This week's edition of Copeland's Corner, with featured Headliners  .

Brian is joined by comedians Greg Proops, Dan St. Paul, and Gini Sikes to discuss the current political landscape. The panel dives deep into the U.S. war with Iran — comparing it to Vietnam, debating four possible outcomes (withdrawal, ground invasion, nuclear escalation, or Trump's removal), and expressing concern over the lack of an exit strategy and the administration's shifting rationale. They discuss Russia's role in aiding Iran, the gutting of the FBI's counterterrorism divisions, and the real threat of domestic terrorism.

The conversation shifts to the Epstein scandal and whether the war has successfully pushed it out of the headlines, propaganda's effect on both educated and uneducated voters, and the psychology behind single-issue and grievance-based voting. Greg Proops delivers a passionate argument about white responsibility in right-wing electoral trends and the danger of political apathy.

The group also explores the Tig Notaro/Cheryl Hines friendship fallout over RFK Jr., the resurgence of measles due to anti-vaccine policies, Gen Z's nostalgia for the 1990s, the potential for left-wing radicalism, and the rising threat of antisemitism. The episode wraps with upcoming show plugs and a reminder to get vaccinated.
