Episode Details

Jon Herold comes in Tuesday on primary day with a show that keeps arriving at the same uncomfortable destination. Iran shot down a US Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz last night and Trump posted the US must respond, which Jon notes creates an interesting tension with his earlier request that Israel not respond to Iranian attacks. Nithya Raman has officially bumped Spencer Pratt from the LA runoff, and Jon asks the audience directly: how many of you actually believe any of the ongoing California investigations are going to produce outcome-altering accountability rather than one arrested ballot harvester? Todd Blanche's DOJ nomination is in genuine trouble with Tom Tillis as the pivotal vote, and Jon has been saying Blanche was not getting confirmed since the day it was announced. He also spends time debunking the viral EBS color decode from the UFC White House event setup, demonstrates that every jumbotron in history displays those same colors during calibration, and finds 2015 UFC examples to prove it. Trump called for Thune to fire the Senate parliamentarian, and Jon says the real problem is Thune. India just deployed nuclear warheads for the first time. The Lindsey Graham primary in South Carolina is today and Jon does not love the situation regardless of who wins.
