  • Great show for smart people!

    I’m sad about the time change and the shows aren’t dropping quick enough. It’s Wednesday late afternoon, when will we get the drop for Wednesday morning show?

    This is basically my go to show now to find out what’s going on in the world. I love the balance of current events, politics, and laugh out loud humor. John has somehow created the perfect mix. It’s also a show that tries to focus on positive versus negative, and pretty sure it will save me during this upcoming election. Listen and learn!... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Red Carpet Treatment for Dictators
Q: What does the author identify as the key events that undermine democracy in the 21st century?
Patterson outlines a sequence of pivotal moments from the Bush era through the Obama and Trump years, including the Bush v. Gore decision, Iraq War, Citizens United, the subprime mortgage crisis, and the rise of Trump, arguing these events collectively destabilized American democracy and facilitated Trump's ascent.
We're Still Here With Simon and Julie
Q: What is at stake with AI-generated Indigenous journalists, and how does this affect real Indigenous storytellers?
AI journalists threaten to dilute and plagiarize Indigenous voices, making it harder for living Indigenous reporters to get paid and recognized; it delegitimizes authentic experiences and risks erasing real communities.
We're Still Here With Simon and Julie
Q: Simon, how did the documentary Hail to the Breadsticks come together and what was the core aim?
The documentary emerged from a collaboration with allies to challenge the misuse of Indigenous imagery in sports and media, gathering input from Indigenous writers, actors, and journalists to show both representation and its harms, while emphasizing allyship and authentic voices.
Rapture Ready? The GOP's Misguided Focus on the Apocalypse
Q: Why did you think the Trump administration used a 'caravan' framing again, eight years later?
Because border security remains a key talking point for Trump allies, and by reviving the narrative, they tap into fear and immigration-related anxieties to influence votes, even if the underlying situation is not as dire as portrayed.
Rapture Ready? The GOP's Misguided Focus on the Apocalypse
Q: What is your take on the migrant caravan narrative in 2026 and its impact on the midterms?
The panel suggests it's a manufactured focus used to destabilize or manipulate voters, with Fox News and DHS colluding to amplify the issue for electoral gain, rather than it being a genuine crisis. The strategy mirrors 2018 dynamics but on a smaller scale, designed to mobilize the base.
