Description

The Iowa caucus was so noncompetitive that the story the media were selling was not who would win, but who would place second. Trump did indeed dominate, as expected. Networks called the race about 30 minutes into the process - before most votes were cast. We’ll break down the Iowa caucus results, and what the numbers suggest (if anything) about the general election. We’ll also discuss: The stopgap bill, agreed to by Congressional leaders including Senator Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Mike Johnson, to potentially keep the government open. The House Freedom Caucus response to said bill. The Emmys: RuPaul, Neicy Nash. The bipartisan bill that would expand the child tax credit, and more. Show notes: New York Times: Congressional Leaders Unveil Stopgap Bill to Head Off ShutdownNBC News: Congress announces major tax deal to expand child tax credit and revive breaks for businessesSubscribe to Vibes Only wherever you get your podcasts (probably wherever you're reading this).

The polls are broken. The stakes are unprecedented. And the future of democracy, like it or not,  hinges on one thing – VIBES. Vibes Only is here to check the vibes of American politics and break down the need-to-know news of the week. And while one of the two major parties in the country has overwhelmingly embraced a right-wing movement whose whole vibe is undermining democracy and social progress, it’s clear we need voices that can meet voters where they are and clearly and effectively call that BS out for what it is.Co-host Brian Derrick has earned a reputation for his ability to break down political news and define the stakes to his sizable and dedicated social media audience. Co-host Glennis Meagher is a digital media savant who has built platforms to encourage millennials and gen z to engage with politics, some for the first time. Even when the news of the week could easily kill the vibe, Brian and Glennis are like those needed friends that have the unique ability to keep it real AND pull us out of a doom spiral.New episodes of Vibes Only are available on Wednesdays wherever you get your podcasts.
