What Is Wrong With Men?

The January 6th Riot Fund

This week in The Rally Room, we’re asking a simple question: if January 6th was “not a big deal,” then why is there now a nearly $2 billion federal fund connected to the people involved? For years, Americans were told it was overblown, that the rioters were just “patriots,” and that Donald Trump had nothing to do with it. But now, a new “Anti-Weaponization Fund” is raising bigger questions about accountability, political messaging, and who the government is willing to protect. Host Emiliana Guereca breaks down what she’s calling the “January 6th Insurrection Fund” and what it means when political violence starts getting reframed as political victimhood. From the rewriting of January 6th to the power of language in shaping public memory, this episode explores what’s really at stake when elected leaders attempt to redefine one of the most consequential moments in modern American democracy. Because at some point, the question becomes: if history can be rewritten, what happens to accountability? 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes drop every week.

What Does A City Councilwoman REALLY Do? w/ Eunisses Hernandez

As Los Angeles faces rising housing costs, growing concerns around public safety, and increasing frustration with political systems that feel disconnected from everyday people, #TheRallyRoom asks a critical question: what does local government actually do? This week, Emiliana sits down with Eunisses Hernandez for a conversation about the real impact of city politics — from rent stabilization, housing affordability, public safety, voting rights, and the fight to keep communities from being displaced. At a time when many people feel powerless, Eunisses makes the case that local politics may be the place where change is still most possible. Together, Emiliana and Eunisses explore the realities of serving in City Hall, the influence of money in local elections, why representation matters, and how community organizing can shape the future of the city. The message is clear: politics doesn’t just happen in Washington — it starts on your block, in your neighborhood, and in the decisions that shape daily life for working families across Los Angeles. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

Bought & Paid For? The Rise of the Bored Billionaire Candidates

This week in The Rally Room, we’re asking the question that this moment demands: why are billionaires suddenly running for office? Because across the country, we’re watching wealthy candidates flood elections with their own money—jumping into races for mayor, governor, and Congress—and trying to buy their way into power. And this isn’t random—it’s a pattern—one where influence isn’t enough anymore, and control is the real goal. Host Emiliana Guereca breaks down what’s really happening beneath the surface, from self-funded campaigns drowning out qualified candidates to a system that’s becoming harder for everyday people to compete in. Because at this point, it’s not just politics—it’s power. And when elections start to feel like auctions, the real question becomes: are we choosing our leaders—or are they buying their way in? 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

Because from sexual misconduct allegations against powerful political figures to the ongoing questions surrounding the Epstein files, this moment isn’t random—it’s a pattern—one that keeps repeating, protected by silence, power, and the systems that allow it to continue. Host Emiliana Guereca breaks down what’s really happening beneath the headlines, from the normalization of abuse to the culture that protects it. Because at this point, it’s not confusion—it’s accountability. And if “everyone knew,” then the real question becomes: why didn’t anyone say anything? 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
