Have Your Hot Dog With a Blindfold (TL646) 07/02/2026

Have Your Hot Dog With a Blindfold (TL646) To be proud of the United States On this 250th requires a huge denial of reality. SCOTUS knows the assignment: to advance the 50-year project of Authoritarian White Christian Nationalism. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41926230

Labels and Lies (TL645) 06/29/2026

Labels and Lies (TL645) After primary wins by Democratic Socialists, establishment pols and pundits are trying to scare you with baseless red-baiting and mudslinging lies. Don’t let them. Also, I agree with the Orange Menace, the housing bill is “of minor importance.” /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41853080

Big Data, Big Ag, Big Profit (TL644) 06/25/2026

Big Data, Big Ag, Big Profit (TL644) The regime is committing digital espionage at home and digital colonialism abroad. We are rapidly–and permanently–losing our groundwater to Big Ag. The only solution: local sustainable farming outside the apparatus of profit. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41798740

Hope, Clarity, and Democracy (TL643) 06/22/2026

Hope, Clarity, and Democracy (TL643) The United States is not a democracy, but it’s not for the reason your crazy uncle thinks. The Obama Center opening and the NY Knicks celebration were excellent displays of America at its best. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41715335

The Biggest Loser (TL642) 06/18/2026

The Biggest Loser (TL642) When Democrats win Congress they must govern big for the people AND hold the regime accountable for its crimes. Let’s be honest about what’s happening. He lost his stupid war, he’s history’s biggest loser, but he’s still dangerous. (Photo by Julia Demaree Nikhinson, AP) /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41681630

Breaking News (TL641) 06/15/2026

Breaking News (TL641) The Graham Platner drama confirms the need for government reform, the folly of ‘breaking news’ out of Iran, and we check in on the stories that define our time. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41633625

AI is People! (TL640) 06/11/2026

AI is People! (TL640) Let artificial intelligence do the grunt work and allow us to be human again. How? Abolish profit and establish indigenous governance. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41604620

Operation Epic Failure (TL639) 06/08/2026

Operation Epic Failure (TL639) He’s nuts, he’s a failure, and when he finally falls off the cliff the billionaires and their apparatchiks will rush over and pretend to push. Then they'll continue their half-century takeover. We must starve them out. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41564760

We The People (ep.18) 06/06/2026

Yell At Your Boss (TL638) 06/04/2026

Yell At Your Boss (TL638) Scott Pelley sets the bar, multiple courts smack down the Orange Menace, new top spy is looking for dirt on you and me, a broken U.S. elections system in desperate need of reform, and we rifle through the Friday trash. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41527915

Talk Plain, Govern Big (TL637) 06/01/2026

Talk Plain, Govern Big (TL637) Politicians, no one wants to hear your dime store pseudo-psychology on the meaning of life. Do your job protecting our social and economic rights and we’ll do the rest. Also: Save your brain, f&#k AI and put pen to paper! /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41484845

We The People (ep.17) 05/30/2026

Pontiff-icating (TL636) 05/28/2026

Pontiff-icating (TL636) Pope Leo XIV writes forcefully on the ethics of AI but even the pontiff himself doesn’t dare to put God before private enterprise. Dozens of innocents are dying in American gulags, many by their own hand. Will lame duck Repugnants help to sabotage the Regime? /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41445830

Man In Box (TL635) 05/24/2026

Man In Box (TL635) Political theory from an indigenous perspective. Colbert, SNL and the Democrats can’t save us. Shame on the warmongers who callously exploit those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41410115

We The People (ep.16) 05/23/2026

The New Standing Army (TL634) 05/21/2026

The New Standing Army (TL634) The Orange Regime’s stolen tax-payer “fund” will pay handsome salaries to their new class of professional henchmen. Also, some needed perspective on the outrageous assault on Cuba and how the midterms are shaping up to be a battle of real versus fake populists. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41368465

A Sickening Display (TL633) 05/18/2026

A Sickening Display (TL633) The China summit confirms the whole global order is repulsively unnatural. RFK Jr’s dysfunctional HHS has public health prominently featured in recent headlines. Spoiler alert: we’re doing it wrong. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41318410

We The People (ep.15) 05/16/2026

Let Them Eat Ballroom (TL632) 05/14/2026

Let Them Eat Ballroom (TL632) Blame Democrats for MAGA’s abysmal—and tacky—reign. UK elections tell us voters don’t want the mushy middle. Also: teargassing kids, harassing immigrants, political shenanigans in Pennsylvania, and other stories we’re not going to talk about. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41284560

The New Blue Wave (TL631) 05/10/2026

The New Blue Wave (TL631) The Regime calls us terrorists and declares the right to jail or even kill us on sight. Don’t believe me? Read their ‘counterterrorism’ strategy. Dems must go max on redistricting and then resurrect the New Deal/Great Society agenda. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41241635

We The People (ep.14) 05/09/2026

If I Had a Billion Dollars (TL630) 05/07/2026

If I Had a Billion Dollars (TL630) It looks like a cool one billion tax dollars will go to the abominable ballroom. Global food insecurity could increase by 45 million people if this stupid war doesn’t end right damn now. A legal strategy to put the whole Repugnant criminal enterprise in jail. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41197135

Schrödinger's War (TL629) 05/04/2026

Schrödinger's War (TL629) The King of England schools the U.S. on democracy while SCOTUS destroys it. Historically pointless shutdown ends. Secretary of War Crimes takes the witness stand. The Iran War is over but it’s not over. It's both! Who knows? /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41134095

Ballroom Blitz (TL628) 04/30/2026

Ballroom Blitz (TL628) The would-be assassin was not tackled by the Secret Service, he tripped over his own feet. The Regime is lying about the incident and exploiting it. Also: impeachment, bombs, lost lessons, election rigging, and the voter-as-pundit problem. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41067315

First They Came For… (TL627) 04/27/2026

First They Came For… (TL627) The U.S. regime labels anti-capitalists and civil rights protectors as enemies of the state to revoke citizenship and deport undesirables (like you and me). Then they incite violence and use it as an excuse to abolish dissent. And they wonder why we call them fascists. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/41024200

Whose Future Vision? (TL626) 04/23/2026

Whose Future Vision? (TL626) Two simple ideas to end Citizens United and force good government. Palantir oligarchs publish their techno-fascist manifesto. It’s as bad as you think. And, a handful of loudmouth podcasters shaping the major political parties is no way to run a country. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40983940

The Strait Dope (TL625) 04/20/2026

The Strait Dope (TL625) How can we be in a coalition with former MAGA if they don’t wholly renounce fascism? The impact of the Iran war on global well-being is another argument for local economies. The Orange Menace is the strait dope. (See what I did there?) /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40922375
