American Atheists at CPAC
E7Mar 21, 201621m

American Atheists at CPAC

Eddie Eagle
E8Apr 11, 201621m

Eddie Eagle

Bernie Voters
E9Apr 18, 201621m

Bernie Voters

Samantha discusses the New York promaries as John Kasich leaves no sandwich undevoured or Jewish person uncondescended to. Also, a panel of the most diverse humans imaginable tells Samantha why Bernie Sanders can—and will—become the next president.

Guantanamo Bay
E10Apr 25, 201621m

Guantanamo Bay

Kasich and Cruz pool their desperation to force Donald Trump into a contested convention. Replacing genocide practitioner Andrew Jackson with slave liberator Harriet Tubman shouldn't be controversial. Years of lawyerless interrogation at Guantanamo Bay failed to connect Murat Kurnaz with terrorism—but Samantha grills him just in case. Superdelegates don't look so bad when they alone can stop you from face-planting in front of the entire electorate.

E11May 9, 201621m

State midterms are even more boring than general midterms—and maybe more important. Case in point, North Carolina. Blink and you'll miss the sneaky trick anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers use to fool women into thinking they're abortion clinics. Michelle Branch closes tonight's show with more of her musical farewell to Ted Cruz, who will be missed in a perverse kind of way.

Super PACs
E12May 16, 201621m

The untold story of how Christian conservatives went from politically inactive to never shutting the hell up. Five councilwomen in Seattle have been receiving a lot of hate for the insidious crime of doing their jobs. Sam learns that the only thing sadder than Jeb Bush's super PAC is the guy who raised millions of dollars toward it: Mel Immergut. More thrilling sports talk from our favorite Seawards!

E13May 23, 201621m

Libertarian Convention
E15Jun 13, 201621m

Libertarian Convention

What can we learn from the mass shooting in Orlando? Whatever it is, you can count on our elected officials to ignore it. We didn't believe it at first either, but a state that seems to be doing a great job with improving mental health is... Florida? Full Frontal visited the Libertarian National Convention in Orlando, FL, where libertarians acted like total libertarians. Breaking News: New York 1's Pat Kiernan is sick of reporting mass shootings. So are we.

Tribal Courts
E16Jun 20, 201621m

Tribal Courts

Hey, NRA! Are those most of our elected GOP members of Congress in your pocket? Or am I just too depressed to finish this joke? Up next: a look at how Donald Trump is making crackpot paranoid fascist slogans great again. The U.S. is taking away the right of Native Americans to hear cases in their own tribal courts, and we're not even giving them any smallpox. We conclude with an act of kindness and compassion more powerful than any high-capacity assault rifle.

Muslim-American Reporting
E17Jun 27, 201621m

Muslim-American Reporting

It used to be Brits only drove on the wrong side of things. Then they voted on Brexit. Sam traveled to Dearborn, MI to speak with Muslims who had the audacity to do nothing wrong. They may not be getting everything right, but at least the Supreme Court is getting stuff done.
