The Blindspot

The Pope and The Dope

Today on The Blind Spot, Jason Polaski tackles the absurdity of the President picking a Truth Social fight with the Pope over the war in Iran. Polaski argues that attacking a figure of ornamental soft power is a massive, unforced error—and to prove it, he spends the rest of the episode doing exactly what he just told the President not to do: absolutely roasting the Pope. Tune in for a realist’s look at historical hypocrisy, the futility of moral scolding, and why this entire feud is a ridiculous distraction from a very dumb war. Enjoy!

The Dumbest war we Have Ever Fought

Today on The Blindspot, shortly after the collapse of ceasefire talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, I discuss the current state of our war with Iran. Enjoy.

No Apebacks!

On Thin Ice

Today on The Blindspot, I discuss the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents, the administration’s response to his death, my thoughts on immigration and protest, this current administration, ICE itself, and more.

Iran, Greenland, Minnesota, and Donald Trump

Today on The Blindspot, I talk about the Iranian regime’s killing of its own people in response to protests, and Trump’s on-again, off-again posture on how the U.S. should respond. From there, I shift to his push to acquire Greenland from Denmark, a move he argues has strategic value but one most Americans, (and certainly this one,)  don’t seem to want made. I close with protests in the United States, with Minnesota as the lens, over the harsh conduct of ICE agents on the ground. Enjoy!

amateur Hour at the Whitehouse

Today on The Blindspot, we’re breaking down the murder of Renay Good by an ICE agent and the Trump administration’s immediate response. Then, we shift gears to the crisis in Venezuela—is the U.S. actually running the show? And finally, we tackle the surreal headlines regarding President Trump’s frequent requests to buy Greenland and his threats to simply take it. It’s a packed episode. enjoy!

Extraordinary Rendition

“Earlier this week, the United States government captured Nicolás Maduro, the former president of Venezuela. It is an extraordinary and highly unusual development.Today on The Blindspot, I’m talking about it! Enjoy.”

Money and Guns

“Today on The Blindspot, a Trump administration national security memo kicks off a long discussion about European and U.S. strategic failure in the Ukraine war.”

What do Trump, Epstein, and Marjorie Taylor Greene have in common?

In this episode of The Blind Spot, host Jason Polaski tears through political hypocrisy like a buzzsaw—dragging Trump's evasions on the Epstein files into the spotlight, torching performative outrage from both parties, and dissecting Greene's sudden pivot from MAGA loyalist to apostate. It’s raw, profane, and brutally lucid—an hourlong firewalk through scandal, strategy, and the lies we tell ourselves to stay on the team. If you want safe takes, go elsewhere. If you want the real talk, press play.
