ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman are back together and open on Monday's ICE and DHS raid of Ilhan Omar's Washington home, a warrant tied to her immigration status that came with no charges and arrived right on schedule for October. Next up is Trump easing restrictions on Russian oil and diesel just before demanding Ukraine swap out Zelensky for someone more willing to deal, while drone strikes on Russian data centers appear to have taken a chunk of the right's online bot army down with them. Jared and Nick then work their way down the corruption nesting doll to its smallest figure, Kimberly Guilfoyle, the ambassador to Greece accused of asking a GOP donor to cover her $100,000 Amex bill in exchange for favors that apparently included booking him on Tucker Carlson and getting Kid Rock to sing his song. They close on the fake story, built from AI-doctored phone calls and boosted by Elon Musk, that James Talarico spent his flu in an Ohio mental hospital, a smear so flimsy even The Blaze passed on it.
