  1. Trump's Phony Ceasefire & Elissa Slotkin’s Threat to Run for President

    Trump's Phony Ceasefire & Elissa Slotkin’s Threat to Run for President

    We return to discuss the strange US-Iran-Israel (?) ceasefire that Israel immediately broke, and all of the lies that flowed from it. Despite Lebanon being included in the ceasefire, that didn't stop Israel from launching Operation “Eternal Darkness,” which dropped 100 bombs in 10 minutes, killing hundreds. Domestically, Elissa Slotkin found herself in the news again, this time with prospects for 2028. We break down all the reasons why she's bad for the party, from her record in the Senate to the nothing-burger statements she always makes in the media.

  2. Infinite Money for War with Iran (feat. My Democrats)

    Infinite Money for War with Iran (feat. My Democrats)

    NOTE: The news of a potential ceasefire came out after the recording of this episode. We will discuss it on the next episode. Cory Booker (Cory Booktour) is a lame cornball, Trump's war on Iran continues to escalate (this time featuring a bizarre Easter message), U.S.-Israel-Iran negotiations are on and off, and my Democrats might be plotting to support Trump's $1.5T military budget request.

  3. Mallory McMorrow Canceled Our Interview, Here's What We Would’ve Asked

    Mallory McMorrow Canceled Our Interview, Here's What We Would’ve Asked

    Can anyone really trust Mallory McMorrow? That is the question we set out to answer with our interview of McMorrow, but she backed out last week. Since we have no interview to give you, we instead take a critical look at the differences between what McMorrow says and what she's done with her political power. Topics include her votes in the Michigan state legislature to give tax breaks to datacenters versus her claiming she wants datacenters to pay their “fair share,” the $120,000 she accepted in corporate money in the past versus her swearing it off this election cycle, her wishy-washy statements on the Gaza genocide, her half measure healthcare plan, lackluster plans for ICE, and outwardly racist solutions to her lack of support with black voters. We are still more than willing to schedule an interview with the McMorrow team if they want to reach back out!

  4. Centrists Have Hasan Derangement Syndrome

    Centrists Have Hasan Derangement Syndrome

    The boys talk about the insane drama that unfolded after Abdul El-Sayed announced his two campaign events in Michigan with Hasan Piker. Mallory McMorrow made a statement that contradicted her past stance of appearing on shows with large audiences and compared Hasan to Nick Fuentes. Democrats with 2028 dreams, like Elissa Slotkin and Corey Booker, are also inserting themselves into the drama. Broadly, Democrats are floundering when it comes to their association with Israel by performatively condemning AIPAC money without understanding why AIPAC money is bad in the first place. Of course, the war in Iran still wages on, and our Democrats are just waiting it out.

  5. This War Makes No Sense Whatsoever

    27 MARS

    This War Makes No Sense Whatsoever

    CORRECTION: ATC is not directly impacted by the current shutdown, and there were two reported ATCs at La Guardia during the recent accident, not one. If you were wondering why Pete Hegseth is so insane, we have some answers (maybe). Then, the boys talk about how confusing everything regarding the Iran War: Trump keeps lying and saying things will end, then saying it won't end, then saying Iran is begging for an end, but also saying he doesn't want it to end too soon. ICE put boots on the ground in U.S. airports across the nation, and so far, they're not doing very much?! What a country!

    The boys talk about the $200 billion funding request for the war in Iran, the things that money could pay for instead, Pete Hegseth only speaking in Haikus, a Politico article that revealed the Trump admin's consent manufacturing strategy is to post “banger memes”, what's going on with Cuba, and a WSJ article beefing with Hasan.
