PREVIEW: Another war is starting and Trump’s confused about it

Here’s what we’re talking about today.

This is a quick rundown of the topics we’ll be covering on today’s show. You can hit play to listen, or read the transcript below if that’s more your style.

Transcript:

The President appeared to casually announce American strikes inside of the country of Venezuela during a random radio interview, and for hours, no one could tell whether it was the truth or whether Trump was simply confused. Now, it was later confirmed, and we will talk about it.

We will then talk about the Epstein hoax, which turns out to be a lie in reverse. The real hoax was pretending that Trump had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein despite years of documented ties and Trump’s own words.

We’re also going to break down maybe the most dishonest claim about Joe Biden’s presidency, which is that he handed over a mess to the current administration. I will prove that he did not.

And then think about this. Trump claims to have ended eight wars. We’ll examine the eight. But by Trump standards, how many wars could Barack Obama claim to have ended? I believe the number is 15.

We also have a horrible person giving another horrible person a prize. This time it’s Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu giving Trump the Israel Prize. What does it mean? And is this just another manipulation of the orange president?

And then a rare moment of truth on Fox News and how their audience reacts to it.

All of it and more on the second-to-last show of 2025. Glad to have you with me.
