Pretty Furious

Who is Amy Griffin, what is The Tell, and what’s the big deal about one of the biggest memoirs of last year? This week’s deep dive discusses the concept of repressed memory, a brief overview of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, the billionaire of it all, and how a high society New Yorker has landed herself in the middle of a lawsuit concerning ‘invasion of p…

At one point, Gen-Z was considered the generation that would save the country from right-wing extremism, block a second Trump term, and usher in a new progressive era. Poll after poll showed Gen-Z favoring a Harris/Walz ticket over Trump/Vance. But then came election day 2024, where Gen-Z significantly shifted to the right, driven in large part by the Trump campaign’s adoption of a flourishing right-wing media ecosystem, and Turning Point USA’s domination of political college campus events.

Now that Donald Trump has been in office again for over a year, Gen-Z is going through some strong buyer’s remorse, with polls showing a staggering 76% disapproval rating and a net approval of -53 among 18-29 year olds.

This week, Maggie Gehlsen-Burnett & Mallory Hagan sit down with James Crocker, President of Fight4America and Gen Z extraordinaire. They discuss what it’ll take to win the Gen Z vote in 2028, how Democrats can work against the machine that is Turning Point USA, and James’ upcoming Gen-Z bus tour. You can follow James here.

Mallory and Maggie of Pretty Furious joined The Siren Network recently and thought, ‘Do people here really know who we are?!’

This week on the show, get to know the co-hosts through a series of funny and insightful questions about growing up, their greatest icks, and maybe even a game of FMK!

The duo also discusses the incredibly concerning reports of a group of MAGA activists pitching Trump on a plan to suspend the midterm elections by declaring a national emergency. The activists are working with the White House on the plan, a move they say would allow Trump to flat-out ban mail-in ballots and voting machines.

When asked about this recently, Trump said “who told you that?”
