Ep 816: From Grassroots to Gears

[Recorded before the Presidential Debate.]Time for a deep dive into the troubling parallels between the decline of "liberal" mainstream media and the recent corporate buyouts of popular automotive YouTube channels like Donut Media.Remember when MSNBC was a bastion of creative, progressive messaging? We take a nostalgic journey through the network's evolution, examining how the suits upstairs never got how they couldn't "add conservative voices to reach a wider audience."  Megyn Kelly, Hugh Hewitt, Ronna McDaniel?  MSNBC tried them all.  This leads us to ask, WHAT liberal voice?This same pattern plays out in the world of automotive and fiber arts content creation. Once independent and creatively driven channels like Donut Media face similar pressures and changes under corporate ownership.Three main points for this episode?The transformation of MSNBC from a progressive powerhouse to a corporate mouthpieceThe impact of corporate buyouts on the authenticity and messaging of automotive and other YouTubersThe broader implications of YouTube's hegemony for independent media and content creation This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of independent voices in media.   Our podcast YouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@ProfessionalLeftSupport the show:PayPal |  https://paypal.me/proleftpodcastPatreon | https://patreon.com/proleftpodSupport the Show.

Ep 803: God's Will Or Somebody Else's Fault

We kick things off with a whimsical tangent about "sacred chickens" - those unquestioned assumptions and mythologies that societies cling to, even in the face of contradictory evidence. This leads to a deeper discussion about the concept of "phenomenology" and how subjective experience of reality can be manipulated (see Fox News).From there, we dive deep into one of America's most pernicious "sacred chickens" - the racist "birther" conspiracy theory that falsely claimed former President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. And we examine how it gained traction, in large part due to the relentless promotion by Donald Trump and, more importantly, by the relentless desire of CNN and other mainstream outlets to let Trump on their airwaves to promote his racist (and lie-filled) "investigations." While Trump's championing of this fantasy was an early glimpse into his comfort level with trafficking in racism and misinformation for perceived political gain, it was also a glimpse into just how willfully blind the media is to right-wing manipulation, especially if it means they can "both-sides" a presidency for both balance AND ratings. The Republican party establishment's refusal to reject birtherism set the stage for the party's further embrace of conspiracy theories and "alternative facts" in subsequent years under Trump. The episode is a timely examination of how racism, xenophobia, and phenomenological distortions can be weaponized for political purposes with damaging consequences.More at proleftpod.com.Support the show:PayPal |  https://paypal.me/proleftpodcastPatreon | https://patreon.com/proleftpodOur YouTube ChannelOpening and Closing Music:Jumpin Boogie Woogie by Audionautix | http://audionautix.com/|Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/jumpin-boogie-woogieMusic promoted by Audio Library | https://youtu.be/S2wYQlC0UsSupport the Show.

Ep 796: The Great Republican Sell-Out

Trump has a longstanding history of grifting down-ballot Republicans.  Instead of supporting his so-called party, Trump is forever leveraging his status for personal profit.But the intrigue doesn't end there. We also unpack the un-surprising transformations of "Never Trump" Republicans like Chris Sununu and Bill Barr, who have suddenly found Trump an acceptable candidate for president. And we look back at the long-standing pushy partnership between evangelicals and Republicans, discovering that it has always been transactional, even preceding the era of George W.

Ep 778 No Fair Remembering The 1965 Watts Uprising

In this thought-provoking episode, join us as we, two admittedly white midwesterners who were Pre-K at the time of the event, nevertheless take a look back at a significant event in American history – the 1965 Watts Uprising.  This leads us to think about how technology, particularly cell phones, and demographic change have significantly changed how police brutality is experienced and confronted.  And we talk about how white anger and "law and order" voting is echoed in the MAGA backlash against the first Black President.  More at proleftpod.com.Link for this episode:  CBS report on the Watts Riots, 1965https://youtu.be/Xg6HYwZ_ePQ?si=xlzvcaf5PnFtOox_Support the show:PayPal |  https://paypal.me/proleftpodcastPatreon | https://patreon.com/proleftpodOur YouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@ProfessionalLeft/videosOpening and Closing Music:Jumpin Boogie Woogie by Audionautix | http://audionautix.com/|Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/jumpin-boogie-woogieMusic promoted by Audio Library | https://youtu.be/S2wYQlC0UswCreative Commons Music by Jason Shaw on Audionautix.comSupport the show

Ep 772 No Fair Remembering MLK Jr. Day

In this episode of "No Fair Remembering Stuff," we embark on a fascinating journey into the complex and evolving history of acceptance and resistance towards Martin Luther King Day as a state and national holiday.We remember the declaration of Martin Luther King Day as a state holiday in South Carolina and unravel the factors (really only one factor, ahem) that led it to become the last state to recognize the occasion as a paid holiday for all state employees.We also talk about Jesse Helms and his claims that Martin Luther King Jr's opposition to the Vietnam War and insistence on equal rights for Black people made him a  communist. We also confront the legacy of the Confederacy and the southern states which, and we are not making this up, posed an alternative choice to celebrate a Confederate holiday instead of MLK Day.  Again, we are not making that up. And then we discuss Arizona's resistance to an MLK day and what finally got them to relent (hint: the NFL sure is WOKE). And if you think we're past all of this nonsense wait until you hear what Charlie Kirk is up to in 2024. Tune in to "No Fair Remembering Stuff" for this captivating exploration of the history of acceptance and resistance to Martin Luther King Day.Support the show:PayPal |  https://paypal.me/proleftpodcastPatreon | https://patreon.com/proleftpodOur YouTube ChannelOpening and Closing Music:Jumpin Boogie Woogie by Audionautix | http://audionautix.com/|Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/jumpin-boogie-woogieMusic promoted by Audio Library | https://youtu.be/S2wYQlC0UswCreative Commons Music by Jason Shaw on Audionautix.comSupport the show

Housekeeping! One Episode this week on Wednesday.

Hi it’s Fran AKA Blue Gal, just letting you know that this week, due to lots of things going on here at Casa DGBG, we will be doing ONE podcast only, on Wednesday October 18.  The episode should be posted by 7pm Central time.  I’ve got lots of doctor appointments this week for some reason and today Tuesday, our cat, Barack Hussein the Kenyan Usurper, goes to the vet for his annual checkup.  Barack Hussein is our Sumo wrestler cat he weighs over 15 pounds but the vet says he’s not overweight just built like a brick house.  In other family news, Junior Dude turns 25 on Saturday, and he’s coming home on Wednesday for a week, so my other two are also coming home for a couple of days and this empty nester will have all three adult kids in the house for one 24 hour period on Thursday.  I struggled with whether to podcast that day because telling my kids to be quiet we’re podcasting would make them feel right at home, but then I decided I would rather not do that.  So again, we’re doing one show this week, it will drop tomorrow, Wednesday October 18, and then we’ll be back with two shows Tuesday and Thursday next week.  Love you and talk to you then.  Support the show

Ep 678: The 'Not Surprised' Episode

12-02-2022 | We've finished our series on David Brooks. (NO "no fair remembering stuff" next week.) Neither of us is surprised George W. Bush lied to the 9/11 commission. Blue Gal is not surprised Georgia's work requirements for *partial* Medicaid expansion wastes taxpayer money in the state. The Bulwark Boys fulfill all of Driftglass's predictions and announce their gatekeeping for Republican "forgiveness." And poor Chris Cillizza was laid off from CNN, when Chris Licht said no layoffs.

Ep 645: The Patient Capital of Fascism

The passing of the great Eric Boehlert reminds us that there’s no institutional support for liberal truth. Single shingle truth-tellers asking for subscription five-dollar bills is the liberal business model, while Peter Thiel and Rebekah Mercer spend millions on Right-Wing Structure. That said, Fox viewers paid to watch CNN **and take notes** change their minds a bit.

Ep 640: And Like That, Republicans Reset Their Software

The great Republican software reset has begun, as Tucker Carlson claims he never supported Russia, and White-Wing Evangelicals set their brains to "Pelosi 9/11 Socialism" instead of "Trump 1/6 Big Lie." And Biden's State of the Union was great overall, yet contained a Sista Soulja moment we wish he had avoided.

Ep 639: Truth Social Will Be Fixed 'In Two Weeks,' But Not Ukraine

Republicans can't help but politicize a Russian invasion of one of our allies. Trump won't shut up, but can't fix anything in less than his "two weeks" lie. The backfire for Putin and an even worse one for Fox. And we're giving up despair and cynicism (especially as it denotes intelligence) for Lent.

Ep 615: The Nerve of the Media

We were going to call this "a very special 9/11 episode feat. Bill Kristol" but we considered that poor taste (But The Bulwark Podcast didn't!) and also we would never have an Iraq War pimp on our show. (But The Bulwark Podcast did!) This is one of our more densely packed shows as the mainstream and conservative media alike had quite a week defending (a) Biden being "just as bad" as Trump and (b) Both Sides being equally bad.

Ep 589: What A Good Week Feels Like

Where a LOT of people are this week: overjoyed... and grieving. Hopeful... and exhausted. Relieved... and deeply traumatized. Because it feels like we can finally peek over the lip of the foxhole and there’s not a terrifying monster firing back at us. But remembering that fascism never sleeps, and the next battle is coming.

Ep 588: The War Against Stupid Continues

Republicans want to fight about Dr. Seuss, while Democrats fight (among themselves? really?) about a $15 minimum wage. Never Trumpers, meanwhile, are obsessed with their ancestors and forget once again all about the Obama Administration. Blue Gal shares a book she's reading, and Driftglass wonders about writing one. (It's kind of like Gulag Archipelago, but instead of being condemned to a Russian prison camp, he's just off Twitter. One Tweet in the Life of Ivan Denisovich?)

Black Lives Matter Square is named in Washington. We protest in Springfield IL, wonder if Facebook is okay if you're connecting with activists, and roll our eyes at Nextdoor's passive racists. The New York Times can't get their messaging right - is it Bret Stephen's fault? And every Never Trumper thinks their party wasn't racist when THEY were around.

We wish!  We'll miss Elizabeth Warren A LOT.  Why we're already 40 years into a "Political Revolution" (Surprise, it was Reagan's.)  Driftglass reviews three conservative conferences held last week. We feel comforted by Thaddeus Stephens and Nancy Pelosi.  More at proleftpod.com.Support the show

Ep 535 Giving Up Worrying About Democrats for Lent

No matter what we say this week about the Democratic Primaries, South Carolina and Super Tuesday is destined to change the dynamic of the race.  Wait, Supreme Court wife Ginny Thomas did what?  Driftglass returns to his familiar hunting ground of the David Brooks beat.  We're reminded that Tom Friedman also has a job.  The CBS Democratic Debate was a sh*tshow, and everyone rightly blames the network and the moderators.  How DARE they sell an ad to Bloomberg?  More at proleftpod.com.  Support the show

Ep 534 Overcoming Primary Season Despair

Trump takes away a talking point from Illinois Republicans?  They thought he was their friend!  And we spend the rest of the podcast talking about how many people (even the two of us, sometimes!) fantasize about moving to Costa Rica if Trump is re-elected.  More at proleftpod.com  Support the show

Ep 533 No Justice Department, No Peace

Please note:   Due to our country now being a fascist state, there are a few more Eff bombs in this episode than usual.  Blue Gal has some advice for Mayor Bloomberg (and asks him to send her ten grand for it, same as in town).  Driftglass considers going full purity troll for cash and prizes.  And we discuss the unhealed wounds of past Republican failures and what we must do to heal.  More at proleftpod.com  Support the show

No, impeachment isn't proving a partisan divide. There are people who believe what they saw with their own eyes on the White House driveway, and those who are glued to Fox News.

Ep 481: Roger Stone Eat Your Heart Out

Driftglass and Blue Gal celebrate the day we met face to face eleven years ago. Oh sure, Roger Stone has a gag order from a federal judge, but Driftglass is in Twitter jail (again!). We feel chided by the Mister Rogers documentary, and instructed by Stacey Abrams. Ann Coulter's brand is undergoing a "transformation" ha ha ha. We are right about Never-Trust-a-Never-Trumper, and Donald Trump is totally off his own deep end.
