Pardon the Politics
Where chaos meets clarity in American democracy.
Every week, Pardon the Politics dives headfirst into the madness of modern politics - unfiltered, unscripted, and unapologetically sharp. Hosted by a rotating crew of sharp-witted political thinkers, journalists, and everyday policy nerds, this podcast makes sense of the noise coming out of Washington, your statehouse, and your social media feed.
From the 2024 presidential race chaos to the culture war chessboard, from SCOTUS shockers to viral congressional meltdowns - no topic is too hot, too complex, or too ridiculous. If it’s trending, we’re talking about it. With humor, heart, and just the right amount of side-eye, we call out hypocrisy, break down policy, and highlight the real-life impact of political decisions on everyday Americans.
Equal parts analysis, debate, and barstool rant, Pardon the Politics is where informed meets irreverent. Whether you’re doom-scrolling or running for office, this is the political podcast that keeps you smart—and keeps it real.

Pardon the Politics
Signal Hotline Bling
In this wildly insightful (and hilarious) episode of Pardon the Politics, Jeezy and Manny wade through the pollen clouds and into a full-blown national security scandal — yes, a U.S. military breach via a group chat on Signal. Dubbed Signalgate, the leak accidentally added The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief into a top-level conversation about military strikes in Yemen. From there? Pure chaos.
They dive into the tangled web of encrypted apps, shady transparency, and whether Pete Hegseth is running war plans through ChatGPT (complete with double hyphens). Plus: AI conspiracies, tin foil theories, and why GOP officials are sweating over tight margins and pulled nominations.
With humor, depth, and just the right amount of shade, this episode covers everything from allergy season to international intelligence leaks — all while asking: why does the U.S. government use the same messaging app as your friend group?
👉 Tap in. You won’t want to miss this breakdown of politics, tech, and the group chat gone wild.
