Summary
OA1241 - This Rapid Response Friday:* everything you need to know to explain to anyone who will listen exactly why what the US is doing in Iran is illegal. We also review oral arguments in an unusual case involving the federal statute under which Hunter Biden was recently convicted which has brought weed, guns, and Amy Coney Barrett’s illegal Ambien habit (?) before the Supreme Court at the same time.
Finally, in today’s footnote: A man who drinks unpasteurized milk, swims in sewage, and once left a dead bear in Central Park has some opinions about what we should be putting in our coffee--and Matt might agree with him? Can RFK Jr really stop America from running on Dunkin?
---
*N.B.: this episode was recorded before the news of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s forced departure, but we’ll have plenty more to say about her and replacement nominee Markwayne Mullin next week!

| 0:35.8 | Hello and welcome to opening arguments. |
| 0:37.2 | This is episode 1241. I'm Thomas. That over there is a real-life Siegel. How are you doing? |
| 0:42.3 | Just in the middle of a Siegel party outside in Boston, Massachusetts. I feel a little miffed that I wasn't invited to the Siegel party. Me too. Yeah. Right outside. Didn't even knock. |
| 0:54.7 | It's funny. |
| 0:55.2 | I could hear that yesterday in the video recording as well, but we get on and Matt's like, um, there's some seagull, there's, there's just seagulls. There's a lot of seagulls.

And nobody has asked me under oath about my sexual relations today. So I'm doing even better than Christy Noam. Well, the day is young. Oh, wow. I missed that. What was that? Yeah, she was asked under oath if she's had sex with Corey Lewandowski. Oh, wow. She refused to answer that. Why was she asked that? Quite a day she's having. Quite a week she's having, actually, in front of Congress this week. I don't have time to cover it right now, but it might come back to it. Yeah, was that related to her airplane or something? I think it was at least somewhat related to that very nice bed that we all saw on airplane, yeah. It's like the Austin |
