John and Gordy begin in usual fashion, with some chatter and the coverage of the National Day Calendar you depend on. We check in with Sam for Today in history, and give a preview of the Big Story to come in hour two: war plans, accidentally sent via text to a journalist. Later, we dive into Idiocracy, listening to a (probably fake, but not wrong) clip of JD Vance criticizing Elon Musk, and talk the Technocracy - Musk's long term plan for restructuring society around an authoritarian, tech-managed system - with him at the top. Wrapping up the hour, we get the latest news in deregulation: the Trump administration rolling back rules about water quality related to PFAS and herbicides.
