Twelve Painful Truths Democrats Must Accept to Rebuild the Party
I don’t want to sugarcoat it: the Democratic Party is in trouble. It is at its lowest level since the late 1920’s and possibly even worse than that when you consider Hawaii (one of only three states including Rhode Island and Delaware where Democrats control the state legislature trifecta and all congressional representation) wasn’t yet a state at that time.… Read More »
Episode 48–Is America Still Great?
For our last episode during Obama’s presidency (sniff, sniff, I’m not crying–it’s just raining…on my face), we look into globalism. What’s America’s place in the world now and how do we stack up militarily, economically, environmentally, technologically, and education-wise? The results may not be all good but at least we have Meryl Streep. Suck it, France. By… Read More »
Episode 47–Brody and Michael Save The World
The biggest of the “big,” it practically makes Trump look travel-sized. We take on no less than every big issue we can think of and answer questions from our listeners. How can interracial couples solve racism? How is automation a bigger economic threat than immigration? [Plus how to fix it.] Which Democrat is going to save us… Read More »
Episode 40–How Do Democrats Lose? The Southern And Northern Strategy
Can the Democrats take back the white working class? And how did they lose them in the first place? Tricky questions that we attempt to answer by looking deep into the history of the Democratic Party–which contained MLK and George Wallace at the same time–and how the Southern Strategy cost them the white working class decades… Read More »
Episode 35–What Will Obama Do Post-POTUS? And Predicting His Legacy
In our first truly “Obama Episode” we pull out our crystal ball to wonder what Obama will do after his presidency, and trying to predict how he’ll be remembered as President. Such burning questions include: Will Republicans miss torturing him? Exactly what bugs Republicans about Obamacare (their own plan)? Do Americans know we have the… Read More »
Episode 34–Do We Need a Revolution? And the Third Party Myth
In the final part of our “Sacred Cows” trilogy, we ask “Do We Need a Revolution?” and explore Bernie’s, Trump’s, Obama’s, and even Hillary’s revolutions, and wonder if things ever really change or our battles are echoes of the past. Why do some Trump fans seem okay with nuclear apocalypse? Are third parties only appealing… Read More »
Episode 22–Are Social Conservatives Over?
In the first part of our “conservative trilogy” (looking at social, military, and fiscal), we wonder if social conservatives are over or merely in a lull? How does Trump—a twice-divorced “New York Values” foul mouth who can’t quote Bible passages—change social conservativism? Is it a good sign that in only 8 years the social battles… Read More »
Trump Saying Saudia Arabia Should Have “Nukes” Scares Me
[Note: The actual headline of this article—which I had to edit for brevity’s sake—was “Trump Saying Saudia Arabia Should have Nuclear Weapons Scares The Hell Out of Me.”] It’s strange that the media has made covering Trump’s every second a national priority. [At this point Trump is the anti-Beetlejuice, you have to say his name three times to… Read More »
How Low Oil Prices are Undoing America’s Last Major Enemies
Later this week, I’ll write an article defending “The Obama Doctrine” and really defending the entire Obama presidency’s amazing foreign policy work, that receives too little attention. For now, I’d like to draw attention to an under-reported story in our media: how low oil prices are unraveling America’s last major enemies. We’ve seen dozens of… Read More »
