Ep. 216 | They Tried to Bomb NYC & the Media Wrote Them a Love Letter

Two Pennsylvania teenagers yelled “Allahu Akbar” and threw a homemade TATP bomb into a crowd in New York City — and the media called it a “normal day gone wrong.” We’re not doing that. This week, Mercedes and Rachel break down the NYC bombing attempt, Mayor Zoram Mamdani’s stunning non-response, and the media’s shameless cover for what’s clearly ISIS-inspired terrorism. Then: the Iran operation’s messaging crisis, the Tomahawk missile question Trump fumbled, and the Iranian women’s soccer team members who risked everything to defect in Australia. Plus — Tucker Carlson’s latest nihilistic spiral, why his rhetoric is drifting somewhere deeply cynical, and what a Republican fundraiser just revealed about 2028. Buckle up. The media is trash, and we have zero tolerance for it.

Episode Highlights

• Two teenagers attempted a Boston Marathon-style bombing outside the NYC mayor’s home — and one said he wanted a bigger body count. The media ran a sympathetic profile and then deleted it.
• Mayor Zoram Mamdani opened his press conference talking about Jake Lang and white supremacy — barely mentioning the actual ISIS-sympathizing bombers in his own city.
• Trump called the Iran conflict “an excursion” and appeared not to know Tomahawk missiles aren’t a generic term — raising serious questions about the girls school bombing.
• Tucker Carlson’s rhetoric has officially drifted into nihilism territory — repeatedly invoking rape and pillaging as the inevitable outcome of U.S. military action, prompting a sharp breakdown from Mercedes and Rachel.
• Seven members of the Iranian women’s soccer team were granted asylum in Australia after refusing to sing the national anthem — and risking death for it.
• At a Republican fundraiser, the crowd reportedly went nearly unanimous for Rubio over Vance when Trump asked who should run in 2028.
