    Episode 011 - On Some Basement Dweller's Hard Drive

    Happy Thanksgiving, from all of us at the Politics: Reloaded Podcast! Hopefully you and yours have enjoyed the traditionally American-sized turkey dinner, and are just now awakening from your tryptophan-induced comas, prepared to repent at the New Year for all of your caloric sins. The gang returned a while ago and did an entire Charlie Kirk-themed show…but you’ll find out why it never made it to air in today’s episode. And while the holidays are always hectic, We can say with reasonable confidence that there will be at least a couple of episodes over the month of December. Topics for the roundtable include: * A Real Kick in the Ballroom - Trump is building a ballroom…with his own money. And everyone wants to know…who cares? * Kirk Out - A brief redux of our collective thoughts about the Charlie Kirk assassination, and the potential new American Great Awakening it may have spawned. * Shameless Capitalism - We plug my new book…again! Christmas is coming up, so get your copies today (link below)! Also, the audiobook version is coming mid-December. So if you’re not a physical book, kind of person, you’ll be able to get that soon (but still buy physical copies for all those nerds you love…it’ll be a great Christmas present)!

    Episode 010 - Return of the King(s of Podcasting)

    Did you miss us? We missed you - with everything we threw…we need practice. After a few weeks of unannounced hiatus (all explained in the show intro, I promise), the gang has returned for more adventures. Also, don’t forget to check out the bonus episode - we get my mom a birthday present! Topics for the roundtable include: * Gary and the Manderings - Texas Republicans are redistricting, and the Democrats are hopping mad…in fact, some of them hopped right out of the state…(also, Josh gets schooled on how to pronounce “gerrymandering”) * The North-Bound End of a South-Bound Mule - Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has had a lot of less-than-pleasant things to say about Secretary of State Chuck Gray lately. What do we need to do to bring a certain amount of professionalism and decency back to politics? (And should we start with our Commander in Chief?)\ If you’d like to pre-order a Kindle copy of Josh Jennings’ new book - ‘Space Tractor’ - you can click the link below.

    Episode 009 - Commies and Constitutions

    This week, the gang gets together to discuss their Fourth of July experiences. It’s a little bit of a different show, as there’s really only one topic: Freedom.

Special thanks to New York City Mayoral candidate Zorhan Mamdani, for inspiring the opening monologue! This is a public episode.

    Episode 008 - Until There's No Nuke Program

    This week, our fearless foursome teams up once again to solve all the world’s problems. Namely, those in the country of Iran and the state of Wyoming. It’s a big ol’ episode, with two big ol’ topics instead of four this episode. Don’t worry, they make two topics *feel* like four. We’d like to thank you for listening - this show is growing day by day, and we’re hearing very good things from people who love it. If you’re listening, please like, subscribe and share the show in every way you can! Topics for the roundtable include: * Bomb Bomb Bomb…Bomb Bomb Iran - Will the United States’ involvement with the Israeli attack on Iran be effective in the long run, and should we be involved in any regime change efforts? * Doo Doo Doo Lookin’ Out My Back Dorr - What happens when a Second Amendment lobbying group turns out to be little more than a cash grab for a savvy set of grifters?

    Episode 007 - Greetings from Cameroon

    This week, the gang rejoins to do what they do best: talk. The Jennings clan is still undergoing some family difficulties (which we’ll discuss on the show very soon, dear listener), so today, you’re getting what was originally supposed to be Episode 006. We recorded this a few weeks ago, but wanted to include it largely because we finish up our discussion on gun control….for now… We’d like to thank you for listening - this show is growing day by day, and we’re hearing very good things from people who love it. If you’re listening, please like, subscribe and share the show in every way you can! Topics for the roundtable include: * Gun Control, Part Deux - What are the emotional side-effects of gun violence, both inside the 2A community and outside it? And what does it mean to say that there is collateral damage to freedom? (Plus, we go chasing down the illegal immigration rabbit-hole, so you get extra content!) * Where’s Toto When You Need Them? - There have been reports that white South African farmers are being slaughtered amidst an emerging genocide; what should be the role of the United States in checking this behavior, if any? * Who Watches the Botchers? - Joe Biden has revealed that he has late-stage cancer…all of a sudden. We take a little trip down to Conspiracy Corner to ask: how long did the people around him know about this, and why were they (probably) hiding it? * (Log)Rollin’ up the River - The Wyoming State Legislature is plagued with backchannel deals, including those that qualify as “log rolling”; what can be done about it, and what will be done about it? * Email at Last! Email At Last! Praise God Almighty, We Got an Email at Last! - And we’re not gonna tell you what it’s about…you’ll just have to listen to the episode! This is a public episode.

    Episode 001 - Dusting Off Space Shuttles

    Welcome to the Politics: Reloaded Podcast, hosted by Josh Jennings, David Iverson, Mark Jennings and Dana Jennings - four friends (and three family members), all involved in or with politics, having a good old-fashioned roundtable discussion every week about what’s going on in the news. This Conservative Right shopping cart would run completely smoothly, except for that squeaky Center Right fourth wheel (hint: it’s Josh) which occasionally needs oiling. This week’s topics are: * The Orange Man Speaketh…for hours: Do the Democrats actually have a plan in the wake of Trump’s presidential win and SOTU speech? * Dust Off the Space Shuttle: Why is the rescue of two NASA astronauts being so politicized? * Don’t California Education my Iowa Education: How does DEI keep getting sneaked into school curricula at the state level, and is the Department of Education involved? * The Redcoats are Coming!: Why do so many Republicans get into office and then immediately start acting against the best interests of their constituents?
