On today’s podcast, we break down a wild 24 hours in American politics and culture. The government shutdown has officially ended, but instead of celebrating, Democrats are already turning on each other as blame, backstabbing, and panic fill the air. We dig into what REALLY ended the shutdown, who’s taking credit, and who’s ducking for cover.

Then we shift to a viral moment shaking up the culture debate: a lesbian woman publicly speaking out about trans women in women’s locker rooms, sparking fierce reactions on both sides. We unpack the controversy, the media spin, and what this means moving forward.

And finally — chaos in the Democratic Party. From infighting to finger-pointing, the “united front” is starting to crumble, and we’re bringing the receipts.
