Happy Hour with Congresswoman Delia Ramirez Sep 20, 2023

Show notes

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael and Anna welcome Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, Democratic Representative from Illinois.

The conversation centers on the hot-button issue of immigration and rightfully so! Delia is a first generation American--her mother crossed the boarder from Guatemala while she was pregnant with Delia--and if that didn't give Delia enough street cred, her husband is a DACA recipient.

Join us for one of our more personal conversations with one of our newest young policy makers in Washington!

Boebert Gets The Broadway Boot Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

The podcast bros are back bro-ing it out with bro-tinis! With Anna off on assignment, Michael and Anthony cover a laundry list of topics (that Anna made for us) including the new Impeachment Inquiry, Mitt Romney calling himself and others OLD, the expiring student meal program that doesn't have Republican support, the immigration crisis hitting our cities, and of course, Ms. Lauren Boebert's date night fail.

The Centennial Babey ! Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

Oh Baby, look out--we're 100 !!!! That's right folks, Political Playlist Happy Hour has just notched one hundred happy hours, plus the wisdom and hangovers to prove it!

On this celebratory episode, Michael, Anna and Anthony do a deeper dive into the crazy Kamala Senate Move Theory that made them (finally) go viral last episode.

They then dive into legislation to BAN Mask Mandates (with JD Vance and Josh Hawley), why negotiating drug prices is bad (do explain, Dan Crenshaw) and why Dan Goldman and Json Crow are desperately trying to remind us we have to do more on gun control.

It's action packed, so if you're a regular, pull up a stool, and if you're new, welcome to the Happy Hour! This is Political Playlist.

Debate This! Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

On this episode of Political Playlist Happy Hour, the Gang couldn't resist wading into debate waters with the upcoming GOP Presidential debate happening this week, and wouldn't you know that the only one of these candidates who'd make the cut on our platform is the shirtless, tennis playin', Eminem-lovin' far right youngin' named Vivek.

We then segue, beautifully done by Michael, we might add (he wrote this...) into issues surrounding China and the threat alarms Mike Gallagher is raising. Then we go our old favorite (GENUINE) do-gooder Andy Kim who's helping ensure kids have meals while school is on summer break, and lastly we introduce our listeners to freshman Republican Congressman Cory Mills of Florida.

It's a jam packed episode so tune in and share with your friends!

Political Penalty Kicks Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

The Political Playlist Triumvirate (that means three, Anthony) is back together again as they kick things off with the penalty shot heard round the world... that is, the missed soccer penalty kick from US women's star Megan Rapinoe that quickly became a right wing political football--okay we'll stop.

On this happy hour, the gang also discusses the one year anniversary of the PACT Act, which increased benefits to Veterans affected by burn pits, as well as some moderate environmental legislation up in Washington State, and finally, a shoutout to one of the best social media games among our Young Congress.

Aging and Melting Aug 02, 2023

She's Alien Barbie Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

Barbies and aliens? What more could you ask for in an episode of your favorite political podcast? Anna and Anthony fly solo this week without Michael's smooth hosting voice but manage to cover not just the lady in pink and potential otherworldly friends but also the incredibly important National Defense Authorization Act, which, for the first time in 60 years, might not pass on a bipartisan basis. All to be expected in the chaos we live in - but that's why we're here, to break it down and discuss the young politicians involved in the hottest congressional issues!

Happy Hour with Congressman Morgan McGarvey Jul 17, 2023

Show notes

This is an episode you do not want to miss! Michael and Anna welcome none other than Democratic Congressman Morgan McGarvey of Kentucky to the show. He is the co-chair of the House Bourbon Caucus (yes that's real!) so you better believe we're drinking Maker's Mark in his honor-- and yes we do so at the 10:30AM time of record! Hey, we're dedicated.

But don't let that fool you, the issues we cover couldn't be more important, ranging from sensible gun safety to helping provide free meals in schools to kids in need.

So pull up a glass and hear for yourself why we were so taken by this Congressman's genuine southern charm and clear-eyed thinking towards reaching sensible policy solutions that actually help Americans.
