Trump meant "hottest country in the world" because someone told him Spokane is on fire
Terrific episode fellas!
It's always seemed weird to me that in Europe a continent facing the triple challenge of rebuilding their defence autonomy, mass migration often from their former colonies, and a worringly large percentage of the white population developing malignant imperial nostalgia. That absolutely no European leader has started reprising a monologue from Starship Troopers while dusting of all the alarmingly Orientalist military uniforms that 1800's military elites delighted in.
The intro to this episode was violence. Excellent demonstration of the concept
One minute in and assuming the bilingual bit goes on for the whole episode 🤞
(6:00--apparently DC was hotter than 99% of the planet on July 4th so maybe that's where the pachinko brain ball started, but holy hell, that's a quote for the ages)
