Judah and Mend start off by discussing Spotify's refusal to remove Ice ads and talk about utility hiccups and podcast stats before jumping into a lively debate about the right to self-defense in America. From there, we dive into topics like woke indoctrination, political misinformation, and why protecting historical truth matters more than ever. They also unpack shifting cultural values in Canada, genetic myths pushed by conspiracy theorists, and the growing danger of purity tests in politics. The show wraps up with a thoughtful discussion on the Israel and Gaza conflict, exploring paths to peace, global interference, and the failures of institutions like the UN, before closing on how urban infrastructure reveals what society really values today.
In this episode, Mend and Judah break down the latest developments in the New York mayor race, examining the candidates, voter sentiment, and what’s at stake for the city’s future, while also reflecting on the broader decline of American cities and the leadership failures driving it. The discussion then shifts overseas to international relations with Russia and Ukraine, where the hosts analyze the ongoing conflict, the challenges of diplomacy, and the risks of appeasing aggressors. Turning to the Middle East, Marcus and Judah explore the situation in Gaza, exposing Hamas’s continued operations and the roles of Turkey and Qatar in supporting the group, alongside Turkish President Erdogan’s inflammatory anti-Israel rhetoric. They also address the difficult question of how to de-radicalize Palestinian populations after decades of extremist indoctrination. Wrapping up, the hosts dive into the state of modern media, calling out bias, the growing influence of high-profile conservative figures, and the need for honesty in political discourse, before closing with a look ahead to the upcoming elections in New York and Virginia and what those races could mean for the country’s political direction.
On this episode we discuss the No Kings protest being a bust and the Left using fake video to make it look bigger while falsely accusing President Trump in the past of the same, why the U.S. hasn’t expedited finding the leaders of the Antifa movement or traced all their funding and why arrests haven’t happened yet, Mark Carney saying Canada would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he came to the country and the diplomatic fallout that could create, Hamas beta testing President Trump for his response to repeated ceasefire violations, Witcoff claiming he sympathizes with a Hamas leader who lost a terrorist son, NYC Mayoral candidate Mamdani taking selfies with an Imam who was a co-conspirator in the 9/11 terror attacks, the Trump White House Ballroom bringing sophistication to America, questioning whether this is really a ceasefire or just an appease-fire, and Mend bringing up Canada’s declining economy.
We torch the week’s grifters and gaslighters - starting with "No Kings Weekend," a monarchy cosplay run by the very mandate-happy scolds who weaponized the DOJ, muzzled speech and called it "democracy." We unpack the Fetterman mirage: an old-school Democrat with flashes of common sense, not a Republican convert - and why purity tests still matter when blue-state migrants turn red towns purple. We break down Hakeem Jeffries’ "feminism with fine print," smearing Karoline Leavitt while the Left suddenly forgets #BelieveWomen. We dig further into Biden's border dereliction after an Oct 7 butcher turns up in Louisiana (!!!). We point out (with Golan broadcasting from a bomb shelter in Israel) that Hamas hoarded the safest shelters underground and barred civilians - proof their tunnels weren’t for protection, but for war. We break down Zelensky’s Tomahawk ask, the reality that America makes mere dozens every year and why true deterrence means ramping up production yesterday. We shred Hamas for violating the ceasefire and refusing to disarm, game out a Gaza split (peaceful Gazans on one side, targeted strikes on Hamas on the other) and ask the line of the week: what’s the refund policy on a ceasefire when Israel already released killers and can’t even get bodies back? We torch the knowledge cartel - corrupt (often jihadi) Wikipedia editors flirting with blacklisting CBS under Barry Weiss, as ChatGPT hoovers Reddit/Wiki sludge. Finally, we roll our eyes at Netflix’s Monster-verse glamorizing psychopaths while lecturing America on "values."
In this episode of The Daily Cheat Sheet, hosts Judah Friedman and Mend "The Dude" Stern tackle the headlines with their signature mix of sharp insight and wit. From the indictment of John Bolton to the tangled web of Middle Eastern politics, we pull no punches. The conversation cuts deep into the role of AI in military strategy, the cultural clash over gender identity trends, and the shifting political battleground in Virginia. Expect candid takes, unexpected angles, and a few laughs along the way. If you’re tired of echo chambers and ready for real talk, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
We torch the week’s grifters and gaslighters - starting with Steve Bannon’s deranged "Middle East expert" act and the right-wing echo chamber dumb enough to echo him. We unpack how the PLO was a Soviet invention, not an indigenous movement, and why the two-state crowd keeps rewriting history to excuse terror. We break down Trump’s realpolitik at the Gaza peace summit - proof that strength, not appeasement, is the only language the region understands - and shred the Biden/Blinken attempts at taking credit when they were leading the circus that would reward Hamas for their butchery. We dig into LA’s "state of emergency" over ICE arrests, Ketanji Brown Jackson’s race-based lunacy at the Supreme Court and the young Republican morons turning Telegram into a hatefest. Finally, we roll our eyes at Tucker's new "Israel did 9/11" conspiracy-filled trash fire of a documentary, the CIA washout selling lies for clicks and MTG's Qatari-funded hypocrisy dressed as populism.
We unpack travel safety in cartel-controlled regions, call for real political accountability and expose the growing menace of street takeovers. We discuss the tangled world of New York City politics, the outsized influence of social media on public opinion and ongoing efforts to bring lasting peace to the Middle East. We examine cultural shifts and revisit Trump’s bold foreign policy moves. Finally, we close with a powerful tribute to Charlie Kirk.
We break down the historic Trump-brokered hostage release - twenty hostages home, Hamas humiliated and the world forced to admit that "Trumplomacy" works where every other president failed. We celebrate the miracle of the moment and the IDF soldiers who fought for it, but remember that Hamas hasn’t disarmed, hasn’t released all the bodies and the propaganda war is only heating up. We torch the "peace summit" circus where Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia lectured Israel while banning Bibi from the room - a clown show of hypocrites threatening "historic action" against the only democracy in the region at the very summit meant to celebrate Israel's peace. We shred the woke right and the far left alike for revealing their true face: anti-Americanism disguised as anti-Zionism, peddling lies about "occupation" while ignoring Hamas massacres and executions of their own people. We spotlight Jared Kushner - the quiet architect of the Abraham Accords - whose legitimacy and diplomacy forced the Arab world to pressure Hamas, not Israel. We contrast him with Bannon’s ego and Tucker’s moral rot, and call out the "America Only" crowd for what they really are: isolationists weaponizing Jew-hatred to mask their ignorance. We expose Students for Justice in Palestine cheering Hamas street executions, Spanish media rewriting history and Western "activists" mourning dead terrorists. And we remind everyone: Zionism isn’t a slur - it’s the Jewish right to self-determination, and it’s America’s fight, too. Finally, we cheer on Trump pulling off what the global elite said was impossible - peace through strength, results over rhetoric. Celebrate today and strategize tomorrow, because the war for truth, not just the war for Israel, is far from over.
We torch Qatar’s influence op on US soil - starting with the "not-a-base" Qatari Air Force facility in Idaho - and lay out the receipts: a US footprint north of $90B, 31 FARA agents, hundreds of DC meetings, cash seeding K-12 "language programs," university branches, think tanks, media, sports and real estate, while soulless clowns scream about "AIPAC barcodes." We call out Tucker Carlson and his millions in dirty Qatari money, further expose the comics cashing blood money in Saudi Arabia while lecturing Israel and the United States (surprise surprise that these go hand-in-hand) and salute Shane Gillis for saying no - twice - on actual principle, something the rest of these losers wouldn't know if it bit them on the face. We read Hamas’s own ceasefire-as-deception playbook - "like the treaty of Hudaybiyah" - and rip apart the Western media’s gullibility (or culpability). We break down Israel’s red lines in prisoner releases, and close with a plea for prayer and moral clarity as the twenty tortured hostages await release from Hamas.
We torch the lie that "ceasefire now" was ever about peace - as Israel swallows the hardest pill imaginable: trading 250 convicted murderers for our stolen civilians. We hammer the only honest framing - prisoners for hostages - while warning why the death penalty and real deterrence must return to Israel, and fast. We break down Trump’s hostage-first play that forced movement from Qatar and Turkey, with Egypt emerging as the surprise closer, and we demand teeth in any pause: disarm the RPGs and AKs, and zero re-constitution for Hamas. We shred the propaganda mill’s whiplash - Gaza "victory" celebrations and sad "it’s all rubble" posts from the same people, as well as calling out the cooked casualty math, and telling you how to avoid the next 72 hours of doom-scroll bait as the internet predictably mocks the freed. At home, we follow the riot supply chain - bulk tents, flags, masks, and ask why these things haven't been flagged until now. We cheer on Bondi for going RICO on the financiers, Patel for canning the FBI creeps who spied on senators and finally letting Letitia James taste the cold steel of the boomerang she threw as it comes back to bite her in the end. We drag Chicago’s Brandon Johnson for ducking the deport-the-rapist question, and map the next terror front: the diaspora, while also cheering on Austria and Germany for throwing off the boycott chains to push back against Eurovision bigotry. More than anything, we hold our collective breath and pray the hostages come home.
We go full throttle on the global moral collapse - from leftist terror cells lighting up US cities to the billionaire pipeline funding them from Shanghai and who know where else. We torch the media’s complicity in laundering terror as activism and expose the West’s cowardice while Jews in Europe have to take down their mezuzahs. We break down why the left worships dystopia, how "anti-fascists" are actually fascists with fancy branding and why the only leader with moral clarity left is Trump - whose hostage-first approach is forcing Hamas, Qatar and even Erdogan to blink. We honor the Americans still fighting for faith, decency and the American Dream, and pile drive the pod-bros, the fake intellectuals and the NFL’s woke circus for selling out the country that made them rich.
We revisit the October 7th massacre two years later - why it felt like 9/11 in slow motion, how moral clarity died somewhere between Harvard’s statements and Hamas’ hashtags and why Gaza can’t be "nation-built" when martyrdom is the curriculum. We torch the grifter-industrial complex - from Dave Smith’s clownish revision of history and Coleman Hughes politely gutting him, to Rogan’s echo chamber turning Hamas talking points into "questions." We rip apart the Ayatollah’s propaganda echoing through Western influencers, shred the silly "Israel pays influencers" scandal and call out Tucker and Candace Owens for laundering Qatari cash through moral relativism. We torch the neocon smear, reclaim moral clarity and remind listeners that the only proportional response to barbarism is total victory. Because the minute Israel stops fighting back, the West stops existing.
We torch the global moral collapse on the eve of October 7th’s anniversary - starting with Europe’s grotesque hypocrisy, where Spain’s Pedro “Palestine-for-everything” Sanchez blames Jews to distract from his own dumpster-fire economy while the Vatican scolds Israel for fighting back. We shred the woke rot infecting the Catholic Church and the silence of Pope Francis as Christians are slaughtered and churches are burned in Nigeria, France and Canada, expose the Western cowardice that sealed off its own dark history like Spain bricking up its Inquisition sites and torch the elites cheering Hamas flotillas while pretending to be humanitarians. We dig into how Greta Thunberg’s anti-Israel stunt became Europe’s "Hunger Games" preview, why France can’t keep a prime minister longer than a TikTok video and how Biden’s open-border madness let potentially thousands of ISIS-trained operatives into the US. We praise Trump’s moral clarity, mock the left’s self-immolation and remind the West that every time civilization forgets its lessons, the Islamist mob (or the Nazis - same thing) always start with the Jews... and end with everyone else.
We torch the silence and lies around Trump’s 20-point peace plan - starting with Hamas pretending "negotiations" are progress when Trump made it crystal clear: take the deal or perish. We shred CNN’s headline spin that made Hamas look like statesmen instead of hostage-hoarding killers, expose the UK’s synagogue attack and the media’s shrug at Jihad-by-name terrorism, while also connecting the dots between Antifa’s street chaos in Portland and the Islamist mobs burning through Europe. We dismantle the woke right’s Tucker-fueled obsession with making every issue about Israel, and call out Megyn Kelly and the "All-In" bros for laundering antiSemitism with a smile. We discuss why Tommy Robinson is hated for telling truths the cowards won’t, why standing by Israel means standing for the West and why Trump’s deadline trap may be the last real chance for peace before the barbarians get another free pass.
This is one extended debate about the concept of "Israel foreign aid" - what a lie it is to call it a handout, the misunderstandings of it actually being an American jobs program and how the Islamists, the Jew haters, the Left and the Woke Right weaponize these complications to try to convert confusion and misconceptions into hatred and outrage. We go back-and-forth about Tucker and the other "Fourth Reich" grifters parroting lies while ignoring the billions funneled to Lebanon, Egypt, Qatar and every other America-hating backwater. We break down how crucial the money supposedly going to Israel is for American companies like Lockheed, Boeing and Raytheon, and why pretending otherwise feeds the same propaganda machine that sells TikTok kids on "genocide" fairy tales and Bin Laden fan fiction. We butt heads over whether renaming it from "aid" to "trade" would stop antiSemites, bigots and liars from inventing new libels, or whether clarity and truth are more important than semantics as an antidote to the propaganda war Israel’s been fighting for 2,500 years. Finally, we draw a straight line from Nixon’s DEFCON-3 Israel-saving airlift to Trump’s moral clarity, call out how Democrats have abandoned America’s most important ally and remind listeners on Yom Kippur that fighting lies with truth isn’t optional... it’s survival.
We rip the mask off the Democrats’ shutdown tantrum - a trap Trump set that Schumer and Jeffries walked straight into, exposing them as the party willing to bankrupt America for illegal aliens while demanding giveaways nobody wants. We torch the generals leaking to the press about Pete Hegseth’s in-person dress-down - proving his point that they care more about diversity seminars than warfighting (and that they can't keep their mouth shut). We dismantle Kamala Harris’s delusional book tour where she blames everyone from Greta Gerwig to Josh Shapiro, brand her "dumb Hillary cackle" and laugh at her pick of Tampon Tim as VP material because he admitted he was bad at debates (fact check true!). We shred the BBC’s moral rot for framing hostage releases as "bad for Hamas," call out Western protesters marching for terrorists instead of kidnapped children and expose how fake famine numbers and dead-baby propaganda keep fueling useful idiots. We show why Israel’s strength keeps American boots off the ground and why the EU is a dying utility with little to offer the world. Finally, we discuss why Trump’s twenty-point Gaza peace deal isn’t a negotiation... it’s a take-it-or-die ultimatum that boxes Hamas into checkmate.
We celebrate Pete Hegseth's (performative but necessary and long overdue) military reset. We cut through the noise on TrumpRx, the new drug-price hammer that forces Big Pharma to stop soaking Americans while cutting a $70 billion Pfizer deal to manufacture at home. We torch the Democrats’ slide into irrelevance - from government shutdown brinksmanship that nobody outside of bureaucrats would notice, to New York’s apathy electing Hamas-apologists like Mamdani. We break down Elon Musk canceling Netflix over its latest trans-cartoon indoctrination, the culture rot pouring out of Hollywood and why parenting - not boycotts - is the real frontline. Finally, we dismantle Trump's new 20 point Middle East play, in which he proves (again) that he’s the only peacemaker in the room, setting a "trap" that gives Israel its hostages, strips Hamas of its weapons and leaves Qatar, Saudi and the Arab bloc with cover while terrorists are boxed into a lose-lose.
We outline the new Trump Gaza deal - 250 murderers and 1,700 terrorists traded for maybe 20 living Israelis and an end to the war... plus the fantasy that Gaza can be "de-radicalized" by the same UN who basically helped radicalize them to begin with. We rip Europe’s sellout chorus from the UK to Spain, expose Qatar as a jihadi hedge fund buying Western silence and remind listeners that denazifying Palestinians means stripping away the only identity they've ever had. We skewer the media for burying Christian and Mormon blood, and torch the Epstein list obsession that turned out to be just another internet brain rot. Plus, we call out Jimmy Kimmel’s ratings collapse, and note that UFO videos are like Gaza ceasefires - there may be more of them than ever, but the quality keeps getting worse.
We rip the mask off January 6th - from 274 FBI agents and 26 informants running security theater to Pelosi’s deliberate refusal of the National Guard, proving the "insurrection" was a government-led psyop sold by a complicit press. We torch court-shopping and judge-shopping as the new weapons of lawfare, mock Biden’s appointees who free repeat killers while indicting patriots and remind listeners why justice isn’t done until it’s seen. We shred the UN’s "“League of Extraordinary Villains" cheering Abbas while walking out on Netanyahu, expose Macron and the UK selling out the West and ask who America’s allies really are now that Germany, France and Canada (and many others) have collapsed into appeasement. We hammer Gavin Newsom for branding ICE and Stephen Miller as "Gestapo" and "SS," call out Soros’ Open Society racket as material support for chaos and salute Jillian Michaels for walking out on Patrick Bet-David’s clown show. Plus, we invest in crypto shamans, discuss "The X-Files" as the most honest deep state drama ever made and pray for the day the media stops laundering lies - because until then, the destruction of the West is the real conspiracy.
We eviscerate Europe’s collapse into Sharia appeasement - from Spain obviously taking Qatari money to try to ban Israel from football and Eurovision and the face of the earth (with warships and nuclear threats), to the corrupt UK "leaders" ignoring their own voters to chase the jihadi bloc. We skewer the UN’s terrorist circus celebrating butcher regimes, expose how universities have become Iran’s cult-recruitment grounds, and remind leftist students they’ll be the first ones fed to the flames once the mullahs take power. We hammer the media’s gaslighting of politically motivated shootings - erasing motives even when killers shout "Free Palestine" or write clear messages on their shell casings. We rip Alex Jones’ Hitler cosplay, call out Tucker and Candace for laundering blood libel as "patriotism" and slam doctors who drug kids before they even diagnose them. Plus, we wrestle with Trump’s Tylenol-autism controversy, demand real investigations into psychiatry, pollution and Big Pharma collusion, and warn that America’s second intifada won’t look like bus bombs in Tel Aviv - it may look just like the chaos we’re already seeing on our streets.
