Dangerous Laughter with A.J. Rice is political satire with a spine. Hosted by bestselling author, political humorist, satirist, and PUBLIUS PR Founder A.J. Rice, this show laughs where the 'cancel culture' police told you not to. From media hypocrisy and censorship to woke absurdity, cultural insanity, and power-drunk elites, every episode punches up at the people trying to control what America can say, think, and laugh at. It’s sharp, fearless, funny, and built on one code: comedy must tell the truth. Dangerous Laughter isn’t just comedy — it’s humor with a code.A.J. RICE Politica e governo

    Sex, Democracy & the Collapse of the American Family | Conn Carroll & A.J. Rice
    Oct 9 2026
    IS THE COLLAPSE OF MARRIAGE DESTROYING AMERICAN DEMOCRACY? What if America's biggest political crisis isn't happening in Washington—but inside the American home? On this episode of Dangerous Laughter with A.J. Rice, Washington Examiner Commentary Editor Conn Carroll joins America's publicist A.J. Rice to expose the troubling relationship between the decline of marriage, the breakdown of the nuclear family, and the future of Western civilization. Drawing from his provocative book, Sex and the Citizen: How the Assault on Marriage Is Destroying Democracy, Carroll argues that the destruction of traditional marriage isn't merely a cultural shift. It could threaten the social foundations that helped make American democracy possible. From the sexual revolution to the masculinity crisis, modern dating, celebrity worship, and Hollywood's warped portrayal of relationships, A.J. Rice and Conn Carroll take on the cultural contradictions reshaping America. In this provocative, politically incorrect conversation, discover: The Marriage Crisis: Why declining marriage rates and family instability may have consequences for democracy, economic prosperity, and social mobility. Sex and the Sexual Revolution: How changing cultural norms, government policies, and modern individualism reshaped American family life. The Masculinity Crisis: What Andrew Tate, changing gender expectations, and the growing divide between men and women reveal about modern relationships. Hollywood vs. Reality: How Sex and the City, The Godfather, Star Wars, and popular entertainment influence our expectations of love, commitment, and family. Taylor Swift and Celebrity Culture: Are parasocial relationships and digital entertainment replacing meaningful personal connections? The Future of Western Civilization: Can America rebuild strong families, restore community institutions, and preserve the foundations of a free society? Is marriage simply a personal choice—or one of the most important institutions protecting American freedom? Conn Carroll challenges conventional wisdom about sex, family, marriage, and democracy, while A.J. Rice delivers his signature political satire, cultural commentary, and perfectly timed derision. This episode explores the intersection of American politics, traditional family values, the sexual revolution, Western civilization, declining birth rates, cultural transformation, and the future of the United States.

  • MIND VIRUSES: How Fear, Propaganda & Groupthink Hijack Society | John Leake & A.J. Rice

    MIND VIRUSES: How Fear, Propaganda & Groupthink Hijack Society | John Leake & A.J. Rice
    Oct 2 2026
    Mind Viruses, Mass Psychology & the Battle for Your Attention | John Leake What happens when an idea spreads through a society faster than people can stop and question it? New York Times bestselling author John Leake joins A.J. Rice on Dangerous Laughter for an in-depth conversation about his book, Mind Viruses: America’s Irrational Obsessions, and the psychology behind mass fear, groupthink, propaganda, social contagion, conformity, and institutional authority. Leake draws on thinkers including Carl Jung, René Girard, H.L. Mencken, Thomas Sowell, and Roger Scruton to examine the ways individuals and groups respond to fear, social pressure, tribal identity, and powerful institutions. Central to the conversation is Jung’s concept of a “psychic epidemic,” which Leake uses as a framework for understanding moments when large groups become intensely focused on particular fears, beliefs, or social narratives. Topics include: • John Leake• Mind Viruses• Carl Jung• Psychic epidemics• Mass psychology• Groupthink• Social conformity• Tribal behavior• Fear and scapegoating• Propaganda• Institutional authority• The “expert class”• Media influence• Social pressure• COVID-19 controversies• Debate over transgender medicine for minors• X• TikTok• Reddit• Social-media algorithms• Attention economy• René Girard• H.L. Mencken• Thomas Sowell• Roger Scruton• Free speech• Political satire• Humor and ridicule A.J. and John examine why intelligent people can sometimes adopt beliefs primarily because those beliefs are reinforced by institutions, peers, media, or social incentives. They also discuss how modern social platforms accelerate the spread of ideas by rewarding emotionally powerful content. Fear travels quickly. Outrage travels quickly. Certainty travels quickly. Nuance usually has to take the stairs. THE BIGGER QUESTION What happens when attention itself becomes the battlefield? If governments, corporations, media organizations, activists, universities, and technology platforms are all competing for attention, understanding how fear and social reinforcement work may be increasingly important. And because this is Dangerous Laughter, the conversation eventually arrives at a very different weapon: Ridicule. Humor can weaken the aura of inevitability surrounding an idea, institution, or political slogan by making people willing to look at it differently. So can comedy interrupt a psychological contagion before conformity takes over? Subscribe to Dangerous Laughter with A.J. Rice for conversations about psychology, politics, culture, media, free speech, history, comedy, and the ideas reshaping American life.

  • EMERALD ROBINSON UNFILTERED: Election Trust, AI, Censorship & the GOP’s 2028 Debate | AJ RICE

    EMERALD ROBINSON UNFILTERED: Election Trust, AI, Censorship & the GOP’s 2028 Debate | AJ RICE
    Sep 29 2026

    Emerald Robinson, host of The Absolute Truth and publisher of The Right Way, joins A.J. Rice on Dangerous Laughter for an in-depth conversation about election technology, artificial intelligence, censorship, the Supreme Court, independent media and the future direction of Republican politics.

    Robinson discusses the continuing debate over public confidence in American elections, including voting machines, mail-in ballots and election technology.

    The conversation then turns to artificial intelligence and the massive data centers being built to support it.

    Could energy use, data-center construction, regulation and competition with China turn AI into a political issue that cuts across traditional party lines?

    Topics include:

    • Election trust
    • Voting technology
    • Voting machines
    • Mail-in ballots
    • Artificial intelligence
    • AI data centers
    • Energy and computing infrastructure
    • AI regulation
    • China and technology competition
    • Big Tech
    • Censorship
    • Emerald Robinson’s White House reporting
    • Her 2021 Twitter suspension
    • DARPA
    • COVID-era media controversies
    • The Supreme Court
    • The Federalist Society
    • Republican-appointed justices
    • J.D. Vance
    • Marco Rubio
    • Republican presidential politics
    • Populism
    • Foreign policy
    • Conservative media
    • Never Trump conservatism
    • Rumble
    • Substack
    • Podcasts
    • Independent journalism
    • Political influencers

    Robinson also revisits her earlier writing criticizing the Never Trump wing of conservative media and discusses how Donald Trump’s rise coincided with a much larger disruption of traditional political-media gatekeepers.

    Podcasts, Substack, Rumble and independent creators now allow political figures and commentators to reach audiences without relying on cable television or legacy publications.

    But that creates another question:

    THE BIGGER QUESTION

    What happens when the alternative media becomes powerful enough to create gatekeepers of its own?

    A.J. and Robinson discuss paid influencers, authenticity, ideological disagreement and whether political movements can remain intellectually healthy when dissent inside the movement is treated as betrayal.

    They also discuss possible future Republican leadership, including J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio, without assuming that any candidate or faction will control the party’s next presidential contest.
