June 30, 2025
WILLIAM SHATNER IS AT 12:10 And we normally don't do guests that early BUT IT'S WILLIAM SHATNER. Jimmy Sengenberger set up the interview so he's gonna come in and chat too. Don't miss this one.
THE NYC DEM CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR IS A COMPLETE IDIOT I didn't talk much about Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat candidate (and presumed general election winner) for NYC Mayor. But holy cow this guy is a clown. Check this out:
Mamdani’s mother is a world-famous, Academy Award-nominated Bollywood director worth tens of millions of dollars. His father is a chaired professor at Columbia.

He is, in effect, a perpetual theatre kid who’s pretending to be “Third World.” It’s all so, so performative + stupid. https://t.co/dO14GmFMDI
He's play acting poverty. Nice. Where is the Left calling him out for cultural appropriation? But you've got to hand it to Scott Jennings, who is clearly enjoying a little too much the Democrats of CNN trying to defend his insane policies.
Holy crap — CNN host has @ScottJenningsKY laughing in disbelief as he gaslights that Mamdani doesn’t want to tax white people when Mamdani specifically said he wants to tax white people.

JENNINGS: He literally wrote it in a statement, Omar. He literally wrote it down!

How bad are his policies? He wants to raise taxes on WHITE NEIGHBORHOODS. Lest you think I'm misrepresenting that, check this out:

Zohran Mamdani’s tax plan boils down to one thing: punish people who’ve worked their way into homeownership in “richer and whiter” neighborhoods — because in his world, race and class guilt are more important than fairness or economic competence.

This columnist says Mamdani's policies will be a return to the "bad old days" and he's not wrong but I have a hard time feeling sad for New Yorkers, they keep doing this to themselves. My issue is that if this clown wins, expect a Socialist to be the next mayor of Denver making all these same dumbass promises. If you think Denver is mismanaged now (and it is) just wait. It can get so, so much worse. He's even suggesting City run grocery stores. Because those have traditionally done so well. Look, here's what that might look like!
DENVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS I talked about the scheme set up by Denver Public Schools where they "sell" school facilities to an "outside" organization and then leases them back. It's shady as hell and DPS is hellbent on continuing the practice. They are being sued over it, and are now trying to argue that the outside organization is both a public entity and not a public entity. I'll let the Denver Gazette explain:
After arguing in court filings that its lease-financing structure is legal because a nonprofit organization — not the district — incurred the debt without voter approval, Denver Public Schools now contends the same corporation is a “public entity” entitled to governmental immunity from lawsuits.
The contradiction is more than semantics.
If the Denver School Facilities Leasing Corporation (DSFLC) is deemed a public entity, it would be subject to Colorado’s open records and public meetings laws, an attorney and a watch dog group said.
See, DPS has denied public records requests by arguing the DSFLC is NOT a public entity and therefore not subject to Open Records Requests. But now they are arguing it is. They can't have it both ways but I expect nothing from this incompetent Superintendent.
DICK WADHAMS ON DELUSION IN THE GOP If you run into Douglas County Commissioner George Teal please thank him for the belly laugh I got when he said that Chinese Communists were the ones funding the campaign against the rushed Home Rule initiative he instigated. He did this so he didn't have to answer any questions about who funded HIS side of the discussion if you ask me. Now Dick Wadhams does the Greatest Hits version of the Colorado Republican Party Conspiracy Theories and how those have worked out. I'm not sure how so many nutbars have gotten into power positions in Colorado but here we are.
THERE IS A KILL DONALD TRUMP FATWA And I'm sure some progressives are cheering this but it's nothing to be casual about, just ask Salman Rushdie. The Ayatollah, who is hella mad his nuclear toys got busted up, issued the fatwa this past weekend. Read more here. For a religion of peace Islamists sure like to kill people.
ABOUT THIS GAY BAKERY It's Pride Month so it's not surprising to me that we see stories featuring gay owned businesses. But something in this story caught my eye about a gay owned bakery:
Additionally, she said fundraising efforts are becoming more challenging due to the current political climate.
“We're not giving up. We continue to apply for and seek funding wherever possible, utilizing all available opportunities. But within the current climate that we're in, some of those funding opportunities have definitely dried up,” Wells said.
Fundraising efforts? Aren't you an up and running commercial business? Isn't "fundraising" at this point supposed to be profit? I'm genuinely confused by this.
WHEN PICTURES BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER This story got me this morning.
COLORADO CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE RICH PEOPLE GREEN SUBSIDIES And I am perfectly fine with this. Read more here about the EV subsidies that are being cut in half because Democrats have busted our budget with dumb crap like green subsidies.
I'M SUPER PROUD OF THE SIDE HUSTLE And you can see it here. We've been working hard on making the show better every time we do it and I think we're really hitting our stride now, I'd love for you to check it out!
THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK And though this column tells you this bill will usher in a new era of prosperity I would take that with a grain of salt. Leave it to Thomas Massie to tell us what it DOESN'T do:
You were promised the Big Beautiful Bill would do these things but it does NOT:
— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) June 29, 2025
❌ Prohibit welfare for illegal aliens
❌ Stop funding sex changes for kids
❌ End registration of suppressors
❌ Defund planned parenthood 10 yrs
❌ Implement REINS Act
❌ Reduce the deficit
But I'm sure it will be fine. I'm sure.
A GOOD POINT ABOUT DRIVERLESS CARS AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR This is a really good point. But I'm still ready for driverless cars so I can sell my car and just do that instead.
OK, this is an original and good point.

A LONG ABUSED ENVIRONMENTAL RULE HAS NOW BEEN CURTAILED And thankfully it might get easier (and therefore less expensive) to get projects done now that the Supreme Court has (once again) reined in a rule long abused by environmental activists to delay any project they don't like long enough so those trying to do it will just give up. Read more here.
ABOUT THOSE NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS That the Left is up and arms about now that the Supreme Court says Federal judges don't have the right to issue them to stop policy of the President, how soon they forget. This column lays out all the times the Left HATED nationwide injunctions when they were used against Biden. Federal judges overstepping their power is bad no matter who is in charge.
IF YOU'VE GOT TICKETS TO SEE BOBBY VYLAN A rap group from the UK, I wouldn't get too excited. It seems likely their visa will be cancelled after their performance at Glastonbury where they lead the crowd in a chant of "Death, Death to the IDF" which you can see below:
“Death, death to the IDF” chanted from the stage by Bob Vylan in front of 200k people at @glastonbury.

That may be the reason that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reviewing his visa application. Rubio's office had this to say:
“As a reminder, under the Trump Administration, the U.S. government will not issue visas to any foreigner who supports terrorists,” the senior official said.
Good. It's time there were consequences for such things and I hope the cancellation of all those concerts stings really, really bad.
ARE YOU COOL? I have never felt cool even though I've been told by some I am. I'm essentially an internal dork, a nerd, a weirdo when you get right down to it. But maybe I possess a few things that make me cool. You can find out what those things are here.

WE ARE RACKING UP LOADS OF CREDIT CARD DEBT And those payments and interest are probably making our financial positions much, much worse. Read here about our $1.21 TRILLION in credit card debt. Then call American Financing to take control of your debt.
CANADA IS BACK AT THE TRADE TABLE After ditching their dumbass plan to tax our tech companies. Trump ended trade negotiations with Canada over the tax and look who caved. Now we're all back at the table.
