Today’s episode kicks off with a lively discussion of weather, school days, and a hot-button poll about making Madison's State Street vehicle-free. A caller sparks a heated debate about a potential rebranding of the Department of Defense as the Department of War, hinting at geopolitical implications. The hosts dive into chaos at the CDC, critiquing Trump's controversial appointment of RFK Jr., and the ensuing public health debacle. They also spotlight a mural beautifying the border wall, contrasting with bleak U.S. policy moves, and highlight the economic shifts as India cozies up to China and Russia, leaving America at the kiddie table.
