Even More News: No War With Iran.... Please?

February 20, 2026·59 min·5 clips

A Trump advisor says there's a 90% chance of kinetic action against Iran in the next few weeks, with no congressional approval.

The ads are barely cold before the mood snaps. What follows is more rolling indictment than tidy segment, aimed first at people pretending they somehow missed what was obvious. The point is ugly and simple. A convicted figure was still moving through powerful circles in 2016 and 2018, and the excuse machine around that gets treated as ridiculous on sight. Nobody gets the luxury of innocence here. The host frames those meetings as network building, power hoarding, and plain indifference dressed up nicer than it deserves. Then the episode turns hard. A mass shooting at a youth hockey game in Rhode Island left two people dead and three injured, with the shooter appearing to target their ex-wife, adult son, and family members. The horror should be enough. Instead, the online right jumps on reports that the shooter was a trans woman and starts declaring victory. Matt Walsh gets named directly. His reaction is presented as a grotesque victory lap before the facts have even settled. Then the facts get inconvenient. The shooter is also described as a Nazi Trump supporter, with SS Nazi tattoos, a claim of being to the right of Hitler, and a history of bad temper. Some of the certainty gets quieter, but the larger demonization keeps moving. The rant lands on the opportunism: a troubled person commits an egregious crime, and the online right tries to force it into whatever panic was already selling. The closing stretch loosens into battered show-family energy. Someone absent is safe, mostly warm, and sending love while the group thanks Jonathan, asks people to like and rate the show, and fumbles the sign-off. It is messy, funny, and sour in the way this show gets when the news is already awful and the reaction somehow makes it worse.
