This Week Unfiltered | 10.23.25

Congress has been on recess for two full months this year —meanwhile still pulling in their salaries while half the country can’t pay their bills, and members of our own military are waiting in line at food banks due to the shutdown.    And while that’s happening, Trump is waving Article Two like a magic wand — saying it gives him power to do whatever he wants. We’ve got  Immigration agents arresting American citizens in ICE raids, and the East Wing of the White House is being torn apart to make room for a $200 million ballroom. Nicole Malachowski joins Amy this week on Truth in The Barrel Unfiltered!   Chapters :   02:48 Civil Politics 07:15 The Harry Potter Presidency? 16:20 The Koo-Koo Clock Press Corp 30:00 Quick Shots   About Truth in the Barrel: Amy and Denver are both military veterans, political junkies, and whiskey lovers who sit on opposite sides of the aisle but have one thing in common: they love the United States of America.   Truth in the Barrel was born of Amy & Denver’s commitment to country, the Constitution, and a well-curated collection of the world’s finest bourbon.   Join them weekly for deep dives into timely topics, interviews with recognizable guests, and a dose of call-in fun.   Visit Our Website: www.TruthintheBarrel.com   Subscribe to Truth in the Barrel: https://www.youtube.com/@TruthIntheBarrel   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0JQcSj5mwVyGDJ8DcXwlu9?si=5f2bd1d1b0c64e6f   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/truth-in-the-barrel/id1804092329   Instagram, BlueSky, Facebook, TikTok: @TruthintheBarrel
