  • First They Came for John Bolton

    First They Came for John Bolton
    Aug 26 2025

    Trump's FBI raids the home of John Bolton—the former first-term Trump advisor turned vocal critic—as the President escalates his use of state power to target and threaten anyone who's criticized him, most recently Chris Christie, Wes Moore, ABC News, and NBC News. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy react to those threats and all of this week's fascist horrors, including the arming of the National Guard in D.C., the administration's pending deployment of troops to Chicago, and ICE's plan to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man they wrongly sent to CECOT, to Uganda unless he pleads guilty to a set of dubious charges brought against him in Tennessee. Then, economic writer James Surowiecki sits down with Lovett to talk about the Trump administration's unprecedented acquisition of Intel stock—and what it signals to other major companies.

  • Marc Maron on Brainf*cked Trolls and Liberal Scolds

    Marc Maron on Brainf*cked Trolls and Liberal Scolds
    Aug 24 2025

    Marc Maron, comedian and podcast trailblazer, sits down with Lovett to discuss why the left always has to be such a buzzkill, whether Americans voted for Trump purely out of annoyance, and why the armies of online trolls love to do the president's bidding. Then they discuss whether we're living in an Age of Mania, if Democrats can shut down anti-woke comedy by simply being funnier, and whether Lovett can learn to stop catastrophizing every time his calls drop.

  • Officer Trump Patrols Washington

    Officer Trump Patrols Washington
    Aug 22 2025

    Donald Trump heads out on "patrol" in Washington, JD Vance hosts a photo op with the National Guard at the Union Station Shake Shack, and Stephen Miller—taking a moment away from terrorizing immigrants—excoriates "communists" and "elderly white hippies" for daring to protest. Dan and Jon break down the latest news coming out of occupied Washington, including Trump's new history-erasing reforms at the Smithsonian, his new ideological screening program from green card applicants, and MAGA goon Bill Pulte's weaponization of the Federal Housing Finance Authority. Then, Congressman Jake Auchincloss stops by the studio to talk to Jon about why Democrats need to embrace big ideas again.

Every American needs to make our right to due process a top priority. From every citizen to every green card holder to every organization or business this is critical.

We are already at the point in which both American citizens and visiting tourists are vulnerable to being kidnapped and disappeared to a foreign gulag.

Now is the time to fight, before it is too late.

This is an important call to action.

long time listener. I appreciate all of the research and commitment to sharing highlights of current political events. I may disagree with giving Harris a pass on Gaza but I agree many world atrocities including Sudan. it is erie how well they predicted Trump as existential threat to democracy, all around the world it seems a rise in far right hate. They're oddly comforting because it's all really scary but they keep us laughing and informed. Traditional news media is boring and too many commercials. I won't be getting simply safe because I like big dogs but I would try Athletic Greens if I had a free sample to try out first, good concept. I prefer those to constant pharma adds. All of us our lucky They're in the trenches for us digging through the grime and worst of politics to give us a wide perspective and not just a blue bubble. #Harris2024 go democracy, be patriots

Love it. Thank for getting to the grit and adding a dash of humor. So tired of the bothsidesism.

Funny and Informative

Great guests and discussions. They acknowledge the more liberal bent of the show and that is a-ok. Good alternative to Right Wing Radio/Podcasts and Fox News.

Very Funny and Informative

America is weird and sad in so many ways right now, this team succeeds in making me feel slightly less depressed about it.

These guys really take the sting out
