The Um, Sir Podcast

This week, Emily and Samie take on the chaos:

Epstein Files: Survivors demand transparency, Trump calls it a “hoax,” and MTG surprisingly shows up on the right side (for once).

Washington Wildfires: Border Patrol arrests firefighters mid-response—because apparently saving lives isn’t enough.

Minneapolis Shooting: A tragic school attack turns into transphobic scapegoating instead of tackling gun access.

Chicago Violence: 58 shot over Labor Day; Trump’s solution? Send in more armed men.

Local Spotlight: LifeWise Academy uses a constitutional loophole to pull Everett kids out of class for Bible study—complete with lawsuits, candy bribes, and indoctrination.

Topped off with Samie’s real-life rescue story from a violent encounter on the road, and a finale featuring Alex Jones in full meltdown mode.
