Listen "The Political Reality Show: Headlines and Chaos"
Episode Synopsis
Duration: 33:27 | Recorded on April 27, 2025S2E14 - In today's episode, the brothers discuss the news and political landscape. They touch upon how Donald Trump's constant engagement with the media, even negative attention, makes him a "money maker" for the press because "it sells." They also debate the effectiveness and transparency of the current administration's efforts to cut government spending, with one arguing it appears like a "sideshow" due to issues like rehiring laid-off employees, while the other believes it's a necessary, albeit a "blunt instrument," approach to get anything done in a resistant government system. They also speculate on potential future political candidates and the challenges of enacting meaningful change.Featured Bourbon: Knob Creek 18 Year Bourbon Whiskey Show NotesFederal Cuts Dominate March 2025 Total: 275,240 Announced Job Cuts, 216,670 from DOGE Actions DOGEPope Francis has died on Easter Monday aged 88 The Two Popes
