Pardon the Politics
You didn't ask for the most chaotic political era in modern American history. But here you are watching executive orders fly, whistleblowers get silenced, world leaders get bombed mid-negotiation, and a president who apparently thinks Greenland is the size of Africa. Somebody's got to make sense of it.
That's where Pardon the Politics comes in.
Every week, co-hosts Jeezy and Manny, joined by the Chairman of Chaos himself, Chuck, bring you an unfiltered, unscripted breakdown of the biggest stories in U.S. and NC politics with the kind of honesty, humor, and cultural fluency you won't find anywhere on cable news. These are three brothers from North Carolina who cut their lawns, cheer for their kids, argue about the Patriots, and also happen to do their homework. Deeply.
Season 3 has already taken listeners through it all: Trump's bizarre Davos appearance, the Epstein files and the accountability that still hasn't come, the Tulsi Gabbard whistleblower scandal, tariff chaos in the courts, the last MLK Day we may ever see, a world that went to war without a Congressional vote, and the death of a Supreme Leader while diplomats were still at the table. And they're just getting started.
This is not a show for people who want to be told what to think. This is a show for people who want the context, the history, the real questions nobody's asking, and three real perspectives from people who live in the same America you do.
Where chaos meets clarity. New episodes every week.

Pardon the Politics
SCOTUS Slaps Trump’s Tariffs
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Team USA brought home hockey gold, but back in Washington, it was the Supreme Court delivering the real overtime shocker.
This week on Pardon the Politics, the crew breaks down the 6–3 SCOTUS ruling blocking Trump’s sweeping tariff authority and what it means for executive power, Congress’s spine (or lack thereof), and the looming instability of governing by executive order. Is this about trade policy or a bigger battle over the separation of powers?
We also unpack the complex legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon, political trailblazer, and a man whose roses came with thorns. From Rainbow PUSH to presidential runs to hot mic moments, we give flowers… and context.
Plus: Olympic pride, Canadian heartbreak, and why 2029 could be the most chaotic transition in modern political history.
Laugh with us. Learn with us. And as always, we rake everybody equally.
