YSGOAT News: May 22, 2026

About this episode

The hosts discuss current political events and pop culture, including Trump's actions and recent media.

School’s out and we’re back, talking about politics and pop culture. We’re talking about Trump‘s domestic terrorist slush fund; the deal he made with himself that he could never get audited; a guy who posted a Charlie Kirk meme, got arrested, and successfully sued the sheriff for nearly million dollars; the midterms heating up; and Trump waging war on Iran as the GOP actively avoids Congress‘s oversight role. We also talk a little pop culture, with a look at the Fifth Element, the most recent episode of For All Mankind, and the series finale of Margot has Money Trouble, and The Boys. All this and more, and we’re still going on about that. Recorded on May 22, 2026. Tip jar! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ysgoat Get your YSGOAT tees, totes, mugs, and more in our store HERE.
