CDC Shake-Up: Fired Director’s Lawyers, Kash Patel vs. Swalwell, & Florida’s Statue Moves

Drew opens with the CDC shake-up: ex-director Susan Monarez grilled on when she retained counsel and which attorneys—flagged as high-profile anti-Trump lawyers—after RFK Jr. fired her. Then, Kash Patel tangles with House Democrats (Swalwell, Schiff, Goldman) over “government gangsters,” Epstein files, FBI staffing, and viral grand-jury gotchas.

Florida beats: AG James Uthmeier launches a probe tied to alleged Arctic Frost targeting of conservatives; Gov. DeSantis announces Founders’ statues in Franklin/Hamilton/Madison/Monroe Counties; Byron Donalds’ DC Crimes Act passes the House with bipartisan votes. Plus: Fed cuts rates 25 bps, Disney Springs heist by wetsuit bandit (!), and Obama/Hakeem Jeffries reactions to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Bonus: Billy Corgan on chasing fame vs. unconditional love—Drew’s must-hear clip.
