In short
The episode reacts to a failed US-Israel-Iran ceasefire, escalating regional violence (Strait of Hormuz reopening/closing, Israel bombing Beirut, Iran accusing Israel, and Iranian attacks on a Saudi oil pipeline). The host argues the collapse proves Trump “chickened out” and that impeachment/25th Amendment won’t stop him; he also blames media figures for enabling Trump.
Guest backgrounds

Imagine crystal blue waters, world-class snorkeling, ancient Maya sites, and jungles alive with adventure. All just a few hours away. And thanks to nonstop United Airlines flights from Chicago O 'Hare to Belize City, getting there is easy. Flights take just over four hours, making paradise closer than you think. Start planning your getaway now at TravelBelize.org. That's TravelBelize.org. The warmth of Belize is only one nonstop flight away. Irreverent news, talk, opinion, satire. It's Newsweek Radio. I'm Jesse Edwards, and I have no idea what to make of any of this right now.
0:37Usually, I've got a pretty good bead on things, but Pakistan coming out of nowhere and negotiating a two-week ceasefire between the United States, Israel, and Iran was not on my bingo card. But apparently, it doesn't even matter because the ceasefire is already being ignored. Strait of Hormuz was open. Now, it's closed again. Now that Israel has taken its aggression over to Beirut, Lebanon, and started bombing the hell out of them instead of Iran, now Iran's accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire. Iranians attacking the Saudi Arabians oil pipeline. It's just pure chaos. And at the center of it all is our incompetent president.
1:09The man that thrives on chaos. His first presidency was all about chaos here within the states. Now he's escaped our borders and set the entire world on fire. Who is going to stop this man? Who is going to step up? Oh, the Democrats talking about impeachment now. Great. Do it. I think the biggest frustration here is that none of us can do anything about any of this right now. While our livelihoods hang in the balance because the price of everything is skyrocketing, there's no end in sight and it doesn't look like the prices of anything are going to go down anytime soon, if ever. We've already impeached this giant butthole twice.
1:41What makes you think it's going to be any different this time? These impeachments are nothing but symbolic nonsense. Until he is dragged out of the Oval Office by his hair kicking and screaming on live television, nothing is going to get better. Now he's got his demon seed Baron Trump out there hawking drinks. Yeah, beware of this little psycho. Listen, we've got to make sure that nobody with the last name of Trump gets anywhere near the White House again. How do we do that? I don't know. They tell us to go to the voting booth, but that doesn't seem to make a difference, does it? Because we keep getting locked in with these terrible leaders.
2:12This one just happens to be the worst. So far. Just wait and see what happens when little Baron Trump tries to get his greasy little hands on the White House. What, you don't think they're already planning that? Top-turning headline in Newsweek today is the same as it was yesterday. day. People are searching for ways to get this jerk out of the office because he's destroying our country again. I don't think there's much else to say about it, unfortunately. And that's kind of a tough position to be in as a podcaster, because there's so much going on that there's nothing going on because there's no contrast between one event and the next.
2:39And I think that's totally by design. This is how Donald Trump works. This is how he thrives in chaos, kicking the hornet's nest every chance he gets in every department imaginable just to get whatever the hell he wants, because in the confusion, everybody loses their minds. He knows this and he can do whatever the hell he wants, whenever the hell he wants, and nobody has ever been able to stop him for his entire life. What makes you think we're going to be able to stop him now? With an impeachment that'll do nothing. With a 25th amendment that nobody has the courage to act upon. J.D. Vance isn't going to save us.
3:06The Democrats are not going to save us. The only thing we have left to do now is to sit here and live with our consequences and make sure it never happens again. That's not good enough for me, though. And I don't think that's good enough for a lot of us. Alex Jones has turned. Megyn Kelly has turned. Marjorie Taylor Green turned. It's a good start, but it's not nearly enough. I know people personally who loathe Donald Trump so bad that it physically makes them sick, yet they go on the air and tout his greatness every day. Because everybody's got a mortgage to pay. And if you paint yourself into the corner of a Trump supporter, you can't just turn on a dime and attack the guy because you're throwing away potentially half of your audience.
3:46And people with big audiences know this better than most. Yes, I am apoplectic today. And probably a little bit without direction. Usually I come to the microphone with a lot to say and I know exactly what I want to say that day. Today I don't. But I'm still sitting here with you in the midst of this nonsense. In every direction. Even Fox News knows that Donald Trump has lost the war with Iran. But he said that we want to dismantle all major nuclear facilities. That has not happened. The end of uranium enrichment on the soil, they're still enriching. The transfer of the enriched uranium stockpile.
4:21God, this guy can barely talk. How do you get a job at Fox News with the articulation of a four-year-old? That hasn't happened. The acceptance of intrusive international inspection. I can't listen to this idiot. Yeah, I'm kind of fired up today. Let's see what Megyn Kelly is flapping her gums about. I mean, I don't know about you, but I am sick of this shit. I'm sick of it. Amen. Can't he just behave like a normal human? no i mean honestly like the president i 3d chess just shut up fucking shut up about that shit you don't threaten to wipe out an entire civilization we're talking about civilians just casually in a social media post you know like i i am the first to try to understand trump and his strategy and to not freak out over his weird social media posts and language get to the point lady and incendiary truly i've lived with it for 10 plus years i learned it the hard way i know i was on the receiving end of it for nine months no you were part of the problem because you were right there along with everybody else cheering this idiot on you are part of the problem meghan kelly and what are you gonna do now blame it on the jews that's what you and Tucker Carlson are doing and Alex Jones.
5:38No, I don't like sending billions of dollars to Israel either. But you guys are only making the problem worse because the real problem is Donald Trump himself and you assholes got him elected. Shame on you sitting there on your high horse like you aren't a part of the problem just as bad as he is. Go ahead, continue with Megyn Kelly. But this is completely irresponsible and disgusting. You know what's completely irresponsible and disgusting? People like you. You prop this guy up for years knowing what but an incompetent boob he is. So he proceeds to act like an incompetent boob. And then you're just suddenly beside yourself.
6:12You and all the other fake conservatives, a bunch of phony hacks who shouldn't even have a show. I bet your audience retention, Megan, is somewhere around 30 seconds. Am I right? But it doesn't matter because you got millionaires propping up your propaganda. This is wrong. It's wrong. He should not be doing it. I don't care that it's a negotiate. His negotiation tactic is to kill an entire country full of civilians, men, women, and children? Yeah, you're about as edgy as a marble, Megan. What an absolute zoo this world has become. This message is brought to you by Cologuard. We've all forgotten something important before.
6:46Your keys, your phone, maybe even one birthday you definitely meant to remember. Life always has a way of filling up the to-do list. And for many adults, colon cancer screening keeps getting pushed to the bottom. That's why health insurers and systems are working to close the colorectal cancer screening care gap by mailing out Cologuard kits, helping more people stay up to date. The Cologuard test is a non-invasive option that requires no special prep or time off. It's that simple. The Cologuard test helps remove barriers that keep people from getting screened. If you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your doctor about the Cologuard test.
7:20Available by prescription only. Learn more or request a prescription at Cologuard.com slash Newsweek. Do not use the Cologuard products if you have had adenomas, which are a type of colon polyp that can sometimes become cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or any other hereditary syndromes, a personal or first-degree family history of colorectal cancer, or a positive result from another colon cancer screening method within that test's recommended screening interval. Colocard results should be interpreted with caution. A positive test result does not confirm the presence of cancer. Patients with a positive test result should be referred for colonoscopy.
7:50A negative test result does not confirm the absence of cancer. Patients with a negative test result should discuss with their doctor when they need to be tested again. False positives and false negative results can occur. Headline at Newsweek, Trump's favorability falls to lowest rating with the most accurate pollster. Who cares? He certainly doesn't. Do you think Donald Trump gives a shit about low poll numbers right now? What kind of idiot thinks that he cares about what you think? Other than the people who actually think that he cares what they think. How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?
8:18I'll tell you something that's going to get me in trouble, but I couldn't care less. Yeah, the ceasefire lasted about 30 seconds. And people are rightfully calling Trump a taco over this because Trump always chickens out because he's just a piece of crap. Where's the Alex Jones audio? Pull that up. Sure, he's anti-Trump now. But he also thinks that Jews are lizard people controlling the planet. I mean, come on. We've got idiots in every fucking direction. A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. That is the definition of genocide. Now, what did you expect? Not a war.
8:50Not a defensive war. What did you expect, you idiots? Literal bombardment, like Martians, you know, attack us and we don't have a defense. There he goes, Martians. Because he thinks the Jews are lizard people. There's nobody serious in this world anymore. Not that I'm the most serious person either. But damn it, where are the grown-ups in the room? There are none. There never have been, I guess. Maybe that's the illusion I'm struggling with. That when I was a child, I assumed that when I grew up, I would be around other grown-ups. But that is clearly not the case. Not anymore. Look, as a libertarian, independent, conservative, self-identifying, I'm not supposed to like guys like Barack Obama, but you know what?
9:26None of this horse shit ever happened when he was in charge. Sure, he was boring. Yes, he was a socialist. I probably don't agree with 90 % of his policies, but at least you knew he was a grown-up. At least you knew he wouldn't set the world on fire. At least you knew he could take some responsibility as a human being. Just look at his personal life alone. Married with children for years and zero allegations of infidelity. Compare that to Trump, who bangs porn stars and cheats on his wife like an Italian with a subscription to boner pills and all the christians line up behind him just to kiss his ass and i'm not a religious guy but i can start to see exactly how the antichrist comes to be and it's not the left wing that's going to bring it forward it's all these damn christians who think that donald trump represents them how stupid can you be from a religion that tells people to love their enemy they put somebody like donald trump in charge just to own their enemy supposedly only to have it blow up in their faces and have them deny anything bad happened like alex jones and megan Kelly sitting up here beside themselves wondering how exactly the hell this happened.
10:25It's because you. It's because of you, Alex Jones. It's because of you, Megyn Kelly, and all the other right-wing talkers who thought that Donald Trump was somehow going to be better than the left when he was a lifelong Democrat before he even got involved in politics, and I think he still might be. No, Donald Trump is not a Republican. Donald Trump is not a Democrat. Donald Trump is a con artist, and he scammed all of you. And now it's becoming clear who the dumbest of the dumb really are, because if Alex Jones and Megyn Kelly and Marjorie Taylor Greene and the whole other stinking lot of people who supported Trump until they didn't are the only ones in the room that are smart enough to realize that they've been conned, what does that say about you who still has a Donald Trump sign in your front yard?
11:02Shame on you. You deserve all the shame you can get because you obviously possess none yourself. It's time for every last one of us to announce Donald Trump. It's time for every last one of us to march on Washington and to demand some accountability. Demand all of the accountability. If our institutions cannot stand up to this maniacal twat and catapult him into the Potomac, then what good are they? Our checks and balances, our institutions, they couldn't protect us from Trump the first time, they failed to protect us from Trump the second time, and they're failing now. Because there isn't a single goddamn thing that they can do, or will do, to stop this madman from destroying our livelihoods.
11:39I'm not going to apologize for being pissed off today. We should all be pissed off today that this clown was allowed to serve in the highest office of the land. Shame on all of us. It's Newsweek Radio. I'm Jesse Edwards. Catch you next time. Bye. I'm sorry. Newsweek Radio is a member of the Trust Project. I don't know about you, but I am sick of this shit. I'm sick of it.
From the publisher
Trump declares victory as the Iran ceasefire collapses in real time. Now the people who spent years propping him up—like Megyn Kelly and Alex Jones—are acting stunned by the chaos they helped create.
