Podcast: Political Playlist Happy Hour
Published On: Wed Sep 03 2025
Description: On this Happy Hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss the recent bogus climate report from the Trump Administration which fits into a broader scheme to completely control and manipulate all government data, to the detriment of...YOU. The gang cites the CDC's leadership debacle, the attempted takeover of the Fed, and other statistical interference as evidence for things becoming less trustworthy. Then the discussion segues to Josh Riley, the politician from upstate NY who's on our playlist this week with a new bipartisan bill with Mike Lawler. And the big topic to unpack how to talk about is none other than AI.
