On this episode of Politics on Tap, Kevin and Mr. Blackthorn dive headfirst into one of the strangest political headlines yet: a proposed UFC fight on the White House lawn. From there, the conversation spirals into a broader debate about political spectacle, presidential power, January 6th payouts, corporate influence in elections, and whether America’s system of checks and balances is breaking down in real time.

The hosts clash over campaign finance, Citizens United, corporate political spending, and a controversial Delaware ruling that could allow corporations to vote in local elections. Along the way, they unpack frustration with both political parties, discuss public trust in government, and debate whether meaningful reform is even possible inside the current system.

Equal parts heated debate and dark humor, this episode explores the tension between political theater and democratic institutions — with plenty of sharp commentary, sarcasm, and philosophical back-and-forth in between.

A wide-ranging episode of Politics on Tap featuring DNC Veterans and Military Families Council candidate Mike Embrich. The crew dives into the future of the Democratic Party, veterans in politics, campaign strategy, foreign policy, campaign finance reform, and the influence of money in American government. They also break down Bayonne’s heated mayoral race, local political shifts, and what working-class communities are demanding from both parties moving forward — all while sharing drinks, stories, and plenty of unfiltered commentary.
