    Cathy and Troy break down the verbal melee in Congress in the middle of the House Oversight Committee meeting, when Marjorie Taylor Greene decided to talk trash...then Jasmine Crockett made her eat it. But really isn't this what the House of Representatives was designed for?

    Biden agrees to debates with Trump...because Trump is an idiot and didn't realize you don't have to challenge your presidential rival to a debate, those are scheduled for the fall right before the election. But Biden calls Trump's bluff and now we get another round of the absolute horror show that is the Trump/Biden debate. Awesome.

    Biden works on a deal with the Saudis to bring them into the fold on Israel in exchange for a ceasefire agreement. Will Israel agree to it?

    The International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and the leader of Hamas while the President of Iran dies in a helicopter crash.

    And Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker decides to step in shit, lecturing college graduate women about how much better their life would be if they just gave up their careers and committed to making babies. Will Taylor Swift respond to her boyfriend's jackass teammate?

  • Episode 132: #FederalPregnancyRegistry #WhatComesNext? #AnyoneButHamas #WomensRights
    May 14 2024

    Cathy and Troy analyze Biden's decision to withhold offensive weapons from Israel after Benjamin Netanyahu crosses Biden's red line and attacks Rafah, and an investigation reveals U.S. weapons have been used to commit war crimes. Now all eyes on Tel Aviv and Washington as the world turns against Bibi, and Biden now has to decide if he will fully abandon the brutal Israeli response against the Gaza Palestinians.

    While campus protests accelerate in the name of establishing an Arab Palestinian single state, i.e. ending the state of Israel. But what will that mean if the only government lined up to take control of such a state is Hamas? A far right, Islamic fundamentalist, anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-Jewish regime, with 8 million Jews living in Israel. What is the plan? And where is the secular democratic leadership that can demand rights for the Palestinians without forcing a mass removal of the Jews, and the expansion of extremist sectarian fascism?

    And creepy Alabama Senator Katie Britt introduces a bill to create a federal registry of pregnant people. Trump tries to claim his rally hit 100,000 attendees on a boardwalk in New Jersey with a capacity of 25,000, and the local media repeats the lie. And Cathy pontificates on the potential of a larger Russian invasion of Europe in the first ever edition of the segment: Cathy smokes the tea leaves.

    May 7 2024

    Cathy and Troy break down the looming attack from the Israeli Defense Forces on the city of Rafah, the last vestige of security for the people of Gaza, what the choices are for Biden now, and how this moment more than any other will define his legacy.

    Hamas agrees to a tentative ceasefire proposal written by Egypt to release hostages in exchange for a brief cessation of hostilities, but how will Bibi and the hardliners in the Israeli government respond?

    Protests grow on college campuses. Some are met with horrific racism, as in the case of Ole Miss. While some occupy buildings and become radicalized , and still others broker negotiations to achieve their goals from the universities.

    Cathy and Troy break down the history of college campus protests and draw parallels with the campus demonstrations of the late 1960's.

    And dog killer Kristi Noem wins Troy's lie of the week. And it's a complete disaster.
