Today, we're taking an unfiltered look at Donald Trump's plans for our military. Will having more parades and fewer generals keep us safe in the dangerous world we have? Also, can the administration truly make America healthy again by cutting $800 billion from Medicaid? Plus, there's trouble over the skies of Newark.
Alcatraz is poised to return, and the president doesn't know if he has to follow the Constitution. This is Truth in the Barrel. I'm Amy McGrath, along with my co-host Denver Riggleman from Dubai. How's Dubai, Denver?
Dubai is warm and sandy. But I tell you, the people are great. I was just in Abu Dhabi today. I'm back in Dubai. So thank you, Amy, for your patience with me broadcasting from the United Arab Emirates about what's going on. So I really appreciate that.
Well, Denver, you are the international man of mystery, so you're pretty much all over the place, and it's great to do this show with you. We have an exciting announcement. We're so excited to announce our new weekly live show, which is happening starting on June 10th. It's called Cask Us Anything, and it's going to be the most distilled version of Truth in the Barrel.
It's just Denver and I talking about the news of the day, answering your questions. and, of course, having a lot of fun with whiskey. So please join us on Tuesday, June 10th, from 7.30 to 8.30 Eastern Time. Can't wait.
You know what it is, Amy? It's like the whiskey thief. When you put it in the barrel and draw it out, it still has the char in it. It tastes so good, but you still got that black char from the barrel. That is what it's going to be like on Cascas Anything.
But if you want to be protected from this dangerous world, as Amy said, and you want to see all this incredible stuff that we're doing, you have to subscribe. You got to go to your favorite podcast. You got to download us or you got to subscribe on YouTube. You better be following us on the socials or even on True Social.
So in order to get this incredible content to see two beautiful people in action, you got to go out there and subscribe. So you better go do it now.
Yeah, and if you want to participate in that live show, you're going to have to do it on YouTube because that's how it works, at least initially on the chat function there. So stay tuned. In June, we're coming at you live. Now, let's talk whiskey. That is very important, okay? It always is. So today, I am drinking one of my faves. This is Andean Black Corn Whiskey, Denver. It's from Lima, Peru.
