🎙️ Episode 043 — “Bill Maher Roasts Kamala, The GOP is Winning the Shutdown, and Texas Redefines the STAAR Test”
In this wide-ranging episode, the guys light up and hit everything from national politics to local education — with plenty of sports banter in between.
We kick off with Bill Maher mocking Kamala Harris’ book 107 Days and what it says about the Democrats’ messaging problem. Then we dive into the latest on the government shutdown, why the Republicans seem to be coming out ahead, and how the media is spinning it.
On the Texas front, we unpack the new STAAR testing overhaul, where students will now take three smaller tests spread throughout the year instead of one big exam — and debate whether it’s progress or just bureaucracy rebranded.
Of course, there’s plenty of side talk — sports highlights, hot takes, and the usual cigar-side sarcasm that keeps the show rolling.
