At a Nebraska rally, President Trump said "let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego," and Governor Newsom called him deranged and dangerous. We read the full quote line by line. Michael says it was about gas prices and the media knows it. Dakota agrees on the meaning but says he still owes San Diego an apology. You decide.
Then Lee Williams, the Second Amendment Foundation's investigative reporter, on Navy sailor Tate Adamiak. Tate was serving 20 years when Lee took his first call. Lee says he knew in two minutes Tate was innocent. Sixty stories later, Tate walked out with a presidential pardon, and Lee is now working through a list of about 20 more names.
Also this week: blank ballots on a road in Alpine. John Petrolino on AMM-Con and GRPC. A dad, two daughters and a stranger at the froyo shop, and what the comment section got wrong about using force. The crew's best president debate, which you get to judge. And Stump My Nephew.
