E-215: Another day with Gavin Newsom
01:18:29|Gavin attends the New York Times DealBook Summit, spending his time campaigning. He then heads to the White House to request billions in fire aid but forgets to waive building fees. Following that, he spends $450 million on a 911 system that doesn’t work. Meanwhile, Trump withholds SNAP from blue states, and another congresswoman insists the federal government should follow her commands. Eric Swalwell wants to allow voting by phone, and some farmers have admitted on camera to illegally hiring farm workers.RUMBLEStretchgooseXManuel Fontes (@stretchgoose) / XSUBSTACKstretchgoose | Substack

E-217: Bondi Beach Shooting
01:11:23|Two gunmen opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, Australia, leaving several dead. California is so strapped for cash that crime is running rampant across the state. Gavin Newsom admits to providing healthcare to undocumented immigrants, Katie Porter explains why the budget is a mess, and Ryan Clark spreads more racism. Oh, and Kim Iversen should reconsider suing Tim Pool.RUMBLEStretchgooseXManuel Fontes (@stretchgoose) / XSUBSTACKstretchgoose | Substack
E-216: The most disgusting story from Stillwater
49:16|One of the most disturbing stories to hit the news in a while is about Jesse Butler, a teenager who raped and beat two teenage girls, yet walked out of the courtroom a free man. Meanwhile, a Muslim woman named Amani has claimed that Muslims built America, a statement I disagree with. Tim Pool says his security team costs more than his studio, and that it’s time for a change. It makes me wonder—who would want to kill all these podcasters?
E-214: So many silly laws being passed and the Epstein files are being released
59:58|Today we learned about the Crown Law in Pennsylvania and the head tax in Chicago. Gavin promised to build 150 temporary houses by the summer of 2026, and we believe him this time, lol. Donald Trump also approved the release of the Epstein files.RUMBLEStretchgooseXManuel Fontes (@stretchgoose) / XSUBSTACKstretchgoose | Substack
E-213: Oh, those pesky Epstein emails
50:35|Thousands of emails have been released, but what do they actually reveal? Most mention Trump and other high-profile figures, yet don’t directly implicate them in any crimes. Jasmine Crockett keeps calling Trump a pedophile, while Dan Goldman suddenly seems concerned about a “cover-up.” Then Texas Republican Lance Gooden asks them both a straightforward question about the files, and they end up stepping on the virtual rake.RUMBLEStretchgooseXManuel Fontes (@stretchgoose) / XSUBSTACKstretchgoose | Substack

E- 211: The economy, EBT, and yes, Matt Walsh
42:13|Today on the show, we take a look at the state of the economy and ask, how bad is EBT really? Spoiler alert: it’s not as bad as people make it out to be. We’ll also dig a bit deeper into the ongoing Matt Walsh saga.Articles:ScénarioÉco_10_Nov_2025_ENmarkets.financialcontent.com/worldnow.ktul/article/marketminute-2025-11-7-us-labor-market-flashes-warning-signs-a-november-2025-economic-crossroadsFinancial Stability Report; November 2025Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Errors and FraudFact Check: What percentage of SNAP recipients are fraudulent?Map Shows Worst States for SNAP Fraud - NewsweekAs SNAP funding lapsed, a top official called the program 'corrupt' | KGOU - Oklahoma's NPR Source
E- 210: The kids keep fighting and the shutdown is over
49:29|Over the past week or so, I've been listening to all these public spats and have come to the conclusion that it's all just theater. None of it feels real, and everyone is playing a character. Nick Fuentes is like a supervillain, while Ben Shapiro comes across as a kind of Professor X. Anyway, the shutdown is effectively over, and the Democratic Party has already started pointing fingers.
