From the archives: The return of John Dean

From our archives a very special guest, John Dean. For those of you who lived through Watergate, his name is synonymous with the political intrigue of the 1970’s. Dean served as White House Counsel for President Richard Nixon from July 1970 until April 1973. In that position, he became deeply involved in events leading up to the Watergate burglaries and the subsequent scandal and cover-up. Referred to as the "master manipulator of the cover-up" by the FBI, Dean’s testimony before the House was watched by some 80 million Americans. Granted immunity, Dean laid out in stunning detail and intricacy how the President not only knew about but orchestrated the break-in and burglary of the DNC. He ultimately was sentenced to one year in Federal Prison, but emerged from the experience as a changed and soulful individual. Dean renounced his former politics and started a second life as an author and speaker. He’s penned five books about Watergate and 10 books in total; including his most recent tome, Authoritarian Nightmare: Trump and his Followers. Dean is now the last man standing from that era, He is the last connection between this nation’s authoritarian past and present. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

MAGA trolling is more fun and popular than pickleball + A Conversation with Walter Masterson

Today we welcome back to our show, political satirist and digital comedian, Walter Masterson, a progressive video content creator who has turned trolling the whole MAGA shit-show into an art form. The video he shot while working on the frontlines during the January 6th insurrection has been instrumental in helping the FBI apprehend rioters who were stupid enough to brag about their crimes on tape. Walt’s even brave enough to interact with users who both love and hate him on Twitch and Snapchat. Masterson has been trolling anti-abortion groups and been following the conversation happening now on college campuses. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
