Meseidy and Rachel are back after a sick week (don't ask about proximity to bathrooms) to tackle Trump's latest executive order spree, including his flag-burning crusade that has even conservatives scratching their heads. They dive into the FBI raid on John Bolton's home—complete with Trump's iconic "Trump Was Right About Everything" hat moment at the Kennedy Center—and give you the real tea on why the Democrats are hemorrhaging voters faster than Kamala's campaign burned through a billion dollars.

Plus, get ready for some secondhand embarrassment as they break down Mom Donnie's legendary bench press fail that had grown men everywhere collectively cringing. From land acknowledgments at DNC meetings to Pritzker getting accidentally trolled by his own cameraman in front of Trump Tower, this episode is packed with the kind of political chaos that makes you laugh and cry at the same time. Buckle up for rapid-fire news, Democrat meltdowns, and Rachel's passionate rant about why land acknowledgments need to die.
