Happy July 3rd, day before America Day, July 4th. We all just got back from the 250 Fair here to give you a weekend Friday show. Ryan, you were actually at the fair, right? I did. I went by. They would not let me bring in a backpack or my bike. And I was meeting someone who had another backpack there. So I went in very briefly, just left the backpack there.
How are establishment Democrats responding to Zohran Mamdani?
They're like, yeah, that's fine. I'm like, really? I can just leave?
You can leave it there, but you can't bring it in? That seems counterintuitive.
The funny thing is, is that there were many, many, many fewer people inside the fair than outside of it. So it's like, who are you protecting? Like, there's nobody in here. You couldn't do a mass shooting. There isn't a mass in there. You can commit a crime. There isn't a mass. But there's no mass shooting going on in there. They just didn't want you to spark up, you know? Yeah, I guess so.
What implications arise from Israel's stance on journalist casualties?
They must protect the reflecting pool at all costs.
There was a band on the stage and two people sitting in chairs watching them.
Oh, my God. Plus, it's like a million degrees outside. That doesn't help the situation. Yes.
And that's all comical, but yesterday there was this footage of a massive piece of equipment falling on the stage right behind the dancers, which is the kind of thing that kills people when you use kind of non-union labor that isn't following the rules of putting a stage together. Like, that stuff really matters. Like, a 200-pound piece of equipment falling on you? Yeah, right here from that distance. Oh, my God. That would kill a hundred people. And at a normal event, that thing would stop and be shut down until they figured out why that happened. They just kept dancing. Look at that.
What does the breach of the Intercept's tip line mean for journalism?
Look how many people that would kill. That is terrifying. Keep dancing. Wow. Wow. Incredible. Well, you know, there's a lot of festivities in the air, but like these performers, we also must keep dancing. We've got a big show. We don't know that. To be clear, though, Griffin, we don't know, like the reflecting pool, that a lib didn't cut that part of the stage off. There was a gash. True. A strong gash. The vandals are everywhere. Yeah.
How is Palantir's CEO reacting to recent criticisms?
Did you guys see the lady who was like, it was too hot. I started seeing stars, but I managed to find the baptism tent and take a dip in the pool and remind myself. So people are having extraordinary experiences at this fair.
Julian is going for drop flight again later today. We'll have his package, I'm sure, at some point next week.
Poor Julian. He needs hazard pay. It's too frigging hot out there.
He's trying this to himself. This is not on us.
Okay. All right.
All right. Well, Julian, avoid any head injuries if you can. But yes, it is 4th of July.
What are the concerns surrounding rising barbecue prices?
We're going to be looking at some job numbers, some barbecue prices for anyone who is grilling this weekend. We're going to be looking a little bit into how one Zoran Mamdani is becoming the Democratic Party power broker, giving advice or potentially therapy to a slate of 2028 hopefuls. We have Alex Karp. crashing out on live television. Ryan is going to take a look at an interesting tip line hack story that's been occurring at the intercept. And then Ryan, don't we have a journalist coming on the show? Well, we have the publisher of Dropsite News, which that means runs basically the business side and operations. She was basically kicked off the Committee to Protect Journalists board.
