Join us in this episode as we take a deep dive into the ever-evolving landscape of domestic updates. While the world is focused on international conflicts, we're here to give you the lowdown on the "What's the Deal" with recent events happening right here at home.

We kick things off by delving into the ongoing drama in the House of Representatives surrounding the speakership. The Republican Party's internal strife and the consequences of their inaction are shaking the foundations of our government. We discuss the real-world implications of this deadlock, touching on matters like Israel and Ukraine aid, military readiness, and vacant ambassador and security positions.

Next up, we address the alarming spread of misinformation by some Republicans, particularly concerning financial support (of which not a penny of has been spent) to Iran and its alleged connection to the recent Middle East conflict. We debunk these claims and shed light on the complexities surrounding this issue.

Join us as we navigate the turbulent waters of U.S. politics, dissect the chaos caused by the unprecedented removal of a House speaker, and explore the potential candidates vying for this crucial position. Though, in an *UPDATE* to the updates: Steve Scalise has since withdrew himself from the Speakership nomination. 

For our Deals of the Week, Dee discusses the healthcare crisis brought through the evolving story of Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton's battle with pneumonia and the subsequent fundraising campaign initiated to cover her substantial medical expenses and lack of health insurance.
