Episode 33 – Floods, Fallout, and Foreign Firepower
In this episode of The Cigar Politico, we continue to discuss the devastating floods in Kerrville, Texas, and the state’s emergency response. Then we take aim at the latest controversy over the never-materialized Epstein list—and the political theater surrounding it. With Texas Governor Abbott calling a special session, we unpack what’s on the docket and why it matters. Finally, we turn to Europe, where the EU is buying U.S. weapons for Ukraine, raising questions about proxy wars, defense dollars, and global strategy.
Light a cigar and join us for straight talk, no filter.
