Hi, everyone. In today's episode, we talk about the reassigning of Christy Noam, the humiliation of Marco Rubio, and the U.S. abandoning of its embassy staff overseas. Hi, hello, and welcome back to Even More News, the first, the only news podcast. My name is Katie Stoll. Hello there. Hi. Additional greeting. I'm Cody Johnston. Additional greeting to you as well, Cody Johnston. And yes, it's looking like Jonathan is also here. Oh, hi. Hi. It's beginning to look a lot like me.

James. Yeah, I'm dreaming of white Jonathan. That is the only one there is. Before we dive into the show, I just wanted to address some feedback from our last. episode earlier this week, specifically feedback directed towards me. And I want to make it very clear that I Katie stole am against regime change in any circumstance, whomever the president. I did not make that perfectly clear in the last episode. I thought that I did. And at first, I was a little annoyed.

But then upon reflection, I'll admit that I could have chosen my words a little clearly, a little more clearly. So I apologize to anybody that got the wrong oppression. I don't think it was everybody. But yeah, no, no, I'm not for it. But I do intend, I think something about me is that I do try to present all elements of things. That's how my brain works. I like that about myself.

Sometimes I can get misconstrued. I've run into it in the past when I talk about conversations I have with other people up here. And in this case specifically, I do think I could have chosen my words better. So yeah. That's fair. I need to apologize, but I'm sure people appreciate that. Because I think that one thing we were discussing this, I think one thing you mentioned are like, you know, when people are mentioning like, oh, the regime's done this or this, like there's no process. They're not getting permission from Congress, all these sort of things.

a lot of Democrats are saying that kind of thing. A lot of like liberal pundits are in that realm because they don't want to say we don't agree or like they don't want to say like, well, we kind of like the war. We want to do a war. But like with, but you're not doing the process right. So that a lot of people that are sort of saying those sort of things as a shield and as a way to kind of legitimize it while being delegitimized a little bit. And I think maybe people sort of felt that energy as well or just because you're saying

Well, because they're getting it everywhere. Well, because the truth is that they didn't ask Congress for permission. No, they didn't. Like the situation. It doesn't change it. But many people are saying that in order to avoid talking about how we shouldn't be doing this. Had he gone to get congressional approval, my hope would be that it wouldn't have happened, probably wouldn't have, that would have raised a lot of questions.

And then we would have had more information about how clearly this is, there's no plan in place, et cetera. And again, even if there was a plan in place, that doesn't mean that I think we should do it. Well, right. And also, like, I think people responded to your use of the word intervening, which suggested that there are circumstances by which you would want to militarily intervene, which is not the case. But also, like, we were reacting to tens of thousands of people having been slaughtered in Iran in the last few months, and you want to look desperately for any way to support those people.

It's hard to have that reality to acknowledge both the immense suffering and pain of people in Iran and friends of mine that have family there, you know, while also acknowledging that it is not our job. And in fact, everything we do makes it worse. And in fact, we helped in a very major way contribute to this situation over the past many, many, many, many decades. And so when I say something's complicated, I mean all of that is complicated.

What's not complicated is we don't deserve to be there. There's no reason for us to be there. Well, maybe we'll get it right this time. But it might work for us. It's hard. We also all have such strong feelings and are worried and horrified at everything that we're about to discuss. So, you know, people, you know, I understand people in, especially in landscape where

both parties are kind of cool with it in varying degrees and so you know when people are talking about it I think people also feel like well if you're acknowledging this or you're saying this or you're pointing out this it's so similar to what they're saying

it bolsters them and so I think it's just like in the landscape people are like very sensitive to anything that could seem in support of it or misconstrued in certain ways and so on but so let's I mean with all that said, maybe, like I said, maybe this time we'll get it right. Maybe

in and out and whatever we do in that quick, quick, in and out period of time will not cause any problems, won't exacerbate things, won't create power vacuums, won't create more problems that we need to step in and maybe extend. You know, you start, it's only going to be a couple days. Maybe it'll be a week. Maybe it'll be two weeks. I believe then it was four weeks. I believe then it was eight weeks. And I believe now they're saying September. of this year. I hadn't heard September. September is what they're floating now.

In and out, baby. In and out. Just in and out. Maybe this time it'll be different. Mm-hmm. Jonathan. You okay? Is it different? Oh, well, I need to step back

from the international stage real quick. So we can discuss this morning's breaking news. Oh, the breaking news, yeah. Which is that Christy Noam is out at the Department of Homeland Security She's getting the promotion though She's getting To what is her new job

Pretty big Pretty big opportunity for her She doesn't want to pass up Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas The fuck Yeah special envoy For the Shield of the Americas

Which sounds like Just the worst Like seventh spin-off Of a successful superhero show The Shield of the Americas Is apparently Our new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere

that Trump is going to announce in Florida on Saturday, whatever it is. Is it just like his version of NATO, but for like the Western Hemisphere and only America and we're going to take everything? I think it's something he just made up today as an excuse to fire her without firing her.

Is Corey Lewandowski going with her? Of course he is. He's loyal. What's he going to do? He doesn't want to hang out there with Mullen. And we'll get to Mullen. but the reason Christy Noem was fired is not because of all the evil stuff that the Department of Homeland Security has been doing over the last year. It's because she really upset Trump by throwing him under the bus during the congressional testimony this week where she was asked about the contract that went to her former spokesperson's husband, a company that didn't exist two weeks earlier that has no headquarter.

quarters or website that got $143 million. And it was for that $143 million went towards this ad campaign where Christy Gnome was on a horse talking about all the good stuff we're going to do. And she said at the congressional, uh, at the hearings that like, well, Trump, you know, wanted me to do it. He wanted me to show off what DHS was going to get up to, um, which seemed to suggest that he approved the blatant theft of hundreds of millions of dollars. taxpayer money. You're testifying that President Trump approved this ahead of time.

So I'm understanding. We had conversations about making sure that we were telling people. No, ma'am. I'm asking you. Sorry to interrupt. But the president approved ahead of time. You spending $220 million running TV ads across the country in which you are featured prominently. Yes, sir. We went through the legal processes. Did it correct? Had he worked with OMB? Yes. He did. Yes.

Okay. So he got really upset at that and says that he did not approve that at all. And then this morning... I'm going to just put this out there. I believe her. 100%. I think that's probably the case, right? Is that she was telling the truth and then he got mad.

And then... Yeah. I mean... Believe women, boys. No. Yeah. I completely believe her. He said, spend whatever you need to spend.

Yeah, do a commercial. Talking about how great, how Trump's closing the border and Trump's doing all this great stuff. You need more costumes? Go get them more costumes. Whatever you got to do. Maybe. Maybe Trump didn't say funnel the money internally to our pals. Don't like, maybe he might have phrased it differently.

Maybe he's like, make sure we can keep you. But he also wouldn't have cared unless it hadn't blown up. Oh, they found out. About her funneling money to, you know, friends. I mean, had it been funneling the money to the Trump media group or whatever the hell the company is that owns truth social, if it was funneling money to him, he wouldn't care. But it was funneling money around him to other people to the woman who just resigned a couple weeks ago because she got the money. I got the money. Why do I need to stay here doing this awful job?

Yeah, I'll go do the special envoy to the sword of America or the shield of America. I don't know. Whatever. Could really use a Nick Shirley on this. I don't know if we've even talked about that story here yet, like the blatant theft and corruption that is going on. That Christenome should have been fired for months ago when that story came out. I think ProPublica.

Oh, yeah. That's how long we've known about the blatant theft. And yet it's only when she said, well, Trump told me to do it. He's like, well, she's got to go. She has had a really bad few days on television Poor thing Well, and that's the important part to him So it sure takes a lot

To break through in this new cycle Just because of the fucking constant barrage of bullshit But here we are We've got a new DHS secretary Mr. Mark Wayne Mullins Yeah, it's really funny to choose him Because he's also been terrible on TV

He's so doping and bad. It's like he just had a really bad moment on TV. It's embarrassing. It's clownish. But that's the choice. Mark Wayne. Mark Wayne. Is he going to be up in all of our airports?

I don't know if you guys have experienced this. He's got two names. When I flew a couple months ago, just Christy Nome is all over videos of her talking. But now do we get Mark Wayne? I'm going to spend a bunch of money on some new commercials, some new videos for him. him. I mean, I imagine, I imagine now he's maybe not going to go full force. Like, oh, yeah,

you want a reality guy. Oh, maybe I'll like lay low a little bit because clearly you don't. I think he shouldn't take the job. That's probably a good call. He has a seat that's as safe as seats get in Oklahoma. He's 47. He could be in the Senate for four more decades. Fuck man. He could be president. Or he can be like Stephen Miller's boss or Stephen Miller's subordinate is what I meant to say. Yeah, he'd be Stephen Miller's subordinate and then he could get betrayed by the president publicly and then have no career at all after this. Maybe he could get assistant to the special envoy for the Shield of America's. A lot of opportunities ahead for him if he takes this job, which he would probably get confirmed for because John Federman has already said that he will vote yes. This guy.

It's just such political poison in the long term. If you're smart, you would think twice. But I don't know. He wants to get betrayed. Well, I think we've addressed that breaking news enough before pivoting back to the other ongoing, rapidly developing horror show. The war that's a war that. War, but it's not a war. We don't call it that.

The Trump administration certainly believes it's a war. Trump calls it a war. war every day. He's like, let's go back to the war. I'm having so much fun with the war. But they, but it's not a war. He said that it's not a war. And then the other guy said it was not a war. And then some other guy said, well, they declared war on us, but we're not fighting a war. So I, it's, uh, obviously, Jonathan, like we got, I mean, the same information from all, all sides. This is fucking ridiculous. All day, every single Republicans, like, this is not a war. It's not a war. we're just doing like combat operations and then fucking at some tech like conference meeting

Trump's like anyway I got to go literally like you were quoting him directly that wasn't a bit he literally said like I got to go watch the war um which is so I mean obviously that's what's going on and they know it's a war and it's a war and they're doing war and they're pretending it's not war it's part of war but also like it's so funny like that moment is like this is his heaven he's like he's for so long he's been like, I know I'm anti-war and blah-la-la-la-la. I really want to be a war president. He's finally a war president and he gets to say stuff like, I got to go watch the war. It's all TV bullshit for him. It's so stupid. I have to go back and look at the war. You know, I have a lot of things happening.

Look at the war. Unbelievable. But on my programs. But it's also not a war. So I don't think we need But it's also not a war, special military operation, whatever you want to call it, just like Russia. Are you guys seeing this? Is this true? We're breaking U.S. suspends operations at its embassy in Kuwait? We are like, well, I think the war is widening, and I don't think any embassy in the area is safe. No.

Which brings us to Marco, Rubio, the Secretary of State, who really should not have a job after this week. He has had a rough one. So the U.S. has essentially abandoned. not just visitors to not just American visitors over there, but diplomats, embassy staff. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem deleted this tweet but said it is not in a position at this time to evacuate or directly assist Americans in departing Israel. There is a State Department emergency hotline you can call, but when you call you get a pre-recorded message, or at least you did a few days ago that says, please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation. It's so enraging.

It makes my head spin. Just launch us into this bullshit and leave people stranded with no recourse. Desperate thousands and thousands of people. We've got people stuck on cruise ships not allowed to get off with bombs falling around them. This is what the fuck? But I mean, have you considered that it happened so quickly? I've been told to consider that, Cody. I have been told to consider how quickly this happened.

It just happened so quickly. To get, you know, Oliver. Okay, you might freak out to. Oh, yeah. So I'm referring to the president of the United States who said that this happened so quickly. I do think this is like this is a, or should be, a huge scandal abandoning

your own diplomats and embassy. thought Benghazi wasn't going away. What is going on? So this is, yeah, the thing that they pretended to be mad about for so long is basically this. Part for the course, whatever. Trump's only statement about it, I think as of right now, as of

when we're recording, is this from the White House on Tuesday. Commercial air travel right now is in thousands of evacuation well, because it happened all very quickly. We thought and I thought maybe more so than most, I could ask Marco, but I thought we were going to have a situation

where we were going to be attacked. They were getting ready to attack Israel. They were getting ready to attack others. You're seeing that right now. And a lot of those missiles that are hitting in, those are stationary. Those were aimed there for a long period of time at these other countries.

So I think I was right about that. We attacked first. And if we didn't, it could have been, you know, look, we're really, decimating them. They're being decimated. I wanted to play that whole thing because he only addresses the question in the first like five seconds. Yes. When he said, well, it happened very quickly. And that's it. He's like, and what happened quickly

is that Trump had a hunch that Iran was going to attack us first based on nothing. They've presented no evidence of that. They've also said others organization have said that's just not true. It is just not true. Every reporting we have is that there's good faith negotiating, trying to get to an agreement, you know, obviously. And that was directly contradicted by his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, the day before, I think. When his excuse was, well, Israel was going to attack Iran with or without us, which we, and that means Iran was definitely going to retaliate and include us in that. So we had to attack first, which Trump then said, that's not true.

I was going to do it because they were going to attack us. So on top of the complete embarrassment of abandoning people overseas, you've also added like a fifth or sixth excuse for how the war happened. And kind of unwittingly, I don't think Marco thought about it, but indicated that Israel drags us into a war, that Israel tells the president. Donald Trump what to do? You really thought Trump was going to be okay with that? Like this week for Marco Rubio, I think, ends his presidential ambition. You think so? It's embarrassing. I would love that to be true. Of course it should. Of course it should. It should have any ambition should have been ended a long time ago. I mean, they're not, you know, no one's a, I mean, they're not really a fan of Marco Rubio anyway. He's just there and he's doing all these sort of

things that, like, I can't believe he said that out loud. And then, of course, got mad when people directly quoted him. Yeah, that's not what I said. I also want to point out that all these scenarios, this sort of like, well, Marco Rubio said that, well,

Israel was going to attack them no matter what. And so we assumed that the retaliation would be directed at us. So we had to join them. Or Trump's vague hunch that like, well, they're going to attack us, even though everybody says

they're not going to. So we got to attack them first. Both of those are bad reasons. It's not like, oh, it's, just so like because he's trying to like cover for like a bad reason with a work with another bad reason he's like oh it's not it's not the thing that marco said it's this other thing that sucks too

um it's just no good reason or reason that makes much sense at all has been given uh everyone is contradicting each other they don't have a reason um and it's getting longer and longer and worse and i just the fact that so many Americans are stranded and abandoned by their country in a war zone. Just the utter disregard. I mean, it's not as though that's a mystery that they could give, they could care less about the cost of human lives. They could care less about how many soldiers end up dying or not.

How many people end up dying? How many Iranians die? You know, the support. I mean, they're not even pretending. It's about the benefit of citizens there. I mean, like, you just targeted, we're going to talk about this in a moment, more and more likely that the United States is responsible for the horrific bombing of the little girls school. There's just no, no regard for life.

Well, yeah, they don't care, and that's part of it. You know, like their whole thing is like, yeah, we're actually callous monsters and we're just doing. has to be done. And they don't care. Heg Seth every day is just saying something along the lines. Well, tragic things happen. Bad things happen. That's war. This is just what it's going to be like. And it is just this attempt to make it seem like any sort of care or like reaction to civilian deaths or like any destruction during this is being framed as either necessary. And this is what happened. or like if you care about it, it's woke. They're also, they're doing this thing where they talk about how we're not doing any more

politically correct wars, which is nonsense. It doesn't mean anything. It's garbage, but it's being said in order to make it so you can't care about any of this. You're not allowed to care about any civilian deaths. You're not allowed to care about war crimes or any of this because that's political correctness. This isn't the political correct war. All the woke wars that we've done throughout. our history. Those were bad, but this is a non-woke war. And so that's what, that's just what they're doing.

And it's so transparent. All this, all this rhetoric that they're throwing out there is so obvious why they're doing it. Hegseth goes out there every day and gives these like, he like scats like a little speech. Yeah. Where he says, we're raining death and destruction from the sky. He comes out there like the mouth of Sauron, like threatening all of us. And there's no like. And there's no like. And, I'm not saying I want the days of Rumsfeld, but Rumsfeld used to go out there with like charts and stuff and be like, here's the objectives and here's the things we're trying to do.

And Hegseth just goes out there and rants maniacly. Yep. It's just aesthetics. He just wants to be a TV general. He wants to be a movie guy. Toughest guy. And then the only time he like isn't as, uh,

as determined and sure about everything as he acts, you know, being Mr. TV secretary of war guy is when he's asked about that girls elementary school, which more and more analysis is showing that was the United States that did that, he says, all I know, all I can say is that we're investigating that. And that's been the line from Karen Leavitt and from Heggseth. We're investigating that. It appears that school and a clinic next to it, like a decade ago, were part of this larger IRGC compound, but they have not been part of that compound.

in a long time. Clownish. Yeah, like either very outdated targeting information or didn't care. That's, I lean towards,

didn't care. Having outdated information certainly speaks to just how ill prepared they are for this. Again, it doesn't matter if they're prepared or not, I don't want them there,

but this is just, there's literally not, what are you doing if you have bad information? If that ends up being the excuse you don't then the people you have running this shit get them the fuck out sorry claude hallucinated it um yeah it's really really disgusting and um it's very clear that it's obvious what happened um not like specifically the details but it's obvious that we did that um it was it was like

one of the first things we did um literally like really like really like just like stepping back and looking like okay so we're doing this war that's It's not a war for like 10 different reasons and nobody really knows. And it's just sort of happened so suddenly we couldn't plan for like helping anybody. One of the first things we did is blow up this fucking school. And days, days later after after a week of being like, well, it's going to be a couple day combat operations. Oh, it might be a couple of weeks. Okay.

It's going to be till September. All of that. Now he's being asked like, so are they like, did you investigate it? And he's like, well, we're investigating. Okay, well, it's been a few days. And they're clarifying it. It's been a few days. And you have all this information about like all these targets.

You have all this huge military operation. Do you know anything about it? We're investigating. No, you're not. You did. You know. How do you not know? How could you possibly not know if it was you or not?

It's impossible. It's impossible to not know. It feels impossible to trust all reporting. not that you should trust all reporting, but we have such limited access now to what's happening the hit that journalism has taken under this administration and for a very long time. But I don't trust reporting. I don't trust that someone's getting the scoop. If they're hedging about this answer, eventually we'll have more information,

but we should have more. We should have people with access that are able to dig up this. information for us and we are. You don't think Tim Poole's going to look into that? No, I don't. What about Nick Shirley? Is he not going to look into this? Well, I mean, I'm waiting for him. He's the hero we need, right? Yeah. Yeah, it's just all horrific. We, they did that shit. They did that shit. And they might not ever face consequences for it. But I just keep, I just keep coming back to like, it's the first fucking thing we did. Like, in this, like, very, very, mild combat operation that's just like in and in and out the first thing we did but war crimes don't

matter anymore it doesn't feel like any amount of protest would dissuade no trump from going further but how many like how many more elementary schools are like how many more children are we going to kill in this now months you know however long uh engagement were out there and I'm I hope they I think they'll probably note the closeness of the elementary school to the compound and claim that they were

using them as human shields We don't have any schools Near military bases Yeah no but there's no schools on We don't do that military bases No it's like how do you even like You know there's all these elements There's like

There's all these elements to the war and all of these horrendous things they're doing and horrible excuses they're making. And like you said, Cody, day one, we just slaughter over 100 kids. And how do you come back from that? But when you contrast that reality with the other reality, which is that Heg Seth and God knows how many other generals and people fighting this war, organizing it, are calling it a holy war, are saying that this is the prophecy. seed war end times. Yeah, we're bringing him back.

We're bringing him back, Katie. We're bringing him back, baby. He's on his way. I'm just highlighting Christianity and this idea of goodness and the people that protect children and all this shit. And

we don't actually care. And it is chilling to have people out there on camera out there saying this to our troops, saying that this is a holy war. Well, yeah, I mean, HEC-Seth is out there, and I believe Marco Rubio probably said this. A lot of these guys, we've been saying it past a couple weeks, our enemy are these, like,

religious fanatics. These are religious fanatics. Theacrats who like, one, this, this, this is this. What the fuck you're talking about, man? That's you. It's you. It's not only you, but, like, it's also you. We've talked about this link between evangelical Christians.

Yes. And the sort of end times prophecy and how they... We talked about it with the... genocide started. We've talked about it over the years and how they really, really, really, really, want this to happen because it's going to bring Jesus back or whatever. And that is largely what drives evangelical Christians support for Israel. If you know evangelical Christians in your life or you have in the past, you know exactly what we're talking about. They don't hide it. They talk about all the time. It's very, very obvious. And the fact that so many, they've gotten thousands of completely.

about this since this started. Just openly saying it, I'm surprised but not, I guess. This is just the year of just saying everything out loud as loud as you can. But the fact that they're out there being like, yeah, this is a holy war and we're going to like bring Jesus. Like all this sort of stuff is like, that's really fucked up. And you shouldn't be doing that. And it just doesn't bode well for, I think, the mission, whatever that may be or this entire war, not war. And it should be noted that Mark Wayne Mullen is an evangelical Christian. He'll be focusing on rounding up people in the American streets, obviously, and dealing with the domestic terrorists of American citizens.

With the POV of a Christian. Yeah, specifically an evangelical Christian. But it's all just really, really, really, really messed up. The one little glimmer of, I think, positivity that I saw today is that the CBS town hall planned by Barry Weiss with Vice President J.D. Vance in about a week has been indefinitely canceled. Wow. That was quick. Which I think is maybe a little telling as to what's going on in the country and maybe how people are feeling about the administration and maybe the sin eater is a little full and he doesn't want to go out there and have another meal right away.

He doesn't really know how to, he doesn't know how to talk about this effectively. As of right now, we're recording Thursday afternoon, Vance hasn't tweeted since Monday evening when he tweeted. He was interviewed on Jesse Waters and he said, somebody should do a welfare check on him. Check him in. Yeah. President Trump will not get the United States into a years long conflict with no clear objective. So there's some wiggle room there.

But you can tell he doesn't want to be out there. doing this, which really makes you think that he was fine eating all those other sins. Oh, yeah. The stuff he defended the most horrendous cruelties imaginable. Yeah, he had no problem with. Yeah, another treat?

Yes, I'll go gobble that tree up. He found his line in the sand. This is the mounds bar or whatever, whatever has the coconut things in it. Almond joy? Almond joy. Almond joy's got nuts. All the Jones got nuts.

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you feel like, you know, gobbling up the war crimes and sometimes you don't. Sometimes you feel like you spend a year talking about how this, he was the peace president and he wasn't going to get you into another war in the Middle East and that's the exact specific thing. Well, those were dumb wars from dumb administrations. And these guys, they're not dumb, actually.

He's going to have to get trotted out again soon. I don't know. I mean. getting maybe he'll hide Maybe he's just going to hide Until Trump dies I think

The move Could be at some point To strategically Resign and announce you're running for president To move on To a new era Of

Maybe a moderate compassionate conservative Leadership Uh yeah I mean he's definitely Searching for that That safe path

He's like that safe path. How do I do it? I can stick around and I can voice my concern and stuff. He's going to have the Kamala problem though. If he's part of this administration, he's going to have to defend or find areas where he can say, I don't agree with what the administration has done on this. And here's what I do while he's vice president, which the big guy's not going to like. But he does have something that Kamala doesn't have, which is charmed.

which is charm and likability. So. Apparently, should we talk about the likelihood of ground forces going in to Iran? No, they're not doing that. They're not already there probably. Special forces probably aren't already there. The White House still says that ground troops are not part of the plan right now. The plan?

The what? All right, go ahead. Sorry. They're not part of the concepts of the plan. Well, it happened too quickly, so. Certainly Trump doesn't want to do that, but now he's stuck in a, he's going to. A war that he started. You can see the progression, though.

You can see that he was convinced because of Venezuela and stuff that we'd be able to bomb, bomb, bomb, get in and get out. Cuba's next. You can't bomb your way to regime change. This was all easily foreseeable. So he's going to try doing, you know, some other stuff and then the naval warfare. It's not going to work. You're not going to have control.

over who takes over he said today he's like oh Kaminet's son can't do it I need to be able to choose like I know you don't need to tell us that you don't think the guy who's the son of the guy that she just killed should do it yeah but he's going to find that he either has to leave with his tail tuck between his legs or commit farther and I think we all know what he's going to do there's also reporting that Kurdish armed forces based in Iraq that the administration's interested in arming them and training them and helping them there was a report that Kurdish forces had already crossed the border from Iraq into Iran which they said wasn't true so very muddied stuff there and then I think today the polymarket like the ground troops before March 35

first one account that's been right about stuff mysteriously like nine times in a row just placed a big bet that that's going to happen which feels bad straight up bad but it's happening all the time this is this is this is this is awful the corruption doesn't stop we've I mean it's been obviously termed to so much more it's been like this so long ever I mean the Bitcoin the coin all the stuff they're they're pillaging it's It's just there it's just take what you can. That is what they are doing in with every single aspect of it. The fucking Christine Nome video.

The starting of a war. Any opportunity to plunder this fucking country and planet. They will take. It is really, really obvious and disgusting. Also, there was that TMZ report, which I don't know. I didn't see shared anywhere else, but I'm just we can cut it. Go for it. Go for it.

I said it to you guys. They got Osama bin Laden. Yep. No. The CM report was that there were guys talking about how we were about to invade Iran or not. Yeah, just did like some restaurant and some bar restaurant. And then these podcasters are like, dude, I just heard on the podcast. I can't.

This is such a clown show. That's where we're at. It's just I remember learning college about, you know, history, repeating. itself, blah, blah, blah. And you're like, but surely at some point with all this knowledge and the internet, we evolve past this tendency to do

the exact same things. Oh, no, we don't. We don't evolve past it. No, we did the tragedy part. Now we're doing the farce part, which is also a tragedy, incidentally. It's also tragic. It's just stupider. I keep thinking about the quote

from the Royal Tenen bombs. Yeah, everyone knows that Custer died at Little Bighorn, but what my book presupposes is, what if he didn't? That's how I feel like everything is right now. Like, yeah, okay, but what if? What if? It worked this time. Well, did it work for those people? No, it never does.

I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but it might work for us. So the Senate had a chance to vote for a measure that would have forced Trump to pull back to get congressional approval before doing the stuff. Doing stuff that they're going to do. Yeah. And it failed in the Senate of 53 to 47 on party lines except Rand Paul joined the Democrats and John Federman joined the GOP. What? Fetterman. So they are just completely, I guess if they.

completely abdicate their role as a check on the president, then it's not their fault when it's a huge debacle. Yeah, that seems to be a strategy. But also at the end of the day, they want it. You know, a lot of them want this to happen probably, you know? They're open to it. There's signals that they are open to it. And as much as you can, you condemn this war, but like, you know, if we need to, I'll vote for it. Like, I'll look at all the, all the angles. It's just the talk that they do. So that's it. Congress is. not interested in checking any kind of war power. And to be clear, this is not just Trump or even just Bush. This is something that every president for the last 60, 70, however many years since

the start of the Cold War has pushed farther and farther and farther. What can we get away with without congressional authority or minimal congressional buy-in? And so this is just the latest and potentially ends up being most egregious example. Yeah. Yeah. Do you want to look at this call of duty slop that the White House posted? Saw this tweet from Ian Miles Chong, who's been on a, he's been having a fun time in Dubai being like, everything's fine, we're great. He tweeted yesterday, it's wild how many people fall for AI slop, which is like the funniest thing for him to say. I just picture him like typing it out and being like, and I'm going to reap the benefits. Like, whatever.

Anyway, here's the White House. Yeah. Cool. We probably got to cut the music from this. Oh, but it's so cool. Fascist. Inter-sersing of Call of Duty footage with actual footage. I might be just a fucking a 12-year-old, but that is some cool stuff. That is so cool. I mean, this is the...

The bombs and the music, and, like, I'm familiar with the video game, so that's cool. this is really awesome Does it make you want to fight in the war? I'm a little bit Yeah I'm in oh god that is effective Is this what call of duties like? I guess I mean here at the beginning It's what this is like

It's like first person shooter stuff Yes? Well this is called Duty modern warfare 3 Which I'm not personally familiar with There's a bunch of the games But this is just real them blowing up stuff Cool very cool Which is, yeah, very, very cool guys.

Did they have video of them blowing up that school? Did that include that? Did that make the cut? Are they investigating the video of that? Right. What else is there to investigate? Because they have all these videos. They film their crime spree, right?

Where they murder people. So they've got the footage of that, and you could just look at the satellite before pictures and the before you blew it up things. It's like every time, something happens or like a professor at a school or something they're like well we have to conduct an internal investigation and in all reasonableness the investigation should be about three minutes like oh this is kind of cut and dry let's think about it a little bit cut and dry but no this is

going to be a week there's going to need to be like an inspector general watchdog group that has to go in and there will have to be subpoenas and they'll have to find out oh you scrub the footage oh i see Oh, you deleted the footage. And the audio of the guy being like, fuck yeah. Got them. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, the idea, I actually am glad we watched that terrible bit of propaganda because, yeah, they have it. And just in the sense of like it pulls us back to that aspect of this thing.

I don't know. It's really, really garbage. Oh, I don't think it's actually cool, by the way. Oh, you were being facie. I was like, I was over earlier. That's good. Let's just make it real clear. We don't have to clarify.

Yeah, next Monday, I'll be like, listen, folks. So we have a retraction of your approval of the video. Not that I want to belittle the fact that a lot of people in this country have long commutes and that gas prices do really impact people's everyday bottom line. But the thing that is going to upset people the most from this, because it's going to be what they hear. If they're not watching the news, it's going to be what impacts. them directly is that gas is up 20 cents a gallon this week, likely to go higher because of all the stuff.

I don't know much about the straight of Hormuz, but it's not good when you... Things aren't good there. We'll probably be learning a lot about the straight of Hormuz over the next many months between now and September. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. This will affect average Americans' opinions in the near future.

which is a sad reality that that's what it takes, but also it's going to be bad. I'm scared. I'm worried about that. Just driving to L.A. is about to get gnarly, I think. You're right. It's just like going to be really depressing. Like, oh my God, gas is up,

is back. Gas is up 165. Well, that's how many people we killed in that school. Yeah. Right. I mean, I think that's a really important thing to keep in mind. But yeah, let it anger you. also understand.

It's a several things can be true type of thing. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's going to be very bad for a lot of people. It's going to affect their ability to get to work

to run their farms, to everything. Or what is it good for? Like, not to, but like, come on, it just makes everything worse.

Unless this time, sorry. Maybe this time. Have you read this? I, we didn't get up to speed on this before. we recorded for this episode,

but I saw the story about how more fertilizer than you would think also comes through that way. So it's not just the price of gasoline, but American farmers are about to be hit pretty hard by the price of fertilizer because of that supply chain blockage as well. Gasoline with their machinery and, you know,

everything. It's wild. Not in Amiphoria, but yeah. that supply chain based inflation essentially destroyed the last presidency and is going to be maybe the primary thing that destroys this one along with the 50 crimes against humanity that we talk about all the time that are like sub factors for most people but that's fine like it's just remarkable that he doesn't have the foresight or doesn't care He doesn't care. Yeah. And I mean, even everything, everything, you just kind of contrast it with everything. Like, he's sent out some truth or whatever about how, like, America will help escort your, like, energy shipments.

But we can't help American citizens get out. We can't, like, we can't, we can't carry about the people, but, like, the energy we got it. Don't worry about that. And it's just. Right. No, there's no, he's not being politically pressured to say we are sending every available resource to get our patriots out of there, whatever. Nope. We're taking care of the sweet precious oil. We got your energy, don't worry. Yeah. Yeah, it's just really disgusting all from start to finish end to end. By the way, check out that ballroom that's going to be back there. A few months, just you wait. They're calling it maybe the best one that's ever been built. The best ballroom. Oh. See, I've been looking for the best ballroom ever, and thankfully I don't have to look far. I hear also that that is maybe being stalled because it's so unpopular, and they keep polling people, and it's like 1% of people support it or something like, something like that.

Also, while I was, you said that thing, Cody, about, like, he truth socialed, oh, we're going to protect the oil or whatever. And so I'm like, oh, let's see what he's truth socialing. And four hours ago, he truth socialed, like, pictures of. of the interior of a building, which may be the ballroom, like artist renderings of the ballroom. And then five hours ago... Dude, you started a war a few days.

Five hours ago, he posted a Fox News article about pardoning five former NFL stars, which he did like three weeks ago, but he might not know that he just did that. Like, he's just sitting there scrolling the phone, retweeting things he forgot he did three weeks ago. He's like... Fallen asleep in meetings with his cabinet secretaries, some of whom he might fire or might not fire.

Like, this is Mad King, George, or Eris Targaryen. I have to point out, sorry, just I rarely go on truth social for obvious reasons. Ever since that guy bought it, I can't take it anymore. They ruined the truth social. something like the first ad you see is huge letters was Trump decision on firing DHS secretary correct yes or no is a featured ad and it's like I thought you didn't want people to know you fire oh my featured ad is this thing it says health headlines endocrinologists if you have diabetes

read this before it's removed and it's a slop photo of a hand with two like walnuts in it that are shaped like brains. This stupid shit. Fucking president sucks, man. Do you have accounts on truth social? No, you could just, I go to, I go to truthsocial. com slash at real Donald Trump to see his dumb garden. Yep, it's all there.

Oh, I'm trying to take a screenshot. It wouldn't let me. I got to get the walnuts. This is like barely a functioning website, by the way. Sorry, here's a great featured ad. Are you supporting Trump? Yes. Yes, no.

That's the ad. That's the ad. That's the ad. Oh, my God. I was going to say, this war is going to last just a few days. Till September. Till September.

We're obviously going to be talking about it quite a bit. Also, very acutely aware of just how much is happening, how much of a distraction. This is, quote, unquote, from, quote, unquote, distraction from everything else. So we're going to do our best to find a balance. Obviously, we will be talking about this quite a bit, but we'll be making some attempts to bring in other stories next week. Yeah, we're going to try to have a balance of this, but obviously this is front of mind,

and we blew up that school. We blew up that school. I keep following that. I mean, what... There should be no other scandal necessary to end this, but... No, hey, uh... Pete Hackseth specifically should be tried. I mean, obviously we've talked about that before, but like right now, like get him out of there.

What a bunch of fucking piece of shit. Maybe when we come back next week, that'll happen. That'll have happened, yeah. It'll be Sunday night, prime time, the trial of Pete Hegseth going up against the Oscars. Mm-hmm. The most American way to try someone for war crimes on Fox. Yeah. Cold hard facts.

If we give Fox the exclusive on the televising the Nuremberg 2 or whatever we call it, maybe they'll take it and we can all have a little partnership to get through this. Give Trump an award for best job at trying a guy for war crimes. Just say that. Just put that on there. He'll be like, I got the award for best job at getting the guy for the war crimes. Look at my great trophy. Look at it.

And then they'll be. We'll put up an ad. Fine. We'll put up an ad on truth social. Do you think HECS should be fired? Yes or yes. Sorry. Five hours ago.

Trump truth. Sorry, five hours ago, Trump truth socialed a screenshot of James Woods posting a screenshot of Trump's truth social from earlier today. What? I mean, it's, I can't stop. It's just a screenshot of a screenshot of the website. Laughing at how awful this is a timeline. It's so stupid.

I still can't log on to truth social to see it. Don't log on. No, don't log on. Do not log on. Don't give them here. I go to the page you've told me and it just takes me to the truth social login. Interesting.

I give up. I don't care. I don't care. You shouldn't care. You're doing the right thing. And the other right thing I'm going to do is end this program. Yeah, let's get out of here. I'm really quick.

I'm so sorry. Did you mention Cody that the screenshot of James Woods praising a Trump truth social post is from November 28th, 2025? I didn't look at the date. It says anything short of this in America is doomed. Thank God for President Trump. It's from months ago. Oh, boo, boo that man. That does make it better.

It makes you so much better. It's so funny. We all know I have to pee, right? We understand. I understand. Folks at home, you know I have to pee? It's got to happen. We got to.

Whatever. Like and subscribe. We'll be back next week. And pee love you very much. We love you very much. Much.
