Revolution_The Podcast - January 14/18

Arlene Bynon and John LeBoutillier examine the state of Donald Trump since Michael Wolff's Fire And Fury was published. What has this book done to Trump? Has it deflated him? Is he suddenly vulnerable? What about Steve Bannon? Is he now out to pay back Trump for engineering his removal from Breitbart? Has Rupert Murdoch begun to turn on Trump in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post? What about Fox News - will Murdoch move it away from supporting Trump? Is this, as Michael Wolff says, "The end of this presidency?"

Revolution_The Podcast - January 4/18

Arlene Bynon and John LeBoutillier examine how the Trump White House has been rocked by the revelations in Michael Wolff's new book, FIRE AND FURY. The disdain his senior staffer have for him; the private doubts they have about his competence; the vicious backbiting and competition among the various factions surrounding him. How does this impact the GOP, the conservative movement and the Mueller Investigation?

Revolution_The Podcast - December 28/17

Arlene Bynon and John LeBoutillier look ahead to 2018 and make a series of bold predictions about the 2018 midterm elections, the Mueller Investigation, the Trump Presidency and the GOP, the Counter-Revolution, the MeToo Movement - and even the 2018 Time Magazine Man of The Year.

Revolution_The Podcast - December 21/17

Arlene Bynon and John LeBoutillier analyze the ethos of "loyalty" and Donald Trump. Does he see the Presidency as a Regal Authority to which all pledge their loyalty? The ceremony to celebrate the passing of the tax bill was yet another example of Members of Congress kissing his ring and massaging his ego. And this week we learned of his fury at Justice Neil Gorsuch last spring when the then-Supreme Court nominee privately criticized Trump's disparaging view of "so-called judges." Where will Trump's obsession with loyalty lead him and the nation?

Revolution_The Podcast - December 14/17

Arlene Bynon & John LeBoutillier dissect President Trump's - and the GOP's - problems in this post-Alabama world: the huge increase in minority and millennial turnout; the defection of suburban women; the massive gap in support for a Democratic takeover of Congress in 2018; the decline in POTUS' poll ratings even in states he won a year ago; and the crash of female support for Trump nationally down to a shocking 24%.

Revolution_The Podcast - December 7/17

Arlene Bynon & John LeBoutillier analyze the unfolding drama in the Trump-Russia Investigation; the MeToo Movement as it sweeps through the the political world; and the political revolution as it changes all the norms in Washington DC. Is Trump feeling the heat? Is the White House showing signs of the pressure? Has Mike Flynn's unexpected cooperation with Special Counsel Mueller rocked the Trump White House to its core?

Revolution_The Podcast - November 30/17

Arlene Bynon & John LeBoutillier discuss the even-more-erratic nature of President Trump's recent behavior; the apparent "turning" of General Michael Flynn in the Mueller Probe; the still-burgeoning sexual harassment scandal sweeping the US; and the North Korean launch of an ICBM and the imminent changes in the Trump foreign policy team at this critical time.

Revolution_The Podcast - November 23/17

Arlene Bynon & John LeBoutillier analyze President Trump's surprise endorsement of GOP candidate Roy Moore in the Alabama special Senate election: Why did he do it? What is the risk? Will it push Moore to victory - or cost the GOP women voters in this race and the 2018 mid-terms? What of the Charlie Rose scandal? Are there more to come? And what are Special Counsel Mueller's latest moves?

Revolution_The Podcast - November 16/17

Arlene Bynon & John LeBoutillier explore how the accusations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore have the potential to spread nationally to the Republican Party and ultimately to President Trump. The gender gap, the Trump Administration's disproportionate appointment of 80% men to Federal jobs and last week's election results all portend trouble in 2018 for the GOP. Meanwhile Special Counsel Robert Mueller moves ahead while President Trump and Fox try to convince a skeptical-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to appoint a Special Counsel to explore Hillary Clinton and Uranium One.

Revolution_The Podcast - November 9/17

Arlene Bynon & John LeBoutillier examine Tuesday's election results: What do they mean? Was it a decidedly anti-Trump/anti-GOP wave? What does it say about the current state of the Trump Presidency? What does it portend for 2018? Does it impact the Tax Cut bill - and the Mueller Trump-Russia Investigation?
