Trump's First 100 Days: The Good, The Bad, and The Bigly

May 02, 2017 13:34 - 1 hour - 54.8 MB

This week on a special edition of Sudden Depth, we complete a [fourteen] week[s]-in-review of the Trump presidency.  What were the best moments of the president's first 100 days? The worst? The bigliest?  Join us as we take a trip (or a stumble, depending on your point of view) down memory lane of a presidency that (almost) no one saw coming! All that and more on Sudden Depth!

Rashonologue - "America First," Made in China

April 23, 2017 00:30 - 8 minutes - 6.46 MB

Look! Up in the sky! It's Rashon! No, it's a monologue! No, it's a Rashonologue! Rashon tries, with varying degrees of success, to dissect President Trump's ever-changing foreign policy doctrine. The whiplash is strong with this one!  

The Trump Doctrine

April 18, 2017 13:37 - 1 hour - 54.2 MB

This week on Sudden Depth, President Trump drops here a bomb, there a bomb, everywhere a bomb, bomb!  We'll take a look at why the Trump foreign policy doctrine is about as silly as that Old MacDonald song.  Plus, left-wing protests continue to pop up around the country. Some of them are violent. None of them make any sense. We'll explain why. All that and more on Sudden Depth!

Face Full of Lies

April 11, 2017 13:43 - 1 hour - 54.7 MB

This week on Sudden Depth, United Airlines overbooks a flight, and therefore decides it's a good idea to yank a passenger out of his seat and drag him down the aisle off of the plane. In other news, millions of would-be United customers decide it's a good idea to yank their business away from United Airlines. Plus, Obama & his crew lied their faces off about chemical weapons use in Syria last year (that's why John Kerry's face looks the way it does.) How should Trump & his crew react going fo...

Judg(e)ment Day

March 28, 2017 13:46 - 1 hour - 54.5 MB

This week on Sudden Depth, the Republican Party shows just how incompetent it is yet again in its failed effort to repeal Obamacare. Plus, the Democrat Party shows just how intransigent it is in its soon-to-be-failed Neil Gorsuch filibuster effort. Incompetence vs. intransigence. . . this is who we elect to Congress. WHY? We'll try to figure out that and more on Sudden Depth!  

I'd Wiretap That!

March 07, 2017 14:30 - 1 hour - 54.8 MB

This week on Sudden Depth, so many topics to cover, so little time! (And yes, we consider 60 minutes to be "so little time.") We take on President Trump's allegations of wiretapping by the Obama team, the "Obamacare lite" that the Republican Party seems to be trying to pass, the stricter enforcement of immigration law that's starting to happen, and yes, weed (the one issue where Democrats passionately defend states' rights). All that and more on Sudden Depth!

A Little Orange Lie

February 13, 2017 15:00 - 1 hour - 55 MB

This week on Sudden Depth, President Trump and members of his administration have a penchant for, shall we say, "stretching the truth." We sift through some of the exaggerations, hyperbole, misstatements, and straight-up lies that have come out of the White House just since the inauguration. Is Donald Trump speaking truths that nobody else has the courage to say, or does nobody around him have the courage to say to him that he's not speaking the truth? All that and more on Sudden Depth!

Divided We Fall

January 23, 2017 22:00 - 1 hour - 72.5 MB

This week on Sudden Depth, Michael Tseng fills in for Alex! The era of Trump begins at a time when the nation is greatly divided. We explore how the strained relationship between the Trump administration, the media, and the Left is helping to divide America. Plus, women's march protests were held in cities around the world this past weekend. We try to figure out what their actual complaints were. Finally, Houston lawyer Joseph Quezada joins the program to explain why he and the Latino communi...

This week on Sudden Depth, just days before Donald Trump's inauguration as the 45th President of the United States, we take a look back at the President-Elect's top 10 "greatest hits" during the campaign. How was he able to survive controversy after controversy to be elected to the highest office in the land? And what does that say about the next four years under a President Trump? All that and more on Sudden Depth!
