    About the Shutdown's End and the Climate Change Movement

    The gang reacts to the end of the longest federal shutdown in American history, as Senate Democrats face backlash for a deal that included funding extensions and back pay, but not their key health care priorities. Did they cave, or is this just how governance works now? Then, they turn to the state of the climate change movement, with Bill Gates calling for a strategic pivot just as GM abandons some of its electric truck plans. Is the momentum fading, or is this sort of pivot needed? Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:05:13 - Shutdown 00:42:06 - Climate Change Movement 01:05:08 - Emails 01:27:37 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast.

    About Mamdani's NYC and Dick Cheney

    The gang reacts to a seismic political shift in New York City as Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor, defeating Andrew Cuomo and promising sweeping changes across housing, transit, and childcare. His Democratic Socialist platform has progressives cheering—and business leaders warning — how big of a deal is this? Then, the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney sparks a conversation about his towering influence over American foreign policy, the post-9/11 era, and the modern Republican Party. Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro and Shutdown Talk 00:24:08 - Mamdani's NYC 00:54:40 - Dick Cheney 01:10:35 - Emails 01:12:52 - More Mamdani Talk 01:18:27 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast.

    About Argentina and George Santos

    In this 2023-throwback episode, the gang talks through Javier Milei's victory in Argentina. His La Libertad Avanza party secured more than 40 percent of the national vote following two years of austerity politics. Is this a sign that things are turning around in the South American country? Then our attention turns to George Santos, who recently had his seven-year sentence commuted, alongside all other fines and penalties. While the conviction remains on Santos' record, is this a miscarriage of justice? Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:04:14 - Shutdown Update 00:23:37 - Argentina 00:47:15 - George Santos 01:08:04 - Emails 01:33:01 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    About Graham Platner and Amazon's Robots

    The gang breaks down the controversy surrounding Graham Platner, a former Marine-turned-Democratic Senate candidate from Maine who admitted to receiving a chest tattoo in 2007 that appears to replicate Nazi symbolism. Justin, Jen, and Heaton discuss whether Platner actually is a Nazi, alongside the fate of his current campaign. Then, the crew breaks down Amazon's planned roadmap to replace more than half a million US workers with robots by 2033, all to shave off about 30 cents per item shipped. Is this a step towards improving working conditions at Amazon, or the end of an economic lifeline? Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:10:46 - Graham Platner 00:48:50 - Amazon's Robots 01:02:35 - Emails 01:30:18 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    About the Gaza Peace Plan and Jay Jones

    The gang discusses the aftermath of the Gaza ceasefire and peace framework rolled out earlier this week with backing from the Trump administration. While plenty of obstacles remain, it could reshape the Middle East as we know it for years to come, should the entire agreement hold together. After, the trio talks through Jay Jones, the Virginia Democratic nominee for Attorney General who sent violent text messages several years ago. Should he drop out, and if not, should Virginia Dems call on him to do so? Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:13:52 - Gaza Peace Plan 00:51:41 - Jay Jones 01:10:33 - Emails 01:49:02 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    About Chicago and Bari Weiss

    The gang talks through the recent deployment of the Texas National Guard in Illinois this week, despite Illinois officials like Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson condemning the move as “illegal, unconstitutional, and dangerous." Should the Texas National Guard be in Illinois at all, or is this another example of federal overreach? Then the attention turns to Bari Weiss, the new CEO of CBS News following the acquisition of The Free Press. Is this a sign of positive changes coming to old-school media machines like CBS, or is it something else altogether? Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:20:50 - Chicago 00:41:57 - Bari Weiss 01:03:49 - Emails 01:37:16 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    About American Working Men and Bullet Messages

    The gang examines a steep decline in male labor force participation, especially among men without college degrees, and debates why this collapse in work ethic and opportunity isn’t a bigger national concern. Then, they look at the unsettling trend of mass shooters leaving behind so-called "bullet messages" and what it says about attention-seeking violence in the digital age. Chapters: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:08:19 - American Working Men 00:44:26 - Bullet Messages 01:07:45 - Emails 01:53:28 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    About Jimmy Kimmel and the Government Shutdown

    The gang opens with the fallout from Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension following a controversial comment about the Charlie Kirk assassination. The network’s swift action, affiliate pre-emptions, and eventual reinstatement fuel questions about free speech, network obligations, and government censorship. Then, attention shifts to the looming government shutdown, as President Trump cancels a meeting with Schumer and Jeffries. It's a move Democrats call a tantrum, while Republicans push a Continuing Resolution unlikely to pass without major concessions. Chapters: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:16:19 - Jimmy Kimmel 01:07:33 - Shutdown 01:33:20 - Emails 02:13:25 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
