    New Year Special: The Oath and the Office

    In this special New Year episode - John shares his latest episode of his podcast with Professor Corey Brettschneider - The Oath and the Office. They start with the Supreme Court checking Trump on using the National Guard—why it matters, and whether the Insurrection Act is the next risk. That ruling is their doorway into a 2025 Year in Review: where they revisit Trump’s most dangerous attacks on the Constitution, and the guardrails that barely held. Next, they break down Judge James Boasberg’s escalating confrontation with the administration over deportations tied to the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Can the government claim people sent to Venezuela have no due process rights? And can courts be told it’s “too late” once they’re out of the country? They explain what the Constitution requires and what’s at stake for the rule of law. Finally, they turn to Florida, where Ron DeSantis’s remake of New College offers a blueprint for a broader war on education—replacing what they label “woke” with enforced ideology, down to symbolic culture-war moves like honoring Charlie Kirk.

    New Year Special: Howl Owl Howl

    John Interviews the band Howl Owl Howl. Founded by Grammy winning Hootie & the Blowfish frontman/multi-Platinum country star Darius Rucker, REM co-founder/Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Mike Mills, and The Black Crowes co-founder/ former drummer/ lauded media personality Steve Gorman, Howl Owl Howl rekindles the spirit of the authentic rock band. Infusing roots rock with an open-minded alternative flair – plus a fluid rhythm section and the barrel-chested vocal rasp of an iconic frontman – it was born from friendship and the pure joy of collaboration, and powered by the world-class instincts of true originals.

    The Magical Healing and Unity of Music

    Tara Dublin guest hosts for John on his holiday break. She talks about the piecemeal, haphazard, slow-trickle, f*****y release of the Epstein files. She also discusses reports that the US carried out airstrikes against targets in Venezuela over the Christmas holiday. Trump has made several contradictory statements to the press on the strikes, but it seems the target was a shipyard. Then, she interviews Alicia J. Rose who is a photographer, filmmaker and musician based in Portland. They talk about her show Menopunks which is a bold, unapologetic documentary that exposes the truth behind the science and the silence. The show is backed by a fierce lineup of iconic Portland musicians. Then, Tara welcomes the one and only Hal Sparks to talk music, Trump mayhem and other politics.

    Canada Gains Momentum Over Gavin Newsome in the Troll Trump Challenge

    The monologue today focuses on the weird and warped goings on at the Turning Point USA’s first AmericaFest without Charlie Kirk. Spoiler alert: it reveals ideological rifts within the conservative movement. He also talks about CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss who decided to shelf a planned “60 Minutes” story titled “Inside CECOT,” thereby creating an uproar inside CBS. But the story was leaked to Canada and the report has reached a worldwide audience anyway. Next, John speaks with Professor Corey Brettschneider about the horrific shooting at Brown University where Corey teaches. They discuss the latest confirmed developments in the shooting—and the parallel storm of disinformation on X that spread during the investigation: false accusations against a transgender student and a manufactured narrative about motive. They break down how these claims circulated, why they’re dangerous, and how to separate verified reporting from rumor—without naming private individuals or repeating unverified allegations. Then, he welcomes back Rhonda Hansome to discuss the latest stolen Venezuelan oil tanker and the latest kidnapped victims of ICE cruelty.

    PLEASE Come Back My MAGA Minions! My Polls are Down and I Need Your Vote in the 2028 Election!

    T'was the Night Before Epstein Files

    John talks about the lead up to the release of the Epstein files. He also discusses Trump talking about his Venezuela War plans. Then, he interviews Christina Faith Johnson who is a true multi-hyphenate: a director, writer, producer, and mentor on a mission to tell bold stories that spark change and inspire action. Christina founded the production company "The Grindhouse Inc" with an aim to make impactful films and mentor rising creatives. In the last two years, TV and film production in L.A. dropped by 22% as studios fled to other states and countries with more space, more tax incentives and no wildfire season. Legislators in Pennsylvania want to compete with states like Georgia and New Jersey – who have seen hundreds of millions in investment from major studios. State Rep. Andre Carroll — who represents the 201st Legislative District — has put forward the Pennsylvania Film Production Tax Credit and Video Game Production Tax Credit to entice more productions to set up shop in the Commonwealth. Christina Faith Johnson is one of the creators signing on to help make the tax credit a reality. And finally, John chats with Democratic Strategist Max Burns and they banter about Trump's impending war with Venezuela and the impending release of the Epstein files.

    Epstein Pics Expose Much More as a Collage

    John talks about House Dems releasing more photos from the Epstein Estate, personal photos from Epstein’s own collection – some prominently featuring Donald Trump. He also discusses Trump's statement that he is pardoning former Mesa County, Colorado, clerk Tina Peters, but it's legally ineffective because it targets her state convictions, which fall outside presidential authority. Colorado says LOL. Next, he interviews Chris Anders who is the Director of the Democracy and Technology Divison at the ACLU. The ACLU just filed a major lawsuit demanding the Trump administration release the secret legal memo authorizing U.S. military strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats. These strikes have killed at least 87 people since September, including a now-controversial “double-tap” strike on survivors. Despite conducting 22 lethal strikes, the administration has refused to disclose the legal justification—breaking with long-standing precedent of releasing such memos for major military actions. The lawsuit argues these killings occur outside any recognized armed conflict, making their legality highly suspect and the memo’s release urgently necessary. Then finally, John jokes with TV's Frank Conniff and they chat with listeners about pop culture and current Trump fuckery.

    Is Trump Derangement Syndrome Covered Under Obama-Care?

    This time, John talks about the Senate GOP prepping a vote on a healthcare bill that 100% does NOT extend ACA subsidies, literally the ONLY thing democrats and citizens want from a healthcare bill. Also, he discusses Trump telling reporters that Ukraine is running out of time and President Zelenskyy only has a few more days to accept Putin's surrender plan. Then, he chats with Leigh McGowan who is a freelance writer and social media influencer who is known by the name "Politics Girl". The Politics Girl Podcast gives people a reason to care and a reason to fight. She says: Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be. And then finally, John interviews  J-L Cauvin who is a community advocate, attorney, and comedian who is running as a Democrat to succeed Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill and represent New Jersey’s 11th District in Congress.
