Send us a message!!!

In this episode of Pardon the Politics, Jeezy and Manny serve up a post-Thanksgiving feast of political insight and sharp humor. After swapping hilarious turkey triumphs and near-disasters, they dive into the challenges facing the Democratic Party as it scrambles to rebuild for 2026 and beyond. They break down Kamala Harris’s campaign struggles, reflect on Pod Save America’s episode, and ask: Where are the Democratic dogs ready to win?

The global stage heats up as the duo dissects the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, the ongoing conflict in Gaza, and the surprising developments in Syria’s Aleppo. They also tackle Ukraine’s changing strategies in the face of Russia’s latest moves and Trump’s bold claims to end the war.

But the drama doesn’t stop there—Pete Hegseth earns the Pickle of the Week after his mother’s scathing email resurfaces, casting a shadow on his nomination for Secretary of Defense.

With wit, depth, and a pinch of spicy political humor, Jeezy and Manny analyze it all. Plus, celebrate the anniversary of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, with a shoutout to their beloved brotherhood. Don’t miss this dynamic blend of domestic and international updates!
