Episode Details

Pags breaks down the strategy to squeeze Iran economically and asks whether financial pressure can finally force the regime to fold without escalating the war even further. Then things take a completely different turn as the dethroned Miss North Carolina USA sues the Miss USA organization for defamation. Was she actually given a fair chance, or did another knee-jerk cancellation happen before all the facts were known? Pags compares the controversy to Shane Gillis being fired from Saturday Night Live, and the entire crew jumps into a lively debate about cancel culture and whether people and organizations are too quick to destroy someone's reputation. They also get into the latest hit show On Patrol: Live before Lt. Col. Jeffrey Addicott joins Pags for a deep dive into Iran. Who actually holds power inside the country—the president, the theocracy or the IRGC? Is the Strait of Hormuz really open or closed? And what exactly is happening with the proposed buffer zone? Addicott cuts through the confusion and explains what's really happening inside Iran.
