PRL Podcast Episode 570: Eyepatch McCain is Gone

About this episode

The crew discusses recent US strikes on Iran and various related topics including media hypocrisy and AI deepfakes.

In this episode, the crew reunites to tackle a heavy news week, starting with the sudden and controversial US strikes on Iran. We break down the media's "fog of war" hypocrisy, the fanatical religious rhetoric being used to justify the bombings, and the veteran whose arm was broken while protesting the conflict. We also discuss Alex Stein mercilessly trolling Dan Crenshaw after his primary loss, the massive SBA loan scam behind the "Slutty Vegan" bankruptcy, and newly declassified documents linking the US government's Operation Mongoose to the spread of Lyme disease. Finally, we analyze the terrifyingly realistic rise of AI deepfakes and "virtual waifus." ----- Help out the show at PRLFans.com !!
