    IN THIS EPISODE

    On episode 21 of What’s the Motion Podcast, we dive into the federal takeover of Washington DC. As lifelong members of the DMV community, this topic is close to our hearts. We break down the who, what, when, why, and how of this pivotal moment in history and discuss possible solutions. We then shift to another local story making national headlines when Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears visits Arlington County Public Schools. From there, we look at the possibility of a government shutdown in the coming weeks and what it could mean. We close with a conversation about the Young Thug jail tapes, the culture of street codes, and the broader impact on society. It is another strong episode filled with the sharp political and cultural analysis you have come to expect.

    IN THIS EPISODE

    The What’s the Motion Podcast crew is back! Fresh from summer vacation, the team jumps into the latest news from the Virginia campaign trail. We break down major developments and explore the strategies both sides are bringing into the fall finale. The conversation then shifts into a deeper look at group mentality, sparked by American Eagle jeans and a rising young starlet. We also dig into the on-again, off-again Epstein files saga and talk about how public policy can sometimes serve as a distraction. And you know we couldn’t end the show without celebrating the return of Clipse, the legendary duo stepping back onto the stage. Tune in for an energetic and unforgettable 20th episode!
