I Don't Speak German

Daniel and Jack are delighted to welcome back - after far too long an absence - the brilliant Amanda Rogers (AKA MsEntropy). We pick Amanda's brains in a conversation about the complexities of the concept of terrorism, its relationship to national states, citizenship, and fascism, with special relevance to America in the grip of Trump, MAGA, and their apparatchiks. Amanda touches on recent events including the ICE / Border Patrol incursions, the under-reported Prarieland trial of protestors, and most especially the horribly topical issue of the US-Israeli military attack upon Iran. Content Warnings, as ever.

Kick off! Daniel & Jack discuss Elijah Schaefer's recent troubles, TDS showing up in the Epstein Files, and - mainly - Megyn Kelly's appearance on Piers Morgan's show to deliver an unhinged racist rant about Bad Bunny doing the Superbowl Half-Time Show.

We look at Megyn Kelly's sickening and ludicrous (and instantly infamous) apologia for Jeffrey Epstein in the wake of the dump of Epstein emails, and follow the thread from her, via Richard Hanania's deranged tweets about how it's normal for adult men to fancy minors, and Alan Dershowitz's seemingly eternal dedication to having Jeffrey Epstein's back, all the way back to a 2017 meeting between Epstein and Steve Bannon (et al), as related by Michael Wolff in a book, published in 2021, that contains many things now being treated as revelations by the media... Oh what a tangled web we weave... Gigantic and terrible content warnings.
