Welcome to Potsayev America. I'm John Favre.

I'm Dan Fifer.

On today's show, Joe Biden saves us from default with a budget deal that has some Republicans

furious at Kevin McCarthy. Ron DeSantis steps up his attacks on Donald Trump as Chris

Christie and Mike Pence get ready to jump in the race. And later, Congresswoman Barbara

Lee stops by Cricket HQ to talk about her campaign for the U.S. Senate seat in California.

But first, big news. Votsayev America has launched our fuck bands, leave queer kids alone

fund. This Pride Month Cricket is working to help raise $50,000 to support groups on

the ground in states that are banning care and targeting trans families, groups like

the Transgender Law Center, the Trans Justice Funding Project, and the Trans Youth

Equality Foundation. Head to Votsayev America dot com slash fuck bands to chip in. Also,

we want to share a sneak peak of, of course, sneak listen, I guess, not really a peak,

it's an audio format. Of Cricket's newest pod, it's called Dream Town, the story of

Adelante, which we are proud to say is an official selection at this year's Tribeca Festival.

Dream Town is the wild but true story of a down on its luxury city in the Southern California

desert. And the scrappy, sometimes dubious cast of characters determined to reinvent it.

Take a listen.

In 2014, Adelante, California, a small town in the Mojave desert was so broke, there was

gun-toting conservative hippie who had a wild idea to save Adelante.

I got on all Google, I did a little googling and I found out the secret.
