Ep. 334: The 51st State ft. Jesse Hawken

Rob talked to Jesse Hawken, host of the Junk Filter podcast, about Donald Trump’s recent threats to Canada to institute tariffs or possible just annex the country if we don’t solve the crisis of fentanyl-dealing migrants sneaking across the border, a problem which, as far as anyone understands, doesn’t seem to be based in reality. The reaction from the Canadian political and media class has been very revealing as to the true nature of the Canada/US relationship.Also revealing: the flippant response on social media to the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, in which the seething anger and resentment that many Americans feel about the health insurance industry, and the exploitative ruling class in general, was on full display.

UNLOCKED: Ep. 322: "Bathroom Distraction"

Incoming trans member of Congress, Sarah McBride, has been on the receiving end of a vitriolic wave of attacks led by Nancy Mace on which bathroom Sarah can use. This transphobic attack, coupled with Trump’s pledge to purge the military of trans servicemembers, are just the beginning of what we can expect will be a constant onslaught of attacks on our trans friends. Democrats have an obligation to stand up to Republicans but instead the continued insistence that trans issues cost Democrats the election—which is not true—persists. We talk about the “bathroom distraction” fight, reports that Kamala Harris is eyeing a run of some sort in 2026 or 2028, and the “riots” in Montreal.You can watch the entire episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/9YJjug8LLikBecome a paid subscriber to the show and access an additional episode every week.
