Listen "Title: Smith and Wesson, DOGE Social Security Access, Jean-Pierre’s Book"
Episode Synopsis
Trey and Justin begin the show by discussing two Supreme Court cases. The first case resulted in a unanimous decision against Mexico’s lawsuit against gun manufacturers. The case sparked a discussion between the hosts about their own positions on gun rights and the merits of the case. Trey viewed it as a pointless case.
Next, the hosts addressed the split decision to allow DOGE access to social security information. While acknowledging the problematic nature of the institutional presidency, the hosts agree that DOGE, despite its policy issues, should be granted access to the data. This led to an extended conversation about the evolution of the presidency and the concept of the imperial presidency.
The show concludes with a discussion about the possible party realignment occurring in the United States, focused on the departure of former President Biden’s press secretary from the Democratic Party.
