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
What The Flock Is Going On?!?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week the boys got some things to say. The main event is Flock Safety: what it actually sells, who's buying it, who's funding it (and what else that money funds), the competition, the technology's failure points, the cities walking away, and exactly what North Carolina signed up for when the SBI's camera pilot went statewide on 78% of the state's roads. From there: Karoline Leavitt steps down as press secretary with no replacement named and under 90 days to the midterms; the USS Abraham Lincoln passes 260 days at sea with sailors going overboard and the President calling it “not nearly long enough”; Trump signs a childhood-vaccine executive order that has doctors fired up; and the crew closes with a rare shared Spotlight on the Trump family's new bank charter.
Warning: the boys also take a minute near the end to talk about something closer to home.
