The gang discuss election fraud claims in California, a pogrom targeting immigrants in Northern Ireland, DOJ investigations into healthcare for trans youth, new denaturalization cases against 17 people, and Greg Bovino’s potential 2028 presidential run.
NOTE: Regrettably this episode contained factual errors and omissions: Rwanda was colonized by Germany and Belgium, not Great Britain. The pogroms we mentioned occurred in Northern Ireland, not the Republic of Ireland.Sources:
