On Labor Day weekend episode of Razor Wire News, McShane and Fitz open with beer banter and off-color merch jokes before diving into the week’s topics: Canadian PM Mark Carney complains that Americans should stop “doing memes,” prompting an avalanche of AI edits and Carney quickly signaling he’s ready to talk trade; he was “memed into submission.” They discuss a juvenile-but-funny White House drop of five retro arcade-style games (including a Tetris-like one) and note Tetris is unhappy about copyright, while arguing border enforcement is still a serious issue. They slam Bernie Sanders’ bill to ban AI as anti-American in an arms-race with China, joking they’d rather face an “American AI terminator” than a Chinese one. Later, they roast the 2026 Socialism Conference in Chicago (2,600 sign-ups), highlight a speaker arguing the left should stop trying to be “fitter than the fascists,” and trace funding to major foundations including Tides, Rockefeller, Ford, and others. They revisit Nepal’s catastrophic flood via meteorologist Chris Martz, rejecting climate-change blame and calling it bedrock collapse and reporting effects, then pivot to UN climate messaging, geomagnetic-field theories, El Niño, a hurricane-less Atlantic, and multiple Indonesian volcanic eruptions around Krakatau. Jefé drops in with a “Farm Report” about the pistol shrimp’s cavitation “shot” (218 dB, extreme heat, flash of light). The episode also detours into the WNBA commissioner “retiring,” Hunter Biden’s “48.6% gay” remark, Ryan Reynolds’ comments about the ’80s while promoting “Mayday,” and a viral video classifying movies by political ideology, before closing with standout beers and a call to think critically.
