Hi. On today's episode, Akilah Hughes joins Katy, Cody, and Jonathan to talk about Donald Trump's decision on Iran, which is apparently happening in the next two weeks. They also discuss Tucker Carlson's contentious podcast episode with Ted Cruz, the Supreme Court's discriminatory ruling on laws banning gender-affirming care, and how the GOP wants to sell off America's public lands for oil drilling.

Here's the "portrait" of Trump we're referring to in the second half of the episode: https://x.com/jeffmason1/status/1935381453010850056

Here's a graphic representation of federal land that the GOP wants to sell: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=821970f0212d46d7aa854718aac42310

Is there a video version?

Violet Sandberg

It sounds like there's an ad playing over the podcast around the 28 minute mark

Think we're getting a layered ad at 28:23 covering up the convo

Vicki

Audio is messed up in a few spots.

Linden Soroka

Near 28:30 is it just my phone or is there a weird overlap in audio where Cody's doing like an ad-read?

Pete Barry

As much as the ad read glitch at 28:00 should be fixed, it is the most amazing Cody audio experience. It sounds like Cody-1 wildly plugging Pluto TV while Cody-2 yells "NO I'M NOT NO I'M NOT" at himself.

Audio version is fixed. Video will be updated shortly. Thank you!

I think the Ted vs Tucker clash is a little more sinister though. Ted Cruz isn't MAGA, he just adopted it (even after Trump called his wife ugly, which makes him a big ol' bootlicker), but the neo-con in him still thinks a good old-fashioned war in the Middle East is what keeps the world spinning. Tucker and the rest of MAGA are not anti-war, they're just way more focused on fighting "communists, socialists and leftists" inside the US, establishing a fascist dictatorship against "homegrown" enemies. I think this is why MTG, Tucker and Charlie Kirk don't want a war with Iran. They want the troops at home, fighting in LA instead of - god forbid - uniting all Americans against a foreign enemy.

I just wanted to leave a note here to say that it is great that you invite guests like Akilah, she brings her own perspective and knowledge and her sense of humor about the world.

Haven't listened to the podcast yet, but to chime in on the subject: In the run-up to the Gulf War starting in Fall of 2002, *Pat Buchanan* was the leading "America First"/ "paleocon" type to loudly oppose W's & the neocons' adventurism abroad. His supporters tried to elbow their way into the antiwar coalition we were building at the time. We told them to kick rocks. We Are Not The Same And no, you absolutely *do not* have to hand it to them.

It doesn't like, matter, but I wanted to say that "discreet" means unobtrusive, but "discrete" means distinct or separate. So to use Akilah's example, black Americans would be a discrete group that face discrimination, but the fact that they are black and the racism they face isn't usually discreet
