The House passed a stopgap funding bill 370-48 on Thursday, September 3, and Rush and Reagan aren't buying the victory lap Speaker Johnson is taking. That lopsided margin looks less like consensus and more like both parties dodging a fight they knew they'd lose before the midterms.

Rush and Reagan break down what's actually in the bill and what it means for the months ahead. They trace this year's two record-breaking shutdowns and call out the identical playbook both parties ran while blaming each other. They replay the near-collapse of the rule vote, where five Republican defections almost sank the bill before two Democrats bailed out the floor. And they dig into the fine print — a blocked OMB grant-review rule, a Border Patrol transfer ban, and the spending add-ons that bought enough votes to get this thing passed.

The real fight lands December 11th, in a lame-duck session with none of the incentives that produced this week's landslide. Reagan's already daring listeners to push back on her take — drop your argument and tune in to see who's right.

On Tuesday, September 1, Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole speech puts Rush and Reagan's September rate-cut call in front of a firing squad. The hosts break down exactly what Warsh said, why his use of AI-driven productivity to justify staying tight flips the usual Fed playbook, and how markets reacted in real time as hike odds jumped from a coin flip to over 55% on CNBC and past 66% on CME FedWatch. They dig into the growing split at the top, with Bessent pushing back on a hike while Roger Ferguson calls for two more this year, and translate all of it into what it means for car loans, mortgages, and midterm politics.

Rush stands by his on-record call for a September 16 cut. Reagan isn't so sure. Both agree to grade the call live next episode, loser buys the coffee. Tell us who you think is right before the Fed decides for both of them.

Thursday, August 27, the Fed might hike into an election and Rush and Reagan are here to admit their rate-cut-saves-the-midterms call may be flat-out wrong.

They walk through how July’s softer inflation data set up their original thesis, then stack that against Kevin Warsh’s bruising confirmation fight and the summer oil spike that flipped market odds toward a September hike. From there, they unpack the tug-of-war between rate-cut hopes, hike fears, and a possible hold, all while a Hormuz scare and a gold rally rattle nerves. Along the way, they bring it back to kitchen-table math: health premiums, borrowing costs, and what the September 16 Fed decision actually means for regular families.

• How their original Fed and gas-price prediction broke as oil ripped higher.
• Why Kevin Warsh’s divided confirmation still shapes today’s rate debate.
• What gold, Hormuz chatter, and debt buybacks signal about market fear.
• How looming ACA premium jumps and Fed policy collide for middle-income households.

Stick around to see how their call looks after September 16, and send in your take on whether the Fed should blink or hold the line.

On Tuesday, August 25, a closed-door meeting between Jared Kushner and Hakeem Jeffries becomes the prism for whether the White House is secretly hedging on who will control the next House of Representatives.

The episode unpacks why this off-camera conversation matters, how it collided with progressive anger at Jeffries, and what it reveals about the gap between public confidence and private preparation in an election year. Listeners get a clear walk-through of Johnson’s on-air bravado, the polling and forecasting numbers he left out, and how recent Iran war-powers moves in the Senate fit the same hedging pattern.

• The undisclosed Kushner–Jeffries sit-down and what it signals about 2026 House expectations
• The left’s backlash against Jeffries and his attempt to reframe the meeting
• Speaker Johnson’s “hedge” comments on Fox versus the data he avoided naming
• How Iran war-powers votes mirror the quiet bets Washington is placing

Stay tuned for the next episode as Rush and Reagan dig into who else in Washington is acting like the majority is already up for grabs.

Trump's approval just hit thirty-three percent on Thursday, August 20, and Rush Lindell and Reagan tear into what's actually driving the collapse. This episode digs into the Reuters/Ipsos crosstabs showing Democrats now beating Republicans on economic trust for the first time in a decade, then follows the money down to $527 in extra household fuel costs since the war began. Rush and Reagan clash over Fed nominee Warsh's split July decision and whether a September rate hike can even touch oil-shock inflation. They also stage a brutal parody of the White House's broken gas-price promises, with an OPIS analyst predicting no relief until 2027, before landing on three dates -- September 11th CPI, the September 15-16 FOMC meeting, and daily AAA gas averages -- that could decide the midterms.

Reagan pushes back hard on Rush's inflation-crisis framing, forcing a real argument about who owns the blockade and its price consequences.

Trump's approval hit 33 percent on Wednesday, August 19, and Rush Lindell and Reagan aren't letting the White House spin it away. Five separate pollsters are landing in the same range, echoing the December 2017 floor Trump eventually clawed back from.

This episode digs into whether MAGA erosion is real or just noise, testing old predictions against fresh NBC/Newsweek identification numbers and a Politico finding on Trump voters ditching the label. Rush and Reagan break down a historic shift in economic trust toward Democrats, sliding Republican support for the Iran war even among Trump's own base, and what Cook Political Report's House forecast means for the midterms. They close by staking specific, falsifiable predictions for Labor Day approval numbers.

Topics covered: the 33 percent approval number and whether it's a pattern or a blip, the MAGA identification split and what's driving it, the economy and Iran war polling dragging Republicans down, and the House math behind 2026's midterm stakes.

Rush and Reagan track Trump's whiplash on Iran — calling off history's biggest planned strike twice in a week, then branding Tehran "unbelievably duplicitous" — while Iran insists it's only talking to Oman about Hormuz, not Washington.

On Thursday, July 30, Alex Jones did the unthinkable and called for Trump's impeachment over the Iran war, and Rush Lindell and Reagan aren't letting the moment pass quietly. They pick apart whether the war powers argument holds up even as they question the messenger delivering it.

This episode covers a lot of ground fast. Oil crossing $100 a barrel and Leavitt's unanswered draft comment get separated fact from fear. The actual congressional vote counts, a 214-208 House win and a failed 47-49 Senate resolution, expose defectors nobody's tracking yet. Rush's satirical mock floor speech on Article I lands some laughs before Reagan pulls things back to the human cost: American troops killed in Jordan, strikes on Aqaba, and a war Congress never actually debated.

They close with three concrete things to watch heading into the midterms, plus predictions listeners can hold them to. Tune in tomorrow to see who's right.

On Tuesday, July 28, Rush and Reagan tackle a hard truth: Congress just voted twice on Iran war powers, and neither vote actually stops Trump from waging war. With three American troops dead in Jordan and a fourth in Iraq, the hosts dig into why a nonbinding resolution and a failed binding one both amount to Congress talking tough while ceding real authority.

This episode covers a lot of ground. Rush and Reagan grade their own prior predictions on the ceasefire collapse, owning what they got wrong. They trace triple-digit oil prices and near-four-dollar gas straight back to the widening war, separating panic-driven spikes from real structural risk. They break down which Republicans are crossing party lines and why, including Trump's blunt insult toward defectors. And Reagan walks through the legal distinction between concurrent and joint resolutions that explains why Congress's votes are more symbolic than binding.

Expect sharp disagreement, a few laughs at Trump's Truth Social threats, and a serious look at collapsing GOP support as prices climb and questions swirl around Hegseth. Next episode: watch for that new benchmark both hosts committed to on the record.
