The gang reacts to Joe Biden’s recent cancer diagnosis, reigniting speculation over his health during his presidency and whether past statements masked deeper issues. They also break down the bizarre prison interview between Harvey Weinstein and Candace Owens, where the disgraced producer denied wrongdoing and attempted to reframe his public image through a right-wing lens. The panel debates what this says about #MeToo's legacy, public memory, and the state of political rehabilitation.

The gang discusses growing concerns around Senator John Fetterman, as a wave of staff departures and reports of erratic behavior raise questions about his health and leadership. Fetterman dismisses the scrutiny as politically motivated, but Senate Democrats are quietly debating how best to support him amid mounting criticism. Then they examine the temporary U.S.-China trade truce, where both sides agreed to lower tariffs for 90 days in hopes of stabilizing markets — though underlying tensions remain far from resolved.

Is it a necessary step towards post-9/11 security, or an overreach of the surveillance state designed to restrict movement?

The gang avoids tackling the 100 days of Trump's second presidency that they all just collectively lived through by discussing this week's massive blackout in Spain and Portugal. With the cause still unknown and finger-pointing already underway, the team examines the vulnerabilities of modern infrastructure.

Then, they dive into the White House’s feud with Amazon over tariff transparency, as the e-commerce giant considers (or did they?) showing Trump-era tariffs on product pages — a move critics call political, but supporters frame as consumer education.

After a brief re-dive into the ongoing Abrego Garcia case, the gang digs into Trump’s threat to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status over the university’s refusal to alter its protest and DEI policies, freezing billions in federal funds in the process. They also examine Kamala Harris’s potential run for California governor, a move that polls show splits Democratic voters and draws skepticism from political elites. With Harris leading early polls for the 2028 presidential race, the crew discusses whether this detour to Sacramento would help or hurt her national prospects.
