🎙️ After reflecting on the tragic events of last week, the fellas have some thoughtful takes on Charlie Kirk, left-wing violence and how the democrats lack of leadership is what got us here. It was an honest look into how they were each dealing with the reality of political violence that Ruthless crew now lives with every day. ⚡️ The real outrage is how so many politicians are comparing both sides. Smug is gonna freak if he hears another Republican say that this is a problem with both parties. And it was probably too much to expect a leader like Gov. Josh Shapiro to call out left-wing violence, even after being firebombed by a left-wing Palestinian sympathizing terrorist. 🔐 Are we careening toward an inevitable government shutdown? The fellas talk about the state of play in the House and Senate and what a “clean CR” would do for the negotiations - and who voters will blame. Can Donald Trump control the media narrative during a government shutdown? 💰 Waste, fraud and abuse are still lurking in the federal budget; the fellas were fascinated by some of the ways the Trump administration is hunting it down.
