On the premiere episode of The Defiant Podcast, Majid spotlights the ongoing GOP meltdown precipitated by the Arizona abortion ruling.

 Kathy Griffin, has gone through hell and back at the hands of Donald Trump and lived to tell her tale.  I love this woman; she has treated me with respect and empathy from day one. She knows what it’s like to face the firing squad and the full might of the MAGA Machine as it tries to destroy you. In 2017, Griffin was publicly ostracized for a photo shoot in which she held a fake bloodied and severed head replica of Trump. She lost jobs and tearfully apologized at a press conference a few days after the photo appeared on soci...

My next guest is a part of a special sisterhood of victims having been allegedly assaulted by Donald Trump. Alva Johnson, a former campaign staffer says Trump assaulted her in 2016 when she was working as a campaign staffer for the former president. In interviews and in the lawsuit, Johnson said Trump grabbed her hand and leaned in to kiss her on the lips as he exited an RV outside a rally in Tampa, Florida on Aug. 24, 2016.

Between 2008 and 2012, Tina Nguyen was a politics-obsessed college student and right-wing activist at Claremont McKenna College. Swept up by conservative rhetoric and promises of paid internships and scholarships, Nguyen was privy to the early days of the movement now known as MAGA.

Based on years of dogged reporting and interviews with countless people—from downing ma...

Stormy discusses the hypocrisy of the American Justice system and how she can be the star witness for the prosecution of Donald J. Trump in NY DA Alvin Bragg’s “Hush Money Case,” but her own lawsuit against the former president can be thrown out of court. “They made a moral judgment,” she says. “Because I’m a porn star I don’t deserve the same protection under the law.” But Stormy refuses to give up. “I’m a pain in the ass,” she says. Later, Stormy welcomes Kris Goldsmith to the show. The founder of Task Force Butler, Goldsmith is an Iraq veteran who h...

My next guest spent 11 months undercover with these people. When Amanda Moore lost her job, she decided to go undercover in MAGA land, attending QAnon events and CPAC, hanging with Neo-Nazis and “blood-and-soil fascists,” and palling around with Proud Boys at Harry's Bar in the lead-up to the January 6 Capitol Riot. But what her new friends didn’t know was that she was often recording them, and the result is a chilling portrait “of what the right looks like from the inside.

Here’s what Amanda said about her journey in the article she wrote for the Nation.
