Today on the Show: Culture Clash founder and award-winning playwright and Icon, Richard Montoya, is keeping track of ICE in L.A, where life  for undocumented and documented brown people has become a very treacherous place to live. Greg Palast is Tracking Trump and white-power Washington as the criminal and Chief gets ready to fling a couple of well-placed wrenches into the up-coming midterm election. An award winning front-line investigative news magazine focusing on human, civil and workers rights, issues of war and peace, Global Warming, racism and poverty, and other issues. Hosted by Dennis J.

Greg Palast is an investigative reporter whose work has been featured by The Guardian, BBC Television, and Rolling Stone. His books include the New York Times bestsellers The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and Billionaires & Ballot Bandits. His latest documentary is Vigilantes INC.: America's New Vote Suppression Hitmen. Greg Palast warns that Donald Trump's recent speech on election "security" and "fraud" was not funny, something to be mocked, or ineffective because it mangled the facts. Palast lays out what he calls a proven, decades-old playbook: voter nullification and voter purges, deployed to surgically target Black, Hispanic, women, and other voters who are key parts of the Democratic Party's base. And Palast loudly sounds the alarm that if Trump and the Republican Party's corrupt SAVE Act passes Congress — or its key elements are implemented via executive order and a MAGAfied Supreme Court — it will be almost impossible for Democrats to win future elections.

LEAVING MAGA, FINDING EARTH DAY SOLARTOPIA   We start GREEP Zoom #263 with the wonderful MAGA refugee JENNIE GAGE reporting from Arizona and her brave new post-Trump/Mormon life.   Amidst the aftermath of the now-iconic AI image of Donald Trump as Jesus, we hear from star Raw Story reporter ALEXANDRIA JACOBSON.   According to both Jennie and Alexandria, the “trinity” of the Epstein Files, the Iran War and the economy is shredding the Trump MAGA camp forever.   Viktor Orban's monumental loss is tagged as a MAGA loss by Charisse Sebastian who emphasizes the need for “unconventional” thinking.   With memories of Hungary, we hear that SANDY BOLZENIUS remembers how Orban took power and has now been left in the dust by a worldwide people's movement.   From Minnesota, KARLA SAND comments that the Democratic Party is in a complete shambles.   Also from Ohio, MORGAN HARPER dissects the economic crisis tearing the Buckeye State into unpredictable, independent pieces as she reminds us that the root of the Epstein/Wexner scandal is still right there.   From the world of election security, NATHAN TAYLOR focuses on who owns the vote counting machines, and asks whose benefit do they and their “algorithmic behaviors” really serve?     EARTH DAY SOLARTOPIA!!   This special segment is to be broadcast nationwide for Earth Day 56, April 22, 2026.     We start our journey to save the planet with HOWIE HAWKINS, former Green Party presidential candidate with a full report from Ukraine, whose nuclear reactor are under apocalyptic attack, and where a grassroots movement is desperately trying to move that war-torn country to a 100% green-powered Solartopia.   As for nuclear security, reactor safety expert KEVIN KAMPS warns of the chance a reactor could be attacked with a drone and turned into an Apocalyptic nightmare. Legendary master economist GREG PALAST lays out the nitty-gritty of the multi-billion-dollar scams surrounding the failed nuclear reactors at Shoreham and elsewhere throughout the US. From New York's Indian Point the great SUSAN SHAPIRO brings to the crucible the insane multi-billion push to build ever-more reactors, even with the deeply discredited reprocessing scam that release climate changing gases that threaten human existence.   Forever activist/journalist KARL GROSSMAN adds to Greg's epic explanation of how citizen activism took down the Shoreham plant along with so many more.

Greg Palast joins us to discuss the devastating impact of voter suppression in the 2024 election.

To help us navigate these dark times, Gaslit Nation will hold our first book club. Join us next Monday, February 24, at 4pm ET for a salon discussion on two profound works: Albert Camus' The Stranger (the Matthew Ward translation) and Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. These books capture the emotional truth of our era. Frankl, a Holocaust survivor and psychologist, offers extraordinary insights into how people confronted genocide in death camps. His account of prisoners organizing cabarets and finding spiritual connections, even in the face of death, is both harrowing and inspiring. Man's Search for Meaning is essential reading for understanding how casual sadism, like Elon Musk's highly illegal mass purge of live-saving government programs, is already taking root in the U.S.   This week's bonus show also features a continuation of our conversations with Elie Mystal, author of Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America, on why we need an EU travel ban of Ivanka Trump and others complicit in the destruction of democracy in America, and investigative journalist Greg Palast, director of Vigilantes, Inc., a must-see film about the GOP's war on democracy. To access the full episode, join our Patreon community at Patreon.com/Gaslit. As we face these turbulent times, Gaslit Nation remains committed to shedding light on the truth.

There's a troubling sense of normalcy bias among some Democratic leaders who believe they'll regain their footing in the 2026 midterms, riding another anti-Trump wave. But here's the critical question: will the United States even have free and fair elections? To answer that, we need to look back and ask: was the 2024 U.S. election free and fair? Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and those around them, break the law so brazenly, how can we trust they came to power without breaking the law?    According to investigative journalist Greg Palast, this week's guest and director of the must-see film Vigilantes Inc., which you can watch for free, the answer is a resounding no. Palast's analysis reveals the shocking normalization of Republican voter suppression: over 3.5 million votes were effectively canceled in 2024. This means 3.5 million Americans were denied their fundamental right to vote. And according to Palast, a significant number of suppressed voters are nonwhite. This isn't just voter suppression; it's a modern-day resurrection of Jim Crow, fueled by the Republican Party's relentless assault on democracy. In this week's bonus episode, out Friday, Elie Mystal, the Justice Correspondent for The Nation, and author of the new book Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America, explains how the GOP's reaction to the first Black president was to gut the Voting Rights Act, paving the way for Trump.    In this week's bonus episode, we also continue our conversation with Palast, diving into the power of film as a powerful force for confronting America's darkest history. Plus, we'll also hear from Mystal on why European nations must take a stand by imposing a travel ban on Ivanka Trump and others complicit in the destruction of our democracy—a move that could help hold the Musk-Trump regime accountable for its action, along with divestment strategies that brought down Apartheid.

Democracy can win, despite the 2.3% suppression headwind. And that's our job as Americans: to end the purges, the vigilante challenges, the ballot rejections and the attitude that this is all somehow OK. Martin Luther King gave us our marching orders in 1965, in words just as important today.

A Gaslit Nation listener at the Democracy Defender level asked for a handy guide to help a small business owner considering voting for Trump to reconsider. If you need help convincing the small business owners in your life not to vote against their interests, Gaslit Nation has you covered! This special episode breaks down all the reasons Trump will be disastrous for small business owners, including the bribes they'll have to pay after Trump finishes turning our country into lawless Russia, which has been the plan all along, as Gaslit Nation first warned. This week's bonus show also covers the VP debate. Why didn't Walz dogwalk Vance like Harris dogwalked Trump? Walz is the guy who coined “weird,” so we know he could have destroyed Vance, listing all the ways he's a Peter Thiel tool. Why didn't he? The answer may be in Walz's closing words. His warnings at the very end gave us important insight and guidance into what to expect in the tense months ahead, as discussed in this week's bonus show. Our discussion with investigative journalist Greg Palast, about his new must-watch film Vigilantes, Inc., and the audience Q&A at our live-taping, is included in this week's bonus show.

On Gaslit Nation, we often say that America's history is an authoritarian one for nonwhite people. That brutal legacy flows directly through the family of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. His ancestors were among the first to bring enslaved Africans to Georgia and fought to prevent America's Founding Fathers from banning slavery in the Declaration of Independence. Fast forward to today: Brian Kemp continues that legacy by denying voting rights to the descendants of those his ancestors enslaved. And in Georgia, you can't even learn about this history because Kemp has worked to suppress it—that's how he holds onto power. As the must-watch documentary Vigilantes, Inc. by investigative journalist Greg Palast reveals, “suppressing history suppresses the vote.” Narrated by Rosario Dawson and produced by Martin Sheen, George DiCaprio, and Maria Florio, the film is available for free at SaveYourVote.org, a site launched by Leonardo DiCaprio. The name Vigilantes, Inc. traces back to 1946, when the Ku Klux Klan used it as a cover for their operations. Today, Kemp is leading the charge to use the Klan's playbook to steal Georgia for Donald Trump in 2024, and MAGA has a new A.I. weapon.  Palast is known for his investigative reports for The Guardian and bestsellers including The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. This week's bonus show, out Saturday for subscribers at the Truth-teller ($5/month) level and higher, will feature the audience Q&A with Palast at our live taping. Listeners' questions at the Democracy Defender ($10/month) level and higher will open the bonus show, incuding how to explain to small business owners that serially corrupt, Kremlin asset, career criminal Donald Trump is no businessman—he just played one on TV. Look out for that special Q&A bonus episode this Saturday, exclusively on Patreon. Discounted annual memberships are available. Thank you to everyone who supports the show, especially in these hard times–we could not make Gaslit Nation without you!  Watch Vigilantes, Inc. for free here: SaveYourVote.org Check out Greg Palast's work here: ww.gregpalast.com Our next phonebank party is this Wednesday October 2nd at 6pm ET with Sister District, calling into Michigan.
