Episode 1211 – I Will Say It: They Are Cheating!

More good news comes from the economy.

The cheat is complete in Los Angeles and Donald Trump has something to say about it.

And the Left is doing all it can to ruin the country’s 250th anniversary.

Things Are Getting Better

Segment 1 – The “strong” jobs report that doesn’t fix your grocery bill (2:00–12:00)

  • Summarize The Post Millennial story on 172,000 jobs added in May, beating expectations, and unemployment at around the mid‑4% range.
  • Contrast headline numbers with lived reality: persistent inflation, gas, groceries, and housing strain, and how administration allies will spin the report versus skeptical economists.
  • Angle: “Bidenomics vs Trump era vs now” in terms of labor participation, real wages, and underemployment, and how media cherry‑pick whichever datapoint serves their narrative.
  • Listener takeaway: encourage people to look at real wages and participation, not just “jobs added this month.”

The Fix is Complete in L.A.

Los Angeles Mayoral race:

  • Karen Bass – 34.3% – 276,000
  • Nitya Raman – 28.5% – 230,000
  • Spencer Pratt – 25.8% – 208.000

The California Gubernatorial race:

  • Xavier Bacerra – 27.7% – 2.178 million
  • Steve Hilton – 25.1% – 1.975 million
  • Tom Steyer – 22.4% – 1.759 million

1.6 million voted remain to be counted.

Segment 2 – California’s relaxed voter registration IDs (12:00–24:00)

  • Walk through the report that California allows voter registration using non‑photo IDs like gym cards, insurance cards, or employer IDs, which do not verify identity or citizenship.
  • Explain, in plain language, what is and is not being checked: residency vs citizenship vs simple possession of a card; how this interacts with motor voter and same‑day registration.
  • Contrast with stricter models (photo ID, proof‑of‑citizenship) that advocates in other states push, using something like the SAVE America Act conceptually for comparison.
  • Angle: federal vs state control of election standards; how loose documentation regimes in a deep‑blue state affect national politics through House seats and electoral votes.

Why’d He Do It, Anyway?

They Want Misery Only

Segment 3 – Lawsuit to stop the UFC “Freedom 250” on the White House lawn (24:00–36:00)

  • Summarize ESPN’s reporting: a federal lawsuit by a veteran and a civic activist seeks an injunction against the UFC card on the South Lawn, timed to Trump’s 80th birthday.
  • Outline the claimed legal issues: use of federal parkland for a private sporting event, alleged failure to get proper congressional authorization for construction on the lawn, and NEPA/environmental‑review claims.
  • Political angle:
    • Is this genuine concern about precedent for private commercialization of the presidency and public property?
    • Or lawfare and bureaucratic resistance against Trump’s attempt to merge populist spectacle with presidential power?
  • You can riff on sports‑washing vs populist entertainment: compare to Obama’s celebrity concerts or Biden events vs a UFC card at the White House.

Key Facts

  • The lawsuit was filed by the Public Integrity Project in federal court in Washington, D.C., seeking to halt the June 14 UFC card and related events, including a weigh‑in at the Lincoln Memorial.
  • Plaintiffs argue the Department of the Interior and National Park Service violated their own regulations by allowing a private sporting event on public property and by permitting construction of the UFC’s “claw” stadium structure on the South Lawn without the congressional authorization required for building on federal parkland.
  • The suit also claims the government failed to conduct an environmental review for a “major federal action” affecting the South Lawn, and that the temporary America‑250 rule for semiquincentennial events does not apply because the card is really a celebration of the UFC and President Trump’s 80th birthday, not Independence Day.
  • Brendan Ballou, lead attorney for the group, calls the event a “profound misuse” of national monuments for private gain and says they want to stop the fight, the weigh‑in, and the permanent installation of the claw structure, framing it as an anti‑corruption action rather than an attack on MMA.
  • A statement from the Trump administration and event defenders calls the case an “obstructionist, baseless, and dilatory lawsuit” meant to block what they describe as a historic sporting event that is comparable to other White House and National Mall events permitted under existing rules.

That’s Just Gross

Segment 4 – HelloFresh Pride ad backlash and corporate virtue‑signaling (36:00–48:00)

  • Summarize the Daily Wire coverage: a HelloFresh Pride Month ad that conservatives found “repulsive” and “sickening,” sparking calls to cancel and boycott.
  • Describe the ad’s general theme (without replaying it verbatim) and why critics say it targets kids, sexualizes identity, or crosses a line from inclusion to ideological promotion.
  • Place it in the trend of corporate Pride marketing, Bud Light, Target, and the question: are these campaigns driven by sincere belief, ESG/HR pressure, or fear of activist backlash?
  • Note the asymmetry: corporations often calculate that upsetting conservatives costs less than upsetting activist employees, media, or key coastal markets.
