A viral YouTube video has ignited a debate on social media. Josie and Brett Dasovic discuss the controversy surrounding Jesse Ridgway and his wife's decision to abort their unborn child after prenatal testing suggested a risk of Down syndrome, and why the story has become one of the most talked-about topics online.

Adam Johnson, known online as the "Lectern Guy" from January 6, joins Josie the Redheaded Libertarian for a candid conversation about political prosecutions, double standards in the justice system, media narratives, and the future of grassroots activism in America. Adam opens up about his own January 6 case, the sentencing that followed, corrupt prosecutors, and the political retaliation he endured. He also discusses his upcoming book, why he decided to run for local office, and why grassroots politics matters now more than ever. The conversation then broadens into media bias, censorship, lessons from revolutionary history, and practical ways everyday Americans can push back, starting right in their own communities.

In this explosive episode, Josie sits down with Douglass Mackey — the former economist-turned-meme war veteran who faced federal prosecution for a joke. Mackey made headlines after being convicted for sharing a satirical meme about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election — a conviction that was later overturned after a fierce legal battle with the Biden Justice Department. Josie dives deep with Douglass as he breaks down what the meme actually said, what inspired it, and how things spiraled into a full-blown federal case. He walks us through the moment he knew something was off, the shocking details of his arrest, the surreal charges, and what it was like to stand trial in a case many saw as politically motivated. They explore the aftermath of his conviction, his experience on bond, and how it felt to finally defeat the government in court. Now a free man, Douglass opens up about the personal toll, the weaponization of the justice system, and what comes next.

In this no-holds-barred episode, Josie sits down with internet personality Toby Turner for a chaotic and thought-provoking conversation that dives deep into the weird corners of culture, conspiracy, and AI. From the shadowy legacy of Jeffrey Epstein to the rise of Grok (Elon Musk's snarky AI), and somehow spiraling into a debate about Mecha Hitler in video game lore and satire — no topic is too bizarre or off-limits.

But is it worse than that? Not simply a wealth transfer but a lever of control, wielded by the U.S. government to make weaker nations fall in line. Soft power as they call it. Few understand it better than Mike Benz, formerly the "Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Communications and Information Policy" at the State Department. Benz believes soft power and foreign aid, managed effectively, have their place in the U.S. empire. Tonight we are bringing the reformist Benz together with foreign aid proponent Cenk Uygur and abolitionist Keith Knight (editor of Scott Horton's Libertarian Institute) to answer the question: "should we abolish foreign aid?" Hosted by Josie.

In this episode, we sit down for a no-holds-barred conversation with British political commentator Carl Benjamin — known online as Sargon of Akkad and host of The Lotus Eaters. Carl rose to prominence during the 2014 Gamergate controversy, defending free speech in gaming against what he saw as ideological infiltration by activist academics. We revisit the origins of Gamergate and ask: what really happened, and what did it reveal about modern cultural warfare? We also break down the recent clash between Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and swimmer Riley Gaines over trans inclusion in women's sports. Who's really being bullied — and what does this say about the state of public discourse? Then, the dating world gets scrutinized: Tinder's new height filter has sparked debate. Is it harmless preference or hypocrisy? Should men get a weight filter in return? We discuss what these features say about modern dating dynamics and double standards. Plus, Carl gives his unique take on the key cultural differences between the U.S. and the U.K., especially around gender ideology, free speech, and government overreach. Where is each country ahead — and where are they losing the plot?
