Cameron and Ray crack open the popcorn for a free-wheeling hour on the sudden Musk-Trump bromance breakup and the “one big beautiful bill” (HR 1). They riff on Roman triumvirates, oligarch knife-fights, and the sneaky Section 70302 that could neuter America’s courts overnight. Along the way they detour through the Byrd Rule, unleash dystopian what-ifs about AI, and ask whether the U.S. can out-collapse ancient Rome for speed. It’s equal parts history lesson, constitutional autopsy, and late-night pub rant—served with extra swearing and zero deference.

"With just two weeks left until the election, Vice President Harris still won’t clearly say what she’ll do differently from Biden to end the U.S. taxpayer-funded slaughter of Gaza’s civilian population. Every poll shows the American people want a ceasefire now. If that’s what the people want, and you want to be their president, why won’t you support what the people want? They don’t want us to be Netanyahu’s bank and arms dealer. Why is that so hard to understand? Why are we risking losing Michigan and the election?

Kamala. Please."

If your podcast app still isn’t showing the latest episode, try deleting the feed and then adding it back. I just had to do that in overcast.

So I've posted this week's episode into the free feed. Just open your podcast app, search for Bu****it Filter, and add the free feed and it should show up (in a couple of hours).

The media coverage, and Western government commentary, of Israel's pager and walkie-talkie attacks in Lebanon have studiously avoided the use of the word "terrorism", even though that's what all of the world's human rights organisations are calling it and what we all know the media and governments would be calling if it any other single country did it. Today on the show we break down why.

The controversies and hypocrisies clouding the US's dance with TikTok and its awkward stance at the UN over Palestine, the US's veto power against Palestine's UN bid and the complex support web for Israel, parallel discussions tear into Australia's online safety efforts and the biased battleground o...
