Gaslit Nation

Latest Episodes:

Jared Kushner is a National Emergency Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

On the first Gaslit Nation recorded from self-quarantine from a pandemic, we discuss the terrible political, psychological, and economic toll of the coronavirus. The pandemic has exposed our nation's hypocrisies and flaws, including income inequality and corruption. The coronavirus catastrophe is currently being overseen by a group of kleptocratic lackeys like Pence, Mnuchin, Miller, and, of course, Jared Kushner.

Human Farm Mar 11, 2020

Show notes

It's the end of the world as we know it, and we're feeling…not particularly great about that! In this special pre-quarantine Gaslit Nation, we discuss the coronavirus and its potential to revolutionize the world. This is a terrifying time in human history, and every country's flaws and vulnerabilities are being exposed. This is a time when we need to pull together, and help each other with the determination and compassion that so many doctors and medics and others have shown in the afflicted nations.

Gaslit Nation Coronavirus Special! Mar 04, 2020

Show notes

We at Gaslit Nation have spent years covering fascism, transnational crime, white supremacist violence, climate change disasters, genocide, and the threat of WWIII, but apparently the universe thought this wasn't depressing enough, so now we have a plague! We discuss the coronavirus crisis, the terrible response of the Trump administration, the way the virus may be weaponized politically, and what you can do to protect yourself and those around you.

How to Trump and Putin-Proof Our Democracy Feb 26, 2020

Show notes

This week we give the authoritarianism weather report – packed courts, purged agencies, and a pandemic running rampant as the Trump administration lies – and then examine a potential solution: Elizabeth Warren's binder full of plans! We run through her proposals on information warfare, violent white supremacy, transnational crime, election integrity, and more! We argue that regardless of who wins the nomination, they should consult Warren's plans as a roadmap out of this hellhole.

Impeach Barr Feb 19, 2020

Show notes

Hey you guys, did you hear – we're living in a burgeoning authoritarian state! Much like we have been for the last four years! This week we discuss the delayed revelations of the punditry, what's behind their unwillingness to state the obvious for so long, and ponder how long their clarity will last until collective amnesia kicks in again. More ominously, we examine the continued annihilation of the court system under Trump's Roy Cohn reincarnation, Bill Barr.

This is How We Win Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

We interview Steve Pierson and Mariah Craven of the progressive activist group Swing Left and hosts of the grassroots power podcast How We Win, about how Dems can prepare for 2020 – and win with Swing Left's Super State Strategy. We discuss whether the Dems can take the House and the Senate, how best to beat Trump, and how to bridge divides within the Democratic party. We also break down the obstacles beyond Trump – voter suppression, gerrymandering, and an obstructionist GOP that may simply not concede.

Russian Propaganda as Judge and Jury Feb 05, 2020

Show notes

In a week when the GOP Senate will likely take their criminal president and crown him criminal king, we look at the big picture – treason, disinformation, and how to resist. Much like the Senate trial itself, our conversation centers on Ukraine. This week Andrea interviews Ukrainian journalist Olga Tokariuk about how disinformation makes its way from the Kremlin into western media and even into western courts, as demonstrated by a recent court case in Italy in which online Kremlin propaganda formed much of the "evidence". This situation can happen anywhere, including here in the United States. Andrea and Olga also discuss censorship, state violence, and the difficulties in being a journalist in an era where multiple regimes seek to annihilate the very concept of truth.

"Voldemort Putin" Jan 29, 2020

Show notes

We discuss key figures in the impeachment process – including Adam Schiff, John Roberts, and John Bolton – and what they're trying to accomplish and how. In the first social media impeachment, their words are parsed and received, leading, in one case, to "Voldemort Putin" trending on Twitter. We also discuss how the destruction of the judiciary over the course of the Trump administration impacts the proceedings, and we touch on the Supreme Court and their recent horrendous anti-immigrant ruling.

The Republican Party is on Trial Jan 22, 2020

Show notes

This week Gaslit Nation gives in-depth context to the ongoing shitshow of the Senate impeachment hearings. We discuss what's behind the media blitz of Giuliani goon Lev Parnas and the incriminating texts indicating the Trump crew was planning an attack on former US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. We then analyze the GOP for what it is – an appendage of a transnational crime syndicate – and detail the institutional failures that allowed it to get there.

Dynasty Alert! Jan 15, 2020

Show notes

This week Gaslit Nation takes a look at two dynasties – the Trump Crime Family's attempt to build a dynastic kleptocracy in the White House, and Meghan and Harry's flight to Canadian freedom. Yes, like a dystopian US Weekly, Gaslit Nation takes on Megxit (we're in favor!) and the issues surrounding it: racism and colonialism, the mendacity of the UK tabloid press, Prince Andrew the Pedophile, and the decades-long connections of the royal family to the transnational crime syndicate propping up Trump.
