The Moderate Podcast

Happy Holidays!  We put together the pertinent parts of our 3-part impeachment series into one episode.  Hope you enjoy, and we will see you in 2020! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/support

This is our last "regular" episode of the year.  This week we talked about the Inspector General report and hearing, the Democratic primaries (including polls from California and Texas), the articles of impeachment and what "high crimes and misdemeanors" actually means.  And, we talk about Survivor and the controversy surrounding one of the castaways. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/support

This week we are back at full strength, and we talk about campaign financier George Nader's indictment, the subpoenas on President Trump's financial records, the upcoming Judicial Committee hearing, a spirited debate about the impeachment process, and Trump's mental fitness. We also talk about another crazy Survivor tribal council that had a surprisingly lackluster conclusion.

Admittedly, this week wasn't our best work. Interruptions and technical difficulties played a big role in the show. But, we were able to talk about some convenient omissions by the MSM, the big snow storm in the So Cal mountains, and Survivor. Hopefully we get back on track next week.

The impeachment inquiry hearings wrapped up this week, and a lot of talk surrounded the alleged corruption around two specific items Donald Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to look into. But what is CrowdStrike? And what is Burisma? Who is the prosecutor that Biden pushed to get fired? We will get into all of that, plus a new study on vaccines and autism, and the latest on Survivor.

In another long episode, we talk about the Roger Stone trial and its implications and the first public impeachment inquiry hearings. We also talk about a new podcast, American Election: Wicked Game, which looks at the history of each election starting with George Washington's election in 1789. We also talk about the latest from Survivor, which had a pretty fascinating double episode this week.

On this jam packed Veteran's Day edition of TMP, we talk about some of my dad's time in the military, the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Donald Trump, Jr.'s appearance on The View, and the upcoming public impeachment hearings. We also catch up on Survivor, talk a little wrestling, and we have some Seinfeld references.

In this special episode, I discuss the psychology of conspiracy theories, as well as some of the more prominent ones. I also talk about a couple of political conspiracy theories and where the truth lies in them.

In addition, I talk about some of my favorite podcasts. You can find out more about them in the links below.

Hillary is still bitter. Impeachment is still the top thing in the news, so of course we are talking about it. We also talk about the Democratic candidates and who Dad, who is still a registered Democrat, will support in the primary. We catch up on Survivor, the World Series, talk a little golf, and wrap it up with some hockey talk.

Twitter has been lit up with #deletefacebook and we'll get into what that all means.  We also talk about impeachments thoughts: then and now, the latest out of Syria, and a new Tesla feature.  Finally, we talk a little bit about the Dodgers loss (or the Nationals win, depending on how you look at it). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/support
