#:6 Mayors, Missiles and Medical Madness

In this fiery and unfiltered episode of Awkward Positions, Joe and Chris dive headfirst into a whirlwind of political chaos and global instability. From the controversial arrest of Newark's mayor at an ICE protest and the Trump regime's threat to suspend habeas corpus, to the bizarre nomination of an unlicensed "energy-healer" as Surgeon General, this week’s conversation is as wild as it is unnerving. The duo doesn’t stop at domestic disarray—they zoom out to explore rising global tensions in Yemen, India-Pakistan, and speculate whether we’ve already entered the early chapters of World War III. And to top it off? The world now has its first American Pope… from Chicago. Buckle up.
