Tulsi Gets Grilled, Joe Kent Quits, and Bibi’s “Punch Card” Goes Viral (Iran War Chaos)
Dan and Corey riff through vacation disasters and then dive into the Iran war, arguing it’s distracting from the Epstein files while also hitting Americans harder through gas prices and inflation fears. They focus on Joe Kent’s high-profile resignation as National Counter-Terrorism Center director, praising his anti-war stance while noting ongoing “ball-washing” of Trump and predicting media character assassination. They blast Tulsi Gabbard’s testimony to Sen. Jon Ossoff for refusing to answer whether the intelligence community assessed an “imminent” Iranian nuclear threat, calling it evasive and a betrayal of her anti–regime change image. The episode also mocks pro-war narrative shifts, critiques Israel’s influence and AIPAC-style shell groups, reacts to a Netanyahu–Huckabee “punch card” video, and slams Trump adviser Kevin Hassett for saying the war may mostly just hurt consumers.
