Jandron said on X, “I’m running for US Senate. If elected, the first bill I introduce will draft Lindsey Graham into any conflict he publicly supports while in office.”

An uncertain disconnect happens when global forces start to override local ways of living.

This episode starts with a moment from daytime television. During an appearance on The View, Arnold Schwarzenegger was there to promote his Netflix series FUBAR. But the conversation quickly shifted to immigration.

Alright, today we’re talking about a movie that’s less of a film and more of an experience… and not always a pleasant one.

It’s Movie 43, one of the strangest, most infamous comedies to come out of the 2010s.

I had an opportunity to have a guest on my show who most certainly has an extreme, likely apocalyptic worldview. It's someone who's apparently running for Congress, a so-called 'White House Faith Advisor.

Before and during the mid-2000s, Illinois politics revolved around a familiar mix of party power, patronage, and public scandal. One figure at the center of that system was Rod Blagojevich, a Chicago-born politician with a working-class background who rose through both state and federal offices before becoming governor in 2003.

Another was J.B. Pritzker, a wealthy businessman and heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, who during that same period chaired the Illinois Human Rights Commission from 2003 to 2006 under Blagojevich’s administration.

Is JB Pritzker genuinely distancing himself from AIPAC, or is it just a strategic act?

Today we’re going back to 1981 — to a moment before the global superstardom, before the polished pop-metal sheen, before Hysteria.

In this episode, I'm talking about The Omen, a 1976 supernatural horror film that changed the game...and even got an Academy Award!

Much to my surprise, I received an e-mail from someone wanting to be a guest on my show...who wasn't a right-winger! Here is my conversation with Sean Martin of the band The Quarantined.

We talk a little about music and, yes, politics. As usual, I end up looking like Casper with a black eye in the video, due to the dark bags under my eyes and the awkward natural lighting. Also, the camera adds about 180 pounds to my head and face, so be on the lookout for that. I swear, my head (probably) isn't that big in real life! It's an optical illusion...an inadvertent camera trick!
