Hello and welcome to or welcome back to Colonial Outcast, the anti-imperialist podcast, that your problematic uncle, at least one of them, will hate.

So we weren't going to do an episode today. They take a lot of research and prep, but we felt like we couldn't not do an episode because President Orange Blob, aka Donald Rumpf, has said

some completely asinine and incendiary things, which he always does, but this instance is

about Gaza. And, you know, I spent like a lot of last night trying to allay people's fears

about it. And i just felt like we

had to do an episode where we talked about uh his remarks vis-a-vis gaza so i spent a lot of last

night again talking to people who were rightly terrified uh by what he said uh about the u.s occupying

and controlling gaza but now is not the time to freak out yet.

So we're going to have a freeform conversation about it, again, to allay some fears.

We being myself, Greg Stoker, former U.S. Army Ranger, during the ill-fated and ill-conceived Afghan war,

regular contributor, Travis, former field grade artillery officer in the fraudulent Iraq War,

and as always co-host, Mark Wayne, also a vet.

So look, how are you guys doing, first of all?

Thanks so much for taking the time to come on to an ad hoc episode that's not

planned at all. It's wonderful to be here, Sarge. You too, sir. Major. Major. I quit. I quit right now.

I'm done. Thanks, Mark, for like just making everything so cringe-worthy.

That's the E4 Mafia's job, baby.

I mean, I expected 2025 to start off as a circus.

I didn't expect it to be a total shit show.

But not this fast anyway.

But wow, yeah, right up the game.

There's so much stupid things happening and unprecedented things happening that we really can't address it all.
