Episode 4: The Contra Circus

This week, Cathy and Royal tumble headfirst into the three-ring mess that was the Iran-Contra Affair. Spoiler: it’s less “national security strategy” and more “political clown car.” We’ve got secret arms deals, shady cover-ups, and the Reagan administration juggling lies like flaming batons. By the time Ollie North struts onto the stage in his uniform, it’s basically Barnum & Bailey with subpoenas.

Come for the history lesson, stay for the snark. Because nothing says “land of the free” like selling weapons to your sworn enemies and funding an illegal war on the side.

Step right up, kids. The circus is in town.
