Gen-Z Isn't Buying Donald Trump's Bullsh*t
May 6, 2026 · 25 min
Isaiah Martin joins Jo Carducci on this episode of The Siren Podcast. Gen-Z isn’t buying what Donald Trump is selling. The job market for recent college graduates is almost non-existent. Business are laying off employees en-masse. Grocery and gas prices have skyrocketed. And Donald Trump has not delivered on his promise of bringing down housing costs, let alone being able to jump start a family. In other words, everything we expected from a second Trump presidency. But still, millions of young p…
BREAKING: Trump Threatens to Take ABC Off the Air & Use TAXPAYER FUNDS for WH Ballroom
Apr 30, 2026 · 1 hr 23 min
The Trump family’s attack on the freedom of speech rights of private citizens continues, as today, we learned that Trump’s FCC plans to challenge ABC station licenses amid Melania’s feud with Jimmy Kimmel. For the administration that was apparently going to “make comedy legal again,” it seems that only applies to people they dislike. This is not the first time Donald Trump or members of his family have resorted to authoritarian tactics to silence comedians who make jokes at their expense, or rep…

'A Disaster of Epic Proportions': Veteran Amy McGrath on Trump's Iran War & Flipping Kentucky Blue
Apr 11, 2026 · 28 min
It’s been a month since Donald Trump unilaterally and illegally launched the United States into a war with Iran. And what has the United States gotten out of this war, which was apparently so important that it had to happen without Congressional approval or notification? To put it simply: Nothing. Today’s guest on The Siren Podcast, Amy McGrath, called this war “the worst strategic defeat in my lifetime.” McGrath knows a thing or two about the military and armed conflict. Over her 20 years of se…
Trump's Iran War Talking Points Are Nuking MAGA
Mar 6, 2026 · 52 min
Since Donald Trump launched the United States into an illegal war with Iran, MAGA has found itself in an impossible position, having to contort themselves into a pretzel in order to perform a 180 degree flip from anti-war isolationists to Bush/Cheney 2.0. On this episode of The Siren Podcast, I spoke with former U.S. representative Denver Riggleman about the latest updates to the Iran War. MAGA mouthpiece and right-wing propagandist Karoline Leavitt recently said Trump had a “feeling” that Iran…

At the same time, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon has been making the rounds saying ICE agents will surround polling stations this Nove…
January 6th Hero Harry Dunn is Running for Congress!
Feb 8, 2026 · 30 min
Before January 6th, Harry thought his entire adult life would go down a fairly regular route, spent as public servant in the role of a police officer, and one day retiring. But everything changed that fateful day on January 6th, 2021, when Harry came face to face with the worst of the worst white supremacists and insurrectionists, waving MAGA and Confederate flags in the halls of the Capitol building. These rioters hurled racial slurs at Harry as he fought to keep them away from members of Congr…
The Trump Regime Is Creating A Surveillance State With ICE

He has now been kidnapped by ICE, and is being held with his father inside an ICE facility in Texas, likely inside the notorious cages we’ve seen so many pictures of. On this episode of The Siren Podcast, Jo is…
Will There Be A Blue Wave in 2026? Here’s How We Can Ensure It Happens
Jan 19, 2026 · 44 min
Like many of you, I am constantly thinking about what’s going to happen in the 2026 midterms, which if you can believe it, are less than 10 months away. Unfortunately, we don’t have a crystal ball. And if there’s one thing we learned from 2024, it’s that polls can be wrong. What we do have is data, which can predict which candidates have the best chance of winning and which districts are going to be the closest. That’s why on this episode of The Siren Podcast, I had the honor of being joined by…

Dec 15, 2025 · 41 min

Nov 4, 2025 · 53 min
Jo sits down with Jack Hopkins—a former Republican, Navy vet, and host of The Jack Hopkins Show podcast—to rip off the polite tape and get right to what’s freaking everyone out: Trump playing toy soldier with the National Guard and threatening to turn the military against regular Americans, all for the sake of television optics and a bigger slice of power.
