Cathy and Troy break down the Iran attack on Israel and the beginning of World War 3...or is it? Iran's attack was a very prescribed response designed to appease the hardline elements in their government, and resulted in only one injury and no deaths. Cathy and Troy examine the next possible moves for Israel and the U.S. with one thing certain: Israel is not safer as a result of Bibi Netanyahu's genocidal war on the Palestinians. 

And, we respond to far-left attacks on our character for our refusal to sit out the election, and ask what the plan is on the far-left, considering they don't even have a candidate to challenge Biden, let alone one that can get 270 electoral votes. The nation and the world has so much to lose with the election of Donald Trump, but the far-left care more about themselves than they do about actually helping the Palestinians. 

And a fake hug in a Chick-Fil-A wins Troy's lie of the week.

Cathy and Troy break down the new total abortion ban in Arizona, a law written in 1864  before Arizona became a state, and decades before women had the right to vote. The law has been on the books for more than a century but was unenforceable while Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. Thanks to Trump and the Federalist Society taking control of the U.S. Supreme Court, now Arizona women are subjected to 19th century law, and 19th century medicine.

Arizona joins Florida as two major swing states that will now have abortion on the ballot for the Presidential election in November, greatly increasing the chances of a Democratic victory on the national level.

Israeli Defense Forces pull troops back from southern Gaza a week after Biden called Bibi Netanyahu and read him the riot act over international food aid workers being killed in an air strike by the IDF. Bibi is now in a really bad spot as he's on the verge of losing American support if he pushes any further in Gaza, but if he doesn't he will lose his fascist right-flank supporters in the Israeli Parliament.

And Obama's pollster discusses the reality of polls in the 2024 election and how despite what legacy media is saying, Trump is in no better a position than Biden according to the Polls. The Never Trump movement is holding strong with Nikki Haley getting tens of thousands of votes in primaries despite dropping out of the race.

Cathy and Troy are joined by special guest, MeidasTouch contributor CoachD_Speaks, to celebrate Trans Day of Visibility, a day put into hyper public awareness by fake Republican outrage that it landed on the same day as Easter. 

Republicans lied and said Biden scheduled Trans Day of Visibility on Easter out of disrespect for Christians, but Trans Day of Visibility is always March 31st, and has been since 2009. The date of Easter changes, and they simply landed on the same day this year. 

We guarantee Biden didn't actually know Trans Day of Visibility was even a thing until Republicans made it huge.

Speaking of huge, a giant container ship slapped in the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore and collapsed it, killing 6. Rather than spark a conversation about our critically underfunded infrastructure, racist Republicans decided, inexplicably, to make it into their latest salvo in the war against diversity. 

And Texas Republicans get caught in a meeting with a group called Abolish Abortion Texas, whose explicit mission is to impose the death penalty on women and girls who get abortions, or receive IDF treatments, with no exception for rape or incest.

Cathy interviews Sarah Hoffer, Change Party Senator at the University of Florida and Jayden Currence, Director of Communications for the UCF College Democrats, to discuss how politics is playing out on their respective campuses and offer advice for other young people and students looking for ways to get involved.

Cathy and Troy break down the UN Ceasefire Resolution that passed the Security Council without a U.S. veto, leading Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel his visit to the United States next month, likely signaling a decay of U.S./Israel relations. This was definitely the right move in the face of Israeli genocide of Palestinians, but will an increasingly isolated Bibi prove to be even more dangerous?

A terrorist attack in Moscow kills 140 people. Putin recognizes that ISIS K is responsible but is still trying to spin the horrifying loss of civilian life as somehow the fault of Ukraine.

House Republicans finally pass a funding bill to keep the government open to the end of the year, and as a reward for bipartisan compromise, House Speaker Mike Johnson now faces losing his job after Marjorie Taylor Green files a motion to vacate the Speakership. Here we go again with more House Speaker chaos? Or will House Dems save Johnson's job, and if so, what will he owe them?

In the midst of Speaker drama, Ken Buck and Mike Gallagher, two old-school Republicans, suddenly quit Congress as a middle-finger to the MAGA takeover of the Party. Republicans now hold the House majority by a single vote.

Chuck Todd finally shows up to work, telling off his bosses at NBC to their faces for hiring ex RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel as full-time contributor.

And Cathy puts on her tin foil hat and jumps right in to Royal family conspiracy theories surrounding the condition of Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales.

Cathy and Troy analyze the Presidential election in Russia, where Vladimir Putin won with 87% of the vote, to look at what actually stealing an election looks like. Pro-democracy activist and Putin opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed in a Russian prison in February. Putin will now be dictator of Russia until 2030, at least.

The U.S. House passed its effective TikTok ban; a law that TikTok must divest from its Chinese parent company ByteDance, and be purchased by an American company or investor group. As the Chinese economy collapses, could this be a bluff to hurt ByteDance stock and further harm China, the biggest U.S. competitor for global superiority? Or will Biden actually sign this law and allow the U.S. government to assist in a hostile corporate takeover of the biggest brand in the world? One thing is for certain: TikTok is too big to be banned. 

And Trump son-in-law  and former Director of Middle East Policy Jared Kushner discusses a plan to move out Gaza residents to build valuable beach front property in the Gaza strip. If Trump wins re-election, will construction begin immediately on Trump Tower Gaza?

JBLC breaks down the looming Congressional ban on TikTok, what is motivating it, and if it will actually happen. TikTok is a source of community for many youth and especially those affected in their formative years by COVID shutdowns. Many youth use TikTok as their main outlet of self-expression and connection. The U.S. Congress probably has more pressing things to deal with than to scapegoat an app on behalf of competing business interests. 

But then again, Trump may try to buy it...

And a huge week of news as the State of the Union and Super Tuesday occured last week. We analyze Biden's speech as he shames the devil that is the MAGA Republicans into utter submission. We also discuss Biden's gaffe during the speech that overshadowed its success with many people.

MAGA freshman Senator Katie Britt of Alabama gives a bizzare, unwatchable response speech that was so bad everyone but Trump hated it. She's probably going to be Trump's VP by the way. One section of Britt's speech was so misleading it earns recognition as Lie of the Week.

And the general election is here at last with Super Tuesday primaries booting out Nikki Haley and Dean Phillips.  What will Nikki Haley do now? Will she finally form the third party for sane conservatives? Or will fold and endorse Trump, and return limping into the MAGA-sphere. Probably the latter.

JBLC breaks down the passage of a bill in France to enshrine the right to an abortion in their constitution, a move inspired by the loss of reproductive freedom in the United States;

Nikki Haley wins the DC primary on the way to a complete surprise rout of Donald Trump...probably not, but we take a look at the upcoming Super Tuesday primary elections, can Haley make a last stand against the insurrectionist and save the soul of the Republican Party?; 

Speaking of insurrection, the Supreme Court rules that states can't remove Donald Trump from the ballot for violating the 14th amendment insurrection clause. We explain why this actually was the right call, and also why we need a constitutional convention now more than ever; 

Also, Kamala Harris takes the lead on the conflict in Gaza from the U.S. perspective and calls for a 6 week ceasefire. Netanyahu opposition leader Benny Ganz is invited to the White House and the dicussion is kept secret. Is Biden prepping for force out Bibi?

And Chaya Raichek, the creator of LibsOfTikTok wins liar of the week. She's a right-wing terrorist who foments trans genocide for money.

Cathy and Troy give a eulogy for the career of Mitch McConnell, who announced this week that he would be stepping down from his 2 decade role of Senate Republican Leader, a career marked by putting party ahead of country, weaponizing the filibuster, and corrupting all three branches of government, only to be turned on by MAGA. Bye Mitch. You earned your place in political infamy. 

The Supreme Court is taking up Trump's claims of Presidential Immunity, the concept that Presidents, and in Trump's case ex-Presidents, are allowed to break the law. The best case scenario is that SCOTUS is simply making a move to delay Trump's Jan 6 and classified documents trials. 

Worst case scenario, the Court paves the way for Donald Trump, and any President, to be above the law. This is the Court where Trump picked 3 justices, and another, Clarence Thomas, was directly involved in the Jan 6 coup through his wife and other political allies.

The results are in from the Michigan primaries and some Democrats just can't commit to Joey Biden in the middle of the GAZA genocide. Cathy and Troy put on campaign manager hats and discuss the primary results from both parties, who had a good night, and which side is actually more uncommitted to their candidate.

And the Christian nationalism crusade continues as men who think In Vitro Fertilization is abortion make moves to ban the procedure nationwide. We break down how the "life begins at conception" argument is so flawed with an epic Cathy rant.

JBLC looks at the death of Russian pro-democracy leader Alexei Navalny, Putin's chief rival, in a Russian prison camp; a political assassination the same week that Trump announced to the world that he would let Putin do "whatever the hell he wants", as MAGA suddenly turns against Russia saying that Trump is the only leader who can stand up to Putin. 

Will this serve to dislodge Ukraine aid from  Congress as the world is reminded of the brutality of Putin's regime?

All this as Russian propaganda ratchets up in the U.S. ahead of the election. Tucker Carlson goes to Russia and films a blatant pro-Putin gaslighting segment, stating that quality of life is better in Russia than in the United States. 

We dismantle Carlson's lies in our first "Lie of the Week" segment.

Trump is ordered to pay $450 million dollars and banned from doing business in NY for three years in his NY Civil Fraud case, after a clown show of a trial where he attacked the judge and defamed the judge's clerk, all after forgetting to request a Jury. 

And the Presidential greatness survey is released and Donald Trump is ranked DEAD LAST, 45 out of 45, failing to edge out famous drunks and traitors. He's in the company he deserves. While Obama jumps to 7, and Biden enters the survey at 14.
