About this episode

The episode discusses current political controversies, including surveillance, FISA courts, and international issues, while connecting national politics to local concerns.

On today’s episode, we discuss how the hosts move from light-hearted banter about technology glitches and old computers into a wide-ranging conversation on current political controversies, from FISA courts to state constitutional amendments and election laws. They examine Donald Trump’s evolving stance on surveillance, debate the effectiveness and abuse of FISA, and question why reforms like the SAVE Act struggle while intelligence powers are renewed. The conversation then shifts to international issues, including Trump’s blockade strategy toward Iran and Cuba, speculation about future regime change, and concerns over Canada’s proposed sovereign wealth fund as a step toward deeper statism. Along the way, they touch on media bias, late-night comedy’s political turn, the attempted shooting at the Correspondents’ Dinner, and how rhetoric from politicians and journalists may fuel real-world violence. The episode closes with local Louisiana concerns like gas prices, tax policy, and school funding, illustrating how national and global politics intersect with everyday life.. Don't miss it!
