On Wednesday the President spoke to a crowd of his most ardent supporters, encouraged them to go to the Capitol and, after weeks of fanning the flames, incited a failed insurrection. It was haphazard, bizarre, at points absurd to the point of humorous but generally concerning about where this energy goes after Trump. Jared Holt, who has been tracking right wing extremism for years, joins us to talk about just that.You can follow Jared HERE.—You can leave us a voicemail at: 202-570-4639.

Liliana Segura, senior reporter at the Intercept, joins us on this episode to talk about the tragic case of Brandon Bernard and the Trump administration’s rush to execute inmates on death row before he leaves office. We explore the extenuating circumstances affecting Brandon’s case and the change of heart jurors had after the sentencing. Additionally, we discuss the arguments against capital punishment and how it intersects with efforts to defund the police and reallocate those funds toward social programs.You can read more about Brandon’s case HERE.You can follow Liliana HERE.You can leave us a voicemail at: 202-570-4639.

This one is painful for us. We give Ken Klippenstein a stern talking to for his repeated offenses of work policies. From “trolling” a Trump official to violating his non-compete clause with his new Substack, Ken’s flippant attitude has led us to do the unthinkable: give him a verbal warning and ban him from the show.Before we send him on his way we get his thoughts on Biden’s recent admin selections and the liberal responses.If you think absolute lawlessness is fine, follow Ken HERE.You can leave us a voicemail at: 202-570-4639.
