Episodes
Friday: Jobs Day, Then the Court Takes Over
Thursday, October 1: Two dates three days apart, Friday's jobs report and Monday's Supreme Court opening, are fighting for control of the November conversation.
Rush Lindell and Reagan grade their own Fed calls first. Rush earns a D-plus and Reagan a B for the right call with the wrong reasoning. Then they lay out what to expect from the September payroll number, with forecasts running from about
Wednesday: Texas Turns Purple, and We Owe You Crow
This beat no longer re-quotes Rush's prior 'Texas stays red' line or re-stages the Cook Political Report toss-up move as fresh news — it briefly nods to the cold open's admission and treats the toss-up rating as already-established fact before moving to the early-voting deadline (October 19) and teasing three separate polls without naming them yet. The toss-up reclassification and the GOP-favored
Thursday: Seven Toss-Ups, NH's Shocking Flip

Wed: We Bet Cuts, The Fed Hiked—We Blew It
Thursday, September 17: Rush and Reagan finally admit it on air — the Fed just hiked rates instead of delivering the cut they called for months, and Trump is not happy about it. The vote landed 12-0 for a quarter-point hike to 3.75-4%, the first increase since 2023, with 16 of 18 officials signaling more hikes ahead.
This episode breaks down where the prediction went wrong, why Trump's trad
Tuesday: We Bet Cuts—Now the Fed's About to Answer
This beat established the binary being graded tomorrow: a hike to 3.75-4.00% or a surprise hold, with no cut option left on the table despite the show's months-long cut thesis, and closed with an added exchange affirming they won't dodge their own scoreboard. Reagan's insistence on evidence before victory-or-defeat is spent and should not be re-litigated. Next beat must explain the mechanics of th
Wed: Trump's $5K Bribe or Genius Turnout Play?

Tuesday: The GOP's Hail Mary Convention in Dallas

Thursday: Johnson Punts the Shutdown Past Nov. 3
The House passed a stopgap funding bill 370-48 on Thursday, September 3, and Rush and Reagan aren't buying the victory lap Speaker Johnson is taking. That lopsided margin looks less like consensus and more like both parties dodging a fight they knew they'd lose before the midterms.
Rush and Reagan break down what's actually in the bill and what it means for the months ahead. They trace this year'
Tuesday: Warsh's Jackson Hole Tell Guts Our Cut Call
On Tuesday, September 1, Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole speech puts Rush and Reagan's September rate-cut call in front of a firing squad. The hosts break down exactly what Warsh said, why his use of AI-driven productivity to justify staying tight flips the usual Fed playbook, and how markets reacted in real time as hike odds jumped from a coin flip to over 55% on CNBC and past 66% on CME FedWatch. The
Thursday: We Called The Fed Wrong—Or Did We?
Thursday, August 27, the Fed might hike into an election and Rush and Reagan are here to admit their rate-cut-saves-the-midterms call may be flat-out wrong.

Tuesday: Trump Called Off the Same Iran Strike Twice

This episode covers a lot of ground.
Thursday: Trump's Iran 'Peace Deal' Is a 12-Night War
