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:
Trump’s administration is in full-blown distraction mode. They are rolling out a new scandal over something called Arctic Frost, and they are saying it is 100 times worse than Watergate, which is exactly what you say when you’re terrified people might start asking real questions about the Epstein files.
We’ve got Senator Eric Schmitt melting down, Lindsey Graham rewriting history, and a 92-year-old senator who cannot hear reporters standing just a few feet in front of them, while everyone on the Republican side pretends this is completely normal.
We then have JD Vance, the Vice President, going out and saying it’s completely reasonable not to want neighbors who speak a language other than English. It is open, naked xenophobia, and he says it with a straight face as if this is totally normal.
We’re also talking about the farmers turning on Donald Trump because the tariffs are destroying them. And we will discuss why the hardcore MAGA cult cannot walk away, even when they’re getting obliterated. What is it that happens inside of cults that is such a strong draw?
Plus, your feedback from email, Facebook, Spotify, smoke signals, and telegrams — all of it on today’s show.
