  • Episode 156: #Musk #Coup #TariffTreason
    Feb 4 2025

    Cathy and Troy react to the stunning developments in D.C. as an unknown cadre of Elon Musk cronies sieze control of the U.S. Treasury, take over payment servers controlling trillions of dollars of U.S. assets, and shut down global aid fund USAID. This is a coup of the richest man on earth being given permission to infiltrate and corrupt the United States government at will.

    Trump's tariff wars kick off in earnest as Canada hardens the border and looks to Europe for their future, having seen enough of what it means to partner with the United States. At the last minute Trump delays tariffs with Mexico, demonstrating what it means to rule by chaos.

    And after firing the FAA director and trimming down air traffic control even beyond critically low levels, planes are starting to fall out of the sky.

    American society has begun to crumble. Where will all this lead.

  • Episode 155: #DeportationDistraction #MuskHeilFive #KnowYourRights
    Jan 27 2025

    The Trump presidency is officially here and less than one week in we are already seeing the exact effects that were forecast of a fascist government coming home to the United States.

    Immigrant communities brace for the effects of Trump's ice raids that are also sweeping up American citizens, making the U.S. a "show me your papers" society. But are the mass deportations a distraction for the next move? Private concentration work camps for people that can't be deported?

    Trade wars begin in earnest with other nations, as Trump's America even makes Russia look like a sensible alternative.

    Meanwhile the world's richest man and Trump's co-president Elon Musk stirs up controversy by throwing up a nazi salute. But it's not an isolated incident, as Musk is actively campaigning for the AfD in Germany, the ideological descendent of the nazi party.

  • Episode 154: #FireStorm #Lies #California #FuneralForDemocracy
    Jan 13 2025

    Cathy and Troy debunk the firestorm of lies surrounding the horrendous and heartbreaking wildfires in Los Angeles. Never missing an opportunity to spread division, Donald Trump and his army of miserable right-wing influencers push dangerous lies disparaging public officials, including fire fighters, and mock the suffering of Californians. Shame on them.

    To support families impacted by the fires in Los Angeles, please go here.

    Political personalities on full display at Jimmy Carter's funeral, with all former presidents and first ladies, along with Kamala and Dougie, forced to endure the stinky presence of Donald and Melania Trump. Its amazing that he actually showed up. Obama gets heat for sharing a moment of brevity with the soon to be 47th. While George W. Bush, Kamala, and Karen Pence blot out the sun with the amount of shade.

    And TikTok prepares to shut off the lights in the United States, barring a last minute save from SCOTUS, Biden, or even Trump. Tune in to see where you can find us after the clock app falls. We hope you had the time of your lives...
