The madman did it. Mike Johnson pushed the Big Beautiful Bill through the House in a razor-thin 215–214 vote, with one Republican voting present. It happened in the early hours of the morning, after an all-night session where, reportedly, one GOP member literally fell asleep during the vote. It's wild how this keeps happening: Johnson, backed by Trump, threads the needle just enough to claim victory — first on his own speakership, then on the budget, and now on the crown jewel of Trump's second-term domestic agenda.The vote was close, but this wasn't chaos. It was strategy. Johnson avoided making promises, waited out the loudest factions, and let Trump do the squeezing. First, the SALT caucus got its $40,000 cap. Then, once the blue-state Republicans were on board, the House Freedom Caucus got summoned to the White House. Trump made it clear — get in line. And they mostly did.What's Actually in the BillThe bill itself is massive. It permanently extends the 2017 Trump tax cuts. It temporarily exempts tips, overtime, and auto loan interest from taxes through 2028. It raises the SALT deduction cap to $40,000 for households earning up to $500,000. It imposes work requirements on Medicaid recipients aged 18 to 65 who don't have disabilities or young children. It bans Medicaid and CHIP from covering gender-affirming care. It cuts federal funding to states offering Medicaid to undocumented immigrants.Then there's the border and defense spending: $46.5 billion for the wall, $4.1 billion for more Border Patrol agents, $1,000 asylum application fees, nearly $150 billion for defense, including missile shields and naval expansion. It throws in a Trump Savings Account for kids, expands 529s for education, and guts clean energy tax credits earlier than expected. This is not a modest proposal. This is the full kitchen sink — and it cleared the House.The Congressional Budget Office says it'll add $3.8 trillion to the deficit over the next decade. For a party that used to live and die by fiscal restraint, it's a hell of a turn. And yet, what's striking is that Democrats are the ones now talking about debt again. The shift is real. But the counterargument is simple: we've been living under this tax structure for seven years. Making it permanent just formalizes the status quo. The new spending and credits? That's where the fight will be.Next Stop: The Senate WallNone of this becomes law unless it gets through the Senate — and that's a very different battlefield. The GOP has three votes to spare. And their best lobbyist is JD Vance, who's barely spent any time in the chamber. This is not the House. Rand Paul is a hard no. Ron Johnson is already calling out the deficit. Susan Collins is watching the optics. McConnell still looms over the process, even if he's stepping back from leadership.The House version of this bill isn't making it. Changes are coming — the question is whether they come from the right or the left. Johnson's strategy got him this far. But in the Senate, Trump's grip isn't as strong, and the margin is even tighter. The message is clear: they passed it out of the House, but the real negotiation starts now.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:12 - Big Beautiful Bill Passes House00:13:34 - Interview with Ryan McBeth00:46:17 - Update00:47:21 - Israeli Embassy Shooting 01:02:26 - Senate Bill Response01:04:15 - Texas Hemp Ban01:06:06 - Interview with Ryan McBeth, cont.01:34:29 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Join Frank, Squeaks, and Jonathan as they explore the latest updates from the geek universe. This episode covers the newly revealed Switch 2, a review of the Disney+ series Skeleton Crew, and an in-depth discussion about the Daredevil: Born Again trailer. The team debates Magneto vs. Static Shock in a fun “versus” segment and speculates on the future of Star Wars spinoffs. Whether you're a hardcore gamer, comic book fan, or Star Wars enthusiast, there's something here for everyone! Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction and team roundup 00:37 - Magneto vs. Static Shock: Who Wins? 03:15 - Switch 2: Initial impressions and specs discussion 12:30 - Daredevil: Born Again trailer breakdown 25:30 - Vision Series Speculation and MCU updates 29:40 - Skeleton Crew review and Star Wars discussion 39:10 - Fun debate: Dream special edition consoles and spinoff ideas Takeaways: Magneto's versatility and power make him a strong contender against Static Shock, though the fight would be close. The Switch 2's updated design and rumored specs bring excitement, but questions remain about third-party game support. Daredevil: Born Again promises comic accuracy and intense storytelling, with fan-favorite characters returning. Skeleton Crew combines nostalgia and adventure with a well-crafted story that feels like an 80s sci-fi classic. Star Wars storytelling benefits when it focuses on smaller, character-driven adventures rather than galaxy-changing stakes. Quotes: "Magneto could use his abilities to manipulate physical objects outside of what both of them control." "Switch 2 feels like a more mature version of the original—slicker and built for a wider audience." "Sometimes the best Star Wars stories are about simple adventures, not galaxy-altering events."

In a razor-thin victory, Mike Johnson was reelected as Speaker of the House with a 218-215 vote. The drama unfolded as Johnson initially appeared poised to lose. A tense roll call saw several hardline Republicans withholding their support, including Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, who ultimately voted against Johnson. Johnson managed to flip the remaining two holdouts after a private huddle on the House floor and a call from President-elect Donald Trump. Their late switches gave him just enough to secure the gavel, avoiding a repeat of the 15-vote marathon that Kevin McCarthy endured in 2023. The vote was crucial, as the 119th Congress could not begin work until a speaker was elected. Johnson received praise from Trump and promised to cut government spending and target what he calls a "totalitarian fourth branch of government known as the administrative state." Progressives have come out warning that that could include cuts in Medicare and Social Security. The narrow outcome highlights the deep Republican divisions as Congress embarks on a new legislative session. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Duke Blue Devils were able to win on the football field over the weekend, but on Episode 646 of the Duke Basketball Roundup, we know we need to get better. Duke was able to beat the UConn Huskies 26-21, the 3rd straight week that Duke scored 26 points. There were definitely some guys who had standout performances, but Donald and Jason know that improvement is a must as the calendar continues to move. We break down some of the things that need to improve as the Blue Devils turn their attention to this Saturday's game against Middle Tennessee. After the break, AJ Griffin is reportedly considering stepping away from the game of basketball. We don't know anything official yet, but we offer some encouraging words to the beloved member of The Brotherhood, no matter what he ultimately decides to do. Finally, we salute an absolute legend in the Duke community, as we discuss the passing of Dean Gerald Wilson. He served as an advisor and mentor to thousands of students over his 60 years, including Donald and Jason. They both reflect on his life of service to Duke and how he personally shaped their lives.

The Star Wars fandom is highly vocal, with polarizing views that can be navigated respectfully. Iconic comics like X-Men's Dark Phoenix Saga and Savage Dragon have deeply impacted fans. Superman's new film is bringing practical effects back, evoking nostalgia for fans. Deadpool and Wolverine's use of iconic 90s music brings a unique charm to the movie. Star Wars Skeleton Crew aims to capture the adventurous spirit of the Goonies, appealing to both kids and adults. The closure of the Xbox 360 Marketplace marks the end of an era, prompting fond memories of games like Gears of War and Oblivion. Game Informer's legacy as a pioneer in video game journalism remains influential despite its closure. New D&D rules are being introduced with a focus on community feedback and adaptability. Memorable Quotes: Aaron: "The biggest thing about Fandom Portals is just the fact that it's really connected to social media and making social media social again." Squeaks: "I would say arguably PS2 was better than 360. I'm saying it." Frank: "The Xbox 360 was probably the best system ever, and they are closing down the marketplace for that."
