Ahead of the Iowa caucuses, Bill and Matt discuss the state of the GOP primary race, including this week's primary debate. Can Nikki Haley win New Hamsphire, and will that even matter? Next, they discuss Speaker Mike Johnson's attempts to avoid a government shutdown, and whether Joe Biden is capable of driving a positive message.

New bombshell reporting reveals former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was receiving detailed policy directives from her spiritual guru Chris Butler and the Science of Identity Foundation while serving in Congress — and she followed them closely.

In this episode, Bill Scher and Matt break down the disturbing implications now that she served as DNI, Trump’s chaotic handling of Section 702 reauthorization, his bizarre blockage of a bipartisan housing bill, and JD Vance’s audacious revisionist history on Watergate and the “deep state.”

We also discuss the surge of democratic socialist wins in New York, Zohran Mamdani’s strategic (and risky) moves, what it all means for the midterms, and much more.

Mike Johnson has been elected Speaker of the House. Just before the vote, Matt and Bill talked about his chances. They also discussed Democrats' decision to help defeat former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and whether this is part of a risky strategy to elevate MAGA. Lastly, are the walls finally closing in on Donald Trump as his close confidants plead guilty? We report, you decide.
