Trey and Ken open the show outlining the stange dissapearance of U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. Both Trey and Ken agree that deep mistakes were made by Austin, but Trey think Biden should have noted it publicly that it was a mistake. Ken thinks that Republicans have created an enviroment where Democrats cannot appologize.
Next is a discussion of both the Federal Distict Court Case against President Biden for failing to prevent genocide in Gaza and the ICJ case from South Africa accusing Israel of genocide. Ken argues that the legal definition of genocide has not been met by any stretch. Trey argues that the American left may not have an ethic of a just war anymore and that, as a result, many of Democrats are wrongly critical of Israel.
Then they turn to Hunter Biden's appearance at the House Overight Comittee before pleading not guilty to three felonies and six misdemeanors. Trey saw the whole thing as a made for TV moment, but one that will ultimately hurt President Biden. Especially because he thinks it is likely Hunter will be found guilty on a few of the charges. Ken thinks it is the right move for Hunter and is less convinced of guilty charges.
They end the show discussing the strange closing arguments for Trump in civil court. They also make conflicting predictions. Trey beleives that the Court couldn't behave in a normal maner with Trump and therefore that there will be no lasting rulings against him, Ken continues to believe he will be held accountable.
