BYOB with Michael Fanone and Peter Rothpletz

We can touch quickly on Nixon game four.

Have you seen the viral meme? My mayor's Muslim, my bagels are Jewish, my Christian's Dior, Nixon four.

I guess we didn't make Nixon four.

We still can make Nixon five.

We can also talk about Graham Plattner.

Carrying the main Democratic primary race for Senate, despite a whole host of scandals, some a bit more scandalous than others, in my opinion.

And then we have Trump also tacoing yet again out of massive strikes on Iran and some reporting that he was contemplating possibly even using nuclear weapons in the country.

So, yeah, crazy news, crazy news week, crazy news era, as it always is with MAGA.

Yeah.

So

I have you got to talk to me like I'm a small child today, Peter, because I've been doing podcasts all day and I haven't watched any news.

So I have no idea what crazy ass shit Donald Trump has done in the past 10 hours.

But apparently I mean, so nuclear weapons in Iran,

it's on the table.

So he has not said that publicly.

That's been reported by a few different outlets that it was discussed behind the scenes.

But, yeah, the latest is as of last night, he said once again that the U.S. was going to launch unprecedented strikes.

on civilian infrastructure on the people of iran and then a little over just an hour or so ago he announced that nope never mind we're pulling out we're not doing that anymore so yeah i just saw the market is up some 700 800 points already because nobody ever learns with this guy it is it is the same thing every single week you know somewhere

There's a Trump associate who just pocketed like $10 million in the stock market because of Trump's bullshit rhetoric.

Yeah, it's wild.

One thing that we're going to have to do if Democrats are ever even allowed to take power again, maybe that's a separate conversation, is not only do we have to prosecute the hell out of these motherfuckers, we also need to ban Kalshi and all these other prediction markets.

Oh, yeah.

I don't know if it's one of the Trump kids or if it's just some staffer who happens to be in the right room at the right time, but somebody is just making oodles and oodles and oodles of money off of, you know, mass wanton death and destruction in Iran.

It's disgusting.

Yeah.
