Chapter 1: What are the current challenges surrounding Trump's Iran War?
Can we talk about war? By the way, how are you doing? I'm in Chicago and it's also rainy in Chicago. So we're both going through the same experience. I'm doing well. I just got some breakfast with my producer. Now we're going to work all day. Covering the war is... It's quite intense. And that's because...
The scale of death and destruction that's happening on a daily basis due to an unforced error by our dumbass leaders, it's insane to watch. And that's not even mentioning the economic destruction that we're going to see for the next few weeks. So it's just more BS every single day. And that's how I'm doing. More BS every day. I'm with you on that, Adam McElroy. And I have you on.
I wanted not to have you on because you have me on your platform as well. I wanted to discuss with you, both of us, how young people are feeling about this war. Now, as you know, Adam, I go out and I talk to people all the time with my man in the streets. And I talked to a bunch of people yesterday, most of them young people, because I live very close to a university near NYU. And...
Most very informed, not for this war at all, especially the school girls are outraged by it. But there were, there was one, maybe a couple who said, you know, I, I'm going to play it for you and you tell me what you think about it. Yeah. You tell me what you think. I want to hear what the young people are saying. Yeah. This is just one person. Okay. Are you ready for this?
You'll be able to hear it. I don't know. You won't be able to see it. What about the war in Iran? I think Trump's doing the right thing, honestly. Why so? I got no comment on that. You don't know why? Nah, I'm just taking a guess. You're just guessing that he's doing the right thing? Yeah. Are you serious? Yeah. How do you feel? I mean, I don't know. I don't think Trump's doing the right thing.
Is this a joke? What? Is this a joke? Yeah. No, it's not. It's not. All right, you go fucking drive home, bro. I'll walk home soon. Damn, I don't know what just happened. But he doesn't even know why.

Chapter 2: How do young people perceive the war and its implications?
Yeah, I don't know why. I just think, like, it's not good for a comedy. Like, I don't know. Okay. How do you feel about that? What do you think? A few things. With all due respect, not every young person sounds like they're on horse tranquilizer all the time. Because I feel like that first dude got really mad at you and, like, stormed off. He very clearly... No, he didn't get mad at me.
He got mad at his friend because his friend said... Oh. His friend disagreed with him. His friend said, I don't think what they're doing, what Trump is doing with the war is right. And he said, are you kidding me? And the guy's like, no, I'm not. And he said, well, then you can walk home. Whoa. Okay. I didn't catch that interaction. I thought that they were mad at you. Okay.
First of all, the one emotional friend is very clearly just sucked up in right-wing propaganda. He has blind faith in Donald Trump. He has faith in whatever Donald Trump is doing. The friend that gave the rational answer is closer to where the average Gen Z-er is. Like, the average person that's Gen Z or millennial
or honestly of any age, can see that America has tried and failed the same experiment in the past. We've tried it in the Middle East with Gaddafi. We tried with Saddam Hussein. We tried to overthrow the bad guy and think that that would cause some sort of change, but it almost always leads to more and more chaos
more and more you know internal militias fighting each other and more and more debt we added eight trillion dollars to the national debt when we went to war in the middle east in the 2000s when i was a little kid and now we pay 1 trillion dollars per year on the interest of our debt right so it's insane how much money we're paying just to fund prior wars that we did and now trump is going to war
In the Middle East, again, spending $1 to $2 billion a day, they're asking for about like $50 billion, which is roughly the same amount that we were asking for for the Affordable Care Act subsidy extension.
So when you were interviewing those two young dudes, I actually think that's kind of a beautiful clip in a way, even though there's a little bit of tension there, because you have one person who's very clearly still clinging on to the faith he has for Donald Trump. He's like, I am so faithful that whatever Donald Trump is doing is the right thing. I'm not even going to look into it.
And then you have another person who is maybe sympathetic towards what Trump does, but is like, I don't support my taxpayer dollars going towards an overseas war that I don't quite fully understand. So many young people are learning from the past mistakes.
Not a lot of young people are thinking about the national debt in those terms, but we're just seeing at a very high level, wait a minute, you can't fund education and healthcare, but on a whim, you can bomb a girls' school with 160 schoolchildren? It's just... It's sickening in watching the older generations mortgage the future of the younger generations. It's nothing new in my opinion.

Chapter 3: What are the economic impacts of the ongoing conflict?
discord and antisocial behavior in the united states and i think young people are trapped in this like reality we're in a post-covid world we're all on our devices and there's all this radical stuff online and they want to keep your session time so high that you're just never going outside and then yeah you know people are drinking a lot less in my generation but they're smoking weeded away higher rate which i think also leads to less socialization but i mean honestly i
It's interesting. I think people should smoke more. I think people should drink more. I think people should have more sex in my generation. Have fun. We need to have these experiences, honestly. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you have a date. Adam's like, do not put me in that category about dateless and sexless. I'm good, I guess. Good for you, Adam.
But the people who will suffer the consequences, quite honestly, of this war, if boots on the ground actually does happen, will be your generation. It will be younger people. And so all of the people who are in power, all the people in Washington, all of our lawmakers and most of the people, most of the people I believe who support this president, they have no skin in the game.
And so, you know, OK, send people off to war. They're not going to fight it. You are. It's very easy for Lindsey Graham and Donald Trump to warmonger on live television all of the time when no one in their immediate circles will face the repercussions of this. Like Donald Trump lives in a...
Speaking of bubbles, speaking of people having bubbles up around them, this guy lives in like the largest gold-colored bubble I've ever seen in my life. He won't face the repercussions. Obviously, we've seen like Send Baron, Send Nick Shirley. We've seen all of those things trending on Twitter.
I think that people in my generation are done with the draft-type language, especially from people that dodged it. And in reality, I think that The economic destruction that's happening across our generation is on a lot of people's minds. And then right next to that is the fact that young men and women are being sent overseas.
Declan Cody, one of the people that died in the first strike about two weeks ago, was 20 years old. This is a 20 year old guy who reportedly was really excited to use his technical skills. He was a technician. um, somewhere on the field. So he was deployed because he liked our country. He loved our country and he deployed under the promise that he was helping our country. What do we have?
We have a commander in chief that got him killed and then he used the photo of the dignified transfer to fundraise money online. That one really Donald Trump used the dignified transfer photo to fundraise money off the back of dead Americans that he got killed. So
so much sick and when asked about it what did he say didn't he say there's lots of people who post things or whatever and we don't know yeah yeah he didn't he just it was a non-answer and then i think he probably snapped at the reporter for even asking the question so then what do we do is your generation gonna this is your generation like i'm some older i am though Are you guys going to vote?

Chapter 4: How does the national debt relate to military spending?
We'll see what happens. Yeah. Okay. So let's get to the thing that you want to talk about, which is... All right. So, um, Megan Kelly, I hate to mention Megan Kelly on the show because I think that she's such a vile human being and just a waste of breath and oxygen, but she's feuding with Mark Levine.
And, um, uh, I don't know much about it as I told you before, but I did see, and I thought it was a joke that she said that he had a micropenis. Yeah. Yeah. She said it multiple times now. Okay, so anyways. Okay. Go on. Let me run you through. Let me just run you through the A to Z very quickly. So obviously there's a huge division over this war that is happening, the Iran war.
Raga is divided in this way. There's Mark Levin, who you can think of as the Lindsey Graham type. No surprise, he's frothing at the mouth on Fox News saying, you're either with America or you're against America. Now we have Megyn Kelly, who I agree is a waste of time. She's sort of taking this, like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I thought we were America first. Let's back up here.
So for the past few months, they have been feuding. And I guess this war has brought it to a peak. And now... Mark Levin tweeted out yesterday, poor Megyn Kelly, an emotionally unhinged, lewd, and petulant wreck. She completely revealed and destroyed herself. She's everything people say she is, but much worse. Utterly toxic.
And she responded and said, micropenis Mark at Mark Levin show thinks he has a monopoly on lewd. She then tweeted again, micropenis Mark. She then tweeted again, and then Marjorie Taylor Greene backs her up and says, I wholeheartedly support Megyn Kelly tweeting this. Now, this is the part that I find the most absurd.
Obviously, that in and of itself is absurd, but Donald Trump himself came out last night and came to Mark Levin's defense. Donald Trump himself sent out a post saying, Like all of these attacks against Mark Levin are unfounded, basically. Who knows if he actually saw the micropenis attacks, but we're in the middle of an effing war. Why is the president of the United States?
It's like he came out in solidarity. He's like, you don't attack people for having micropenis. I'm going to come out in solidarity with Mark Levin. Chill out, Donald Trump, number one. Number two, Mark Levin then responded in an even more humiliating way. Wait, let me see. I think I just lost the post. Mark Levin then responded and he said, Mr. President,
I am beyond humbled by your words and graciousness in writing such a beautiful note. And then the replies of Mark Levin's tweet are all just making fun of a micro penis. So, you know, it's immature politics, but I thought it was worth bringing up. It's kind of funny. How does Megyn Kelly know the size of his penis? All of them seem very confident. That's a question that I've had too.
I'm very confident. What you mean about the size of Mark? Yeah. So, so Marjorie Taylor green said, um, I wholeheartedly support Megan Kelly saying this. It's the most deserved insult. And I don't care if it's vulgar. Like, what do you mean it's deserved? How are they all so confident? He has a micro penis. I don't get it. I don't know. Well, from what I hear, do you remember, uh, was it,
