    This Week Unfiltered 08.07.25 Today Amy is joined by special guest cohost, Mallory Hagan as they take an UNFILTERED look at how pandering to Trump now requires gerrymandering. Then, it turns out that “Vladimir, STOP!!” wasn’t great foreign policy – so we’re back to nuclear saber rattling with Russia. Plus, the House Oversight committee subpoenas the Clintons (because of course), the “father of IVF” turns out to be just another deadbeat dad, Nebraskans put the pressure on Mike Flood, the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics is fired for doing a good job, and Trump destroys satellites for climate change.

    Today we’re taking an UNFILTERED look at the continuation of President Trump’s tariff madness. New deals have been made, but did America benefit from them at all? Then we try to determine just how much Pete Hegseth’s insecurity is driving DOD policy. Spoiler alert: it’s a lot. Plus FEMA’s in need of emergency management, Trump picks a fight with Beyonce, healthcare costs are going up, Kristi Noem goes horseback riding, and a MAGA-loving school superintendent shows porn during a board of education meeting.
