Description
The Meidas Brothers begin the show with a debate about Jordy's "Spite Beard" and Ben's "Brother Jiu Jitsu" before heading into this week's top stories. First, the brothers discuss the Biden administration's decision to return billions of dollars from Trump's border wall funding back to the Pentagon. Then, they have a debate over the merits of calling Trump "The Former Guy" and if this framing hurts more than it helps. After, the brothers analyze the moment Mitt Romney got booed off the stage at the Utah Republican State Convention and the performative faux patriotism of the GQP – along with when Michael Flynn was exposed for not knowing the Pledge of Allegiance. Next, the brothers discuss the differences in the COVID responses and results between blue and red states – and why the media needs to stop heaping praise on Ron DeathSantis.
After, Michael Cohen, former Trump fixer and attorney and host of the Mea Culpa Podcast, joins the program to give us the latest on Rudy Giuliani's legal troubles and what they mean for everyone in Rudy's orbit. Cohen discusses the "daddy issues" of Trump and Rudy's kids and reveals once and for all which is the dumbest! He then tells us the latest about the investigations into Donald Trump.
Later, the brothers analyze Ted Cruz's blatant admission of bribing corporate America and his "Chavezzy" response to corporations who seek to support democracy, the GQP's obsession with the word "woke", and the obsequiousness of the pathetic Republicans who still refuse to criticize Trump.
