WE ARE NOT JOURNALISTS is a weekly podcast starring popular social media pranksters Walter Masterson and Maximillian Clark, who take delight in asking laugh-out-loud, nonsensical questions of today’s newsmakers, many of whom remain relentlessly and utterly clueless. Being somewhat socially responsible, there are also experts, comedians, and politicians analyzing how crazy everything is, and maybe collectively, we can figure out how to save the world.

Stormy may not have advanced Trump’s actual guilt but she did one better and made him look like a dirty old man, enamored with himself and his supposed bedroom prowess, obsessed with conning women into bed. Her testimony which bordered on the fantastical was an amazing display that gave Trump a dose of his own medicine. In the words of the Washington Post, Stormy pulled a Trump on Trump.  A master of social media, Stormy has been fighting trolls for half a decade, but her testimony was a masterclass in deflection and showed the only way to beat Trump outside of the ballot box is at his own game. 

The Defiant Podcast has exclusive access to audio recordings of Stormy Daniels corroborating every aspect of her courtroom testimony. Hear Ms. Daniels discuss how she met Donald Trump, how he tricked her into sleeping with him and trapped her in his room. And what the sex was like. In addition, she’ll discuss his offers of appearing on the Celebrity Apprentice, how she reminded him of his daughter Ivanka and so much more. WARNING THESE CLIPS ARE UNSUITABLE FOR YOUNG LISTENERS AND MAY DISTURB OTHERS. 

Donald Trump continues to deteriorate as he's forced to sit still and shut his mouth in court. Deprived of his 12 daily Diet Cokes, he's falling asleep in court, and once asleep, he's emitting a steady stream of foul-smelling flatulence that is sickening his legal team. It's an apt metaphor for what Trump is doing to the legal system and those around him while his lawyers beg Judge Merchan to drop the gag order. Find out what happened and so much more as Rick Wilson joins the show to read the political tea leaves. 

In a week that saw violent campus protests nationwide, President Biden stays safely in the middle and winds up alienating both the progressive left who want him to take up the Palestinian cause and those who don’t want to see chaos reign on American College Campuses; giving Trump and his MAGA followers an opening to weaponize the protests and blame Biden for the mess. Will this drag the President down in November and deliver Trump the White House? Jennifer Taub joins to explain it all.

In the (Court)Room Where it Happens: A special and singular episode on Trump’s trial, including 3 experts who spent the week as one of the few dozen people permitted to be inside the courtroom where Trump’s trial is happening. Norm Eisen and Jon Alter, along with Harry were all feet from Trump, the witnesses, and the jury. They are joined by Karen Friedman Agnifilo, who has extensive experience with the NY courts, including Judge Merchan, to break down the trial in its broad strokes & nuances; and to anticipate what’s coming next.

Majid looks back on a weird week in Trump land as Sleepy Don angles for a mistrial then looks ahead to day one of the jury trial. Insiders are betting on a guilty verdict. Grant Stern from Occupy Democrats joins for the Big Conversation. Listen now!

Majid breaks down the battle between Donald Trump and Judge Juan Merchan.  Will order in the court be restored or will Trump continue to press his luck until he's found in contempt? Find out all this and more as Majid is joined by Talking Feds host Harry Litman. 

On the premiere episode of The Defiant Podcast, Majid spotlights the ongoing GOP meltdown precipitated by the Arizona abortion ruling. Continued overreach by GOP extremists has galvanized Democrats and promises to change the calculus for the 2024 election as voters wake up to what will happen if Trump is allowed to return to the White House. Former FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi joins Majid to discuss how Russian propaganda has infected the GOP via extremist Republicans like  MGT, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert and Paul Gosar who have become the face of the GOP as they move the party deeper into the arms of Vladimir Putin and QANON. Now GOP strategists and Trump himself are fretting that now that the genie is out of the bottle, people are terrified that the GOP is run by a cabal of extremist lunatics.
Check out Frank Figliuzzi’s new book “Long Haul,” hailed as a true crime classic about the hunt for the long-haul truckers behind an astonishing 850 murders–and counting.

Mea Culpa welcomes back, intrepid newsman, Ali Velshi. Host of “Velshi” and seemingly the favorite fill-in host of every other MSNBC Prime Time News Show. Velshi also reported live from the frontlines of the George Floyd protests, he was drenched during Hurricane Ian. And dodged incoming fire from Russian artillery when he fearlessly reported live from the frontlines in Ukraine. A concerned citizen of the world, Velshi seems to be everywhere there is an injustice. He has been a contributor at CNN, Al Jazeera America, and NBC to name a few. He joins us on Mea Culpa in the midst of Donald Trump’s third indictment and arguably the most important as it goes to the heart of this nation’s democratic system.

Norm Eisen is back with us today to unpack the repercussions of Mark Meadows testimony against Donald Trump along with a slew of recent defectors from Sidney Powell to Jenna Ellis. Each one of these is a body blow to Trump's weakening defense. But Meadows could put the smoking gun in his hand. If you happen to be tuning in for the first time, Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst and the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center”, a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. His articles for the Brookings Institute and elsewhere have made the case for why Trump and his band of criminal conspiracists represented a clear and present danger to democracy. The former Obama Ethics Czar and Ambassador to the Czech Republic joins us today to get to the heart of what’s going on. 

Mea Culpa welcomes the Lincoln Project advisor Stuart Stevens. Regarded as one of the Republican Party’s most talented political gurus—a body of work that includes steering Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign in 2012—Stevens may also be the GOP’s most prominent defector when he abandoned his party as Trump rose to power. He despises the former president in a way that feels strikingly personal. While the Lincoln Project argues that Trump is perverting the Republican Party, Stevens doesn’t think Trump has perverted anything: Trump is the Republican Party, Stevens believes, and the Republican Party is Trump. Stuart believes there is no reclaiming his former party, it must be burned to the ground. Or to use a Vietnam-era metaphor, the Village must be destroyed in order to save it. Reflecting on a four-decade career in American politics, Stevens is convinced that Trump was not an aberrant zigzag. He was fate. “I saw a lot of this stuff, but I just chose to believe that this kind of dark side was the recessive gene, not the dominant one,” he says. “I was wrong.” Stevens joins Mea Culpa to discuss his fabulous new book “The Conspiracy to End America: Five Ways My Old Party Is Driving Our Democracy to Autocracy.” The book is part memoir and part Jeremiad as Stevens unpacks how we are moving towards an autocratic end.
