About this episode

The episode discusses various current events including homeless detention camps, political meetings, trade wars with Canada, and a mysterious disappearance in the crypto world.

Y'all, we've got a lot to unpack this week. We're starting in Oregon, where the ACLU just rolled out their "No Federal Funding for Homeless Detention Camps" initiative to slam the brakes on a Trump backed plan — and we are here for it. Then we get into something that made us do a double take: The New York Times reports Hakeem Jeffries, who could be the next Speaker of the House, sat down with Jared Kushner to talk about how Democrats and Trump could... cooperate. Cooperate. We have thoughts. Several of them. Not all of them are nice. After that we're talking trade wars, because apparently we're in one now — with Canada. The Wall Street Journal is calling it "The Dumbest Trade War," and honestly? We can't argue with the headline. We break down how we got here and why it's, well, dumb. And finally, we close out with a mystery that just keeps getting weirder: four years ago a crypto boss vanished without a trace. Now? His successor is missing too. We're connecting some dots, or at least trying to. Grab your coffee (or your popcorn), because something ain't right — and we're gonna talk about all of it.
