Can we just say? We’re in our flow state. This episode has it all: deep dive analysis on the Minnesota fraud case, followed by a Wheel of Doom that includes the Clintons’ contempt of Congress, Trump’s Jerome Powell probe, NC slaying on AI policy, Justice Department leaders resigning, Greenland, Iran, shade on NC Gov Josh Stein, Kristi Noem’s possible impeachment, and dogwhistles galore!

And because it always bears repeating… RIPPP (Rest in Peaceful Puppy Power) Cricket!

We also cover Steven Miller in high school and reiterate that, when people show you who they are… believe them. Y’all, shit is really bad right now, but we do get a few laughs in on StingRays, stingrays, new nicknames for Kristi Noem, and 2020 Democratic primary core ( Liz Warren fucking destroying everyone she debates).
