****NOTE: This episode was recorded before the events in-going Israel-Gaza conflict. As things are still fluid and unfolding, we will cover whatever new development arise in the upcoming weeks.

Jesse's got haikus this week for a very antifascist episode of the Epoch. That's right, suddenly there are Nazis everywhere and unsurprisingly, the media is doing all they can to rehabilitate them. Not good. Beyond that, we talk baseball, Biden at the picket line, Congress narrowly avoiding a shut down (again,) Striketober, Nagorno-Karabakh, and the death of Dianne Feinstein. As always, thank you for listening and please visit our Patreon: patreon.com/epicincredulity
