To Russia, With Hate

**Episode Summary:** This week’s “Who Said It” is a message to Ukraine that is equal parts hype speech and battle cry — and once you hear who said it, you’re going to want to put it on a motivational poster immediately. Tesla drops heading into the Roadster reveal tonight — a car that requires a $50,000 commitment before they’ll even tell you the price. Elon promised excitement but not success, which is either deeply honest or deeply concerning depending on how much you just wired. SpaceX keeps sliding and a French competitor just got a very interesting bump that we think tells you something about where Ukraine’s loyalties may be headed. The energy ceasefire lasted exactly as long as it took Russia to hit another power plant — and the retaliation that followed involved some very satisfying footage out of Rostov and Ryazan. But the week took a darker turn when Starshield got throttled in a way that grounded Ukraine’s fastest drones right in the middle of active operations. We walk through exactly what that means on the battlefield, how Musk clarified his own role in it, and what it says that the order came from the top. Kash Patel showed up in Moscow this week and tweeted something that we are going to read out loud very slowly. Kushkof met with European delegates in Miami and floated a proposal involving frozen Russian assets that is so brazen we had to read it twice to make sure we understood it correctly. Peskov gave Zelensky a compliment. We explain why that is the Diddy cameo of diplomatic signals. The White House press secretary may or may not have passed the bar exam — she was asked which state, said China, and the rest is a very weird Google rabbit hole that we went down so you don’t have to. Jerry Seinfeld had a rough night in Chicago and handled a protester in a way that his own show’s character would have done better. Shane Gillis may have been doing guerilla marketing on SNL and we’ll let you decide how you feel about that. And we close with Taco Bell ascending to its rightful place — because KFC just switched from Pepsi to Coke, the last logical argument against Taco Bell’s supremacy has crumbled, and we are living in historic times. Got feedback? We want to hear it.
