Never Apologize, Never Accept Responsibility, Attack, Lie. Republicans Have Learned From Trump (w/ Julie Roginsky)

October 22, 2026 • 27 mins
Vivek Ramaswamy put out a horrible, despicable, reprehensible ad against his opponent. And instead of apologizing for it, he’s doubled down, he’s tripled down. And JD Vance lectured Republicans to stop whining about the ad. They’ve all learned from Trump. Never admit a fuck up. Attack, lie, attack, lie. It’s worked for Trump. Republicans think it will work for them.

Why Is The Media Afraid To Say Trump Is Losing His Mind?

October 21, 2026 • 38 mins
Every day that goes by, the evidence mounts that Donald Trump is rapidly losing his mind. And yet, the media, that daily asked questions of Biden’s mental agility, ignores Trump’s senility. Also, latest on the midterms and what MAGA will do after a blue tsunami. A conversation.

Gen Z and The Midterms. A Conversation

October 20, 2026 • 31 mins
I sat down with the Gen Z whisperer Rachel Janfaza, to discuss the attitudes of young people heading into these midterms. Are they going to vote? What do they care about? And, do I sound like an old fart when I say that Gen Z whines too much?

I wish We Had An American President. We Don’t

October 19, 2026 • 26 mins
Everything Trump has done this past week has been EXACTLY what Putin wants him to do. I mean everything. And now we find out that Putin wants a meeting between him, Trump, and China’s Xi to discuss his war against Ukraine. An American President would tell Putin to fuck off. But Trump will do whatever Putin tells him to do.

Will Voters Care About Trump’s Latest Act Of Betrayal?

October 16, 2026 • 45 mins
Trump again reminded everyone this past week that he is clearly on Putin’s side in Putin’s war against Ukraine. Trump reminded everyone again this week that he opposes Ukraine. Despicable, traitorous, yes. But will it matter to voters? I sat down with my pal, Democratic strategist, Cliff Schecter, to discuss.

Make It Simple. On Nov 3rd, Just Vote Against The Assholes

October 15, 2026 • 30 mins
A woman at a Trump rally wearing a “release the Epstein files” t shirt is punched and beaten up by a bunch of men. The head of the FBI goes to Russia and tells the world how much he loves Russia. And Republican candidates up and down the ballot keep lying and blaming Biden for the economic mess. They’re all assholes. How about you just vote against the assholes this November?

We’re Paying A Huge Price Because We’re Afraid To Call Trump What He Truly Is

October 14, 2026 • 32 mins
The media in this country goes out of their way to normalize him. They always have. And way too many Americans do the same. And way too many of our allies around the world have done the same. Because they’re all afraid. They’re all afraid to say the unthinkable about Donald Trump. And because they’ve been afraid, he’s gotten away with doing the unthinkable.

ICE Cannot Be Fixed. It Can’t. It Must Be Abolished. We Must Start Over

October 13, 2026 • 33 mins
It is a government agency that cannot be fixed, and cannot be reformed. The rot runs too deep. They’ve hired too many agents who simply cannot be changed. They’ve developed a mindset immune from softening. The only solution to immigration enforcement is to start over. Abolish whatever ICE is and start over.

What Does Fascism Look Like? This Is What Fascism Looks Like

October 12, 2026 • 29 mins
Federal agents raided MN Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s DC house earlier this morning, per the direction of the Department of Homeland Security. 22 days before the election. Why? No one knows what. The Justice Department signed off on it, but as we all know, the Justice Department is no longer an independent agency. This is Trump demanding the feds go after one of his political opponents. That’s fascism.

He’s Planning Bad Shit On Election Day. Assume He’ll DO The Bad Shit

October 7, 2026 • 37 mins
We just found out that for the first time in over two decades, the United States won’t allow international observers to come watch our elections process. The Trump administration is not allowing it this year. Why? What are they planning? What don’t they want the world to see? Assume the worst.

Yes, Trump’s Brain Is Pudding, But He’s Also A Sociopath

October 6, 2026 • 30 mins
Did Trump just misspeak last night when he told Iran to go ahead and blow up Los Angeles and San Diego? No. He’s the most divisive president this country has ever had. And even though he’s rapidly losing his mind, he’d burn this entire country down if it would benefit him. Trump gets no benefit of the doubt. Never.

If It’s Possible, Trump Is Getting Worse Every Single Day

October 5, 2026 • 30 mins
He was in Ohio over the weekend, bribed voters with money if they voted Republican, threatened not to help people if they didn’t vote Republican. He’s attacking our elections most viciously every day. He’s getting nastier with his personal insults every single day. 30 days to go until the midterms.

Vote Against Cruelty In November

October 1, 2026 • 29 mins
58 people have died in ICE custody so far. Or at least, those are the 58 deaths we’re aware of. Probably more. And this administration’s answer to that number is - “this ain’t the Holiday Inn.” They don’t care and they’re purposely displaying cruelty. Because cruelty has always been the point.

Yesterday Was A Reminder That A Criminal/Traitor Is In The White House

September 30, 2026 • 42 mins
Yesterday, I was down. Jack Smith’s haunting words that the president of the United States refused to accept an election loss and committed crimes trying to overturn an election just took me back to how wrong this country is that we never held him accountable for his crimes. I don’t know that we’ll ever recover from that.
