On today's episode...
Two podcasts dropping today. Our second one is a 40 minute interview with Donald Trump Jr which you can find the youtube video to here
- The DNC Convention is underway and has some VERY exciting speakers you can watch all ONLINE, including the Obamas and Clintons
- A rare inland hurricane named Derecho caused destruction in Illinois, Wisconsin, & Iowa this week, amongst other states. Buildings and crops were destroyed and President Trump is set to visit Iowa this week to survey the damage and send relief.
- President Lukashenko is holding strong to his "victory" in Belarus, telling protestors he will not leave office, at least “Not until you kill me.” according to Lukashenko. Will Putin step in to help him gain control?
- Covid is now responsible for the 3rd most deaths in the US, as testing numbers decrease and positive tests increase. The WHO also recorded the single most new Covid cases in a 24 hour period, so this thing ain't over by a long shot.
- The Army is using Twitch to recruit soldiers via their ESports program and are getting trolled by some tough guys hiding behind their usernames and computer screens.
- Death Valley National Park in California recorded the highest temperature ever on Earth. It was 130 degrees Fahrenheit, or 54.4 degrees Celsius.
- Kim Jong Un is rounding up dogs in North Korea, not because he wants to pet him, but because their is a foot shortage and wants people to eat them!
