    Fauci the FALL GUY? Perez Hilton's Breakdown, with Drea de Matteo, and the $20 Burrito Debate

    Emily Jashinsky is joined by Drea de Matteo, Emmy Award-winning actress and host of the “ULTRAFREE” podcast. They begin by discussing Drea’s latest career move in the wake of her outspoken stance on COVID and the growing push to hold Anthony Fauci accountable. Drea explains why she believes Fauci has ultimately become a scapegoat for a much larger system involving powerful institutions. Then Emily and Drea react to Wisconsin Democratic Socialist gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong's past calls to cancel holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas before reflecting on Drea's own political evolution and what she believes is drawing more young people toward socialism. Later, they discuss Ariana Grande's bloody new music video, Hollywood's fascination with dark imagery, Perez Hilton's recent hospitalization following a disturbing livestream, and the broader impact of social media, AI, faith, and technology on modern culture. They also reflect on the passing of Drea's former Sopranos castmate Vincent Pastore, with Drea sharing memories from the set and explaining why the iconic series continues to resonate with younger audiences decades so many years after it first aired. Emily closes the show by examining the raging debate on the right over a $20 burrito and why she believes Republicans should address rising costs and economic anxiety with practical solutions rather than dismissing voters' concerns, and more.   Cozy Earth: Visit https://www.CozyEarth.com & Use code EMILY for up to 20% off   Cowboy Colostrum: Get 25% Off Cowboy Colostrum with code AFTERPARTY at https://www.cowboycolostrum.com/afterparty   SelectQuote: Compare top‑rated life insurance options.

    Fauci’s Diary Exposed, Biden Audio Reveals Decline, & Trump Trolls Kaitlan Collins, w/ Mary Margaret Olohan

    Emily Jashinsky breaks down Anthony Fauci's newly released COVID-era diary entries, arguing they reveal a striking level of self-regard, cozy relationships with prominent journalists and celebrities, and private comments that raise new questions about his public messaging during the pandemic. Then Emily is joined by Mary Margaret Olohan, White House correspondent for “The Daily Wire,” to react to newly released audio from Joe Biden's interviews with his ghostwriter, discussing what the recordings reveal about Biden's cognitive decline. They also weigh in on the media’s uproar over President Trump's joke about CNN's Kaitlan Collins at the recent White House Correspondents' Dinner, arguing the controversy misses the bigger story of an elite media establishment increasingly disconnected from the public. Later, they examine Katy Perry's criticism of the White House for using her music in a military-themed social media post, debate whether her outrage is selective, and discuss the Trump administration's aggressive messaging strategy and renewed focus on socialism as Democratic Socialists gain political prominence. The conversation also turns to Chelsea Handler's viral child-free video and what it says about modern attitudes toward family. Emily closes the show by examining the Shiloh Hendrix case, arguing that while her comments were offensive, punishing speech itself sets a dangerous First Amendment precedent. She cautions conservatives against confusing a defense of free speech with a defense of Hendrix's actions.
