Hey folks,

Don and I started this one laughing—almost got canceled before the first minute was over. Pure chaos. But between the jokes and the caffeine, we got real about Trump’s nonstop lies, the shutdown gut-punch, and what it feels like to live in an economy breaking people in real time with a President who is MIA. Then mid-show, breaking news hit—and everything shifted a bit.

Here’s where to jump in 👇

• [00:00:45] Wild cold open: near-cancellation jokes, creator chaos, and the truth about what it takes to keep indie media alive.

• [00:03:10] Trump on Air Force One claiming victory over inflation and prices—we call bullshit and break down why you can’t gaslight people’s wallets.

• [00:05:02] Shutdown gut check: food assistance on the line, healthcare costs spiking, and Republicans literally not showing up to work.

• [00:12:08] Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “populist” turn—why she suddenly sounds like Bernie Sanders and what that says about MAGA fracturing from the inside.

• [00:17:08] Breaking news double hit: IL-09 Democratic candidate charged after an ICE protest, and DOJ prosecutors suspended for calling Jan. 6 a “riot.”
