AJ Rice on “The Curse of the Bearded Lady”: Satire, the Culture War, and the Battle for Common Sense

Greg Davis and Tom Littleton welcome AJ Rice, President and CEO of Publius PR, editor-in-chief of the Publius National Post, host of Dangerous Laughter, and author of The Curse of the Bearded Lady: How the Trans Mafia Whacked American Sanity. Rice discusses the third book in his satirical “mental illness trilogy” and explains why he believes humor and satire can be powerful tools for exposing cultural contradictions and challenging prevailing narratives. The conversation covers the transgender debate, politics, media, education, the 2024 election, and the role of “dangerous” voices willing to challenge cultural orthodoxies. Rice also shares his experiences working with figures including Laura Ingraham, Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump Jr., and others, and discusses why he believes liberty requires people willing to speak—and laugh—at uncomfortable truths.
