"Was it a drone, or did the Pentagon just lose the remote to their giant laser?"

Today on the show, we are joined by the legendary Tony Camin (The Marijuana-Logues), Emmy-winning filmmaker Nicole Boxer (The Invisible War), and the ultimate geek authority Blaine Capatch (Beat the Geeks) for a deep dive into the absolute circus that is February 2026.

In this episode:

• The Bondi Blowup: AG Pam Bondi testified today and it was… a lot. Between calling Jamie Raskin a "loser lawyer" and pivoting to the Stock Market when asked about the Epstein files, we break down why the DOJ is acting more like a PR firm for the Dow Jones than a law enforcement agency.

• Super Bowl Saltiness: Why is the Right still in a tailspin over Bad Bunny? From Megyn Kelly’s "Meatloaf Manifesto" to the TPUSA "All-American" halftime show fail, we look at why speaking Spanish in a US territory is the new front line of the culture war.

• The El Paso "Laser" Mystery: Was the airport really shut down by cartel drones, or was it a Pentagon laser test gone rogue? We discuss the "distraction" theory and why the government promised a 10-day shutdown but opened the gates in four hours.

• The Seditious Six Win: A DC Grand Jury just refused to indict Sens. Kelly and Slotkin for quoting the Constitution. Why does this administration keep taking massive "L’s" in court, and is the "bullying" strategy finally hitting a wall of actual citizens?

• Where is the Outrage? With the DOJ targeting veterans and the AG dodging Epstein survivors, we ask the panel: Why aren't Americans taking to the streets? Is it fear, or just extreme "outrage fatigue"?
