Because I don’t. Transportation Secretary and his Fox News Host wife and their NINE CHILDREN go on a big, dumb road trip.

A MAGA Uncle Sam gets arrested for ‘raising his flag’ at the Great American State Fair. 20% of Americans are bailing on America’s 250 Independence Day.

Episode 85: JD Vance Loves Richard Nixon, Are The Reflecting Pool Vandals In The Room With Us Right Now? M&M’s Go MAHA, SCOTUS Screws Us, Killer Robots Have Arrived, The Worst President Ever Is…, Crappy Sunglasses, and more

Invisible vandals vandalize The Reflecting Pool. Are the vandals in the room with us right now? White guys gonna do white guy stuff, like still being mad at Taylor Swift. This time for enjoying herself at a basketball game. Don’t swim upstream from waterfalls. And if your sunglasses fall into a pit toilet, just go buy new sunglasses. The worst president ever is… I’ll give you one guess! Tucker Carlson and MTG bail on the GOP. The US military can’t beat the flu. RIP mail-in ballots? Mexico didn’t pay for the border wall and taxpayers are paying for the ballroom. JD Vance admires Richard Nixon. Because of course he does. Earthquake weather is here. SCOTUS wants Americans to get cancer. And maybe get shot. The Great American State Fair is missing several states. Also, the headliner was an opera singer who sang a song about sex. Oh, and Kash Patel’s girlfriend sang a passable national anthem. A jury can’t decide if the man who started the fire that became the Palisades Fire is responsible for starting the Palisades Fire. Some World Cup fans are homophobes. Stay classy, Mexico. The world’s loudest man is not your upstairs neighbor. Trillionaires come and trillionaires go. Just ask Elon Musk. M\&M’s go MAHA.

KTLA’s Business Reporter, the unstoppable David Lazarus, joins The Dumbest Story of the Week to talk about whether the rowdy and thirsty World Cup drinkers can save the slumping alcohol industry. Shoe company Allbirds re-hatches as Smartbird, rebrands as an AI infrastructure company, and investors love it. What? And after spending what could have been as much as $16 million dollars of taxpayer money to paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool what Donald Trump called ‘American Flag Blue,’ it is currently filled with algae and more of a deep Kermit green. Maybe we should rename it after Trump. We can use the letters that they just knocked off The Kennedy Center. The jokes just write themselves.

Republican Spencer Pratt gets bounced in a city where Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than two-to-one, but the system is obviously rigged. Heads we win, tails you lose! Everyone knows that all elections that MAGA loses are rigged. Have you ever wanted to have a scrotum the size of a grapefruit? If the answer is yes, you’re in luck, because something called ‘Ballmaxxing’ exists. Donald Trump shows up at an NBA Finals game in New York, gets booed by Knicks fans, and then falls asleep in a luxury box. Ahhhhhhh salesmen! (Rush is back). Bizarrely, assassinations get JD Vance in the mood, and that’s not creepy at all. The best worst burger in America. Is anyone surprised that Pete Hegseth isn’t good at history? And so much more.
