Tony Kornheiser talks about the future of the National Anthem. “Why play the national anthem anymore?” said Kornheiser. If we do get rid of the national anthem what would come next?

We have the six cops that were shot over night in our thoughts. Boston will have a free speech rally today around noon. Tony Kornheiser thinks that we should retire the national anthem and replace it with the Beach Boys? Raheem Kassam talks to Mike about Stephen Bannon and Breitbart London. Ben Sasse and Nebraska's future.

The NAACP of Georgia wants to remove all confederate symobls. How far will that go, and would it apply to every statue that was during that era? The NAACP is also wanting Kapernick to come back to the NFL, and until then they will not attend football games. 

Security is something that everyone wants as a strong feature when getting a new phone. Apple is planning on getting rid of the home button and bringing in this new facial recognition. With facial recognition taking over touch ID the new operating system for the iPhone can allow you to hard lock your phone from unwanted intruders.

Maria Chappelle-Nadal is the Missouri State Senator and is being told to resign after her tweet about the president. The tweet said Trump should be assassinated, but was soon deleted after. This is not the first time that we have covered her crazy antics, but will she really resign?

 Mike invites The Daily Wire’s Emily Zanotti back to discuss even more statues – some having nothing to do with the Civil War, let alone the Confederacy – being defaced. Saint Junipero Serra, a figure of devotion for Spanish speaking Catholics in California, had the word “murderer” spray painted across his monument this week. Mike wants to know where this ends.

Mike takes a moment to appreciate Judge Judith Sheindlin, better known as Judge Judy, who recently got a $95 million syndication deal. He goes to Judge Judy Law School every day and appreciates her wisdom in her books and her popular reality court program.

The New York City subway system is going to remove 90 year old tiles that look a bit like the Confederate flag. Mike assumes this means every other problem in New York is already taken care of, like the homelessness, rats all over the subway, and the summer scent of urine. He wonders where the grown-ups are to tell people "No."

HOUR 1 - Offensive tiles? Really, New York? The New York City subway system is going to remove 90 year old tiles that look a bit like the Confederate flag. Mike assumes this means every other problem in New York is already taken care of, like the homelessness, rats all over the subway, and the summer scent of urine. He wonders where the grown-ups are to tell people "No."
Billy Hallowell and Chik-Fil-Atheists? Billy joins Mike for the weekly Faithlift. They discuss the Chik-Fil-A going into the Atlanta Falacons' new stadium, imagining a great business opportunity if the Christian chain stays open on Sundays staffed entirely by atheists. Billy also talked about balloons filled with the Gospel of Mark -- sent surreptitiously to the people of North Korea -- and asks that Christians pray for, rather than judge, actor Chris Pratt.

HOUR 2 - BREAKING NEWS Bannon is OUT! Beauty Fades, Dumb is Forever. Mike takes a moment to appreciate Judge Judith Sheindlin, better known as Judge Judy, who recently got a $95 million syndication deal. He goes to Judge Judy Law School every day and appreciates her wisdom in her books and her popular reality court program.

HOUR 3 - Hitler wasn’t the only eugenicist On this day in 1941, Hitler “suspended” his eugenics program that had murdered over 50,000 mentally ill and handicapped children, in addition to the Jewish children he’d already had exterminated. Mike reports that the program was, in reality, simply transferred to Poland. As eugenics is practiced in Iceland to eliminate down syndrome, he asks we look at Margaret Sanger’s racist and ableist legacy of Planned Parenthood in the United States. 
The Slippery Statue Slope with Emily Zanotti Mike invites The Daily Wire’s Emily Zanotti back to discuss even more statues – some having nothing to do with the Civil War, let alone the Confederacy – being defaced.
