About this episode
The episode discusses the NRA's criticism of the administration regarding the Alex Pretti murder and other political issues including misinformation from DHS and environmental recovery in the Yangtze River.
Troubling mobilization around Iran. The NRA and other pro-gun groups criticize administration officials on public statements about Alex Pretti murder. DHS lies about detainees. And the Yangtze River is rebounding after a fishing ban. https://www.them.us/story/story/work-stress-gay-says-malaysian-official https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/us/politics/us-military-iran.html https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/us/politics/trump-iran-military-strikes.html https://apnews.com/article/andrew-mountbatten-windsor-arrest-king-charles-61ea3c437680b8341e623e4d9efa47b8 https://www.pennlive.com/entertainment/2026/02/kid-rocks-song-about-loving-underage-girls-resurfaces-ahead-of-tpusa-super-bowl-show.html https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/19/trump-administration-memo-ice-dhs-refugees-screening https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/25/alex-pretti-killing-nra-pro-gun-groups https://www.reuters.com/world/irs-improperly-disclosed-confidential-immigrant-tax-data-dhs-washington-post-2026-02-11/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2026/02/18/robert-f-kennedy-jr-kid-rock-ice-bath/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/09/irish-man-seamus-culleton-ice-detention…
