The Concrete Manifestations of His Fascism Must Come Down

September 4, 2026 • 26 mins
The ballroom is a concrete manifestation of his fascism, of his lawlessness, of his “I can do whatever I want and get away with it” mentality. To allow it to stand is to allow a concrete monument to fascism to stand. It must come down. Same goes for his monstrous “triumphal arch.” It must come down as well.

Pete Hegseth Is An In Over His Head Fucking Coward

September 3, 2026 • 35 mins
Just like Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth isn’t a real man. A real man doesn’t punch down. A real man isn’t a bully. A real man doesn’t lie and doesn’t cheat. We have a coward as Secretary of Defense, and that’s a really bad, really dangerous thing because many of our best brains have left the Pentagon, we’re running out of munitions, and we’re not prepared for modern warfare. All because ...

The Midterms: Where Are We REALLY At

September 2, 2026 • 49 mins
I sat down with long time political consultant and strategist Mike Madrid, one of the smartest political brains I know, to get a feel for what’s really likely to happen in November, how big of a blue tsunami could this really be. Really interesting conversation.

Trump Is Trying To Disenfranchise You. What Are You Prepared To Do?

September 1, 2026 • 38 mins
A USPS whistleblower described what the agency is doing trying to implement Trump’s illegal executive order limiting mail in voting as a “shit show” that could put the votes of millions of Americans at risk. And even though a U.S. district judge told the USPS two weeks ago to stop what they’re doing, they haven’t stopped. This is all just one way Trump is trying to fuck with the midterms.

When We Normalize Trump, He Wins. So Don’t Normalize Him

August 31, 2026 • 31 mins
This weekend, a journalist said something Trump didn’t like. So Trump ordered the government to punish her. Trump also saw polls he didn’t like, so he ordered his government to go after the pollsters. This is the kind of thing dictators do, it’s the kind of thing fascists do. It’s not the kind of thing that should happen in America. We must not let it.

Blue No Matter Who? Red No Matter What?

August 28, 2026 • 46 mins
This week, my weekly tequila talk with Cliff Schecter addressed the issue of people voting for candidates on their side no matter how flawed they think those candidates might be. Should voters have a red line when it comes to voting for candidates or not? Their side winning is more important than who the candidate is? Good conversation.

Take It From A Former Right Wing Warrior: Democrats Need Leaders Who Understand We’re At War

August 27, 2026 • 60 mins
I sat down with Eli Goldstein and gave him my take, as a former MAGA gangbanger, on what the Democratic Party needs to understand and needs to do. First and foremost I said, Democrats need to understand that my former political party is at war trying to dismantle this democracy. Democrats need to be at war defending this democracy.

A Libertarian And A Socialist Walk Into A Bar. Part 12

August 26, 2026 • 23 mins
This week, my young socialist friend and I discussed the Republican Party, how and why Republicans always seem to fall in line behind Trump, the growth of MAGA beyond Trump and the implications of all of this for the entire country. Interesting conversation.

After Yesterday’s SCOTUS Ruling, Prepare For The Absolute Worst

August 25, 2026 • 29 mins
I know, I know, wiser heads are saying this was just a procedural ruling, that the Supreme Court yesterday lifting a lower court’s injunction halting Trump’s effort to limit mail in voting was just procedural, yada, yada, yada. All I know is this: Trump is in Al all out war against our elections, and the Supreme Court just moved him one step closer to victory.

Hakeem Jeffries, Like Chuck Schumer, Is Not Capable Of Meeting This Moment

August 24, 2026 • 29 mins
Hakeem Jeffries met privately with Jared Kushner in recent weeks. Incredible. Kushner should be under oath in front of a congressional committee. The fact that Jeffries met with him confirms that Jeffries doesn’t understand this moment and cannot meet this moment. And if he’s the next Speaker, that’s not a good thing for the Democratic Party or the country.

Putin, NATO, Trump. Some Potential Frightening Developments

August 21, 2026 • 37 mins
For Tequila Talk this week, Cliff Schecter and I sat down with Julie Roginsky, long time Democratic consultant and cofounder of @MaydayNetwork and cofounder of @LiftOurVoicesUS, to discuss recent NATO moves to combat a potential Russian attack on a NATO country. And how it’s always been so obvious that Trump is a Russian asset. Really, really concerning stuff.

To Win Democrats, Ignore Axelrod & All The Other Old Democratic Talking Heads

August 20, 2026 • 34 mins
In this age of Trump, Democrats need to fight and meet this moment. Trump is, quite literally, everything our Founders feared. That means Democrats need to do things they’ve never done before. This is an unprecedented moment in American history. And all the old Democratic talking heads like Axelrod don’t understand this. So ignore them.

A Libertarian and a Socialist Walk Into A Bar, Part 11

August 19, 2026 • 32 mins
My weekly sit down with my younger, Socialist friend Xander Schultz. We focused solely on Trump’s attempt to fuck with, destroy the legitimacy of, disrupt, cheat at, and maybe even cancel the midterms this November. There’s no bigger issue Americans face right now than defending these midterm elections from the enemy in the White House

The White House Press Corps Today Is A Bunch Of Cowards

August 18, 2026 • 34 mins
The coward and misogynist in the White House did it again yesterday. He personally attacked a female reporter. In ugly, cruel terms. And once again, not one member of the White House press corps said anything in her defense. Not one. Not one stood up for their female colleague. It’s bad enough that these reporters have normalized Trump, they’ve also allowed him to repeatedly attack female reporters. Shame on them.

The Only Word to Describe This Is Evil. Evil

August 17, 2026 • 31 mins
The Trump administration is waiting for immigrants to apply for legal benefits to stay in this country legally, they then won’t process the applications and will allow the applications to expire, then they’ll arrest these immigrants and throw them into jail. They’re encouraging immigrants to do the right thing, then they ignore what the immigrants did and arrest them. That’s evil.

My weekly sit down with long time Chicago Democrat Edwin Eisendrath, we covered the primary results in Michigan and Wisconsin, the state of the DSA, and the deplorable conditions are sailors are enduring in Trump’s stupid, illegal war. As usual, Edwin is more optimistic about things than me. Interesting chat.

Why Might America Be Cooked? Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz Is Why America Might Be Cooked

August 13, 2026 • 34 mins
A sitting United States senator went on his podcast yesterday and knowingly spread a malicious, dangerous lie. Knowingly. Our Republic is in deep trouble because way too many Americans are increasingly untethered to truth, untethered to the facts. And when we have our political leaders wantonly spreading disinformation, then maybe we’re done.

She’s a green card holder, has lived in California for yrs, she’s a teacher, with no criminal record, who’s done everything right per our fucked up immigration laws, but for the past five months, she, and her husband and her high school aged son have been locked up in horrible conditions in an ICE detention facility in Texas. I don’t know how we’ll ever recover from Trump’s crimes.

    Love Trapped

    Love Trapped

    Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026. If you would like to reach out to the Love Trapped team, email us at lovetrappedpod@gmail.com and follow along on Instagram @glasspodcasts.
