This week we're jumping in the Righteous Media time machine and traveling way way back to Episode 78 from September 24, 2020 with Stephen Colbert. It's a great conversation and one we think you'll enjoy revisiting. 🎙🚨

Ugh. What a wild, thrilling and terrible game. The Yankees will never go anywhere if they don’t fix all these defensive problems.👎🏼

And America just got even dumber. Much dumber. Just like they want it.🚨🇺🇸

Had to happen sooner or later.

Another week at the Pentagon draws to a close with no routine news briefing.

Last one: July 2 by Sean Parnell

Previous ones:

March 17 (Parnell and Lt. Gen. Grynkewich)

June 22 (SECDEF Pete Hegseth and Gen. Caine)

June 26 (Hegseth and Caine)

Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson has held zero.

During a missile strike on Kyiv, two schoolgirls and their mother were killed.

Their school announced that Alina and Anastasia Humeniuk died along with their mother. They were internally displaced people from Donbas who had sought refuge in the capital. Russia found them and killed them there.

“Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that, upon other fields, on other days, will bear the fruits of victory.”

-General Douglas MacArthur, USMA Class of 1903

Thank you, West Point. For an unforgettable, formative and deeply inspiring week.🇺🇸

Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American History Museum A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

YET ANOTHER WAPO SCOOP:

Hope is not a plan. AVU is.

44% of Americans don't think we're doing enough to support Ukraine, but that's not enough to break through. We need to ramp the pressure up—in Congress, the White House, locally at home, in the media and online.

Russia has claimed the lives of more innocents with yet another horrific missile and drone attack on Kyiv, killing six people, including a six-year-old boy, and injuring over 50. Don't look away. Have their backs. Join the fight at https://americanveteransforukraine.org/

Only independent Jim Walden has a plan to increase police officers pay by 25%. Other candidates want to maintain the status quo—-or even defund the police. As Mayor, Jim will defend our brave police officers and first responders. And put our money where our mouth is.

But like Paul’s mentor Les Gelb taught him, if you don’t take a break you get stupid, and we don’t want to get stupid. So today, we’re taking a break. And throwing it back to one of our most popular guests and popular episodes with an American Icon that is in the headlines, & in Trump’s crosshairs.

(Independent Veterans of America, American Veterans for Ukraine, Operation Liberty), we keep the hammer down.

From last week’s event in Washington DC to upcoming events later this year, to the non-stop news appearances (not to mention I make Paul walk around New York filming himself talking into a camera), to the multiple organizations he’s helping run…

YouTube video by Righteous Media MSNBC: DEADLINE WHITE HOUSE - JULY 23, 2025 - ICE AGENTS DETAIN HEROIC AFGHAN MILITARY TRANSLATOR

🚨🇺🇸Our brave Afghan allies are now being snatched up by ICE. And it’s dangerous and shameful. If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.

I spoke with Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC about it last week:
