Tonight on TJRS: Trump tries to pardon some turkeys. The key word there
being “tries” as it seems old Dementia Don was having a hard time
staying on topic (though really, what else is new). Do you know what
Donald Trump has successfully pardoned, though? Criminals! Specifically
more than 1600 January 6ers, and more than 60 crooks and scammers,
several of whom seem to be connected financially or politically to …
Donald Trump. Meanwhile there’s trouble in MAGA land. It seems Candace
Owens and Alex Jones are none too happy with their orange cult leader.
The reasons why? Charlie Kirk and Marjorie “Bad Built” Taylor Greene…
Next, we take an extensive deep dive into Peter Theil, co-founder of
Paypal and Palentir, and the man behind the curtains of much of the MAGA
madness we are seeing today; not to mention the puppet-master who built
JD Vance. Independent documentary producer, Philip Damico, who runs the
YouTube channel, @Volksgeist
joins us in that conversation.
Then in hour two, we talk about Trumps latest bout of insulting and
degrading female journalists. We cover the life of the recently passed
Mother Viola Fletcher with Damario Solomon-Simmons, attorney for the
Tulsa three. LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, jumps on
to talk to us about her “We Ain’t Buying It” campaign. And we share our
Moment of Joy: a clip of Joy’s recent appearance on the I’ve Had It
podcast with Jennifer Welch and Pumps.
