Good people, what's up, what's up? It's Questlove. So recently I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with actress and producer Jamie Lee Curtis from Routines to Recovery, True Lies, and a certain Jermaine Jackson music video. Jamie's real and raw, and it's something I really admire about her. I am so happy that I'm the head in charge at 67, that I have the perspective that I have at my age to really be able to put all of this into context. Listen to The Questlove Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ready for a different take on Formula One?

I'm Clayton Eckerd. In 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor.
But here's the thing. Bachelor fans hated him.
If I could press a button and rewind it all, I would.
That's when his life took a disturbing turn. A one-night stand would end in a courtroom.

It doesn't help in terms of public perception when immediately after announcing in a pre-edited statement where you're wearing a baseball cap and, you know, something Sagar would be concerned about, and me too at this point, no tie, just, you know, at your golf club, just casually announcing that you're dragging us into another Middle Eastern war with China. No particular end game and, you know, no end in sight and already Americans dying in this war. Immediately afterwards, what do you do if you're president of the United States? Let's put this up on the screen. You put the tie on, actually, then after announcing the war and you go to your club with all of your multimillionaire and billionaire buddies to hang out and party and celebrate sending America's sons and daughters off to fight and die in an illegal way.
horrible, deadly, chaotic, disastrous war. So this was a million-dollar plate fundraiser he was hosting there at Mar-a-Lago in the hours after announcing this war. And so you can imagine that being one example of why perhaps Americans are not feeling so excited about this administration at this point, let alone this war that we've been dragged into. Put We've got some polling here now, early indications of support for this. Let's put D2 up on the screen. This is from Reuters, where their headline was just one in four Americans, 25 percent, supports U.S. strikes on Iran. So you can see the numbers there. And of all adults, you've got about 27 percent in support. You've got 43 percent opposed. I want you guys to understand how crazy, and keep these numbers up on the screen, how crazy this is.
I don't know if y'all have been watching cable news, but CNN and Fox in particular, oh my God, the pro-war propaganda is through the roof.
