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
Happy 250th, America. We Need To Talk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Supreme Court closed out its term with four rulings in a single week.
Trump v. Barbara upheld birthright citizenship 6-3, striking down the executive order. West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox left transgender athletics to the states. NRSC v. FEC struck down coordinated party spending limits 6-3. Watson v. RNC upheld mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day, 5-4. The boys break down what each one actually means — and the constitutional thread connecting all four.
Then, America turned 250. 850,000 fireworks, a Sail Force in New York Harbor, and a Great American State Fair that the internet did not let live down. Jeezy and Chuck ask whether the country can tell its full history without flinching, and what the next 250 years are actually going to require.
Jeezy’s Pickle of the Week goes to Paul Pelosi and every driver over 70.
Manny spotlights North Carolina’s $34 billion budget, the first in three years. Chuck salutes an Air Force major who protested the Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela strikes on the Capitol steps, in uniform, knowing what it could cost him. And Jeezy closes with a direct word for men who’ve never had the space to say they’re not okay.
