  • Episode 135: #MAGAInHeat #LetThemEatCake #SettlingTheSenate
    Jun 11 2024

    Cathy and Troy discuss Trump's "let them eat cake" moment as he tells his supporters standing in triple digit heat to see him speak that he doesn't care about their safety, only their votes.

    Speaking of let them eat cake, the European Union elections in France go full fascist, as the far-right, nazi-sympathizing party of Marine Le Pen destroys the centrist party of President Emmanuel Macron, setting up a showdown for control of the French parliament in elections this summer.

    Is fascism coming to France?

    And we deep dive potential reforms to U.S. Senate to save the body and American democracy as a whole by looking at how upper houses work in other countries and what we can learn from them, as the world barrels toward 3 crucial elections this year in the U.S., U.K., and France that will decide the future of global democracy.

  • Episode 134: #ConvictedFelonTrump #Bibi'sBidenBurn #GenerationTrauma
    Jun 4 2024

    Cathy and Troy break down the developing ceasefire proposal put forth by President Biden to end the conflict in Gaza. The deal includes a withdrawal of Israeli forces and the rebuild of Gaza, along with a return of displaced Palestinians to their homes.

    Is this the beginning of an end to the genocide and the start of a new era of Palestinian statehood? Bibi Netanyahu's right-wing coalition is adamantly opposed to it, but the Israeli people want it...and so does Hamas. Will Bibi's political opponents in the parliament back him on the deal if he loses the support of his right-wing base?

    Donald Trump is convicted by a jury of falsifying business records to cover up a scheme to launder hush-money payments to porn stars. And he is still the Republican nominee for President. Will the nation elect its first felon to the White House? What does that mean for the U.S and for the world?

    And Cathy brings us a deep-dive on generational responses to the Trump conviction.

  • Episode 133: #MasterDebater #ButkerBlowsIt #BadBuiltButchBody #SaudiSaviors
    May 21 2024

    Cathy and Troy break down the verbal melee in Congress in the middle of the House Oversight Committee meeting, when Marjorie Taylor Greene decided to talk trash...then Jasmine Crockett made her eat it. But really isn't this what the House of Representatives was designed for?

    Biden agrees to debates with Trump...because Trump is an idiot and didn't realize you don't have to challenge your presidential rival to a debate, those are scheduled for the fall right before the election. But Biden calls Trump's bluff and now we get another round of the absolute horror show that is the Trump/Biden debate. Awesome.

    Biden works on a deal with the Saudis to bring them into the fold on Israel in exchange for a ceasefire agreement. Will Israel agree to it?

    The International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and the leader of Hamas while the President of Iran dies in a helicopter crash.

    And Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker decides to step in shit, lecturing college graduate women about how much better their life would be if they just gave up their careers and committed to making babies. Will Taylor Swift respond to her boyfriend's jackass teammate?
