GOP Shuts Down Congress as It All Hits…
Summary
The episode critiques House Speaker Mike Johnson for prematurely adjourning Congress, arguing it blocks the Epstein Transparency Act and ignores economic crises. It highlights rising interest rates under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, who admits inflation will persist until 2029, while the White House blames Ukraine. The hosts feature interviews with Rep. Thomas Massie, who exposes rigged committee processes and condemns the administration’s trade and foreign policies, and Rep. Ralph Norman, who signed the discharge petition for Epstein file transparency.
