   2026.09.11: Special Guest Cliff Cash

   MAGA is losing its grip, but that does not mean the danger is over. Comedian Cliff Cash joins hosts Chris and Mark for a blunt, funny, and absolutely unfiltered conversation about what happens next, from voter suppression and election cheating to why culture, schools, and media matter more than ever. Cash does not just talk politics from the sidelines. He has built a massive audience by mixing stand-up with direct resistance, using his platform to call out Trump, MAGA, and the systems he believes are fueling authoritarianism. Mark Davis brings the urgency of a candidate on the front lines in Florida, while Chris presses the case that America cannot keep sleepwalking through this moment and expect democracy to survive. You'll hear sharp arguments about election integrity, disinformation, Fox News, gerrymandering, public education, reproductive rights, and why so many people are still voting against their own interests. The conversation also gets practical, with details on organizing, turnout, and the kinds of direct action Cliff believes actually scare power. Cliff Cash is a nationally touring stand-up comedian known for merging comedy with activism and for turning his social media into a weapon against authoritarianism. He is also behind efforts like FoxTakedown and October Surprise, aimed at putting pressure on elected officials and the media machine behind them. Mark Davis is a congressional candidate in Florida's 16th District who is fighting in one of the country's most politically charged battlegrounds. If you are tired of empty outrage and want a conversation that sounds more like a warning shot than a lecture, this episode is for you. Essential listening for anyone who thinks the next election is just another election.
