The Bill Show: Politics This Week

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).

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. 

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. 

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.

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).

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

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…

(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!

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.

(Due to a technical problem, the previous release of The Bill Show: #280 was incomplete...here is the full show!) Republicans spend their time condemning Biden for getting out of the bloody war they started 20 years ago. Texas and the Supreme Court shred Roe VS Wade. We personally take on Tucker Carlson as he slams Victoria Australia (where we are) for being a “police state”. I’ll try to remember that while I’m shopping at the farmer’s market. We show you an example of Murdoch’s international push to slander Joe Biden on FOX owned media overseas. Randy brings the memes and tweets. We also discuss how GOP death from COVID may effect the vote in key states during the midterms. 

We're in lockdown in the Dystopian Authoritarian Hell of Tucker Carlson's fever dream.  Anyway...since we're in lockdown we thought we'd give you a taste of "Bill and Randy at the Movies". Today we share some great films...YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T SEEN...that are available if you find yourself bored with Netflix with a cat staring at you during COVID lockdown. We hope you enjoy it!
