John talks about the expiration of the ACA tax credits. The enhanced ACA Premium Tax Credits (PTCs), which significantly lower health insurance costs, expired on New Year's Eve with no broad federal extension enacted, causing potential large premium increases for millions. He also discusses Zohran Mamdani who was sworn in as New York’s first Muslim mayor and the first immigrant to lead the city in a century. In a speech, Mamdani promised to deliver the most progressive leadership the city has seen. Then, he welcomes back Allison Gill of Mueller She wrote and The Daily Beans Podcast. They talk about Trump's vindictive prosecutions and the newest revelations in the Epstein files. Then finally, John jokes with TV's Frank Conniff on what 2026 holds in store.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John Interviews the band Howl Owl Howl. Founded by Grammy winning Hootie & the Blowfish frontman/multi-Platinum country star Darius Rucker, REM co-founder/Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Mike Mills, and The Black Crowes co-founder/ former drummer/ lauded media personality Steve Gorman, Howl Owl Howl rekindles the spirit of the authentic rock band. Infusing roots rock with an open-minded alternative flair – plus a fluid rhythm section and the barrel-chested vocal rasp of an iconic frontman – it was born from friendship and the pure joy of collaboration, and powered by the world-class instincts of true originals.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tara Dublin guest hosts for John on his holiday break. She talks about the piecemeal, haphazard, slow-trickle, fuckery release of the Epstein files. She also discusses reports that the US carried out airstrikes against targets in Venezuela over the Christmas holiday. Trump has made several contradictory statements to the press on the strikes, but it seems the target was a shipyard. Then, she interviews Alicia J. Rose who is a photographer, filmmaker and musician based in Portland. They talk about her show Menopunks which is a bold, unapologetic documentary that exposes the truth behind the science and the silence. The show is backed by a fierce lineup of iconic Portland musicians. Then, Tara welcomes the one and only Hal Sparks to talk music, Trump mayhem and other politics.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
