The Attack Podcast

From politics to sports and pop culture, The Attack attempts to make a little sense of the madness and chaos while having some fun.

@bennyjohnson The working man’s president and his “free” plane that costs us $400M+ in modifications.

@LangmanVince Russia is helping Iran with Intel to target our forces. So let’s reward them says paid MAGA.

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@HansMahncke Eh, they didn't know what they were doing.

@EricLDaugh US started the War, and I thought we won it? He's losing it.

Startling moment even by Trump’s standards, egging Speaker Mike Johnson on to talk about GOP Rep. Neal Dunn’s health diagnosis.

Johnson hedges a bit and Trump interjects that Dunn was told he’d be dead by June.

Johnson: Ok, that wasn’t public.

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@NiallStanage Just sad.

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@Sassafrass_84 I mean, he's running a $1T budget for an organization that can't pass an audit.

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@EricLDaugh The real grift is right in front of us.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

New Pentagon budget reports show Pete Hegseth spent $93 billion in one month, making it the highest monthly expense since 2008.

This budget report included spending $2 million on Alaskan King Crab.

@GuntherEagleman Land > People. It is a weird logic.

🚨 The last 30 minutes on Wall Street:
The US Energy Secretary posted that a ship had safely transited the Strait of Hormuz.

Markets surged. Oil tanked. Hope briefly entered the room.

Then he deleted the tweet.

Markets reversed. Oil pumped back up.
Then Karoline Leavitt confirmed: no ship has gone through the Strait.

The Energy Secretary of the United States accidentally moved global oil markets with a false post — then deleted it.

This is the administration managing the most severe energy crisis in modern history.

Steve Witkoff doesn’t know how the war ends.

Trump says “you could say both.”

And the Energy Secretary is posting and deleting market-moving misinformation in real time.

Iran is laying mines.

These people have no idea what they’re doing.

@MAGAVoice Fake deals. He is in over his head.

@MAGAVoice That what, the 4th-5th different answer? I remember when DOGE and balancing the budget was of the upmost importance. Now we’ll burn the DOGE “savings” in 5-6 months, mostly defending other countries from rocket attacks. And we can’t get proper healthcare in the US.

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@SoCalGuy47 @FarmGirlCarrie @jjauthor So they forgot to rig it a second time? While Biden was in office?

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@SP00N31 @jerseymike01 @RealAlexJones Hate to tell you - those aren’t real accomplishments as gas prices spike, economy drags, he’s running massive deficits, and starting new wars that burn billions of dollars we don’t have. Wake up.

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@bennyjohnson Of course he says this as he can't get a deal and has to abide by what Isreal wants. It shouldn't be that way, but here we are. Paid MAGA is now pro war as we burn through $100s of millions a day. He should of listened to himself from 2012.

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@CrockdadCO @RealDonKeith Indeed.

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@C_3C_3 No.

[Assistant Secretary Mora Namdar @AsstSecStateCA]

The @SecRubio @StateDept urges Americans to DEPART NOW from the countries below using available commercial transportation, due to serious safety risks. Americans who need State Department assistance arranging to depart via commercial means, CALL US 24/7 at [phone] (from abroad) and [phone] (from the U.S. and Canada). ENROLL in https://t.co/tn90vcTuHc to get the latest security updates from the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.

@doogadoo11 As we lose service men and innocent people caught in the crossfire and spend between ~$500-$700M a day we don't have, you better hope it is. After all, who wants affordable healthcare and housing? Just idiots I guess.

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@GordonGChang Full on blame mode in day 3. Not a good sign.

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@realJoelFischer Eh, lot of rube thoughts above to feed a desperate base, but net - Trump started the war, and sadly, doesn't seem to know how to explain why or how to end it....

[Gregg Carlstrom @glcarlstrom]

Trump is basically calling up every journalist in his phone to workshop different timelines and goals for his war. In the past two days:

@washingtonpost: the aim is "freedom for the people" of Iran

@axios: maybe we can "end it in two or three days" with a deal

@nytimes: might be "four to five weeks", I have "three very good choices" who might take control in Iran

@abc: actually, nevermind, we killed those choices

He doesn't sound convinced by any of it. He's throwing spaghetti at the wall. Ultimately I suspect he just wants to say he "solved" a problem that has vexed every American president since Jimmy Carter.

But there's no clear idea what that looks like and no plan for how to get there. And there are plenty of possible scenarios in which Trump declares victory and leaves the region with an absolute mess

[The Attack Podcast @TheAttackPod]

@SaltyGoat17 Impressive, Trump and his propaganda apparatus has his "America First" followers cheering on the escalation of a new war on the behalf of another country. Buy those red hats and chant and think whatever the leader says.....
