  Pete Hegseth needs $67 billion to keep his war in Iran funded — and it's Republicans, not Democrats, standing in his way. Tara breaks down the Pentagon purge and why senators like Tillis and Ernst say he's "lost my confidence."

  Why The Government Has Released Less Than 2% of The Epstein Files 16.08.2026 24min

  Tara Palmeri discusses what we still don't know about Jeffrey Epstein, why survivors say they have been ignored by the Department of Justice, and the mystery surrounding the vast amount of Epstein evidence that remains unseen. Palmeri discusses the missing Epstein videotapes, the FBI's handling of the files, why whistleblowers may be afraid to come forward, Epstein's alleged connections to powerful political and intelligence figures, and how he managed to avoid serious prosecution for so long.

  Vance or Rubio? The Brutal Battle for Trump’s Legacy w/ Julia Ioffe 02.08.2026 19min

  Thanks to Ground News for sponsoring the show! Only by using my link, you can get 40% off the unlimited access Vantage plan. Go to https://www.groundnews.com/tara today! Is 2028 a race JD Vance and Marco Rubio can never win? Donald Trump doesn't build successors — he builds loyalists. And the closer you are to him, the more dangerous your position becomes. This week, I'm joined by Puck's Julia Ioffe to break down the shadow primary already underway: Trump polling dinner guests on Vance vs. Rubio, the Donald Trump Jr. wildcard nobody wants to say out loud, and why the earliest frontrunners almost never make it to the finish line (remember when it was "definitely" going to be Ron DeSantis?). Then we go deeper: JD Vance's Catholic conversion, the rise of the reactionary Catholic wing of the Republican Party, what Julia learned reporting on the Russian Orthodox Church under Putin, and how Steve Bannon, Viktor Orban, and the anti-Francis Catholics became the ideological core of the new MAGA right. Julia Ioffe is a founding partner and Washington correspondent at Puck, and the author of "Motherland: A Feminist History of Modern Russia, from Revolution to Autocracy."

  The Math Behind Every Successful Revolution 21.07.2026 51min

  Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Julia Angwin joins Tara Palmeri to discuss her new book, On Courage: How to Be a Dissident in the Age of Fear. Drawing on stories from whistleblowers, journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens around the world, Angwin explains why authoritarianism thrives on fear—and why collective, nonviolent action has historically been its greatest weakness. They discuss the warning signs of democratic backsliding, the importance of independent journalism, how corruption ultimately weakens authoritarian movements, and what ordinary people can do to resist intimidation without resorting to violence.

  From Putin to Trump: 5 Times FIFA Bent the Knee 19.07.2026 10min

  FIFA calls itself the guardian of the world's game — but pull back the curtain, Tara Palmeri argues, and it looks less like a sports body and more like a global power broker where politics and money matter more than soccer. In this documentary-style breakdown, Tara is joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Ken Bensinger, author of "Red Card: How the U.S. Blew the Whistle on the World's Biggest Sports Scandal," to walk through FIFA's most damning chapters. They trace the through-line of patronage: Russia's bribe-fueled 2018 World Cup and Gianni Infantino's full-throated embrace of Vladimir Putin (who awarded him the Order of Friendship at the Kremlin); the 1978 tournament staged in Argentina under a murderous military dictatorship; Qatar 2022, won through bribery and built by migrant workers who died by the thousands, then defended by Infantino's surreal "Today I feel Qatari, today I feel a migrant worker" speech; and the engineered 2034 process that cleared every rival so Saudi Arabia could win unopposed — shortly before state oil giant Aramco signed a massive FIFA sponsorship. Finally, they get to the 2026 World Cup on North American soil, where — for the first time in 60 years — a red-card suspension was overturned, not through a referee appeal, but after President Trump personally called the FIFA president. Bensinger explains why, given everything about how FIFA operates, that stunning reversal was almost inevitable — and how Infantino's cultivation of Trump, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia keeps the money flowing and his grip on power secure. 0:00 – FIFA as a global power broker: meet reporter Ken Bensinger 0:43 – Russia 2018: bribes, sanctions, and Infantino's embrace of Putin 1:49 – Argentina 1978: a World Cup under a military dictatorship 2:13 – Qatar 2022: bribery, migrant worker deaths, and the "Today I feel…" speech 3:58 – The Saudi Arabia 2034 maneuver — and the Aramco sponsorship 5:23 – Trump's phone call that overturned a red card at the 2026 World Cup 6:53 – Infantino's grip on power, an $11 billion World Cup, and dodging questions Learn more about your ad choices.
