This week on No News Is News, hosts Alex R. Wagner and Kelly Cline dive deep into the explosive conflict between the United States and Iran. Following major US airstrikes on three of Iran's key nuclear facilities, the world is on edge, and the political fallout is just beginning.Join Alex and Kelly as they break down the most intense media moments, including Marco Rubio's heated "Brett Kavanaugh energy" interview, a fiery debate between Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson over AIPAC and the biblical justifications for war, and the varied reactions from politicians like Andrew Cuomo, Adam Kinzinger, and JD Vance.From sarcastically joining "Team Iran" to dissecting the "America, F*ck Yeah!" nature of the attacks, they cut through the noise of both mainstream and independent media. They also explore the deeper, often undiscussed historical and theological roots of the conflict, from the 1979 revolution to the biblical story of Jacob and whether the modern state of Israel truly represents the "Promised Land."Plus, they investigate a fan's tip about Benjamin Netanyahu's all-American education and fall down a rabbit hole of 9/11 conspiracy theories, questioning who really holds the power in the "unshakable alliance."If you're tired of the spin and want a raw, unfiltered, and often hilarious take on the news that matters, this is the episode for you.Chapters:00:00 - Intro: Iran's "Weaponization Ambitions"00:34 - Why Does Iran Need a Space Program?02:07 - "America, F*ck Yeah!": Reacting to the Airstrikes03:34 - Marco Rubio's "Brett Kavanaugh Energy"05:07 - Why We're Now "Team Iran" (Satire)07:07 - The Rise of Independent Journalism ("Mo News")09:26 - Media Spin & Political Fearmongering11:27 - The 1979 Iranian Revolution & The Rise of Theocracy14:42 - Is Anyone Telling the Truth?17:08 - What About Gaza?19:23 - Ted Cruz vs. Tucker Carlson: The AIPAC Debate28:06 - Ted Cruz's Biblical Justification for Supporting Israel30:41 - The Biblical Story of Jacob (Israel)33:24 - Are DNA Tests Banned in Israel?

Alex R. Wagner and guest, Kelly Virginia Cline, dive headfirst into a whirlwind of current events and bizarre tangents. The episode kicks off with a hilarious, albeit chaotic, attempt to get answers from a new AI chatbot, leading to a segment they dub "AI Congress."The conversation takes a sharp turn to the Middle East, with the hosts offering their unfiltered and often satirical takes on the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. They dissect speeches from political figures, questioning the narratives presented by the media and politicians alike. From there, the episode spirals into a wild discussion about everything from the Tuskegee experiments and the bubonic plague to celebrity encounters and conspiracy theories surrounding COVID-19 and Jeffrey Epstein's island.Just when you think it couldn't get more random, the hosts find themselves in a heated debate about pangolins, their trafficking, and their surprising connection to traditional medicine. The episode wraps up with a look at protests in Los Angeles and a spirited, and slightly intoxicated, debate about political allegiances and the state of the nation.Chapter Markers:0:00 - Intro0:28 - A New Pope?1:10 - No News Is News with Kelly Virginia Klein1:41 - What TV Show Would You Be On?2:50 - Netanyahu and the Bombing of Iran8:03 - Taking Sides8:54 - How Do You Solve the Middle East?9:32 - Operation Rising Lion13:16 - Netanyahu on Saddam Hussein14:31 - Little Saint James and the Fountain of Youth16:00 - Biden's Ransom to Iran18:15 - Inflation and the Price of Meat20:25 - Protests in LA22:50 - The Tuskegee Experiment and Vaccine Hesitancy25:20 - The Bubonic Plague and European Rats28:00 - COVID-19: Bat or Lab Leak?30:30 - The Pangolin Conspiracy35:20 - The ICE Raids That Weren't41:20 - A Bong, a Candle, and a Book of Matches45:30 - The Liberal Insurrection51:00 - Dave Chappelle's "8:46"53:25 - The End of an Era: Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon59:45 - Trump on the Iran-Israel Conflict1:01:45 - The Media's Orchestration of Fear1:07:55 - The Man Who Drank Horse Semen1:09:00 - JD Vance and Hillbilly Elegy1:14:00 - Tim Scott's Abandonment1:16:15 - AI Congress1:18:30 - Israel, We're Begging You, Stop1:21:45 - The Liberal Insurrection in California1:25:20 - Trump's Birthday Parade1:27:00 - Outro
