Episode description

Former Representative and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has been placed onto a threat list by the TSA. Gabbard is well known for her opposition to Vice President (then Senator) Kamala Harris in the 2020 presidential primary, and for her realist foreign policy views, particularly on Syria.

Beginning two weeks ago, Gabbard and her husband have found their boarding passes marked with the “SSSS” designation indicating that the passenger is on a threat list known as “Quiet Skies” that subjects passengers to lengthy “random” searches and tracking by air marshals.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the appearance on Laura Ingraham’s show that likely led to Tulsi’s name being added to the list and what it says about our security state that a prominent politician and member of the US armed forces can be treated this way.

Plus segments on Kamala Harris stealing Trump’s big idea to eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers, Hezbollah missiles penetrating Israel’s vaunted “Iron Dome” defense system, a majority of Americans now opposing sending US troops to defend Israel, and the Japanese city of Nagasaki refusing to invite Israel to participate in an event commemorating the city’s bombing in 1945.

Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from still-president-for-now Joe Biden!
