The Shipwreck Show Ep. 79: Midterm Bloodbath, Dinosaur Dragons & the Israel Lobby

The day after the midterms, Shipwreck opens in her kitchen, showing off the new Vezuri collapsible cooling rack from CannCon and Christy and previewing her nostalgia Christmas cookie boxes and Christmas-morning cinnamon roll packs. Then she turns to the results. JD Vance now says the war, Israel, prices and America First cost Republicans the election, and Shipwreck asks why nobody said so before the vote instead of calling non-voters doomers. She takes on Benny Johnson and Dan Bongino's change of tune, Iowa's record mail-in turnout, a lame-duck Congress, and her prediction that AI will be running the country within a few years. Along the way she plays a theory that T-Rex was really a dragon, the Chosen season 6 trailer controversy, a bartender's rant against being asked "did you vote?", and a viral rant about politics as a day-trading circus. Later she covers the Israel lobby's hold on both parties, why she thinks something changes people once they reach Washington, and her "maybe" approach to this week's plane crash near Mar-a-Lago. She closes on abortion, what taking the Lord's name in vain really means, and why politics shouldn't become your whole identity.
