In this week’s episode of Politics with Pops, we break down the top headlines from June 15–21—and they’re as heavy as they are important.

We start with the heartbreaking case of Adriana Smith, a pregnant woman whose family was forced to keep her on life support just so she could give birth. Then we move into rising global tensions, discussing the U.S.'s involvement in bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. Finally, we take a hard look at the Trump administration’s move to dissolve the LGBTQ+ national suicide hotline, and what that means for vulnerable communities.

As always, expect sharp perspectives, heated exchanges, and a few moments where we actually agree (kind of).

Tune in for a tough but necessary conversation—because politics isn’t just policy, it’s personal.

This special topic on Politics with Pops, we’re tackling one of the most talked-about (and argued-about) issues in America: free speech and censorship.

From banned speech in schools to the media’s role in shaping the narrative, we break it all down with our usual mix of sharp takes, playful jabs, and just enough generational tension to keep things interesting.

Is censorship keeping us safe—or just shutting people up? We don’t always agree, but we do always have something to say.

Join us for an honest, lively convo that might just make you rethink what “free speech” really means.

In this episode, we dive deep into the nationwide “No Kings” protests and the powerful demonstrations in LA against ICE. Were the protests considered peaceful? We break it down from both sides of the aisle. Plus, we touch on Trump’s military parade spectacle, and the increasingly bizarre Trump x Elon dynamic. Protest, power, and plenty of pushback—it’s all here.
