On this explosive episode of The Dangerous Ones, we break down everything you need to know before hitting the streets for NO KINGS DAY, America’s nationwide protest against Trump’s wannabe-dictator military birthday parade. As the MAGA machine rolls tanks through DC, over 1,800 cities are rising up with peaceful power to say loud and clear: we don’t do kings. Hosts Jim Drastic, Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen deliver 10 critical protest tips, from knowing your rights and locking down your phone, to dressing for anonymity, avoiding agitators, and using your voice strategically. Whether you’re a seasoned activist or a first-timer, this episode will get you ready.
Packed with real-world protest experience, this episode is your guide to smart, safe, and effective civil disobedience. We cover 'GO BAGS', emergency contact prep, camera etiquette, the buddy system, and how to find joy and community in the fight for democracy. If you’re planning to protest Trump’s authoritarian showboating on June 14th, this is the episode you need. Subscribe, share, and get loud, because resistance isn’t just your right. It’s your responsibility.

In this episode of The Dangerous Ones, Jim Drastic, Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen expose the tidal wave of right-wing disinformation flooding social media to paint the peaceful LA protests against ICE raids as violent chaos. With Trump deploying both the National Guard and Marines under the guise of “restoring order,” the crew unpacks how these fear-driven tactics are part of a deliberate strategy to justify authoritarian overreach and ignite a culture war. From James Woods recycling old riot footage to fake Homeland Security accounts pushing Soros-funded brick conspiracies, the lies are not only absurd—they’re dangerous.
But the truth isn’t going down without a fight. The Dangerous Ones crew calls out the propaganda, reaffirms the power of peaceful protest, and urges listeners to stay grounded, vigilant, and loud. They remind us that nonviolent resistance has always been the most effective weapon against tyranny—and that staying home out of fear is exactly what the other side wants. With boots-on-the-ground updates, righteous rage, and zero tolerance for bullshit, this episode is a rallying cry for clarity, courage, and showing up.

Elon Musk wants you to believe he's suddenly the voice of the people. He called Trump’s budget bill a "disgusting abomination" and claimed politicians betrayed America. But come on. We see the playbook. In this episode, Jim, Tiffany, and Nick tear into Elon’s performative outrage, his efforts to rewrite history, and the billionaire grift that’s cutting Medicaid while padding the pockets of the ultra-rich. Spoiler: he doesn't get to be the hero.
Sixteen million Americans are about to lose healthcare, and Elon is only mad because it messes with the deficit and his investments. We break down the real motives, the protests that are actually working, and why the No Kings movement might be the loudest, clearest response yet. If you've been waiting for a reason to rise up, this episode is it.

No Kings Day is coming. On June 14, while Trump throws himself a multimillion-dollar military parade packed with tanks, jets, and paratroopers, Americans in all 50 states are planning to take to the streets in protest. In this episode of The Dangerous Ones, we break down the narcissistic circus unfolding in D.C., the $40 million price tag you're footing, and the deeper authoritarian play behind Trump's birthday bash.
This isn’t just a protest. It’s a national moment of resistance. With over 1,500 events already planned, No Kings Day is shaping up to be the largest coordinated action of the year. We dig into how to get involved, why online activism matters just as much, and how even the smallest mobilizations can send the loudest message. The bottom line? We don’t do kings in America. Not now. Not ever.

Mark Hays, Associate Director of Americans for Financial Reform, joins The Dangerous Ones to expose one of the most underreported corruption stories in America today: Donald Trump’s plunge into crypto. From meme coins to a shady new stablecoin, Trump is building a parallel financial system designed for influence peddling, foreign cash, and zero accountability. Hays walks us through the mechanics of the grift, the bipartisan bills enabling it. Yes, we’re looking at you, GENIUS Act and the very real threat this poses to our democracy and economy.
Forget the hype. Hays dismantles the illusion that crypto is decentralized or democratic and shows how it’s become a perfect vehicle for modern-day bribery and financial instability. We connect the dots between Trump, foreign autocrats, and a regulatory system asleep at the wheel. If you're not alarmed yet, you will be. This episode is your firewall before the next financial meltdown and a call to action before it’s too late.

What happens when the guy who wrote “Everything Is Awesome” for The Lego Movie sits down with The Dangerous Ones in 2024, when nothing feels awesome anymore? Oscar and Grammy-nominated songwriter Shawn Patterson joins us to talk about his unexpected journey from cult comedy and cartoon scores to writing one of the biggest earworms in pop culture. From childhood piano plinking to a seat at the Oscars, Patterson walks us through the surreal highs and weird industry lows that come with success in Hollywood.
But this conversation goes deeper than music. Patterson is also a fierce pro-democracy voice who brought his scoring talents to The Lincoln Project during the 2020 election and isn’t afraid to rage against the machine or the Mango Mussolini currently dismantling democracy. We talk art, activism, messaging, and why real change happens when people stop shouting and start listening to their neighbors. This one’s got everything: fame, fear, fascism, and a never-before-heard demo of “Everything Is Awesome.” Buckle up.

In this explosive episode of The Dangerous Ones Podcast, Congressman Mike Levin (CA-49) environmental attorney, climate champion, and fierce democracy advocate joins hosts Jim Drastic, Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen to expose the blatant corruption and alarming scandals of Trump’s second term. Levin calls out Trump's shocking "Flying Bribe" controversy involving Qatar's luxury jet gift and unpacks the disastrous "big beautiful" budget scam that strips healthcare, SNAP benefits, and funding from America’s most vulnerable.
From insider stock trading abuses on Capitol Hill to the quiet giveaways to corporate gun lobbies hidden in the GOP budget, Levin passionately lays out how the Republicans are attacking working families while enriching billionaires. Beyond policy, this episode dives deep into the human stories impacted by MAGA extremism from the heartbreaking deportation of the Gonzalez family after 35 years in America, to deadly human smuggling tragedies off the California coast.
Levin shares personal insights, solutions like the bipartisan Dignity Act for immigration reform, and highlights the urgent need to protect Social Security, veterans' rights, and environmental policies gutted by Trump 2.0. With a powerful mix of policy critique, emotional storytelling, and grassroots calls-to-action, Levin reminds listeners why fighting back against corruption, cruelty, and chaos in Washington matters now more than ever. 

In this gripping episode of The Dangerous Ones, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Joel Rubin joins hosts Jim Drastic, Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen to unpack today's volatile geopolitical landscape. Rubin provides critical insights into escalating tensions between nuclear-armed neighbors India and Pakistan, the chaotic state of U.S. foreign policy under Trump's second term, and the deteriorating American global image due to diplomatic neglect and controversial tariffs.
 
Joel Rubin also delves into complex issues like the breakdown of the Iran nuclear deal, the devastating conflict in Gaza, and why America's diminished diplomatic presence abroad poses significant threats to national security. Offering his extensive experience from the Peace Corps to Capitol Hill, Rubin emphasizes the urgent need for strategic diplomacy over aggressive tactics. Ending on an inspiring note, Rubin highlights the profound importance of public service and collective responsibility in navigating these challenging global crises.

What happens when the GOP tries to rig the rules of democracy—and one senator stands in their way? In this gripping episode of The Dangerous Ones, host Nick Knudsen sits down with U.S. Senator Alex Padilla of California to expose the truth behind the Republican-led SAVE Act, a dangerous bill designed to suppress the vote under the guise of “election integrity.” Padilla, a former California Secretary of State and the first Latino senator from the state, shares how his background as the son of Mexican immigrants shapes his fight for voting rights, democracy, and justice.
 
Together, they break down what’s really at stake—from Trump’s executive orders and GOP voter roll purges to the federal government deporting immigrants without due process. Padilla pulls no punches as he outlines what Senate Democrats are doing to stop the SAVE Act and why everyday Americans must speak out. It’s a raw, unfiltered conversation about power, resistance, and the real fight to keep democracy alive.

On this episode of The Dangerous Ones, we sit down, in-studio, with Emmy-winning producer, director, and political messaging expert Marshall Herskovitz (Thirtysomething, Traffic) to unpack how neoliberalism—an ideology masquerading as freedom—has quietly gutted the American dream. From the rise of corporate power and the collapse of community to the messaging failures of the Democratic Party, this brutally honest conversation digs deep into why things fell apart, and what it will actually take to build them back.
 
We talk messaging, memory, and mass mobilization, how Trump was defeated in 2020, and why it didn’t work in 2024, and what happens when America’s narrative collapses under the weight of unchecked capitalism. 
 
This episode is a call to consciousness and a blueprint for peaceful uprising, storytelling, and the rebirth of a shared civic identity. Watch now, and get ready to face the fight ahead.

In this absolutely unmissable episode of The Dangerous Ones, Jim Drastic, Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen sit down with the one and only Malcolm Nance—former Navy senior chief, intelligence expert, MSNBC analyst, bestselling author, and real-life warfighter who joined Ukraine’s Foreign Legion in 2022. With ten double espressos fueling him and decades of frontline knowledge, Nance unleashes a blistering, no-BS briefing on the global threats we’re facing—from Trump’s dark alliances to rising authoritarianism and the crumbling of democratic norms. If you’ve ever wondered how close we are to the edge, this conversation will blow your hair back.
We dive deep into Trump’s economic “Pearl Harbor,” insider trading scandals, and the terrifying ideology known as the "Dark Enlightenment," fueled by tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Nance connects the dots between Trump's destabilizing tariffs, a possible war with Iran, the quiet annexation ambitions in Greenland and Canada, and why even El Salvador is being eyed as a site for American-built “counter-terrorism centers” that echo the darkest chapters of 20th-century history. Along the way, we break down what the NSA really does, how crypto and AI are being weaponized, and what happens when dictators and Silicon Valley bros start writing each other's scripts.
From Russia and Ukraine to China, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Nance offers an uncensored, deeply informed look at a world on fire—and the man holding the match. It’s harrowing, it’s hilarious, and it’s a damn rallying cry. He ends with a bold call to action: June 14th. Show up. Stand up. Spoil the dictator’s parade. This episode isn’t just a podcast—it’s a warning shot.

#TheDangerousOnes #ThePeoplesHotline #ElevenFilms #DemCast

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.

ABOUT THE DANGEROUS ONES
The Dangerous Ones isn't just a podcast—it's a movement. Spearheaded by veteran activists and award-winning creators, Jim & Tiffany Drastic of Eleven Films, and Nick Knudsen, executive director of DemCast USA, this weekly pro-democracy broadcast stands as a bold alternative to the typical mainstream media Sunday morning news carousel.
Each episode ignites the airwaves with candid and uncensored discussions sparked by callers to their hotline, dubbed 'The People’s Hotline.' It serves as a powerful conduit for the voices of everyday Americans to sound off on how the current administration and its policies are impacting their lives and often their mental wellbeing. Jim, Tiffany, and Nick take great pride in amplifying these stories and, whenever possible, provide actionable solutions that harness the power of organizing, protesting, digital activism, and creative content creation.
Beyond the Sunday morning show, The Dangerous Ones create daily viral video content that focuses on breaking political and cultural news with their unique, hard-hitting style. They also craft in-depth articles for their successful Substack, 'The Teal and Orange Report'—named after the colors of their logo. Subscribers to The Teal and Orange Report enjoy exclusive access to videos, articles, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes content.
Produced by their company, TDO Media, in the creative district of Portland, Oregon, The Dangerous Ones is more than a podcast—it’s America’s people-driven, pro-democracy, alternative media powerhouse.
