Description

The gang is back together, and the U.S. and Iran are back at war...maybe? Tim, Sarah, and JVL discuss the latest in Iran, Donald Trump storming off of Meet the Press, the 'stolen election' freakout in Los Angeles, Todd Blanche's nomination as Attorney General, and JVL's Triad about former DHS commander Greg Bovino (kinda sorta maybe) eyeing a presidential run. Plus: Graham Platner, Lindsey Graham's primary in South Carolina, and the gang reacts to a completely wild AI-generated ad of...James Talarico in a dress? Finally, Tim debriefs on his interview with a Silicon Valley vibes-whisperer. Read JVL's Triad, here.

Imagine of the $29 billion dollars had been spent on our schools, roads, foster youth, health campaigns, and more.

The "your" thing really bothered me too. Does he not think of himself as an American? That would explain a lot. His decions often seem like that of someone acting like a foreign agent.

The only mistake Kristen made was not standing up and saying “Mr President, with all due respect, you work for me and the people of the United States, & it is my job to ask you,the President, challenging questions & for you to answer. It is unfortunate that this constitutional responsibility makes you so uncomfortable.”

Can you imagine paying $1000+, and Trump makes you spend 2 hours getting through security? It must have been infuriating!

Hahaha - Sarah to Tim during Quince ad: "You shut up". I just love the workplace you've created and that you all keep each other (and us) sane and jovial during these stupid, stupid times.
