All The President's Minutes - "It doesn't make sense" with James Oliphant: All The President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. In a special bonus episode, I join National politics correspondent for Reuters, James Oliphant. Blake and James discuss the ramifications of Trump's election tampering tapes and tries to explain that he's no longer surprised by the current president's actions, rather the flagrant approach to disrupt American political institutions. by One Heat Minute Productions

An Impeachment Manager on Trump’s Acquittal: There was a sense of fatalism going into former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial. Many felt that it would almost certainly end in acquittal. Not the Democratic impeachment managers. “You cannot go into a battle thinking you’re going to lose,” said Stacey Plaskett, the congressional representative from the U.S. Virgin Islands who was one of the managers. Today, we sit down with Ms. Plaskett for a conversation with Ms. Plaskett about the impeachment and acquittal and what happens next. by The Daily

Ep. 801 The Deep State Doubles Down: Summary:In this episode I address the troubling opinion piece in the NY Times from an alleged “senior official” within the Trump administration. This person is a coward and should resign immediately. I also address the stunning revelations about Rod Rosenstein that were leveled last night on cable news. News Picks:The gutless coward who wrote the anonymous NY Times op-ed should resign immediately. Byron York addresses some key takeaways from the anonymous NY Times op-ed. John Solomon’s latest piece covers the troubling relationship between the FBI, the DOJ, and the media. Sara Carter’s latest piece addresses the coming storm for Rod Rosenstein and the DOJ. Why is Barack Obama’s staff hiding his speaking fee in Denmark? Socialist Cynthia Nixon can’t figure out how to pay for her socialist nightmare. This California Democrat’s “boycott” blew up in his face. Copyright CRTV. All rights reserved. by The Dan Bongino Show

The Greatest One-Punch in Political History (Ep 1174): In this episode, I address President Trump’s incredible State of the Union address last night and the real genius behind many of the memorable moments. I also address the continued meltdown of the Democrat Party after the Iowa Caucus and the problems they’ll have moving forward. News Picks:The State of the Union address last night was one for the ages. The hapless Iowa Democrats may have screwed up the entire nomination process. President Trump’s approval rating hits an all time high! Was the fake whistleblower plotting from the beginning to destroy the Trump presidency? Conservative icon Rush Limbaugh to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The debt crisis continues to grow worse. Democrats are trying to change the language again. Here’s the real story behind Michael Bloomberg and the NRA. Copyright Dan Bongino All Rights Reserved. by The Dan Bongino Show
