The White House Correspondents Dinner went south really fast yesterday, and somehow an attempt at the President's life is being used to justify lifting the red tape around the new White House ballroom (by the President). Alex discusses that (and why this ballroom is so important to him), theorizes about whether or not the biggest CEOs have AI psychosis, and roasts both sides of the political aisle for peddling nonsense and manipulating narratives to gain votes.

This is truly getting exhausting. It would be wonderful if the government could maybe give us a day off from the madness. Trump did a lot, and Alex cannot pinpoint a single thing he's done to rant about which becomes a rant in itself about news fatigue. Pete Hegseth accidentally quoted Pulp Fiction while thinking he was quoting a Bible verse. CEOs (especially healthcare ones) are unethical just for existing, and I'll prove it to you with philosophy, here.

Alex is back to talk about the war in Iran, rant about the economy and gas prices due to said war in Iran, and discusses the constitution in a way they don't want it to be discussed - by interpreting it literally. Also President Trump said something WILD, even for him, on Truth Social this morning. Follow the show @tsnpod on TikTok and @shortnewspod on Instagram alexmadore on TikTok and Instagram

As if rising gas prices weren't enough of a struggle for the American people right now, the wartime news gets even more unfortunate. Between the military becoming suspiciously lenient about who they recruit, and discussions of a draft as the US continues to attack Iran, it seems more and more like something expensive and dangerous is coming. Also, yes, Alex rants about gas prices and that spirals into a wartime discussion about the United States, Iran, Israel, and like zero fun voice impressions...

The DOJ just released the second round of Epstein Files including emails, and some extremely damning and disturbing information about Donald Trump.

Finally answering the question "is the common person smarter than Kim Kardashian?" while discussing invasive home robots like the NEO nightmare bot by 1X, which is only semi-autonomous (the rest of the time a dude in an Oculus headset is just exploring your house from many miles away), and contemplating the double-edged sword that convenience is becoming with the introduction of automation in everyday life. Alex also talks about new music he's been working on, asteroids flying near earth(?) and ...

Alex returns to make fun of the Epstein files for the third week in a row, rant about how democrats (aside from Zohran) don't know how to run a successful/authentic election anymore, and complain about the state of the economy, and what you can do to navigate a world where everything around you is trying to find more inventive ways to take your money (btw new merch is available in the link here: https://my-store-11508079.creator-spring.com/listing/the-fine-i-miss-her-mug?product=1565&variati...

It turns out sometimes the most sinister of people use Gmail to discuss their crimes, and accidentally leave behind the most outrageous and incriminating paper trail. Sometimes it's through said paper trail where we find out something as outrageous as "Donald Trump gave Bill Clinton head." Alex talks about the recent findings from the leaked 20,000 Jeffrey Epstein emails as well as clowns the current president for... you know already....
