In today's episode, we dive into the ongoing saga in the House of Representatives. Speaker Mike Johnson, dubbed 'MAGA Mike' is walking a tightrope, having passed a Continuing Resolution with more Democratic than Republican votes. What does this mean for his future? Also, the Republican Party is getting more violent. Could Trump take things further and try to physically intimidate President Biden?

We’ll be talking about the anti-Israel left reaching shocking new lows and discuss some of the prominent figures making truly appalling statements that endanger Jewish life. We also listen to the audio of former British politician Jeremy Corbyn pointblank refusing to call Hamas a terrorist organization.

Also: Jill Stein is earning her Russian blood money, George Santos spent donor money on OnlyFans, and we have our "Sunshine of the Week" segment for a small dose of optimism.
