Political Playlist Happy Hour

On this happy hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony tackle that age-old Jerry Seinfeld question "what's the deal with AI bipartisanship?" It's a good one, and one that we three tackle with equal parts fear and amazement, as the issue of AI and potential regulation is perhaps the only thing a profoundly divided Congress is finding common ground on. But the big questions remain, what will Congress actually do and more importantly, WHEN will they do it. Because while we love Claude, we do not want Claude to replace these three lovable podcast hosts!

On this Happy Hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss how to talk about the latest shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, that was likely an assassination attempt on Trump, bringing the total number of attempts to four. This is an alarming and unprecedented number in recent time, and more troubling is the only discussion of conspiracy theories and people calling these staged. While the folks in the room that night--some were our friends--can certainly verify this wasn't staged, we thought it important to discuss WHY there are so many outrageous theories gaining online footings, and how we might look beyond that chatter to identify what the real issue is that we as a country need to solve.

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss How To Talk About these crazy AI Lego pro-Iran propaganda videos that the Regime is making about the war, and how these diss-vids are definitely breaking through social media and no doubt getting under Trump's skin. But despite their silly dumbness, a larger, more serious question is raised: If Iran was losing so bad, why would they be making this videos mocking the US? And what does it mean that their latest "slopaganda" video goes after the FBI Director Kash Patel, following the bombshell reporting that he's drunk a lot of the time?

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael and Anna discuss the latest bombshell news surrounding Congressman Eric Swalwell, and his announcement to resign from Congress, as well as Republican Congressman Tony Gonzalez' decision to resign an hour later! Then, the discussion shifts to how to talk about the impending deal with Iran as we look back and try to remember what was in the PREVIOUS nuclear deal with had with them under Obama.

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss How To Talk About The California Governor's Race, which is, to put it mildly, a bit of a shit show. There are actually 61 names--for real--that are going to be on the primary ballot come June 2, but only 10 of them are serious contenders. And that's still a lot for this Jungle Primary, which will see the top two finishers, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the final ballot in November. So place your bets folks, because this race is anyone's to take! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael and Anna break down How To Talk About Young Republicans, and the recent polling that suggests the young MAGA cohort that was critical to reelecting President Trump is now jumping shit on account of a growing unhappiness with the direction he's taking the country on four key issues: Healthcare, The Economy, Foreign Policy and Immigration. But the real questions is, what does this mean for the midterms and who will win the messaging war?

Tune in and see if we can find some answers...

As gas prices reach a new high, Anna and Anthony dig into what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz, a key trading route controlled by Iran. Trump seems to be getting squeezed by his own foreign policies and the calling on countries like China and Japan to 'help out'. Are we at a tipping point in this war?

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael and Anna discuss their take on the recent State of the Union speech, and the effectiveness of the theatrics of it all. We then discuss Dan Crenshaw, the Politician On Our Playlist this week, who's a Republican from Texas and has been very vocal about using the military to go after the drug cartels.

P.S. do you know where your birth certificate is?

In this episode, Michael, Anthony & Anna dive into the tragic news of yet another fatal shooting in Minneapolis at the hands of ICE and CPB agents. Let's look at the political fallout, which young Republicans are now calling for a full investigation and Congressional testimony from administration officials, and how this all shapes up to an interesting look at the second amendment.
