A More Perfect Union (TL679) 11/11/2026

A More Perfect Union (TL679) The lame duck session underway, the new Congress several dangerous weeks away. Allies in the halls of power challenge Dem leaders who are flouting their own voters. Let’s keep our attention focused, it’s our power. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43731999

President Miller (TL678) 11/09/2026

President Miller (TL678) The midterms produced a new crop of lawmakers, but we didn’t expect a new president! Is this a political realignment, or what? Affordability, accountability and reform: expectations for the new Congress. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43678644

We The People (ep.27) 11/07/2026

Quiet, Piggy! (TL677) 11/05/2026

Quiet, Piggy! (TL677) The American people gave a big middle finger to fascism. Now we have to pressure the Democratic Party to make it stick. Corporate Dems are already signaling they haven’t learned a damn thing. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43648169

Running Scared (TL676) 11/01/2026

Running Scared (TL676) Seances failed to reach Houdini for the 100th straight year. If you’re scared of midterm results, add a possible AI crash or an “insane” military strike. And yes, Obama insulted The Cheesecake Factory; the response was intensely racist. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43581934

Vote, Vote, Vote-Oh-Dee-Yo-Vote! (TL675) 10/29/2026

Vote, Vote, Vote-Oh-Dee-Yo-Vote! (TL675) Let elections abroad be an example to U.S. Democrats. To my friends in Wisconsin, if you want to stop MAGA at the border you know what to do. The plan for fighting gestapo goons at your polling place. Corporate news misses vital stories; reconsider your sources. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43520444

The Time Of Monsters (TL674) 10/25/2026

The Time Of Monsters (TL674) Musk, Vance, Ramaswamy? Is this who we want? The Internet, including banking, under threat—time to unplug. Global protests, crackdowns, a system gasping its last breath—time to re-indigenize. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43438519

We The People (ep.26) 10/24/2026

We The People (ep.26) We The People: Songs of Freedom, Justice, and Solidarity! (ep.26) Host: Peter Donalds. For this week’s playlist and links to all episodes visit our . /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43428934

The Danger Zone (TL673) 10/21/2026

The Danger Zone (TL673) The tragic death of a U.S. airman in a stupid and senseless recruiting stunt. Some good news on the data center front. They’re going hard after Ilhan Omar. The 60-day window where the constitution may be in for a fight. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43395404

Reconsidering Positions (TL672) 10/19/2026

Reconsidering Positions (TL672) As early voting begins: Zacharia out-Scaramucci’s them all. Fact checking Wisconsin’s $60 million lies. Miller/Vought and the techno-fascist oligarchs are letting the Orange Menace play in his WWIII sandbox. What do they care? In fact, they may prefer it. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43344024

Seriously Crazy (TL671) 10/15/2026

Seriously Crazy (TL671) The Orange Menace, Putin and Musk are tag-teaming Ukraine. Katie Zacharia’s hilariously preposterous debut. Did Ukraine really destroy Russian troll bots? On Indigenous Peoples Day, hope for the universal resurrection of native practices. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43297669

Election Insecurity (TL670) 10/12/2026

Election Insecurity (TL670) Under the guise of “election security” the old band is back to rig the midterms. The muscle of martial law is also being readied. Of course the regime has no legal power, only raw. Here’s what we can do. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43246283

We The People (ep.25) 10/10/2026

We The People (ep.25) We The People: Songs of Freedom, Justice, and Solidarity! (ep.25) Host: Peter Donalds. For this week’s playlist and links to all episodes visit our . /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43226838

Money, Votes, and Lies (TL669) 10/07/2026

Money, Votes, and Lies (TL669) Is it really “the economy, stupid” when it blinds voters to fascist threats? Also, elections don’t matter—until they do. And our most powerful weapon is the truth, so, sorry, the Orange Menace didn’t say what you think he said. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43217348

Democracy for Dummies (TL668) 10/04/2026

Democracy for Dummies (TL668) We aren't meant to be experts on every shifting news cycle, political policy, or complex technology. In a true democracy of shared wealth and equal power, elected officials and elite specialists will be valuable servants, not invincible tyrants. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43159208

None Of This Is Normal (TL667) 10/01/2026

None Of This Is Normal (TL667) Taxpayer paid political ads, impeachment articles filed, lame duck Repugs might figure, “hey, what the hell.” Is AI the new Covid? Indicting judges, rigging elections, shooting a person in the back then charging THEM with the crime: pure fascism. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43114813

Defeating Tech and Tyranny (TL666) 09/28/2026

Defeating Tech and Tyranny (TL666) Shut down AI development until it is one thousand percent in the hands of the people. Also: No one is doing more harm to Jewish people around the world than genocidal neo-colonialist Benjamin Netanyahu. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43046548

We The People (ep.24) 09/26/2026

America is Dead, Long Live America (TL665) 09/23/2026

America is Dead, Long Live America (TL665) The Epstein-Hegseth connection in Congress. Far-right victories in Germany are a warning for Democrats to solidify their coalition. The Orange Menace war-crimes-ridden UN address marks the official end of America’s authority on the world stage. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/43012453

Six Degrees of Why (TL664) 09/21/2026

Six Degrees of Why (TL664) Escalating wars, US concentration camps, a spiraling economy… our inability to escape this muddle is proof our current systems are broken. We have to look deeper, to question the fundamental assumptions that created the very problems we’re trying to solve. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/42962408

It’s Time To Win (TL663) 09/17/2026

It’s Time To Win (TL663) AI warnings have finally hit the fan. Is it as dire as they say? I don’t know, but I’ve heard enough. Shut it down until enforceable regulations are in place. And, Democrats, you’re playing with a lead, don’t play not to lose. Run up the score, win big. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/42936047

Kids These Days! (TL662) 09/14/2026

Kids These Days! (TL662) Like rats in a cage, our children’s fractured lives are the inevitable result of the grotesque world we've built for them. Also, the right-left spectrum is becoming obsolete. Let’s get together and embrace the 80/20 issues: tax the rich, legalize weed, f**k AI... /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/42885430

We The People (ep.23) 09/13/2026

The Myths and Sins of Post-9/11 (TL661) 09/10/2026

The Myths and Sins of Post-9/11 (TL661) On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, don’t let them mythologize the doomed and deadly “war on terror” or package our shared grief into cheap sentimentality and sell it back to us for cash. Also: We always hear “that’s not who we are." Nope, this is exactly who we are. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/42850105

We’ve Got Work To Do (TL660) 09/07/2026

We’ve Got Work To Do (TL660) Craven Dems join red-baiting Repugs in a resolution to suppress votes, speech, and thought. Don’t put your ballot in the hands of the Regime, they’ll trash it. Speaking of trash, tear down all the DC Dictator Chic. Plus, our annual Labor Day reminder: work is good, jobs are bad. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/42786320

Hasan Piker Is a F*#%ing Hero (TL659) 09/03/2026

Hasan Piker Is a F*#%ing Hero (TL659) Bootlicking pols and corporate media are misappropriating “antisemitism” and lying about “socialism” to attack the New American Left. Also, it’s important to identify when the problem to solve is upstream or downstream. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/42717300

The Only Way Out (TL658) 08/31/2026

The Only Way Out (TL658) There is no such thing as a “natural” disaster, only the catastrophic results of reckless and oppressive power. Driven by our instinct for survival and a conscious dialectic, we can create an open-border, anti-fascist, populist movement for a real democracy. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/42614235

We The People (ep.22) 08/29/2026

We The People (ep.22) We The People: Songs of Freedom, Justice, and Solidarity! (ep.22) Host: Peter Donalds. For this week’s playlist and links to all episodes visit our . /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/42576300

To Save the Union (TL657) 08/26/2026

To Save the Union (TL657) He went to Jared! What the hell? Our three-course assignment: 1) undo the damage, 2) hold Repugs accountable, and 3) advance the bold agenda demanded by voters. Oh, and there’s only one choice for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/42569685

No Way to Run a Country (TL656) 08/23/2026

No Way to Run a Country (TL656) The American financial system is one big con. On the immigration debate, one side is worse but both are wrong. And the Orange Menace’s economic war against the people of Cuba and Iran are crimes against humanity. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/42522850
