SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWelcome to the Friday edition.The spotlight in Washington turned white hot as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced a Senate hearing that was anything but routine. The questioning was relentless. The tone was sharp. The political theater played out in full view of the country.At the same time, a hidden camera sting video surfaced showing a senior DOJ official caught in conversation about what really happens behind the scenes. The footage didn't just hint at bias. It laid out, in the official's own words, how the system can tilt the scales of justice.These two moments … one under the bright lights of Capitol Hill, the other captured in secret on video … reveal the same unsettling truth. What was once whispered in back rooms is now spilling into the open for everyone to see.When a Senate grilling makes headlines, that's politics. But when a powerful insider is caught admitting how the game is played, that's something else entirely. It is accountability arriving from the cameras nobody knew were rolling.This edition pulls those threads together. The Kennedy hearing and the DOJ sting video may seem like separate stories, but they show how trust in government is cracking more each day.For anyone paying attention, the message is impossible to ignore. These events cut through the spin and expose the raw reality of politics when the mask slips. It is not polished. It is not pretty. And it cannot be brushed aside.This episode I take you inside both stories and the bigger questions they raise about transparency, accountability, and the future of the institutions that claim to serve the public.And then I close out this episode with the latest News from the Edge of Sanity. Where the stories are unhinged but REAL.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

John discusses the sun-baked and hormonally rattled visage of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who graced the Senate Finance Committee for several hours of back and forth over the Health and Human Services Secretary's new direction for American public health. During his testimony, Kennedy told the committee he had to fire CDC Dir. Susan Monarez because she lied to Americans – unfortunately it wasn't the lies he wanted her to say. Then, he speaks with journalist Brian Karem on the Epstein files, RFK's brain functions, and Trump's waning popularity. Then lastly, John welcomes back the 2 Taras to talk politics. Tara Devlin is a comedian and the host of the Tarabuster, where she looks at news, politics and history through an unapologetically liberal lens. Tara Dublin is a comedian and author of “The Sound of Settling: A Rock & Roll Love Story”. Together Tara Devlin and Tara Dublin are the co-hosts of THE Tara Show podcast.

The Sirens of Sanity are back from summer break with a sobering dose of truth.

It's 299 episodes of clearing forests of lies with the machete of truth - assuming that the asteroid doesn't find its way into Earth first.

John discusses a judge ruling that Trump's use of the military in L.A. violated the Posse Comitatus Act.

John runs down his top picks for the biggest dick of the past week. First, a US Appeals Court ruled the majority of Donald Trump's tariffs are in fact illegal and have no standing, but it held off on enforcing any tariff repeals under the assumption the Supreme Court will soon be asked for a ruling. Second, Secretary of Defense Pete Kegsbreath ordered that all D.C. National Guard troops be armed. Third, D.C. Attorney Jeanine Pirro decided that people carrying weapons in D.C. won't face felony gun charges anymore. Fourth, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Steven Miller saying the crackdown in D.C. was to protect black residents. and fifth, Snoop Dogg saying he was uncomfortable with a cartoon lesbian couple in the new Disney movie "Lightyear".

Send us a textBuckle up for a hilariously unhinged episode of Entertain This!, where we strap on our best face-swapping tech to roast the gloriously absurd Face/Off (1997). John Woo's action fever dream stars John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, who trade faces faster than you can say “identity crisis” in a plot that defies logic, physics, and good taste. Our hosts cackle through the film's bonkers premise, from Travolta's unconvincing bad-guy strut to Cage's unhinged scenery-chewing that deserves its own Oscar category. We'll poke fun at the dove-filled slow-mo shootouts, the questionable science of face transplants, and the sheer audacity of a movie that asks, “What if two dudes literally swapped lives… and nobody noticed?”  Is Face/Off a cinematic masterpiece or a gloriously deranged fever dream? Join us as we mock, marvel, and maybe secretly adore this '90s relic. Warning: listening may cause an urge to dramatically peel off your own face.Stream now on all platforms, and join the chaos on X, Instagram, or TikTok @EntertainThis_Call Me By Your Gamea nostalgic video game podcastListen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Gaming BlenderWe mash genres.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIt's Friday, and I'm back with another edition of A World Gone Mad. Some weeks the headlines just drift past…but this week, they hit with the force of a wrecking ball. What you're about to hear isn't spin, it's reality colliding with power in ways that should make every one of us stop and pay attention.I start with a story that goes beyond politics as usual. It's about the last place Americans thought they could still find truth…and how that foundation has been ripped apart in a matter of days. People with decades of service and reputations built on science stood their ground, and they paid the price. That alone tells you how deep the rot runs.Then I take you across the Atlantic, where a strike wasn't just an attack on Ukraine. It was a carefully staged message aimed straight at Europe's institutions. The death toll was brutal, but the symbolism was even louder. Europe has been put on notice…and the response is already moving from words to weapons.These aren't just “big stories.” They're turning points. They're the kind of moments that reveal what happens when truth is sidelined, when loyalty matters more than facts, and when the people in power bet that you won't notice. My job is to make sure you do notice.That's what this podcast is about: stripping away the excuses and saying what too many others won't. I'm not here to comfort the powerful. I'm here to hold up the mirror and ask if this is really the country we want to live in.But Fridays are also for breathing room…because nobody can stare at chaos all week without needing a release valve. That's why I bring you News from the Edge of Sanity: a chance to laugh, shake your head, and wonder how the world manages to outdo satire every single time.From government shake-ups to the bizarre sideshows of everyday life, I'll take you through it all. No filters, no sugar-coating, just the sharp edges and the absurd corners that define the week we just lived through.So plug in, press play, and let's close this week the way only A World Gone Mad can…with honesty, outrage, and just enough insanity to remind us we're still standing.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

Revelation’s 7 Seals: “Keeping Our Faith & Sanity,” Introduction, pt 2 Psalm 137:1-6 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 1 By the rivers of Babylon— there we sat down, and there we wept when we remembered Zion. 2 On the willows there we hung up our harps. 3 For there our captors asked us for […]

John's monologue focuses on hundreds of employees at the CDC staging a walk-out in protest of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The protest comes the morning after Kennedy fired the director of the CDC, reportedly over Covid vaccine policy changes Kennedy demanded. The firing in turn sparked four other high profile resignations from the massively important public health monitor. Then, he talks with democratic strategist Ameshia Cross about current news and Trump's evil doings. Then lastly, John welcomes back Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella for their indigenous segment We're Still Here. They discuss the mass shooting at the Catholic school in Minneapolis and the Choctaw vampire hunters from the movie "Sinners".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 latest mass shooting. Two children were killed, 8 and 10 years old, and 17 others were hurt when a gunman opened fire on a Minneapolis catholic school. Before the rampage began, the shooter posted a manifesto to YouTube espousing solidarity and admiration for previous massacres and far-right ideologues. Then, he speaks with podcast star Bob Cesca about Trump's socialistic move purchasing 10% of Intel and Trump's executive order making flag burning illegal. And finally, Desimber Rose and Dillon Naber Cruz return for another installment of The God Squad and they talk about the Minneapolis catholic school shooting.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
