Topic: Wormtongue

Using a "Lord of the Rings" analogy, the host compares President Trump to a king under the spell of "Wormtongue" advisors. Ben Shapiro is challenged to personally enlist in the Marines and fight in the Iran conflict he advocates for, rather than calling for the deaths of other Americans. The host claims his "spider-sense" is tingling regarding the extreme danger of the current nuclear war warnings from Russia.

The host uses the "Lord of the Rings" scene where Gandalf breaks the spell on King Théoden as a metaphor for the current state of America. He identifies the "Wormtongue" advisors as the true villains who are whispering into the King's ear to alienate his true friends. The goal of the broadcast is framed as "waking up" the leadership to the "trap" they have fallen into.
