Rick Wilson's The Enemies List

Pete Hegseth went from being a tatted-up, Fox News weekend host with a frat-boy persona to being Secretary of Defense. It's going as well as any rational person might have expected. That is to say, according to insiders, reporting, and our own eyes and ears, it’s a disaster. His time at the Pentagon has been marked by leaked classified information, paranoia-driven purges of senior staff, and an obsession with dismantling diversity programs, even if it means erasing sacred military history. Hegseth, who has a history of alleged abuse and heavy drinking, threatens to lead the greatest military the world has ever seen over a cliff. Even MAGA allies and Republican officials can see the edge quickly approaching and are now scrambling to distance themselves from the fallout. But here's the thing: Trump is stuck with him.

Pam Bondi fits a certain MAGA mold. She's blonde. She's attractive. She's blindly obedient to Trump. And she's, well, not smart. Instead of making her someone to disregard as just another make-up-slathered clown, it makes her one of the most dangerous figures on the Enemies List. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Rick boards the F-bomb train to lead us into the unsettling world of Howard Lutnick, the billionaire CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and Donald Trump's Secretary of Commerce - and the most hated man on Wall Street (and that's a high bar). Lutnick's MAGA superpower is his willingness to destroy the global economy and ensure abject financial misery for most Americans in exchange for kudos from his favorite special guy. Kidding aside, there is almost no cleaner parallel to the fealty authoritarian regimes require than Howard Lutnick. The damage his loyalty-over-competence approach threatens the global order, American power, and our democratic institutions. That means it also threatens your job, your financial well-being, and the future security of your family. As Rick says, Lutnick is building a temple of stupid on top of a mountain of burning tires.

In this episode, Rick does something a little different - a solo deep dive into someone who is actively destroying American institutions and harming citizens. Today, he breaks down the dangerous conduct of Karoline Leavitt, a key figure in the Trump administration, exposing her deceitful actions and the toxic political culture she embodies. Rick draws parallels between Leavitt's behavior and the influence of figures like Roy Cohn on Donald Trump's political strategy. The episode emphasizes the importance of holding these bad actors accountable and stresses the need for a free and inquisitive press during these turbulent times. 00:00 Introduction and New Format Announcement 02:04 Highlighting the Enemies: Carolyn Levitt 03:41 The Influence of Roy Cohn and Roger Stone 05:53 Carolyn Levitt's Media Tactics 11:40 The Hypocrisy of the Trump Administration 14:10 Conclusion: Carolyn Levitt on the Enemies List Learn more about your ad choices.
