Two NASA astronauts were stuck in space for over eight months—on what was supposed to be an eight-day trip. Now, thanks to Elon Musk’s SpaceX, they’re finally coming home. But why did it take so long? And why are extremist protesters showing up at Tesla factories?

This episode of Whiskey & Donuts dives into the strange new world where political tribalism trumps common sense. The man who made electric vehicles cool is being boycotted by the very people who champion green tech—because he’s not in the “right” political tribe.

We break down:
🔹 The White House EV Summit that snubbed Tesla
🔹 California’s war on businesses that dare to leave
🔹 Why SpaceX’s earlier rescue offers may have been ignored
🔹 How politics now outweighs public good—even in space

If you’re ready for raw, unfiltered conversation that cuts through the noise, hit play. Whether you agree or not, we speak the truth—even when it offends.

Was America’s first female president just a missed opportunity? We explore how political strategy - not just misogyny - kept the glass ceiling intact. What if Biden had stepped down in 2022 or 2023, making Kamala Harris the incumbent? Could that have reshaped 2024? Or better yet - according to Tré anyway - what if Kamala, too, had gotten out of the way?

We break down the cold electoral math: for a Democrat to win the presidency means securing Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Being qualified isn’t enough - candidates must resonate with swing-state voters. While Democrats blame sexism (and Russia!), could their real problem be backing the wrong candidates at the wrong time?

As dozens of countries elect women leaders, the U.S. lags behind. Which party will make history first? The answer may come down to strategy over symbolism.

Bitcoin is crashing, and Tré’s upset - but John’s got bigger concerns, like the billions being spent to find out whether LGBTQ rats can transition. In this episode, we take on the wild world of government spending, market corrections, and how it all affects your wallet.

We track the NASDAQ’s rollercoaster ride, from steady growth under Bush, Clinton, and early Biden to the COVID-era’s artificial inflation fueled by stimulus spending. But were those gains ever real? And now that the market is correcting, is this Trump’s doing, or just the inevitable fallout from pandemic-era policies?

Then comes the spending debate: Trump’s viral claim about $8 million for transgender mice research, verifiable USAID allocations - including $3 million for LGBTQ+ initiatives in the Caribbean - while domestic crises like Maui’s recovery remain underfunded.

With inflation, market uncertainty, and questionable spending priorities, we ask: Should taxpayer dollars stay home, or is global influence worth the cost? Let us know where you stand.
