We interrupt our regular already-recorded podcast with the news that Senator Lindsey Graham has died at 71. We came back again in the mornin' for this one. Listen how sleepy!
We talk about his war-hawkin, "if we nominate Trump we will get destroyed and we will deserve it," the Disneyland bubble wand photo, plus even more Mitch McConnell and Kash's copy-pastin'.
Then in the second part that we recorded first:
· ICE and immigration violence — the deaths of Lorenzo Salgado and Mohammed Nazir Pateawal, National Guard shootings in Memphis, and Mark Wayne Mullin defendin' the indefensible.
· Tariffs, Iran, lost tourism money, the Big Beautiful Bill's big beautiful Medicaid and disability cuts—how much is this costing us?
· Marcia Blackburn's fortune-cookie ad
· Pete Hegseth targets Black people again, RFK's podcast features anti-vaxxer child murderers, JD Vance still awkward, Trump's Qatar jet fails the Secret Service test, Trump's still mad about the Kennedy Center
· Trump gets a bridge named after him in East Tennessee. Even Scott Bessent was at the ceremony!
· Platner's out, Epstein files locked up, the Federal Election Commission is fired
