The radical Left continues to lose its mind as the DOGE aims to cut all the wasteful spending, even if that means useless government employees losing their jobs. Some of the latest cuts are the Department of Education canceling $600 million in grants to radicalize teachers. Pat Gray joins Glenn and Stu to discuss the "reign of terror," as one Democrat representative described it, happening in Washington, D.C. If climate change is the most existential crisis, why does the Left hate the man who has done the most to prevent that existential crisis from happening? The guys also review the latest hit single from leftist protesters. Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer joins to discuss how President Biden helped President Trump take over the Kennedy Center. Glenn reads his letter to President Trump urging him to look into potential fraud regarding America's gold reserve.
