The PoliticsGirl Podcast

American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo

    Enemies: Both Foreign & Domestic. A Conversation with Janessa Goldbeck

    Will the American president use the American military on the American people? The fact that’s even in question indicates how far down the road towards autocracy this country has gone. Does that mean we’re helpless? Is there nothing we can do? What about the military itself? Will it, or can it, do anything? Join me and Janessa Goldbeck, CEO of VetVoice Foundation, as we discuss where we are with the American military, and what comes next.

    How Are We All This Dumb?: A Conversation with David Pakman

    America appears to be in free fall and 30% of the country seems on board for a million decisions they didn’t vote for and will only hurt them? How is that possible? David Pakman joins us to talk about his new book, instant New York Times bestseller, The Echo Machine: How Right Wing Extremism Created a Post Truth America, which addresses how the fall of critical thinking and rise of reactionary politics has done such destruction to our nation and what can be. Our country’s under attack and our media isn’t even talking about it. Which is why, now more than ever, we need to support those doing independent work to tell the truth, when it’s increasingly hard to find.

According to our guest, President and Co-founder of Run For Something, Amanda Litman, “Party recruitment is the most important thing we can be doing right now.” These are the people who will change the game. The candidates who will connect with the voters and set us on a brighter path. As Amanda says, “We need better people. Anywhere can be competitive, so we need to be fielding candidates everywhere.” And with a track record of bringing us leaders like: Sarah McBride, Molly McMorrow, and Jasmine Crockett…you know Amanda knows what she’s talking about.

    Cause a Frickin’ Rukus! A Conversation with David Rothkopf

    The Trump administration is actively seeking to destroy everything we know, but we can’t allow it. We need to fight back. Do more than we’re doing now. This is a nation built on causing a ruckus. So, that’s what the good citizens of America must do. We must recommit to the principles of truth, justice and freedom and stand up and fight for them. Trump is waging a systemic war against facts, intelligence and the rule of law. Our elections and our very sense of agency and power within this nation are at stake. So week need to understand what’s happening and we need to oppose it. Join us and we talk about how. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

    Everyone Gets Left Behind: A Conversation with Commander Bobby R. Jones

    Current leadership isn’t just letting our military down, they’re setting them up. Cutting benefits, firing veterans, changing allies….Our soldiers might be, as Commander Jones says, “trained to absorb a lot” but they shouldn’t have to absorb this kind of disrespect. The American military are not there to make the president appear more manly, or be used as an enforcement brigade to deliver real estate deals or bring political enemies to heal, so what happens when the administration asks our soldiers to do something for him but against the constitution? You don’t remove the kind of expertise from military leadership unless you have an agenda of which you know military leadership wouldn’t approve.

    Save Canada! A Conversation with Global Affairs Experts Andrea Chalupa & Marcus Kolga

    Expert in Soviet and Ukrainian history, Andrea Chalupa joins me and human rights activist and expert in Russia and disinformation Marcus Kolga, to discuss how important it is Canada not follow America down the path to authoritarianism laid by Russian influence and disinformation. Canadians need to understand they’re dealing with the same psychological warfare that was successful in America, and use the US as a cautionary tale. Donald Trump isn’t kidding when he says he wants to take over Canada, so Canadians need to vote for the leader who isn’t in bed with those who would let that to happen… As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

    Not Today Satan: A Conversation with Democracy’s Secret Weapon Skye Perryman

    If people are wondering where the pushback to the nightmare of the Trump administration is, it’s in the courts. In the absence of executive leadership, and with the abandonment of of legislative leadership, the judicial branch has gone from democracy’s last line of defense to it’s first. In fact, there are lawyers and activists working day and night to hold off the worst instincts of presidency. As Democracy Forward’s Skye Perryman says, “The most powerful tool the Trump administration has is to convince us we have no power, but it’s not true. There are people fighting everyday, not just to hold off the worst decisions, but to continue to move us forward towards something better.” Our country’s under attack and our media isn’t even talking about it. Which is why, now more than ever, we need to support those doing independent work to tell the truth, when it’s increasingly hard to find.

    Who’s in Charge of this Shit Show? A Conversation with Simon Rosenberg

    Trump’s first cabinet meeting was basically run by Elon. Republicans voted for a budget that would cut Medicaid and SNAP to ensure billionaires get even more money. Republican representatives are choosing to forego town halls after realizing they can’t answer for their party’s actions. Trump put out the disgusting Trump Gaza video and showed the world America is now Russia’s ally in the Oval Office. So, how do we look at all this and still have hope? Well that’s why we’re talking to Simon Rosenberg the author of Hopium Chronicles. To see what we can do to not only protect our country, but protect ourselves.  Our country’s under attack and our media isn’t even talking about it. Which is why, now more than ever, we need to support those doing independent work to tell the truth, when it’s increasingly hard to find.
