The gang discusses growing concerns around Senator John Fetterman, as a wave of staff departures and reports of erratic behavior raise questions about his health and leadership. Fetterman dismisses the scrutiny as politically motivated, but Senate Democrats are quietly debating how best to support him amid mounting criticism. Then they examine the temporary U.S.-China trade truce, where both sides agreed to lower tariffs for 90 days in hopes of stabilizing markets — though underlying tensions remain far from resolved.

With the cause still unknown and finger-pointing already underway, the team examines the vulnerabilities of modern infrastructure.
