A female athlete's silent protest against competing with a transgender fencer ignites passionate debate about the intersection of women's sports, transgender rights, and athletic integrity. Hosts Tré Scott and John Mack examine how this controversial issue challenges liberal principles and traditional sports categories.

• Female fencer Stephanie Turner was disqualified for refusing to compete against a transgender woman
• USA Fencing policy allows athletes to participate in a manner consistent with their gender identity
• The scientific differences between male and female athletes create legitimate competitive concerns
• Both hosts question why more liberals aren't concerned about potential setbacks to women's sports progress
• Turner's protest was silent and dignified, not disruptive or attention-seeking
• The tension between competing progressive values creates uncomfortable positions for liberals

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.

A bad business is blaming "woke culture" for its downfall. We talk about the case of Armed Forces Brewing Company, a Norfolk brewery that is shutting down while pointing fingers at a "local woke mob." But was that really the cause? A deeper look reveals millions in losses, unpaid taxes, and poor business decisions.

We also explore former Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill's role in the controversy, the risks of mixing politics with business, and why neutrality might be the smartest strategy. Plus, an unexpected detour into Osama bin Laden's alleged "burial at sea" - because questioning official narratives is what we do.

A must-listen for entrepreneurs, consumers, and anyone curious about the intersection of business, accountability, and culture wars.

We explore the Democratic Party's strategic challenges following their 2024 election defeat and examine how demographic shifts might reshape American politics between now and 2032.

• Democrats must honestly assess why they lost rather than doubling down on failed strategies
• Migration from blue states to red states is reshaping the electoral map in Republicans' favor
• Young voters are shifting rightward with a more balanced approach to masculinity and identity
• Tre' again declares America may never elect a California Democrat unless they break from the coastal progressive mold
• Blue cities in red states like Austin are often more effective at addressing issues like housing than blue cities in blue states
• Future Democratic success requires candidates who can appeal beyond coastal states and progressive bases

The guys are divided, and Tre is pissed. Why? Because John is out here coddling Putin, and Tre ain't having it. According to him, Putin is THE #1 cause of global inflation, and he's ready to bring the receipts. Things get so heated that Tre literally yells loud enough to disturb his wife, who has to tell him to pipe down.

But just when Tre is about to deliver the ultimate "I told you so" moment… John derails the entire convo with some completely random hypothetical about a homeless guy living in Tre’s backyard (???). And if that wasn’t enough, we finally realize John’s been saying "UN" this whole time when he actually meant NATO - which completely breaks Tre’s brain.

Politics, economics, and unintentional comedy gold - all wrapped up in another classic episode of Whiskey & Donuts. 🍩🥃

👉 Tune in and hear Tre fight for his sanity while John keeps being... well, John. 😂

Two old guys spending way too much time roasting a kids’ fairy tale? Yeah, it’s kinda pathetic - but it had to be done. In this episode, we take on Disney’s latest Snow White remake, a film that seems embarrassed by its own source material. From Rachel Zegler’s cringeworthy interviews to Hollywood’s war on classic romance, we break down exactly why this remake is doomed.

But more importantly, someone’s gotta stand up for masculinity and romance in this country. Fairy tales used to inspire - now they lecture. Princes used to save the day - now they’re erased. And instead of timeless love stories, we get bland, sanitized ‘girlboss’ narratives with all the charm of a corporate diversity seminar.

If you’re tired of Hollywood rewriting the past instead of creating something new, this one’s for you. Tune in as we break it all down with a little bit of humor, a little bit of outrage, and a whole lot of common sense.

And hey, if kids end up loving this movie? Good for them. We’ll just be over here, yelling at clouds.
