A one-night stand would end in a courtroom. The media is here. This case has gone viral. the dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before.

Starting point is 00:02:09 wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendly Fire. That one courtesy of David Lesser. My name's Jack O'Brien. That over there is Mr. Miles. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Good to see your, the weapons you give a vassal state used against your own weapons. Yeah. A bit of trendyly fire there. A bit of trendyly fire. Yeah. Yeah, this is an interesting, like three fighter jets that are supposed to be like the best fighter jets that the U.S. has were shot. shot out of the sky is one way of putting it. Yeah. There's like video shared of it and the plane is just like falling out of the sky like a loaf of
Starting point is 00:03:02 bread. Like it's just just like kind of in a dead spin. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure there's like fighter jet experts who are like that's actually, that's actually normal for that plane getting shot down. But it just seems weird. It looks like somebody just like picked it up and dropped it out of the sky.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Right. Right. fighter jet experts are like, that actually means it's threatened. That's how it behaves when it's threatened. Be careful. Be careful. That's an F15E strike eagle. Be careful.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Be careful. That's a defense mechanism. That's a defensive posture. But three of those got shot out of the sky in Kuwait. And like the one that we've seen, at least on the New York Times, that from like, you know, a local person just being like, hey, there's a fighter jet falling out of the sky on the ground. just looks very, very strange. I feel like there's more to that story than the,
Starting point is 00:03:56 the military wants us to believe, but they just keep being like friendly fire. Yeah, it is odd when it's just sort of like, I think also because we're, we've now seen the Pentagon under Hegset's leadership for what it is. It's like it's just a big fucking goof fest. Yeah. Like when they shut down, I don't know if we talked about it, like when they shut down like the airspace near El Paso because they were like
Starting point is 00:04:17 testing some lasers and shit. Yeah. anti-dron lasers. Oh, twice even. Thank you, Brian. Yeah. Brian, the editor, is our expert on the El Paso airspace. Air lasers. It's a rare beat to
Starting point is 00:04:31 come into, that hits the Zichyce, but when it does, he's on it. You got to cover all the bases. You got to cover all the bases. Yeah, they don't seem to know what the fuck they're doing. From a broad strategic level, I'd say his war, four days in, Trump's war, not going
Starting point is 00:04:48 so well. No. Not surprisingly, this dipshit didn't have a plan heading in or his plan. Like, it seems like he was hoping that he would do a bunch of violence and the Islamic Republic would fold. Yeah. Would just be like, oh, that's scary. We don't want that anymore because that's like kind of all he could afford politically is to do a quick strike, which is like kind of his favorite way of doing things. And instead, they're doing the exact thing that they know he's hoping they wouldn't do. You know, like that, this is how, you know, I've rooted for bad sports teams,
Starting point is 00:05:30 like badly run sports teams and I'm not going to name names. But like, this is when the other team, like, can just do two things and it's like, oh, we're like. As long as they don't do these two things. As long as they play exactly into our hands. Right. But yeah, the Islamic Republic seems to be not folding. They're going to draw it out, cause American casualties, make it look bad for Trump, make it expensive, so that his only option is to either, like, continue a very unpopular, very expensive and, you know, dangerous war.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Or just do a George W. Bush victory ban or mode and like move on. But the New York Times is like saying, Iran is working to enlarge the battlefield from its own territory to the broader region. The goals are to damage oil and gas infrastructure and neighboring countries, shut the strait of Hormuz to shipping and curtail air traffic, all to disrupt the economies of the Persian Gulf and drive up global energy prices and inflation. Iran will also be trying to exhaust the number of expensive missile interceptors held by its enemies. again, like the very first, like, if you were like, okay, so let's think about this from their side. How would we fight if we were them? That, this is exactly what the first thought would be. They're like, he's a chump.
Starting point is 00:06:55 And first of, yeah, I'm like, so we're dragged into now fighting these fucks. Okay. Yeah. We can turn the, we know how to turn the heat up on many different dimensions, not just the battlefield, because also you can't discount the panic that's creeping into these other Gulf states that have been on the receiving end of like drone attacks. They're like, what the fuck is going on?
Starting point is 00:07:17 Like they're like, we thought fucking with you Americans was going to fucking protect us. It's now putting us firmly into the crosshairs. And the other thing too, like Trump, you know, I mentioned on Monday show about how this professor, Elizabeth Donahue,
Starting point is 00:07:33 who was saying like, from when she's read, like the capabilities, to sustain like all out fighting nonstop of this kind is probably going to dwindle after like two weeks. Like it's, they're gonna have to start making decisions on like if you're like, do we really got what we need? Like we don't have the horses.
Starting point is 00:07:50 We don't have the like we had last week, I don't know, I shouldn't say we. The United States military had a fucking aircraft carrier that was malfunctioning just the plunk, like at a plumbing level. Yeah. Like at a like you would have. canceled, like it was like Woodstock 99 on there.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Like they like could they just like couldn't they were backed up with shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And on top of that too, you have some of these sailors that have been deployed for like almost a year straight. Yeah. And that's that's that's that's going to fuck with morale too. And then you have this guy being like, you know, we've seen all the footage of like, you know, they're serving good food on the on the ships now. like that means like we got to fucking get dirty now. Oh.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Trump was just saying too, sorry, back to like the munitions thing. He today was like, we've got so many, we've got so many bombs. We could do this forever, which I would immediately say, no, you don't. You don't. No, you don't. Why are you saying that? Because you probably just found out you don't. So now you have to go out there and be like, oh, we can do this all fucking day if we wanted to.
Starting point is 00:09:00 And because then he pivoted, he's like, because then he does acknowledge, he's like, you know, but also Biden gave away so much of depleted our reserves giving shit away. And you're like, see, you're starting to realize you had no fucking plan. And this is the fucking nonsense. So hundreds that they said right now, the estimates are on like 700 civilians have been killed in Iran already. Yeah. Six U.S. service members are dead now because they were in like a triple wide trailer that they were told was fortified. But it took a direct hit.
Starting point is 00:09:31 and they found out very quickly it was not fortified for like an overhead attack in any way. Just a lot of, it's just again, I think emerging more and more that this guy is out of his mind. He has getting the worst information from people.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Out of his depths. Getting bad information. Yeah. And just yeah, like I was saying before we start recording, like my sons play chess and there's this thing that like young, young inexperienced chess players do
Starting point is 00:09:57 called hope chess where you like sort of just, are playing against an opponent and like hoping they'll do exactly what you want them to do. You know? Right. Like you said a very specific trap. Yeah, a very specific trap that's like if they go there, I'm winning.
Starting point is 00:10:14 However, you're failing because you are a child or you know, you're new to chess, you're failing to be like, well, they're not going to go there because they're also playing chess. They know. They understand the game. They know what the rules are too. And so they're not going to do the exact thing that you want them to do. But that feels like what we're seeing with Donald Trump. Like he is a child playing chess for the first time and doing things that will only work
Starting point is 00:10:44 if his opponents do exactly what he wants them to do. And they won't because why would they? You just attack them. And there have been plenty of examples even outside of like straight warfare where people have been like, what if we just don't do the thing that he thinks we're going to do? And he fucking folds. He's like, fuck, why that was going to happen? Right.
Starting point is 00:11:04 To your point, his whole whole strategy is like, you're like in the cartoons and someone to set up a trap was just like a box with a stick propping it up and the stick has a rope under it. And it's like, it's like setting that shit up with like a sign that says, there's free money under this box. And you're like, usually works in cartoons. Yeah. And that's the left.
Starting point is 00:11:22 If they walk into it, bro, we got them. It's like, wait, hold on. They're kicking the box over. What the fuck? Oh, well, now I'm fucked. They saw there's no money. under there. It's just really it's so fucking dangerous.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And every day, I feel like more and more, I see more and more people write that same thing about like, well, yeah, you got 11 and 12 year olds fucking running wild with this nation's military. And it's not going to end up good. No. Seems bad, Miles. Seems
Starting point is 00:11:50 bad. Yeah, yeah. I think, I mean, because, yeah, you're, he's just pumped thinking all the time. And not that even saying like, you should have fully committed to war. It's like, no. You just, this was never the solution that was going to do fucking anything except for, you know, maybe help all the people whispering dumb shit into your ear. Like his own generals are like, dude, this is going to be, this can cause severe casualties for the U.S. if we fucking, we fuck around with this shit.
Starting point is 00:12:17 And then he said, early, he's like, they told me it would be very easy to win. Maybe one person told you that. But a hundred people told you that it wouldn't be. But he just, he just like, you know, you've seen. him go up and give a speech and it's just clear that he's working with whatever the last thing he heard is or the thing that he most wanted to hear was exactly you know like Israel's been trying to get the US to do this for a long time and like the worst people in the history of US leadership have wanted to do it for a long time and stopped yeah not done it up to this
Starting point is 00:12:55 point because there are so many reasons that this is a bad idea. Yeah. And he didn't have the ability to stop because he doesn't have like the mental faculties. He needed a distraction and, you know, he recognizes that a role probably in the long term enrich him and other, you know, billionaires. But yeah, seems bad. Seems bad because it is bad, Jack. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Your instincts are right. this. My, my heartbreaks for the people of Iran specifically. Like this is fucking everywhere now. It's fucking Lebanon. It's like Lebanese people are like fleeing to Syria. Dude, displacement is so fucked
Starting point is 00:13:39 up man and just even if you think you have to fucking leave everything behind. That's a fucked up experience to go through. So yeah, I, I don't know again because for Trump, he's such a coward. it all he needs is some kind of optics win.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Right. And I don't know if the people are telling him or they're trying to formulate a fake victory that he can take home to put in his mind so he can go to bed at night. In his mind palace? Yeah. But I don't know. Donald Trump Mind Palace. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:14:14 What does that look like? A bunch of McDonald's, empty McDonald's bags and shit around. Let's take a quick break. We'll come right back. Ready for a different take on Formula One? look no further than no grip, a new podcast tackling the culture of motor racing's most coveted series. Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F-1, including the astrology of the current grid. Lewis Hamilton, Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. Wouldn't you know it,
Starting point is 00:14:45 Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. The story of the sports most consequential driver strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better, and plenty of other mishapsed scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, gumster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast.
Starting point is 00:15:32 This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun. Tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Tremaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Germain was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity.
Starting point is 00:16:01 The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm J. Chetty, host of the on-purpose podcast.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I'm joined by Luke Combs, award-winning country music artist, and one of the most authentic voices in music today. Luke opens up about success, self-doubt, mental health, and what it really takes to stay true to who you are when your life changes overnight. I hate fame, I hate the word celebrity, I hate those words, that you make me uncomfortable. But I think when you get to a certain point,
Starting point is 00:16:51 the fame or the success or the influence, It just accentuates and exacerbates the inherent person that you are. The guy that says he's always going to be there and that will do anything to be there is the only guy that's not there. I'm in Australia when Beau is born. My whole identity is that no matter what, I'm going to prioritize my wife and my children. Over my job. I dread the conversation with my son.
Starting point is 00:17:17 What do you think you'd say? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty on the IHeart Radio app. or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Leppie.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, Doubt the case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lettby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Listen to Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And let's talk Christy Knoem because she, it was her turn to get grilled by Congress. Yeah. And how to go for her? I mean, right now she's getting smoke from both sides.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Both? Both sides? Okay. A, Senator Blumenthal made her acknowledge American citizens that her goons illegally arrested and even shot. Specifically, Mar-Mar Martinez, who was shot five times in Chicago in that fucking insane raid. Yeah, that they like made a propaganda documentary about to make it look like fucking the movie Predator. Yeah, yeah, exactly. He then was like, just so you know, Miss Nome.
Starting point is 00:19:23 One of your goons after he shot this woman posted this, and this went up on social media. Do you care to just comment on this? This is him being like, you want to just hear what this fucking guy said after he shot an American citizen five times? I fired five rounds, and she had seven holes. Put that in your book, boys. And quote, cool, I'm up for another round of F, a round and find. out. The thing that you guys were...
Starting point is 00:19:56 Would you join me in condemning that agent? Sir, that situation, I don't know the details of, but I will look into that. I don't know why you can't join me in saying it was wrong to shoot Miramar, almost caused her death, and then brag about it. Wouldn't you agree with me that it was wrong? Sir, the way that you have portrayed it, it appears to be, but I love to be. appears to be, but let me look into the case so I can speak to the specifics of it.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Coward answer. Also, like, I don't know the specifics of the case. You don't know the specifics of this fucking case that everyone else does? I just have a fuck out of here. I actually can't read. Is what my defense is based on? I mean,
Starting point is 00:20:43 I feel like logic would imply that maybe that's where we're headed. Senator, I cannot see right now. I don't I can't see shit right now, Senator. They come in on the floor of Congress. They're just like, just rubbing their eyes. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:21:06 Oh, what the fuck? I can't see shit, Senator. I don't know. That's all you got. Yeah. And then when they ask you something, be like, what? What? I can't.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Oh, what the fuck? Now my ears? Fuck. My ears stick like shit. somebody's fucking with me yeah somebody's fucking with you um and you know there's a lot of people just like holding her account being like hey you want to look at this video what do you think of this shit this is fucked huh and she's like oh i don't know what i'm actually seeing um even senator kennedy
Starting point is 00:21:36 uh who's a just a racist ass cab was somehow not using his time to just fawn over her goons activities he's like the southern guy right the yeah he's from louisiana louisiana louisiana a accident. Oh yeah. And he just like, we'll say it. Sounds like he's been hitting the head. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He's, he's hearing Tweety Birds all the time. And look, he held her feet to the fire for a number of things.
Starting point is 00:22:02 He was like, you're spending 200, like, just wasting millions of dollars for like name recognition ads. Like, what the fuck is this? Then he also held her feet to the fire over her characterization of Alex Preddy. If you remember right after he was murdered, she was like, oh, you know, it's, it was a domestic terrorist. And it was like, what the fuck? And if you remember, she walked that shit back because that weekend, everyone was like,
Starting point is 00:22:24 this is crazy what the fuck you're saying. Are you for real right now? Why is he bringing that up, though? Because if you're, she then, she was like, oh, everything I said was at the behest of Stephen Miller. If you remember, that was a thing. Everything I've done has been at the direction of the president of Stephen. The bigger Nazi. Half just defending the Nazi, but also being like, like, what the fuck is this?
Starting point is 00:22:50 I mean, that's, that's kind of what's going on, but still. Just smelling blood in the water. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to have a time with her. Yeah. He's just like rehashing the fallout from her calling Alex Prattie a domestic terrorist. And then, but this is, but he's like, but what caught my attention was you coming after my fellow third Reich admire? Oh.
Starting point is 00:23:13 What got my attention was that you, you. you blame those statements on Mr. Stephen Miller at the White House. Oh, shit. No, sir, I did not. And in fact, where you're seeing that is in a news article of anonymous sources. And anonymous sources say a lot of things.
Starting point is 00:23:33 But it is, I've never said that at all. Well, here's what you said on the record. I'm going to read your words. Quote, everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen. Sir, where did you see me say that at? You read that in a news article.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Where did you read that? In a news article on Axios? Right. Where they actually had a quote attributed to me? Is that where you read that? Is that where you heard that? What the fuck are you talking about? You get this petty-ass infighting.
Starting point is 00:24:09 As they're like starting a war, like potentially World War III. They have like, Stephen Miller has, his favorite senator go up and be like, make sure you hold her feet to the fire about her being mean to me. Yeah, exactly. Stephen said that? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I don't think so. Maybe you should. Maybe you should apologize for everything and not Stephen. It's, I mean, yeah. So everyone's kind of getting their licks in, I'm sure with midterms coming up, they maybe want to show they're like, I asked a kind of hard question. It was mostly to defend Stephen Miller, but I asked a hard question. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Tom Tillis called her leadership a disaster and told her to resign. All right, man. Way to do it on your way out. You're retiring, you fucking coward. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, man. I mean, I'll take it. It is funny. And do we, I mean, do we have a sense that there is also a little bit more of a
Starting point is 00:25:04 willingness now that Trump, like, now that this administration is so profoundly unpopular? Like, do we feel like people are now getting a little courage? I mean, the brand, the brand is not. The brand as the opposite of what Deezus and Merrill used to say, the brand is not strong. Yeah. Right now. And it's going worse and worse.
Starting point is 00:25:26 And I think we see constantly, everyone who isn't talking directly to Donald Trump, they're talking about the midterms going, what the fuck are we going to fucking do? Dude. Yeah. I'm getting my, my ass kick polling wise. Nobody wants anything to do with me. And we've got no fucking direction. So I'm sure on some level people are like, fuck it,
Starting point is 00:25:47 if I got to figure out how I'm going to stay relevant and be like a politician, maybe begin to differentiate, but this is still firmly his party. And I think, you know, I think a lot of people entered with that sort of zombie gaze in their eyes
Starting point is 00:26:02 and are still zombies, but they're like half sentient. And they're like, what are we? Whatever. Huh? Uh, uh,
Starting point is 00:26:11 no. Speaking of the midterms primary, day is upon us. Yeah, it's kicked off. North Carolina, Arkansas, Texas. North Carolina. If you're in those states, probably don't do mail-in ballots. I've been reading for Texas, like, for Texas, like maybe hand that shit in.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Because it's going to be, you know, there's, they like, they like to fuck around. But Texas, for sure, I think is, has a lot of attention because it's a huge race for Democrats between James Tala Rico and Congresswoman Jasmine. Crocket. Because there's an actual chance that they pick down. Yeah, they're both. They're both. Both. Both strong candidates in terms of how they're performing in Texas. And Crocket was leading a lot of polls, but over the weekend, the Emerson poll, which a lot of people put the weight in, put Tala Rico ahead. Again, they're both strong
Starting point is 00:27:06 candidates. Some, a lot of people, not some people, many people have pointed to their records on Israel and try to make a differentiation, a differentiation between the two, but from reading their campaign materials, they're both, they're both, both firmly and the Israel can defend itself, but it shouldn't be killing Palestinians, question mark, right?
Starting point is 00:27:27 Question mark. Sort of posture, not the best. But many on the internet have said Crockett takes A PAC money. That's just, that's actually true. She's taken trips to Israel. And she's, you know, said things like,
Starting point is 00:27:40 you know, they should be able to defend themselves. Talarico also said similar things. I think it's a fair criticism. I think a fair criticism of her votes is that she has materially supported Israel, like with defense spending and things like that. Even if she says, well, those votes are an omnibus bills, right? Yeah, larger things. And there were good things in it for Palestinians, too.
Starting point is 00:28:02 It's like, well, hold on. You got to keep it 100. Like either you're doing this shit or you're not. And the vote indicates you're doing this shit in terms of material support for Israel. But they're both in this camp, right? Yeah. Like also with Tala Rico, like they, you know, they, they said is a, so he, like, he's supporting Israel because, you know, in a previous race, he took money from a pack that was funded
Starting point is 00:28:27 by Miriam Adelson, who is, again, huge fundraiser and pro-Israeli, you know, a political donor through her, like, casino business for her husband, her late husband. but that pact that gave to him technically it was nothing to do with Israel. It was focused on her gambling business because they were trying to bring more gambling into Texas and he took that money. So sure.
Starting point is 00:28:51 But he's also wishy-washy on Gaza. Like he'll condemn the actions of the Israeli government won't call it a genocide, but his words still treat Israel's defense as sort of a de facto part of American foreign policy, which I'm like, that ain't, that's not great either. Right. So they're both like sort of,
Starting point is 00:29:10 center-right candidates in that very specific regard in terms of Palestine and Israel. There are other policies are pretty forward-facing progressive. So I think like a lot of people talk about the electability argument. It's just a little, I think it's a- candidate is a white guy. Yeah. That's the electability argument. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:29:32 And I'm like, like, I don't, I get that people are racist, but just being like, well, Black people can't win races if there's white people there is, dude, that that's so defeatist. The electability argument on Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama. Right. These are the things people will tell you. Right. And again, like, even with that postmortem that the DNC did of Kamala's campaign, they're like, there's a lot to do with like the Gaza stuff. And a lot of people were just sort of quick to be like, it was racism.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Yeah, there's that too. But I don't think it's fair to be like, well, Jasmine Crockett, it's not good because she's not as electable. She's eliminated. She's been eliminated. She's a white man. I'm not, I'm not fucking with that.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Because she also does like, you know, you look at the support that she was getting in early polls. Like she was getting a lot of support from like rural voters in Texas. So there's a lot there to be like, I don't know, these, both of these people are,
Starting point is 00:30:30 they're running strong campaigns. But we shall see what happens. Who will take on, you know, either John Cornyn or Ken. Paxton. Yeah. They're also fighting to be who can be the worst fucker in the race, actually.
Starting point is 00:30:44 That's, but yeah. So that's also happening today. And the polling suggests that things are so bad for Republicans that this might actually be a race. Like I know we've done this in the past where we're like, Texas might even be in play and then it never is. But like this seems like the time when it's actually. Yeah, because also it's like one of those things where numerically Democrats are outnumbered,
Starting point is 00:31:08 but enthusiasm is so low with Republicans. That can really be a huge benefit. And I think at the end of the day, it's like, are you trying to, like, is Jasmine Crockett turning out just more of the base and being like, let's get as much Democratic enthusiasm going? Tala Rico, they're like, well, he can bring in the white Christian people. And that's more of a model like,
Starting point is 00:31:29 can he bring in people who aren't traditionally voting with the Democratic Party? And so those are sort of two visions of what, you know, people think, you know, the party should be doing. It's almost good that we have a primary, you know? Yeah, yeah. Cool that you have that. Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Yeah, primaries tend to be a cool part of the Democratic process.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Mm-hmm. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday, March 3rd. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself. Get your vaccines while you still can. Get your flu shots.
