In this episode we discuss the Trump -- Epstein situation. We unravel the evolution from "release the list" being a core campaign promise to Trump claiming the Epstein list is a "Democrat hoax". Will this be MAGA's final straw? We also discuss more local politics wirh a focus on NYC's Democrat mayoral candidate -- Zohran Mamdani. We discuss his ideas and their validity -- how does one make a state run grocery store chain in NYC? This episode is an ideological free for all -- enjoy!

“White Terror” usually refers to Taiwan's period of authoritarian rule under the Kuomintang. In this episode, we use White Terrors deliberately — to examine how historical repression, political memory, and nationalist narratives continue to shape East Asia today, while echoing in Western politics as well.
This week, we dive into America's favorite medical mysteries — Trump's monthly bruises, Tylenol autism theories, and the reality that the default American lifestyle is basically a preexisting condition. Our pronouns are USA, and our healthcare is unaffordable. Plus: The social media response to Charlie Kirk's tragic death (thoughts and prayers for his family and friends) -- from ordering a Mint Majesty tea with two honeys "for Charlie" from Starbucks, to the confusing Tyler Robinson case, and the MAGA meltdown over who's to blame. From Jimmy Kimmel's cancellation whiplash to protests at Windsor Castle and a Hyundai raid in Seoul, it's a full tour of political absurdity — one part health crisis, one part culture war, and all chaos.
Unfortunately, we're once again discussing tariffs, China and young men -- I'm sure you believe us when we tell you it's exhausting. Trump's "Liberation Day" was a disaster as expected -- but his base can excuse a $2 trillion dollar loss as patriotic. When the rational for any illogical Trump action is that he has to "burn it all down," it becomes impossible to talk to these people. It's become the Salem Witch Trial of anyone with an IQ higher than a cocker spaniel. A college degree only "means nothing" to someone who could never get one. This week we're over it all. My head hurts please help. Cheers to the biggest tax increase on the American people since the 1930s coming from the party of small government.
Incels, MAGAts and Billionares -- Oh my! On this more lowkey episode we discuss DEI draw back, the operations of modern billionaires and the crisis of red pill culture. Billionaires used to build beautiful things and now they build the right wing town square (Twitter). The right is monopolizing thought through the current billionare agenda of social media domination - channeling the angry energy of young men who can't get laid into MAGA momentum. Wait till they find out Project 2025 wants to make porn illegal...
