Largely setting aside the (deservedly) hot topics that enflame our current politics – LGBTQ+ rights; abortion rights; climate change; The Wall – JiuJitsu Red to Blue measures TODAY'S Republicans by their own metrics. Without screeching or preaching, Durkin simply asks, Is the MAGA-MIRED GOP really tough on crime? Good for the economy? Notably proficient at non-sex education?

  • S3 E11) Polling Is Trolling, Part 7394
    Jun 13 2024

    Host Tish Durkin has said it before and will say it again: ignore the polls. They’re basically bin liner. Lest this sound like happy talk to calm the nerves of Biden supporters freaking out over the bad numbers that are sticking to a good president, consider Michigan — where Biden’s numbers may be artificially good. In that swing state's Democratic primary in February, more than 100,000 Michigan voters backed “uncommitted,” and many insist they remain a definite ‘no' on Joe. This isn’t a game ender, but in a tight race, it could be a game changer. Yet this does not show up in public polls, in which Biden’s numbers are the same as they were before the October 7 Hamas attacks. So: beware the polls. Better yet, ignore them.

  • S3 E10) Black Like Trump
    Jun 6 2024

    Donald Trump insists that his status as a convicted felon actually helps him — and not just with his base, but with a crucial part of Joe Biden’s: African-Americans. Trump and his GOP swear that Trump’s legal troubles make him relatable to Black men in particular, because they are all victims of a justice system that is rigged against them. Once she is finished choking on that ridiculous argument, host Tish Durkin shows how Biden can turn it right back on Trump, by having African-American male surrogates hammer, and re-hammer, the many, many ways in which a rich and famous white real-estate heir who has got other people paying millions to cover his lawyers’ fees is *nothing* like the average Black defendant, and has no business pretending he is.

  • S3 E9) MAGA MEN ARE MICE
    May 23 2024

    In rhetoric, MAGA men are made to run the world. In reality, they don’t even rule the roost.

    Kansas City Chief/conservative Catholic spokesmodel Harrison Butker recently went viral admonishing female college graduates to stay home and support their husbands‘ worldly dreams. Meanwhile, Samuel Alito became the second MAGA man on the Supreme Court who couldn’t keep his own wife away from the insurrection. (Clarence Thomas was the first.) Host Tish Durkin considers the talk versus the walk.
