Episode 205 - February 22, 2025 - In Episode 205, Dave highlights the dizzying week that was by trying to hit as many of the highlights and headlines as possible. Here’s what we know or think on the international stage: Hamas terrorists in Gaza are evil personified, Germany is too afraid of being called names, and someone likely pulled the Mexican President aside and told her what’s what with the cartels in her country. On the domestic front, Trump finally has the bulk of his dream team in place, the potato granted access to IRS data to over 400 people, and if you don’t have whiplash from all of the announcements out of DOGE you haven’t been paying attention.
