Is MAGA a political party? After 11 years, it seems to be gaining strong support based on recent polls, and the president even removed Tucker from the MAGA movement, so maybe it is becoming one. I also love the vagueness of this administration and I'm attempting to make that case.

I’m not sure what went down over the weekend, but we’ve got people wasting taxpayer money running for office, Rick Wilson saying he wants Trump to burn in hell, folks in California losing their fortunes from more wage hikes, and it all feels like it’s reaching its wits’ end.

Kristie Noem has been removed as DHS secretary and replaced by Markwayne Mullins. Rep. Tony Gonzales has ended his reelection bid following GOP pressure over a scandal. DHS funding has been revised and passed in the House, with four new Democrats crossing party lines. After pestering Ben Shapiro for nearly three years, Dave Smith finally got a response—one he’s not happy with.

This episode focuses on fixing a mistake from yesterday and discussing right-wing podcasters who suddenly act like they don’t need you or spend time mocking and insulting you. I also cover a bad decision by a small college, the FBI catching a group of gang members in an ATM robbery, and news that smartphones are about to get cheaper.

This Wednesday, we talk about what seems to be a coordinated effort to take her down or cancel her, but I think it’s backfired. Instead, it’s only added more fuel to the fire and given her exactly what she wants—exposure.

Today I’m talking about the bombing involving Iran; Byron Donalds cruising toward the governorship in Florida; Jack Dorsey laying off 4,000 workers due to AI; California investigating the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger; California possibly having to choose between two Republicans; and Speaker Johnson refusing to oust Rep. Tony Gonzales.

I talk about the most iconic moment I’ve ever seen at the State of the Union, one that could easily be an instant campaign ad. Then, I dive into the latest scam sweeping the nation—the “buy now, pay later” trend that’s taking advantage of people across America. What is it, and why are so many falling for it? I do my best to break it all down.
