Episodes
Stern and Satellite Radio, AI Threats, Texas Maps, and Biden’s 93 Billion-Dollar Fraud
In this episode, we dig into what Howard Stern’s cancellation signals about the Trump culture shift and the broader decline of satellite radio. We explore how AI is reshaping industries—spotlighted by a chilling, AI-linked threat sent to the Agrippa CEO in Las Vegas. We break down Texas redistricting, putting it in historical context with how Demo...
Micah Talks, NPR Walks, and the Economy Pops
We kick things off with Micah Parsons making headlines again— this time off the field. Then, we get into why the winding down of PBS and NPR might actually be a win for the taxpayer. Kamala Harris drops a new book titled "107 Days" and we’re asking what message the former VP is trying to send. And finally, the economy posts some eye-popping GDP numbers—how did we get here and w...
We open with sports and our excitement for the NFL preseason start this Thursday. Then we pivot to a strange week of celebrity deaths (three in one week? Someone check on Keith Richards). After that, Tulsi Gabbard shows up swinging—referring Barack Obama and top leadership to the DOJ for criminal investigation. And Bernie takes a break from his tax the rich tour to introduce a bill to give teachers a $60k minimum salary.
All that pl...
This episode was supposed to be organized, but like the WNBA’s All-Star Game format or the Astronomer CEO’s personal decisions, it all fell apart. So… no timestamps. You’re on your own.
We bounce around from Shane Gillis’ ESPYs monologue to Obama’s hot takes on raising boys, to Trump cracking down on NIL deals, to whether anyone in their right mind would go to $1 day at the Dallas Zoo. Also: an HR scandal caught on kiss cam, Texas s...
Episode 33 – Floods, Fallout, and Foreign Firepower
In this episode of The Cigar Politico, we continue to discuss the devastating floods in Kerrville, Texas, and the state’s emergency response. Then we take aim at the latest controversy over the never-materialized Epstein list—and the political theater surrounding it. With Texas Governor Abbott calling a special session, we unpack what’s on the docket and why it matters. Finally, we...
After a month off the mics, The Cigar Politico is back with a longer episode to catch up on everything we missed—and everything you need to know. We open with stories from our time away before turning to the tragic floods in the Texas Hill Country and what they reveal about preparedness, policy, and community. Then we break down the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and what it means for tax policy and new rules for government safety ne...
Power, Provocation, and Policy:
In this episode of The Cigar Politico, Kyle and Clint fire up a bold conversation on Trump’s call for a grand military parade and his escalating verbal brawl with Elon Musk. We dissect the latest moves in the Ukraine conflict, then unpack the heated trade tariff hearings and what they signal for America’s economic posture. From bravado to battlefield, we break down the smoke and mirrors behind the hea...
Putin’s Crazy, Phones Are Banned, and the Third-Rail of Politics
In this episode of The Cigar Politico, Kyle and Clint light up and dig into the week’s hot-button issues—from Trump’s blunt take on Putin to the growing trend of multi-generational living in America. Should schools ban cell phones completely? Is entitlement reform finally on the table? And what does the latest in Russia-Ukraine mean for 2025 and beyond? Cut a cigar, an...
Episode 029 – “Unfiltered: Biden, Borders, and Battle Lines”
May 19, 2025

First, we unpack the bombshell news of President Biden’s newly revealed cancer diagnosis— the 2024 election political fallout, the already volatile race for the future of American leadership, and how does this sca...
