BTL #233 - #ResistanceRecess - 2/21/17

This week on BTL, #ResistanceRecess has begun! Check online for events near you! Plus, this week had all the news and these days that doesn't even feel like a shock.  Flynn is out, Puzder is out, an epic Trump Press Conference graced the airwaves, a man literally named McMaster is in, and we celebrated new fake terrorism (#neverremember again and always).  Plus, Chris Christie unwittingly provides the perfect metaphor for this whole ride so far.  Check it out, rate us on iTunes and Stitcher, and leave a comment!

BTL #232 - SEE YOU IN COURT [w/ Special Guests: Bad News Live’s Chuck Ludwig and Julianne Simitz] - 2/13/17

This week on BTL...the Bad News Live Crew is back!  Check out their next live show on Feb 18th at the Acme Theater in LA!  In the meantime, however, catch them reliving the million hours of news the Trump administration so thoughtfully produced in the last week.  First a foremost, let's #neverremember to #newforget a new category of fake terrorist victims - those (zero) lost in the Atlanta attacks.  Plus, we've got news on the Muslim Ban's court progress, updates on the senate confirmations (DeVos, Sessions, Price, oh my!), thoughts on why and how #shepersisted, whether or not Hillary Clinton has persisted, whether or not the Senate should persist, and more!  Also, anybody with leads for where a person can get some easy D should contact the White House.  

BTL #230 - The Gossipy Side of a Constitutional Crisis [SPECIAL GUEST: William Floyd, LA County Dems] - 1/30/17

BTL #230 - The Gossipy Side of a Constitutional Crisis [SPECIAL GUEST: William Floyd, LA County Dems] - 1/30/17

This week on BTL, join us for a walk down memory lane as we recount every single horrifying thing that happened in the last week.  Yup, week.  Trump has only been the president for a week.  We're already mid-constitutional crisis, we've already pissed off most of the world, and Trump's staff keeps tweeting us their passwords so things are leakier over there than a paper pipe.  On the bright side, if you enjoy protesting, you'll have lots of opportunities coming up.  Also, if you enjoy engaging in Wikipedia mischief, this next year is probably going to be your holy grail.

Also if you're pissed, get involved at the local level!  Don't miss our interview with William Floyd of the LA County Democrats to find out more about what that means.

BTL #226 - New Year, New Congress - 1/4/16

BTL #226 - New Year, New Congress - 1/4/16

Happy New Year, guys!  This week on a (finally all new!) BTL...Congress gets off to the most embarrassing start possible, but they're finally sworn in so it's time to hit the phones and let them know we're watching!  Plus, Donald Trump knows not what he does or thinks, but he seems to get credit for whatever happens to work out that day anyway.  None of this, of course, is thanks to his cabinet appointments, which only seem to get worse with each passing moment, and none of it will change if the Democratic leadership in the Senate has anything to say about it.   Oh, and Trump rang in the new year with a mobster named "Joey No Socks" because...of course.  All this and tons more on our first podcast of 2017!  Buckle up!

 

BTL #225 - Rant Day - 12/17/16

BTL #225 - Rant Day - 12/17/16

This week on a special bi-coastal BTL, we've got a few things to get off our chests.  Yes, we know all about Russia's hacking and yes we're horrified.  Yes we know all about the electoral college vote and yes we're terrified.  But no we wont accept that the Democrats lost this race solely because of James Comey and Voldermort Putin, and we'll tell you why politically it's not even worth making the claim.  Plus we're all over covering our history of fake news and future of fake morals!  Listen while you load of up on latke potatoes or Christmas ham (or a nondenominational food of your choice)!  Then give us the gift of a rating on iTunes.  

BTL #224 - Losing the Cold War - 12/13/16

BTL #224 - Losing the Cold War - 12/13/16

This week on BTL, it's Red Scare Pt. II: the one where we actually lose the Cold War!  Welcome to life in the modern USSR.  sS far it's mostly viewings of The Apprentice and the promise of starvation wages but Trump is brewing up some additional cabinet trouble so stay tuned.  Of course no viewing of The Apprentice is as bad as listening to Ted Cruz describe his love of queso.  Plus, DNC updates, adventures in deal-making, and more!  Listen if you dare!  (But seriously, please listen.  Listening is fun!)

BTL #223 - A Bad Deal - 12/4/16

BTL #223 - A Bad Deal - 12/4/16

This week on BTL, we've got all the latest from the last TWO weeks!!  Special attention is paid, of course to the reverse love triangle that is Trump-Romney-Kellyanne Conway, but we've also got lessons in (non)diplomacy from our incoming POTUS, the legacy of the man simply known as Fidel, and the fatal sign that your latest accomplishment was REAL unimpressive: Sarah Palin joining Democrats to condemn it.  All that plus our recount-fever update, and the story of the giant, purposeless Holiday Hole.

BTL #222 - The Case of the Missing Comp Seats - 11/21/16

This week on BTL, shit is getting real here in Trumpistan!  Transition team purges already underway?  Sen. Jeff Sessions (not to be confused with Rep. Pete Sessions) as Attorney General?  Rumors of a shortlist for other cabinet spots that seems like it's punking us?  Yes (but no!!!!!!) to all.  Plus, Clinton comes out of hiding, Trump violates his own rules and settles his Trump U case, the Democrats expand leadership to include everybody on earth!  The election was tough, but now, more than ever, is when to pay attention!  Things are about to get a little rocky.
