This isn't a full episode, but just a short rant about the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony and what a missed opportunity it was to give the world a message of unity and hope. Instead, it was a display of narcissism and European insularity.

This is the recorded audio of a Twitter Space held by the America Watchers (Carl Zha, John Pang, and Teen) on July 19 to talk about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the selection of JD Vance, and the return of traditional "honor politics" in America.

This includes the discussion between Carl, John, and Teen. There was a lot of discussion with listeners in the Space which is available on the Patreon feed.

The second installment of a series whereby Teen gets into a public verbal confrontation, Shan records it, and then the couple reviews it like it's Inside the NBA. What was done well, what could be done better, and whether all of this nonsense could have been avoided.
