Get your dose of political sanity and a much-needed laugh as Stephanie Miller breaks down President Trump's latest chaotic primetime address. She dives into his most bizarre claims—including a casual admission of Russian election interference—and salute the teleprompter operator who was clearly fighting for survival. Between the media's collective meltdown, 25th Amendment whispers, and general GOP madness, Stephanie gives you the sharpest, funniest recap of the week so you can stay informed without losing your mind. With guests John Fugelsang and Frangela!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John discusses Trump delivering a paranoid and slurry primetime address on what he deems is an emergency of integrity in American elections. In the speech, Trump claimed he'd expose foreign plots to sway recent elections and blamed Democrats and Media Companies for allowing it to happen. He also talks about air quality being dangerously unhealthy across a swath of America from the Pacific to the Atlantic, including record-poor levels of pollution at the site of Sunday's World Cup final. Then, John welcomes back democratic strategist Ameshia Cross and they talk about Trump's mega lies and propaganda in last night's speech. The ever entertaining Bob Cesca jumps in and joins John to discuss Trump's longtime teleprompter operator, Gabriel Perez, who is under federal investigation for allegedly making $100,000 by betting on the content of the president's speeches. They also talk about Pete Kegsbreath's new directive for testosterone replacement therapy for male service members. Next, he interviews New York Times bestselling author James M. Scott about his new book "Empire of Ashes: Truman, Hirohito, and the Descent into Total War". And then fianlly, Frank Conniff of MST3K returns to joke with John and listeners on the latest news and his new show.

Guests – Glenn Kirschner, John Fugelsang, Frangela The post Stephcast 07-17 appeared first on STEPHANIE MILLER SHOW.

John discusses the upcoming primetime address by Donald Trump on election integrity. He humorously compares Trump's speech to tax tips from Willie Nelson, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. He talks about the implications of Trump's insistence on relitigating the 2020 election, raising concerns among Republicans about the potential fallout for their upcoming campaigns. He also covers the alarming rise of cyclospora cases across the U.S. and the government's failure to adequately communicate health risks to the public. Joining him are esteemed guests, like Dr. Tracy Pearson, who provides a legal and scientific lens on the recent developments in testosterone therapy for military personnel. John's humorous yet critical take on the subject raises questions about the motivations behind such policies and the implications for service members' health. Also joining him - Congressman Glenn Ivey, who shares insights on gun reform and the importance of community violence intervention programs. Additionally, attorney Andrea Flores discusses the reckless actions of ICE and the urgent need for accountability in light of recent tragic shootings. The episode wraps up with a critical examination of Todd Blanche's confirmation hearings, featuring powerful testimonies from Epstein survivors demanding justice.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John discusses Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's contentious, five-hour Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing today to permanently lead the Department of Justice. Following the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham, Republicans hold a razor-thin 11-10 committee majority. Because Democrats are united in opposition, even a single Republican "no" vote will block his nomination. Then, he interviews Victoria Kirby York from the National Black Justice Collective, who discusses the importance of advocacy for marginalized communities and the ongoing struggle for voting rights. Her passionate defense of social justice serves as a rallying cry for listeners to take action and engage in the political process. Then, John speaks with Professor of Sociology at Boston College - Charles Derber and they talk about his new book "Wired for Authoritarianism: American Oligarchies and How to Re-Wire America for the People". Next, he welcomes back Bonnie Watson Coleman, the first African American woman elected to Congress from New Jersey, who shares her experiences and insights on the current political climate. Coleman expresses her concerns about the effectiveness of checks and balances in Congress, highlighting the heartbreaking reality of political dysfunction. Her candid remarks resonate with listeners who may feel disillusioned by the current state of governance. And finally, John brings in The God Squad featuring former Pastor Desimber Rose and the "Tattooed Theologian" Dillon Naber Cruz to chat with listeners about tackling the intersection of faith and politics, and how Christian nationalism is reshaping the political landscape.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John discusses the Trump administration ordering ICE to immediately suspend most vehicle stops nationwide following a pair of high-profile fatal shootings of motorists within less than a week. In Maine, an ICE officer shot and killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian national, during an enforcement operation on Pool Street. Also, in Texas, agents in unmarked vehicles initiated a traffic stop and fatally shot 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo while he was driving his construction crew to a job site. Then, John interviews the founder of the Turquoise & Lavender Institute for Transformation and Healing and a nationally recognized leader in racial healing and spiritual transformation - Catherine Meeks, PhD. They talk about her new book "Bridging the Rivers of Difference: A Proclamation of Unity in Resistance". Next, John welcomes back former MSNBC host, award winning Journalist, host of the Joy Reid show on YouTube, and author of the Substack Joy's House - the one and only Joy Reid. They talk about the survival of media and religion in this Trumpian world of division and hate. Then winding it up, comedians Rhonda Hansome and Keith Price team up to joke with John and listeners about the erasure of history, the ICE shootings, and Broadway.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guests – Glenn Kirschner, John Fugelsang, Hal Sparks The post Stephcast 07-10-26 appeared first on STEPHANIE MILLER SHOW.

As John gears up for his new daytime slot on Sirius XM, his monologue features a whirlwind of topics, from Mitch McConnell's mysterious health issues, to the confusion around Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner dropping out of the race, to the absurdity of Trump's foreign policy blunders, including his latest gaffes at the NATO summit where he confused world leaders, confused countries, and fell asleep in front of everyone multiple times. Then, he welcomes back actor and podcast star Bob Cesca to joke about Trump's clear and obvious dementia spilling from his lips like a flood in Ankara at NATO. Next, John brings back The God Squad—Dillon Naber Cruz and Desimber Rose—for a brisk discussion on the intersection of faith and politics, tackling everything from the Curse of Ham to the bizarre antics of far-right Christian nationalists. And of course, John is joined by the insightful legal analyst - Dr. Tracy Pearson, who helps unpack the implications of all these events, including the lack of transparency surrounding Mitch McConnell's health and the potential consequences for the Republican Party.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John tackles the ongoing mystery surrounding Mitch McConnell's health and the implications it has on the Senate. The lack of transparency regarding McConnell's condition raises crucial questions about political accountability and the public's right to know about their representatives. Then, he discusses the Trump Meme Coin—a cryptocurrency venture that has left many investors reeling. With reports indicating that nearly a million buyers lost huge amounts of money, he argues that Trump's business model resembles a "pump and dump" scheme, where he profits regardless of the coin's performance, leaving his supporters in financial ruin. Then, John interviews the CEO and Executive Editor of Lincoln Square - Susan J. Demas. They talk about the political turmoil surrounding Graham Platner, the Maine Senate candidate who has found himself at the center of controversy due to sexual assault allegations. He discusses the mixed reactions from the public, with some expressing outrage while others feel relief at potentially dodging a bullet. Next, he speaks with author and political strategist Blake Ashby about his new book "Socialism and the Democratic Party: The Case for a Return to Moderated Capitalism". Then, winding it up, John welcomes back comedian Keith Price to chat with listeners about the latest news and pop culture.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John talks about the neo-fascist, white supremacist hate group Patriot Front marching through Washington DC during festivities on the 4th. They were carrying confederate flags and they wore uniform khakis, blue shirts, sunglasses, and tan caps bearing the Patriot Front logo. They used white masks and balaclavas to conceal their faces because they are true cowards. He also discusses a woman who is now accusing Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner of sexual assault and rape during their relationship. Next, comedian Rhonda Hansome joins the crew for a wrap up of the holiday festivities. And finally, Professor Corey Brettschneider is back to chat about recent Supreme Court rulings, Trump's crypto scams, and the erosion of the free press. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John invites listeners to share their thoughts and feelings about the 4th of July holiday, encouraging those who feel disillusioned to find joy in alternative ways of celebrating. He also touches on pressing current events, including Mitch McConnell's recent health scare and the implications of Trump's controversial fundraising tactics during America's 250th birthday celebration. He critiques how Trump managed to turn a national celebration into a personal fundraising opportunity. Then he talks about the recent developments surrounding the Justice Department and the Jack Smith report, highlighting the irony of the government's blunders as they pursue legal action against others. Then, John speaks with Professor Robin Andersen about Palestine and the situation in Gaza. Through an exhaustive review of reporting on the genocide, Andersen exposes how the corporate media used misleading language, failed to convey basic facts, and showed bias toward slef-serving Israeli narratives--even afther they had been decisively disproven. The journalistic malpractice ranges from extreme bias to deliberately omitting vital context, to treating known fabricators as reliable sources. The information gap left by the mainstream press was filled by independent media outlets and Palestinian journalists. Free from structural pressures to cast Israel in the most favorable light, they produced honest and unsparing reporting that shocked the world and changed public opinion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John opens the episode with a funny yet poignant commentary on the current state of the nation, juxtaposing the joyous celebrations of the Fourth of July with the realities of political polarization and social injustice. He emphasizes the importance of separating the ideals of America from its leaders, urging listeners to appreciate the foundational principles of democracy while acknowledging the ongoing struggles for justice and equality. John then talks with democratic strategist Max Burns and they explore the evolution of presidential power over the decades, noting that the trend towards executive authority has been a gradual shift rather than a sudden change. They discuss how Trump has contributed to this phenomenon, raising questions about the balance of power and the role of Congress in holding the executive accountable. Next, he interviews historian Professor Peter Onuf to discuss the enduring legacy of Thomas Jefferson. Together, they explore the complexities of Jefferson's character, from his role as a champion of liberty to the contradictions of his slaveholding past. And lastly, he speaks with historian Jamar Tisby, who passionately argues that Christians have a moral obligation to tell the truth about America's past. Tisby highlights the dangers of historical myths and the need for a truthful reckoning with our history, particularly regarding slavery and civil rights.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He discusses the recent lawsuit filed by former CIA Director John Brennan, emphasizing the political implications behind the investigation into his actions. Then, he delves into Trump's corruption, particularly his financial dealings in the cryptocurrency space. Next, he critiques the way these issues are used as political tools to distract from more pressing economic concerns. He argues that the focus on transgender rights and immigration serves to rally voters around fear rather than addressing the real challenges facing the American public. He speaks about the recent Supreme Court decisions, dissecting the implications for various communities and the broader impact of these rulings on American society. And, he jokes about the Great American State Fair, a metaphor for the current state of the nation. He is joined by his usual Wednesday night line-up: political commentator Bob Cesca, The God Squad with Dillon Naber Cruz and Desimber Rose, and legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time, John talks about the Supreme Court officially concluding its October 2025 term with a wave of major rulings on birthright citizenship, executive power, transgender athletes, and campaign finance. They spiked the rights of transgender youth and they barely preserved birthright citizenship. Then, he interviews Josh Fox who's best known as the Oscar-nominated, Emmy-winning writer/director of GasLand. He is also internationally recognized as a spokesperson and leader on the issue of and climate change. They discuss his latest documentary THE WELCOME TABLE which is out now on HBO. Next, John speaks with Ida Susser. She has conducted ethnographic research in the U.S., Southern Africa and Puerto Rico, France and Spain with respect to urban social movements and the urban commons, gender, the global AIDS epidemic and environmental movements. They talk about her upcoming book, THE YELLOW VESTS AND THE BATTLE FOR DEMOCRACY, in which Susser offers the first in-depth examination of a movement that defies easy classification and challenges us to reimagine politics. Then lastly, comedian Keith Price returns to joke with John and listeners on pop culture and the ever imploding world of Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John discusses the Supreme Court ruling the White House has extraordinary leeway in the hiring and firing of agency staff across the executive branch, thoroughly weakening independent oversight. Interestingly, the one HR case the Supreme Court ruled against Trump was the dismissal of Lisa Cook at the Federal Reserve. SCOTUS also rejected Trump's appeal of the E. Jean Carroll verdict and payout, and ruled that Mississippi's law demanding a grace period for mail-in ballots is good and upheld. Next, Professor Corey Brettschneider returns to explain the legal factoids of the SCOTUS rulings. And last but not least - comedian Rhonda Hansome joins the fun and speaks with listeners about the SCOTUS rulings, the unfair State fair, and the petulance of The Donald.

John discusses the Supreme Court giving the thumbs up to Trump's plans to end protected status and potentially deport 350k Haitian immigrants. He emphasizes the resilience of immigrants who have built lives in the United States, only to face the threat of deportation and he highlights the hypocrisy of the right who claim to support hard-working immigrants while simultaneously spreading harmful stereotypes. John also talks about the recent escalation of tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the implications of California's billionaire tax measure making it to the November ballot. Next, he interviews Dr. David Johns, CEO of the National Black Justice Collective, who discusses the alarming rise in anti-LGBTQ incidents and the challenges faced by elected officials from marginalized backgrounds. Then finally, TV's Frank Conniff is back to joke with listeners about pop culture and politics.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time, we journey back to the late 1980s and early 1990s, a transformative period in American culture marked by intense debates over art and expression. John interviews author Isaac Butler about his new book, "The Perfect Moment," which explains how the culture wars of that era shaped today's political landscape. Isaac discusses how artists like Robert Mapplethorpe and Andres Serrano became symbols in the fight for freedom of expression, and how the tactics used by conservatives during these battles are still relevant in the current discourse around LGBTQ rights and artistic expression. Then, John interviews Nicole Robinson, a Congressional Investigations associate at Covington and Burling in D.C. She discusses the challenges the Democratic Party faces in engaging younger voters, particularly African American men. Nicole shares insights on the importance of authentic relationships, effective social media strategies, and the need for a long-term engagement plan to connect with these demographics ahead of the midterms.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents three works from an evening with New Yorker author and cartoonist Roz Chast, inspired by Chast's book I Must be Dreaming.  “The Wife on Ambien,” by Ed Park, is a sort of late-night fever dream.  It's read by John Fugelsang.  In Tessa Hadley's “Bad Dreams,” images than begin in dreams envelop a family in real life.The reader is Rita Wolf.  Tom Barbash's “Stay Up With Me” charts the rocky path of an old love affair.  It's read by Jason Ralph.  And stay tuned for Chast's own weird dream life, some of which she shares in this episode.
