Norman Polmar. The Death of the USS Thresher

Episode 261 - The USS Thresher

Will, Felix and Amber pick up a few stories we missed last week, including Tim Scott girlfriend reveal (and campaign end), and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s father/son porn monitoring. We then look at a litany of increasingly absurd bungles and PR disasters from the Israeli government, all from just the last week.

Israel Heads to The Hague for Genocide

2024 is off to a great start.  New Epstein documents drop, Mike Flynn tweets that #PizzagateIsReal, and kraft retailer Etsy is being accused of selling ‘bespoke children’ on their marketplace.  It’s a throwback QAA-style ep where Julian, Jake, and Travis begin to unravel at the realization that they’re about to relive 2016 for the seventh year in a row.  Is Etsy really engaged in human trafficking?  Is Pizzagate actually real?  Are there still unanswered questions about the Epstein scandal?  No, no, and yes.

Episode 262:  Etsy, Pizzagate, Epstein

In this public News Brief, we react to the media spin around the ICJ's genocide ruling against Israel and how framing by the NYT and BBC seeks to uphold the logic of the so called "war" creating said genocide.

News Brief: The ICJ Ruling and the Essentialness of Squishy Western Liberal Support for Genocide

We talk to labor attorney Seth Goldstein (@SethGoldstein13) about the Supreme Court's looming repeal of the NLRA (National Labor Relations Act). But first, some digging Jake did on the founder of OnlyFans plus more war in the Middle East.

404 // Showgirls (1995)

On February 25, active duty U.S. Airman Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in protest of the war on Gaza. He screamed “Free Palestine” as he burned. His heroic act has shown the profound shift in U.S. consciousness against Israel’s war on Palestine, and inspired even greater resistance.

Brian Becker is joined by Mike Prysner, a veteran, anti-war activist, producer of The Empire Files & host of the podcast "Eyes Left.”
