Praise from Democracy in Danger
Reid Ribble’s honest evaluation of the shortcomings and potential of the United States Congress was refreshing. Usually “never-Trump” Republicans such as Ribble are asked about how they differ from the former President and what they plan to do to take the party back. But on this show, Ribble was given a chance to elaborate on what we all need to do to take our country back from politicians of both parties who care more about raising money for re-election than they care about the right to vote and the deficit.

Weston Wamp has Swag
Swamp Stories has a rhythm to it. Weston Wamp tackles controversial topics of corruption with a bipartisan perspective. But the coolest thing is this has such a slick and fun presentation. It’s an enjoyable listen. Justin Kempf Democracy Paradox

Non partisan discussions with facts
I’ve been looking for this type of podcast. One that goes beyond partisan rhetoric to reveal what is really going on in DC.

Insightful, Detailed & Easy Listen
I've listened to every episode. Most episodes 2 or 3 times. I was referred to this podcast by a lady who works at followthemoney.org, and I have to say it's one of the best recommendations anyone has ever given me. This podcast teaches you a lot about how the swamp works. Little loopholes and shady practices. Each episode is only 18-25 minutes, and it honestly flies by. If I could rate this podcast 50 stars, I would!

Blue or red, the government is not working for the people when it is hiding in swamp shadows
Weston Wamp shines light on the dark corners of the DC swamp. He calls out corrupt behavior of both blues and reds. If you care about self-government, you should listen regularly.

A Great Introspective Look
Weston does a great job bringing some crucial analysis to an area that fiscal and political conservatives along with any liberty-minded folk have been longing for light to be shed on, namely, that of being principled and polite in DC politics and policy. He brings in guests that provide an objective, nonpartisan approach to looking at some of the nation’s top problems that the next generation of fiscally responsible citizens can begin to correct. If you enjoy hearing about some of the unsung good going on at the Hill, as well as some of the usual and sometimes unspoken bad and ugly, in a succinct and intelligent format, then this is the podcast for you.

*takes a sip* “aaaah”
A refreshingly honest take about the inner workings of the “swamp”. Weston doesn’t hold back and, indeed, goes out of his way to shed light on things that a lot of us have been speculating about for years. I’ll be listening to every.single.episode.

Weston is a great guide to DC and what is really causing the division and dysfunction that pretty much all americans are united in hating about Congress and "the swamp" of people and groups with $$$$$ that feed off it.

Perfect
This is a great look into the reality of Washington. As 80’s and 90’s kids realize their own truths, we see that politics aren’t what we grew up believing. Corruption, money, deceit... We need to focus more on what’s best for our citizens than affiliations or walking the party line. America > politics. Weston shows us the current issues and that there are way to solve the problems, we just have to make them happen.

Incredible!!!
I come from a family that is torn between Republicans and Democrats. Occasionally during Family gatherings I attempt to shed light on how the political machine actually works. Episode 1 in Swamp Stories explains it clearly by giving a real life example from People who witnessed it first hand. I will pass this along for sure. Thanks for the enlightenment. - Cee

Excellent insight behind the curtain
Politics is a lot like making sausage, except with sausage the product is actually somewhat edible. The first podcast in this series is very insightful into how the wealthy exert power and influence over politics and will continue unless something changes. Issue One is a non-partisan group that’s trying to change it. Good luck.

Excellent analogy. Do more of these
Weston Wamp is someone to pay attention to because he was there. He can break down DC like very few folks can. In this podcast Weston lays open the realities of our Democracy to show how it's not all pretty. What I find fascinating is his message of hope, a completely divergent approach from most of his generation of leaders.

- Simon Rosenberg: The Case for BidenAs the 2024 election comes into focus, Democrats are gnashing their teeth with worry. Will President Joe Biden have the momentum to win a second term as America’s democracy is threatened? On the Republican aisle, the MAGA and GOP Classic wings of the party fight in Congress while worrying about the viability of both former President Donald Trump and the party’s would-be rescuer, Governor Ron DeSantis. It’s high anxiety time in DC. On this week’s episode, Fernando chats with political strategist Simon Rosenberg about the Democrats’ challenges in reelecting President Biden. Simon is the founder and CEO of the New Democrat Network, a centrist democratic think tank in Washington, DC. He is a frequent political analyst on Fox News, MSNBC, and ABC News. Famously, Simon predicted that the “Red Wave” of 2022 would sputter. Simon is also the author of the popular political newsletter Hoppium Chronicles.0 comments0
- Circus Politics: The Debt Ceiling ShowdownWith the resolution of the debt ceiling crisis in sight, we’re asking the key question – just what did Americans get for all the fire-breathing threats to drive the country into a catastrophic default? Fernando speaks with freshman Congressman Seth Magaziner (D-RI) to find out how this madness looks from inside the tent, through the eyes of someone who only recently joined the circus on Capitol Hill. And on our special X-Ray Vision segment, an exploration of the real person behind the title, Fernando speaks with Zamaan Qureshi. He’s the Policy Advisor at The Real Facebook Oversight Board, a global organization driving real accountability from Facebook and its fearsome power over our democracy. He’s also a member of the Council for Responsible Social Media, a project of Issue One.0 comments0
- The X-Ray with Fernando Espuelas May 25 · 21m Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse: Supreme PerilThe drip-drip of revelations surrounding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is sabotaging the legitimacy of the nation’s highest court. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in luxury gifts have gone undisclosed. It’s a troubling pattern of shady behavior at an institution that is considered a cornerstone of American democracy. U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), a longtime critic of the Supreme Court’s approach to policing itself, joins Fernando for an eye-opening conversation about the escalating ethics scandal at the Supreme Court. Senator Whitehouse is the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and a member of the Judiciary Committee. He was previously elected Rhode Island’s Attorney General after serving as a U.S. Attorney.

- Leon Panetta: Putin is Defeating HimselfTwo drones explode over the Kremlin. Giant fuel depots blow up in occupied Crimea. Mysterious detonations hit several cities deep in Russia. Are these the first attacks in Ukraine’s much anticipated spring counteroffensive? Will this campaign finally start liberating Ukraine from Vladimir Putin’s bloody invasion? And why should Americans care about yet another war in a faraway nation? Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta joins Fernando for a reality check – is Ukraine and its allies on the brink of victory or facing a long, costly war with no obvious end in sight?

- Fear and Loathing in Washington: The Debt CeilingHere we go again. Congress is facing a June 1 deadline to avoid a totally preventable “debt ceiling” crisis. If no one flinches in this dangerous game of chicken, the U.S. economy will be dragged into a cataclysm, destroying America’s global reputation and unleashing unfathomable pain for every American family. An artifact from World War I, the debt ceiling comes back every few years to provide existential drama — the battlefield of partisan politics. It all sounds a bit insane, but it’s only the latest crisis to be spawned by our increasingly dysfunctional political system. On this week’s episode, Fernando is joined by Washington uber-insider Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, to discuss her mounting fear that a “default is possible” and what we can do about it. Also, Fernando chats with Nellie Gorbea, former Rhode Island Secretary of State, for the latest installment of the X-Ray Vision interview. In this quirky conversation, Nellie shares her dream superpower, transformative leadership vision, and why Puerto Rican rum is superior to scotch.

- Andrew Yang Leaps Forward – Will He Land?Andrew Yang is at it again. Starting with his debut on the national stage in the 2020 presidential election, the entrepreneur without government experience jumped into the political arena with a fresh message and camera-ready charisma. And though he lost his quest for the presidency, he gained a national following and reputation for deep thoughts. Now, Yang is taking another big leap — creating a new political party that wants to inject more democracy and accountability into our sometimes shambolic political system. It’s a big, ambitious vision. Yet, Yang has been criticized for setting in motion a third party vote-splitting process that may — inadvertently — hand the White House back to Donald Trump in 2024. So, which is it? In an intense and surprising conversation, Fernando and Yang explore whether his latest Big Idea is a solution for political dysfunction — or a threat to American democracy.0 comments0
- Biden’s Running & Michael Steele Wants a WordThe wait is over – President Joe Biden has announced his reelection campaign. Dispelling any lingering doubts that he would step back from the arena, Biden is again on a collision course with former President Donald Trump. Is this a rematch of 2020 or are we going to see a new dynamic framed by the spiraling culture war, the other war in Ukraine, and Trump’s escalating legal problems? And what happens now to Ron DeSantis and the other GOP hopefuls that aspire to move into the White House? Former Chairman of the Republican Party and MSNBC political analyst Michael Steele (R-MD) joins Fernando for a deep dive into the emerging 2024 election, the challenges for both Biden and Trump – and explore the queasy feeling many voters have about replaying the acrimony of the 2020 presidential election.0 comments0
- It’s Donald Trump’s Party, AgainLike a party guest that won’t leave, Donald Trump is the rare losing presidential candidate that is making another run at the White House. Twice impeached and now indicted, Trump is nevertheless the favorite candidate to win the Republican nomination, according to recent polls. But what does his candidacy mean for the overall political system? And what’s the impact on a Republican Party divided between Trump loyalists and people hoping to move on? Former Rep. Reid Ribble (R-WI) joins Fernando for a conversation about the future of the Republican Party, the moral challenges of a Trump candidacy, and the emerging 2024 election. And on The X-Ray Vision, our offbeat interview seeking to discover the real person behind the political title, Fernando chats with former Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN) about who’s his hero, what his Sunday morning passion is, and why “scotch or bourbon?” is totally the wrong question.0 comments0
- The X-Ray with Fernando Espuelas Apr 13 · 32m The Rise of "Fortress MAGA"Since Donald Trump entered the presidential race in 2015, his MAGA movement has grown exponentially, attracting millions of fervent followers and directly influencing political leaders across the country. In this episode of The X-Ray, Fernando and Greg Sargent, an opinion columnist at The Washington Post who covers national politics, have a wide-ranging conversation about Trump’s movement, analyzing what Greg calls "the Fortress MAGA phenomenon." They also dig deep into recent political developments, repercussions from the Ukraine war, and the 2024 elections.0 comments0
- The “Righteous” Indictment of Donald TrumpWhen Donald Trump is arrested and formally charged this Tuesday for alleged crimes in New York, it will be a historic spectacle. As we all know, no U.S. president or former president has ever been charged with a crime. This unprecedented event puts the nation in uncharted, and some say, dangerous territory. To understand what this all really means, and what we can expect after Donald Trump’s historic day in court, Fernando speaks with Norm Eisen, one of Washington’s most respected legal experts. Now an analyst with CNN, Eisen was the Special Counsel for Ethics and Government Reform in the Obama White House. He also served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic and was later appointed special counsel to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee where he drafted the first articles of impeachment against Donald Trump. He is now a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution.0 comments0
- Facebook Whistleblower Sounds the AlarmNo one has done more to expose social media‘s threat to democracy than Frances Haugen, globally famous as the Facebook Whistleblower. Frances exposed how Facebook’s secret algorithms generated engagement by stoking hate, division, conspiracy theories and sometimes even violence. Fernando and Frances discuss the risks social media poses to our democracy, the unique power of algorithms that shape human perception, and the ongoing risk these platforms present to a successful, democratic 2024 election.0 comments0
- Is the rise of authoritarianism in America real?Is the rise of authoritarianism in America real? Is democracy at risk? Just a few years ago, this would have been ridiculous. But after the rise of Donald Trump and the January 6 insurrection, fascism is no longer an old idea from history, some experts say it is a clear and present danger. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, author of the bestseller “Strongmen: From Mussolini to the Present,” joins Fernando for a fascinating exploration of authoritarianism in the U.S. – its rising menace and what we can do about it. Fernando also chats with Former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland and political pundit Michael Steele. In the first installment of the “X-Ray Vision” interview, Steele answers an unusual battery of questions – revealing the real person behind the political title. And whether he’s a Scotch or Bourbon man.0 comments0
- Biden vs. Trump — Again?In a deep dive into the beginning stages of the 2024 election, Fernando talks with Sarah Longwell about the candidates and their prospects, and what voters are thinking. They discuss the increasingly aggressive battle between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, and the lack of voter excitement for other candidates. They also examine Democratic prospects, identifying some big challenges ahead for the president’s re-election campaign. Join us for a fun, wide-ranging conversation about the emerging contours of next year’s pivotal election.

- [Swamp Stories] 46. Farewell to WestonAs season two of "Swamp Stories" comes to a close, so does Weston's time as host of the show. After nearly 50 episodes that cover a wide range of national democracy reform topics, Weston has turned his sights back home to Tennessee. He was recently sworn in as the mayor of Hamilton County, the state's fourth largest county. For Weston's final episode, he sat down with Issue One's Chief of Strategy and Program Ethan Rome to reflect on what led him to the political reform space, what it's been like being a Republican who works on these issues, and the moment we're living through as a country. The search is currently underway for a new “Swamp Stories” host.0 comments0
- [Swamp Stories] 45. Debunking "2000 Mules"During the 2022 midterm elections, in many of the most competitive, high-profile races, Americans rejected election denialism. But it’s also still true that many people have lost trust in our elections. That is because former President Trump and his allies have spent more than two years spreading lies that the 2020 election was “stolen.” Upon its release in May 2022, a film entitled “2000 Mules” became a dangerous new catalyst for spreading lies about that election. In the latest “Swamp Stories,” Weston analyzes the film — which has been highly effective at spreading election conspiracy theories — and shows why the film is misleading, false, and holds no merit. Guests: Neal Kelley: Faces of Democracy participant; Former Registrar of Elections in Orange County, CA Amber McReynolds: Member of the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service0 comments0
- [Swamp Stories] 44. Conversations: Former Amb. Tim Roemer and Former Rep. Zach WampThis year, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has spent millions of dollars boosting election denier candidates in GOP primaries across the country in the gamble that they will be easier for Democrats to beat this November. Many have denounced this tactic as dangerous, including some Democratic Party members, former elected officials who are bucking their party and condemning the practice. On episode 44 of “Swamp Stories,” Weston chats with two co-chairs of Issue One’s ReFormers Caucus, former Amb. Tim Roemer (D-IN), who recently spoke out with an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, and former Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN) about their thoughts on the tactic.

- [Swamp Stories] 43. Conversations: Former Senate Majority Leader Trent LottIn the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, it became clear that the Electoral Count Act of 1887, the legislation that provides the framework governing the casting and counting of electoral votes, needed updating because of its arcane language and ambiguities that could be exploited by bad actors willing to overturn the will of the people In stepped a bipartisan group of senators, and, after months of negotiating, a deal was struck. Last month, the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act was introduced by Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) along with eight other Republican cosponsors and seven Democratic cosponsors, to update the antiquated Electoral Count Act of 1887. On this special episode of Swamp Stories, Weston spoke with former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS) about the bipartisan group of senators that helped drive the effort, the implications for public confidence in our system, and why the bill needs to pass this year. Want to learn even more about the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and why it needs to be updated? Listen to episode 31, “Regularly Given.”0 comments0
- [Swamp Stories] 42. A Roundtable with the Faces of DemocracyElection officials and poll workers are our friends, family, and neighbors. They are dedicated workers who manage a vital part of our democratic infrastructure. But because of a massive election disinformation campaign led by former President Trump and his allies, they have become the target of threats, intimidation, and harassment — adding to their already challenging job. “Swamp Stories” host Weston Wamp sat down with a few of the election workers — local election officials and a poll worker from both parties — participating in our Faces of Democracy campaign to discuss building trust in our election processes, protecting elections workers from threats and harassment, and much more. Issue One launched Faces of Democracy to amplify the voices of election workers. The campaign aims to educate the public about how our elections work, as well as advocate for the necessary improvements to our elections — like regular and sufficient funding from Congress for state and local election administration, and increased protections for election workers and their families from violent threats.

- The X-Ray with Fernando Espuelas Jul 1 · 16m [Swamp Stories] 41. ZuckerbucksThe 2020 election season, while carried out successfully by dedicated election officials and poll workers, exposed one glaring problem with the U.S. system of elections: it is chronically underfunded. Though Congress allocated $400 million for election assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was far short of what experts and election administrators said was needed to pull off an election in a pandemic. Private philanthropy, from folks like Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, stepped in to help fill the gap. These investments didn’t come without scrutiny. In episode 41, Weston speaks with members of the nonprofits that distributed grants to election departments around the country in both red and blue states to set the record straight about the role private philanthropy played in the 2020 election, and the need for increased federal investment in our nation’s election infrastructure. Guests: Tiana Epps-Johnson, CEO of the Center for Tech and Civic Life Sam Oliker-Friedland, Executive Director of the Institute for Responsive Government The episode also features interviews Issue One conducted with Republican election officials, including: Bill Gates, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors for Maricopa County, AZ Neal Kelley, Former Registrar of Voters for Orange County, CA Carly Koppes, Clerk and Recorder for Weld County, CO Shane Schoeller, Clerk for Greene County, MO0 comments0

Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) — who currently sits on the board of directors of Issue One and is a member of Issue One’s National Council on Election Integrity and ReFormers Caucus — about how he became involved in politics, pushing back against lies that the 2020 election was stolen, and why standing up for the rule of law, our elections, and democratic institutions matters. This is the seventh episode in our periodic series of longform conversations between host Weston Wamp and elected leaders, activists, and experts from across the political spectrum on how to fix America’s broken political system.
