Comedian and Movie Star Tom Arnold hosts the new show "Really Political" with Chip Franklin where they go behind-the-scenes with journalist Lauren Windsor to learn the inside details of her SHOCKING undercover recordings of SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito.

Lauren is the founder of The Undercurrent and Executive Director of American Family Voices. She leads our listeners inside the series of damning, bombshell audio recordings she released this week of Alito and his wife that took over a year to assemble. We’re also joined by award winning-author Max Brooks, who shares his brilliant but chilling insight on Russia’s collision course with NATO.

In light of the pro publica reporting on Clarence Thomas’s connection to the January 6th insurrection, getting close enough to record a Supreme Court Justice saying anything inappropriate seems like an impossible task.

Enter Lauren Windsor. For years she has done the courageous work of getting elected officials and other public figures to say and admit to many shocking things.

In this exclusive interview, Lauren explains exactly how she does it, and gives us the scoop on her just-released, one-on-one conversations with Justice Alito and his wife.

“Theoretically, a foundational principle of our democracy and our judicial system is the impartiality of the court,” Lauren said. “But this is verbal confirmation out of [Alito’s] mouth that some things can't be compromised.”

“She used her own name,” says Tom who is a veteran of gonzo journalism. “She's got a big body of work. It was at a public place. If you have a problem with the way she did it, it's because you didn't think of it, or you didn't have the courage to do it.”

Max Brooks is the son of legendary actor Mel Brooks, and in his own right is the author of numerous famous books, including most famously, World War Z. He’s also an actor, and was a Senior Fellow of the Modern War Institute at West Point, New York.

In this episode, Max masterfully explains how Putin’s ambitions and propaganda machine have evolved since the end of the Cold War, and breaks down how America's policy failures all but ensure that Putin will not stop if he is victorious in Ukraine.

He also breaks down for our listeners why strengthening NATO is now the only way to deter Russian aggression. “Really that’s what NATO is,” he said.” It is the greatest guarantee that we have right now that our kids won't be drafted to fight World War III.”

We also think you’ll appreciate Max’s sage guidance on how to talk about uncomfortable truths with those who have bought into the Russian propaganda, thanks to the parroting of Republicans and right wing media.

Finally, make sure to tune in to hear Tom and Chip’s personal take on what Hunter Biden’s situation can teach us about the collateral damage of addiction and the power of an unconditionally supportive family like the Biden’s. “Of all the stuff that comes out of that for me though, Tom, is his father's complete acceptance of his son for who he is and what he's trying to be,” Chip said. “It's unconditional love,” Tom replied. “That is absolutely who Joe Biden is.”
