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:
An administration official makes a huge mistake trying to defend their crackdown on seashells, and really admits that the whole thing makes no sense. You can sell it, you can buy it, but post about it in the wrong way on Twitter and suddenly you’re getting indicted.
Also, not getting nearly the attention it deserves, Donald Trump casually mentioned on the way home from Iran, we’re going to invade Cuba. And barely anybody reacted. Almost no corporate media attention. We’ll break down why it matters, what it actually means when a president talks this way.
Plus, Republicans unraveling when asked a very simple question: who won the 2020 election? Can Donald Trump run again in 2028? They can’t say it, or they won’t say it, and the videos are just brutal.
And then chaos in the right-wing media ecosystem, Ben Shapiro’s views are down 85% as he is hemorrhaging subscribers, and the Daily Wire has gone through massive layoffs.
What a show. My sense is we actually publish this one. This won’t be one of the ones that we record and then delete because it’s so bad.
Let’s do it.
