I'm A. G. And today with me is Jordan Cobbard.

Hello A. G. How are you Jordan? How's things?

Things are great. Yeah. Relatively. It's always relative. We always say that.

Forever relative. Yeah. For relative.

How are you? I'm good. It's hot out today. But I feel like it's just being amped up by the humidity that we're also feeling.

100% and we have a good show today. We have Natasha Bertrand.

She's going to come on and talk about the State Department memo. Internal memo that Politico got a hold of.

Although it was considered sensitive but not classified. Anyway long story and she'll be here to talk about that.

And of course we'll have the good news. If you want to submit your good news, head to dailybeanspod.com and contact and just select good news.

You can also submit your quarantine confessions there and any corrections you have.

And big show tomorrow. Former representative Katie Hill will be with us. So I'm just going to talk.

Didn't talk about her forthcoming book. I love her. I'm a huge admirer of hers. And of course Amy Carrero will be on with us.

And we'll have a few other discussions. Always the good news block as well. And don't forget our livestream meet and greet this week has been moved.

It is not on Friday. It is on Saturday and the theme is brunch. We're going to start at 11 a.m. Pacific time for patrons and open it up to the public at noon.

So I hope you join us. And if you accidentally pop on Friday, I'll probably be there for a few minutes to direct you to Saturday with those you know those airplane flashlights with the long orange sticks on them.

But I only have plastic lightsabers. So it's where you get those. Do they have some exclusive procurement access to those things. I've never seen anyone have them other than people at airports. You're so right.

Yeah, the old airports supply store. I guess. Yeah.

But we do have a lot of news to get to today. So let's hit the hot notes hot notes.

All right. Time for the hot notes. Jordan, you are up first. What is your first story of the day? Yeah. It's a story that everybody knows about probably feels into this podcast. Joe Biden was officially nominated as the Democratic candidate for president at the convention last night.

So that was I mean, I have so much that I could say about that second night. Did you get a chance to watch all of it yet? I did. It was so good. Dude, okay. I the John McCain shit. You know me. And anyone that follows me on Twitter knows me. I've been like bitching about things that y'all probably are like, hey, why don't you just hold the bitch from now? You know, but what?

And it's usually about the Republicans and how how they're being sort of like displayed at the convention and everything. But that that John McCain story and being delivered by Cindy, it was just so like I mean touching. It's it's the only word that I can really think to describe it. It's the best word. It was fucking it was just so like why can't why can't we be like that? I feel like the best.
