Writer, comedian and all-around smart dude John Fugelsang joins the show this week to talk about MAGA mangling the teachings of Jesus, why the Dems are in trouble, and his new book: Separation of Church & Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds.

This week Davram Stiefler and Jason Selvig, otherwise known as the Good Liars, join Seena and Travis to share their experiences interviewing Trump supporters over the last decade. Why do they like Putin more than due process? Is there anything the Dems could do to sway them? What makes JD so f-ing scary? We talk through all those burning questions and more.

This week Seena and Travis dig into Trump’s red carpet roll out for Putin and his subsequent shift away from a “mere ceasefire agreement,” leaving Russia free to launch their largest offensive of the war in the following days. They talk through what it means for Hamas to accept conditions for a ceasefire as Israel is poised to attack Gaza City and look into state-sponsored militias in eastern Congo killing civilians. Finally they explain why they’re bummed that JD likes to bake.

The week Seena and Travis take a look at the Geneva Conventions– why they exist, who they’re supposed to protect, and what happens if they’re ignored (or not signed in the first place), in order to provide some context for Israel’s targeted killing of journalists. They question why Trump, our self-proclaimed anti-war president, is sending the military to DC and possibly Latin American. And in JD Vance Corner they provide a little levity alongside some artificially elevated water levels.

This week Seena and Travis take a look at Gaza and the stated Israeli strategy of occupation and “voluntary migration.” Seena remembers the Eggshell Plaintiff from his law school days and explains why a recent NYT correction about starving Palestinian children was misguided at best. We also look into the “Japan First” movement and the nationalist Sanseito party’s gains in recent Japanese elections. And while the world crumbles, we ask why the f*** is JD looking for UFOs?!

Seena’s back! He & Travis are joined in the studio by Marcus Parks to talk all the Epstein ugliness. How did this case instigate such intense right-wing theorizing? Will the MAGA-world love for Trump stretch all the way to pedophilia? They also take a look at the long history of US/Ukrainian relations - why is Ukraine so important? Did we keep our promises? How does Putin work his magic on all presidents and why might Trump’s recent heartbreak might be the one that breaks the spell. And, of course, we have JD Vance corner to celebrate a pretty good Trump on Vance troll. All JD haters welcome here!

This week, comedian and “liberal redneck” Trae Crowder joins the show to talk Trump, his appeal to Southern voters, and why certain chickens may be coming home to roost. Seena and Travis also ask him all about his most recent book, Round Here and Over Yonder, which covers his travels in the UK. Plus, JD Vance corner is back!

This week, Seena and Travis bring back Corey Brettschneider to discuss the recently completed Supreme Court term, focusing primarily on the birthright citizenship/universal injunction case and two cases dealing with religion in schools. Is the house really on fire? Ah, yep. Is there some serious beef between Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson? You bet. Are we in the midst of a self-coup? Quite possibly. What’s Seena’s breaking point? Listen and find out!
