7/22/20261 hr 32 min
More US casualties in the war with Iran, the State Department's new neo-McCarthy Cuba blacklist, and the UK gets a new Prime Minister while CPAC Great Britain flops.
Tommy and Ben discuss reports that the Pentagon has been covering up the full extent of casualties associated with the war with Iran, the impact of the Houthi rebels potentially getting involved in the conflict, and Trump’s threat to bomb a new Iranian nuclear site. The State Department released a new report blaming everything Marco Rubio doesn’t like on Cuba, and the guys read it* so you don’t have to! (*skimmed it) Then they discuss the national security risk from prediction markets, Trump’s decision to slap new tariffs on Canada as its forests burn, and new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s first days in office. Finally, the guys take you to the first CPAC Great Britain, and discuss Count Binface’s deep-space bid to defeat Nigel Farage. Then Tommy speaks to Oleksiy Sorokin, Deputy Chief Editor for the Kyiv Independent, about the latest barrage of Russian ballistic missile strikes and protests in Ukraine over Zelensky’s military staffing decisions.

Pod Save the World is brought to you by Remi. The state of the world being what it is, we can all find ourselves clenching our teeth now and again. But prolonged bouts of involuntary teeth clenching and grinding can cause serious issues. That's why over 350,000 Americans use a custom night guard by Remi to protect their teeth. Remi night guards are the only FDA cleared and clinically tested at home impression kit night guards on the market. Not only do they help prevent teeth damage from grinding, they also help reduce jaw tension and facial muscle strain, and improve your sleep quality. You'll get the same professional quality and comfort as a night guard you might get from the dentist for 80% less of the cost by taking your own impression at home from your house. I've been a Remi customer for years, way, way, way before they were ever a sponsor on this show. It's a great experience. What happens is they send this impression kit to your door. You follow their step-by-step instructions to get an impression of your actual teeth. You then send it back to them. They create and then ship you a custom fit night guard so you can just start wearing it at home. Uh, and it's way, way cheaper than other options. You don't have to go to a dentist, which is great. It made a huge difference for me. I was no longer waking up with jaw pain or teeth grinding, or you just like feel the tension going through your head. And they'll send you a new one if you want every six months, so you know, you're not just holding on to some old kind of nasty night guard forever. You get a new one, and you don't have to do anything about it. You don't have to, like, go back to the dentist. Protect your teeth with Remi by using the code PSTW to get 55% off your new night guard from now until the end of August with
