  • Excellent coverage

    The revolution may not be televised, but I’ll tell you what, Gaslit Nation will cover it. Someday I fear our children will not even be allowed to hear this kind of News analysis but if they are, it’ll be partly because of coverage like this. Highly recommend.

  • Sounds if Silence

    Andrea Chalupa, you give me so much hope. All of your interviews are insightful. I have learned a lot from your podcast. Your interview with Dr. Snitar was interesting and emotional. Your FIL was an amazing man. The end of the episode, though, had me crying. Dr. Snitar sounded so wistful when she named her favorite song. When “The Sound of Silence” started playing, I admit I lost it. Beautiful work, as always.

    This interview was amazing and opened my eyes to what is happening and how we got here.

    It helped me understand the the lack of interest people have in what is happening.

    You also opened my eyes to my own isolation and how I can dig out of this despair.

    Lately I’ve seriously been feeling and thinking I don’t want to be here anymore.

    I feel so alone and afraid.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stop Cuomo: The Lindsey Boylan Interview
Q: What do you want Americans to know about the importance of this mayor's race?
This is a significant election that will determine the future direction of the Democratic Party and our city, making it crucial to engage and rank candidates who are not Andrew Cuomo.
Stop Cuomo: The Lindsey Boylan Interview
Q: What was your time like working for Andrew Cuomo when he was governor?
It was a toxic environment that made me question my faith in everything about my life and about humanity, dealing with the unpredictability of harassment while trying to perform my professional duties.
Lawless
Q: What do you think is the most realistic path to contain the destruction of this court while we can?
Term limits are a common-sense solution, but more importantly, changing who is on the Supreme Court and limiting its authority in relation to Congress are crucial.
Lawless
Q: Will the American people ever get their Supreme Court back?
There is hope that the American people can get their Supreme Court back, but it requires convincing more of the Democratic base to vote based on the court and reforming the institution.
Brad Lander for NYC Mayor
Q: As the mayor of New York City, how will you clean up crime?
By strengthening the city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection to support vulnerable communities and tackle corporate malfeasance.
