The gang discusses the ongoing manhunt following the deadly shooting at Brown University, where two students were killed and the suspect remains at large days later. With limited footage and mounting public anxiety, they ask how long it takes before a failure to make an arrest becomes alarming. Then, they turn to Vanity Fair’s revealing profile of Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles, unpacking her candid admissions about internal chaos, hardline policies, and her role as an enforcer rather than a moderating force inside the administration.

The gang breaks down the arrest of Brian J. Cole Jr., the man charged with planting pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters the night before January 6. After years of stalled leads, investigators linked him through surveillance, cell data and component purchases, raising new questions about motive and timing. Then the gang turns to a new study showing people are more likely to exploit AI when it is labeled female. They dig into what this means for how companies design AI systems and how human gender bias gets projected onto machines.

The gang digs into the explosive report that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly ordered troops to "kill everyone" aboard a suspected narco-trafficking boat in the Caribbean. After a second missile strike killed survivors clinging to the wreckage, lawmakers are calling the incident a possible war crime and demanding answers. Then they turn to Ireland’s new alcohol warning labels, which link drinking to cancer, liver disease, and risks during pregnancy. With adoption delayed until 2028 and binge drinking still high among young adults, the crew debates whether these labels will change anything.
