Joe Wicks is on a mission.

I want to make this and sell it.

He's creating a protein bar.

This is ultra-processing.

That could potentially kill you.

I want the maximum amount of each harmful ingredient while staying within the legal limit. So just how ridiculous the food system really is. Joe Wicks, Licensed to Kill on Channel 4. Stream now. So, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. You daily dive into the news. It is Thursday. And there is a lot to talk about. In fact, so much so, you're getting another daily dose today. You got this and then I stole an hour of Ben Rhodes's time to just talk about a lot of really important stuff for the In Good Faith podcast. Linked to that down below, but that said, we have a lot to talk about starting with this government shutdown again. Because we're seeing a lot, starting with a federal judge blocking Trump from firing thousands of federal workers during the shutdown at least for now. And that, because on the first day of the shutdown, labor unions representing more than 800,000 federal workers sued the Trump administration over its plan to use the shutdown to conduct mass firings of government employees. And they argued that Trump's actions were illegal and exceeded his authority as president. So the unions, they asked the judge to temporarily block the layoffs that have already been announced and to stop Trump from making any future layoffs while the case plays out in court. And then you had the judge granting that request, saying that she believed that the unions were likely to win their argument that Trump acted illegally and exceeded his authority in making those cuts. And actually in her ruling, she took aim at Trump's actions and claimed at one point that his administration has, quote, taken advantage of the lapse in government spending and government functioning to assume that all bets are off, that the laws don't apply to them anymore, and they can impose the structures that they like. You mean, the judge also explicitly pointing out the fact that Trump has repeatedly said that the federal layoffs will target Democrats.

With that, arguing that his threats indicate that his actions are just driven by politics. But of course, that brings us to the question of, well, will Trump actually obey this court order? Which really, I mean, what a time. I mean, it used to be unthinkable that a president would just go, the law. Did you forget who you're dealing with? But now, right, that's a sentence I end up saying every time a judge issues any kind of decision against Trump.

And already the administration... go, the law? Did you forget who you're dealing with? Now, right, that's a sentence I end up saying

every time a judge issues any kind of decision against Trump. And already the administration has indicated that they're just going to violate the court order. I mean, literally, right after the ruling came down, you had OMB director Russell Vaude going on the Charlie Kirk show and saying that the administration could lay off around 10,000 workers in total during a shutdown. Which, I mean, Not alone is a standout update because that's way more than the roughly 4,000 employees

that the White House announced that it was could lay off around 10,000 workers in total during a shutdown. Which I mean, that alone is a standout

update because that's way more than the roughly 4,000 employees at the White House announced that it was firing late last week. And then, you know, all the while, this is playing out. Nothing's really changed in Congress. Republicans and Democrats are still locked in this fierce stalemate and both parties, they're still locked in a battle to pin the blame on one another. And actually, regarding the argument and debate, you had Bernie Sanders and AOC holding a CNN Town Hall yesterday.

One of the things you saw when they were... they're still locked in a battle to pin the blame on one another. And actually, regarding the argument and debate,

you had Bernie Sanders and AOC holding a CNN town hall yesterday.
