The Weekend News Round Up
The Rules Still Matter. Somebody Tell the Judges. | October 2, 2026
The rules still matter. This week's news raises the question of who is willing to enforce them. Rick Robinson welcomes Amy Curtis and BZ for an outspoken Weekend News Round Up covering Pete Hegseth's military standards remarks, the reported attack aboard a flydubai flight, and the panel's concerns about aviation security. The conversation moves into Saudi nuclear cooperation, China and technology security, and the difference between being educated and actually learning something. Back home, they discuss a Texas custody tragedy, an attempted execution, the Cornell allegations and presumption of innocence, and a Minnesota fraud report whose redactions frustrate Rick. The final stretch centers on the panel's criticism of a noncitizen-voting ruling, judicial authority, and pressure on conservative attorneys, before Amy turns to Wisconsin's governor's race and Rick closes with his take on jobs, campaign spending, and why showing up to vote matters. Sharp opinions, dark humor, and a week that refuses to behave. Contains explicit language and discussion of violence. The views and opinions expressed are those of the host(s) and guest(s).
