The Dangerous Ones Podcast - Episode 005: Trump's Federal Purge

Tiny plastic particles—thanks to our polluted planet—are now floating around inside your body. What does that mean for your health? Can we even escape it? And finally, The People’s Hotline is open for business! We’re taking your calls, your rants, your unfiltered thoughts on the state of the world. Buckle up, it’s gonna get rowdy.

| 06 Mar 2025 | UNLEASHED: Trump & Musk’s CRUSADE Against Federal Workers | 00:09:09 | |
THE FIGHT FOR THE REAL DC We premiere a new video from Forward Frame Media that challenges the common narrative surrounding Washington, D.C. This impactful piece highlights the stark contrast between the city’s political landscape, often criticized for its dysfunction, and the dedicated federal workers who tirelessly ensure the smooth running of everyday life for Americans. From safeguarding our food and ensuring timely social security checks to protecting workers and preventing financial scams, these civil servants are the unsung heroes of our nation. Yet, they now face extinction from Trump and DOGE who are cutting vital services. ***** FORWARD FRAME MEDIA: Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/forwardframemedia.bsky.social Twitter - https://x.com/ForwardFrame Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/forwardframemedia Instagram - forwardframemedia & jessems42

The Dangerous Ones Podcast - Episode 004 - The People's Hotline
Welcome back to another hard-hitting episode of The Dangerous Ones! The People's Hotline is on fire with raw, unfiltered voicemails from listeners across the globe—calling out injustice, demanding change, and refusing to stay silent. We’re keeping the heat on and making sure these voices are heard. But it’s not just politics—there’s chaos on the home front too. Nick’s week took a turn for the worse when a flood wrecked his place, turning podcast prep into a dishwashing disaster. Lucky for him, The Dangerous Ones crew knows how to handle a crisis. And the calls? They do not hold back. Bailey brings the fire, David rallies the troops in Kansas, and Debbie from Colorado keeps hope alive in the post-election aftermath. Oh, and federal workers? They are pissed. Trump’s legacy and the DOGE debacle have them sounding off like never before. The Dangerous Ones isn’t just a podcast—it’s a movement. So pour a drink, strap in, and let’s tear into the highs, the lows, and all the madness in between. Let’s get dangerous.

THE DANGEROUS ONES | EPISODE 10 | DEMOCRATIC PREPPING: SURVIVING THE GOP America isn’t just bracing for another election—we’re preparing for survival
As the GOP slashes safety net programs, Americans across the country are being forced to “prep” for the fallout—not from war, not from natural disaster, but from Republican cruelty. This week on The Dangerous Ones, we’re exposing what’s at stake and what Americans are doing to prepare. Because the GOP isn’t just waging a political war—they’re waging war on the vulnerable.
The People's Hotline drives the conversation as we take call about:
📞 Blue Dots in Red states - You are NOT alone. 📞 What are YOU doing to prepare for the fallout of the Republican attack on safety net programs and resources? Callers from all around America sharing their tips and tricks on what to do now that the programs built to support The People are being decimated. We tell you what to put into a "Blue Out" bag 📞 The Tesla Boycotts - What say you? 📞 A survivor of sexual assault calls in to warn us: Her abuser now works in the White House. 📞 A veteran from a family that has served since the Civil War—is beside himself at Trump’s attacks on democracy.
This is real. This is happening now.
🎙️ Listen now. Stay informed. Stay prepared. And for the love of democracy—stay dangerous.

| 13 Apr 2025 | Social Media to Social Security with Rep. Jake Auchincloss | 00:47:11 | |
In this fiery and thought-provoking episode of The Dangerous Ones, we sit down with Democratic rising star Congressman Jake Auchincloss for a brutally honest conversation about corruption, chaos, and the creeping authoritarianism of Trump’s second term. From the crumbling of America’s global standing to the unraveling of vital institutions like Social Security, the VA, and the FDA, Auchincloss brings insider knowledge, historical clarity, and a call to arms for Democrats to reclaim their voice—and their voters. We also talk RFK Jr.’s deadly anti-science policies, MAGA’s war on truth, and what it really takes to counter disinformation and political apathy in a digital age. With humor, outrage, and a shared sense of urgency, the Dangerous Ones team—Jim and Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen—join Rep. Auchincloss to unpack the cultural, economic, and political battlegrounds shaping the next election. From veteran betrayal and Christian voter outreach to the threat of AI deepfakes and Big Tech exploitation, this episode is loaded with substance. If you’re ready to fight for democracy—and finally say something real about where we’re headed—this one’s for you.
