Episode notes

Republicans are furious about the national debt. So why do so many of them keep supporting the people spending the money? And if government-run grocery stores hurt private competitors, apparently government grants can fix the government-created problem. This week's Dumb Bleep of the Week hits both sides.

Nate and Charlie break down Mehdi Hasan's claim that America's far left is basically Scandinavian social democracy, Shane Gillis and Joe Rogan on Teddy Roosevelt and "free healthcare," Marco Rubio's argument against the War Powers Act, and Republicans suddenly rediscovering the national debt after it crosses $40 trillion.

They also get into a city-run grocery-store proposal, the limits of DOGE-style "waste and fraud" cuts, the growth of executive power, and why intentions matter a lot less than incentives and outcomes.
