## Resource

Ep. 315 - Democracy Dies in Daycare David and Brad kick off 2026 by examining America's fraud epidemic—from Minneapolis' multi-billion dollar Somali daycare scheme to a Florida congresswoman's $300,000 FEMA-funded diamond ring she tried to airbrush out of her Christmas card. Meanwhile, Trump immortalizes Biden's legacy with an auto-pen portrait and the most savage presidential plaque in White House history. Plus: Can Navy SEAL training from the movie "Frogman" explain OJ's bloodless crime scene? And why does Instacart defeat the entire purpose of grocery delivery? The guys wrap up 2025's greatest hits and make predictions for the year ahead—spoiler alert: more jackassery incoming.
