Keepin it 270

Episode 23: Bad Bondi & Good Bunny

NJS is back in the host chair on Keepin it 270 and this week it’s all eyes on Capitol Hill. We break down Pam Bondi’s jaw-dropping performance in front of Congress as lawmakers pressed her over the release of the Epstein files. From evasive answers to her stunning refusal to apologise to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, we react in to what will go down as one of the most politically tone-deaf appearances in recent memory. Why take that line? Who was she protecting? And what role does Donald Trump play in the strategy, the silence, and the spin? We unpack the political calculus, the media cover, and whether this moment cements Bondi’s legacy as the worst Attorney General in modern American history. Then, in a slightly lighter (but equally revealing) turn, we look at the right-wing meltdown over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance — with special attention to Megyn Kelly’s unfiltered outrage. Why is there endless fury over a halftime show, but deafening silence when the Epstein files are on the table? Accountability, hypocrisy, and selective moral panic — it’s all here.

Episode 22: Executions in the Street

After a long sabbatical, Keepin It 270 is back. Host NJS is joined by longtime ally and Canadian friend Kelley to break down the killing of another American citizen in Minnesota. We dig into Homeland Security’s actions, the federal government’s response, and the blatant, shameless lying that followed — and ask whether justice in America is even possible anymore. From there, we run head-first into the wreckage of Trump’s first year back in power: kidnapping presidents, threatening longtime allies, falling asleep in meetings, and overseeing apparent war crimes carried out under the banner of “drug enforcement.” The speed of America’s decline has been staggering, and we talk about how it happened so fast — and whether countries like Australia can avoid going down the same road. We close by stating the obvious: this is all a distraction from the Epstein files. Always has been. And in the middle of the chaos, Kelley reaches back to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure to offer the one piece of advice that still matters — be excellent to each other.

Episode 21: Putins Useful Idiot & Paper Straws

Saegi is back, joined by Keidi in Estonia, to break down the whirlwind that is Trump’s first month as President. We dive into his alarming comments on Ukraine, his coziness with Putin, and what it all means for Europe—especially the Baltics, where Keidi weighs in from the ground  We also dive into Elon Musk’s controversial ‘salute,’ his many conflicts of interest, and the disinformation he spreads on X despite having the real facts at his fingertips.  Plus: Did egg prices ever actually matter? What do Trump voters see as success?  Somehow, we find common ground with Trump on straws while laughing at the absurdity of how a female president would be treated if she whined daily about unfairness.  Keidi gives her take on what the future looks like for women in the U.S. and beyond if right-wing parties keep gaining power , before we close things out with an inspired speech from the Governor of Illinois. A packed episode—don’t miss it!  Connect with us: Instagram @ keepinit270 Snapchat: @keepinit270

Episode 20: What’s Next for the Trump Administration?

Look out folks! Morris returns to Keepin’ It 270 to dive into what’s next for the incoming Trump administration. After a musical interlude we break down how the Republicans struck a chord with everyday Americans, why the Democrats stumbled even before campaign season, and hotly debate how immigration narratives shape public opinion.  We also turn our attention to the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Israel—predicting possible resolutions and reflecting on Israel’s response a year after our last discussion. From drilling for oil to tariffs, we debate the policy battles ahead and consider what the Democrats need to recalibrate going forward. Plus, AOC impressed us both with a moment of introspection—what can the Democrats learn from this for the future, to recapture the working class? All that and even a little Matt Gaetz on this packed episode of Keepin’ It 270! Connect with us: Instagram @ keepinit270 Snapchat: @keepinit270

Episode 19: Unpacking the US Election

Nathan is joined by guest host Taylor to break down Donald Trump’s election victory and the aftermath.  Where did the Democrats’ message falter? Why was Trump such an effective messenger? We analyze exit polls and the factors that made this election an uphill battle for the Dems, from inflation and immigration concerns to the Ukraine war.  We also explore how each campaign interacted with different types of media and why this will be crucial going forward.  Looking ahead, we discuss how Trump might approach Israel and Ukraine policy, and what legislation he’s likely to push. Nathan voices his concerns about Trump’s most troubling impulses, which were on full display during the campaign, and laments the Democrats’ failure to resonate with a wider audience.  We wrap up by emphasising the importance of getting money out of politics to build a better system for all Americans, and that if this election has triggered something in you, to get activated and do something constructive in your own communties!
