The Humanist Report

Bernie Sanders hasn’t even announced his 2020 campaign yet, but that hasn’t stopped vultures in the mainstream media from looking for any and all reasons to attack him. Chuck Todd salivated over recent stories that were unfavorable to Bernie, and a pseudo-woke comedian attacked him for being an “old white man” (Ew!). Also, when it comes to more 2020 news we’ll talk about Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, and Cory Booker’s ties to Wall Street as well as the criticisms Tulsi Gabbard has recently received. These topics and more will be discussed in this episode, enjoy!

A reality television star has been President of the United States for two years now, and on his 2nd anniversary the government is shutdown due to a prolonged temper tantrum from the 72 year-old manchild. In addition to the sheer petulance of the President, the planet is suffering due to his aggresively anti-environmental deregulatory agenda. We’ll talk about those stories and we’ll also discuss the ongoing crusade against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and you’ll get a look at what to expect with regard to the 2019 legal battle over net neutrality. Enjoy the program, people!

2019 is here, but it feels like 2016. Why? Because we’re already seeing a repeat of what happened during the 2016 Democratic Party primary; the same smears against Bernie Sanders by the establishmet and media bias we’re all too familiar with. In this episode we’ll talk about that as well as how the 116th Congress is off to an abysmal start, Elizabeth Warren’s rough start to her presidential campaign, and key differences between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Enjoy the show!

It's that time of year again, which means old traditions—such as Fox News' 'War on Christmas' segments—will continue for younger generations.

With that being said, we’ll talk about Jake Tapper’s concern trolling over the cost of Medicare for All, and the Washington Post’s mind-numbingly stupid attack on Bernie Sanders’ ‘Stop BEZOS Act’ as well as an update to the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process, Trump’s grotesque lie about Puerto Rico, John Bolton’s threats to the International Criminal Court, Ted Cruz’s new scam, Blaire White’s exposé on right-wing political commentators, Ajit Pai’s attack on California’s net neutrality bill, Bill Maher’s advice for Democrats, and more.

If you can’t stand listening to Mike for too long this is NOT the episode for you. For everyone else, enjoy!

In this episode of The Humanist Report we’ll give you a bit of good news for once: progressives are starting to win. Not only were we able to influence the DNC to drastically reduce the power of superdelegates, but we’ve now successfully convinced a majority of Republicans that Medicare for All is the right option when it comes to American healthcare—but that’s not all we’ll talk about on this show! Additionally, we’ll take a steaming dump on Trump for loosening restrictions on the rules of engagement in Yemen, discuss Bernie Sanders’ plan to force multinational corporations off of welfare, look at John McCain’s legacy, Bill Maher’s sucking up to the establishment, Verizon’s recent net neutrality violation, and more!

We’ll also discuss one Fox host’s attempt to compare Denmark to Venezuela (spoiler alert: it didn’t go too well for her). Additionally we’ll talk about Betsy DeVos, Howard Dean, Bernie Sanders’ ‘Medicare for All’ plan, Ajit Pai’s testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee, and CNN’s surprisingly good coverage of Yemen. Enjoy the show!

In this episode of The Humanist Report we’ll talk about a progressive who scares right-wingers: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. There’s currently a coordinated effort by the right to smear and delegitimize her since she obviously poses a threat to them, and we’re going to call out some of the most egregious examples of their attacks; we’ll talk about a CBS journalist that called her the “Sarah Palin of the Left,” Fox News’ Diamond & Silk questioning her intelligence, and Ben Shapiro trying to gain attention by acting as if he’s entitled to a debate with her. We’ll also talk about Rashida Tlaib, Tom Perez’s betrayal, Nancy Pelosi’s hypocrisy, Cory Booker’s spinelessness, and more. Enjoy the show!

At this point, it seems like the odds are in his favor. We’ll also talk about net neutrality in California, Nancy Pelosi’s potential successor, possible censorship from YouTube, democratic socialism, late stage capitalism, and more! Finally, we’ll close the show with a discussion between Mike and Washingtonian congressional candidate Dorothy Gasque. Enjoy the program!

In this episode of The Humanist Report, we’ll talk about the aftermath of last week’s stunning victory by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Democrats responded by brushing off her win and Republicans responded by crying “Communist!” (as they do to anyone ideologically left of center). As a result of their smears, we’ll break down which political contingent is really radical in the U.S. and we’ll talk about the Overton window. We’ll also discuss net neutrality in California, the push for ranked-choice voting in Massachusetts, abolishing ICE, Trump’s SCOTUS pick, and more! Enjoy the show!

We’ll also talk about the Supreme Court, AT&T’s violation of net neutrality, an EU law that threatens memes and much more. Enjoy the show!

Additionally, we’ll discuss the tantrum establishment Democrats (and one DNC member) are throwing over the prospect of reforming the Party’s inherently undemocratic superdelegates system, and we’ll talk about why Chuck Schumer may very well be the Democratic Party’s most feckless leader… ever. In this week’s net neutrality news we’ll discuss the consequences of the FCC’s repeal of Title II, Ajit Pai’s lies on Fox News, and scandal #1,297,064 at the DNC. Finally, we’ll talk North Korea and partisan hackery with respect to that subject. Enjoy the show, folks!

In another jampacked episode of The Humanist Report we’ll talk about Bernie Sanders’ fight for American workers and criminal justice reform, his appearance on Bill Maher, and his recent run-in with Alex Jones at LAX. We’ll also talk about Trump’s assertion that he can pardon himself, and one of his most embarrassing contradictions yet. But that’s not all! We’ll also talk about televangelists, Candace Owens, the Samantha Bee controversy, corporate Democrats, and Gaza. Finally, we’ll close the show by talking with Colorado congressional candidate Levi Tillemann, who recently made national headlines when the 2nd highest ranking Democrat, Steny Hoyer, tried to buIIy him out of the race. Enjoy the show, folks!

In this gigantic episode of The Humanist Report Mike opens the show by calling on DNC Chairman Tom Perez to resign following his endorsement of Andrew Cuomo, which is a significant departure from his pledge to remain neutral during primaries.

Enjoy the show!

Aaaaaand we’re back to another disappointing and demoralizing news week. We’ll discuss how Israel slaughtered 60 Palestinian protesters and injured thousands, John Bolton’s threat to our European allies that choose to remain in the Iran deal, the diminishing prospect of peace with North Korea, and the sad fact that Gina Haspel will almost certainly be confirmed as the next CIA Director. We’ll also cover the DCCC’s corruption, Fox News’ overt propaganda, and one oligarch’s feelings about Bernie Sanders. Additionally, we’ll talk with Dianne Feinstein’s progressive challenger, Alison Hartson! These topics and more will be discussed in this week’s episode. Enjoy!

Dinosaurs in the Democratic Party establishment are driving the Party towards extinction; Bill Clinton wants Tom Perez to stop Bernie Sanders from gaining influence within the Party, Obama came out of hiding to endorse corporatist Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi stated she’s undoubtedly running for House Speaker again, a DNC member openly advocated that the Party should be able to rig primaries; these are all Demosaurs that should be regarded as ancient relics of the Democratic Party’s past, but instead, they’re continuing to drag down the Party in an attempt to fight off a progressive wave and cling to power. We’ll talk about Demosaurs this episode, but also make time for the Trumpasauros Rex and discuss his war on the poor, withdrawel from the Iranian nuclear agreement, and his war criminal CIA nominee, Gina Haspel. We should be sponsored by that new Jurassic Park movie for this episode. Seriously. Enjoy the show, folks!

In this edition of The Humanist Report podcast we’ll talk about the prospect of war with Iran and the possibility of peace in Korea. While Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, tries to bait the U.S. into invading Iran, Trump might actually be able to secure peace on the Korean peninsula if he’s able to thwart warmongers in his administration. We’ll also talk about MSNBC host Joy Reid’s weird lie, Ben Carson’s war on the poor, the Democratic Party’s bullying of a progressive candidate in Colorado, and why some state Democratic Party leaders want Hillary Clinton to return the money her super PAC took from the DNC.

In this episode of The Humanist Report we’ll discuss—for the second week in a row—just how incompetent and duplicitous American mainstream media is by spotlighting attacks from old media on progressive political commentators Jimmy Dore and Anoa Changa. Additionally, we’ll talk about how MSNBC host Joy Ann Reid’s anti-Bernie bias is impacting her coverage of the 2020 presidential election, and we’ll look at an even more despicable example of pundit stupidity plaguing Fox News’ Sean Hannity. Also, CNN and MSNBC go after Trump for misspellings… because why go after him where it ACTUALLY matters? Also, MSNBC ran a shameless, propagandist puff piece for their parent company, Comcast. These topics—and more—will be discussed in this addition of THR. Enjoy the show!

In this episode of The Humanist Report podcast, we’ll discuss one of the main culprits to blame for our current political predicament: American news media. Last week they cheerleaded Trump on as he illegally and unconstitutionally bombed Syria. Also, we learned the extent of the mainstream media’s corruption when a former MSNBC host, Ed Schultz exposed how much influence higher ups have on pundits’ content. We’ll also discuss UN Ambassador Nikki Haley’s hypocrisy when it comes to human rights, Democrats’ attempts to water down net neutrality legislation in California, Trump’s flip-flop on the TPP, the Republican Party’s war on the poor, Hillary Clinton’s ongoing control over the DNC, and why Bernie Sanders should endorse New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon. We’ll close the show with interviews from two progressive congressional candidates; Tamborine Borrelli of Washington’s 10th congressional district, and Tim Canova of Florida’s 23rd. It’s a gigantic episode that covers a broad range of topics… enjoy!

Just days after Trump signaled an end to the United States’ role in Syria, he’s seemingly moved away from that position entirely after news broke that another chemical attack occurred in Syria, with fingers pointing towards Assad again by neoconservative warmongers. To recap, last week there was a sign Trump would opt for a new hands-off approach with regard to our stance towards Syria, and now we’re on the cusp of further escalation there, which has broader implications with respect to U.S.-Russia tensions as well. Additionally, Trump reportedly asked a CIA official why a drone didn’t strike a house filled with innocent civilians. This is a new level of disregard for human life by a president, where civilians are now literally being targeted by the Commander-in-Chief. We’ll tackle these topics in this episode and also discuss smears against Bernie Sanders, net neutrality in Oregon, the Oklahoma teachers strike, Flint’s current water situation, and Kamala Harris’ refusal to reject corporate cash. It’s not the funnest news cycle, but hopefully you’ll find it enlightening anyway. Enjoy the show!

In this episode of The Humanist Report we’ll discuss the impact propaganda has on the American people; including how Sinclar Broadcasting forces local news anchors to read scripts and CNN’s pro-war propaganda. We’ll also talk about Israel’s brutalization of peaceful Palestinian protesters, the teachers strikes in Oklahoma and Kentucky, net neutrality in Connecticut, public support for Medicare for All… and more!

In this episode of The Humanist Report, we shine a light on the morally bankrupt, thuggish Republicans that bully others both domestically and internationally. We’ll kick off the episode with a rundown of Trump’s new National Security Advisor, John Bolton, who basically wants to invade very country, ever. We’ll then turn to the aftermath of the #MarchForOurLives protests wherein Republican politicians and pundits ruthlessly attacked the childern and teenagers that marched for gun reform. Additionally, we’ll talk about the CLOUD Act, Bernie Sanders’ resolution to stop Saudi’s atrocities in Yemen, Stephon Clark, net neutrality, health insurance companies that are buying off corporate Democrats, and changes to YouTube’s algorithm that’s hurting independent creators. It’s not too fun of an episode, but we’ve got you covered on some of the most important stories that broke this week. Enjoy the show!

With the implementation of Ajit Pai’s repeal of net neutrality around the corner, it’s now crunch time for proponents of a free and open internet. We’ll talk about how dozens of states are taking action to save net neutrality, and well discuss the upcoming lawsuit against the FCC. Additionally, we’ll address the #Resistance’s unwillingness to stand up to Trump’s terrible nominees, Mike Pompeoo and Gina Haspel. Also, we’ll talk Trump heartlessness, money in politics, media bias, and end the show with a tour of our brand new viewer-funded studio. Enjoy the show!

In this edition of The Humanist Report, we’ll tell you why Trump’s next Secretary of State is exponentially worse than his first, and we’ll talk about one GOP senator’s plan to permanently kiII net neutrality. We’ll also discuss Betsy DeVos’ cluelessness, the Republican Party’s push to legalize discrimination against the LGBT community, and the GOP’s corrupt attempt to deregulate Wall Street. When it comes to Democrats, Hillary Clinton still can’t let 2016 go, Rachel Maddow puts her hackery on full display, and Elizabeth Warren shoots down the idea that she’ll be running for president in 2020. We still haven’t finished building our new studio, but hope you’ll enjoy the show in spite of that!

Our new studio is in the process of being built, but political news stories don’t wait for NOBODY, so we’re filming in front of a wall to bring you news about how the Democratic Party has officially stopped trying to pretend that they’re progressive; we’ll discuss how the DCCC is attacking progressive candidates, Nancy Pelosi’s endorsement of a right-wing Democrat, Blue Dog Democrats that voted to deregulate Wall Street with their Republican friends in the Senate, and how one disgraced congressman—who already announced his retirement—might not leave politics altogether. We’ll also provide you with a net neutrality update, details about the West Virginia teachers’ strike, and Trump’s harmful policies that’s hurting American citizens. We may not have a studio, but the show must go on… enjoy!

In this edition of The Humanist Report, we take a moment to throw a bucket of cold water on politicians and pundits who are going bonkers over Robert Mueller’s indictments. This is fueling even more McCarthyism, and is even driving suspicion and paranoia about progressive politicians like Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein. We’ll also talk about the Parkland, Florida tragedy and share stories from students, along with ways they’ve turned tragedy into activism. Also in this episode we’ll discuss both left-wing and right-wing SJWs, Mitt Romney’s senate campaign, Dennis Kucinich’s gubernatorial campaign, net neutrality, the FCC’s investigation into Ajit Pai, and more! Enjoy the show, folks!

In this edition of The Humanist Report, we shine a light on President Trump’s morally bankrupt priorities by examining his new fiscal budget proposal. He’s choosing to prop up our bloated military budget and funnel money to private religious schools while simultanesouly slashing funding for social safety net programs like medicare, medicaid, social security, HIV funding, and more. Additionally, cuts to these programs will help fund tax cuts passed in late 2017 for the wealthiest Americans in the country. We’ll also talk about Trump’s vision for students burdened with loan debt; he wants to screw them over even more in a number of ways, and make debt even more troublesome for future borrowers. So we’ll talk Trumpian policy priorities and update viewers about progress we’re making on net neutrality. These topics—and more—are covered in this episode. Enjoy the show!

In this edition of The Humanist Report podcast, we shine a spotlight on the games Trump is playing on Americans. After a relentless corporate PR campaign, Americans are being told that one-time $1,000 bonuses from corporations suggests trickle-down economics works well for average workers (spoiler: it doesn’t). So we’ll tackle the misconception that Trump’s tax reform plan is good for normal, non-wealthy Americans, we’ll discuss the benefits of universal healthcare and the backlash Trump received from citizens in the UK after he attacked their National Health System. Additionally, we’ll talk about the influence Trump’s donors have on him, the “evidence” Ajit Pai is giving us to prove that his repeal of net neutrality is beneficial, and New Jersey’s enforcement of net neutrality. Also, we’ll tackle the Democratic Party’s ongoing cheating of progressives and shielding of corporate Democrats. All of these topics—and THEN some—are covered in this episode. Enjoy!

In this edition of The Humanist Report we’ll discuss an inconvenient truth about the Democratic Party: they’re only good at resisting insofar as that pertains to blocking progressives from electoral victories. We’ll talk about potential shenanigans that may occur in 2020 if Bernie Sanders decides to run again and how the Democratic Party establishment is shunning progressive candidates that don’t raise large sums of money from multinational corporations and billionaires. Additionally, Senate Democrats caved again, and DREAMers are now only relying on House Democrats to save them. Finally, we’ll talk about net neutrality and tell you what’s new and before the show ends, Amy Vilela will drop by to give us an update on her campaign. All of these topics are covered here—enjoy!

There’s a lot of individuals and institutions that claim to be card-carrying members of the #Resistance; however, they’re not actually doing anything to resist President Trump in a meaningful way. Democrats in Congress recently showed once again that they have no courage to stand up to Trump and the Republicans, and the media does nothing more than focus on Trump’s flubbs (and couldn’t care less about policy). What does this all amount to? A political situation where a right-wing extremist party has free reign to do anything they want with little to no checks on their authority. Also in this episode we’ll discuss Paul Ryan’s corruption, victories over the FCC, a poll that debunks the ‘Bernie Bro’ myth, U.S. foreign policy, and YouTube’s decision to demonetize small creators. All of these topics—and then some—are covered in this edition of the program. Enjoy the show!
