No Kings Day is coming and we’ve got 3 secrets you’re gonna love. In this explosive episode of The Dangerous Ones, we reveal the three hidden power moves that are about to redefine protest in America. From a viral Obama takeover of your social feed, to reclaiming the American flag from the MAGA cult, to turning the streets into a stage for protest art and performance, we're not just marching, we're flipping the narrative. If you thought No Kings Day was just about showing up, think again.

We also break down Trump’s $45 million Flag Day dictator parade: tanks, helicopters, howitzers, paid crowds, and enough cosplay to make Mussolini blush. But while Trump plays emperor, the people are showing up with creativity, community, and resistance. This episode is your No Kings Day survival guide, protest toolkit, and call to arms. We’re not backing down. We’re getting louder, prouder, and more dangerous by the minute.

In this blistering episode of The Dangerous Ones, Jim, Tiffany, and Nick take on Trump’s latest authoritarian fever dream: eliminating FEMA. That’s right, this fall, federal disaster response is on the chopping block. The trio breaks down what it means when a wannabe dictator shifts emergency aid from trained experts to a patchwork of underfunded state agencies—and worse, puts the cash flow directly under his control. From the chaos of natural disasters to the cruelty of political favoritism, this episode doesn’t hold back.

The team explores the dangerous implications for Red Cross-style relief networks, poor states in crisis, and Americans who’ve come to rely on swift, coordinated federal help. If you thought the Trump administration couldn’t get more heartless, buckle up. FEMA isn’t just being dismantled, it’s being weaponized.

In this episode of The Dangerous Ones, we dive into the terrifying rise of ICE’s new deportation regime under Trump 2.0. Backed by Stephen Miller’s fascist fantasies, ICE is now using a government-built surveillance app, called ATRAC (yes, like “alien tracker”) to hunt down immigrants across the country. Raids are ramping up, agents are chasing farmworkers through fields, and the administration is demanding 3,000 arrests a day. Even human trafficking investigators are being pulled off their cases to feed the quota machine.

On this explosive episode of The Dangerous Ones, we break down everything you need to know before hitting the streets for NO KINGS DAY, America’s nationwide protest against Trump’s wannabe-dictator military birthday parade. As the MAGA machine rolls tanks through DC, over 1,800 cities are rising up with peaceful power to say loud and clear: we don’t do kings. Hosts Jim Drastic, Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen deliver 10 critical protest tips, from knowing your rights and locking down your phone, to dressing for anonymity, avoiding agitators, and using your voice strategically. Whether you’re a seasoned activist or a first-timer, this episode will get you ready.

Packed with real-world protest experience, this episode is your guide to smart, safe, and effective civil disobedience. We cover 'GO BAGS', emergency contact prep, camera etiquette, the buddy system, and how to find joy and community in the fight for democracy. If you’re planning to protest Trump’s authoritarian showboating on June 14th, this is the episode you need. Subscribe, share, and get loud, because resistance isn’t just your right. It’s your responsibility.

In this episode of The Dangerous Ones, Jim Drastic, Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen expose the tidal wave of right-wing disinformation flooding social media to paint the peaceful LA protests against ICE raids as violent chaos. With Trump deploying both the National Guard and Marines under the guise of “restoring order,” the crew unpacks how these fear-driven tactics are part of a deliberate strategy to justify authoritarian overreach and ignite a culture war. From James Woods recycling old riot footage to fake Homeland Security accounts pushing Soros-funded brick conspiracies, the lies are not only absurd—they’re dangerous.

But the truth isn’t going down without a fight. The Dangerous Ones crew calls out the propaganda, reaffirms the power of peaceful protest, and urges listeners to stay grounded, vigilant, and loud. They remind us that nonviolent resistance has always been the most effective weapon against tyranny—and that staying home out of fear is exactly what the other side wants. With boots-on-the-ground updates, righteous rage, and zero tolerance for bullshit, this episode is a rallying cry for clarity, courage, and showing up.

Elon Musk wants you to believe he's suddenly the voice of the people. He called Trump’s budget bill a "disgusting abomination" and claimed politicians betrayed America. But come on. We see the playbook. In this episode, Jim, Tiffany, and Nick tear into Elon’s performative outrage, his efforts to rewrite history, and the billionaire grift that’s cutting Medicaid while padding the pockets of the ultra-rich. Spoiler: he doesn't get to be the hero.

Sixteen million Americans are about to lose healthcare, and Elon is only mad because it messes with the deficit and his investments. We break down the real motives, the protests that are actually working, and why the No Kings movement might be the loudest, clearest response yet. If you've been waiting for a reason to rise up, this episode is it.

No Kings Day is coming. On June 14, while Trump throws himself a multimillion-dollar military parade packed with tanks, jets, and paratroopers, Americans in all 50 states are planning to take to the streets in protest. In this episode of The Dangerous Ones, we break down the narcissistic circus unfolding in D.C., the $40 million price tag you're footing, and the deeper authoritarian play behind Trump's birthday bash.

This isn’t just a protest. It’s a national moment of resistance. With over 1,500 events already planned, No Kings Day is shaping up to be the largest coordinated action of the year. We dig into how to get involved, why online activism matters just as much, and how even the smallest mobilizations can send the loudest message. The bottom line? We don’t do kings in America. Not now. Not ever.

Mark Hays, Associate Director of Americans for Financial Reform, joins The Dangerous Ones to expose one of the most underreported corruption stories in America today: Donald Trump’s plunge into crypto. From meme coins to a shady new stablecoin, Trump is building a parallel financial system designed for influence peddling, foreign cash, and zero accountability. Hays walks us through the mechanics of the grift, the bipartisan bills enabling it. Yes, we’re looking at you, GENIUS Act and the very real threat this poses to our democracy and economy.

Forget the hype. Hays dismantles the illusion that crypto is decentralized or democratic and shows how it’s become a perfect vehicle for modern-day bribery and financial instability. We connect the dots between Trump, foreign autocrats, and a regulatory system asleep at the wheel. If you're not alarmed yet, you will be. This episode is your firewall before the next financial meltdown and a call to action before it’s too late.

What happens when the guy who wrote “Everything Is Awesome” for The Lego Movie sits down with The Dangerous Ones in 2024, when nothing feels awesome anymore? Oscar and Grammy-nominated songwriter Shawn Patterson joins us to talk about his unexpected journey from cult comedy and cartoon scores to writing one of the biggest earworms in pop culture. From childhood piano plinking to a seat at the Oscars, Patterson walks us through the surreal highs and weird industry lows that come with success in Hollywood.

But this conversation goes deeper than music. Patterson is also a fierce pro-democracy voice who brought his scoring talents to The Lincoln Project during the 2020 election and isn’t afraid to rage against the machine or the Mango Mussolini currently dismantling democracy. We talk art, activism, messaging, and why real change happens when people stop shouting and start listening to their neighbors. This one’s got everything: fame, fear, fascism, and a never-before-heard demo of “Everything Is Awesome.” Buckle up.

In this explosive episode of The Dangerous Ones Podcast, Congressman Mike Levin (CA-49) environmental attorney, climate champion, and fierce democracy advocate joins hosts Jim Drastic, Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen to expose the blatant corruption and alarming scandals of Trump’s second term. Levin calls out Trump's shocking "Flying Bribe" controversy involving Qatar's luxury jet gift and unpacks the disastrous "big beautiful" budget scam that strips healthcare, SNAP benefits, and funding from America’s most vulnerable.

From insider stock trading abuses on Capitol Hill to the quiet giveaways to corporate gun lobbies hidden in the GOP budget, Levin passionately lays out how the Republicans are attacking working families while enriching billionaires. Beyond policy, this episode dives deep into the human stories impacted by MAGA extremism from the heartbreaking deportation of the Gonzalez family after 35 years in America, to deadly human smuggling tragedies off the California coast.

Levin shares personal insights, solutions like the bipartisan Dignity Act for immigration reform, and highlights the urgent need to protect Social Security, veterans' rights, and environmental policies gutted by Trump 2.0. With a powerful mix of policy critique, emotional storytelling, and grassroots calls-to-action, Levin reminds listeners why fighting back against corruption, cruelty, and chaos in Washington matters now more than ever.
