   FREE MONEY?! Not so fast. Why is $9,000 for stay-at-home parents a hallmark of the authoritarian state? I dive into Vance's latest policy proposal - and how all is not what it seems to be. Also, what is behind the rise of trad wives on tiktok? I explore this bizarre regressionist movement as well.

   The January 6th Insurrection: Revisited

   In this episode, we revisit our episode filmed on January 6, 2021, where I interviewed a House staffer who was there on that fateful day. “I was looking out the window and saw all sorts of weaponry, including assault rifles and handcuffties…. They were yelling about Nancy pelosi- where is she, where is she? My heart started racing and I thought, am I going to have to defend the congresswoman somehow? Should I barricade the door? Will I have to get out our hoods we would use for a gas attack?” Hear what really happened on January 6th as the Trump administration tries to rewrite history. Never forget.
