If you thought Senate hearings were boring, think again. This week, we dive into the absolute spectacle that was the confirmation hearings for RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel. From senators who clearly have never used PowerPoint to Bernie Sanders waving around blown-up onesies, it was a masterclass in political theater. We break down the Democratic panic over Trump’s cabinet picks, the absurd obsession with a January 6th choir, and Tulsi’s refusal to become anyone’s puppet. Also, Kash Patel teaches senators how the FBI actually works, and we witness the ongoing war on common sense. Buckle up, friends—this one’s a ride.

Episode Highlights

• RFK Jr. vs. The Onesie Scandal – Bernie Sanders brought a giant poster of baby clothes to accuse RFK Jr. of being anti-vax. Spoiler: It backfired.
• Tulsi Gabbard’s Mic-Drop Moment – She shut down attacks by reminding everyone that the real problem isn’t her, it’s politicians terrified of someone who won’t be their puppet.
• Kash Patel Teaches FBI 101 – Senators tried (and failed) to corner him, only for him to school them on how the agency actually works.
• The January 6th Choir Obsession – Democrats spent way too much time questioning Kash Patel about a prison choir fundraiser no one outside of D.C. had even heard of.
• Senators Still Can’t Handle PowerPoint – Instead of slides, they printed out tweets, quotes, and yes, onesies…because technology is just too hard.
