The Tara Palmeri Show

What happens when the largest bureaucracy in America gets remade around a fragile idea of masculinity? On this revealing episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, journalist Jasper Craven, author of God Forgives, Brothers Don't: The Long March of Military Education and the Making of American Manhood, breaks down how toxic masculinity has seeped into the Pentagon under Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The conversation traces the evolution of military culture from aspirational ideals to a warped emphasis on brawn over brains, the rollback of programs elevating women, the quiet dismantling of sexual assault response efforts, and Hegseth's personal history—from a straight-edge Princeton student to a figure fixated on aggression, body counts, and sidelining women in combat. Craven details how one woman's Silver Star in Iraq still haunts Hegseth, how institutional misogyny enables impunity, and what unchecked impulses could mean for warfare, accountability, and even domestic politics in the months ahead. What signs will show that Pentagon culture is sliding further into this outdated warrior mentality over the next year?

What happens when hundreds of young Republican staffers trade Sunday brunch for a three-hour evangelical service inside a Washington dive bar just blocks from the White House? Read the full story in Vanity Fair here: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/maga-dive-bar-washington-dc On this eye-opening episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara shares her firsthand experience stepping into the bar-turned-church, the cultural shock it evoked from her own Catholic upbringing, and the deeper implications of blending spiritual belonging with Washington networking. Steve Schmidt reflects on his encounters with evangelical culture, the dangers of fusing faith and politics, the risks of Christian nationalism, and why separation of church and state remains one of America's most vital safeguards. From personal family stories to sharp analysis of today's political-religious landscape, the discussion uncovers why this phenomenon resonates so strongly with a generation seeking meaning amid isolation. What does the rise of places like King's Church reveal about power, faith, and the next generation of political leaders in Washington?

What secrets about Jeffrey Epstein did Michael Cohen really hold back from investigators — and why did his own lawyers once pitch him as a key witness against Trump? On this revealing solo episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, a newly unearthed document from the Epstein files shows that Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime fixer, claimed he had heard Trump say things about Jeffrey Epstein and even sought a Rule 35 sentence reduction by offering substantial assistance to the Department of Justice. This directly contradicts Cohen’s repeated public denials — including in an August interview on this show — where he insisted he had zero knowledge of Epstein matters beyond one dismissed Jane Doe case he dismissed as baseless. The episode breaks down the contradictions, Cohen’s shifting explanations, the significance of Rule 35, and the crucial role of independent journalists and internet sleuths who surfaced this document when mainstream outlets missed it. Special thanks to the anonymous subscriber who flagged it, along with contributions from Lev Parnas and others in unpacking its implications for survivors and the pursuit of truth. What do you make of Michael Cohen’s conflicting accounts about what he knows regarding Trump and Epstein?

What happens when two fierce voices clash over ICE tactics, a fatal shooting, and the future of immigration enforcement in a divided America? On this fiery and unconventional episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, liberal commentator Roland Martin and Republican congressional candidate Lavern Spicer go head-to-head in a no-holds-barred debate. Moderated by Tara, the discussion dives into the January 7th shooting of U.S. citizen Rene Nicole Goode by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, competing interpretations of the incident, the line between necessary enforcement and intimidation, widespread protests and civil unrest, concerns over ICE methods, de-escalation versus escalation, accountability for federal agents, and the political targeting of blue cities versus red states. With sharp exchanges, demands for straight answers, and no shortage of tension, the conversation exposes deep divides on immigration policy, vetting, obedience to law, and trust in government actions amid a national crisis. Who made the stronger case in this intense back-and-forth on America's immigration battles?

What hidden agenda drives the Gulf States' massive investments in Trump properties and their trillion-dollar pledges to the U.S. economy? On this riveting crossover episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara joins forces with Sky News' Sally Lockwood live from her backyard in Dubai for an unfiltered collision of "State of the World" and the Tara Palmeri Show. The duo dives deep into President Trump's early foreign priorities in his second term, from lavish Trump-branded developments across the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia to the record-breaking gifts like Qatar's luxury 747 jet. They unpack the transactional nature of Gulf diplomacy, blending private business with public deals, the lingering influence of Jared Kushner and the Abraham Accords, escalating tensions with Iran just miles away, and broader questions about U.S. foreign policy shifts—from Venezuela's oil grab to potential flashpoints in Greenland and beyond.

How can doctors effectively counter medical misinformation when it's amplified by figures in the highest levels of government? On this hard-hitting episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, board-certified family physician and YouTube sensation Doctor Mike joins to take on RFK Jr.'s MAHA agenda and the broader wave of health misinformation sweeping the administration. He breaks down why engaging skeptics through real conversations on social media beats top-down fact sheets, critiques recent HHS changes to vaccine recommendations that bypass expert panels and risk higher rates of preventable diseases like measles, and explains the flaws in comparing U.S. policy to smaller nations with different systems. Doctor Mike also addresses trust erosion in institutions post-COVID, the underuse of social media by medical organizations, the dangers of fear-based messaging around vaccines, and why lifestyle changes remain harder to implement at scale than quick-fix claims. From debunking the "natural fallacy" to calling out misplaced priorities in food and research funding, this conversation dives deep into reclaiming public health through science and human connection. What steps should medical professionals and institutions take next to rebuild public trust in an era of viral misinformation?

Is America's bold strike on Maduro turning into the next prolonged foreign entanglement? On this revealing episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, former U.S. diplomat Brett Bruen, who served in Venezuela during his career and as director of global engagement in the Obama White House, joins to unpack the high-risk aftermath of the operation that captured Nicolás Maduro. Bruen explains why regime change often proves far easier than stabilization, from fractured power centers in the Chavista movement to the challenges of rebuilding oil production, addressing humanitarian crises, and navigating complex terrain that could fuel insurgency. The discussion dives into the Trump administration's pragmatic pressures on interim figures like Delcy Rodríguez, sidelining opposition leaders, potential oil motivations, and broader implications of revived Monroe Doctrine rhetoric inviting rival powers like China and Russia into the hemisphere.

Why has scandal become the new normal in Washington when few ever lose their jobs? On this revealing episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, veteran Capitol Hill reporter Juliegrace Brufke joins to count down the top political scandals of 2025. From Matt Gaetz's collapsed Attorney General nomination amid resurfaced allegations, to Pete Hegseth's confirmation survival despite patterns of misconduct, Tom Homan's alleged bribery sting, Kash Patel's misuse of government resources, Corey Mills' dark accusations, and the bombshell Signal Gate leak exposing insecure handling of classified war plans—no one at the highest levels paid a real price. Brufke also shares her own harrowing experience of being falsely swept into a lawmaker's personal scandal, offering unique insight into how proximity to power can shatter reputations while the powerful endure through loyalty and outrage fatigue.
