Despite their slogging pace, John and Gordy have a good time getting this week going. They chat about the National Day Calendar, and also welcome on Pam Jahnke from the Midwest Farm Report, this time talking about another surge in bird flu, and also some studies being done on farm family use (or lack thereof) of health insurance. Later in Idiocracy, we talk more agriculture, and the Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins - who really doesn't care about farmers. The discussion turns to the Bureau of Fiscal Services - now gutted (and replaced) by DOGE, and we close out the hour talking tariffs, and Peter Navarro - who created a fake "expert economist," cited in his book, to promote the detrimental economic policy.
