Bush Lied Better: Welcome to Iraq 2.0 (The Iran War)

About this episode

The episode discusses America's intervention in the Iran conflict, comparing it to the Iraq War and exploring various political and cultural topics.

The Bag Society crew goes live to break down America's latest Middle East intervention. In this episode, we dive deep into the Iran conflict, comparing it to the Iraq War playbook and asking why this administration skipped the part where they even pretend to have a reason. From the billion-dollar daily war costs versus PBS cuts, to Kristi Noem getting fired live on television, to the Trump administration's revolving door of loyalists, nothing is off limits. They debate who's getting fired next, why Kim Jong Un might be the most vindicated leader on Earth, and how the MAGA movement went from anti-war to full neocon mode overnight. Plus, the conversation takes a wild turn into James Bond rankings, Batman debates, conspiracy theories about AI and the Anunnaki, and why too many politicians think they're living in a movie.
