The Bob Cesca Show | Politics Podcast, News & Commentary

Our new Katie Zacharia sounds. Zacharia didn’t pass the bar exam. Donald couldn’t remember the words “cognitive test.” Donald and a newborn baby's ass. "It's called a coganative test." Donald loves the inflation. And more short-circuits from his recent rallies. The execution will not be televised. As predicted, tariffs are also causing an increase in prices for domestic goods. U.S. inflation rose to 3.7% in September from a year earlier. A coverup of insider trading is underway. The mother of all bombs??! Good news about the midterms, and good news from Mayor Mamdani.

The great Donna Halper is here and once again we focused on her areas of expertise: the news media and, of course, a little bit of Rush discourse in there, too. For those of you just joining us, Donna is a college professor and media historian – she’s also a former radio deejay who introduced American audiences to Rush, my favorite band, way back in 1974. Today we talked about Donald’s attempted news media ban, we talked about how the news media can improve in the age of disinformation and social media clout-seeking, and so much more. Follow Donna’s blog at dlhalperblog.blogspot.com – link in the description. And Don’t forget to support this podcast at patreon.com/bobcescashow. Music by Equals Conquest.

Donald’s news media ban was part of a trap involving JD Vance. Donald’s creepy propaganda video paid for with Homeland Security funds. Another DOJ prosecutor resigned from Donald’s retribution investigations. Bill Maher is a MAGA propagandist (and he doesn't understand V for Vendetta).
