In Episode 400, Ken and Dave discuss SCO)TUS taking up the Fourteenth Amendment, Somali fraud, double tapping boats, an upcoming execution in Georgia, the worst congressional candidate, tiny cars, and the DC bomber.

- Deion Sanders received a major salary raise at Colorado despite the team running a deficit and the lack of on-field results.
- Florida (UF) poached Georgia Tech's Offensive Coordinator Buster Faulner, a move viewed as a necessary career stepping stone for Faulner.
- Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green (MTG) attended a public hearing to oppose a proposed bio energy plant in her district, while simultaneously skipping congressional votes.
- Trump's "unforced errors": removing free entry to national parks on **MLK Day and Juneteenth**, replacing them with free entry on his birthday (June 14th), and naming the National Peace Institute after himself. The hosts suggest this behavior harms the Republican party.
- Birthright Citizenship Case at SCOTUS: The Supreme Court agreed to hear a case challenging the interpretation of the 14th Amendment's phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof," which currently allows "tourism babies" (babies born in the US to non-resident parents) to gain citizenship.
- Trump approved Tiny Cars for manufacturing in the US, following a visit to Korea. This move challenges EPA regulations that previously restricted smaller, fuel-efficient vehicles.
- Somali Fraud Scandal: Allegations of massive welfare, healthcare, and SBA fraud (potentially billions of dollars) in Minnesota, tied to the state's generous welfare system.
- This fraud reportedly has ties to a political network close to Ilhan Omar and involves state funds meant for school children's meals being pocketed, with money allegedly sent to Somali warlords.
- The "Tap It Twice" Incident: Debate over the Navy Admiral's order for a second drone strike on a disabled Venezuelan drug boat with two survivors clinging to the wreckage. The hosts argue the second strike was permissible under the mission objectives to disable the vehicle.
- Georgia Execution ("The Hot Shot"): A man convicted of the 2003 murders of two real estate agents (Lorie Brown and Cindy Williams) in a Cobb County model home is set for execution on the 17th, concluding a 22-year legal battle.
- Savannah Watershed Tax: The city proposed a new tax based on the square footage of non-permeable areas (roofs, driveways) on private property.
- A gun was found in a bathroom at Durham Middle School in Cobb County during a school play, leading to parental panic and discussion of how often firearms are accidentally left behind by concealed carriers.
- Democrat Aftyn Behn lost a special election for a Tennessee congressional seat by only nine points in a district Donald Trump won by 22 points. Bane was heavily criticized for being a "nasty woman" who campaigned against Nashville culture and country music.
- The Would-Be DC Bomber: An individual named Brian Cole Jr. was finally arrested for placing viable pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC buildings nearly five years ago. The suspect is described as an anarchist, with speculation that the arrest was delayed as he did not fit the initial media narrative of a white, pro-Trump extremist.
