Trump, Republicans, & Their Media Cheerleaders Are Covering Up For Powerful Men Who Raped Underage Girls

September 4, 2025 • 39 mins
There’s really no other way to explain it. Trump, Republicans and their media cheerleaders promised for years that the Epstein files were the mother of all deep state scandals. But now? Never mind, it’s just a hoax, they say. They’re covering up for men who raped underage girls. No other explanation makes sense.

Trump Is Turning America Into A Cruel, Dark Place

September 3, 2025 • 29 mins
She came to America from Guatemala with her mom when she was 8yrs old. To flee gang violence. For the past 9yrs, she excelled in school in Los Angeles becoming an honors student and a top athlete. Two months ago, masked agents kidnapped her and sent her back to Guatemala. This is Trump’s America. It must not be ours.

Public Corruption Like We’ve Never Ever Seen Before. Right In Our Faces

September 2, 2025 • 36 mins
Trump & his family just enriched themselves to the tune of $5 billion on their Crypto scam. And they’re publicly bragging out it. And that’s just part of how Donald Trump is using his public office to enrich himself personally. On a scale we’ve never seen. Will the American people care?

Today’s Show Is A Show That, Sadly, Will Piss Most Everyone Off

August 28, 2025 • 45 mins
Another school shooting. More American children gunned down. And neither side, neither the left nor the right, no matter how well intentioned many of them are, are prepared to deal with the hard truths we must deal with if we want to actually try to stop these mass shootings in America from happening.

A Conversation About Christian Nationalism, A Much Bigger Threat To America Than You Know

August 27, 2025 • 47 mins
Christian nationalism is an utterly un-American theology, but it’s alive and well in America, and it has a profound impact on our politics and way of life. I sat down with Tim Whitaker, founder of the New Evangelicals, and who’s made it his mission to expose Christian nationalism, to discuss what it is and why it’s so antithetical to America.

What Resistance Looks Like

August 26, 2025 • 32 mins
Trump announced yesterday he’s firing a member of the Fed’s board of governors. Only one problem: He doesn’t have the AUTHORITY to fire her, and she came out last night and said she ain’t going anywhere. That’s resistance. Also…the messaging of my new political party still sucks too damn much.

Using The Powers Of His Office To Threaten People. Do Not Normalize This

August 25, 2025 • 36 mins
Trump over the weekend demanded that Chris Christie be investigated, NBC & ABC have their licenses revoked, and the Governor of Maryland loses federal funding for a bridge disaster. Why? Because Trump said they were all mean to him. It’s not funny. It’s scary. And so a wrong. And we must no normalize this behavior.

Donald Trump Is A Fascist. And He’ll Remain One Until The American People Stop Him

August 23, 2025 • 35 mins
He’s going after his political enemies, he’s shutting down dissent, he’s going after minorities, he’s taking over the private sector, and he’s suppressing his opposition. He’s a fascist.

Trump Is The Ugly American. The Fearful American

August 20, 2025 • 32 mins
Fascists and authoritarians destroy the truth and erase history. Because fascists and authoritarians are afraid of truth and history. Trump wants to erase slavery from American history. Also, the White House launched a TikTok account - continuing his middle finger to the rule of law. But he knows Congress won’t do a damn thing about it.

Please Understand What Happened Yesterday

August 19, 2025 • 30 mins
I get that most Americans don’t pay real attention to the news every day, but what happened yesterday at the White House was utterly frightening. And most Americans don’t understand this. The most important European leaders changed their plans at the last minute to come to DC to hold the toddler’s hand so he wouldn’t make a big mess.

You STILL Don’t Get It? Trump Stands With Putin, Trump Stands Against The Free World. Now You Get It

August 18, 2025 • 31 mins
So many people STILL don’t understand Trump’s behavior on the war in Ukraine. So many people STILL thinking that Trump keeps getting played by Putin. No. Trump is not being played by Putin. Trump is doing exactly what he wants because Trump works for Putin, Trump is on Putin’s side. Once you accept that scary truth, everything that’s happening now makes sense.

August 15, 2025 • 35 mins
This must never happen here. Not here. Not in America. The military is not used here against our own citizens. That happens in authoritarian countries. Not here. Trump wants it to happen here. We must not normalize it. We must never accept it. Plus, my conversation with Gen Z-er Rachel Janfaza

It’s Trench Warfare To Preserve Truth. You in?

August 13, 2025 • 33 mins
Trump’s greatest legacy is the destruction of truth. Always has been. And we’re seeing it play out every day - lying about election results, jobs numbers, his approval rating, crime statistics, and now he’s moving to lie about American history. We can’t give up. We have to engage in hand to hand combat to defend the truth. We can’t give up.

We’re ALL Going To Have To Say No To The Tyrant

August 12, 2025 • 34 mins
BTW, the actual data, you remember what data is, right? The actual data shows DC isn’t even in the top 20 of most violent cities in America. Also, it’s time for the military, law enforcement, and government officials to say no to Trump. Their duty is to defend the Constitution, the law, not a mad king. We all are going to have to say no.

Call Out Every Act Of Fascism, But Stay Patient, Stay The Course

August 11, 2025 • 31 mins
It’s easy, so easy, to get down. Because every day he says and does 1,000 cruel, un-American fascist things. Like today. Threatening to take over DC. But don’t get down. Resolutely call out what he’s doing today, and then stay the course. Be a happy warrior. Pace yourself. Democracy will win. Fascism will lose.

Once Again America, Choose: Trump Or The Constitution. You Can’t Choose Both

August 8, 2025 • 36 mins
It’s been true from when he was first elected that Americans cannot support both Trump AND the Constitution. It’s impossible. Because Trump is utterly lawless and attacks the Constitution every single day. His attack on the census and the apportionment process is just the latest example of this basic truism that you can’t support both Trump AND the Constitution.

I sat down with human rights lawyer Qasim Rashid. We generally agree on what ails the Democratic Party, we disagree on some economic issues, and we most definitely disagree on the Israel/Palestinian issue. But we sat down and had a respectful conversation. Good stuff.
