What do Zelensky, food stamps, Trump’s jet, and a freaky white party have in common?
Joe and Chris dive into this week’s political circus, unpacking everything from the Big Beautiful Bill flop in Congress to Trump’s unexpected bromances in the Middle East. Plus, they tackle the messy and disturbing details emerging from the Diddy trial — and ask why “consent” seems to be such a radical concept for some powerful men. It’s equal parts hilarious, horrifying, and head-shakingly absurd.
🎧 Buckle up for a chaotic ride through awkward geopolitics, performative legislation, and the shady side of entertainment.
