  • How Sabrina Carpenter Got NYC Mayor Eric Adams Indicted ft. Rep. Maxwell Frost

    How Sabrina Carpenter Got NYC Mayor Eric Adams Indicted ft. Rep. Maxwell Frost
    Oct 1 2024
    What do Sabrina Carpenter and Eric Adams have in common? Maybe more than you think! TEMP CHECK 6: 00 - People are on Chappell Roan's ass over her current political stance. Should she be doing more, or are we expecting too much from the Midwest Princess? MAIN NEWS 16:40 - V & Sami explain the connection between NYC's Mayor, the Catholic Church, and Sabrina Carpenter. Already indicted on bribery charges, it looks like there may be more charges coming Adams' way. Should Governor Hochul pressure a resignation from Adams, or will her support for the Mayor hurt her too? 29:20 - Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost talks about his experiences on the campaign trail with Kamala Harris, the challenges of hurricane recovery in Florida, and how the anti-immigrant rhetoric is getting increasingly more dangerous.

  • When Sex Gets Weird, the Cults Will Crumble

    When Sex Gets Weird, the Cults Will Crumble
    Sep 24 2024
    Whoever is writing this week's storyline for America is going a little wild. V fills us in on her latest trip to the Pentagon, where they talk China, Russia, and of course TikTok with the Department of Defense. We also get some clarification on why they use the unsettling phrase "most combat ready lethal fighting force." TEMP CHECK 26:00 Georgia's Election Board voted on a measure which would require counties to hand-count ballots -- which even has some Republican's speaking up in opposition. Nebraska's unique way of distributing electoral votes is causing Trump to panic, and Senator for South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, is also trying to support this "winner takes it all" approach. Although Nebraska's Governor Jim Pillen seems to support this change, he said he won't call a special session without the support of 33 state Senators. MAIN NEWS 37:00 Breaking down all that is Mark Robinson, the self proclaimed "Black Nazi." We wrap up with an in depth look at what we know about the "freak offs" (aka mass rapes) Diddy was part of, including the IV bags and 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lube that were seized from his home, and the alleged tell all that Diddy's ex, Kim Porter wrote, that was published after her death.
