The Senate is Falling Apart

The Senate is Falling Apart

Bag Society returns with one of their wildest episodes yet. The team unpacks Lindsey Graham's sudden death and its implications for US foreign policy, the mysterious disappearance of Mitch McConnell from public life, and the implosion of Maine's populist Senate candidate after sexual assault allegations revealed a broken vetting process. This and more on today's episode!

Here Come the Socialists

The Bag Society crew breaks down the wildest week in American politics; from democratic socialist candidates sweeping New York City primaries to Iran literally hiring a psychologist to figure out how to manipulate Trump in negotiations. They dive into the Polymarket prediction market scandal, where fake websites and paid influencers were exposed by the Wall Street Journal. Plus: JD Vance's mid-presidency book tour, Trump signing a deal at Versailles (yes, that Versailles. Irony is dead), the reflecting pool disaster, SpaceX stock cratering, and why data centers with robot dog patrols are turning American neighborhoods into dystopian nightmares. Happy 250th birthday, America.

Is the Iran War Finally Over?

The Iran war is officially over, we think, but did America win or lose? J and S talk about the unbelievable Iran peace treaty, Trump's shocking flip on Israel, and what $300 billion in rebuilding costs means for everyday Americans. They dive into the Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin meltdowns, the real reasons behind the ceasefire, and whether this signals the end of unconditional US support for Israel. Plus: JD Vance's suspicious Diary of a CEO appearance, why he's calling AI 'communist' while his backers profit from it, the UFC 250 culture war moments, and whether Americans are about to get bamboozled again in 2028.

David Grusch

This week on Back Society, the crew dives into the wildest political news cycle yet. A progressive Democrat with an SS tattoo wins his Maine primary, Spencer Pratt loses LA and Trump calls it rigged (in a city with 19% Republicans), and the New York Times drops bombshell Epstein files showing JD Vance held emergency White House meetings about damage control. The hosts break down the theory that Netanyahu uses Epstein blackmail as leverage over Trump, debate whether the Iran deal will actually happen, and discuss why every major political grifter from Andrew Tate to Dave Rubin seems to converge on MAGA. Plus: Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX's IPO, raising serious questions about NASDAQ rule suspensions and what it means for your 401k. And in the conspiracy corner, Giorgio Tsoukalos is now the voice of reason calling out David Grusch. Yes, really.

Why Is the Government Punishing Its Own Cities?

What happens when the president wants to punish American cities by cutting off their airports? The Bag Society dives deep into the Trump administration's sanctuary city crackdown and its real-world impact on travel and cargo. The crew also tackles the Iran deal's stunning $300 billion price tag and why MAGA supporters who screamed about Obama's $1.7 billion are suddenly silent. Other hot topics include Tulsi Gabbard's exit from government, reports that JD Vance is the White House leaker, the embarrassing performer exodus from America's 250th anniversary celebration, 23andMe selling your DNA, the SpaceX IPO valuation bubble.
