Comedian Juston McKinney visits ACS for the first time and they open by talking about Juston’s 7 years as a cop in rural Maine, including commandeering a snowmobile, and the dysfunctional childhood that inspired his TED Talk. They also discuss Adam’s attempt to check in on his Malibu condo, crashing in Dr. Drew’s pool house, and a California congresswoman’s conspiracy theory about the Altadena fire.

Next, Jason “Mayhem” Miller reads the news including stories about how California eco-bureaucrats halted a Pacific Palisades fire safety project to save an endangered shrub, LA Times owner saying that endorsing Karen Bass was a mistake, data showing LA Fire Department among the most understaffed in America, and Israel and Hamas agreeing to hostage release, Gaza cease-fire deal after 15 months of war.

Then, author Brad Meltzer returns to the show to talk about his new book, “The JFK Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill Kennedy”. They also discuss how America’s greatest threat has changed through the years, JFK’s World War 2 heroism, the two types of presidential assassins, why it’s impossible to predict the next terrorist plot, and giving the commencement speech at his alma mater.
