This week, Meseidy and Rachel dive into Joe Biden's bizarre media resurrection tour, starting with his head-scratching BBC interview where he somehow managed to pat himself on the back while the Democrats cringe in the background. We'll dissect Biden's surprising emergence from retirement and what it says about the fractured Democratic leadership. Plus, we're unpacking Trump's new self-deportation program with its $1,000 incentive that's got everyone talking, the latest on Columbia University's pro-Palestinian protestor drama, and breaking news on Trump's first major trade deal. Grab your coffee (or something stronger) because we're about to cut through the media noise and tell you what's actually happening.

• Biden's BBC Blunder - Biden emerges from retirement for a softball BBC interview where he bizarrely claims his administration was "so successful" it was "hard to walk away."
• Breaking News While Rachel Was Sleeping - Trump announces his first trade deal (reportedly with the UK) and withdraws his Surgeon General nominee in favor of MAGA-aligned Dr. Casey Means.
• Columbia Chaos - Pro-Palestinian protestors took over Columbia University Library, with Secretary of State Rubio warning that foreign students involved in trespassing or property damage will lose their visas.
• The Thousand-Dollar Deportation Deal - Trump's DHS announces a creative self-deportation program offering $1,000 incentives that's saving taxpayers money compared to the $17,100 average cost of forced deportation.
• Media Malpractice - The podcast hosts discuss the "largest media scandal in modern history" as mainstream outlets refuse to acknowledge Biden's cognitive decline even as Trump prepares to release audio of Biden's Robert Hur interview.
