Freewheelin’ Philistines

At this special gathering (we had two listeners, or friends hanging out) Isaac shows the boys a leftist "Israeli" settlement being built on stolen Palestinian land. Then they discuss how our beef, along with basically everything else we put in our bodies, is tainted now. Also, a white supremacist visited Minneapolis and got beat up by the local Spider Man. Isaac shows the guys how the Minneapolis police department was quite chummy with this white supremacist.Then the fellas get around to reviewing a listener recommended film, Guy Ritchie's The Covenant, which is basically a liberal imperialism film about the bond between a rather sloppy American soldier and the greatest Afghan to ever live. It sorta got us to discussing how terrible of an ally the American empire is. If you are outside of the US, don't be friends with us, we will backstab you whenever convenient.  Sources: https://x.com/ireallyhateyou/status/2092355555289407572https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/usda-recalls-30000-pounds-of-argentine-beef-sold-in-texas-and-floridahttps://www.startribune.com/shiloh-hendrix-found-guilty-in-racial-slur-case/601869221https://www.startribune.com/jake-lang-no-felony-charges-minneapolis/601882379https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/leaked-israel-reputation-survey-research-mark-penn-stagwellFree the political prisoners.Hosts: Shea, Justin, and IsaacEdited and Produced: IsaacIntro: "The Machine" by Jackson WhalanOutro: "Palestinian Resistance Song - Resist (قاوم)"

On this Isaac and Shea gathering, they discuss sports with fall seasons just around the corner (Ahhh sports, another thing that is cooked). They then discuss another US Navy ship having toilet and power outages in the South China Sea, and it being another example of American decline, and more denigration of the current American culture. Finally with the anniversary of the Dakota War of 1862 passing this week, Isaac shares the story of an Andrew Jackson Myrick, an American asshole who wanted to starve the Dakota people, and with it, his comeuppance.Sources:https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hanifundraiser_in-deir-al-balah-palestinians-just-built-activity-7495925070784139264-Xp0Shttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/11/extinction-caspian-tiger-release-female-kazakhstan-aoehttps://x.com/paustokra/status/2089545050468311426https://picryl.com/media/map-of-lower-agency-buildings-1862-b2eee0Here is the book I read about the Dakota War, in case you are interested.https://www.oupress.com/9780806164342/massacre-in-minnesota/Free the Political PrisonersFree the political prisoners.Hosts: Shea and IsaacEdited and Produced: IsaacIntro: "The Machine" by Jackson WhalanOutro: "Palestinian Resistance Song - Resist (قاوم)"

From a bombing at a Kuwaiti airport, the prospects of continuous war, what the left can learn from the Bolivian general strike, the self-own of AI economy, and finally an opinion piece on the Jacobin criticizing Chris Smalls, which drew our ire.https://speakoutsocialists.org/what-is-happening-with-the-general-strike-in-bolivia/https://www.fox4news.com/news/woman-arrested-facebook-post-concerning-trinidad-water-poisoninghttps://jacobin.com/2026/06/smalls-amazon-labor-organizing-celebrityhttps://www.dropsitenews.com/p/lebanon-ain-arab-israeli-military-hezbollah-displacement-trump-Check us out on BlueSky and let's get the Patreon going so we can make y'all some extra content!https://linktr.ee/freewheelinphilistinesHosts: Shea and IsaacEdited and Produced: IsaacIntro: "The Machine" by Jackson WhalanOutro: "The Machine" by Jackson WhalanFree the political prisoners.
