Ep. 219 | They Caught Him Twice and Let Him Go Twice
Episode 219
Tuesday, 24 March, 2026
TSA agents are 40 days into working without pay, an 18-year-old college student is dead at the hands of an illegal immigrant Chicago refused to deport, Iran is firing ballistic missiles at U.S. bases, and a Twitch streamer is glamping at a Cuban government hotel in the name of socialism. This week, Meseidy and Rachel break down the DHS/TSA shutdown — including the inconvenient truth Democrats don’t want you knowing about ICE funding — react to the murder of Sheridan Gorman and Chicago’s outrageous political response, deliver a full Operation Epic Fury update (Khomeini, Diego Garcia, Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum), and roast Code Pink’s Fire Festival 2.0 in Havana. Also: the “Iran isn’t a threat” crowd has gone suspiciously quiet.New here? Hit follow.
