Back on the mic with tales of adventure, then Francesca Fiorentini's shout out on Leftist Mafia hits home, she spills tea about Ana Kasparian's debate with Pearl on Word War 1 and we revisit Glenn Beck's interview w/ Ana Kasparian as well as AI George Washington. We check in on the No Kings Rally before getting mad Trump's mail-in ballot hypocrisy and his disrespectful use of dead soldiers to sell merch before ending with brilliant insights about labor and work and why the wealthy are desperate to replace calore-based labor with electricity-based labor.
