Summary
If you thought the government couldn't get any more surreal, think again. Stephanie Miller unpacks the legal gymnastics of Cash Patel as he faces down "excessive drinking" allegations with a quarter-billion-dollar lawsuit that The Atlantic seems more than happy to fight. But the real "magic" is happening at the Navy. Why was Secretary John Phelan escorted out under the cover of darkness? And is the incoming Hung Cho really bringing hexes to a gunfight? Stephanie navigates the crumbling structure of U.S. military leadership and the ongoing volatile situation in the Middle East with the cynicism and wit the moment deserves. It’s the news you need, minus the boring bits. With guests Dr. Redlener & Dana Goldberg!

| 0:00.0 | Well, if you are heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, you're taking a risk |
| 0:05.1 | most people don't even think about until it's too late. Getting sick right before vacation can derail |
| 0:10.2 | everything. And when you're traveling, finding a doctor and a pharmacy is stressful. |
| 0:15.0 | That's why I ordered a medical emergency kit. It's like having urgent care and a pharmacy |
| 0:19.9 | right in your home. It includes |
| 0:22.1 | essential prescriptions like amoxicillin and generic Z-PAC to treat a wide range of common and |
| 0:27.8 | serious illnesses. So if you wake up sick at home or on the road, you already have what you need, |
| 0:33.1 | no waiting for the doctor, no hours at urgent care, no pharmacy lines, no co-pays. Just match your |
| 0:38.9 | symptoms to the right prescription in your guidebook or call their telemedicine doctors standing by. |
| 0:44.1 | Start your med sooner, feel better, faster. Order yours online in minutes. It is shipped right to your |
| 0:49.2 | door and save $45 with my promo code Stephanie at urgent care kit.com slash Stephanie. That's promo code Stephanie |
| 0:57.3 | at urgent care kit.com slash Stephanie. You know, I used to think a mattress was just furniture |
| 1:03.1 | until I got my ghost bed. Got to tell you, the temperature's been all over the place here in Los Angeles, |
| 1:08.6 | maybe where you are too. Every mattress is temperature |
| 1:11.2 | regulating and so comfortable. Ghost bed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build engineered |
| 1:16.3 | sleep systems. Their beds are serious health equipment. Bed's designed for relief and recovery, |
| 1:21.3 | not looks, not fluff. Your body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. |
| 1:25.5 | I notice the difference right away. If you're waking up stiff, tossing and turning, sleeping hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping, oh, tonight'll be different. That's not aging. That could be your mattress talking. And here's another thing. I love about ghost bed. You get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't feel the difference, you can send it back risk-free. |
| 1:44.5 | No more doing that dumb few-second mattress test in a mattress store. GhostBed is offering my audience |
