Show Notes

Pat and Jeffy fill in for Glenn. Vice President JD Vance has a plan for how to counter the socialist propaganda winning over young Americans. Executions are on the rise in America. A conservative Supreme Court justice has a conflict of interest with an upcoming case. A CIA agent was arrested for funneling tens of millions of dollars in gold bars to himself. Minnesota has some interesting voting laws. A caller saw these laws in action years ago, allowing someone to vote in the place of a literal busload of people who didn’t speak English. A Minnesota Senate candidate had some crazy things to say about trans “health care” for kids. Abdul El-Sayed’s sister is an extremely radical professor. Pat and Jeffy review the most likely Democratic presidential candidates, including who Pat thinks it’ll be. Luigi Mangione has pled guilty … but not to murder. Two former NBA players seem pretty serious about trying to join the WNBA. James Talarico thinks it would be terrible to teach children about Christianity in schools.
