Pardon the Politics
Where chaos meets clarity in American democracy.
Every week, Pardon the Politics dives headfirst into the madness of modern politics - unfiltered, unscripted, and unapologetically sharp. Hosted by a rotating crew of sharp-witted political thinkers, journalists, and everyday policy nerds, this podcast makes sense of the noise coming out of Washington, your statehouse, and your social media feed.
From the 2024 presidential race chaos to the culture war chessboard, from SCOTUS shockers to viral congressional meltdowns - no topic is too hot, too complex, or too ridiculous. If it’s trending, we’re talking about it. With humor, heart, and just the right amount of side-eye, we call out hypocrisy, break down policy, and highlight the real-life impact of political decisions on everyday Americans.
Equal parts analysis, debate, and barstool rant, Pardon the Politics is where informed meets irreverent. Whether you’re doom-scrolling or running for office, this is the political podcast that keeps you smart—and keeps it real.

Putin in the Passenger Seat: Trump’s Alaska Summit Debrief
Welcome to Season 2 Episode 33 and our 50th overall! In this milestone episode, Jeezy and Manny break down the unexpected, chaotic, and wildly underwhelming Trump-Putin “summit” in Alaska. From Putin pulling up with a 400-deep delegation to Trump offering an American Bald Eagle statue (seriously), this episode dives into the geopolitical theater that feels more like a reality show than diplomacy.
We also talk hotel printers gone rogue, the absurdity of using Holiday Inn Wi-Fi for state secrets, and what really went down behind those closed doors (hint: it might involve Epstein files 👀). Then we shift to Trump’s deployment of National Guard forces in DC and what it signals about authoritarian reach, redistricting drama, and looming legal tests.
Is Ukraine about to get played in trilateral talks? Will Zelensky pull up in a tan suit? And what’s actually more dangerous: DC or Baghdad?
It’s spicy. It’s hilarious. It’s politics at its wildest.
