• 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.

    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?

  • Episode 132: #FederalPregnancyRegistry #WhatComesNext? #AnyoneButHamas #WomensRights
    May 14 2024

    Cathy and Troy analyze Biden's decision to withhold offensive weapons from Israel after Benjamin Netanyahu crosses Biden's red line and attacks Rafah, and an investigation reveals U.S. weapons have been used to commit war crimes. Now all eyes on Tel Aviv and Washington as the world turns against Bibi, and Biden now has to decide if he will fully abandon the brutal Israeli response against the Gaza Palestinians.

    While campus protests accelerate in the name of establishing an Arab Palestinian single state, i.e. ending the state of Israel. But what will that mean if the only government lined up to take control of such a state is Hamas? A far right, Islamic fundamentalist, anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-Jewish regime, with 8 million Jews living in Israel. What is the plan? And where is the secular democratic leadership that can demand rights for the Palestinians without forcing a mass removal of the Jews, and the expansion of extremist sectarian fascism?

    And creepy Alabama Senator Katie Britt introduces a bill to create a federal registry of pregnant people. Trump tries to claim his rally hit 100,000 attendees on a boardwalk in New Jersey with a capacity of 25,000, and the local media repeats the lie. And Cathy pontificates on the potential of a larger Russian invasion of Europe in the first ever edition of the segment: Cathy smokes the tea leaves.

  • Episode 131: #Ceasefire #Legacy #NoemMoreLies
    May 7 2024

    Cathy and Troy break down the looming attack from the Israeli Defense Forces on the city of Rafah, the last vestige of security for the people of Gaza, what the choices are for Biden now, and how this moment more than any other will define his legacy.

    Hamas agrees to a tentative ceasefire proposal written by Egypt to release hostages in exchange for a brief cessation of hostilities, but how will Bibi and the hardliners in the Israeli government respond?

    Protests grow on college campuses. Some are met with horrific racism, as in the case of Ole Miss. While some occupy buildings and become radicalized , and still others broker negotiations to achieve their goals from the universities.

    Cathy and Troy break down the history of college campus protests and draw parallels with the campus demonstrations of the late 1960's.

    And dog killer Kristi Noem wins Troy's lie of the week. And it's a complete disaster.

  • Episode 130: #SupremeCoercion #TheGreatestGas #NoemMorePuppies
    Apr 30 2024

    Cathy and Troy break down Donald Trump's recent court cases, where the disgraced former president faces fraud charges for secretly paying off a porn star to keep quiet about their affair while his wife was pregnant, calling it a campaign expense, and paying a guy named Pecker to hide the story from the tabloids.

    Oh and he keeps falling asleep during the trial and farting himself awake, grossing out his own lawyers.

    And he's the nominee of the Republican party to be the most powerful person on earth.

    Slap yourself. This is reality.

    Pro-Palestine protests get more intense on campus, as Bibi Netanyahu begs Biden to exempt his top lieutenants from the International Criminal Court, and the United States sanctions Israeli troops for attacking non-combatant Palestinians in the West Bank.

    The Supreme Court hears two key cases: one where Trump's lawyers argued that Presidents are allowed to commit crimes with impunity; and another where the state of Idaho argued that federal laws mandating that emergency room doctors save women's lives shouldn't apply to states that criminalize abortion.

    We break down the responses from the Justices and predict which way the cases will go.

    And South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem publishes a book wherin she happily describes murdering her own pets, and tries to use it as a platform to launch her into the role of Trump's Vice President.

  • Episode 129: #WW3 #IranToThePolls #IsraelNotSafer
    Apr 16 2024

    Cathy and Troy break down the Iran attack on Israel and the beginning of World War 3...or is it? Iran's attack was a very prescribed response designed to appease the hardline elements in their government, and resulted in only one injury and no deaths. Cathy and Troy examine the next possible moves for Israel and the U.S. with one thing certain: Israel is not safer as a result of Bibi Netanyahu's genocidal war on the Palestinians.

    And, we respond to far-left attacks on our character for our refusal to sit out the election, and ask what the plan is on the far-left, considering they don't even have a candidate to challenge Biden, let alone one that can get 270 electoral votes. The nation and the world has so much to lose with the election of Donald Trump, but the far-left care more about themselves than they do about actually helping the Palestinians.

    And a fake hug in a Chick-Fil-A wins Troy's lie of the week.

  • Episode 128: #ArizonaRising #19thCenturyLaws #SwingerStates #AbortTheGOP
    Apr 9 2024

    Cathy and Troy break down the new total abortion ban in Arizona, a law written in 1864 before Arizona became a state, and decades before women had the right to vote. The law has been on the books for more than a century but was unenforceable while Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. Thanks to Trump and the Federalist Society taking control of the U.S. Supreme Court, now Arizona women are subjected to 19th century law, and 19th century medicine.

    Arizona joins Florida as two major swing states that will now have abortion on the ballot for the Presidential election in November, greatly increasing the chances of a Democratic victory on the national level.

    Israeli Defense Forces pull troops back from southern Gaza a week after Biden called Bibi Netanyahu and read him the riot act over international food aid workers being killed in an air strike by the IDF. Bibi is now in a really bad spot as he's on the verge of losing American support if he pushes any further in Gaza, but if he doesn't he will lose his fascist right-flank supporters in the Israeli Parliament.

    And Obama's pollster discusses the reality of polls in the 2024 election and how despite what legacy media is saying, Trump is in no better a position than Biden according to the Polls. The Never Trump movement is holding strong with Nikki Haley getting tens of thousands of votes in primaries despite dropping out of the race.
