The Fues is Lit

Even in death, Abraham Lincoln couldn't rest easy. In this bonus episode of The Fues Is Lit, we dive into the bizarre 1876 plot to steal Lincoln's body from his tomb. From counterfeiters and grave robbers to undercover operatives and a botched heist, we uncover one of the strangest chapters in American history. Plus, why wasn't George Washington's body safe either? Sometimes, history really is stranger than fiction.

How did the United States and Iran reach the brink of war—and could it have been avoided?

In Episode 2 of The Fues is Lit, we begin with an in-depth examination of the Iran nuclear conflict, breaking down the negotiations, competing demands, and diplomatic breakdowns that ultimately gave way to military confrontation. From the collapse of nuclear diplomacy to Israel's military operations, America's Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury, and the growing consequences across the Middle East, we explore how the conflict escalated and what's at stake for the United States, Iran, and the rest of the world.

But to truly understand how we got here, we have to go back in time.

We rewind more than 70 years to examine the deeper roots of U.S.–Iran tensions, beginning with the CIA-backed overthrow of Iran's prime minister in 1953. From the Shah's rule and the Iranian Revolution of 1979 to the American hostage crisis, the Iran–Iraq War, and decades of political hostility, we connect the historical events that helped shape today's conflict.

Could diplomacy have prevented this war? What does each side want? And how much of today's hostility can be traced to decisions made generations ago?

Join us as we move beyond the headlines, explore competing perspectives, and uncover the history behind one of the world's most consequential geopolitical conflicts.

Because on The Fues is Lit, the conversation is always heating  up.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Fues is Lit, where politics, history, law, and current events collide!

In this debut episode, we're diving into some of the biggest stories making headlines. With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, we break down the battle for control of Congress, the key Senate races to watch, and President Trump's controversial $5,000 payment proposal. Is it a legitimate economic policy, a political strategy, or something that raises legal questions about influencing voters?

We also turn our attention to the escalating conflict with Iran, examining the latest developments in the war, Trump's decision to pause additional military strikes until after the midterms, and what it could mean for American foreign policy. Plus, we explore reports of Iranian-linked operatives using AI chatbots to create fake journalists and plant misleading news articles. How can we separate fact from fiction when artificial intelligence makes misinformation easier to produce?

Then we head to the Supreme Court for a fascinating legal battle involving oil companies, climate change, and states' rights. Can states use their own laws to hold energy companies accountable for climate-related damages, or does federal law take precedence?

And that's not all. We're talking about the economy, the rising cost of housing, international justice, and the growing debate over artificial intelligence regulation.
