WE ARE NOT JOURNALISTS is a weekly podcast starring popular social media pranksters Walter Masterson and Maximillian Clark, who take delight in asking laugh-out-loud, nonsensical questions of today’s newsmakers, many of whom remain relentlessly and utterly clueless. Being somewhat socially responsible, there are also experts, comedians, and politicians analyzing how crazy everything is, and maybe collectively, we can figure out how to save the world.

THE DEFIANT PODCAST PRESENT: WE ARE NOT JOURNALISTS FROM WALTER MASTERSON AND MAXIMILLIAN CLARK

Majid looks back on a weird week in Trump land as Sleepy Don angles for a mistrial then looks ahead to day one of the jury trial. Insiders are betting on a guilty verdict. Grant Stern from Occupy Democrats joins for the Big Conversation. Listen now!

Breaking!! Insiders Say Trump Guilty Verdict Inevitable + A Conversation with Occupy Democrats' Grant Stern

Why Trump WANTS to be Jailed + A Conversation with Harry Litman

On the premiere episode of The Defiant Podcast, Majid spotlights the ongoing GOP meltdown precipitated by the Arizona abortion ruling. Continued overreach by GOP extremists has galvanized Democrats and promises to change the calculus for the 2024 election as voters wake up to what will happen if Trump is allowed to return to the White House. Former FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi joins Majid to discuss how Russian propaganda has infected the GOP via extremist Republicans like  MGT, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert and Paul Gosar who have become the face of the GOP as they move the party deeper into the arms of Vladimir Putin and QANON. Now GOP strategists and Trump himself are fretting that now that the genie is out of the bottle, people are terrified that the GOP is run by a cabal of extremist lunatics.


Check out Frank Figliuzzi’s new book “Long Haul,” hailed as a true crime classic about the hunt for the long-haul truckers behind an astonishing 850 murders–and counting.
