Episode Details

This week on Look Forward, Jay and Brad return to discuss the weekend war that Trump helped spark off with Iran. Tehran responds to US bombing their nuclear facilities but this is all just foreign policy posturing. MAGA civil war begins as pro-war and anti-war factions argue about betrayal with some unlikely characters standing against the president. Senate passes legislation for stable digital coins, Mamdani seems to have a real chance to take the mayoral race in NYC thanks to his progressive policies and rank choice voting, homicide rates are dropping in major cities and sadly that’s not being talked about as much as the lies about violence in these areas from conservatives, Floridian Republican almost dies because of abortion law in her state but somehow that’s Democrats fault, Trump whines not getting the Nobel Peace Prize like the pathetic titty baby he is, and much more!
