After Party with Emily Jashinsky

On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily Jashinsky reflects on what we’ve learned from COVID school closures and mask mandates, the lasting effects on children, why she believes the country still hasn’t had a real reckoning with what went wrong, and what she sees as Democrats’ continuing blind spot on COVID and Anthony Fauci. She discusses the leftward shift of workplaces and the dynamics of female-dominated fields. Emily explains why she takes calls to “abolish” institutions seriously, why precise language matters in politics, and makes the case for viewing Thanksgiving as a “glass half full” holiday rather than defining it by the darkest parts of American history. She also weighs in on AOC’s shifting rhetoric and discusses her recent video defending Hasan Piker against misleading criticism from Scott Jennings. Emily answers questions about President Trump’s relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu and how intelligence from Israel may reach the White House. She wrestles with how America could actually fix its healthcare system. Emily dives into a complicated discussion about whether what happened in Gaza should be described as genocide, why she considers the UN’s definition overly broad, and why civilized countries should own up to mistakes. Emily also explains why she hates “Ted Lasso,” reveals how guests are selected for “After Party,” shares her problems with superhero movies, discusses destigmatizing marriage and starting a family at a younger age, and more…

Emily Jashinsky opens the show by reacting to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s stunning return to Britain and what it says about their failed, increasingly undignified attempt to reinvent themselves as American celebrities. Then Emily is joined by Michael Shellenberger, founder of Public.News, to discuss Alexander Vindman’s crushing loss to a DSA candidate and what it signals about the changing Democratic Party, new revelations about the transgender medical industry, and evidence Michael says exposes the FBI’s role in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story. They also dig into newly declassified documents involving Eric Swalwell and alleged Chinese intelligence operative Fang Fang, as well as the growing COVID reckoning, including former Fauci adviser David Morens agreeing to plead guilty to a federal conspiracy charge related to efforts to conceal government records and Michael’s increasing confidence in the lab-leak theory. Finally, Emily sounds the alarm over a disturbing wave of violent crimes involving illegal immigrants in Fairfax County, Virginia, and the progressive policies she argues have helped enable the crisis, and more…

On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily Jashinsky shares the funny backstory behind Adam Carolla’s recent comments about her and explains why she doesn’t think he actually remembers who she is. She responds to a listener who sees similarities between Anthony Fauci’s handling of the AIDS crisis and COVID. Emily also spends some time discussing modern media, how legacy journalists get major stories wrong in part because they distrust people who dissent from the elite consensus, why she’s selective about the shows she appears on, and why she doesn’t want to be used as a “prop.” Emily reacts to a comment about the great burrito debate and discusses what she found while researching how young people are actually spending their money.

She also addresses a number of faith-based questions involving Islam and Christianity, religious violence, and Christianity’s relationship with the Enlightenment and science. Emily reveals what skills she might bring to an apocalypse and makes the case for classical education. She rounds out the show by addressing a controversy involving her friend and frequent “After Party” guest Rachel Bovard, reacting to the “Breaking Points” subreddit, responding to reports about President Trump being moved from Air Force One over a potential threat, sharing some of her favorite sitcoms, assessing Michele Tafoya’s chances in Minnesota, and explaining why she thinks people should resist having personal conversations with AI, and more…

Emily Jashinsky is joined by Michael Malice, host of “YOUR WELCOME” and author of "The White Pill: A Tale of Good and Evil,” to discuss Wisconsin DSA candidate Francesca Hong’s narrow defeat and Hasan Piker’s recent push for “sewer socialism.” Michael also offers a fascinating history lesson on anarchist Emma Goldman and her evolution from revolutionary radical to fierce critic of Soviet authoritarianism. They react to Massachusetts’ disturbing new abortion law, newly released Fauci messages about COVID shots and pregnancy, and the lasting collapse of trust after the pandemic. Michael then unloads on former “Roseanne” star Michael Fishman for defending ABC’s firing of Roseanne Barr and offers a surprisingly sympathetic take on Rosie O’Donnell’s feud with Trump. Emily rounds out the show with the bizarre fight over Dobby’s so-called “grave” and what she believes it reveals about adults who struggle to let go of childhood.
