Mamdani and Daddy

About this episode

Trump gives Iran and Israel a stern talking to, Pete Hegseth calls for a journalistic 23AndMe, and Zohran Mamdani ushers in the Great Libbing Out of 2025. On the show, John Leguizamo gets fired up, Anthony Carrigan and Aristotle Athari offer some good guesses about some very bad boys, and we all let freedom ring in honor of Independence Day, which required Lovett to explain Jar Jar Binks’ whole deal? Anyway, Happy Fourth of July, and see you in a few weeks!
