Joni Ernst, Medicaid Cuts, and Taking on Lindsey Graham with Dr. Annie Andrews

Is Joni Ernst f’ing kidding me? We’re breaking down the viral Joni Ernst “we’re all going to die” Medicaid response and what it reveals about the GOP’s approach to healthcare. Then, special guest Dr. Annie Andrews—a pediatrician, public health advocate, and Democratic Senate candidate taking on Lindsey Graham in South Carolina—joins for a conversation about the real consequences of Republican Medicaid cuts, the fallout from RFK Jr.’s controversial tenure as HHS Secretary, and the party’s escalating attacks on children’s health, SNAP, and basic decency. Dr. Andrews shares her front-line perspective as a doctor and mom, why she’s running for Senate, and how the culture wars are distracting from policies that hurt families. Hosted on Acast.

West Point, Wild Rants, and Independent Media with Ron Filipkowski

Jo is joined by former Marine, prosecutor, and MeidasTouch editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski for a no-holds-barred look at a political news cycle that feels like a fever dream. Jo kicks things off with a blistering takedown of Trump’s West Point commencement speech—calling out the partisanship, culture war rants, and “trophy wife” nonsense that turned a solemn military tradition into a MAGA spectacle. Then, Ron joins to make sense of the headlines: Trump dangling pardons like party favors, cozying up to Putin, the right’s relentless culture war stunts, and the mainstream media’s obsession with palace intrigue over real accountability. Together, Jo and Ron cut through the noise, expose the hypocrisy, and remind listeners why independent voices matter more than ever.
