- Prime Time History/Politics: The Not-so-Secret Struggle to Rig the 2026 Midterms
-
Join Rich Elfers as he leads lively discussions about current and historical events, geopolitics and politics within the United States and worldwide.
If you have been watching the orders from the White House to Republican governors, legislatures, and the Supreme Court, you will see a distinct pattern. Trump does not want to lose control of Congress during the midterms. He has encouraged mid-decade redistricting and gained support from the Supreme Court by gutting the 1965 Voting Rights Act, creating what some call Jim Crow 2.0. Learn the real story that legacy media has been largely silent about, which threatens our representative democracy through collusion between the three conservative-controlled branches of government. The battle has been fierce; Democrats have responded in kind by gerrymandering their own states and filing lawsuits in federal and state courts. The winner of this battle for control of the U.S. government will be determined in the November midterm elections.

- Prime Time History/Politics: The War Against Iran: Trump's Goals and Miscalculations
-
Join Rich Elfers as he leads lively discussions about current and historical events, geopolitics and politics within the United States and worldwide.
President Trump seemed to have specific goals in mind regarding Iran, but he didn't voice them to either Congress or the American people. His approach was not clearly defined in public nor did he limit his goals as he "listened to his gut," and not to his advisors. It appears that President Trump had not thought through the details before he entered this war under Israel's influence. During this session, we're going to consider the calculations and miscalculations and whether President Trump is a masterful negotiator or a terrible one.

- Prime Time History/Politics: The War Against Iran: Trump's Goals and Miscalculations
-
Join Rich Elfers as he leads lively discussions about current and historical events, geopolitics and politics within the United States and worldwide.
President Trump seemed to have specific goals in mind regarding Iran, but he didn't voice them to either Congress or the American people. His approach was not clearly defined in public nor did he limit his goals as he "listened to his gut," and not to his advisors. It appears that President Trump had not thought through the details before he entered this war under Israel's influence. During this session, we're going to consider the calculations and miscalculations and whether President Trump is a masterful negotiator or a terrible one.
