Been waiting for this xx

George Mitri

Tomorrow morning’s listening, on the ‘ol Eastern Seaboard of Australia.

GB

Sing it like Barbara Ann 🎶

Zak K

The rebranded neocon right in shock and awe as they find out the guy who has been foaming at the mouth to topple Iran for over a decade... bombs Iran. Also, Max Blumenthal hit the nail on the head with this: the MAGA movement is a political tactic to get mostly apolitical right wing men back into neoconservatism.

Quinn

This show is the only reason I keep myself alive

Nick Austin

Australia out here being the perfect lap dog selves for the cause too, a crumb of backbone from national representatives or just a lick of sovereignty would be lovely

Mungo Franczak

This episode will be out of date in probably like 5 minutes

Jes

Hi chat hi brace hi Liz hi YC

John Lemieux

I’m pretty sure the B2s sent from Whitman AFB were not the ones that did the strike. I think they hit it with the B2s that were on Diego Garcia. Why fly twice as far?

Noah

Trueanon needs a deterrent nuclear weapon NOW

malfeasance

Holden Bloodfeasts of the world eatin good this year

bruce

bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb iran

Scout

i just tonight started reading peter dale scotts 'road to 9/11' and its crazy how was the truth Out There way back in '07... and yet here we are still today..... feelin the expansionist agenda of AIPAC and the pro-arab oil lobby. anyway excited to listen to this ep!!

Doug Cartel

Trump did his brilliant 5D chess move of saying one thing, doing the opposite, and then going 'maybe I will maybe I won't!' the Iranians would go crazy pulling the missiles out then putting them away over and over because they'd be like 'dman he changed his mind again, guess we gotta fuel the missiles!'

Peanut Horse

Not noticing much of anybody giving Pete hegseth his props for keeping this whole thing under wraps. Lots of people get loose lips once that whiskey gets to pouring, but not our patriot Pete 🇺🇸

Doug Cartel

I would hope Iran is ready for a war of attrition because they e been preparing for this for 20 years. However I think Russia and China are pushing for a ceasefire so they can bring Iran under their protection via staging nukes.

Rackstein

Hella weird how that all played out. For my own sanity i havent looked into the timeline but still

John Lemieux

My suspicion is that the Whitman planes were a distraction to a) make it seem like this decision wasn’t made months ago and b) keep the mainstream media from talking about Diego Garcia

Doug Cartel

JD Vance definitely never saw combat because an Iraqi sniper would have seen his gigantic head from a mile away

Mungo Franczak

Brace, I have to disagree with you on what the catalyst of 2020 was. Even before Solemani’s assassination, I vividly remember Papa John giving his first interview after being cancelled years prior, in the days/weeks leading up to 2020. In the interview, PJ says a “day of reckoning is coming”. When pressed by the interviewer, he just kept saying “you will see.” This has lived in the back of my mind for 5 and a half years and I do 1000% believe PJ let a bat loose in Wuhan or whatever the narrative is

Doug Cartel

If Iran wants a nuke why don't they just buy one from russia

i shyr

I built the third temple in my back yard. life-sized Jenga blocks, FKA US Steel beams. Filled it with red cows and you’reanium. HOA told me temple too high, must tear down. They don’t know that all these red heffas are also my personal attorneys and we’re suing. The temple is glowing, probably from god and not all the radioactive material inside (which is actually fake radioactive material I’m using as a prop to intimidate the HOA)

Noah

They should pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and hire Nazi scientists to make one like everyone else

Theodred

"Every country should have a nuke " Belden theory of international relations is undefeated

Mango Bolsonaro

“Operation midnight hammer” sounds like the name of a shitty nsbm record

Josh Watkins

Rob Darken will never retire

K H

If I was Iran, puttin my little Iran cap on. My head thing they wear over there. I'd make Israel unlivable for this. No electricity, no water. Wouldn't touch any US bases. If the US made moves to attack again you basically have to attack the bases. To have any hope of a favorable diplomatic outcome, Iran would need to actually invade Israel. Not sure how they get over there, because they don't have an airforce to compete with Israel. I guess they could try to coordinate with Lebanon and Yemen? If Israel is willing to let things ride it will continue and there would not be a huge difference between getting nuked and having the US explode all infrastructure in the country for 40 years.

Vincent

I don't want to defend Vance at all. But his face was really interesting during the speech and I do think he probably is on the Tucker side of the maga debate.

AKDetroit

I hope Mersham and Bersham are safe.

Esther McMahon

YC’s “Walz for bashar” joke is killing me

K H

Iran supposedly evacuated the facilities and secured material beforehand.

K H

Crazy to just be pissing your pants for 2 days. One of those guys at least for sure took a dump.

Axel H.

It’s okay Brace, when I first heard “MIGA”, I thought of Migos too 😆

K8

They’ve been dropping Truth Bombs for years

Clee McCracken

I’m p sure one of the village people endorsed Trump lol

HonestEd

I was feeling really smug about braces bit on guys who like tulsi until he said anti-war veterans lol

Caladan Kid

Hasn’t he been sort of left out of this

The Fine Art Revolution

So refreshing to have podcasters meet for an emergency update episode after historic political developments, rather than release part IV of Tulsa King...

Sean

the tulsi demographic is mostly GWOT veterans who feel ripped off but think democrats are gay

K H

Yea, remember the terrorist shift hospital calendar? That is the kind of documents they got in their raid. Literally everything Israel says is a lie. Not figuratively, literally. Also Liz's "what?" just melts my heart. Cleanest centrist jihadist world class hater fashionista out there.

John Lemieux

FACT CHECK: when you do a screenshot on iOS, you can choose the option for only what is visible or the “full page” if there’s text larger than your screen, for example a web page. So that’s probably how the huckabee screenshot was captured

Danny

We need an episode where Liz calmly explains the definition, origins, and effects of the petrodollar system to us like we are 10 years old

Joseph Boyle

I liked your Migos joke, Brace

gatito

i think the issue is they lack the capability, and when/if they had the capability they were operating as a sane/rational actor, something that apparently doesn’t work against rabid genocidal ethnofascists

gatito

in any just scenario, israel would be rendered completely unlivable, everything between haifa and tel aviv would be turned into glass, and everyone but the most insane hardliners willing to going with the ship would be forced to move back to new jersey or moscow or whatever

Jess

they don't hate em enough to do that, Israel will have to be destroyed by the neo Ottomans

Tom Clarke

What do you make of the theory that the MOP is actually incapable of doing serious damage to Fordow and therefore either the US is lying about the level of damage or lying about the type of bomb used?

John Lemieux

I don’t think we have enough info publicly to know but the Iranians are saying the facility was not that badly damaged and if that’s true they might show proof at some point

Tom Clarke

No it was a giant phone

NYCM&AHole

The boonker busters were deboonked.

ERIC

Global Hegemony 101 series would be great

Trebor

Pete Leaked

Claire Simon

Tulsi is a satanic freak but I do have to bonk myself over the head with a mallet every time I see a pic of her

K H

Ayatolla is a good poster. Which did surprise me.

Chas Padunski

The pleasure of saying “Pahkistahn” is matched only by pronouncing the country “Keen-yuh.”

Brian Ward

I hope the next pod will be a brace special focusing on the bezos wedding and those massive honkers

John Lemieux

I definitely don’t think the uranium was there (which makes sense since there was no reported radiation spikes) but I think it’s an open question if the facility is “destroyed” or even significantly damaged.

pizzapope

hello my name is Buster Bünker

Planned Obsolescence

I’m 10 minutes into this, Liz says maybe a retaliatory attack on the US base in Qatar. 20 minutes ago as of this comment, the news broke that they just did exactly that. Wild.

Isaac

Like Tucker he has no power

Roy Muyinza

"...maybe even Qatar. It's right there." - Liz

Keanu

And Iran just bombed US bases in the area. Shit.

Roy Muyinza

Correct also on the "symbolic" retaliation point, now that Iran has claimed they launched the same number of missiles as the U.S.

Ash

i think Iran definitely wants to provoke a US invasion

K H

I think morally and strategically you would want people to be able to live on the land(Palestinians) again. I think you're right in that Iran waited too long. Should have joined when Hezbollah was still fighting. It's the mass shooter victim mindset. Everyone wants to stay still and hope they pass by and someone else deals with it. Meanwhile they keep reloading and each person only fights back when they're already being shot rather than all at once. I guess that is really just prisoners dilemma actually from a warped American perspective. Anyway, shit sucks. Sun Tzu ain't helping. I guess Iran chose to hit US bases, so hopefully Trump backs off when he sees US soldiers will in fact be killed if this continues. I'm not optimistic. There were talks with Russia so hopefully they are in possession of good ground to air defenses, but even so...yea. Iran really needs to just wipe every critical infrastructure off of Israel before another US attack. People only respect strength, that is the only law.

Nick A

just dropping appreciation for YC's Walz with Bashar gag great film

Ry Faraola

Am I the only one who felt like Huckabees Text to Trump was extremely thirsty and horny?!

Instantdumbass

“U.S. citizens should own Nukes” Tim pool three years ago

Fun fact, Operation Midnight Hammer was named after Paul Pelosi

Without Christ, man, they in fact do not go hard.

Yeah I feel like it was definitely typed with one hand u get me...

Jacob Makes

Brace’s Crusade on Ketamine continues

Hardcore Virgin

Making a lame joke and blaming it on having to turn the ac off and being hot is why i subscribe

DarylBarenziah

Dude brace your almost there with the Netanyahu imitation you just have to lean into racial Jake denouncing someone you have to get really defensive all the time as if everything you stand for, your career, your family, your life was on the line.

DarylBarenziah

It low key has to get a little Schumer if you know what I mean |<——————————>|

Garfield Compton

Whistle blowers aren’t philosophers, but that level of bravery should be enviable for a guy who is afraid to buy a gun. Love you, miss you 💜

Natalie

Listening from London where our criminal government just announced they’re gonna proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group – definitely also feeling insane and hopeless and like these freaks are just relishing tearing up the rule book in front of us – and I am very glad this podcast exists

Natalie

Side note on the subject of the RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus: one satisfying consequence of Palestine Action’s targeting RAF aircraft is that it forced the BBC to admit, for the first time, the fact that Starmer has been sending spy planes to surveil Gaza

Egg B

JD Vance has never been anything other than a bell boy for the rich. He’s never truly belonged, he’s not one of them, he’s only in because he’s white and complains about it. At the end of the day, he’s like so many of us: from lower middle class families but maybe managed to get ahead. Now, he’s amounted to nothing more than running errands. Pitiful.

OG Cracker Barrel

Never seen/ probably never will see a TA live show, but does Liz do clown stuff on stage? If so I may reconsider.

OG Cracker Barrel

I know this ep is about major geopolitical events, but this is also a comedy pod and Liz said she is a ‘physical comedienne’

Joey

“pause” -Yung Chomsky

oo __

wawa weewhoa personified honestly.

Tristan

You guys need to install a mini split. Quiet and efficient ac

Timothy Buttons

"I do not try to get in your presence" sounds like a girl apologizing to her abusive boyfriend

DarylBarenziah

So what it is Team: is that, you feel crazy because we have technologically progressed societally to endorse technocratic oligarch backed autocrats that run 21st century materially medieval mafia states that subjugate the world through corporate feudal parallels and it is now in this last few years become normalized and integrated with mainstream political thought, theatre and actors. I too feel insane but it’s just 14-17th century politik baby. Josef Stalin said capitalism would advance to socialism he was wrong it will regress back into feudalism instead to address its contradictions, or maybe we got China to come in I dunno frankly im feeling like a Frankish peasant in fucking ALSACE, though we be Germanic cause the wouldn’t sell me a quoissant in pareee

DarylBarenziah

Aka medieval mafia states perpetuated terrorism on each other for evah and evah until global trade

🤷🏼‍♀️

You guys are describing Dune as you talk about the modernization of warfare as mass produced intelligence/terror ops. If Iran (and other countries) gets a nuke then we're going to see militaries fighting with knives/sticks like India/China border fights

fasd asdfa

Liz calling Village People YMCA killed me

Eli Jennings

I pray the ayatollah is listening and following braces plan beat for beat

Mark Owen

War is Over! Thank you for your attention to this matter. God bless the entire world until the Mahdi returns.

elle

the wrap up was spot on: this shit's fkt up and somebody needs to stop it

Pelican Grief

Remake of Brian DePalma's Snake Eyes with Liz's Village People assassination idea instead of a boxing match

Marcus

A WALZ FOR BASHAR

Wawaweewa

The reviews are also the funniest thing I’ve read in a while

Marcus

I hate it here

Shiv

omg I DO remember the SHRUB on BUSH St signs #throwback

D.Jay Oakes-Munro

Operation Midnight Hammer sounds like a bad porn paperback.

Lulu

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Special Adeline

The Migos joke landed for me #WeGotYourBackBrace

Zac

Arguably the biggest loser in an administration chock full of pathetic, stupid men

Thom Main

My dawg you are tweaking out the AC noise is not noticeable

J98

Ooooooo I hoppppppe they donttttt

Big Problem

Iran is about to find out why we don’t have healthcare 😎 *crashes f35 directly into the Zagros Mountains*

kiran

when liz mentioned jd vance's massive pores and brace said that peter thiel could probably fist his pores i literally screamed out loud

Eric

So basically it’d be cool as shit and there’s no downsides?

wailing ken jennings

there should be a raffle for how many nukes Israel has. The nukes should be placed in a giant glass container and you get to guess based on eyballing it.

Sara

I think to do the Netanyahu accent you need to channel Schwarzenegger and huff sulfur hexafluoride

Antipaganda

I still don't know why she's allowed to be in the x-men

Bennett

Kim Stanley Robinson might be a cool guest to have. Chapo did. But he’s also a mega informed author and his books are prescient in the age of “immediacy”.

gayscience

Irans erection at 9:10 got me lmaooo

Mr. 200

Rewound that bit twice

Max

I think “everybody is doing what they want” is a wrong analysis, because most countries are still doing everything the USA/Israel wants, most of the middle-east, the entirety of Europe and all the other usual US proxies. We are just finally seeing long lasting tensions finally result in action, as the US Empire shows some cracks, but its order is still lasting.

Major Pisano

Did anyone catch Liz and her chemtrail guy quip? Liz? I’m here, you can talk frankly, we wouldn’t shoot down plains ?! We just like watching and talking about the stuff that comes out of them. We’re not crazy, Liz. Fyi.

Major Pisano

Also. You know The Ayatollah should learn forward. Subtle lean. And two fingers grab his glasses. .. Ceasefire? “So what?” Schumer Those Israelis.

T Sur

Does the discovery of antimony in march have anything to do with things?

Kyle Palmer

This is really putting a damper on Hip-hop Rabbi Summer :'( Yoyo-simi-YO-yo-yo huuuuuuuuuhh

G

It’s an open secret that Saudi Arabia has nukes and there is convincing evidence that they used tactical nukes in Yemen. Same for Israel recently in Syria. Speaking of Soulemani’s assassination kicking off 2020, if we’re done pretending that covid just magically appeared one day in a dirty Chinese “wet market” that just happens to be next door to a coronavirus research institute handling contracts for the US, it’s worth asking why some of the first people to die from the virus outside of China were members of the Iranian government…at least 17 Iranian politicians and officials died of covid before March 25, 2020, including an Ayatollah, two ambassadors, a founding member of the IRGC, and multiple senior IRGC commanders. You can just do stuff

Dylan Hensley

YC buried that Obamna in the mix

Eric Johnson

Need to give it up for that “Waltz With Bashir” pun. Very under-appreciated in the moment haha. What a movie nerd. Loved it. 🫡

Alexandria

Lean In! Girlboss out!

Rooti Tooti Giuliani

A 24 hour stock market would be such a powerful tool in moderating schizophrenic politicos

Chapo Bath House

If Adams were president, he could just go out there with an Iran FIFA jersey, tell a confusing story where he seemingly claims to have grown up in both Tehran and Tel Aviv, and everything would be solved. He and Trump should just switch jobs

Zzz

Liz: “the greatest cluster of military production now is happening in Russia and China and all of that is thanks to the Ukrainian war which shifted that massive base”

John Lemieux

Looks like the DIA did a BDA and ruled (drumroll)….FAILURE to destroy core components of the Iranian nuclear program

Jack Anderson

It's interesting that when discussing Ukraine's actions during the US/Russia negotiations that Liz refers to them as a 'third party'. Do you not think that the fact they were a third party to negotiations around their own invasion was part of the problem?

Emmett

can’t stop thinking about how brace says “bünker buster”

fioe06 t

At around 22 minutes Liz hits on a very important point about Vance's base. Vance supporters are the remnants of the tea party movement: college educated white white collared workers who worked in office parks in the suburbs and whose jobs were off shored overseas.

G

On Yemen in 2015, check out analysis from Jeff Smith at IAEA. Pravda also ran a piece on it. Hans Benjamin Braun at ETF Zurich has a lot of work on the December 2024 Israeli strike on Tartus Syria

William Akins

Audio went out right at the hour mark and never came back 😔

G

It feels tin foil hat to talk about but they’re becoming necessary as the ruling class becomes more aggressive and psychotic in pursuit of its goals. I think that this ep gives good context on China and Russia and why they’re acting the way they are wrt long term dynamics. Remember that China scolded Ansarallah for its actions in the Red Sea and Russia basically just gave up Syria

Tranche Devereaux

The world has enough guns and Big Firearm has enough money. You’re brave enough to NOT buy a gun. I’m same.

Michael S. Judge

When I've tried to come up with some analogy for killing Soleimani – like Iran said, what are they gonna do, kill Spongebob? – the closest I've gotten is "Imagine if Iran assassinated John Cena"

Arielle Curtin

Love you guys as always. Thank you Liz for “look at a map.” Clarifies all geopolitics. Yes, World is being run by a bunch of mid crazy people.

Salex

Talking about cutting those big wads of cash - The original Taking of Pelham One Two Three has a great sequence featuring all the old money counting machines and bank clerks bundling up a million dollars. Super satisfying

ResilientBastard

“Lo! Behold, a fellow brinksman!” [tips hat]

Matt Jolo

Bond vigilante, the guys trying to bring James Bond to justice for all the murders he's committed

Matt Macnab

My mom claims that she's anti- bombing, but whenever we e talk about it, she just brings up how awful Iran is to their women.

Michelle R. Miller

Mystified as to why so many people think Vance is “intelligent”. He’s not—he’s just manipulative. He just happens to be better-spoken about it.

Agave Maria

Liz hit the nail on the head with the Tulsi type. When Tulsi came into prominence I met a kid who joined our environmental canvass who was a libertarian for Tulsi. He was a 16 year old Indian kid named Raif who thought he knew everything 🤣

Dr. Ron Jambo

The U in Bunker is as in "put", not as in "poop".

Chapo Bath House

The hit man/hit on man mix em up in the Armenian night clubs is a great b plot

Chapo Bath House

Fair point, but this got my hopes up that Queeber was back talking Stallone.

Lanabanana

I was going to say what about that American Sniper guy but he got domed by some other vet didn't he

sne

you’re saying pakistan right :3

Natalie

Great ep y'all - bc of this podcast I literally think about Tim kaine in the membrane every few weeks and laugh
