Trucker Carlson

We also talk about Jimmy Carter saying Trump didn't win the 2016 election, the Supreme Court's gerrymandering decision, and the latest example of GOP Covid disinformation (and what lessons it can teach us).

Joe Rogan apologizes, then does it again

2/2/2022
In today's show, we dig into Susan Collins', and the Republicans' overall, disappointment with Joe Biden for daring to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. You see, he's apparently dividing the country by not being racist.

Chuck "I fought in the Civil War" Grassley agreeing that the insurrectionists are "political prisoners," Meghan McCain being a moron, and BMW and other brands continuing to buy ads on Tucker Carlson's anti-semitic, homophobic, and Covid-denying show on Fox News.

Fauci destroys Rand Paul

1/11/2022
We start today's show with some excellent audio of Dr. Fauci destroying GOP Sen. Rand Paul this morning during a Senate hearing. Then we get into a larger discussion with our friend Tom Watson, who has started a new PAC -- No Surrender NY -- to take on the GOP members of Congress from New York who supported overturning the election. We also discuss a GOP state rep. who thinks that Nazism should be taught "impartially."

Biden blasts Trump on Insurrection Anniversary

1/7/2022
President Biden made Donald Trump the centerpiece of his speech to the nation on the anniversary of the January 6th Insurrection, making clear that Trump was responsible for the violent attempt to overthrow our government, and also that Biden was rededicating his presidency, at least in part, towards defending American democracy and the threat it faces from Trump and the Republican party that is in his thrall.

Milquetoast Garland and the one-year anniversary of the Insurrection

1/5/2022
This week is the one-year anniversary of the January 6 Insurrection, when Trump supporters tried to violently overthrow our government. As Attorney General Merrick Garland prepares to speak this afternoon about lord knows what -- we aren't terribly hopeful -- Cliff and I discuss why Garland and the Dept of Justice appear to have totally dropped the ball on investigating the actual coup itself, and the people who planned it, executed it, aided and abetted it. In other words, the leaders, not just the worker bees. To hear our shows ad-free, and support our work, please consider becoming a patron over at Patreon, thanks.

This is a Republican pandemic now

12/31/2021
On today's show, we discuss the latest weirdness from Republicans, in which Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, led by Jim Jordan, are telling people that the Covid booster doesn't even work. The GOP is actively trying to kill its own base. Cliff has a theory why. To hear our shows ad-free, and support our work, please consider becoming a patron over at Patreon, thanks.

Madison Cawthorn's bizarre story of how he met his wife

12/28/2021
On today's show, we start with a discussion of GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn's bizarre origin story of how he met his wife, who he's now divorcing after only eight months. It involves a Russian casino that may not have existed. The story is just beyond strange. And then we get into a chat about the latest on Covid denialism from the GOP, and why Democrats continue to be so bad at messaging.

Manchin kills Build Back Better

12/20/2021
On today's show, we actually discuss a number of topics, but focus primarily on Joe Manchin killing Biden's signature legislation, the Build Back Better bill. Now, it's possible that parts of the proposal can be saved, but that all depends on whether Manchin's goal is anything other than burning the entire house down. That's our big topic today.
