Bonus: 7-11 Never Forget
Summary
The hosts discuss the controversy surrounding Zohran Mamdani’s attendance at the 9/11 memorial, mocking the backlash from figures like Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump. They critique Trump’s fabricated stories about rescuing victims, framing them as part of a broader "bullshit" culture where leaders dictate reality. The conversation also explores the 9/11 conspiracy theories, arguing that the attacks were enabled by intelligence failures to justify the "War on Terror," and compares this to the recent October 7th attack in Israel.
