Intro

🎙️ The Schumer Shutdown has some confusing goals. The fellas dissect the nonsensical argument from Democrats like Senator Chris Coons and Sheldon Whitehouse, who repeatedly call the plight of American workers their necessary "leeeverage" to push a bailout for insurance companies. The complete lack of strategy from the Democrats over the past six months proves their cynical politics have hit a new low, a low that even the mainstream media and CNN's Harry Enten are being forced to cover with brutal honesty.

🇺🇸 Brent Gardner from AFP joins us to give his expert take from under the dome and the doors, confirming that voters across the country see the Democratic Party’s position for the cynical mess that it is.

⚡ Then, Smug introduces us to a shocking left-wing podcaster who is celebrating political violence and using her platform to call out Democratic leadership for not being radical enough. All because of the utter lack of leadership from Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, who are terrified of their increasingly deranged base—a base that Politico reported would bring the "guillotine" to moderates.

🐵 Ben Stiller shot some sort of hostage video and a terrifying monkey update. And of course, we play King of the Hill, where David Frum takes on champion Sarah Longwell.
