The Tim Corrimal Show
Episode 823 – February 16, 2026

On episode 823 of The Tim Corrimal Show, I am joined at the round table with Joe (Joseph Santorsa on Facebook and @marnus3.bsky.social on BlueSky), JC (@detroidbluedog on TikTok and @jcthehippie on Substack) who is the host of “The Hippie Channel” on YouTube, and Justice Putnam (@justiceputnam.sky.social on BlueSky and @justiceputnam@sfba.social on Mastodon) from NetrootsRadio.com and http://www.dailykos.com/user/justiceputnam.

On the show this week we discuss the Bad Bunny half time show, the right wing freak out about it, the meaning of his song ‘DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’, and his statement about why he performed the show in Spanish without English subtitles. Next we discuss the Green Day performer calling out ICE ahead of the Super Bowl, some election officials saying they no longer trust their federal partners, and DOJ’s move to ask the Supreme Court to void Steve Bannon’s contempt of Congress conviction. Then we discuss Trump’s threats to bar a new US-Canada bridge from opening, the US DOJ lawyer hit with a bar complaint over the search of a Washington Post reporter’s home, and the revelations we learned this week from the latest batch of Epstein files. Next we discuss the world wide reactions to the individuals who had communications with Jeffrey Epstein and the investigations being opened in other counties, Pam Bondi’s outrageous behavior at the House Judiciary Committee, and the ICE Director being told at a different hearing that if he want’s to stop being called a fascist, then stop being fascist. Lastly we discuss the DHS document that uncovered that only 14% of people being detained by ICE have a criminal history and that China has reportedly told banks to scale back holdings of US government debt.
