Hey guys! Tonight was a lot of fun! I got to rip on the State of the Union address a little bit, and then Satnaam Singh Mago joins the show to talk about turbans in the military and Sikhism in America. Satnaam sheds some light on what he and others in his faith face every day in a post-9/11 world.

We also get funky with some Pharrell Williams, Daft Punk and Brothers Johnson… “Cause Sikhs like to party!” – Satnaam

Hope you enjoy!

– Jess

P.S. I announce on the show as well that this will be my last podcast for a few weeks, as I will be in China and unable to access much of anything online. But I will certainly be back in mid-to-late February, fresher than ever, to tell you about my crazy adventures. Stick with me, you won’t regret it!

Hey guys, welcome back! Tonight, in light of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and all the craziness that followed I decided to focus tonight’s show on RAAACISM in a post MLK-America. I take on the GOP, the NAACP, President Obama and Sarah Palin. Then, Washington Times writer and Breaking Beltway contributor Douglas Ernst joins in on the fun to help tackle NFL cornerback Richard Sherman, Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the creator of the #NotYourAsianSidekick hashtag, Suey Park.

We also rock out to Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light,” Etta Jones’ “Black Bird,” Pearl Jam’s “W.M.A.,” Depeche Mode’s “People are People,” and Marley’s “Redemption Song.”

Hope you enjoy!

Woohoo, tonight you have me all to yourself! On tonight’s episode I tackle sexting laws and Jimmy Kimmel’s ongoing row with Chinese Americans. Then I talk about people who have lost their damn minds — ex-cop Curtis Reeves who killed a guy in a movie theater for texting too loudly and a grandpa fight at the Wal-Mart checkout line. Then we travel on over to Hollyweird to rip Justin Bieber, Sean Penn, Anderson Cooper and David Russell.

We also rock out to some Toots and the Maytals, Johnny Cash, Warren Zevon, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Dr. Dog!

Hope you guys like it!

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Breaking Beltway! Tonight, I get to unload on Dennis Rodman, Greg Anthony and the Kim Dynasty, all while rockin’ out to some Duffy, Dispatch, ZZ Top and Bad Company!

Then, founder and CEO of Hestia Tobacco (and fellow libertarian) David Sley will join the show to talk about his 100% independent, 100% all-natural tobacco products. If you’re not ready to quit, but are looking to break free from Big Tobacco, just listen to the end of the show and I’ll give you an offer code for 15% off all Hestia products!

Thanks for listening!

Welcome back! I’m so excited tonight to wrap up the year with you guys! For tonight’s podcast, I’m doing a bit of a round-up. I usually record on Wednesday nights, but since I will most likely still be nursing my wine flu by then, I lazed through this one and am giving you a 2013 roundup of the funniest and most informative Breaking Beltway segments of the year!

Former co-host Katherine Timpf and I tackle Sharia law and online dating, Washington Times digital editor Douglas Ernst joins to talk about Pajama Boy and the wussification of American men; I solo blast militant atheism and play a song with Carly Harvey and Tristan Buckley; and 8-year-old Hailey Reece wraps it all up with her favorite thing about Christmas!

We also rock out to Sons of the Sea, The Neighbourhood, Robert Randolph, the Dead Weather, John Frusciante and Paramore!

Thanks for helping make 2013 a great year!

Welcome back! Tonight is a very special episode of Breaking Beltway, because TWO of my cousins join on air. Hailey Reece, who happens to be 8 years old going on 30, joins the show to talk about her favorite part of Christmas (Hint: It’s NOT the presents)! And Cori Chasmar joins in with me to help bash Planned Parenthood, which decided to celebrate Christmas by posting “The Twelve Days of Contraception,” only to pull it hours later. We also bash Sea World and the dying “circus culture.” It’s an all-out bashfest!

Hope you enjoy!

Merry Christmas, errrybody! Thanks for tuning into another episode of Breaking Beltway. Tonight, Doug Ernst joins the show to chat with me about a bogus new mental disorder called “affluenza,” where rich, white kids walk away with murder because they’re supposedly too pampered to know right from wrong.

We also tackle the infamous, cocoa-drinking Pajama Boy! …though he might enjoy that…

We’ll throw in some abortion talk, trash some celebrities, trash Obamacare and then top it all off with songs of the season!

Tonight’s playlist includes songs off of three albums from the “Very Special Christmas” series! We rock out to some Scott Weiland, Sting, No Doubt, Smashing Pumpkins, B.B. King and John Popper.

Most importantly, I want to wish all my listeners a very Merry Christ-filled Christmas. In the flurry of all the nonsense, it’s important to take some time out for family and friends. I have to remind myself every day. Thanks again for being a part of it!

Tonight. Was. Epic.

Thanks everyone for tuning into a very special episode of Breaking Beltway! Singer/songwriter Carly Harvey and musician extraordinaire Tristan Buckley join the show for a jam session and several bottles of JACK DANIELS. Carly belts out a couple of songs she does on the reg, like “Sexy and I Know It,” “Back to Black” and Aretha’s “Chain of Fools.” I also join in with an original song, “A Better Man,” and I cover Fleetwood’s “Dreams” and Smokey’s “Cruisin.'” Tristan accompanies us both on the guitar and busts out some sliiiide. He even sings a couple songs himself including a killer English folk song!

No politics on tonight’s show, just some raw, uncensored tunage and some ridiculously good laughs. I turned 4 1/2 hours of recording into this condensed 75-minute version of the tomfoolery that occurred. I hope you enjoy!

– Jess

P.S. Be forewarned. This episode ends pretty abruptly. I forgot to end the show while they were here and a solo farewell sounded “canned” 🙂 Enjoy!

2 Breaking Beltway takes on liberalism

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Breaking Beltway! Tonight, I was hungry for some LIBERALS.

First on the menu is Dayna Morales, a gay waitress in New Jersey who used her Marine status to peddle around a forged hate note. Not only was she dishonorably discharged from her service, but she once faked cancer!

Next up, New York City smoking laws. A health committee decides tomorrow on whether to ban electronic cigarettes in public places, in line with tobacco cigarettes.

For the main course, a horrifying new story out of the U.K. where an Italian woman visiting on a business trip was forced to undergo a C-section and have her baby put up for adoption because social workers deemed her an unfit parent.

And the third glass of wine I tend to substitute for dessert: The female CEO of Archie Comics, who is at the center of a sexual harassment suit by five other employees, says that she can’t possibly be guilty of harassment since all of the plaintiffs are white men!

I’ll also make a very important announcement that Breaking Beltway is moving to Thursday nights!

Hope you all enjoy!

Hey guys! Thanks for tuning into another episode of Breaking Beltway!

Tonight, I get to do a little fear mongering! First, I talk about the militarization of our local police departments who are snapping up armored vehicles that were used in Iraq at a significant discount. Also, I talk about some disturbing new developments out of New Mexico where three people have now reported they were forced against their will to be anally probed by law enforcement for drugs that never existed. I also tackle new reports of the knockout game that seems to be a trend that’s spreading like wildfire.

And I also rip on self-loathing, white boy rapper Macklemore who quoted MLK and honored Trayvon Martin at the AMAs.

Enjoy!
