Co-hosts Jared Yate Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the very real investigation into President Biden's discovery that he, in fact, had kept a few top secret docs laying around in his garage, among other places. There is a very real possibility that this could begin the process of derailing a 2024 re-election campaign. They also wonder if there can be some bipartisan governing over Big Tech and the protection of private data, before ending on the War On Gas Stoves.

Brazil Gets Their Own January 6th Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the coup attempt in Brazil, where thousands of protesters attacked major government buildings. They then move to Ron DeSantis's attempts to control the curriculum of colleges in the state of Florida, before finishing with the many concessions that Kevin McCarthy was forced to give up including the right of any congressperson to move to have McCarthy withdrawn as a speaker.

It's hard to fathom that we're on the 12th ballot to decide who will be the Speaker of the House, but here we are. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the embarrassment of a party the GOP is, and what it is they think they're fighting for with this vote. They also discuss the near tragedy on the football field involving Damar Hamlin and how the NFL wanted to continue playing despite the players' protest.

Kevin McCarthy: Weaker Of The House Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down all the components to why there is a small, but powerful, backlash against Kevin McCarthy's ascendancy to Speaker of the House. They also discuss Biden's job effectiveness thus far, before connecting some dots between disgraced former president of Brasil Jair Bolsanaro, exiled in Florida at the moment, and Donald Trump.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman try to get to the bottom of the George Santos scandal in which he's lied about everything in his past. They then shift their attention to Ron DeSantis in Florida as he's trying to build an Anti-Woke Coalition, before discussing the travesty that is Southwest Airlines.

Immigrants To VP's House, NY Mayor's Tech Fetish, and The Twitter Files! Dec 27, 2022

Show notes

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauseman cannot believe they have to discuss another busload of immigrants being shipped off to D.C. under inhumane conditions, but here we are. The Democrats dip their toes in shoring up voting rights, while New York mayor Eric Adams clearly hasn't watched Minority Report, as he advocates for a sci-fi security state to somehow stop a crime wave that isn't really waving. They wrap up discussing the main take aways from the breathless threading of the Twitter Files.

Zelenskyy Reminds Us That Global Security Is At Risk Dec 23, 2022

Show notes

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the war in Ukraine and how a surprise visit by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to speak in front of Congress reminded us all of what's at stake. The GOP response was as predictable as the reaction to the release of Donald Trump's taxes, as was the complete failure by New York Democrats to expose the lies of congressman elect George Santos.

Jan 6th Committee: Trump Is A Criminal Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the criminal referrals sent over to the Department of Justice for former president Donald J. Trump's actions in and around the events of the January 6th insurrection at the capital. This leads directly into analysis of the trial of Proud Boys involved on January 6th before breaking down the pending case Moore vs Harper and whether it could legitimize a corrupt political party's attempt at a coup.

Show notes

Nick Hauselman is out but Jared Yates Sexton is back to hold down the fort and talk about the GOP's abandonment of Donald Trump, the 45th president's embarrassing NFTs, the possibly world-changing innovation of nuclear fusion and its impediments, and finally a dive into The New York Time's awful coverage of Sam Bankman-Fried's clothing.

Republicans Can't Figure Out What Went Wrong Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

While co-host Jared Yates Sexton was unavailable for today's episode, Nick Hauselman welcomes on the show Jason Niedelman, who teaches Political Theory at the University of LaVerne, to talk about the surprisingly large turnout by Republican voters despite underperforming in so many races. This leads to discussing Kristen Sinema's move toward Independent status, and what this means for the political landscape going forward.
