The new book, "Class Warfare in Black Atlanta," explores Atlanta's transformative political history from 1966 onwards and gives a critique of the city’s leadership. “Closer Look,” host Rose Scott, talks with author Augustus Wood, a scholar of African American History of the Urban South and assistant professor in the School of Labor and Employment Relations at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Professor Wood talks about his new book and why he feels it’s important to give vision and agency to Black workers. Plus, there’s a lot of political news happening across the Peach State. We hear from Devin Barrington-Ward, a former candidate for Atlanta City Council, a progressive community organizer and the managing director of the Black Futurists Group, GSU politics and policy professor Tammy Greer and Atlanta-based political strategist and analyst Fred Hicks. They provide analysis and reflection on everything from the 2026 Georgia gubernatorial race, the recent deadly shooting at the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, former Lieutenant Governor of Georgia Geoff Duncan’s latest move to switch political parties and more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Comedian and school teacher Pej Ahmadi makes his debut on the podcast. Randy kicks off by asking Pej about Iran, so Pej gives a little history lesson on Persia. They talk about the current situation in the Middle East and how everyone has an opinion, even if they know absolutely nothing about the region. Pej talks about his family fleeing Iran and being a refugee in the US. The boys get into a discussion about racism and bigotry and how other countries have to deal with it as part of their culture more than most Americans think. Randy asks Pej what it's like being an elementary school teacher. They shift back to discuss the 1979 Iranian revolution. Pej starts a conversation about money and politics and how financial interests are what really controls American politics. Randy asks about how he got his start in comedy and being a musician. The guys touch on the Israel-Iran conflict before closing with the news for the week - 50% of women in relationships have a back-up partner plan in mind, a chef was fired for telling a social media influencer she isn't famous enough to get a free meal, and a new study suggests women are usually right in relationship arguments. 00:00 Intro 01:00 Iran and Persians in California 05:00 Being a Refugee in America 19:00 Racism Abroad 24:00 Teaching and Education in America 31:00 Childhood and Growing Up Today 40:00 Money and Politics 48:00 Starting in Comedy 1:00:00 The Weekly News Outro: “Funk Doctor” by Gee Dubs Social Media: Instagram: @randyvalerio @readysetblowpodcast Twitter: @randytvalerio @readysetblowpodcast TikTok: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpod YouTube: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpodcast #comedypodcast #comedy #podcast #news #advice #standup #standupcomedy #comedian #jokes #politics #relationships #dating #marriage #kids #family #parenting #iran #persia #iranian #persian #middleeast #israel #history #education #children #student #teacher #school #parents #war #conflict #money #racism #immigration #immigrants #refugees #childhood #teacher #teaching #growingup #parenting
We discuss a viral street fight in Cincinnati and how it became a talking point for Ohio politicians.
In this episode, Jeff returns after a few weeks off — and explains how one press conference in Chicago spiraled into a fabricated international incident with the Mexican government. Representing Ovidio Guzmán (El Chapo's son) became less about legal defense and more about being scapegoated by terrified politicians. In the end, free speech and the truth will always shine through. And the Mexican people? Jeff notes that his respect for them has grown exponentially.Also covered: Hamas' newest PR strategy — letting Gaza starve while hoarding food in tunnels and filming propaganda videos of emaciated kids (whose fat parents are somehow not starving). The lies grow louder, the propaganda slicker, and yet Western liberal and far-right Jew haters just can't stop blaming Israel and taking it out on Jews. All while the next mayor of NYC will be a Hamas cheerleader who wants government-owned supermarkets and to arrest the Prime Minster of Israel. The downward spiral that began in 2008 nears completion.And finally, Jeff goes full collector mode: a breakdown of the baseball card National Show in Chicago. Too many rooms, too many scammers, but one glorious vintage Orioles cabinet card makes the entire hellscape worth it.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: In addition to being possibly the biggest superstar of professional wrestling, Hogan was also a racist and a fraud artist whose major legacy was his willingness to commit perjury as the plaintiff serving as the front person for Peter Thiel's successful campaign to abuse the legal system and the power differential, that comes with a reactionary billionaire class, to destroy Gawker, where I worked at the time, and to set the template for the Trump administration's current omnidirectional assault on the media, higher education, and pretty much everything else.

The boys move on to discuss the latest Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory news. They shift gears and touch base on their comedy career goals.

This leads to a random conversation about the super wealthy and buying private islands. Dean shares a story about the homeless guy living outside of his Hollywood apartment building. Randy asks Dean about his views on immigration which leads to a little debate on deportations. Dean talks a bit about the random terrible jobs he had before getting into comedy. The fellas close the show with the news - A study shows that the smell of donuts is a turn-on for men, the average American man spends $2,300 a year on dates, and quitting your job is better for your health than quitting smoking. 00:00 Intro 00:30 Cruise Ship Secrets 11:00 Jeffrey Epstein Update 15:00 Comedy Career Goals 23:00 Adults Only Vacations 29:00 Buying Private Islands 40:00 Hollywood Homeless 46:00 Deportation Debate 51:00 Terrible Jobs 55:00 Dealing Drugs 1:00:00 Weekly News Update Outro: “Funk Doctor” by Gee Dubs Social Media: Instagram: @randyvalerio @readysetblowpodcast Twitter: @randytvalerio @readysetblowpodcast TikTok: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpod YouTube: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpodcast #comedypodcast #comedy #podcast #news #advice #standup #standupcomedy #comedian #jokes #politics #relationships #dating #cruise #carnivalcruise #cruiseship #cruises #jeffreyepstein #epstein #epsteinlist #epsteincase #epsteinisland #epsteinlist #epsteinfiles #conspiracytheory #conspiracy #career #careergoals #vacation #adult #adultsonly #privateisland #realestate #wealthy #rich #billionaire #hollywood #homeless #homelessness #immigration #deportation #massdeportations #badjobs #jobs #terriblejobs #donut #turnon #datingadvice #datingtips #quityourjob #quitting #health #healthy #ai #onlyfans

In this special Fourth of July episode, we're talking about The Big Beautiful Bill—yes, it passed, and yes, it's time to get on board. While I normally support smaller, single-issue legislation (so we can actually see what's in these bills), there's still a lot to be excited about here. From major investments in border security to a strong push toward deporting illegal immigrants, this bill takes some long-overdue steps in the right direction.Sure, there are parts that could've been better—and no surprise, Elon Musk isn't thrilled because it didn't personally benefit him as much as he hoped—but overall, I agree with the majority of what's in it.Tune in as we break down the good and the bad inside The Big Beautiful Bill—and what it means for the future of our country.Happy Fourth of July, and let's keep America strong.

Welfare Bill Revolt SINKS Starmer — 120 Labour MPs Rebel | Labour Crisis #JonGaunt #WelfareBill #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #LabourParty Jon Gaunt breaks down the explosive Welfare Bill revolt, as 120 Labour MPs rebel against Keir Starmer's leadership. This unprecedented internal revolt could sink Starmer's leadership and trigger a full-scale Labour Party crisis. Starmer loses either way. If he wins the actual vote he is still the loser as this is clearly a vote of confidence on his first 12 months in office. He has made more missteps than a fat TV personality on Strictly! Winter fuel allowance U-Turn, VAT on private schools, calling Southport protestors Far Right, Lucy Connolly, Ukraine, Not backing Trump on Iran and plenty more. He has the worst poll ratings of any PM in history. Can he survive? What does this mean for UK politics in 2025? And with Starmer's position now under intense pressure, who could replace him? Angela Rayner? Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Manchester? Or Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London? Gaunty examines the political fallout, party divisions, and the battle for Labour's future.

Randy is joined by fellow comedian Scott Manke. The guys jump right into the deep-end of an AI discussion, and they both came to the conclusions humans are doomed. Scott wonders what everyone is going to do when ChatGPT makes them unemployed. This leads to a conversation about income inequality, the ultra-wealthy, and what the right way to be a billionaire is. Randy asks Scott about how he got into comedy and his style. The fellas break down some jokes and bombing on stage. They close with the news - Aging apparently happens in 3 big stages, and Grindr threatens to release a list of conservatives who use their app if Florida doesn't stop passing anti-gay laws.

In this podcast Jeff discusses a moment he never dreamed would occur: Iran's nuclear facilities were destroyed by America and Iran is finally punished for its global terror. Every President from Carter through Biden looked the other way or appeased Iran's terrorism — Trump did not. Jeff eats some crow but points out the MAGA leading voices who sided with the Muslim terror state that tried to kill our President. And an update on Jeff's federal fraud sentencing before his fraternity brother. It was a hoot, it was surreal and it brought back a lot of memories.

Comedian and new podcast editor Christian Paolo is on the show. The boys open the show discussing corporate greed. They talk about the current political climate, the protests, Trump's recent policy moves and how times were better when talking politics in public was considered rude. The guys move on to discuss “grind culture” and how fake social media is. Christian talks about being raised in an Italian family, which leads to a chat about corruption and the Mafia. Randy brings up relationships and what people find attractive. The fellas move on to a conversation about the war in the Middle East and chat about international relations. They close with the news - A study suggests adulthood doesn't start until your 30's, and Chinese companies hire white guys as fake executives so the company seems more prestigious. 00:00 Intro 02:00 Corporate Greed 10:00 Trump and the Current Political Climate 24:00 Social Media and Grind Culture 30:00 Corruption and the Mafia 52:00 The Middle East and International Relations 01:08:00 The Weekly News Outro: “Funk Doctor” by Gee Dubs Social Media: Instagram: @randyvalerio @readysetblowpodcast Twitter: @randytvalerio @readysetblowpodcast TikTok: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpod YouTube: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpodcast #comedypodcast #comedy #podcast #podcastclips #comedyvideo #news #advice #standup #standupcomedy #comedian #jokes #politics #politicalnews #trump #maga #donaldtrump #protest #corporategreed #grind #grindculture #riseandgrind #italian #corruption #mafia #mob #relationships #attraction #war #israel #iran #middleeast #adult #adulting #china #fake #fakenews #socialmedia #mentalhealth
This week Jeff opens with the long-awaited Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, a dazzling military operation years in the making. But instead of support for Israel, Jeff is stunned by the response: hatred not only from the far left but now pouring out of MAGA's biggest names. Yes, the Trump-right has joined Hamas and the progressive left in their obsessive Jew hatred, and Jeff is seething.Trump, meanwhile, couldn't resist taking credit for the Israeli success after the fact, even though he reportedly tried to block the strike for months. And if he actually helped, why didn't he greenlight American B-52s to finish the job on the underground nuke sites? Why is he trying to make a huge deal when the world's biggest sponsor of terror is on its knees?Also this week: a tale of how a young lawyer buying his first suits comes full circle 30 years later, this time as a man paying cash with 44 tailored suits under his belt. Plus, Jeff faces a federal judge he went to college with and admits, despite all of his own accomplishments, the judge is the better man.As always, Jeff pulls no punches. Not for MAGA. Not for Trump. Not for the far left. And certainly not for anyone siding with the world's worst terror regime.

In this segment, Mark is joined by Brian Kilmeade, the Co-Host of Fox and Friends, the Host of One Nation with Brian Kilmeade, and the Host of The Brian Kilmeade Show. They discuss the turmoil occurring in Los Angeles, illegal immigration, and other trending political issues.
In this episode, we dive deep into the constitutional showdown between President Trump and California Governor Newsom over the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles without state consent. We break down the complex legal battle involving Title 10 authority, the Posse Comitatus Act, and the 10th Amendment, featuring insights from top constitutional scholars and legal experts who are split on whether Trump has the authority to override a sitting governor. We also explore the dramatic political breakup between Trump and Elon Musk over a $2.4 trillion spending bill, the escalating immigration raids that sparked violent protests in LA, and the broader implications for federal-state relations. From Trump praising the National Guard hours before they even arrived, to threatening to arrest Governor Newsom, to the Justice Department's push to unwind decades-old desegregation orders - we examine how multiple constitutional crises are unfolding simultaneously. Plus: TikTok star Khaby Lame's surprise ICE detention, new military zones at the border, sanctions on International Criminal Court judges, and Russia's massive drone attack on Ukraine. Join us for "Research on a Dime" as we unpack the precedents being set that will echo far beyond this administration.https://linktr.ee/purplepoliticalbreakdown

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: On the front of this morning's New York Times, four columns wide, is a picture of a greeting between the lawless strongman leader of a corrupt petrostate and Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, as the latter stretches out his hands to welcome Donald Trump. “During President Trump's first term,” the piece begins, “the idea that special interests and governments were buying meals and booking rooms at his hotels set off legal and ethical alarms about the potential for corruption. Mr. Trump's second term is making those concerns look trivial.” Or you could just say, during President Trump's first term, special interests and governments bought meals and booked rooms at his hotels. Mr. Trump's second term is making those dealings look trivial. See? Please visit, read, and support INDIGNITY! https://www.indignity.net/
