The John Fugelsang Podcast

John discusses Cole Thomas Allen who was arrested and charged following an apparent attempt on Donald Trump’s life at the White House Correspondents Dinner. The incident occurred one floor up and quite some distance from the event proper, but created a blanket of chaos and foggy reporting that settled over and ultimately cancelled the event. An almost too resilient Pres. Trump made a statement following the event demanding an immediate effort to fund and finish his White House Ballroom. Then, he welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider to talk about the media frenzy around the poorly planned assassination attempt and the lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law center. Then, winding it up, comedian Rhonda Hansome joins the crew and they take calls from listeners.

John discusses the hypocrisy of the "Right-to-Life" Trump Administration approving the use of firing squads for executions and saying it will also likely reinstate the electric chair and other methods, including GROUP executions. Then, he speaks with Aaron Miguel Cantú who's an investigative reporter covering energy issues and the fossil fuel industry in California. For Capital & Main he has written about the effect the war on Iran has had on California’s fuel imports, with the state sourcing more oil than ever before from bad actors like Russia just to meet demand. Then, John chats with TV's Frank Conniff about current politics and the ever fickle media.

This time John delves into the big bets people are making on who Trump will fire next. He certainly lives up to his tag line.

He stresses the need to support such institutions, especially as they face increasing scrutiny and attacks from those in power. Then, he's joined by journalist Wajahat Ali. They discuss the current political landscape, the implications of Trump's recent actions, and the importance of holding those in power accountable.

John's monologue in this episode: after voters in Virginia chose a Democrat-led voting district map, a Republican judge woke up and said “not on my watch.” Apparently, the fate of the midterms will be determined in the courts. Then, he discusses Amnesty International's annual report, "The State of the World's Human Rights". Spoiler Alert - USA gets a failing grade and there are calls for resistance in this pivotal moment for humanity.
