The Bill Show: Politics This Week

Bill Show #290: Who’s The Nazi?

We’re back…did we miss anything? While taking The Bill Show on tour in outback Australia…(I’m doing the show in the back of a mini-van…yes…I have become Woody Harrelson in a Roland Emmerich film..), we come back to the horror of Vladimir Putin and his Third Reich style World War Two Nostalgia Tour. We discuss how we can all give money directly to citizens of Ukraine. There is horror, anger…and the occasional show tune. We also play “Who’s The Nazi?” . Pull up a chair….

Bill Show #289: Trump Toilet Tales

We once again delve into the depths of Donald Trump’s Toilet. Bring a lunch. We have the News Roundup and all the events in the USA! USA! USA! (all rights reserved). 

Bill Show #288: Our 10th Anniversary Show (With Tom Hanks)

It’s our 10th Anniversary Show. Yes we’ve been on most every month since January 2012! We’ve also made Feedspot’s Top 60 Satire Podcasts of 2022 at number #7 (right behind The Bugle With HBO’s John Oliver).

(https://blog.feedspot.com/satire_podcasts/)

We haven’t made a cent and have two laptops, Zoom and Garage Band. Oliver’s been paying way too much for his show, we reckon. Today we try to figure out why America hates Uncle Joe. We sift through the Washington political stuff and invite you to pull up a stool and enjoy our big party. 

Bill Show #287: Happy Omicron F@cking New Year.

The Omicron Variant continues across the US and the world. Joe Biden gives Trump coup plotters a stern talking to. Problem solved. We bask in the glow of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. We discuss the lack of voting rights and check out the American political fun park. Clips, comment…and jokes. Many jokes. Pull up a stool and don’t hog the bar snacks. Excuse the language. Really. 

Blll Show #286:A Very Dickins Christmas…(from Kelloggs!)

We check into the most well known conspiracy in Washington…traitors in Congress and inside the White House were attempting to overthrow the United States Government. Literally a fascist coup. Someone should get busy prosecuting. We discuss the bad news for the Sackler Family ( makers of the Heroin Training Kit, Oxycontin) and Lachan Murdoch at FOXNEWS. Bring popcorn. We look at the lovely corporate screw job that is the “Fruit Loop aristocracy”…Kelloggs. Unions are back. We discuss. Randy has all the Christmas gifts for the year. Pull up a bar stool one last time in 2021.

The Omicron Varient (Starring Telly Savalas and Charlton Heston: circa 1972 Dystopian Thriller..in colour)

We’re back from break to welcome The Omicron Variant (the Robert Ludlum answer to COVID) to our doors. We take a look at the last month with clips, commentary from US politics  (with the occasional fart joke).

Bill Show:#284: Where Oh Where Is Merrick Garland?

Donald J Trump conspired with Republicans to overthrow the United States government. Which brings us again to the question.

Bill Show #283 Money Talks...Will Climate Change Walk?

Two senators did what this show predicted and have the blocked second part of the “Build Back Better Act”. Why? The American Chamber Of Commerce might know. A shocking new poll from the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia reveals that over half of Trump voters surveyed, and 41% of Biden voters, are in favor of blue and/or red states seceding from the union. Anyone for a beer and a sing along?  We talk to our Val from Glens Falls...our number one fan (sorry about the recording...but it's Val! )Randy brings the clips along with an amazing piece of writing verbalised perfectly for the anti-vaxxer in your life. We’re back…pull up a bar stool…

Bill Show # 282: A Talk With Driftglass and Bluegal!

(After grabbing our chief technician by the throat and sacking him, we now release the actual episode...sorry...) On this podcast I get to interview the folks that inspired us to create a podcast. After 9 years on air, I finally get to interview the great people behind The Professional Left Podcast, Driftglass and Bluegal. We talk about their loving relationship and their activism, living in the midwest, the evolution of American politics in the last ten years and how we can keep our sanity and work for the greater good. Check them out on all your favourite platforms and don’t forget to support them with a contribution at http://professionalleft.blogspot.com. We had a great talk and we hope you enjoy it!

Bill Show #281: Remembering, Then Forgetting 9/11

We basically have just too much to talk about this episode. We reflect on 9/11. Marvel at the great and wonderful speech of George W. Bush…we were moved…then remembered stuff…damn that memory. Right wing radio hosts are dropping like flies, Joe Manchin is definitely possessed. The GOP lose in California and Australia is getting nuclear subs. Randy brings the clips and rants well. There will be drinking. Pull up a chair.
