The Fat Electrician Reaction: America Obliterates Half of Iran’s Navy in 8 Hours

We’re reacting to The Fat Electrician’s incredible breakdown of Operation Praying Mantis, the 1988 confrontation that turned into one of the most significant U.S. Navy surface actions since World War II.

After the USS Samuel B. Roberts struck an Iranian mine in the Persian Gulf, the United States launched Operation Praying Mantis. What followed was an intense day of naval combat involving Iranian oil platforms, warships, A-6 Intruders, missile exchanges, and the USS Enterprise.

Along the way, we react to the history, the unbelievable moments, the humor, and the sheer scale of what happened in just a matter of hours.

John Hinckley Jr. 10 Years After Release: Reagan, Jodie Foster & What Changed

Ten years after John Hinckley Jr. left St. Elizabeths Hospital, his attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan remains one of the most remarkable chapters in modern presidential history.

In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we revisit the events that led John Hinckley Jr. from an obsession with Jodie Foster to stalking President Jimmy Carter, an airport arrest involving firearms, and ultimately the March 30, 1981 assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan outside the Washington Hilton.

We also discuss Hinckley’s surprising connections to Ardmore, Oklahoma and Highland Park, Texas, his fascination with Taxi Driver, the warning signs before the Reagan shooting, his insanity verdict, his 2016 release from St. Elizabeths under restrictions, and the later removal of those restrictions.

A recent interview has once again brought Hinckley and his fixation on Jodie Foster into the spotlight. Nearly half a century after the shooting, one difficult question remains: should the public consider John Hinckley Jr. rehabilitated, or does his history still give you pause?
