Editorial cartoonists Ted Rall (from the political Left) and Scott Stantis (from the political Right) discuss the week's biggest stories without the boring yell fests but with force and passion.

First up this week: The Supreme Court hears oral arguments in the groundbreaking attempt by Colorado voters to remove Donald Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Scott and Ted dissect the arguments pro and con and explain how they would resolve the impossible choice faced by SCOTUS: put the law first, or the country.

Second: Tucker Carlson's interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin will prove especially notable for Americans' unfiltered chance to hear firsthand about Russia's views on the war in Ukraine. Scott and Ted explain where we are now and lay out possible scenarios for the inevitable peace negotiations now that it is clear that Ukraine has decidedly lost.

Third: Alan Lichtman's 1981 13-point theory on predicting presidential elections based on historical metrics gives Scott and Ted a chance to geek out over the current 2024 campaign.

The DMZ America Podcast is recorded weekly by political cartoonists Ted Rall and Scott Stantis.
