This is our last episode before the 4th of July.

I hope you are enjoying time with your

family and do all the fun patriotic things coming up. I am here in Arizona. As you all know,

with friends and family and having basically the best time I've ever had. And I do not want to go

back to D.C. It's way better in Arizona. I'm sorry, everybody. It's just way better here

than it is there. And I could easily stay here with our lovely friends at this studio. I'll just stay here forever. I'm teasing. I will go back at some point. But we're having a really good time. And I hope you all, whatever you're planning on doing or having a good time too. This show today, we're very excited. We are going to have our friend Ryan Gerdesky coming on.

We have a lot of breaking news.

American patriotism is a record low, according to a new recent poll from Gallup.

Leah Thomas, the trans swimmer, has some very bad news come out of Penn yesterday.

Trump, Alligator, Alcatrazcatraz real fake what does it mean

um really wonderful polling for trump and then we're going to get into the mom and donnie of it all

because we have new information from trump about that and then i have a really really really

delicious poll and tweet from our old pal mayor pete uh i love it I can't wait to share with you. I don't know. Just how much he has not learned as he continues to want to run for president in 2028. All right. If you're listening on the podcast, you want to join us on Zoom. You can register to do that at 2way.tv slash Megan. And please don't forget to raise your digital hand. Oh, I'm sorry.

All right. We have Ryan here. Oh, also, sorry. Miranda is sick. Miranda is not feeling well. Miranda hasn't quit. Hello, Ryan. Every time Miranda isn't here, people are like, they've finally broken up. They're not friends. No, no, Miranda is like deathly ill. And I told her that she have to take a take a day off today. Ryan, I'm so happy to be here. Let me do your intro really quickly, even though everyone knows you. So Ryan is with the 1776 Project Pack. He is the author of the National Populous Substack and host of the Numbers Game Podcast. And you can follow him on X at Ryan Gerdesky. Brian, I'm so happy to talk to you right now. Thank you so much for doing this. I love talking to you. We're also personal friends. So like I feel like I should say that. Just really quickly, we have a lot to get into Republican politics and I want to dive really fast. But I got to show you this because it's just so delicious, okay? So I sent this to you. I texted this to you, but Pete Buttigieg, number

eight, please, over the weekend. He followed UFC on Twitter, like the ultimate, see that right

there? So he decided that he's going to follow UFC. Now I'm going to tell you why I think this is

hilarious. Number one, one time when I interviewed Mayor Pete, I asked him what he does for fun. And his answer, and this has been burned in my brain since it happened. He said Chasin is very good at charades. And even at the time I remember thinking, so you go home and you do charades with your, like, that's your

recreat.

Like, I don't understand.

Like, that doesn't sound real.
