The “conservative libertarian” admitted he’ d let his mother be pepper-sprayed if they had to “move” her Trumper Sean from Louisiana called into my SiriusXM show, saying he occasionally listens and is a “conservative libertarian.” And he wanted to clarify, regarding Donald Trump, that “I hate some of things he says,” but Trump hasn’t done “anything fascist.” When given examples, he kind of just sp...

New York State Senator speaks out after being pepper-sprayed, handcuffed and arrested at a protest, as police brutality surged on the 10th night of demonstrations. New York State Senator Zellnor Myrie protested this week at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. His experience, which he shared with me, is vitally important to listen to as we have witnessed 10 nights of protest across the country and as...

He’s worried about his manliness, and believes it’s all a conspiracy and a “scam” Trump supporter Bill from Illinois called my SiriusXM show this week claiming that he won’t wear a mask amid the coronavirus pandemic —“Thank God Trump is making fun of Joe Biden” for wearing a mask, he said — because he doesn’t want to look “weak.” I asked what he feels so insecure about, and why his manhood is so t...

Cindy from Austin, Texas called into my SiriusXM program this week to cheerlead for Donald Trump. It was a conversation that exposed the deep denial many Trumpers are in, and also how deeply Trump has drawn them into his perverse cult. She did not get an easy ride from me. Cindy was triggered to call by hearing criticisms of Trump from a guest on the show. And yet, she had no facts, just adulation...

I interviewed Benjamin R. Teitelbaum, a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and an expert on the radical right, about his new book, War For Eternity: Inside Bannon’s of Global Power Brokers , on my SiriusXM show recently. It’s a fascinating discussion, definitely worth a listen. Many view Bannon as a failed White House advisor who keeps flailing about around the world. Certainly he s...

Tim from New York called in to my SiriusXM show to defend Donald Trump’s response to coronavirus, focusing predictably on Trump’s claim that he shut travel from China to stop the virus. When I debunked that and asked him about Trump and testing, he claimed Trump did ramp up testing adequately. And when that was debunked, and after I raised other issues, he eventually switched to…Bill Clinton. It’s...

Independent journalist Frank Smyth , spoke with me in depth on my SiriusXM show about his illuminating new book, The NRA: The Unauthorized History , in which he does an amazing job of unearthing the relatively secret history of the National Rifle Association — that is, a history the NRA itself has done a lot to try to hide. He details how the group began in the late 19th century as a marksmanship...

I meant to post this clip shortly after that last call I posted from a Trumper to my SiriusXM show (Michael in Alabama), as they’re like two bookends of idiotic know-it-all-ism. Tim from Midland, Texas said he was a new, “short-term” listener to “progressive” radio and he wanted to call in and school us with a “conservative view” on coronavirus, because, you know, we just weren’t fully informed of...

He called Kayleigh McEnany “pure” and “all-American” What would a weekend be without posting those combative calls from Trump supporters to my SiriusXM show? (I’ll be posting another one later.) A lot of people couldn’t believe Michael in Alabama was real. But yes, he was — a true cult follower, unhappy with me for not “giving credit” to the president, whom he praised. I must say, however, he was...

He also claimed there’s a “cure” for coronavirus, and that I’ve been distorting facts about it. This one underscores the dangerous misinformation about coronavirus that Donald Trump peddles to his supporters — in addition to their cultish loyalty. John from Pennsylvania called into my SiriusXM show to defend Trump’s complete reversal on Georgia governor Brian Kemp’s lifting of stay-at-home restric...

After Jason from Georgia called in on Monday SiriusXM to show to say “freedom” is more important than “death” regarding stay-at home orders amid the coronavirus crisis, Zack from New York called in to back him up. Zack then called governors enforcing public health laws are “authoritarian,” but claimed Trump wasn’t an authoritarian — even though Trump said a week ago that he has “total authority” o...

Jason from Georgia calls in…. On Monday, Jason from Georgia called in to my SiriusXM show saying it was time to lift stay-at-home restrictions amid the coronavirus crisis — and his reckless governor has decided to do just that , as rates of infection in the state rise — even if it means people will die: “Open it back up and let people decide — eventually people are going to choose freedom.” We got...

Many listeners to my SiriusXM Progress show will remember Laura from Michigan who called the show on March 18th. You can listen to it in this clip. (And actually, I promised listeners I’d sent out the clip in this newsletter once I launched it — and they’ve been writing me over and over asking for it!) On that day, Donald Trump had promised two navy ships that are floating hospitals would be deplo...
