They trace the rot downward through emergency fertilizer imports, gutted nuclear safety rules, and Germany quietly shredding its sick leave. Then it's on to the Supreme Court's 6-3 birthright citizenship ruling, a rare win whose dissents double as a how-to guide for undoing it. Plus: Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom start circling Zohran Mamdani, and the guys discuss what political weathervanes tell you about which way the wind is blowing.
