Co-host Brian Derrick has earned a reputation for his ability to break down political news and define the stakes to his sizable and dedicated social media audience. Co-host Glennis Meagher is a digital media savant who has built platforms to encourage millennials and gen z to engage with politics, some for the first time. 


Even when the news of the week could easily kill the vibe, Brian and Glennis are like those needed friends that have the unique ability to keep it real AND pull us out of a doom spiral.

]]> Buzzsprout (https://www.buzzsprout.com) News, Politics, Elections, Extremism, Democracy, Freedom, Vibes, Media, Journalism, Information, Vibes Only https://storage.buzzsprout.com/6qidff19s5gi5oowoeyqar9g5vab?.jpg Vibes Only https://couriernewsroom.com/ Brian Derrick Glennis Meagher Season 3 Premiere: $72B in Iran, the End of the VRA, and the 2026 Map Season 3 Premiere: $72B in Iran, the End of the VRA, and the 2026 Map We were gone for ten weeks and Trump started a war, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, the government had its longest shutdown in history, two cabinet secretaries got pushed out over Epstein, and Republicans quietly added $70 billion more for ICE to a reconciliation bill nobody could stop. Season 3 of Vibes Only is here and Brian Derrick (Political Strategist and Founder of @oath.vote) and Glennis Meagher (Political and New Media Strategist and Co-founder of @generatorcollective) have a lot to catch you up on.

In the Season 3 premiere, Brian and Glennis break down Trump's war with Iran, the $72 billion the U.S. has burned in 60 days, the 3,400 civilians killed, the 14 American troops dead, and why this is the first Middle East war in our lifetime that's actually a voting issue (it has a lot to do with the price of gas). Then they get into how Democrats got played on the ICE reconciliation bill — Schumer specifically — and the $1 million Oath has now raised for the ICE Accountability Fund to prosecute officers and back the people fighting on the ground.

The bigger conversation is Louisiana v. Callais. Brian walks through what the 6-3 ruling actually does to Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which Southern states are about to gerrymander Black voters out of Congress, and why Oath has always built its plan around flipping 12 House seats, not 3. Plus the Democratic counter-strike taking shape across ten states, why Brian is more fired up than worried, and the early primary signals out of Ohio and Indiana (Sherrod Brown is back, Janet Mills dropped out, and Trump just spent $15 million in Indiana on pure revenge).

Also: Glennis brings receipts on Anna Nicole Smith, Brian compares the Trump assassination plot to a concept of a plan, and they make an official on-air challenge to Keith Edwards to come debate gerrymandering. The midterms are six months out. Buckle up.

New episodes of Vibes Only drop every week. If you like the show, the single biggest thing you can do is leave a rating and a review… it's free, it takes ten seconds, and it's how we get in front of more people who need a politics podcast that isn't going to make them want to move to the woods.

Vibes Only is a weekly political podcast hosted by Brian Derrick (Political Strategist and Founder of @oath.vote) and Glennis Meagher (Political and New Media Strategist and Co-founder of @generatorcollective), two post-Obama political operatives turned creators breaking down the stories of each week in politics, elections, and culture. We aim to be your break from the doom-scrolling and consultant-speak. Just the vibes (and the receipts) with new episodes every Thursday morning.

The vibes this week: 

  • Of course - there was another failed assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump.
  • Also on Sunday, Trump seemed to have an out-of-nowhere delayed reaction to Taylor Swift's endorsement of Harris, taking to Truth Social to type “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” 
  • Early polls indicate a post-debate bump for Harris, and her campaign reported a $47 million fundraising haul int he 24 hours after the debate (her biggest day since she launched her campaign in July). 
  • And the House GOP is once again playing games with the budget, suggesting they'll attach the "SAVE Act" to the budget that they say is designed to keep "non-citizens" from voting (not an actual problem with our elections), threatening a potential government shutdown in less than two weeks if they can't pass a CR. 

In it's giving, we discuss JD's shocking admission that he "creates stories" of convenience to make a media narrative (Haitian migrants in Springfield, OH are NOT "eating the dogs"). 

In the group chat we talk about Nicky Jam, Laura Loomer, door knocking, and more.

Deja is an activist, political strategist, and founder of GenZ Girl Gang. At age 19, she became the youngest staffer and first Influencer and Surrogate Strategist on U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' 2020 presidential campaign. Last week at the DNC, she became the very first content creator to speak at the convention. 

The vibes this week: 

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suspended his fire sale of a campaign and endorsed the highest bidder - Donald Trump. 
  • The Harris campaign and Trump campaign have sparred over muted or unmuted mics and Trump is whining about the host network, ABC. 
  • On Meet the Press, JD Vance said Trump has been "clear" that he would note impose a national abortion ban (false) and that he would even veto legislation (highly unlikely) which is still being pushed by Senate Republicans like Lindsey Graham and gang. 

All that before playing an it's giving, pulling up our group chat, and leaving you with a good vibe.

Last week, the Supreme Court unanimously protected the abortion pill, mifepristone (for now), but didn’t close the door to hear new cases involving plaintiffs “with standing.” They also protected bump stocks, a tool that effectively turns a semi-automatic rifle into a machine gun. Now Senate Republicans are playing games and blocking Senate Democrats’ attempts to write the TRUMP ban into law. We get into the games the NRA and Republicans have played since that ban was put into effect in 2017. 

Continuing with SCOTUS, Brian and Glennis catch up on the drama with the Alitos and their extremist, vindictive ideologies laid bare in a secret audio recording. 

Then, they talk about the latest example of Sinclair Broadcasting Group pushing scripts with a national political agenda onto local news outlets across the country. 

Finally, they discuss Democrats’ strategy leading into the ‘24 election - how the Biden campaign is messaging on his own record, plans, and the contrast with his opponent (a convicted felon).

Joe Biden signed a foreign aid bill into which also included a forced sale of TikTok. 

Donald Trump faced a litany of legal battles including the 2016 Election Interference (hush money) trial which is underway,  a hearing on whether he is in contempt of the court for violating his gag order, and he (and his cronies - Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani) were named un-indicted conspirators in TWO State's false elector's plots (MI and AZ).  In addition to ALL OF THAT, SCOTUS heard his "immunity" claim.

Speaking of SCOTUS, they also heard a case to decide whether women could receive (and doctors could give) an abortion in case of EMERGENCY in state's with bans.

Finally, we discuss two prominent, legacy GOP politicians who took the same information about Donald Trump and his attempts to steal the 2020 election, and even arrived at the same conclusions, but made two very different choices for how to handle the upcoming 2024 presidential election.  That's Bill Barr and Liz Cheney.

  • Mitch McConnell announced last week that he’s stepping down from the top position for Senate Republicans
  • And Kyrsten Sinema officially closed the door for her re-election campaign

In “It’s Giving” we react to Marianne Williamson un-suspending her presidential campaign.

Also:

Finally, some unexpected guests leave you with a good vibe.

**UPDATE** -- Nikki Haley did NOT win the meaningless  (delegates would not have been given to any winner) Nevada primary which Trump did not appear on the ballot. She lost, instead, to "none of these candidates."

Also: 

  • Nikki Haley is going into attack mode. Is it too little too late? How will her Trump digs age if she eventually bends the knee?
  • Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, also known as Travis Kelce (hehe), is heading to the Super Bowl. The New York Times published a story that said Biden’s campaign is seeking a Swift endorsement (duh), and conservatives are losing their minds and coming up with some…interesting conspiracy theories. 
  • Ben Shapiro is topping the RAP charts. 
  • A Nikki Haley donor wrote and published the cringiest song (ever?)
  • A good vibe: Biden told the DOE to pause approvals for new liquified natural gas.

Donald Trump won the GOP primary, while Joe Biden, who wasn’t even on the ballot (we explain why) overwhelmingly won with an organized write-in campaign.  Nikki Haley performed better than expected and vows to stay in the race. 

We break down the results, hot off the presses and also discuss: 

  • Ron DeSantis’ early exit from the race earlier this week, and his epic failure of a campaign. 
  • Some consequential cases heard before the Supreme Court this week that could upend the Chevron deference. 
  • Jesse Watters and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s post-election confusion/delusions. 
  • Positive signals and vibes on the economy.

Trump did indeed dominate, as expected. Networks called the race about 30 minutes into the process - before most votes were cast. 

We’ll break down the Iowa caucus results, and what the numbers suggest (if anything) about the general election. 

We’ll also discuss: 

  • The stopgap bill, agreed to by Congressional leaders including Senator Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Mike Johnson, to potentially keep the government open. 
  • The House Freedom Caucus response to said bill. 
  • The Emmys: RuPaul, Neicy Nash. 
  • The bipartisan bill that would expand the child tax credit, and more. 

Show notes:
New York Times: Congressional Leaders Unveil Stopgap Bill to Head Off Shutdown

NBC News: Congress announces major tax deal to expand child tax credit and revive breaks for businesses

Corrections:
- We mentioned 14 appropriations bills. *There are 12. *

- We referred to Marjorie Taylor Greene as a member of the House Freedom Caucus. *She was voted out of the caucus.*

  • A Trump lawyer made a stunning assertion that presidential immunity would cover the chief executive in the hypothetical case of having a political opponent assassinated.
  • SCOTUS has agreed to weigh in on Trump’s eligibility for the ballot in Colorado - after the state’s Supreme Court deemed him ineligible for violating section 3 of the 14th Amendment which bars those who had taken an oath “to support the Constitution of the United States” from holding office if they then “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
  • The Iowa caucus is less than a week away and GOP voters appear poised to overwhelmingly choose that candidate ^
  • Fox News had an interesting guest on to predict "what's in store for 2024."
  • In her latest "public performance," Lauren Boebert allegedly punched her ex-husband in the face multiple times at a restaurant. 
  • Mayra Flores, a Republican seeking to win back her old seat in the Rio Grande Valley, has been accused of routinely stealing photos of Mexican cooking to pass off as her own.
  • Golden Globes, Taylor Swift, Jo Koy, and more all popping off in the group chats.
  • And finally, activists and organizers in Florida secured enough signatures to put a referendum on next year's ballot to secure abortion rights.

VIBES ONLY. First episode drops on January 10, 2024!

ABOUT:
The polls are broken. The stakes are unprecedented. And the future of democracy, like it or not,  hinges on one thing – VIBES. Vibes Only is here to check the vibes of American politics and break down the need-to-know news of the week. And while one of the two major parties in the country has overwhelmingly embraced a right-wing movement whose whole vibe is undermining democracy and social progress, it’s clear we need voices that can meet voters where they are and clearly and effectively call that BS out for what it is. 

Co-host Brian Derrick has earned a reputation for his ability to break down political news and define the stakes to his sizable and dedicated social media audience. Co-host Glennis Meagher is a digital media savant who has built platforms to encourage millennials and gen z to engage with politics, some for the first time. Even when the news of the week could easily kill the vibe, Brian and Glennis are like those needed friends that have the unique ability to keep it real AND pull us out of a doom spiral. 

New episodes of Vibes Only  will be available on Wednesdays wherever you get your podcasts.
