  • MAGA was never a real political party

    MAGA was never anything more than a bunch of angry idiots. The whole party was based on giggly rage. Ridiculous.

  • TOO. MANY. ADS.

    For the love of god, please learn a lesson from your peers. They don’t overload their episodes with ads or ad length. I promise you, if nothing else hinders the success of this show, the prolific ads WILL.

    The constant platforming and lack of push back against Hasan Piker is the last straw for me. He sat there and said he’s for the greatest harm reduction, but supports Hamas. That makes zero sense. He’s a terrorist sympathizer and Crooked is normalizing dangerous idea with this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hasan Piker Has Thoughts on the Hasan Piker Discourse
Q: What is Hasan's theory of political change?
He believes most Americans lack class consciousness and that building awareness of who actually holds power—capital and corporations—can shift political dynamics, with the goal of aligning with working-class needs and creating coalitions across different groups.
Strait Up War Crimes
Q: You've been in Congress a year. What do you know now that you wish you knew a year ago?
McBride reflects on the stakes of governance, the reality of partisanship, and the personal cost of political battles, emphasizing the importance of bipartisanship and substantive policy work over spectacle.
When Life Gives You Don Lemon
Q: What do you see as the biggest threat to press freedom today?
The biggest threat is the use of executive power and political maneuvering to suppress reporting, plus the spread of narratives that delegitimize reporters and control the flow of information, which undermines shared reality and democratic accountability.
TACO Tuesday in Tehran
Q: So the Supreme Court heard oral arguments today for Watson v. R&C. Could you tell us a bit about how this case reached the Court and what the R&C is arguing?
Leah Litman explains that the case centers on a Mississippi rule allowing counting ballots postmarked by election day if received within five days; the RNC argues federal law forbids counting ballots received after election day, potentially upending long-standing practices. The Supreme Court's decision could affect how late ballots are treated and whether early voting norms survive under federalism and textualist readings.
The Worst Way to Spend $200 Billion
Q: Joining me today is Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, who just became the Democratic nominee for Senate. Lieutenant Governor, welcome to Pod Save America.
Thank you for having me.
