In just one or two more election cycles, the United States very well might cease being a Liberal Democracy.  Think that's just hype? Listen to the sound yourself here.  Meanwhile, a couple of spoiled billionaires are having seemingly daily tantrums on Twitter.

Is Elon Musk having some sort of personal crisis?  He says that he is abandoning California (where he has started many of his companies) because it is a one-party, high tax, heavily regulated state.  Perhaps he hasn't fully researched the political diversity in his new home of Texas.  Hey Elon...good luck in your low-regulation paradise where they have trouble keeping the power on.  Also, Tucker Carlson is performing acts of contortion now that one of his fans has gone on a murderous rampage in Buffalo.  We have the sound.  And finally, Joe Rogan has a cringe-worthy moment on his podcast this week.  All of this and more on the 100th episode of M & M Do A Podcast.

Another weekend in America.  Carnage in Buffalo, Milwaukee, Southern California, Chicago, Houston.  In Buffalo, the 18-year-old shooter is directly tied to the great replacement theory that is actively promoted almost daily by Tucker Carlson and much of the neo-Fascist right in this country, which includes Republican elected officials at every level of government, and tolerated by the rest of the right.  And Democrats seem to be bringing a pillow to a gun fight.  Meanwhile, we seem to be consumed by things like a slap at the Academy Awards, and attention whore Elon Musk's on again, off again flirtation with buying Twitter.  Meanwhile, Bill Maher continues his desperate attempt at remaining relevant.  Big question is "to whom?"

Robert Reich says that we're already in the second American Civil War.  This one isn't being fought on battlefields, but perhaps blue states and red states need to live like a couple in an  estranged marriage.  Is it time to co-exist and not have a "one size fits all" approach in this country?  We discuss this, and a host of other items in the news along with contributions from George Carlin and our Hillbilly Liberal.

Lest you think that we're kidding, the ink on the leaked draft opinion by the Supreme Court is still wet, and Republicans in office and running for office have taken to the airwaves over the past weekend to see who can be more extreme in the "pro-life Derby".  The Mississippi Governor defends the law there that prohibits pregnancies that result from incest and won't rule out a ban on contraception next.  Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn is proposing a ban on contraception except for married couples.  And a candidate in Arizona goes one step beyond and is promoting a ban on all contraception as his Catholic faith demands.  Why would they stop there?  Does anyone really think that certain states in this country wouldn't again ban gay or interracial marriage given the chance?  We are heading in a very dangerous direction in this country. We also discuss the scalding that Steve Schmidt gave to Meghan McCain this weekend.

So the Supreme Court has fired a cannon shot across the bow of the nation with it's plans to do away with Roe v. Wade this Summer.  Red states are already lining up to outlaw legal abortions with the promise in some of arrest and prosecution of doctors and even women who would get the procedure.  But have they also lit the fuse for the Democrats to motivate their voters to do what they did in the 2018 midterms and again in 2020 with the huge turnout?  We discuss the fact that this nation is being run currently by minority opinion and what it takes to turn that around.  If not now, then it may be too late.

The New York Times has done an exhaustive deep dive into Tucker Carlson and has further exposed the gaslighting, racism and manipulation techniques that he engages in nightly.  Hear Carlson - in his own words - work to tear the country apart by convincing his audience that they are the true victims and that "they" are coming to get "you".

As the Elon Musk acquisition of Twitter continues to reverberate through the world, we turn to our Hillbilly Liberal to share his thoughts on the subject.  One has to wonder why Musk might insert himself into such a potentially controversial place, when clearly, he doesn't really need to.  We ponder the question: "Is Musk simply bored?"  Also, Congressional candidate in Oklahoma and current GOP state Chairman John Bennett suggests that Dr Anthony Fauci be placed in front of a firing squad...and gets cheers.

It is no longer debatable.  The GOP is the party of stupid.  Not only is being stupid not a disqualifier for Republicans, but it is worn as a badge of honor by their leaders, who know that there is literally nothing that they can do, no lie too brazen, no claim too unbelievable to insult their followers.  What do the Democrats need to do in order to communicate more effectively just how dangerous the GOP is to our country at this crucial time?  We can take the lead of two elected Democrats...both women.  Elizabeth Warren and a little known (for now) state representative from Michigan, Mallory McMorrow, who became mad as Hell and isn't taking it any longer.

Elon Musk is attempting a hostile takeover of Twitter in order to protect "free speech", when in reality, he wants to remove any limitations on the platform spreading lies and misinformation.  The idiocy of Republican elected officials knows no bounds.  Now, an elected Republican in Tennessee uses none other than Hitler as a role model for homeless people to pull themselves up by their boot straps and become productive citizens.  You cannot make this stuff up.  Are we destined to go head to head with Russia?  And the Los Angeles Dodgers have a Treavor Bauer problem.  We discuss.
