Weekly Roundup: The UFC Presidency: Election Lies, Blood Sport Politics, and Hegseth's D-Day Disgrace (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)
The conversation then turns to the Trump administration's unprecedented UFC event at the White House and Pete Hegseth's controversial D-Day remarks in Normandy. Brad and Dan analyze the UFC spectacle as a symbol of a broader political vision rooted in domination, submission, and conflict rather than democratic deliberation and compromise. They also discuss Hegseth's embrace of Western civilizational rhetoric and anti-immigrant messaging during a commemoration of the Allied fight against fascism, situating his comments within a larger framework of Christian nationalism, Western chauvinism, and the growing influence of the postliberal right. Along the way, they reflect on America's declining international standing, the politics of spectacle, and reasons for hope as public resistance to authoritarianism continues to grow.

Goodstein, who has served on the state judicial bench since 1989, in September issued a temporary injunction on the release of the state's voter files to the Trump administration-led US justice department.
