  9. Conspiracy to Protect President Pedophile

    The government is actively protecting the Epstein perpetrators. That's no surprise but there is evidence now. Elon is a trillionaire now, and for now. It's not all bad news this week though. Thank you for listening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  13. Stealing Midterms

    Republicans will exploit any and all loopholes to hold power after the midterms; Democrats must do the same. It's getting really difficult to come to terms with the insane shit going on.

  15. Another Week, Another Pile of Crises

    It's still bad. There's a tenuous cease fire in Iran, a Democrat accused of SA, and maybe it's time tor the 25th amendment. The revolution might also be starting. We recorded this prior to the news, but Viktor Orban is done in Hungary. That's good news. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for...

  16. The President is Insane

    A rambling address to the nation, firing general officers, and more nonsense from the trump administration this week. We will have more to say next week about the rescue of the F-15E WSO.

    more
  17. No Kings 3

    Once again millions of people showed in No Kings rallies all over the country, and the world. They showed up to not demand a damn thing from the government.

  24. Remember Renee Nicole Good

    Hours after we recorded last week's episode, the US invaded Venezuela and kidnapped their President. Somehow, that's nowhere near the biggest story of the week. ICE agent Jonathon Ross murdered Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday January 7th. He hasn't been convicted but we saw several...

  25. Vindictive Leadership

    Trump seems to have essentially annexed Venezuela, although we recorded this before that happened. Tune in next week to see what we have to say about that. In this episode we talk about the made up scandals republican influencers make up to take up air time from the very real scandals and crimes...

  26. Rich White Men Are The Worst

    The newest releases of the Epstein files are extremely disturbing. Although nothing in them is confirmed fact, knowing how terrible rich white men are, they are believable. The no wars president bombed Nigeria on Christmas day, just like Jesus would do. Our closest ally is preparing to fight a…

    more
  27. We Got Some Epstein Files

    Pam Bondi appears to have not followed the Epstein Transparency Act by releasing heavily redacted files and definitely not all of them.

  32. One Side Capitulates the Other Defends Heinous Crimes
