About this episode

The episode discusses the Senate's decision on arms sales to Israel amidst a temporary ceasefire in Lebanon and features commentary on political figures.

The Senate blocks a Democratic effort to halt arms sales to Israel, even as Israel agrees to slow its assault in Lebanon for ten days amid mounting international pressure. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth draws ridicule after quoting a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction, while Tucker Carlson explains Donald Trump's real religion.
