The John Fugelsang Podcast

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. Then, John welcomes the return of Bob Cesca and they chat about redistricting, the midterms, and Trump's tariff refunds.

In this episode, John discusses Tucker Carlson's recent apology for helping Trump get elected, framing it as a strategic move rather than a genuine act of contrition. He argues that Carlson's shift in tone is more about rebranding than true repentance, a sentiment that resonates with many listeners who are skeptical of political motives. Then, he talks about the peace talks which have stalled between the US and Iran but Trump says he is extending his mythical deadline once again, hopeful Iran will come back with a proposal soon. John then delves into Pete Kegsbreath's decision to lift vaccine mandates in the military, a topic that has, of course, sparked heated debate. Next, he interviews Dan McClellan who's an award-winning public scholar of the Bible. They talk about his new book: "The Bible Says So". Then, John speaks with Richard Ojeda who's a former Army Major and former member of the WV Senate. He is the democratic nominee to represent North Carolina’s 9th District in the US House of Representatives, set to face off against Republican Richard Hudson this fall. And then rounding it out, "Comedy Daddy" Keith Price returns to joke with John and listeners about the latest political news and the hottest pop culture.
