Brace yourself for a deep dive into the whirlpool of American politics, where controversies are as plentiful as the stars! We're taking a hard look at what could be the biggest blockade to Donald Trump's potential run in the 2024 presidential race - a legal challenge out of Minnesota that could keep him off the ballot, using Section 3 of the 14th Amendment as their weapon. We also discuss the reactions from Trump's camp, other top Republicans, the Minnesota Secretary of State, and a strikingly similar lawsuit happening in Colorado. It's a political chess match that could have long-lasting implications on our democracy.

The drama doesn't stop there! Senator Tuberville has managed to put a spanner in the works by holding back on defense nominees, standing his ground despite calls from his Republican colleagues. We're talking about the impact this could have on the future of policy-making positions and the staggering 273 promotions stuck in limbo. We even delve into Tuberville's hard-line stance on abortion policy, and why it's caused an uproar among influential figures like former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer.

Finally, we pick apart the apparent fracture within the Republican party following the change in strategy for impeachment inquiries. From Kevin McCarthy's break with tradition to Matt Gaetz's threats, we analyze the potential effects on the political landscape. We also turn our attention to the alarming rise in poverty rate in the US and what the Occupy Wall Street movement is doing to demand accountability from corrosive corporate forces. This episode is sure to stimulate your political interest and leave you with plenty to ponder!
