Mike and Jay open the show with a look at the recently agreed upon cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. They consider whether Israel’s response was disproportionate, where responsibility lies for the current crisis, and what role the United States should play. Following that, they discuss the bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6th takeover of the US Capitol. Mike believes it should absolutely happen, while Jay agrees with Donald Trump that it’s a “Democrat trap”. They close with a look at an upcoming Supreme Court case on the right of states to ban all pre-viability abortions.

Trey and Ken begin by asking: who controls the Republican Party and is there a place for Cheney like Republicans? The looming question for Trey is if there can remain a place in the Republican Party for non-Trump supporters. Next the pair get technical, and economic, on the colonial pipeline debate. They also discuss the balance of environmentalism with its human cost. Finally, Trey and Ken discuss the dueling proposals from Biden and Republicans on the new red line: no new infrastructure taxes.
