Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

You're right. Lies is not a strong enough term for what Alex Jones did. The term you're looking for is "stochastic terrorism."
He fired up his frothing minions in the same way a radical imam stokes the fires to cause acts of terrorism.
And if failed have to move ten times, the harassment has definitely reached three level of terrorism.
But Alex Jones will not be charged with stochastic terrorism because he's not a Muslim.
Trump saying that the FBI has gotten into his safe is code to his coconspirators for "You are not safe. They have your connection".
I don't get why people didn't like the name 'Build Back Better' in the US.
In the UK that name would have been very popular. The alliteration, 3 words, catchy. Like 'Hands Face Space', except it's connected to something people actually want.
DeSantis scares the living daylights out of me….. Harvard educated fascism…. book banning, gay bashing, anti women’s bodily autonomy or bodily autonomy for anyone….. anti freedom of speech in the higher institutions of learning……
I'm 65, not 80 but I still hate it when you guys joke about how old Biden is assuming he doesn't know what the web is.You guys know Boomers invented the personal computer and the first public browsers, right?
Passing FBI agents in the hallway. Ha! Honestly, say it 10 more times. I smile every time.
That's one of the problems with America having such a short (written) history. Most places have only ever been one thing. What was West Virginia before it was a coal state? If they don't know how they existed before the coal then how can they see themselves without it in the future?
The reality is that coal is only a short blip in the history of West Virginia, and that there are other, better, cleaner, ways of making a name for yourself than bring coal country.
Take Manchester for instance. When the factories closed down after the Industrial Revolution what did they have left? 2,000 years of written history on that same spot dating back to the Romans. And now they could host Eurovision on the flip of a coin.
I work in retail now over the summer and lots of Trumpers come by and blame Biden if our coupons are for 15% not 20%. They will never NOT blame Biden for everything that is not perfect for them and they will never NOT give Trump credit for anything that makes them happy. Some people are incapable of thinking beyond villains and heroes on every topic.
Is it just me or does anyone else see the bar scene in Star Wars when you see a bunch of democrats together
Are the walls really closing in this time for Trump??😂
Keep the TDS going! Stupid ass libtards…smfh
IF nothing but DEMS voted for this in the Senate, why did you say The Senate passed INSTEAD OF "DEMS IN THE SENATE" PASSED ?????? IF there were no Repug votes why don't you ALWAYS say that?
I thought Biden had Alzheimer's
This is an lgbtq show
There was no siege on Mar-A-Lago. Employees just let the FBI right in. It was a love fest! Go home, FBI. We love you. You're very special people!
"Where would we start in explaining Dark Brandon to Biden?"
"In the 1940s in Bletchley Park…"
😂😂😂😂
What part fights inflation lmao 🤣
Y'all are on the level 💪
I don't think Alex Jones and his ilk will suffer any consequences.
I fucking hate Viktor Orbán. My grandparents were Hungarian, I have family in Hungary I'd love to visit, but I'm too afraid to go to Budapest because I don't feel safe there as a married gay man.
I find it difficult to care about any of this. But I hope some of you will help defeat the despicable Lauren Boebert in my district by supporting her opponent, adamforcolorado Fingers crossed.
How will cunservatwits be able to differentiate tronald dump's face from the orange jumpsuit? Where does one end and the other begin?
Lovett: “It’s great that this happened, because the alternative was it not happening.” 😂 I was laughing so hard. 😂😂😂
Wonderful list – I've typed it and will post it in my car window next to my sign that says VOTE DEMOCRATIC FOR DEMOCRACY
Wait till midterms, red wave!
Is this Pod Save America? These guys seem familiar.
You guys are hacks lmao 😂
So if Republican’s get into Power in 2023 People still are not Listening to the Republican Party NAZI Authoritarian White Supremacist Goal’s. Mix race people will be in concentration camps along with the LGBTQ And all people of Color so don’t vote because you didn’t get what you want. I’m going to Canada this year to see how I can make Canada my home. This is How Dangerous The Republican NAZI White Supremacist Terrorist Trump cult party is..
So these are the libtards?
Trump 2016: "You see the mob takes the Fifth, If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"
Trump 2022: “I plead the fifth”
It’s funny after listening to both sides of the political spectrum, I find that both Republicans and Democrats are the exact same. They sing the same tune against each other. I guess it really is impossible to be non biased anymore. It’s either one side or another. My opinion is gonna anger a lot of people but Biden is mentally deteriorating. Kamala is a giggling moron. Trump is a loud mouth asshat that is too obsessed with tweets. Everyone in this country is part of some team rather than actually doing any listening or due diligence. Sorry for the rant but I’m sick of both sides and their cheerleaders. I’m just hoping that I someone reads this and realizes that these rants and name calling is childish and deviates from actually making any progress.
This softball question about "what do you say to more progressive people like Bernie Sanders who say more should be done" completely misses the point. Democrats had a 50 vote victory that was a chance to actually put items across the finish line and they balked to pass things THAT THEY PREVIOUSLY VOTED FOR. This opportunity may never arise again. It's not that we wish more could be done, of course we do, this is a bad faith framing of what Sanders was doing. It's that we EXPECT our elected officials to do what we voted them in office to do. I found it infuriating that Warnock was like the only senator that stood up for 1 singe item of a list of items that were generally easy 50 point passes. Those amendments were not "progressive", they were the democrats OWN already voted for agenda given back to them, and they threw it on the ground.
Hahaha its gotta be hard to be entertaining when you cant go after the dummy in office. Cause your uncle Obama would have yall neck. This show is peer trash.
"Your beliefs don't make something true."
Very satisfying to hear Jones being told that.
Wish judges were willing to say that more – including to large groups of people who think the opposite.
Democrat’s trying to make energy cheaper? Yet it is more expensive now that an it has ever been under this administration? The gas lighting is top notch I will say
Biden did have some wins, but the raid will prove to big his biggest loss.
I'm disappointed in the Inflation reduction act, but I'm also very happy that something was passed. Best thing is that we now have something to work with. I believe in time things will be added to and amounts will be increased. This will benefit The country, climate, and the American people, so in the end I believe it's a good thing.
Jump on The Boys bandwagon please, you'll love it, its also, super relevant of our times!
We got em, we got em. Punk, u ain't got nothing. Mark my words. This is political theater to try to get Trump not to run in 2024
Crooked media.. hmmm, excellent and accurate title
Lovett being constantly stoned and talking sh*t is beginning to annoy me. He’s a bit obnoxious and less funny when he’s baked. Keep it for after work dude. More and more awkward laughs from his compadres every week…
The word conartist comes to mind
Y'all should listen to Jon Lovett and watch The Boys. They hold up a very dark mirror to current American politics and Trump w/out mentioning Trump.
