Midterm elections are approaching and early polling shows it's poised to be a bloodbath for the MAGA movement. But Americans may be in for a wild November, thanks to a crew of brain-rotted election denialists now working inside the US government. (One of them happens to be the president.)Hunter Walker, an investigative reporter at Talking Points Memo, has been following the MAGA movement's efforts to upend American democracy for more than a decade. He joins Mike and Jared to talk about the Trump Administration's recent raid of an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, and the wacky cast of characters who set it into motion. He warns listeners that we have to take efforts to undermine elections seriously, no matter how insane some of these people sound.Remember to disinfect your “poisoned" sodas with a touch of alcohol, because Americans are likely to see elections come under direct threat this November.Links for Hunter:Talking Points Memo: Meet the ‘Cabal'-Hating ‘Special Government Employee' Involved in the Fulton County FBI RaidTalking Points Memo: A Conspiracy Fueled Report Preceded ‘Black Pill' Tulsi Gabbard's Fulton County Election RaidBluesky profile: @hunterw.bsky.socialTransition Music: "Don't Let Them See You Suffer" by Faulty Cognitions

Hunter Walker, investigative reporter at Talking Points Memo, discusses his new book, "The Truce: Progressives, Centrists, and the Future of the Democratic Party." The book examines the ongoing struggle within the Democratic Party over its direction, particularly as progressives like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gain momentum. Walker argues that the party is a diverse coalition that relies on young people, union members, and people of color, in contrast to the increasingly extreme right-wing Republican Party. He also explores the challenges facing the Democratic Party in the 2024 elections and the influence of figures like Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi. Walker highlights the need for Democrats to unite and engage young voters and people of color in order to overcome Republican structural advantages and win elections.

Listening to Radio Luxembourg on his family's transistor as a teen in the British countryside, Simon Kirke  heard the siren song of The Beatles and was instantly hooked. Determined to make music his career, he spent two years in London before a fateful meeting with guitarist Paul Kossoff put him on a course to make his rock 'n' roll fantasy a reality. Along with Andy Fraser and Paul Rodgers, they formed the band Free which led to the mega hit/classic song All Right Now and Free becoming one of England's hottest bands. Then, in 1973, Simon, along with Free-mate Paul Rodgers, co-founded legendary hard rock supergroup Bad Company, a monster band that sold out record bins and stadiums worldwide. Their anthemic hits, Shooting Star, Feel Like Making Love, Can't Get Enough and Rock and Roll Fantasy remain among the most played songs in radio history.Simon joins us to share (mostly PG!) rock n' roll stories featuring his iconic bandmates and management and the music venues, record companies and recording studios where so much of his classic rock history played out. Simon tells us the story of Free and how All Right Now was written in desperation, to get the crowd dancing. Simon also details their legendary performance at the Isle of Wight Festival, and how Free stood up to the label that wanted to rebrand them the Heavy Metal Kids.He shares the backstage/pre-show moment when Bad Company's manager gifted them with platinum albums and we discuss the personality types drawn to each instrument.

What is truth? With George Santos, who knows. This week we're talking about the most prolific liar in the US Congress, Long Island's recent house member elect: George Santos.In this episode we're talking about who George Santos is and how he got here... here being both the United States and the House of Representatives. If you like our content, please become a patron if you'd like to support us directly. You'll get all of our episodes ad-free. The only thing we know for sure about George is that he is in fact a child of Brazilian immigrants, the rest is a very moving target. We only know that because he has a pending criminal charge in Brazil, apparently he stole the checkbook of a deceased man his mother was caring for and went shopping on the dead man's account. 1 More interestingly, George is apparently quite friendly with Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg, via Viktor's cousin in the United States Andrew Intrater. Santos is the largest recipient of funds from Intrater / Vekselberg linked companies in the past election cycle and the only one to get individual donations from both Intrater and his wife. 2 Santos is also linked to an investment firm in Florida called Harbor City Capital which was shut down by the SEC for operating as a ponzi scheme, and directors of that company including Jayson Benoit and Devaughn Dames are now involved in other Republican fundraising and political organizations, such as WinRed and Red Strategies USA. WinRed in particular has some explaining to do, as Santos and another campaign affiliated with his former Harbor City buddies (Tina Forte who ran against AOC in 2022 and lost by 44 points) are accused of fraudulently over-billing donor credit cards via the WinRed payment processing service. 3 WinRed's treasurer is a man named Benjamin Ottenhoff who came up in the Senate campaigns of Rick Scott, the senator from Florida who, unsurprisingly, was the CEO of a company which at the time pled guilty to the largest Medicare fraud in US history. Funny how Republicans pretend to care about how things cost too much but are either throwing money at scams or perpetrating them all the time, isn't it? Predictably, an Ottenhoff firm was also paid quite a bit to "consult" on Kanye West's political campaign, too. 4 1. Grace Ashford and André Spigariol.

We've got a MAGA alert agenda this week: Michigan Republicans have a battle of election deniers for chair of their party.  Some top Michigan Republicans want to draft charisma-challenged Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to lead the 2024 ticket.  In Ottawa County, the MAGA takeover of the Republican Party is on full display with a purge of county officials who aren't radical enough for the new county commission.  And the MAGA wing is looking at a takeover of some mid-Michigan school boards.  The MAGA-craziness is on display in DC as well, with reality-adjacent people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jim Jordan now into power positions in the U.S. House…which also features a couple of committee assignments for the Congressman currently known as George Santos. Joining the conversation this week is former Republican Denver Riggleman of Virginia. A former Air Force officer and National Security Agency contractor, Riggleman was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2018. He was defeated in his bid for reelection in 2020, losing to Republican primary challenger Bob Good in a drive-through party convention.  Riggleman co-authored a book with Hunter Walker titled, The Breach, which was published in October of 2022. The book detailed his work on the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack. He is the only member of the Republican party to speak on the House of Representatives floor against QAnon. He is a co-sponsor of 2020 US House resolution "Condemning QAnon and rejecting the conspiracy theories it promotes". He is also one of the co-authors of the Network Contagion Research Institute report called "THE QANON CONSPIRACY: Destroying Families, Dividing Communities, Undermining Democracy" which he wrote before the January 6 storming of the US Capitol.

Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by offering his thoughts on the weekend and the New Year, jumping into a discussion about what this week means, being the anniversary of the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol. Giordano plays back comments made by Grace Segers and Hunter Walker on CNN, two reporters who covered the incident, who claim they have PTSD after covering the incident. Then, Giordano discusses takeaways from this years' Mummers Parade, a longtime Philadelphia tradition that usually creates controversies due to their brash satirical comedic routines. Giordano, supportive of the Mummers, asks why PHL17 cut away from a critique on the Kenney and Krasner administration and the rampant crime in Philadelphia. Then, Giordano takes a caller and debates when and why the popularity of the Mummers has fallen by the wayside, and offers his opinion on the news of another round of school closures in the face of the Omicron variant.  (Photo by Mark Makela/Getty Images) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Walker details a "blanket pardon" allegedly dangled by Rep. Paul Gosar -- and whether Trump himself was aware of what was to come. Plus, the turning point of the whole "protest" on Jan. 6 -- which involved Trump himself. January 6th will be infamous in American history forever, but, as Walker says, the story is far from over.
