Chapo Trap House

Jake & Thomas join us to explore some recent Rogan Lore, look at the eschatological facets of Ted Lasso, and contemplate the interiority of some of our acquaintences. Then, our various failures in Iran, our Troops on T, and our bumbling military in general.

DIVA DOWN! We pay our respects to Lindsay Graham, a man who died doing what he loved. We then tour some recent geopolitical conflicts, with the Ukraine war in a continuing stalemate despite recent drone innovations and the Iran War back in full swing. We also talk about a few fun cultural topics, such as Connor McGregor’s loss, Boosie Badazz allegedly trying to bribe Jacob Wohl, and the continuing story of Kash Patel. CHUNKS IS COMING!

This week on Chapo, we finally beat the news curse to talk about Graham Platner’s latest and likely career-ending scandal…only to fall victim to it by talking about the Trump-FIFA red card reversal that absolutely did not matter at all. Our friend Tim (@garliccorgi) of the ALAB podcast is here to talk about this all, plus a roundup of the Supreme Court’s recent stripping of the copper wire out of everything, the narrow survival of the 14th amendment, and any potential options a future administration might have to reverse this.

Josh Ettingermentum is back to recap Zohran’s hostile takeover of the New York Democratic Party, with his three endorsed candidates cruising to victory. We talk about this new wave of left insurgency throughout the country, what it means for the sclerotic Democratic establishment and the stillborn Abundance movement, and what we make of Zohran’s time in office overall. Plus: John Fetterman fires shots at Chapo and Hasan. Find the Ettingermentum newsletter here: https://www.ettingermentum.news/ Get CHUNKS here: https://www.patreon.com/chunkstv

Chapo tech correspondent and AI skeptic Ed Zitron is back to mourn Our Keir, a good man struck down in his prime. What will the future hold for the UK, and are the writers foreshadowing 2029 in America? We then turn to the world of AI, where more and more companies are struggling to find an ROI on AI and OpenAI is burning unfathomable amounts of money. Plus: Elon Musk’s trillionaire status, the government banning AI models, and the cross-partisan desire to turn the clock back to 2014.

Will and Felix are in person to celebrate two great victories this week: the IRGC and the New York Knicks. The two also review “UFC Freedom 250” on the White House lawn, with Will as our entry point into and Felix as our expert in the field of MMA. Plus: we also discuss Eric Trump’s brilliant plan to gamble on the fights.

McMansion Hell writer and architecture critic Kate Wagner joins us for an early review of the Obama Presidential Center. We talk about its design, its architecture, its cloying message of “HOPE” that feels like Ludovico conditioning, and what it means as a final, definitive end of the Obama era and the Long 2010s.

Ryan and Jeremy of Drop Site News return on Day 94 of the Special Military Operation in Iran, with breaking news about the ongoing ceasefire negotiations. We survey the (bleak) state of affairs across the globe, from Lebanon to Palestine to the looming regime change in Cuba. We also discuss the Israel lobby’s attempted counterinsurgency and the “Israel Day Parade” in NYC. Subscribe to Drop Site here: https://www.dropsitenews.com/

Bryan Quinby and Chris James from Guys are here for an analysis of the newest “assassination attempt” on President Trump.
