This week’s episode is packed tighter than Elton John’s spare key drawer. From late-night drama to global politics, we’re covering it all:

  • Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension and comeback after Disney panicked over a controversial monologue.
  • Hollywood’s all-star free speech defense, with 400+ celebs signing on.
  • Congress stumbling toward a government shutdown—because apparently deadlines are just suggestions.
  • Cardi B stepping in for The Weeknd at Global Citizen Festival.
  • Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce facing kid-pressure from Mama Kelce herself.
  • The Trump administration floating a Tylenol–autism link that scientists say doesn’t add up.

  • Elton John literally betting his house keys on new talent.
  • The U.K., Canada, and Australia recognizing a Palestinian state—Netanyahu, not thrilled.
  • Colin Farrell dropping an F-bomb over sandwiches on live TV.
  • Trump’s border czar caught in a bribery sting with $50K in a Cava takeout bag.
  • The Emmys pulling their biggest audience in years.
  • And “Stars on Mars” canceled before liftoff.

It’s a rollercoaster of free speech battles, political brinkmanship, celebrity chaos, and the kind of headlines that make you say: “Wait, did that really happen this week?”

This week’s headlines feel like they were written by a very confused comedy writer — so naturally, we’re here to make sense of them.

President Trump is back in the spotlight, threatening to send the National Guard into Chicago while floating a rebrand of the Pentagon as the “Department of War.” Meanwhile, ICE is assuring D.C. families there won’t be raids on the first day of school (what a relief, right?), and economists warn that tariffs could tack $2,400 a year onto the average grocery bill. If democracy doesn’t bankrupt you, Kraft cheese might.

It’s not just politics making things weird — nature is in on the chaos, too. Milwaukee was swamped by a “1,000-year flood,” turning the city into an accidental waterpark, while a flesh-eating parasite resurfaced in Maryland, reminding us that climate change doesn’t just melt glaciers — it melts skin.

On the cultural side, WWE RAW is hyping Clash in Paris, the US Open launched with a record $90M purse, and the ever-expanding Yellowstone universe announced yet another spinoff — while the legendary Barbara Eden showed us that at 94, she’s still magic in her genie pose.

And in the land of the absurd? Buckle up. WNBA games were interrupted by fans throwing green dildos onto the court as part of a crypto stunt (because of course they were). A crypto millionaire was kidnapped for Bitcoin ransom. An Aussie couple hit the lottery and walked away instant millionaires. Comedian Eddie Pepitone is back on tour, raging beautifully about modern life. And yes… adult pacifiers are now trending as a form of stress relief. Grown people, binkies in mouths, on TikTok. Welcome to 2025.

From National Guard deployments to adult-sized pacifiers, from Barbara Eden’s genie magic to dildos in the paint — it’s politics, parasites, and pure comedy fodder all rolled into one.

Let's kick off with Donald Trump's legal tango in Colorado, where he dances away with a court win. It's like watching a reality show, but the stakes are actual democracy, and the drama is disappointingly real.

Moving on to the Capitol, where Congress miraculously avoided a government shutdown. It's like watching a group of toddlers successfully bake a cake – messy, surprising, and you're just relieved the house didn't burn down.

And then, there's Joe Biden, hitting 81. In the White House, that's less 'elder statesman' and more 'antique with experience'. It's like your grandfather running a marathon – impressive, but you're slightly concerned for his wellbeing.

Speaking of wellbeing, Trump's health update is in! He's reportedly in excellent health, which, considering his lifestyle, is as baffling as finding out that Bigfoot is not only real but also your pilates instructor.

On to the courts, where the 8th Circuit's decision on the Voting Rights Act has us wondering if they're trying to make legal history or just confuse historians in the future.

Finally, we've got Biden pardoning turkeys, because nothing says 'American politics' quite like sparing two birds from becoming dinner. It's a tradition that's as whimsical as it is utterly, delightfully bizarre.

Guest: BandLab Artist of the Month, When The Sun SetsPlus: the recent Israel-Gaza conflict took a grim turn as Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, initiated an attack of unparalleled magnitude last Saturday. This offensive is labeled the most devastating Israel has seen in the last half-century. Tragically, over 900 lives in Israel have been lost. Concurrently, the Palestinian territories, including Gaza and the West Bank, report nearly 687 casualties. In a twist of international espionage and politics, former President Donald Trump's previous sharing of classified intelligence with Russian officials has been spotlighted, especially in light of the recent Hamas assault on Israel. The question lingers: Did Trump's intel leak play a role? Lastly, we switch gears to Trump's current legal battles. Drawing parallels to the notorious Fyre Festival's strategies, Team Trump appears to be banking on chaos rather than clarity. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/its-news-to-us/message

Former President Donald Trump made a courtroom cameo. With hair as defying as his defense, the trial kicked off with potential consequences that could send some of his prized real estate properties into the "you're fired" zone.

The government shutdown is officially...not happening. With a temporary deal in place, they've managed to keep the lights on... at least until November 17th. Consider it the legislative equivalent of "we'll just order pizza for now."
