    STORMY & KATHY GRIFFIN ARE NOT SORRY

    STORMY & KATHY GRIFFIN ARE NOT SORRY

     Kathy Griffin, has gone through hell and back at the hands of Donald Trump and lived to tell her tale.  I love this woman; she has treated me with respect and empathy from day one. She knows what it’s like to face the firing squad and the full might of the MAGA Machine as it tries to destroy you. In 2017, Griffin was publicly ostracized for a photo shoot in which she held a fake bloodied and severed head replica of Trump. She lost jobs and tearfully apologized at a press conference a few days after the photo appeared on social media. In 2019, she released a self-financed film about how she was federally investigated for conspiracy to assassinate the president and blacklisted in Hollywood. Now, seven years later, Griffin is readying her comeback comedy tour and is set to hit the road with her My Life on the PTSD List tour. A two-time Emmy Award winner and cancer survivor, Griffin is fierce and funny as hell. Kathy Griffin Welcome to Beyond the Norm.

    BREAKING!!! STORMY SPEAKS WITH TRUMP ASSAULT VICTIM ALVA JOHNSON

    BREAKING!!! STORMY SPEAKS WITH TRUMP ASSAULT VICTIM ALVA JOHNSON

    My next guest is a part of a special sisterhood of victims having been allegedly assaulted by Donald Trump. Alva Johnson, a former campaign staffer says Trump assaulted her in 2016 when she was working as a campaign staffer for the former president. In interviews and in the lawsuit, Johnson said Trump grabbed her hand and leaned in to kiss her on the lips as he exited an RV outside a rally in Tampa, Florida on Aug. 24, 2016. Johnson said she turned her head and the unwanted kiss landed on the side of her mouth. While the kiss was unwanted, it was what came afterwards that made it worse as Trump came after Johnson with the full weight of his legal team; threatening her for violating her NDA. Since then, Johnson’s life has been turned upside down as she tried to tell the world what happened. She joins me today to finally put this manner to rest and walk us through what happens when you try and take on Donald Trump.

    MAGA DIARIES AUTHOR TINA NGUYEN ON GETTING FIRED BY TUCKER CARLSON, PETER THIEL AND THE LOOMING THREAT TO DEMOCRACY

    MAGA DIARIES AUTHOR TINA NGUYEN ON GETTING FIRED BY TUCKER CARLSON, PETER THIEL AND THE LOOMING THREAT TO DEMOCRACY

    Between 2008 and 2012, Tina Nguyen was a politics-obsessed college student and right-wing activist at Claremont McKenna College. Swept up by conservative rhetoric and promises of paid internships and scholarships, Nguyen was privy to the early days of the movement now known as MAGA.

    Now, Nguyen is pulling back the curtain not just on her own story within the alt-right but the full history of the movement, exposing how the right recruits, trains, indoctrinates and builds entire networks of power to bend America to its nativist will. Based on years of dogged reporting and interviews with countless people—from downing margaritas with the first Breitbart writers to pouring over conspiracy theories sent by COVID-19 deniers and even working for Tucker Carlson in the early days of The Daily Caller — The MAGA Diaries paints a shocking picture of a shameless movement that will do anything to triumph over the left, even if it means destroying every mechanism of government this country holds dear.

    In The MAGA Diaries, Nguyen blows the whistle on these dangerous extremists for the first time, shining a light on the systematized on-ramp for young Republicans. These are the new leaders of the right, and we must start paying attention.

    How the Justice System Failed Stormy + A Conversation with Neo Nazi Hunter Kris Goldsmith

    How the Justice System Failed Stormy + A Conversation with Neo Nazi Hunter Kris Goldsmith

    Stormy discusses the hypocrisy of the American Justice system and how she can be the star witness for the prosecution of Donald J. Trump in NY DA Alvin Bragg’s “Hush Money Case,” but her own lawsuit against the former president can be thrown out of court. “They made a moral judgment,” she says. “Because I’m a porn star I don’t deserve the same protection under the law.” But Stormy refuses to give up. “I’m a pain in the ass,” she says. Later, Stormy welcomes Kris Goldsmith to the show. The founder of Task Force Butler, Goldsmith is an Iraq veteran who has dedicated his life to hunting NEO NAZIS and helping veterans escape the grasp of right-wing extremism.


    Its end result, for Goldsmith, of a hard-lived life. Entering the Army as a teenager, he’d quickly risen to the rank of sergeant. But the horrors of the Iraq War left him with crippling, undiagnosed PTSD. A suicide attempt on the eve of being re-deployed in 2007 got Goldsmith booted from the service with a less-than-honorable discharge.


    Stripped of his rank, community, and G.I. Bill benefits, Goldsmith entered a dark spiral, which included sinking down rabbit holes of online extremism. With his one remaining lifeline — healthcare through the V.A. — Goldsmith clawed his way back to the surface. He became a veterans advocate, earned a degree from Columbia, and (four appeals later) finally got an upgrade to an honorable discharge. Along the way, helped secure congressional reforms in 2017 that enabled thousands of other vets to get medical help and challenge their own “bad paper.”


    During the Trump years, Goldsmith worked as chief investigator for Vietnam Veterans of America where he exposed a sophisticated Russian op that targeted U.S. veterans on Facebook to sow racial and political division. For Goldsmith, that open-source intelligence expertise soon gave him a leg up in exposing domestic threats, including fascist groups targeting American youth like Patriot Front.


    In the aftermath of the insurrection of Jan. 6, Goldsmith saw a need to give patriotic veterans a positive mission — uncovering extremists and insurrectionists in our midst. Task Force Butler’s work centers on exposing the inner workings and public wrongdoing of neo-nazi groups through deep-dive intelligence reports that can give prosecutors the evidence they need to go after the hatemongers in court.  The work takes a toll. Goldsmith has been sued, and doxxed by white supremacists. But he refuses to give up.

    STORMY TALKS WITH MAGA CULT DEPROGRAMMER DR. STEVEN HASSAN

    STORMY TALKS WITH MAGA CULT DEPROGRAMMER DR. STEVEN HASSAN

    My next on guest on Beyond the Norm is famed cult de-programmer Dr. Steven Hassan. He has spent the past 45 years rescuing people from the clutches of some of this nation’s most notorious cults and has of late found himself rescuing those afflicted with Trumpism and its various offshoots from QAnon to various extremist groups. A mental health counselor, Hassan flies around the country to hold interventions with cult victims, enabling them to take back their minds and lives. In 2019, Hassan published The Cult of Trump, a book that laid out what he sees as the former president’s cult-leader tendencies and offered advice for the families of Trump extremists. Hassan joins me today as Trump continues to leverage his stranglehold over the GOP for domination while pressuring those who will not bow to his presence to leave the party. This interview is a long time coming and will answer many of your most burning questions of how it’s possible for someone to lose their mind to Donald Trump.

Gave this podcast a chance & glad I did

Stormy is, without a doubt, a very multitalented public figure. I really like this podcast because she interviews people from a place of experience and isn’t afraid to be honest and human. She is someone who faced challenges and turned them into successes. Underestimate this woman at your peril folks. She’s a fighter who can’t be controlled or contained.
