Episode Details

Vibes Only is a brand new podcast from COURIER that will check the vibes of American politics and break down the need-to-know news of the week.

The vibes this week: 

• The three year anniversary of January 6th just passed. We disuss the politics of the insurrection and the state of democracy 3 years on…
• A Trump lawyer made a stunning assertion that presidential immunity would cover the chief executive in the hypothetical case of having a political opponent assassinated.
• SCOTUS has agreed to weigh in on Trump’s eligibility for the ballot in Colorado - after the state’s Supreme Court deemed him ineligible for violating section 3 of the 14th Amendment which bars those who had taken an oath “to support the Constitution of the United States” from holding office if they then “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
• The Iowa caucus is less than a week away and GOP voters appear poised to overwhelmingly choose that candidate ^
• Fox News had an interesting guest on to predict "what's in store for 2024."
• In her latest "public performance," Lauren Boebert allegedly punched her ex-husband in the face multiple times at a restaurant. 
• Mayra Flores, a Republican seeking to win back her old seat in the Rio Grande Valley, has been accused of routinely stealing photos of Mexican cooking to pass off as her own.
• Golden Globes, Taylor Swift, Jo Koy, and more all popping off in the group chats.
• And finally, activists and organizers in Florida secured enough signatures to put a referendum on next year's ballot to secure abortion rights.
