Summary

The hosts discuss ICE enforcement actions in Minneapolis, including the shooting death of Renee Good and subsequent federal cover-up attempts, alongside broader Trump administration policies on Greenland acquisition, Iran protests, and deteriorating relationships with NATO allies.

Insights
  • Federal prosecutors resigned en masse rather than investigate innocent parties, signaling the DOJ has crossed ethical lines that even career officials won't tolerate
  • ICE recruitment crisis is forcing the agency to hire unqualified personnel with trauma histories, creating dangerous field conditions and accountability gaps
  • Trump's foreign policy lacks coherence—simultaneously supporting Iranian protesters while enabling Gaza casualties and antagonizing NATO allies over century-old doctrine
  • Democratic special election performance suggests voter anger transcends typical midterm patterns, contradicting bot-driven suppression narratives about election cancellation
  • Existing post-WWII military agreements already grant the US full operational control over Greenland without ownership, making Trump's acquisition push economically and strategically redundant
Trends
Authoritarian personnel culture in federal law enforcement normalizing violence and misogyny as acceptable operational behaviorCoordinated disinformation campaigns using bot networks to suppress voter turnout by falsely claiming elections won't occurResurgence of Monroe Doctrine rhetoric as justification for Western Hemisphere dominance, echoing pre-civil war isolationism in modern contextCollapse of traditional alliance structures as US administration prioritizes transactional relationships over NATO commitmentsMass protest movements in authoritarian regimes (Iran) creating power vacuums that US policy is unprepared to navigate coherentlyCrypto-enabled corruption by public officials (Eric Adams meme coin) revealing new vectors for financial misconductInternet shutdown tactics by authoritarian governments to suppress casualty reporting and protest coordination visibility

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Findout podcast. Originally we thought we had a guest today and we had a little bit of scheduling snafu. So we're going to wing it today guys. You've got Tim, Luke and Rich. We're just going to the triumphant trio. We are going to provide maximum entertainment value for you today. Talking about all the stupid shit that Donald Trump and the Trump administration is doing right now. And I think we obviously have to start with the biggest story still from last week, which is the ice murder of Renee Good and the subsequent cover up that seems to be happening around this case. There's also been some other horrible video footage of a woman yesterday just trying to go to a doctor's office who got ripped out of her car after they smashed her window, cut her seatbelt and dragged her out because reasons, I guess. But this is what's happening and the Justice Department has also said that they're going to send even more law enforcement federal agents into Minneapolis because you know, it's going so well so far. And it seems like everyone in Minneapolis is really happy with ice agents just running around grabbing people and essentially beating the shit out of them. You know, this is fun guys. This is sort of the stuff that we talked about. You know, when you say Republicans, if you don't want to be called fascists, don't do fascist shit, this seems kind of fascist. This fits the bill. Yeah. These are the things I wake up in like 5 a.m. And just start thinking about every morning and my heart goes through the roof and adrenaline goes up and then after like 45 minutes of thinking, wow, this is this is a this is America right now. Then maybe I can fall back asleep. So this is probably really healthy for everyone in America long term, I think. This is why when I go to bed reading horror novels, they're not what keep me up. Absolutely. I think the most deranged things that I'm watching, you know, whether it's like stranger things or we watch like a task, those are the best ways to detach because I'm I'm like fully immersed in this parallel universe. It's just something else to be free. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, we've talked a little bit about it last week, but like generally speaking, you know, when there is a shooting of law enforcement, there tends to be an investigation into what happened. And right now the Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who's been on the show before, is trying to launch an investigation along with Governor Wells, Wells governor, Wells, excuse me. And the federal government is not, you know, as as everyone on the right keeps saying, just comply, the federal government is not complying and they are not they are not participating in any of these investigations. They just want this to go away. Classic. Well, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, a fear, but not this time. Now, I think the fact that that all of these prosecutors resigned and then those are the same prosecutors that are investigating fraud in Minnesota is probably the most Trump thing I've ever seen, the most the most pambondi DOJ where there were actual crimes being committed by some all these citizens of the United States. Like they they were on a thread that was a thread that justice should pursue, right? It's a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny group of people about 50 or 60 out of 110,000 population in Minnesota, but they did find criminals in, well, Minnesota investigators found criminals. But the DOJ was pursuing them and now all of the people who were running that operation are gone because they tried to force them to do something that was not within the scope of normal justice investigation. So now we're getting fucked for the wrong reason and also for another wrong reason that it didn't have to be part of any of this. Yeah, and I think for those of you who don't know, yesterday it was reported that there were three prosecutors that resigned, essentially, and protested. It turns out that it is six. It is, as Rich said, the entire investigation team into this fraud in Minneapolis or in Minnesota in general, and, you know, just to also be clear, there were other people besides Somali Americans involved in this as well. Yeah, well, he was on the top. Yeah, I can see the right at the top of this whole thing. But the, but the justice, justice department has basically said they were asking them to investigate Renee Good's widow, widowed wife for, I don't know, they didn't say un-American. They didn't go full. They didn't go full like 1950s red scare stuff, but they got pretty close. They got pretty close. And I think these people were like, why would we investigate this woman who was it even there? Or was she there? Was she in the passenger seat? She was walking around. She was around. Yeah, she was walking around filming and Renee was driving with the dog in the car. And then she was, we saw her in separate videos, too, after she died and was just, you know, despondent on the sidewalk. Right. I mean, these are like people who drove, they moved there from Colorado as my understanding, not that long ago. So they had no community in Minnesota. They were just looking to, you know, join the community, be part of it. And so, I mean, this tells us everything we need to know. Like, were they secretly evil leftists who were doing illegal things? Like, obviously not. Or six prosecutors from the justice department wouldn't have just said, like, no, there's no evidence. We're not even going to do this to the point where we're going to resign if you try to force us to investigate this. Like, that's how, that's how people who were still working under Pambondi now said, this is the line that was crossed. And there have already been like 100 lines that have been crossed in the past. So that's, that's exactly how utterly deranged Pambondi's justice department is. Well, it's, it's pretty telling that they were more interested in investigating the, the wife of this murdered Renee Good. It's instead of, instead of, yeah, instead of the ice agent, you know, the ice agent who we have now seen after he shot her three times. What did he call her? A fucking bitch. That was his response after shooting her three times twice of which, which has been proven now through the side window, which, you know, for any rational sane person will tell you that person was, that officer was in no danger whatsoever. And that's where they need to be able to do geometry to be able to figure that out though. You can also just use your eyes. They cover the bullet. So like, oh, oh, it was wanted. Like, you know, oh, oh, oh, yeah. I mean, I think these guys do think that there's some sort of cowboys like out on the western range, right? Like it five four needle dicked fucking high school jocks. Yes. Three hundred and thirty pounds and couldn't run a mile if they had to. I mean, imagine shooting some right. First of all, just imagine shooting somebody. I mean, the horror of doing something like that, you know, I just don't know how you shake it. But your first reaction after shooting somebody three times in the face is to call her a fucking bitch. Like, yeah, what is, what are we doing? Like, you're, you're dunking on a woman in a Honda pilot after you have won. Like, he won. He won. He's the one walking away while still holding his camera. It's classic abuser shit. Yeah. Yes. And it's next book. She's driving into her, you know, her vehicle with her body and it is driving into a tree. And he, and he said, not just fucking bitch, but fucking bitch. And living in a red state with Republican men my entire life, I have heard that exact phrase it said in that exact way, probably a hundred thousand times in my life. And I posted a video about this in every single person in the comments, literally all the women in the comments said, every woman I know has heard that and felt that in their bones. Yeah. Because, because of how triggering that fucking bitch was, nothing is an accident. But I don't think he intended to say it that way on camera. But the fact that they didn't mute that part or clip that part before JD Vance goes and retweets the fucking video, like that's, that's them telling on themselves. They have that lack of awareness that they don't understand that fucking bitch after you shoot someone in the face might be taken poorly by the general public. Or is it, is it a lack of self awareness or is it just not giving a shit? Because I would argue these people have been trained their entire lives to put women down that there's nothing wrong with it. Like to say, I mean, I'm from a blueish state and I've heard that, that term, many, many times. Just got to find a Republican man, honestly. Right. I mean, you know, and, but like, I just don't think they think that's a big deal. I think that's just their culture. I think that's how they, it's very normal. It's like back in the 90s, as you've talked about, Rich, like when people use the F word to disparage somebody, including us, like, you know, when we were kids, because we didn't know any better. But these are adults doing this. And it just shows the response online has been fucking sickening. Yeah, I've been, I've been making a list of people that I've verified that they're real people. And that when I have spare time, I'll be ruining their fucking shit for this. Because my Facebook is ridiculous. I mean, we got, I've been keeping a list. Here's a face for comments or something else to do. Any of these arselers that are throwing shit fits, even though that psycho was rightly taken out by the ice agent. Apparently, all these liberals are absolutely blind and don't understand facts that are right in their face. Just shut the fuck up already. What facts? And then we got another one. We got Eddie Powell. And just to think poof, democratic liberals are blaming the shooter and not the firearm. Another blank, blank down. And both of those are slurs. Wait, that we blamed the gun, not the shooter. Now we're blaming the shooter and not the gun. Because up until now, apparently, we blame the gun and not the shooter. Like it, I mean, you know, the wrong. We're like, I know. I mean, yes, the gun did cause the death. But like, so did the ice agent. Like pulling the trigger three times while he had a cell phone in his other hand. Like that's like the thing we've been saying about not giving guns to unqualified fucking idiots. Right. Is exactly what we've been saying. Well, and the scary thing about this guy was he was trained and he still did this. Like he has been an ice agent for 10 years. And then other people were like, well, well, yeah. And I mean, some people have defended him by saying, well, he got dragged by a car last year. And my answer to that is then he should, if that was still a factor in how he was doing his job, he shouldn't be been on the, in the field in the first place. Like that's not like, oh, sorry, he has trauma. So tough shit. Like they didn't, they didn't think through that because it's like, they're, they're trying to flood the streets. They got the quotas and the surge and they're trying to add 10,000 more people like this. Because it's just exposing how stretched they already are or that they just don't care to put, to put guns in the hands of people who maybe have PTSD, have unresolved trauma. Right. You can't perform in the field legally. And you're giving them a gun anyway and you're putting them in charge and letting them go out there and then you're defending them afterward. I mean, I think that tells us everything we need to know. But if he, if he is triggered by a vehicle driving by his foot, I would say he definitely should not be carrying a weapon or on the clock. Yeah. Well, not to mention, if you talk to law enforcement officers who have shot people in the line of duty, justifiably shot them because their lives were in danger. They will tell you how horrific most of them will tell you how horrific that is. And what a like awful, awful thing that they then carry with them for the rest of their lives, right? Because taking someone's life is the ultimate like finality or final act. And so most normal law enforcement officers struggle mightily after they do this, this guy was just like fucking bitch. Like what are like these are the people on on our streets right now. But and it's like it's not just this guy. It's thousands of them. I mean, we saw there was a video after the shooting, which another woman recorded where an ice officer walked up to her and said, didn't you learn from that shooting? The last couple of days. The last couple of days. Well, haven't you learned from the last couple of days, which is just a like he's threatening her life. And he's a lot, he's a lot federal law enforcement. Like I don't know. I mean, obviously there is a group of people who are defending this, but I do feel like there are more and more people who are like, this is pretty fucked up. So I'm fucked here. You know, this is a real problem. And we need to do something about it. But like it is a window into the sort of right wing bro culture, right? Where these guys are just like, yeah, you could shoot women. Who gives a shit? Like they, you know, but when I go ahead rich. No, I was going to add because it is part of a broader theme. And I don't know how this missed my radar. But it came up after the Minneapolis shooting. But something similar happened just back in November. There was a Border Patrol supervisor. This is on ABC News. Was involved in a shooting. I don't have all the details. So I'm not going to characterize what happened. But in the investigation, texts from the Border Patrol agent came out. And he said, he was bragging about it afterward. And he said, I fired five rounds and she had seven holes. Put that in your book, boys. Jesus, he texted that to other Border Patrol people. And after the texts came out, the, the, DHS, I suppose, and the Justice Department, they settled immediately because more texts were going to come out. And so they just made it go away. And this was, this was before this. This was a, this was a couple of months ago. And anyway, that's so this isn't just a one off thing. They're just doing a better job where they did a better job of, of hiding things up until now. So like, is this part of their culture? Yes, absolutely. Well, there's no, like they've lowered the bar on who qualifies to be an ice agent because they can't get enough qualified people because most decent normal human beings want absolutely nothing to do with this. Like I see a lot of people asking, I would love to know how many Jan Sixers are actually just found out that the fucking leader of the proud boys is one. Do you see that? I, so I saw something before I came on, I wasn't able to confirm it, but I did see someone had a list. They did in the leak. He's in that list of leak dice agents that just came out. That's like the biggest leak of all time from a DHS. Oh, that one. So, so for those you don't know, the proud boys are a, a racist, right wing white supremacy group who were actively involved in January 6th. They were there. I think that guy didn't that guy go to jail? Well, they all got pardoned, right? They all got parted. So it didn't, if it's the guy that's turning up in my quick search, 22 years in prison and then he was pardoned. Sentence to 22 years of sentence to 22 years. And now is potentially a nice agent if that's the right person. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, yeah, it's, it's truly awful. And you know, people are asking like, what they can do. And obviously your safety is the number one priority here. But like, I think the thing that, you know, most people have been saying is stay calm if you're in those situations and film everything. Don't antagonize. Do not, do not make any threatening moves. Just stay calm and record because if, imagine if there was no videotape of this, of the murder, like you would like have the country wouldn't believe it because they didn't see it. Yeah, they've already said they would, but yeah. Right. I don't believe it when it's in front of them. They, we wouldn't even probably know that it happened unless we like read a Facebook post about it. Right. Right. Well, it's the same thing that's happened with, you know, police brutality over the last 10, 15 years. Things have changed and they are most police officers have to wear body cam footage now or cameras now because there were so many cell phone, you know, of the air garner, the man in South Carolina was running away and the cop like blasted him with like three shots in the back. There's like a whole bunch of them, you know, even in Minneapolis, right, with George Floyd. Nobody would have said anything about the, I mean, outside of the community. If there wasn't footage of that fucking asshole putting his knee on his neck for like 10 minutes. So, you know, the recording thing is the most important, but just be safe out there, folks, because it is a, it's illegal. It's not, they're lying. It's not. And actually, may I, M. Donnie actually put out a video yesterday or today, giving like for New Yorkers in particular, but like telling people their rights. I would love for board Democrats to be doing this too is to getting this information out to people because you can record and they cannot search your home without a warrant, but they are legally allowed to lie to you. So you have to catch them in a lie and he actually in the video showed a sample warrant that a lot of times they'll wave a sample and say, this is the document. So you need to look and you need to be very, very careful. And, but it's, it is a scary, it is a scary situation. So, and, and then speaking of us, just lighting things on fire, this is a terrible pivot, but Donald Trump is now ramping up his efforts to acquire Greenland. Greenland. Like I think they'll invade it. Yeah. Kill all the seals or whatever. They have said that all options are on the table. Trump said that it is NATO is more secure with Greenland being part of the United States than Denmark, which I don't understand because it is a cooperative pact that if one is attacked, they all are attacked. I'm not sure he understands what NATO is. Nope. To be honest, I don't think he gets it. But yeah, so we are now waging wars with our allies to the point where I think Germany, the United Kingdom and France put out a joint statement like last week, basically saying knock it off, which they never do to us because they are our allies and don't usually need to. So we're just going to like the world on fire as well. Well, is he going to be friends with North Korea and like is he going to align with the Axis powers, the evil people and betray all of our allies? But then he just like now he's you know, he's he bombed Iran and he decapitated Venezuela leadership. And now he's also going after NATO. It's almost like he's trying to create the worst possible version of the world where I don't know like a strong man authoritarian can thrive or something like that. I don't know. It's just theories here. Well, I think he I think he looks at carving up the world with Vladimir Putin and with with China with G and because you hear all of this like western hemisphere dominance language. The Monroe doctrine. Like what? Yeah, the Monroe doctrine, which is how old at this point to 200 years? I did some research on this. The Monroe doctrine, yeah, it's early 1800s. So it is like pre-civil war. We had fewer than 10 million people lived in the United States when there was a Monroe doctrine. I think we had 20 ships in our navy. 20, 20, 20, 20. And I think all of them floated. We had 5,000 people. We didn't go to space back then. We didn't have space lasers. Or the or the or the space force or the space force. I know all know. You know, we thought we were locally unprepared. I think that we thought that the Sun still came that went around the earth back. We had 5,000 people in the army. And you know, President Monroe goes and says, we own the western hemisphere, which what like it's objectively stupid, because what is the western hemisphere? It's like we're on a ball of rock and water. You just look at it in outer space. There's no left and right. There's no western and eastern. It's completely manufactured. But he's so he says, you know, we own the whole western hemisphere as long as you guys stay out. Turns out there were some things in like the mid 1900s that caused some issues with the whole like you stay out of our shit. We stay out of your shit like World War One, World War Two, the Korean War, Vietnam, or the Gulf War. You know, and then I mean 9-11 and War and Iraq. There have been a couple of things over the past 150 years that have, you know, painted that maybe as a as a poor approach to running the world. But Stephen Miller read about it probably in a you know, on a website or like on Twitter. And so now it's our new thing again, the Monroe doctor. Same same place that Christy Known read about that you take one of ours. We take all of yours. Really delightful. Well, and have you guys seen the some of the social graphics that the they've been trying to stop Aganda? Well, the home is the Eridie department, Twitter feed. Yeah, it's like our home will be our soon again. It's like from from who? With like a white what does like a white comic book character with like yep Republican hair holding like seven white babies standing in front of a farm. Yeah, I mean any of this. Well, no, it also but like people have found very similar statements from what party in Germany back in the 30s and 40s. I don't know. I'm one of them. One of them. Yeah, one of the bad ones. The language is very similar. I mean, like there's there's too many of these at this point for it to be a coincidence. Right. Like it's just like they're just it's not even a foghorn at this point. It's just like who they are. You know, it's who they've always been. They're just right. Well, I know. Well, and I think they still think that they're that they have power forever that, you know, they're not going to suffer any consequences in November of this year, which I think is a grave mistake. And this is part of the reason why they keep flooding with bots telling, you know, liberals, progressive Democrats that they're not going to be an elections this year. Because it's part of their efforts to suppress the vote because there are going to be elections this year. And anybody who tells you that there are not is either ill informed or lying to you. The states control those. The federal government does not. Now, Trump has talked about, you know, seizing voting machines and stuff, which we should take seriously. But, you know, there were also a lot of threats about the 2025 election in California and in New Jersey and that ended up not really being anything. So the Wisconsin Supreme Court election that was like peak, peak, um, doge and peak Elon Musk. And they lost by 10 like we're still winning all of the November elections, the special elections. The Louisiana's Republican Secretary of State already has said, well, we're going to use the old voting map because the Supreme Court hasn't decided quickly enough on this, um, on this case that might allow them to redistrict and get an extra seat. And so they're proceeding with the old map. Like even the Republican secretaries of state are planning for elections and they're planning actually like for them to be relatively fair. What Trump and his people are screaming about on the internet is a different thing. But turns out the founders were geniuses and completely icing out the president in all things elections because Trump has tried to do everything he possibly can. Yeah. It's not working and he won't do it. And I think he also doesn't, he doesn't have an ally in John Thune, you know, he would need the Senate to lie down. He's got Mike Johnson to lie down. Yeah. But Mike Johnson barely has the house with resignations and then the California representative who died unexpectedly. Two. He's and it's an election year. So they have to be present to vote. And so he essentially like the house essentially is not going to do anything this year. And so you know, Trump, Trump has very few levers left. And if the Supreme Court rules against him on a couple of big cases, then he won't have his tariffs left either. And like he's just, he's got almost nothing, which is why he's bombing other countries. Like that's the Louisiana, the Louisiana thing's great news because we had, we had Congressman fields on the show a few months ago because this was a serious problem. And it was his district. He is a, he's a black man who represents a primarily black district of which they were trying to of course strip and give both to Steve Scalisi who has spoken in front of the KKK or white supremacists before. And Mike Johnson. So basically they would have no voice. So that's, I didn't know that. That's good news. And fields is a great guy and I'm really, really happy to hear that. But yes, that's why we are, we are bombing other countries and everything and trying to distract. So yeah, but, but I do think like there were some special elections yesterday because we're recording on Wednesday all over performances for Democrats. I don't think there's been an election since November 2024 that Democrats didn't over perform. And it's because people are angry. Yep, very, very angry about what's happening. I mean, there's a reason why Donald Trump's numbers are sitting in the mid 30s because people are tired of it. And like he is doing probably the worst job of anybody that we've had in 200 years. I mean, I think we can say worse president ever at this point. I mean, absolutely. I'm happily saying worse president. My, my alum James Buchanan from Dickinson College is always, our only president and is always in the bottom. So I'm glad for him to be replaced because I mean, we still are creating on the president. But yeah, you just got a little bit better. Yeah. You know, the, I don't want to gloss over Greenland too quickly though because yeah, there are so many layers here with national security and with the economics. And, and that's the part that's really truly insane. Washington Post had this like, they were the only ones who covered it and it just kind of went away. But they covered it a couple of weeks ago and the solfers came up. And essentially, we already have an agreement from post-war, post-World War II from the 50s with Denmark that says that we can do anything we want militarily on Greenland already. We don't even need permission. They said we would love a heads up. But in the actual law, the hand, like the agreement that they, that they came to, we can build a base. We can regulate ships coming and going from Greenland. We can regulate flights coming and going from Greenland. We can regulate every single thing that comes or goes from Greenland as well as build bases anywhere we want, do whatever we want, put ships and put airplanes there. We don't even need to give them a heads up in advance. We just need to let them know at some point that it was a thing that we did. So we could already build, right? An entire, you know, we could build cities worth of military infrastructure without needing anything. And so then it's like, well, why is he keeps saying, well, we know we have to own it. We have to own it. So then you look at the mineral stuff. And yes, there is estimated four to five trillion dollars worth of minerals, including things like gas and oil, but also a lot of rare earth minerals on Greenland. But the problem is, of course, only about 10% of it is accessible right now. And there's another problem that he won't care about, but that I do. And that's that if Greenland's ice sheet completely melted, it would raise the ocean by 24 feet. Yep. So going out and sending mining and gas and oil exploration to just bore through the ice sheets to not a good idea of shit for laser guided missiles. But don't worry, genius. The people, people whose homes are flooded, they'll just move absolutely 24 feet. Well, 24 feet is there would be no coastal cities. No coastal cities. But you guys, that was only like 10 feet. Oh, yeah. Well, Florida would be gone. So 24 feet. Florida would probably you might have just sold me with that there Tim. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, my home. Let's let him do half of it. And then Mar-a-Lago will be underwater. And then we'll say no more. Yeah, I was just saying, I, I big into York City, like we're pretty close to the ocean. So I would, I would be underwater as well. So I'd like to avoid that. Also, like, I don't want the, the world to be on fire literally on fire, but compared to figuratively on fire. Well, no, the rising ocean will put all the fires out. Oh, that's true. So, and then if you live in Tulsa, you'll have beach run property. Right, right? So there you go. Maybe you'll have it on both sides because we can plant wheat in the mineral fields in, in, in the middle of Greenland. Oh, it'll be. I mean, I'm not seeing a lot of issues with this. Honestly, now that we talk through it, um, yeah, we get rid of Trump. We get rid of it's funny. It's funny. Florida. I saw a video which is funny and sad, but like, somebody was like, you know, the Trump administration has made me completely lose my panic around climate change. It's replaced it with this because I mean, this is more of me. You have to let a couple of generations for, for climate change to be a real problem. So, yeah, well, not probably in our lifetime, but, you know, um, but moving to like to our, our final topic of the day, which I don't think we're going to talk about too much because there's still a lot of information that needs to come out about this. But a lot of people haven't really been talking about this. And this is the protest in Iran. Yep. And the, uh, you know, they, they've had these over the years. But this one feels pretty big. Uh, to the point where actually the German chancellor, the other day, said that the Iranian regime is in its like last weeks, which feels incredibly optimistic to me. Uh, and then there's been horrific, uh, uh, uh, reports of the Iranian government, just mowing down protesters with the estimates of like two to ten, 15,000 or something like that. Yeah, five thousand was the three thousand in New York times. I saw five thousand this morning. I mean, it's probably 50, um, but, you know, you don't get these counts very quickly when it's blocked down the internet. Yeah, you can actually, there's a, there's a, there's a image that people have been posting about the internet, uh, uh, activity in Iran. And then when the government turned it off, it just plummets straight into the ground. So they know there are a lot of trouble. The people don't have not liked that regime for a very long time. Um, but there, uh, there was at the Iranian National Guard or the, I can't remember what they, they go by is like their, their forces are lethal and ruthless. And so, you know, it, it would take a lot. Now, Donald Trump has said we stand with the, the protesters, but, and we will, did he threaten them again, I think, with bombing, but not sure how that would be helpful. We evacuated non person, non essential personnel in, in Qatar as well. You know, it's like, is it saber rattling? Or are we going to have operation midnight thunder or whatever that fucking midnight hammer? The most like operation flesh hammer. Operation flesh. We could anything be more absurd. But so, like, it's probably going to be something like that. But, you know, what's going to happen afterward and, and I've been reading like, there's a huge coalition that's just completely fractured in Iran, a coalition of opposition. There are strongest like de facto leaders, a descendant, um, from a Shah from the 80s. Yeah. And he lives in the United States though. But like, he's giving them something to rally around. But, you know, so I don't know what's going to happen next, honestly. But I do find it peculiar and notable that when, uh, Palestinians and, and Gaza are being exterminated, um, you know, by the tens of thousands, he's like, well, there's beachfront property we can develop. Um, but when it's, you know, when it's protesters in Iran, suddenly he's siding with the protesters in Iran and also still not the protesters in Minnesota. It's almost as if there is no coherent foreign policy whatsoever. Or any policy for anything. That's unfair. Don't be up there. Well, I'm hoping that we're going to have, we're going to, we're trying to get a guess to talk more in depth about this because I don't think the, the American media has really talked a lot about this. And I think it's actually a really important thing for people to understand and having a liberated Iran would be a massive victory for both the Iranians, but the world also. So, um, hopefully we'll have the ones, uh, making the decisions for their own country. Yes. Yes. I don't think installing just a puppet is a very good idea, but like, you know, I also do not trust this administration to manage this effectively because they all just want to be cowboys and yeah, we're about to stir them. They are about doing things right. That's true. That's true. They are, they are. By the way, so you know, crypto, this is totally aside. So you guys see that Eric Adams, after he left the mayor's office, launched a meme coin that when he launched it, it immediately lost 80% of his value in like the matter of minutes or something like that. I think I've been to a better guy. And then somebody was, and then somebody was, they caught, there was a video of somebody yelling at him at an airport, uh, basically calling him a piece of shit because he is. And he literally looked at the woman goes, go fuck yourself. Like, what a guy? What a guy? See, Democrats, we can criticize ourselves. Like that guy, he's mostly a Republican, but like that guy's the worst. He's endorsed by Trump, right? So, or no, did Trump endorse Cuomo or at? No, well, he endorsed, he pardoned Adams, right? They dropped the investigation. Right. I think, uh, they basically forced them to drop it. Although there are more Adams people got arrested than the last week on other corruption stuff because it was just a cesspool. So, you get the key. Anyway, well, you know, I think we did pretty well here, guys, getting through 35 minutes when we were like, usually have a guest or were prepped. And we just kind of winged it today, but I think we did, we did all right. Luke, I don't suppose you got to get fucked for anybody, for everybody. Oh, shit. I should have asked you at the beginning. You should have, um, not off the top of my head. I don't have one. I mean, I think, I think a response to Trump's middle finger to that, you know, classic responses get fucked to fuck you, but I don't know. Yeah, a lot of fucks in there. Fuck me. No, fuck you. Fuck me. Fuck you. Well, speaking of get fucked, there is merchandise in the store that has get fucked. And the proceeds are going to go to feeding America, right? Every piece of merch you buy feeds to 100 people. Yeah. So, um, even if you don't want to wear it, you own it, if you buy it, 100 people get fed, uh, plus all our other merch. Actually, this might be the first time that one of us, not one of us has been wearing merch since we, uh, I don't know if you've got anything under that, uh, purple hoodie of yours there, rich, uh, just my, just my get fucked underwear. Hmm. Oh, is that like a, we don't sell those. Is that what I'm saying? That's a off, uh, I come with a lube installed or what? I just use this sharpie. Oh, God. Okay.

Um, so we're going to have that on Monday and we got some other guests coming up that I think you'll be excited to hear from, including the one that, uh, he had a breaking news thing that he had to go jump on this morning, which I'm still curious what that was, um, because every time my phone dings, I'm like, Oh, God, what disaster has happened now?
