina rally signals Republican anxiety about a state that could provide Harris with probable electoral insurance if any blue wall state falters.

Likely GOP Vulnerability

Republicans' strategic shift to early voting will probably backfire by reducing their traditional Election Day advantage. With 19 million votes already cast and Democrats building strong early voting margins, the GOP faces a changed electoral landscape that likely complicates their path to victory. Despite prediction markets favoring Trump, Allen sees no data supporting him as even a probable favorite, suggesting market manipulation may be at play.

The secretive Catholic organization Opus Dei has emerged as a powerful force in American conservative politics, wielding outsized influence on key issues like abortion, the Supreme Court, and threats to democracy. In a revealing interview, investigative journalist Gareth Gore, author of the new book "Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church," exposes Opus Dei's hidden networks and agenda.

Key revelations:

Opus Dei operates as a shadowy intelligence network within the Catholic Church, gathering information on members and strategically placing allies in positions of power.
The group has deep ties to conservative politics in the U.S., with close connections to figures like Leonard Leo, Bill Barr, JD Vance and others shaping the Supreme Court and Republican policy.
Opus Dei recruits aggressively, often targeting minors as young as 12-13 years old using cult-like tactics.
A Spanish bank hijacked by Opus Dei funneled billions of dollars into the organization's global expansion, including major initiatives in Washington D.C.
The group is currently facing human trafficking charges in Argentina for exploiting young women as unpaid domestic servants.

Gore argues Opus Dei represents a serious threat to democracy, pushing an authoritarian agenda cloaked in religious language. As America approaches a pivotal election, understanding Opus Dei's influence and tactics is crucial for voters concerned about the future of democratic institutions.

This eye-opening conversation sheds light on one of the most secretive and influential organizations operating in American politics today. Gore's meticulously researched book "Opus" is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the hidden forces shaping our political landscape.

The parallels between 2024 and 2016 are striking and impossible to ignore:

Trump as the Candidate: Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, and that entails unprecedented support from Russia.
Female Democratic Nominee: Like Hillary Clinton in 2016, Kamala Harris faces unique challenges as a woman running for the highest office.
Tight Polls in Battleground States: We're seeing razor-thin margins in key states, reminiscent of the nail-biting finish in 2016.
Disinformation Campaigns: As I noted in yesterday's show, we're facing an "onslaught of disinformation" that eerily mirrors the 2016 landscape.

Green Shoots in the DataI asked Carl Allen, author of "The Polls Weren't Wrong," how he viewed the two elections on last night’s show. Allen says his 2024 forecast is not as close as other analysts’, putting Kamala Harris in a far more advantageous polling position than Hillary Clinton was in 2016.

Here are some of the "green shoots" that Carl sees in the data.

Closer to 50%: Allen points out that Harris is polling closer to the crucial 50% mark in critical states, which he argues is more important than lead size.
Fewer Undecideds: Unlike 2016, there are fewer undecided voters this time around, potentially reducing last-minute swings.
Fewer Third-Party Candidates: The 2024 race has fewer prominent third-party candidates, simplifying the electoral math.

Allen emphasizes that Harris's chances are better than a toss-up, albeit just barely. He puts her probability of winning at about 66%, adding, "A 34 or one in three chance that Trump wins doesn't let me sleep well at night."

He also calls 2016 an outlier election that shouldn’t be viewed as very predictive. While this offers some cautious optimism, it reminds me that everything about this election, like 2016, is abnormal.

2024’s Wild Cards Trump's strategy in 2024, like 2016 “is asymmetrical. Instead of running an on-message campaign, he's running an absolute onslaught of disinformation."

His alliance with X’s Elon Musk is an unprecedented national security crisis connecting the GOP nominee to a known Russian disinformation agent who has the most prominent news app in the world at his disposal to spread disinformation.

There are legitimate concerns about foreign actors like Bibi Netanyahu, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin attempting to sway the election by inventing or heightening international crises.

The Specter of Violence: The implicit threat of violence if Trump doesn’t win echoes the 2020 election.

Biden Sounds The Alarm The gravity of the disinformation threat was underscored today by President Biden himself. In response to false claims about hurricane relief efforts, Biden condemned what he called "a reckless, irresponsible, relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies."

Biden explicitly named Trump, stating he "has led the onslaught of lies." echoing the "onslaught of disinformation" referred to in yesterday's show.

Carl Allen’s book “The Polls Weren’t Wrong” brings an exciting new perspective to our understanding of polls and helps us be more precise about forecasting results, especially during unprecedented unpredictability.

In this eye-opening episode, Zev Shalev exposes how Donald Trump's campaign is unleashing a familiar torrent of disinformation, eerily reminiscent of 2016. Shalev meticulously dissects the current state of the 2024 U.S. presidential race, revealing how Trump's strategy of flooding social media with falsehoods is once again tightening the polls in crucial swing states.

At the core of Shalev's analysis is Trump's unconventional campaign approach, which prioritizes a relentless stream of disinformation over traditional political messaging. The recent Butler, Pennsylvania rally serves as a stark example, with Shalev highlighting how Twitter, under Elon Musk's ownership, has become the primary conduit for this information deluge.

Shalev doesn't just outline the problem; he offers a roadmap for countering it. He scrutinizes the Harris campaign's response to Trump's tactics, drawing parallels to the Clinton campaign's struggles in 2016. His breakdown of Trump's "3% theory" provides crucial insight into why this flood of disinformation could be devastatingly effective, even if the majority recognizes it as false.

As the clock ticks down to election day, Shalev poses a critical question: Are we prepared to stem this tide of disinformation, or are we heading for another shocking upset? His urgent recommendations for combating this onslaught in the final weeks of the campaign are both practical and necessary.

"We're witnessing a repeat of 2016's disinformation playbook, but on steroids," Shalev warns. "Every tweet, every rally, every online interaction is part of this strategy. We have mere weeks to change the narrative." Tune in to hear Shalev's full analysis and his thoughts on whether we can avoid falling into the same traps that caught us off guard eight years ago.

Don't miss our upcoming episode where we'll dive deeper into the mechanics of this disinformation campaign and explore cutting-edge strategies to counter it. In the age of AI and evolving social media landscapes, Zev Shalev's insights are more crucial than ever.

In the latest episode of Narativ, host Zev Shalev and guest Dean Blundell deliver a chilling wake-up call to Canadians about the dire state of their democracy. The conversation paints a disturbing picture of a nation teetering on the edge of autocracy, with foreign interference and media corruption threatening to unravel the very fabric of Canadian society.

Blundell doesn't mince words as he exposes the rot at the core of Canada's media landscape. He reveals how outlets like Rebel News operate as little more than paid advocacy groups, pushing propaganda that aligns with Russian interests and far-right ideologies. The recent Supreme Court ruling confirming Rebel News produces less than 1% of actual news content is just the tip of the iceberg.

But the threat goes beyond biased media. The episode uncovers the alarming influence of foreign actors, particularly Russia, in Canadian politics. From co-opting influential individuals to running sophisticated disinformation campaigns, these efforts aim to polarize public opinion and undermine trust in democratic institutions. Even more shocking is the revelation that Canadian taxpayer money has been used to fund Russian propaganda films.

The urgency of the situation becomes clear as Shalev and Blundell discuss the upcoming election. They warn that Canadians face a stark choice between character and corruption, with the very soul of the nation hanging in the balance. The potential for a Pierre Poilievre-led government, coupled with the possibility of a Trump presidency in the US, paints a grim picture for North American democracy.

Time is running out for Canadians to wake up to these threats. This episode of Narativ serves as a crucial call to action, urging citizens to engage critically with the information they consume and to fight for the preservation of their democratic values. The future of Canada hangs in the balance, and every voice matters in this battle against creeping authoritarianism.

In this critical episode, geopolitical expert Rick Petree helps us unpack the escalating Middle East crisis and its potential to spark a wider conflict.

Key points:

Israel's ground offensive into Lebanon marks a significant escalation, with tanks crossing the border and airstrikes hitting Beirut's suburbs.

The humanitarian toll is staggering: nearly a million Lebanese displaced and rising casualties. Syrian refugees are even returning to their war-torn homeland, deeming it safer than Lebanon.

Israel's recent intelligence coup - assassinating Hassan Nasrallah and eliminating Hezbollah's top brass - has reshaped the battlefield but risks severe retaliation.

Netanyahu's domestic support surges, but at what cost to democracy?

Iran issues threats but hesitates to engage directly. Reports of Ayatollah Khamenei's relocation underscore the regime's vulnerability.

Shifting regional alliances: Saudi Arabia and Jordan's evolving stances hint at a new geopolitical landscape.

The Palestinian question is being reimagined, with new visions for Gaza's future emerging.

Petree's key insight: "Events move fast in this part of the world," and "Israel has really scored a coup here."

As the Middle East teeters on the brink, stay tuned for our ongoing coverage of this rapidly evolving crisis.

Narativ has obtained exclusive details of President Volodymyr Zelensky's "Victory Plan" for Ukraine—a bold strategy to defeat Russia within months. This plan, targeting the war's end before 2025, could reshape Eastern Europe's geopolitical landscape.

To unpack the plan's implications, we spoke with Ambassador Kurt Volker, former U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations and current Distinguished Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA). With over 35 years of foreign policy experience, Volker offers unique insights into this critical development.

In our exclusive interview, Volker broke down the plan's four-pronged strategy: military, diplomatic, political, and economic. He explained how this comprehensive approach could force a Russian retreat by making defeat seem inevitable to Putin's regime.

Notably, Volker discussed the plan's more controversial aspects, including potential long-range strikes inside Russia. This move would significantly shift the conflict's nature and could impact international support for Ukraine's war effort.

According to Volker, the timing is crucial. With winter approaching and the U.S. presidential election on the horizon, Ukraine sees a narrow window to decisively change the war's course.

This Narativ exclusive offers more than breaking news—it provides insight into potentially history-making decisions unfolding in real-time.

In a groundbreaking exposé, Narativ's special Canada edition, hosted by Zev Shalev with guest Dean Blundell, unveiled disturbing parallels between the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and emerging threats to Canadian democracy.

Poilievre: The Face of Maple MAGAPierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party, has emerged as the standard-bearer for what some are calling "Maple MAGA" - a Canadian iteration of the populist movement seen in the United States. With his party leading in the polls, Poilievre stands on the brink of potentially becoming Canada's next Prime Minister.

This prospect raises alarming questions about the future of Canadian democracy. As Zev Shalev noted, "Poilievre's rise mirrors the playbook we've seen in other democracies that have slid towards authoritarianism. The parallels with figures like Viktor Orbán in Hungary are hard to ignore."

The CBC: Autocrat TargetWhile the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is in a very precarious position if an authoritarian-leaning government takes power. "History shows us that public broadcasters often become prime targets for leaders seeking to control the narrative," Dean Blundell emphasized. "If Poilievre wins, the CBC could face a fate similar to public media in Hungary or Poland."

Security Clearance ControversyAdding to concerns, Poilievre has refused to submit to a top-secret security clearance check - an unprecedented move for a potential prime minister. This stance becomes even more critical as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party has lost its crucial partnership with the New Democratic Party (NDP), putting the current government in a precarious position.

Recent polls showing Poilievre's Conservatives with a significant lead amplify worries about a potential leadership change without proper security vetting.

Russia’s Billion Dollar Digital Racketeering MarketCompounding these internal challenges, a recent U.S. Department of Justice indictment has unveiled a massive $10 million Russian disinformation operation targeting both Canada and the United States. This operation, involving Canadian actors, highlights significant vulnerabilities in Canada's defenses against foreign influence.

The indictment implicates Tenet Media, a conservative outlet founded by Canadian influencer Lauren Chen, as a potential front for pro-Kremlin propaganda. This revelation underscores the sophisticated nature of foreign interference in Canadian politics.

Democracy at a CrossroadsThe convergence of these events – Poilievre's rise as the face of Maple MAGA, his refusal of security clearance, political instability, and foreign disinformation campaigns – paints a troubling picture of Canadian democracy at a critical juncture.

"What we're seeing in Canada eerily echoes the early stages of democratic erosion we witnessed south of the border," Shalev warned. "The potential threats to institutions like the CBC may not be overt yet, but the groundwork is being laid."

The Narativ Canada special edition serves as a wake-up call, urging Canadians to remain vigilant about the potential for both domestic and foreign interference in their political processes. As this story unfolds, Narativ promises to stay at the forefront, providing in-depth analysis and uncovering the hidden connections that could reshape Canadian democracy.

The future of Canada's democratic institutions may well depend on how its citizens respond to these emerging challenges, particularly as they approach a potentially transformative election.

In a bombshell revelation, Narativ has obtained leaked documents from Russian intelligence services that directly implicate Elon Musk and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene in amplifying Kremlin-created propaganda. The confidential files, originating from Russia's 'Social Design Agency' (SDA), provide unprecedented insight into Moscow's ongoing efforts to manipulate U.S. public opinion and policy.

According to the documents, the SDA operates under the direct supervision of Vladimir Putin's inner circle. Its primary mission is to create and disseminate content designed to influence U.S. policy on Ukraine and sow discord among the American public.

First evidence that Elon Musk uses X to push Kremlin propaganda to his Millions of followers.Meeting minutes reveal that Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), shared a meme created by Russian operatives featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The document states:

"The meme with the image of Volodymyr Zelensky, created by 'ASD', was shared by X and its owner - billionaire Elon Musk - on the social network."

This meme, designed to weaken America's support for Ukraine, reached an estimated 95 million users.

Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed a wholly fabricated narrative about Ukrainian child human trafficking.

The leaks also show that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene amplified a wholly fabricated story about Ukrainian child trafficking. One report notes the operation's success: "The new team made a fake theft of children. Americans seriously published. Success!"

A video presentation obtained by Narativ features Ilya Gambashidze, head of the SDA, explaining the agency's methods. Wearing a hoodie emblazoned with "Russian ideological troops" and "commander of special forces" patches, Gambashidze outlines their three-pronged approach: monitoring, analytics, and creative content production.

These revelations come amid growing concern about Russian influence in U.S. media and politics. Last week, documents surfaced linking Russia Today to Russian intelligence services and identifying 600 U.S.-based paid influencers as Russian agents.

Hillary Clinton calls for civil or criminal actions against Americans involved in Russian propaganda. Narativ's host, Zev Shalev, emphasized the urgency of addressing this threat to American democracy. Guest expert Olga Lautman, host of the Kremlin Files podcast, called for stricter measures against those spreading Russian propaganda, echoing recent comments by Hillary Clinton suggesting potential civil or criminal charges for Americans engaged in such activities.

As this story develops, it becomes increasingly clear that Russia's web of influence extends far beyond what many Americans realize. The implications for U.S. democracy and national security are profound and demand immediate attention from policymakers and the public alike.

Narativ will continue to investigate this story. Check back for updates.

The leaks from the SDA were first obtained by the German outlets Sueddeutsche Zeitung, NDR, and WDR.

West Palm Beach, FL - What was initially reported as a potential assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his Florida golf club has now raised more questions than answers, according to a Narativ investigation.

On September 15, 2024, chaos erupted at Trump International Golf Club when a man allegedly opened fire near the course where the former president was playing. Trump was unharmed in the incident.

The suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested after a high-speed chase. Routh, a North Carolina native who relocated to Hawaii in 2018, has a complex background that includes a 2002 felony conviction for possessing a weapon of mass destruction.

However, discrepancies in the official narrative have emerged. Court documents place Routh at the golf course at 1:00 AM, hours before Trump's reportedly last-minute decision to play golf. This timing has raised questions about how Routh knew to be there.

The weapon allegedly used, an SKS-style rifle with an obliterated serial number, is not commonly sold in Florida, adding another layer of mystery to the incident.

Months before the event, social media posts warned about Routh's alleged misrepresentation of ties to international military organizations. One user, claiming to be a former International Legion member, stated Routh was "misrepresenting himself and lying to many people" about connections to Ukrainian forces.

The incident occurs against the backdrop of a tight presidential race. Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris with a narrow 0.2 percentage point lead in battleground states, while former President Trump leads in states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona. Pennsylvania, with its crucial 19 electoral votes, is currently tied.

Local law enforcement and federal agencies are continuing their investigation into the incident. The Department of Justice has notably avoided using the term "assassination attempt" in its statements, referring instead to "firearms charges related to an incident."

As the investigation unfolds, many questions remain unanswered. How did Routh obtain the weapon? What were his true intentions? And why was he at the golf course hours before Trump arrived?

Narativ will continue to follow this developing story as more information becomes available.

Narativ Live discusses the US Department of Justice's recent indictments against a Russian influence network targeting the 2024 US elections. Notable right-wing influencers Tim Pool and Benny Johnson are implicated in a $10 million operation orchestrated by RT (formerly Russia Today) employees. The DOJ also addresses the Doppelganger campaign, which involved creating fake news websites to spread Russian propaganda. Concurrently, there has been significant global news, including the banning of Elon Musk's social network X in Brazil and the arrest of Telegram's CEO in France. Additionally, breaking news reports highlight a horrendous terrorist attack at a concert hall in Russia claimed by ISIS. The episode delves into the ramifications of these developments and how they shape global narratives.

Vice President Kamala Harris has unveiled an economic plan that can only be described as revolutionary. In a bold move to revitalize America's middle class, Harris has put forward a comprehensive strategy addressing some of the most pressing economic challenges of our. time. While experts like James Nelson applaud the plan's ambition, they see an opportunity for even bolder action.

At the heart of Harris's plan is a multi-pronged approach to tackling the issues that have been squeezing the middle class for decades. The Vice President's strategy is nothing short of a paradigm shift in how we approach economic policy in the 21st century.

One of the most groundbreaking aspects of Harris's plan is her commitment to confront algorithmic price gouging head-on. Recognizing technology's role in modern economic challenges, Harris proposes empowering the FTC to investigate and curb predatory practices in various sectors, including housing and groceries. This acknowledgment of algorithmic price-fixing represents a significant leap forward in addressing one of the root causes of affordability issues.

The plan doesn't stop there. Harris proposes substantial down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers and pledges to dramatically increase the housing supply with three million new units in four years. Families stand to benefit from expanded child tax credits, including a $6,000 credit for newborns. Healthcare costs are also in her crosshairs, with caps on insulin prices and out-of-pocket prescription expenses.

What makes Harris's approach truly revolutionary is its comprehensive nature. Rather than offering piecemeal solutions, her plan represents a holistic reimagining of the economy with the middle class at its center. It's clear that the status quo is no longer acceptable and that bold, sweeping changes are necessary to create an economy that works for all Americans.

While the plan has been met with widespread acclaim, experts like James Nelson see it as a launching pad for even more transformative action. Nelson, a leading authority on housing market dynamics, commends Harris's recognition of algorithmic price fixing but argues that the rapidly evolving nature of technology in this space calls for even more robust measures.

Nelson advocates for sweeping legislation to regulate the entire algorithmic revenue management space across all sectors of the economy. He envisions a new regulatory framework designed to govern these digital-age pricing mechanisms that can adapt to future technological developments and prevent the emergence of new algorithmic loopholes.

In Nelson's view, Harris's revolutionary plan could be pushed even further. He sees an opportunity to address today's challenges and create a flexible, forward-thinking legislative approach that can tackle tomorrow's problems before they arise.

As we stand on the brink of this potential middle-class revolution, the conversation sparked by Harris's plan challenges us to think big. It asks us to consider how we can solve today's problems and create an economic framework that's genuinely equipped for the challenges of the digital age and beyond.

Harris's plan represents a monumental first step in reimagining our economy. It's a bold, revolutionary approach that promises to reshape the economic landscape in favor of the middle class. And as experts like Nelson point out, it also opens the door to even more transformative changes.

As this vital discussion continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Kamala Harris has set the stage for a middle-class revolution. The question now is not whether we'll see change but just how far-reaching that change will be. Ironically, not going too far enough may be our setback.

Last night’s interview between former President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk on Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has attracted serious criticism. The two-hour conversation, which reportedly reached an audience of up to 84 million viewers, has been criticized for potentially spreading misinformation and unsubstantiated claims.

Key Points of Contention:* Immigration Claims: Trump's assertion that 20 million people have entered the country illegally was challenged as unsupported by available data. * Foreign Policy: Trump's claim that conflicts like Russia's invasion of Ukraine wouldn't have happened under his presidency was questioned, with critics suggesting that his approach might have had negative consequences for global democracy. * Education: Trump proposed closing the Department of Education and moving control back to individual states, a suggestion that was met with skepticism about its potential effectiveness. * October 7th Attack: Trump made a controversial claim suggesting Russian involvement in the October 7th attack on Israel, which has not been corroborated by official sources. * Economic Issues: Trump's statements about inflation being at its worst in 100 years were disputed, with current data showing inflation rates have decreased to more manageable levels.

In a late-night Narativ, Zev Shalev argued that the interview format allowed for the unchallenged spread of potentially false or misleading information. Concerns were also raised about the appropriateness of a major social media platform providing what some view as free campaign publicity.

The broadcast has reignited discussions about social media's role in political discourse and platforms' responsibility in moderating content during election seasons.

As the 2024 presidential campaign continues to unfold, this interview serves as a reminder of the complex interplay between media, technology, and politics in the modern era.

In this special edition of Narativ Live, we examine the pool of potential vice presidential candidates for President Kamala Harris. As the Democratic convention in Chicago approaches, the stakes couldn't be higher.

Tune in to hear our full breakdown, including which dark horse candidates could shake up the race, and why foreign policy experience might play a crucial role in Harris's decision. Don't miss this crucial discussion as we count down to one of the most significant decisions of the 2024 campaign!

Zev Shalev reports on a historic day President Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election in 2024, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. Biden, 81, made the announcement via a heartfelt letter to Americans, highlighting the administration's achievements including economic advancements, healthcare improvements, and climate legislation. The decision, finalized amid discussions with close aides, marks a significant shift as Biden expressed gratitude for Harris's partnership. Former President Obama praised Biden but did not endorse Harris, sparking speculation. In response, GOP leaders called for Biden's resignation, questioning his fitness to serve. The political landscape shifts dramatically as preparations for the Democratic convention in August continue.

Efforts to oust President Joe Biden from the upcoming election continue as prominent congressional leaders, funders, and lobbyists pressure Biden to drop out. Zev highlights the orchestrated, non-voter-based nature of these efforts by the professional campaign class within the Democratic Party and exposes Biden's resistance, the impact on his campaign funding, internal polling challenges, and the broader implications for American democracy. It underscores the importance of respecting the democratic process and voter choice, while expressing concerns over the political and media maneuvers that may undermine Biden's presidency and, by extension, democracy itself. Additionally, Zev explores potential consequences of Trump’s candidacy and the geopolitical ramifications.

This week Zev explores the carefully constructed narrative portraying Donald Trump as a modern-day martyr and messianic figure. It outlines Trump's association with influential billionaires and how his policies favor the wealthy elite rather than average Americans. He criticizes Trump's choice of J.D. Vance as his vice-presidential candidate, highlighting Vance's lack of qualifications and extremist views, as well as the financial backing from Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Additionally, it scrutinizes the recent assassination attempt on Trump, questioning the official narrative and highlighting numerous lapses in security. The monologue also touches on the importance of Joe Biden in the upcoming election and the disinformation surrounding his capabilities. Ultimately, Zev underscores the threat posed by Trump and his allies to American democracy.

In a shocking new analysis, journalist and media producer Zev Shalev alleges that Joe Biden may have been deliberately sabotaged during last week's CNN presidential debate against Donald Trump.

Key Issues1. Unusual debate format and pacing that seemed designed to disorient Biden 2. Suspicious lighting differences between Biden's and Trump's podiums 3. Possible audio manipulation of Biden's voice, stripping out mid-range frequencies 4. Questions about Biden's mysterious "cold" and whether he was given something to impair his performance

Shalev argues these factors combined to make Biden appear older, frailer and less coherent than he is. He calls for an independent investigation into CNN's production choices and whether foul play was involved.

"Before Democrats rush to replace Biden at the top of the ticket, we need answers about what happened that night," Shalev states. He urges viewers to be skeptical of the "Biden is too old" narrative, which he links to ongoing Russian disinformation campaigns.

Is Bibi Playing Politics With Hostages?At the heart of this struggle are Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. President Joe Biden, and a cast of global power players, including former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. As I discussed in my post yesterday, the relationship between Netanyahu and Biden is a critical factor, with the upcoming U.S. elections adding another layer of complexity.

The global war on democracy is being waged on multiple fronts, from the newly announced long-term U.S.-Ukraine security agreement to the presence of Trump loyalists in Congress and Netanyahu's possible manipulative strategies. One big question remains: Is Netanyahu leveraging the hostages for political gain, perhaps to influence the U.S. elections in favor of anti-democratic forces?

Zelensky’s $50B Windfall From Putin’s Frozen Assets.China's stance on the Russia-Ukraine war is another key battleground in this struggle, with the implications of executive agreements versus binding treaties coming into sharp focus.

In this exclusive analysis, I unpack these intricately intertwined threads, offering insights into how this pivotal hostage situation may shape the global war on democracy and the impending U.S. elections. Stay tuned for more in-depth coverage as this multi-front battle continues to unfold.

Donald Trump's former advisor, Steve Bannon has been ordered to report to prison by July 1 to serve a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.

Bannon was convicted for failing to comply with a subpoena from the January 6 committee. As I noted during the show, Bannon briefed his associates in China just days before January 6 about Trump's plans to declare victory despite losing at the polls.Bannon also faces separate charges related to the “We Build the Wall" campaign in New York.In other news, The Department of Justice is investigating potential illegal price fixing by corporate landlords. This particularly involves the use of RealPage software to coordinate higher rental prices, a practice that is reportedly prevalent in key 2024 swing states like Arizona, Florida, and Georgia. Rising rents, a major driver of inflation and cost-of-living concerns, directly affect many voters.

The episode featured a powerful speech by President Biden, commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy. Biden's speech was a poignant reminder of the immense bravery and sacrifice of the Allied troops who turned the tide of World War 2. He underscored the importance of alliances and issued a warning that democracy is under threat today from autocrats and dictators. Biden also made a significant pledge of continued U.S. and NATO support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invasion.

This show underscores the high stakes and critical threats to democracy as the 2024 election approaches. From exposing the January 6 insurrection to combating authoritarian aggression abroad, defending freedom requires constant vigilance. As Biden eloquently stated in Normandy, it is now our generation's duty to meet this moment and preserve democracy for the future.

“Today, we witness the culmination of years of anticipation and legal scrutiny. Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records and was convicted in a state court—a day many thought we'd never see.” The VerdictDonald Trump has been found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. This verdict underscores the gravity of his actions, despite his defense team's efforts to challenge the credibility of key witnesses like Michael Cohen. The jury's unanimous decision is a resounding affirmation of the strength and integrity of the prosecution's case.

“It means that the prosecution did an incredible job, which we all thought while looking from the outside in.”

This sentiment was echoed throughout the proceedings, as Trump's defense seemed unprepared to counter the overwhelming evidence against him.

The former President of the United States is now a convicted felon.Many of us suspected the conviction was imminent, and today it is a reality. Trump’s defense team will undoubtedly appeal every aspect of this case, yet the facts remain clear: the former President of the United States is now a convicted felon.

The charges are significant, not just in their number but in what they represent—the culmination of an orchestrated effort to subvert democracy. This isn’t just a federal case; it's about the integrity of our electoral process.

The Impact on DemocracyThere was a time when right-wing media outlets such as Fox News could downplay Trump's actions. However, this guilty verdict strips away any pretext that these were partisan attacks. This is more than just about falsifying business records—this is about protecting the sanctity of the American democratic process.

“This is really what we've been saying on my show recently, that subverting democracy is what we're seeing here. The 2016 election was manipulated through illegal means, including Trump's payment of $130,000 in hush money to Stormy Daniels—a fact the jury found crucial in their decision.”

Michael Cohen's VindicationTrump's former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, can finally feel vindicated. Cohen's reputation has been dragged through the mud, yet this verdict provides some measure of redemption. His testimony was instrumental in making the case against his former boss, proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump orchestrated this conspiracy to manipulate the 2016 election.

The 2016 Election and Its ConsequencesThe repercussions of Trump's illegal activities were felt globally. His presidency resulted in numerous tragedies, including the mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, frayed international alliances, and a Supreme Court packed with justices whose legitimacy is now in question.

The conviction brings to light the insidious manner in which Trump stole the 2016 election. By paying $130,000 in hush money, Trump ensured that voters did not learn of his affair with Stormy Daniels, thus swaying the election in his favor. These actions weren't just felonies but a subversion of our democracy.

Right-Wing Media and DisinformationThe conviction also deals a blow to the disinformation machine perpetuated by right-wing media. Outlets that have shielded Trump and his illicit activities now face an uphill battle in maintaining the narrative that he is innocent.

The media has a crucial role to play now. They must acknowledge their part in spreading disinformation and start reporting the facts objectively. This case is about more than just business record falsification; it’s about a coordinated effort to hide crucial information from the American people.

Parallels between MBS-Bezos hack and Donald Trump's Hush Money Trial. In this episode of Narativ With Zev Shalev, we delve into the intriguing and controversial events surrounding the 2018 publication by American Media Inc. (AMI) that featured Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) and its aftermath.

Our discussion begins with MBS's portrayal as an ally of the U.S. against terrorism despite Saudi Arabia's alleged involvement in 9/11. The show details the peculiar events that followed Jeff Bezos’s dinner with MBS, including hacking Bezos's phone via Pegasus malware. This hack led to the National Enquirer, also owned by AMI, exposing Bezos’s affair using the data obtained from Bezos's phone.

We’ll link these events to a broader narrative of autocratic manipulation, drawing parallels to similar tactics used by Donald Trump and David Pecker to influence the 2016 election by silencing stories about Trump's scandals, including the Stormy Daniels affair. The core theme is the 'subversion of democracy,' highlighting how personal information was weaponized to influence political outcomes and manipulate public perception.

The trial of Donald Trump is framed not just as a matter of hush money or personal misconduct but as a critical instance of democracy being undermined for personal and political gain.

41:01 Conclusion and Call to Action

The latest court developments in the Trump hush money case have been nothing short of explosive. Cohen’s testimony placed Trump at the center of a scheme to win the 2016 election corruptly.

According to Cohen, Trump was fully briefed on the $130,000 payment to Daniels and was in the room when the plan was hatched to conceal the transactions through false invoices to the Trump Organization. Cohen also revealed that Trump's main concern was delaying the story until after the election, allegedly saying, "Just get past the election, because if I win, it will have no relevance, and if I lose, I don't even care."

If true, this testimony provides the clearest evidence yet that Trump was an active participant in the hush money scheme and the subsequent cover-up. Cohen's account suggests it was all about protecting Trump's electoral chances.

In this week's episode, I shine a light on another troubling aspect of the Trump-David Pecker pact at the center of the trial. I note that the pact existed a year and a half before the August 2016 meeting that led to the Hush Money trial, when a catch-and-kill agreement was made between Trump and National Enquirer publisher David Pecker.

Indeed it seems likely a pact already existed in January 2015 and may have resulted in a disinformation campaign targeting Bill Clinton with untrue stories published in The Enquirer about Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein.

Before Trump launched his 2016 White House bid there’s evidence to suggest Pecker and Trump were coordinating efforts to smear Bill Clinton, Given Pecker's practice of sharing stories with Trump in advance, and his subsequent efforts to "catch and kill" Trump's sex scandals, this raises alarming questions about the level of coordination between Trump and the tabloid.

This week's developments paint a picture of a candidate and a campaign willing to do anything to win—even if it meant breaking the law and deceiving the American people. The hush money scheme, the hints at Clinton dirt, the catch-and-kill operation—it all points to a sophisticated operation designed to manipulate and deceive Americans

A felony conviction for Donald Trump would be unprecedented in American history, and the jury has had unenviable tasks before them. However, regardless of the outcome, the trial exposed a political network whose entire operational basis is lying, concealing, and cheating. And that is a reality the entire nation must now confront.

In this sense, the Trump Hush Money trial is not just about campaign finance violations or salacious scandals. It’s about completely rejecting an ideology of moral decline in which the only solution to any national problem is even more corruption. This is an untenable outcome for a nation built on so much hope and promise.

In the latest episode of the Narativ podcast, host Zev Shalev takes a deep dive into former President Donald Trump's ongoing hush money trial. As the trial enters its third week, explosive testimony from critical witnesses Stormy Daniels and Hope Hicks could prove pivotal in determining not only the outcome of the case, but the future of American democracy itself.

Shalev begins by highlighting the importance of this trial, noting that a guilty verdict might be the only thing standing between Trump and a return to the White House in 2024. He argues that despite the salacious details, the core issue is the integrity of the American electoral process.

The episode features revealing excerpts from Daniels' testimony, recreated with AI-generated voices, painting a vivid picture of her alleged affair with Trump. Shalev notes the wealth of specific details in her account, making it difficult to dismiss as fabrication.

Turning to Hope Hicks' testimony, Shalev suggests that her statements may not be as favorable to the prosecution as initially perceived. He points out how Hicks seems to cast doubt on Michael Cohen's reliability while also advancing the questionable "Melania defense" - the idea that Trump was motivated by concern for his wife rather than political self-interest.

Shalev also examines the mounting documentary evidence, including handwritten notes, bank records, and signed checks, corroborating a scheme to conceal the hush money payments. He plays fascinating audio clips of Cohen himself fretting over the unraveling plot.

Shalev previews the defense team's anticipated cross-examination of Daniels and Cohen, who will likely paint them as opportunistic and untrustworthy. The host also ponders the potential political fallout, gaming out the ramifications of a guilty verdict or a deadlocked jury.

In conclusion, Shalev steps back to reflect on what's ultimately at stake - the endurance of American democracy in the face of rising authoritarianism worldwide. Describing his firsthand experience of life under apartheid, he warns listeners of the chilling effect of a police state on creativity and the human spirit.

Shalev encourages his audience to support his work at Narativ with characteristic passion and sincerity at this critical juncture. Arguing that an informed citizenry is the lifeblood of any democracy, he appeals for the resources to continue delivering groundbreaking independent journalism.

Please stay tuned for more updates as this historic trial unfolds, and visit narrative.substack.com to help Narrative pursue its vital mission. The future of the America

In a chilling exposé, political strategist Rachel Bitecofer and journalist Zev Shalev discuss the harrowing future that may await America if Donald Trump is re-elected in 2024. Drawing from Trump's own words in a recent Time Magazine article, they paint a dystopian picture of a nation on the brink of autocracy.

According to Trump's plans, upon taking office, he intends to:

Purge the government of liberals and replace them with conservative loyalists
Round up and jail journalists critical of his administration
Deploy the National Guard or even the military to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants
Weaponize the Department of Justice to prosecute political opponents
Drastically expand presidential powers under a "unitary executive theory"
Undermine Congressional authority over budgets and legislation

Bitecofer warns that despite Trump's seemingly mild demeanor in his current legal battles, Americans should not be lulled into complacency. She argues that civic illiteracy and a lack of awareness among voters pose the greatest threats to democracy.

To combat this, Bitecofer suggests Democrats adopt a laser-focused messaging strategy, emphasizing the existential threat Republicans pose to personal freedoms. She urges citizens to spread the word about Trump's autocratic intentions, as most Americans remain unaware of the full scope of his plans.

The consequences of a Trump victory, Bitecofer cautions, would be catastrophic not just for America, but for the entire world. With less than 190 days until the election, she issues an urgent call to action: It's time to get real about the danger we face and fight to preserve our democracy before it's too late.

This episode of Narativ delves into the unfolding criminal case against Donald Trump, highlighting detailed allegations of his long-standing relationship with David Pecker and the National Enquirer's involvement in silencing stories that could damage Trump’s image and career. It covers the mechanics behind 'catch and kill' tactics used to suppress potentially harmful stories, spanning a 40-year history of scandal manipulation. The episode also touches on the personal toll on individuals targeted by such media manipulations, with insights from Steve Schmidt about overcoming orchestrated public smears. Additionally, the episode critiques the media's role and journalism's ethics in the context of political manipulation. It ends with a commentary on the broader implications of Trump's legal and ethical entanglements for democracy.

I had a profound conversation with Steve Schmidt, the founder of “The Warning” and a seasoned veteran of numerous high-profile campaigns. We delve into the intricacies of Donald Trump's hush money trial and its potential impact on the 2024 presidential race.

Our wide-ranging conversation covers Steve's invaluable assessment of Trump's electoral chances, the pivotal role of the MAGA propaganda ecosystem, and the pressing challenges facing Joe Biden. Steve's analysis of who will win in November and the hush money trial is a must-listen. He also shares advice for Joe Biden on making a compelling case for his leadership.

I got to know Steve during the 2008 election, and I deeply respect his political acumen and unwavering, steadfast commitment to democratic principles. He also discusses standing up for our freedoms, drawing inspiration from Pope John Paul II's courageous calls to "be not afraid."

No matter your political persuasion, Steve's trenchant analysis is essential listening for anyone who cares about our country's future. I hope you'll check out the full interview. If you haven’t already done so, please subscribe to Steve’s substack, “The Warning.”

In today's episode, we dive deep into the unfolding political scenario of 2024 and dissect its potential consequences for the democracy of the United States. We examine how unfavorable election outcomes could endanger the democracy and transform the United States into a different reality. Despite having exposed the enemies of democracy for years, the outcome of the upcoming elections seems distressingly predictable.

Emerging poll results show Donald Trump leading in four swing states, presenting a potential electoral college lead over Joe Biden. Altogether, there is a growing sense of foreboding that is difficult to avoid. Still, the game isn't over, and the tides may yet turn as public attention increasingly focuses on the election in the coming summer.

We also explore the impending media circus centered around Trump and the trials he faces. Instead of focusing on pressing issues like the potential rise of religious zealots in the public sector, impending bans on abortions and birth control, or the increasing surveillance on LGBTQ communities, the public might become hypnotized by seemingly insignificant events. This hybrid of an election campaign and made-for-TV spectacle is a worrying development for democracy.

Furthermore, we delve into Trump's financial connections to China, claiming that his new social media platform, Truth Social, represents a multi-billion dollar deal with China. We caution listeners to stay alert to the efforts by media and influential figures to distract from the real issues at stake and urge them to discuss the importance of democracy actively.

Despite the distractions, we fervently encourage you to spread the word about democracy and its impending peril. Please share this podcast with your friends and family, particularly those residing in swing states, to alert them to the reality of the war against democracy. Ultimately, we must seize the narrative and keep the focus on the true issues at hand.

In this in-depth episode of the Narativ, we take a deep dive into how Vladimir Putin, Russia's dominating president, influences not just his own country but democracies across the globe. Starting with an analysis of Putin's recent, and questionable, win in the Russian presidential election, we light up the variations from democratic norms.

Using the resurgence of Paul Manafort in the United States Republic Party as an example, we discuss the frightening reality of potential foreign influence, thus revealing the unsettling truth about Russia's interference in global politics. We don't spare any details, from sinister (and planned) infiltrations to the unabashed spread of disinformation.

We also assess how Putin is trying, and succeeding, to destabilise democratic institutions worldwide and the harmful repercussions of his unchecked influence. As we traverse this uncertain path, we urge our listeners to stay vigilant and protect democracy.

Join us for this compelling discussion with special guest, Olga Lautmann, a senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis. Discover the entwined relationship between the American political environment and Russian intelligence networks. Understand how key figures have approached Russian intelligence for personal gains, and explore the alarming rise in divisive political discourse and disinformation campaigns.

Woven into this gripping narrative is a delightful partnership with Cookunity, bringing your favourite local restaurant flavours right to your home. Stay informed, stay equipped, and avail this unique opportunity to comprehend the complexities and realities of global politics.

In the concluding part of the episode, we mull over geopolitical issues and discuss possible global conflicts and wars. The discussion leads towards the urgent need for citizens to comprehend the gravity of the current scenario and use their voting rights to prevent a slide into authoritarian rule.

Gain a fresh, well-rounded perspective on the global political landscape through this educative and enlightening episode.

Exploring the GOP's deep-rooted ties to Russia, shedding light on the looming peril to America's democratic system. This episode unpacks the disturbing realities looming post the Super Tuesday. As the 2024 elections loom, a stark reality is painted: a battle between a Russian party and an American party, with Donald Trump as the potential GOP nominee, a figure marred in allegations of criminality and fraud.

Throughout this episode, we unravel how the GOP crisis may morph into a disaster by election time, further jeopardizing American democracy, with an alleged alliance forged with Russia and China aimed to dismantle the American system.

We spotlight the heart of this present crisis, revolving around House Speaker Mike Johnson's continual blocking of crucial military aid to war-torn Ukraine. We disclose astonishing findings from an investigation into Mike Johnson's ties to Putin, revealing a decades-long pattern of supporting Russia's key policies.

Furthermore, we delve into Mike Johnson's legislation, his alleged anti-LGBTQ advocacy, and his inexplicable alignment with Russian social policies. On a broader scale, we expose the evident Russian influence within the GOP. In this precarious scenario, the GOP's Speaker and President appear beholden to Russia, raising serious questions about national security.

With a critical investigation into political ties and troubling legislation, this episode paints a haunting picture of what the future might hold should these unchecked Russian influences play a role in the imminent 2024 elections.

In my latest podcast episode, I had former Congressman Denver Riggleman on to discuss the ongoing threats of Russian interference in the 2024 presidential election. Some key takeaways:

Alexander Smirnov, a Russian intelligence asset, was the main source behind false allegations about Hunter Biden taking bribes. This shows how Russian disinformation can infiltrate partisan investigations.
An FBI whistleblower has claimed confidential informants were used to spread disinformation about the Bidens to the Trump administration. This illustrates problems with the FBI's handling of foreign interference cases.
Speaker Mike Johnson has disturbing connections to Putin's inner circle. His refusal to provide military aid to Ukraine raises questions about whether he is acting in America's interests.
The Hunter Biden laptop story shows patterns of Russian interference across the 2016, 2020, and now 2024 elections that Republicans like Jim Jordan fail to acknowledge.
Polling shows Trump retains an extremely loyal base that is unlikely to fracture before 2024. Issues like abortion rights could potentially swing some Republican women to Biden.
A Trump re-election in 2024 raises concerns about retaliation, political violence, chaos, and damage to democracy. October surprises internationally could also impact the outcome.

I discuss all of these issues and more with Denver Riggleman, who brings expertise from serving on the January 6th Committee. With Russian threats increasing as we approach 2024, it's an important episode to understand the forces that still endanger American democracy. Please have a listen!

This episode of the Narativ podcast focuses on the breaking news that Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny has been murdered, presumably by Vladimir Putin. Navalny's widow, Yuliya Navalnaya, spoke at the Munich Security Conference shortly after his death, calling for Putin and his regime to face justice.

Key Topics Discussed:

Yuliya Navalnaya's emotional speech at the Munich Security Conference, saying Putin should be punished for Navalny's murder
Putin's obsession with interfering in US politics to get Trump elected again in 2024
How the timing of Navalny's murder was meant to send a message to NATO right before the Munich Conference
Putin lying about supporting Biden for president as more disinformation
Analysis of how GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson's actions align with Putin's interests regarding Ukraine aid
Discussion of how the enemies of democracy like Putin seem to be coordinating to weaken American power
A look ahead at how conflict hotspots like Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel could impact the 2024 election

Guest:Rick Petrie from the Council on Foreign Relations provides expert analysis on geopolitics and Vladimir Putin's motives.

Key Quotes:"It's further proof that this is a very hard dictatorial regime...They have taken the opportunity to murder someone who is probably the most effective opposition spokesperson and revealer of Putin's nepotism and corruption in a generation."

"Ukraine has been the bellwether for Trump and his fealty towards Putin...And he's still very desperate to deliver on that. And it's very dangerous for us as a country, for NATO as an alliance, and for Western democracy."

Conclusion:This sobering episode focused on Putin's tyranny domestically and in trying to influence world affairs. The murder of Navalny represents a significant escalation and assault on voices of dissent and democracy advocates in Russia. The discussion highlights why opposing Putin's aggression must be a top priority as America heads into the 2024 election.

Tristan Snell, former Assistant Attorney General for New York State, discusses various legal cases linked to ex-president Donald Trump, primarily concerning Trump's election interference and the possible impacts on the forthcoming election. Eagerly awaited cases may not be decided upon until after Election Day. Hence, the voters could be voting without knowing the truth about Trump. Snell shares his comprehensive analysis of how the justice system's delay strategies and cable news also play roles in this process. He also discusses civil trials optimism and the potential implications of Trump's possible conviction. Furthermore, Snell reflects on the lessons from his book 'Taking Down Trump,' which addresses how to prosecute Trump effectively based on his experiences in the Trump University case.

Over 300 pieces of anti-LGBTQ legislation have been introduced in state legislatures across the country so far this year, in what advocates are calling an unprecedented assault on transgender rights.

The majority of bills specifically target transgender individuals, ranging from healthcare restrictions to limits on school sports participation. The volume has skyrocketed compared to previous years, with 2023 on track to exceed 2022's record number of anti-trans bills.

“This is not regular politics — it’s a moral panic,” said journalist Erin Reed, who tracks anti-LGBTQ legislation extensively. “It’s gone beyond politicking and is now basically whatever [conservatives] can use to rally their base.”

Many bills have origins in model legislation pushed by national conservative groups. The Heritage Foundation's “Project 2025” blueprint lays out plans to rescind LGBTQ protections over the next three years, establishing what critics call a path toward authoritarian rule. Efforts span from empowering a right-wing federal workforce to utilizing agencies like the CDC for invasive data collection on sexuality.

The recent bills rely largely on unfounded claims that inclusive policies endanger cisgender students and undermine parental rights. Alabama, Arizona, and other states target healthcare coverage for transition-related care for minors even as major medical associations endorse affirming care.

Experts widely discredit arguments that acknowledging young transgender students’ identities or respecting pronouns can influence peers’ orientations. Similarly, sports participation bans counter research showing trans athletes have no consistent performance advantages in their gender category after beginning hormones, though schemes differ.

Reed warned that families are already being forced to “flee their homes or hide just to get healthcare” while awaiting legal challenges against healthcare restrictions. While some Senate Democrats have spoken against anti-LGBTQ measures, the White House response remains muted to date. With administrations empowered to interpret sex protections, legislative defeats may not spell the end as court battles loom ahead.

This episode revisits one of the most impactful exposés we’ve ever done on The Narativ – confirming Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s industrial-scale blackmail operation as assets of Israeli and Russian intelligence. The goal was the mass compromise of American politicians and public figures to control narratives and policies for Israel and Russia’s benefit. Analysis of Epstein’s flight logs underlines the central role of both countries, with 11 flights each recorded to Moscow/St. Petersburg and Tel Aviv.

We also examine key differences between Trump’s willing partnership with Epstein versus Clinton's seemingly being targeted for compromise. And explore how the Republican party increasingly resembles a Kremlin-controlled entity, likely due to the damaging information Russia holds on its members.

We must most urgently recognize that democracy remains under concerted attack by sophisticated global forces, just as in 2016-2020. As 2024 approaches, this episode is a stark reminder that we never fully emerged victorious from that information war, making the coming election all the more pivotal. America’s enemies are still circling for the kill shot against our democratic system. We ignore that stark reality at our own peril.

Exclusive: Two MPS charged with high treason in Ukraine; Hunter laptop was really data distributed by Giuliani and Bannon, and Mike Johnson's Russian benefactor is Putin's arms supplier.The impeachment proceedings against President Biden that are now ramping up in the House have an alarming origin story - a network of Russian spies.

Over the last several years, Russian intelligence agencies like the GRU have been working diligently behind the scenes to craft a narrative about supposed Biden family corruption in Ukraine. Their goal? To damage Biden's presidency and tilt the scales toward a Trump return to power in 2024.

Two Ukrainian members of parliament, Andrei Derkach and Oleksandr Dubinsky, were recently arrested on treason charges for running a multi-million dollar election interference campaign to spread allegations about the Bidens on Russia's behalf. Both men met with Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani in 2019 to push claims about Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.

Yet the GOP is still basing its impeachment push on the very same Russian-backed Hunter Biden narrative. They continue lying about "evidence" of Biden wrongdoing that does not actually exist. And it's working - polls find a majority of Americans now wrongly think Biden did something illegal.

But here's the kicker: The so-called "laptop" full of Hunter Biden's emails is likely just a sophisticated hack of his iCloud account. Both Giuliani and Steve Bannon disseminated hacked data that intelligence experts believe originated from Russian intelligence to discredit the Bidens.

In other words, impeachment is being fueled entirely by a years-long Russian spy plot. Yet Republicans continue perpetuating this propaganda operation because it serves their political interests, no matter the damage done to America's democracy.

The man now pushing impeachment in the House, new Speaker Mike Johnson, has suspicious ties to Russia himself. Johnson accepted campaign donations from Russian oligarch Konstantin Nikolayev, who supplies weapons for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and previously handled exposed Russian spy Maria Butina in the U.S.

Johnson took Russian money even while accusing Democrats of being soft on Russia. His former ally Liz Cheney labeled him "a collaborator" for his continued perpetuation of Trump's election lies after Jan. 6th. Now we know he's gotten in bed with Kremlin-connected Russians too.

By pursuing impeachment based on Russian disinformation, Johnson is serving Putin's interests - not America's. He is undermining our democracy and aiding election interference yet again. The presence of this kind of Russian "collaborator" at the very top ranks of U.S. power is a threat unlike we've ever seen.

From The Archive: This podcast episode originally aired May 3 2022, the same day as the leak of a controversial Supreme Court opinion that indicated Roe v. Wade would soon be overturned. Before Leonard Leo was a household name, he was on Narativ’s radar and he became the main focus of our coverage the day a Supreme Court opinion leak about Roe v. Wade would be overturned, eliminating federal abortion rights protections.

Eric Garland was my guest that day. We discussed the implications of this bombshell and delve into the decades-long effort by conservatives to reshape the judiciary and set the stage for such a reversal. Central to this strategy has been Leonard Leo, a religiously-motivated lawyer and operative embedded in powerful legal networks like the Federalist Society and the Council for National Policy.

Leonard Leo's InfluenceThough not a high-profile public figure, Leonard Leo has played an outsized role coordinating the conservative legal movement's long term plans. Guided by extreme Catholic notions of “natural law,” Leo leveraged his positions within the Federalist Society, the Council for National Policy, and other networks to place ideological allies in key positions. He is also an influential member of the secretive, ultra-conservative Catholic order the Knights of Malta, which bridges his advocacy with international power centers in the Vatican and beyond. Most notably, Leo facilitated over $30 million dollars in Koch brothers donations to reshape George Mason University's law school using his influence on their board. The ultimate goal was to groom Supreme Court justices sympathetic to rolling back liberal decisions on issues like abortion rights. Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett were all vetted and promoted by Leo before their controversial nominations and confirmations.

Response to Roe v. Wade LeakThe hosts react to realization of Leo’s goal to overturn Roe v. Wade with deep concern regarding legitimacy, given foreign meddling in recent appointments and new evidence indicating corporate capture of the judicial nomination process. More broadly, this episode encapsulates long building progressive fears that a hijacked Supreme Court could severely erode civil rights protections, privacy rights, and other pillars of equitable governance in America, jeopardizing stability and social cohesion. However, the hosts ultimately express hope that lawful accountability and democratic participation can restore rule of law and integrity to the Republic.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken quietly slipped into Israel on Thursday for meetings in Ramallah and Jerusalem to further a bold proposal that may result in a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine. Blinken believes the ongoing hostage releases and ceasefire talks provide a diplomatic opening for a long-lasting peace.

Blinken outlined his proposal in a speech Thursday night.

Israel must improve the lives of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza “in immediate, tangible ways.”
Israel must provide Palestinians with a credible path toward statehood.
The US will propose “practical steps” that can be taken to this end.
A “revitalized” Palestinian Authority will govern a united West Bank and Gaza.
The government in Ramallah must reform, end corruption, and promote a free press.

My guest on this week’s podcast is investment banker and Middle-East policy expert Rick Petree. His diplomatic roots, operational experience, and nuanced knowledge make him an ideal expert to assess Blinken’s gambit.

As Rick and I were speaking, the final 8 hostages to be released by Hamas under the 4-day ceasefire - were in transit back home to Israel after 55 days in captivity. 120 Israelis have been freed, 75 remain in captivity.

We discuss how the crisis presents an opportunity for peace and how both Palestinian and Israeli public opinion seem increasingly receptive to dialogue and compromise after decades of failed security doctrines.

Furthermore, the potential spoils of vast offshore gas reserves discovered between Israel and Gaza suggest possible shared prosperity if political cooperation can be achieved.

No naïve optimism is warranted. And yet Blinken’s maneuverings hint that behind the hostage tragedy, economic incentives, and weariness of violence, a cautious hope burns for progress between historic enemies. The ingredients for peace may be aligning if key leaders can seize the moment.

BREAKING: The House will hold a third vote this week to expel Congressman George Santos in the wake of a damning ethics report accusing him of brazen fraud and theft. Santos remains defiant, saying: "If they want to send me home...God bless their hearts."

Tonight, we unpack the shadowy world of George Santos. This episode has been digitally re-edited and remastered.

There are many red flags that Santos could be a foreign spy. His lies suggest he's hiding his true identity. Spies often have criminal histories to help them operate - Santos is accused of fraud in Brazil and running a Ponzi scheme in the U.S. He's fabricated his entire background - no one knows where he was really educated. He has suspicious foreign funding ties to a Russian oligarch close to Putin. The layers of deception raise spy suspicions.

George Santos: A Trump Fanatic

Santos is cut from Trump's cloth - an obnoxious superfan. He outrageously claimed his house was ransacked just for attending a Trump party. Like Trump, he's an audacious liar.

George Santos: A Hidden Drag Queen?

There's evidence Santos once performed in drag as "Kitara Ravash" in Brazil under his alias "Anthony Devolder." As Republicans attack drag events, the irony of Santos potentially being a drag queen is striking.

The Russian Oligarch Backing George Santos

Santos has funding ties to sanctioned Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg, who operates as a Putin delegate and allegedly runs an Israeli-Russian spying operation. Vekselberg's cousin Andrew Intrater, representing his business interests, donated thousands to Santos and groups supporting his Congressional bid.

The GOP Leadership's Support for George Santos

Despite his outrageous lies, GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy has refused calls to expel Santos, valuing his one-vote majority over integrity. But damning new allegations make his removal inevitable.

Conclusion

The questions surrounding Santos and his foreign backers raise serious unanswered questions about threats to national security. His imminent expulsion comes as no surprise.

Attorney John Anthony Castro is on a bold mission that could rock American politics - using an obscure constitutional clause to legally disqualify Donald Trump from running for president in 2024.Castro's ingenious strategy centers on the 14th Amendment's anti-insurrection section, which bars anyone involved in rebellion against the U.S. from holding office. His argument: Trump's role in inciting the January 6th Capitol attack crosses that line.

But this unprecedented legal gambit faces major hurdles. Courts have dismissed similar voter-driven lawsuits for lack of "standing." As a direct Trump opponent, Castro asserts his injury gives him grounds to sue.

If the case proceeds, the next question is whether the clause is "self-executing" - enforceable without further congressional action. A ruling in Castro's favor could be a massive leap toward barring Trump's candidacy.

Yet the most significant obstacle may be proving an actual "insurrection" occurred on January 6th - a hotly disputed issue with massive political stakes.

Win or lose, Castro's lawsuit puts a little-known constitutional provision under a glaring spotlight. By challenging Trump, he gained media attention for his future presidential aspirations.

The outcome of this bold legal fight is uncertain. But one thing is clear - Castro's ingenious move could set a precedent with lasting effects on American politics and elections. His quest marks an unprecedented attempt to employ the courts to reshape the political landscape.

This episode focuses on exploring the rising influence of Christian nationalism in America and its potential connection to China. The hosts discuss the relationships of key figures such as Ivanka Trump, Wendy Deng Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch, and Jared Kushner. They also elaborate on the potential roles played by proxies such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, Israel, the UAE, and Egypt. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to analyzing the influence of individuals like Michael Flynn and Steve Bannon, as well as organizations such as the Federalist Society and Rule of Law Foundation. The episode concludes with a warning about the crucial upcoming elections and the imperative to resist potential outside influences threatening America's democracy.

Speaker Mike Johnson has concerning connections to Russia that raise national security questions as he pushes for President Biden's impeachment.

Johnson has long received donations from American Ethane, a company run by two Russians with direct Kremlin ties. American Ethane bankrolled Johnson for years to grease the wheels on getting approval for a proposed ethane terminal in Louisiana. Interestingly, while the firm is Russian-owned and named American Ethane, the exports were all destined for China.

Johnson's anti-LGBTQ advocacy also aligns closely with Russia's global anti-gay agenda. He has compared homosexuality to pedophilia and called it dangerous. His wife runs a Christian counseling service equating homosexuality with bestiality. In the 2000s, Johnson provided legal advice to Exodus International, a harmful conversion therapy group, as well as advocacy for an anti-gay "Day of Truth" in schools. At the time, Johnson worked for the Alliance Defending Freedom, which connected him to Russia's representative at the anti-LGBTQ World Congress of Families. The WCF authored Russia's severe anti-gay propaganda law.

Johnson's personal life also raises questions. He adopted a black son when he was 25, two years before meeting his wife. Yet few photos exist of Johnson's adopted son with the rest of the family. Johnson has been elusive in providing details about the adoption. In 2010, Johnson was dean of a failed Baptist law school embroiled in fundraising and child abuse scandals, which he conveniently omits from his resume.

With an impeachment of President Biden looming, Moscow may be applying pressure on Johnson through compromising materials obtained over years of Russian connections. The stakes could not be higher to determine whether the Kremlin is influencing the impeachment process through Speaker Johnson.

She is one of Israel’s leading political commentators and her interview was as poignant as it was politically prescient. Thank you, Tal.Shalev (no relation) of Walla! News, Please follow her work @talshalev1

In this episode, chief political correspondent Tal Shalev provides a sobering view from Tel Aviv on the crisis in Israel and Gaza. She explains how the October 7th attacks inflicted severe trauma on Israelis, leaving the country grief-stricken and insecure.

Shalev discusses the deteriorating humanitarian emergency unfolding in Gaza as Israel's ground offensive continues. She notes Israel is unwilling to open humanitarian corridors without the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.

Shalev argues Netanyahu has failed to take responsibility for security failures leading up to the October 7th attack. She states he is clinging to power but faces pressure from the Biden administration to resign.

Moreover, Shalev expresses deep concern about the disturbing global backlash against Jews, with rising antisemitism bringing back collective traumas. She argues Western societies must unequivocally condemn the evil of Hamas’ actions.

In terms of solutions, Shalev states a prisoner swap to free hostages could happen but would be politically difficult for Netanyahu. She contends extensive military action is needed to degrade Hamas’ capabilities. Shalev says a diplomatic push led by the US and Arab states will be required to restore some stability.

Overall, Shalev offers a sobering inside view of the trauma, pain and complexity of the crisis confronting Israel. She makes a powerful case that firm military resolve combined with international diplomacy is critical to containing the threat from Hamas.

In this episode, former GOP Congressman Denver Riggleman joins to discuss the concerning election of far-right Republican Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. Riggleman explains how Johnson's extreme views and embrace of election conspiracy theories pose a real "danger to democracy" given his position third in line to the presidency.

Riggleman provides background on Johnson's surprise victory for Speaker, noting his "far, far, far right" stances and record promoting election fraud claims and QAnon conspiracies. He warns there is now a severe risk of Biden's impeachment efforts and undermining support for Ukraine under Johnson's leadership.

Drawing on his investigative work for the January 6th committee, Riggleman reveals stunning insights from Mark Meadows' texts, which he argues provided a "roadmap to the insurrection." The messages spotlight connections between the Stop the Steal conspiracy theories and the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation campaign.

Most alarmingly, Riggleman discloses that Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was embedded in these group texts coordinating with the White House on election challenges. He contends this suggests potential judicial branch involvement in subverting the election.

Overall, Riggleman makes a compelling case that Johnson's rise to Speaker of the House signals the GOP's disturbing slide into extremism and tolerance of dangerous conspiracies. He surfaces the urgent need to counter these anti-democratic forces connected to January 6th that are still working to undermine the Biden presidency.

Guest: Denver Riggleman, former GOP Congressman and author of "The Breach"

As we conclude, we challenge you to reflect on the battle for truth, the value of freedom, and the essential role of accountability in our society.

Rupert Murdoch’s Australian newspapers hit the streets on Friday morning without the news that the media mogul was stepping down and his son Lachlan would become sole chair of News Corp and Fox Corp.

Hunter Biden's indictment isn't just a political chess piece - it's an intricate cog in the machine, gunning for President Biden's second term. We're tearing into the whirlwind of allegations, media responses, and the plot twists emanating from the White House. We're also shedding some light on the role of FBI counterintelligence agent Jonathan Buma and his whistleblower complaint, suggesting a narrative you may not be hearing: allegations against the Bidens might be part of a Russian and Chinese strategy to re-elect Donald Trump.

We are digging into the big questions around Joe Biden's presidency and putting a magnifying glass to special counsel David Weiss' investigation, the Russia hoax, and its potential influence on future elections. We spare no detail in discussing David Letterman's on-air confession and what it means in the grand scheme of things. Moreover, we're throwing into sharp relief Donald Trump's potential return to the White House and Hunter Biden's business operation.

Trump, the proverbial Trojan horse for global adversaries, remains a daunting threat to our democracy. Brace yourself for an intense journey as we delve into his dark machinations - from the shocking revelations about Enrique Tarrio's 22-year sentence for his role in the January 6th assault on the US Capitol to the unnerving investigations against Roger Stone and Peter Navarro's contempt of Congress. The chilling reality of Trump's alliance with world adversaries, hell-bent on world domination, will leave you questioning the very foundations of our political landscape.

We don't stop there. The specter of Trump running for president in 2024 and the potential for a catastrophic coup post-election looms ominously. Matt Gaetz's warning of potential bloodshed is unsettling, to say the least. Yet, the disqualification under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment could be the silver lining we seek. As we unravel these complex issues, we push the boundaries of conventional discourse and explore the legal implications of the 14th Amendment on Trump's eligibility. Uncover with us a fresh perspective on how Congressional determination of insurrection could render a guilty verdict unnecessary, potentially saving us from a terrifying dystopian future.

Russia's new offensive in Ukraine failed to materialize on the first anniversary of the war's start.

Some people credit Joe Biden's visit to Ukraine earlier in the week for Russia's decision not to ramp up their attacks on Ukrainian forces and civilians.

In this episode, we look at the impact of one year since Russia's war against Ukraine started. We hear reflections on the remarkable turnarounds since then and the looming clouds on the horizon as the German publication publishes details about China's plans to provide killer drones and parts for a fighter jet to Russia for use in Ukraine. We also examine the symbolic significance of US President Joe Biden's visit to Kyiv with Zelensky and the counterpoint of the meeting between Xi and Putin in the Kremlin. We look at the global confrontation between the forces of democracy and the forces of dictatorship and the need to call out and sanction entities that work around the sanctions. We hear a warning from the leaders at the Munich conference to China against exporting weapons to Russia and the subsequent revelations of American intelligence. We also explore China's reported negotiations to supply Russia with Kamikaze drones and China's supplying components and know-how so Russia can produce up to one hundred drones a month. Finally, we look ahead to the US Presidential Election in 2024 and speculate that the world may look different by then.

(0:00:00) - The Impact of One Year (10 Minutes)

Narativ Live marks an anniversary of one year since the start of Russia's war against Ukraine. The conversation reflects on the remarkable turnaround since then, and the looming clouds on the horizon as the German publication publishes details about China's plans to provide killer drones and parts for a fighter jet to Russia for use in Ukraine.

(0:09:46) - Allies of Darkness (6 Minutes)

Allies of Darkness' examines the symbolic significance of Joe Biden's visit to Kyiev with Zelensky and the counterpoint of the meeting between Xi and Putin in the Kremlin. The conversation highlights the global confrontation between the forces of democracy and the forces of dictatorships, with the masks now off and with many consequences.

(0:16:09) - China's Defiance in Global Conflict (7 Minutes)

China is reportedly negotiating to supply Russia with Kamikaze drones, which could arrive in April. The US and Germany have warned China not to deliver weapons to Russia, but the negotiations continue.

(0:23:09) - China and Russia's Proxy War (13 Minutes)

This conversation delves into the geopolitics and ideologies of Russia and China's involvement in Ukraine. It discusses the irrational logic of military attacks on civilians and Russia's use of special operations and information warfare. China is suspected of providing Russia with replacement parts for fighter jets and drones and satellite imagery of combat zones. Finally, the conversation looks ahead to the US Presidential Election in 2024 and speculates that the world may look different.

We initially assessed this scandal as the worst in decades of FBI history," says Zev Shalev. "Now, we believe it to be the biggest in the history of the FBI. It may even be the biggest spy scandal in the history of the United States."

The alleged corruption of FBI supervising agent Charles McGonigal led us to revisit the 2016 FBI probes into both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. We found an FBI Director determined to interfere in the elections, a lead investigator who dismissed crucial evidence instead of pursuing less credible leads, and McGonigal's fingerprints on two significant aspects of the investigation.

These two episodes, titled "Contagion," show how the FBI's leadership interfered in the election process while agents within their ranks had been compromised. In Part 2 , we examine McGonigal and Jim Comey's roles in 2016.

It's the fourth episode of Zev Shalev's investigation into the McGonigal Affair.

The big question is not how much damage did McGonigal cause once he working for Oleg Deripaska post 2018. The real question is how far into the bureaus's caseload does the corruption spread. If Charlie McGonigal was a corrupt agent, a mole within the FBI, when did his corruption begin?

What if he was corrupt during the entire process that the investigation into Trump Russia was happening? What if he was feeding information to various sources, including maybe Donald Trump, about what was going on in the investigation and then also what was happening with the Hillary Clinton email investigations?-------------A personal note from Zev:-------------Dear friend: Thank you for tuning into Narativ's podcast.

EXCLUSIVE! Zev names three more ex-FBI agents publicly tied to the McGonigal Affair - the biggest espionage scandal to hit the Federal Bureau of Investigations in decades. In addition to Charles McGonigal's two indictments centered on Oleg Deripaska and Albania, Zev reveals another former agent was found guilty of attempting to bribe the Puerto Rico governor. Are the two indictments connected? And how? And the biggest question: How did this corruption impact the FBI's investigations into the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump campaigns in the Summer of 2016?

As Zev's interest in the McGonigal Affair intensifies, he calls Spy Talk's Jeff Stein for some advice. Jeff is a former intelligence reporter for Newsweek and The Washington Post. Zev asks what makes a 22-year veteran like Charlie McGonigal turn against his country. Jeff provides remarkably insightful commentary on the mindset of an FBI agent and reveals what his sources are telling him about Charlie McGonigal. Jeff also reveals a Russian diplomat once attempted to recruit him.

"Was Charles McGonigal Putin's mole inside the FBI's New York field office?" Zev asks on this week's podcast. McGonigal is the subject of two federal indictments and faces new claims he was involved in a $300 Million Kremlin oil scheme. If proven, this could be the biggest scandal in recent FBI history and may force the reopening of some historical cases.

Zev is joined by Craig Unger, who wrote "American Kompromat" and "House of Bush, House of Saud."

The two men piece together McGonigal's timeline in a gripping hour-long show which re-examines McGonigal's case history, like TWA-800, 911, Trump-Russia, and the theft of the Los Alamos nuclear secrets.

Zev and Craig also look at McGonigal's FBI family tree and reveal some familiar and controversial names.
