My first guest today is the co-creator of The Daily Show and Founder of Abortion Access Front (https://www.aafront.org/). AAF is a reproductive rights non-profit that travels the country doing comedy and providing aid and comfort to independent clinics in hostile states. I’ve been to South Dakota with them. Trust me, these local warriors need to laugh. Please welcome my friend and inspiration, LIZZ WINSTEAD (https://www.instagram.com/lizzwinstead/)!

And finally, she is a New York Times best-selling author (https://chanishop.com/products/you-were-born-for-this-astrology-for-radical-self-acceptance), creator of the viral CHANI app (https://www.chani.com/app), and host of the #1 astrology podcast in the U.S. and Canada, The Astrology of the Week Ahead (https://www.chani.com/podcasts/the-week-ahead), my dear friend CHANI NICHOLAS (https://www.chani.com/)!

And as always on the final mic, heard but not seen, my guy and co-producer of life, Corey Higgs. On today’s agenda we have:

1. PODCAST UPDATES aka why are we missing a guest who was on the flyer?

2. Jenny’s 2022 “Going Through It” podcast interview with Zohran Mamdani (https://mailchimp.com/presents/podcast/going-through-it/an-intervention-in-the-middle-of-kenya-with-zohran-mamdani/)

3. Colbert got fired and silencing political comics is not new: Lizz’s Rolling Stone opinion piece: “I Worked With Stephen Colbert. Here’s Why His Cancellation Should Scare You” https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-commentary/stephen-colbert-canceled-lizz-winstead-1235393208/

6. (AUDIENCE PICK) Why is there not more outrage about Dump's personal lawyer talking to Ghislaine Maxwell and why are we NOT talking to THE CHILDREN WHO WERE GRAPED, who have said they want to tell their stories?

7. That Jubilee Media video platforming the fascist and Jenny’s phone call with the Founder and CEO to give him feedback.

8. The world is currently ruled by conspiracy theories because most of us can’t sit with the crushing reality that racial capitalism is a death machine.

9. ACTION ITEMS

Because you don’t want to feel like you are losing your mind and because we long for a better world filled with fun, love, joy, and cool shit. This is What Should We Talk About? With Jenny Yang.
