Episode Details

Jake Tapper is suddenly talking like a 9/11 commission on COVID would be a good idea — after years of the same media machine treating lockdowns, school closures, and “overreaction” talk as fringe. The Dudes kick things off with Tapper’s fly-fishing softball with Gavin Newsom, the hindsight tour on beaches, Purell & schools and why a CNN anchor calling for accountability now still sounds a lot like damage control.

Later, the fellas dissect 9/11 families still fighting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 25 years later: Terry Strada at Ground Zero, the lawsuit that survived a motion to dismiss, 15 of 19 hijackers being Saudi nationals, and families now trying to gum up a U.S.–Saudi civil nuclear deal until the files and the money questions get real answers. That rabbit hole turns into the latest Houthi escalation in Yemen — missiles and drones toward Riyadh and Yanbu, fighting for the high ground above the Bab al-Mandab, reports Trump waved off last-minute U.S. strikes, and why Red Sea shipping and Saudi air defenses are back in the same sentence.

The guys close the show on Fresh Kills, the Staten Island landfill that took in more than a million tons of World Trade Center debris, the workers still living with what they sifted, and the dust that was never just dust. Then it’s white American men talking themselves into Sharia as if the Constitution were optional and Bill Maher almost falling out of his chair on Real Time after Fox’s Jessica Tarlov insisted Democrats are “less crazy.” Maher wasn’t buying the rebrand. Neither are the Dudes.

Thank you for listening and supporting the show.
