The East Wing Is Completely Gone- The Siren LIVE 10/24/25
It was yet another week filled with wild and disturbing news from the regime. But seeing the East Wing of the White House, one of the most historically significant buildings in America, fall victim to Trump’s latest egomaniacal desires was particularly hard to watch.It encapsulated everything that Trump and his acolytes are doing to our country. Their outright disregard for our laws, for our history, for the will of the people, and their embrace of self-serving pro-billionaire legislation, all while taking a wrecking ball to democracy, our rights, and our freedoms.Harry Dunn, Joel Rubin, and Sam Schwartz from The Siren also discuss prominent Trump ally Steve Bannon’s extremely disturbing interview in which he said, “[Trump’s] going to get a third term ... so Trump is going to be president in 2028. And people just ought to get accommodated with that,” he said in an interview with The Economist.“At the appropriate time we’ll lay out what the plan is. But there’s a plan. We had longer odds in ‘16 and longer odds in ‘24 than we’ve got in ‘28,” Bannon added.And of course, this is on top of key Trump officials declaring that Trump will use the National Guard to stop the midterm elections (New York Times), a pro-Trump operative buying Dominion Voting Systems and rebranding it “Liberty Vote,” and the GOP’s attempts to gerrymander and overturn the Voting Rights Act.The panel also discusses pardoned January 6th insurrectionist Christopher Moynihan’s felony charge after he made a terroristic threat against Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, as well as the need to support the Democrats running in the upcoming November 2025 elections.Please Like and Follow to show your support for The Siren network.You can join the community at thesirennetwork.com Hosted on Acast.

The Truth About January 6th Can’t Be Erased
In this powerful episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Harry Dunn, a Capitol Police officer who served during the January 6th insurrection. Harry’s story is one of deep purpose, resilience, and a steadfast commitment to truth. He recounted pivotal moments in his career, including witnessing history during the passing of Obamacare and the harrowing reality of January 6th, which he described as a violent insurrection against our government. His reflections on that day were sobering, especially as he addressed the current attempts to rewrite the narrative and the troubling pardons granted to some participants. Harry’s passion for community, democracy, and collective action reminded me, and I hope all of you listening, that we each have a role to play in shaping a more just and truthful future.Please Like and Follow to show your support for The Siren network.You can join the community at thesirennetwork.com Hosted on Acast.

"The Demolition of Our Democracy": Senator Andy Kim & Attorney General Matt Platkin on Protecting Democracy and Confronting Trump
It’s Friday, October 17th, meaning this Republican shutdown is officially tied with the 2013 shutdown, the fourth-longest in U.S. history at 17 days. We are rapidly approaching Trump’s previous record, the No. 1 longest government shutdown in U.S. history, which took place during his first term at 34 days long. Notably, there were zero government shutdowns during the Biden Administration.On this episode of The Siren Podcast, Jo is joined by New Jersey Senator Andy Kim for an in-depth discussion on the experiences and challenges he faces as a newly elected Senator during these insane times, the Republican Shutdown, and tomorrow’s No Kings protests. Jo and Senator Kim also discuss how the Republican party has completely been taken over by Donald Trump, and ceded their Congressional oversight. The duo also discusses how Republicans are currently treating themselves to an extended paid vacation, all while federal workers are missing paychecks.As of right now, more than 700,000 federal employees have been furloughed, and nearly as many are continuing to work without receiving paychecks.During the second half of the episode, New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin joins The Siren Podcast to discuss his work as the top law enforcement official in New Jersey, how Democratic Attorneys General are standing up to Trump in this moment, his lifesaving work to end gun violence, and the weaponization of the federal government in the form of political indictments of Trump’s enemies.Please Like and Follow to show your support for The Siren network.You can join the community at thesirennetwork.com Hosted on Acast.
