For years, Republicans have accused teachers, librarians, LGBTQ Americans, and political opponents of threatening children. But what happens when those accusations collide with disturbing scandals involving members of their own party?

In this episode of Under the Radar, Mary exposes the hypocrisy behind the GOP's child protection rhetoric, beginning with a controversial campaign ad from California Republican Steve Hilton, criminal cases involving former Republican lawmakers Justin Eichorn and RJ May III, federal charges against former West Virginia legislator David Pritt, and the disgrace of former House Speaker Dennis Hastert.

And then there's Donald Trump and the Jeffrey Epstein files. Journalist Katie Phang is challenging the Justice Department over withheld records, including FBI interview materials containing unproven allegations against Donald Trump.

Republicans have spent years pointing fingers at everyone else. Now the scrutiny is turning toward their own ranks, raising serious questions about hypocrisy, transparency, and accountability.

With the midterms just days away, Donald is crisscrossing the country at a feverish pace, delivering increasingly bizarre campaign speeches, promising $5,000 dividend checks, and bragging about polls that are now telling a very different story. Meanwhile, his rallies are becoming showcases for hecklers, outrageous claims, and some truly uncomfortable moments.

JD Vance lectures Americans about government fraud, Pete Hegseth's staff destroys a historic Eisenhower globe, and Melania apparently has a new mission: negotiating peace between Russia and Ukraine. From imaginary payouts to questionable priorities, the absurdity never stops.

Mary Trump SLAMS Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy over a $4 million attack ad and reveals the family trauma behind Donald's destructive brand of cruelty. From his upbringing in a family that prized domination and viewed weakness with contempt to his admiration for authoritarian leaders, Donald's obsession with power and intimidation has shaped his entire political identity.

As the midterm elections approach, Donald and his Republican allies are increasingly turning to cruelty, fear, and intimidation. Mary exposes the psychology behind these tactics, the dangerous consequences for American democracy, and why Donald's greatest fear may be losing the power he has spent his entire life trying to protect.

With the midterms approaching and Republicans facing mounting political pressure, Donald Trump is taking his increasingly bizarre campaign speeches into traditionally Republican territory. But instead of focusing on the issues facing voters, Donald seems far more interested in talking about himself.

From evaluating the physical appearance of Republican candidates to admiring the beautiful women attending his rallies, wondering where their husbands have gone, and admitting that even terrible people can win him over with enough flattery, Donald's speeches offer a revealing look at his priorities.

Mary brings together the most outrageous moments, the rambling word salad, and the relentless self-praise in another episode of The Breakdown, where Donald's own words tell the story better than anyone else could.

Donald promised lower energy prices and an end to endless wars. Instead, Americans are facing soaring costs, an ongoing war with Iran, and a White House that insists everything is going according to plan.

J.D. Vance promises a deal, Tim Scott declares Donald's love for America, and Donald gives himself an A++++ for his economic performance. Meanwhile, the president struggles to stay awake, lectures the country about criminals, and asks voters to pretend he's on the ballot in November.

With the midterms approaching, it's time to give credit where credit is due.

Donald Trump's childhood and his relationship with his father, Fred Trump, offer a disturbing window into the family dynamics that helped shape the man who would become president. Drawing on her firsthand knowledge of the Trump family, Mary connects a childhood marked by emotional neglect, cruelty, and dysfunction to the anger, arrogance, and bullying that have defined Donald's public life.

From the lasting influence of Fred Trump's parenting to the consequences of Donald's behavior today, this episode explores how deeply rooted family patterns can shape an individual and, in Donald Trump's case, affect an entire nation.

Since returning to office, Donald has used the power of the federal government to try to reshape how Americans register to vote, how states maintain voter rolls, how mail ballots are handled, and who oversees elections. At the same time, Donald continues to insist that American elections are vulnerable to being rigged or stolen. These stories sometimes make headlines, but corporate media rarely connects the dots. Taken together, they show how claims about election fraud have become the basis for an expanding federal role in elections traditionally administered by states.

Despite Donald’s promises to slash energy costs, Americans are paying more as the Iran war approaches seven months. His tariff policies continue to drive economic uncertainty, yet still no tariff checks or DOGE checks, even as Donald promises yet another check immediately following the midterms, under certain conditions.

From rising gas prices and credit card debt to the growing affordability crisis, we look back at Donald’s own words as he dismisses Americans’ financial struggles and gives himself an A-plus on his handling of the economy.

There’s also Donald on career criminals, his insistence that America is now the “hottest country in the world,” and one Pennsylvania voter with a few thoughts about the last election.
