John begins the show by immediately getting angry, about Trump's presidential address last night. Luckily, Gordy calms him with the soothing National Day Calendar. Sam pitches in with some talk of The Doors for Today in History, and later, the three dive into Idiocracy, with more reflections on last night's address. We also touch on how Russian state TV is celebrating the "sawing to pieces" of the US, and cover the story from awhile back of MTG's take on the shooting of United Health CEO Brian Thompson. Closing out the first hour, we get a rapid-fire session of clips from John, all centered around inflation, tariffs, and the increasing economic burden for the American people.
