In this explosive episode, Alyssa and guest Jasmine dive headfirst into the week’s most jaw-dropping stories—from the gutting of the CDC and the shocking removal of COVID vaccine recommendations for pregnant people and kids, to Texas’s bold move to mandate the Ten Commandments in public classrooms. We break down what RFK Jr.’s controversial health policies mean for insurance coverage and public safety, and why top medical organizations are furious.
We also unpack the latest legal drama surrounding Trump’s global tariffs—recently ruled illegal—and debate whether these court battles even matter under the current administration. Plus, the hosts tackle the viral hypocrisy in political debates, the eerie silence from the CDC as outbreaks spread, and the rise of Christian nationalism in America’s schools.
The conversation gets personal as Alyssa and Jasmine discuss the challenges of maintaining friendships and relationships across political divides, with a hilarious and brutally honest Reddit story about dating a Trump supporter. They don’t hold back on the Andrew and Tristan Tate criminal charges, IRS-induced anxiety, and the everyday exhaustion of living through relentless political chaos.
Expect sharp wit, unfiltered opinions, and plenty of laughs as the hosts navigate the intersection of politics, health, culture, and personal life. If you’re looking for a podcast that’s equal parts cheeky, insightful, and cathartic, this episode is your must-listen.
