Interview Only w/Paul Glastris - Why America’s Colleges Are FAILING Their Students
Chuck Todd sits down with Washington Monthly editor-in-chief Paul Glastris to unpack how America’s college ranking system went off the rails—and how it’s warping higher education itself. Glastris argues that U.S. News & World Report rewards wealth, not value, pushing schools to chase prestige over affordability and teaching quality. He highlights Berea College as a model for what higher ed could be: a well-endowed school that actually invests in its students rather than its brand.

Special Episode - Jimmy Kimmel Pulled Off ABC Reaction: Trump Uses State Power To Silence Free Speech
On this special episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck reacts with alarm to ABC’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air after FCC Chair Brendan Carr issued unconstitutional, mob boss–style threats. Though Kimmel’s comments weren’t in violation of FCC rules, Carr’s pressure—amplified by Trump’s threats and Nexstar’s influence—sparked a firestorm over government coercion, corporate capitulation, and the chilling effect on free speech.

On this episode of the Chuck Toddcast, Chuck reflects on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it reveals about the tinderbox state of American politics.

Abroad, Russia escalates the war by sending drones into Polish airspace, while Israel’s strike on Hamas in Qatar risks leaving it more isolated on the world stage.

Chuck Todd: Rebuilding Los Angeles will (and should) be a national priority Original
Just days before Washington officially transitions back to the Trump era, the folks trying to plot out a successful first six months of his second term have a big new problem they will have to deal with and embrace — rebuilding America’s second-largest city. One of the hallmarks of every presidency I’ve covered is how the best-laid plans of a new (or newly re-elected) president have all run aground fairly quickly amid unforeseen crises.
Politico Panics: Trump Set to Unleash "Shock and Awe" Executive Orders
59 One of the major problems Trump faced in his first term came from inside the NSC with some of these detailees, as the person who spearheaded the first impeachment of Trump--Alexander Vindman--was one such person. Waltz told Breitbart News that he is taking very serious steps to ensure that there are no more Vindmans. Vindman has already put up a post on X bitterly complaining about this. The people who are detailed to the NSC are "nonpolitical", you see - like him.
Chuck Todd: Which party cracks up first in 2025? Original
Jan. 8, 2025, 10:00 AM UTC If there is one certainty in politics these days, it’s that the status quo rarely holds. And history tells us that when one party has control of the so-called trifecta of governing power — the White House, the House and the Senate — the new status quo has a shelf life of closer to two years than four. The GOP already feels time pressure to make use of its majorities under President-elect Donald Trump, while Democrats face the pressure of how to rebound from their loss.
Chuck Todd: The next great reform movement is poised to begin now Original
Dec. 18, 2024, 10:00 AM UTC The last time the United States had three one-term presidents in a row, the calendar year began with an “18.” Between Ulysses Grant and William McKinley, America actually had five straight one-term presidencies, including the two nonconsecutive terms of Grover Cleveland. All of the elections in that period were quite close, and all were essentially about which party could bring the country together and move it forward after the Civil War.

Chuck Todd: Is the rise of the independents coming? An experiment is brewing in a key battleground Original
Dec. 11, 2024, 10:00 AM UTC While most of Washington is obsessed with either the reality show that is President-elect Donald Trump's transition or the hand-wringing and blame-gaming over Democrats' election loss, a potentially critical political storyline is brewing in Michigan. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan shocked the Michigan political world by announcing he would run for governor in 2026 — but not as a Democrat, the party in which he’s been an active and prominent member of for 40 years.
Chuck Todd: College Football Playoff selection committee dodges controversy by correctly leaving Alabama out
Dec. 9, 2024, 2:32 PM UTC Thanks to a 56-yard game-winning field goal as time expired in the ACC Conference Championship, the College Football Playoff selection committee dodged controversy and produced a bracket that is as fair as any of us could have expected. Do I have nits to pick? Of course I do. But thankfully the committee awarded Southern Methodist for making it to their conference championship game rather than punish them for losing.
Chuck Todd: Despite expansion to 12 teams, the College Football Playoff is still broken Original
Dec. 6, 2024, 6:21 PM UTC To say college football has never gotten their postseason right is an understatement. And, once again, despite what appears to be a successful expansion of the college football postseason in 2024, the powers that be have created a system that is exclusive, not inclusive. Ultimately, it’s a system that could shrink the world of college football in a way that, long term, will cost everyone.

Chuck Todd: The Trumpification of Joe Biden Original
Dec. 4, 2024, 10:00 AM UTC President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter has earned plenty of criticism — and most of it, even the harsh partisan-tinged kind of criticism, has real merit. There’s no defense of the pardon beyond this one: He’s a father, and what parents wouldn’t use whatever power they had to help their children in crisis?
Chuck Todd: The destructive politics of 'whatever it takes' Original
Nov. 27, 2024, 12:32 PM UTC In our society and our culture, and therefore in our politics, there is a growing comfort in the “ends justifies the means” mentality. It now seems to apply to just about everything in our lives — sports, politics, celebrity and everything in between, like whatever it is Logan and Jake Paul do for a living.

Chuck Todd: Trump is burning his political capital quickly Original
Nov. 20, 2024, 10:00 AM UTC There are all sorts of lessons we like to pass on to our kids when it comes to competition, chief among them how to be a good loser and how to be a good winner. Sometimes, winners learn they have to be extra gracious, even if they don’t feel very gracious, because of the long-term benefits of taking the high road. This is particularly true in governing, especially governing in a polarizing climate.
Chuck Todd: Trump is burning his political capital quickly
Now For over a month now, my mother has been pestering me about her missing passport. It was in her closet, she said, and suddenly it was gone. It was expired, and renewing would be easier if she had the old one. She had no immediate travel plans, just a vague desire to visit Ethiopia, the country …
