🎙️ Democrats have insane priorities right now. It’s crazy to see the disconnect with Senate Democrats, living it up at a luxurious retreat in Napa Valley at the Hotel Yountville, while the country faces budget uncertainty, and our troops' paychecks are at risk. They're spending $1100 per night to sip espresso martinis, a move that Holmes calls a slap in the face to all Americans. This retreat underscores a new era of Democratic politics where any sense of shame or accountability to the American public has vanished.

⚡We review some of the best of the crazy clips out there, like Al Sharpton and Yvette Clark calling the CR an act of white supremacism. Not to be outdone, we also saw a march by House Democrats demanding a newly elected member be sworn in, a move that’s not possible because the House has already done its job and is out of session. These theater kids are running the asylum.

🇺🇸Amber Duke, senior editor at The Daily Caller, breaks down the Democratic Party's clinical insanity. We cover why today's bureaucracy is so entrenched and the federal purge that’s underway. Amber explains how the media's bias isn't just how they cover stories, but what they choose to ignore—like the government shutdown—to shield Democrats from liability. We also confront the disturbing trend of the modern left justifying political violence.

₿ Coinbase Chief Policy Officer, Fahriar Shirzad, explains why this administration has been the most crypto-friendly in history. He details the fight to bring crypto markets back to the U.S. with policies like the Genius Act and the Clarity Act. Shirzad clarifies that the true value of crypto is in allowing the secure, instantaneous, and cheaper transfer of value. He also exposes big banks’ brazen effort to stop crypto.
