Lake America Great Again

Today's presenting sponsor is SimpliSafe Home Security. With end of summer sales happening, your porch is probably a landing pad for delivery boxes while you're at work. Don't get a camera that just films a thief. Choose SimpliSafe to help stop them before they even step onto the porch. Unlike traditional security systems that only alert you after a break-in is already underway, SimpliSafe is designed to help stop intruders before they get inside. Smart AI powered outdoor cameras detect suspicious activity at the perimeter and alert live US based agents to step in. SimpliSafe's agents assess the threat, intervene through the outdoor camera to scare off trespassers and call for 911 dispatch. Our CEO, here at Crooked, just got SimpliSafe, she installed it herself and she said it was really easy.
The cameras, the sensors, all of it to install, everything's worked great. And even when there was a power outage, the system was back online right away after the power was restored. SimpliSafe's been protecting your world for 20 years. Celebrate their anniversary with us and save 60% on your new SimpliSafe system at simplisafe.com/crooked, plus when you order, write in our show name in the How Did You Hear About Us survey to let them know we sent you. Don't forget, there's no safe like SimpliSafe.

On today's show, we'll talk about the president's big announcement that he's renaming a lake because he's mad at Canada. His plan to make the midterms all about himself, RFK Jr's war against the war against measles, Jon Ossoff's opponent's latest Nazi problem, the latest one, and the latest from some key Senate races, including Dan's conversation with South Carolina's Democratic nominee, Dr. Annie Andrews, who's looking to pull off a big upset against the brand new Republican nominee, Darline Graham, sister of the late Lindsey Graham.

Do you think maybe the reason we keep having to do this pitch is because we keep forgetting to put the link in so no one can actually do it?

**Jon Favreau** (2:52)
That and it's like, is it crooked.com/friend or friends or is it friend of the, who the fuck knows?

All right, let's get to the news. Donald Trump had another big week of losing wars, raising prices and changing maps. His only public event on Thursday was a signing ceremony in the Oval Office where he officially changed the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America and said that either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean may be next because our president is a moron.
Let's listen to how he explained the Lake Ontario change.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:40)
So this is Lake Ontario in Canada and in the United States. But we're going to make a little change. We're going to call it something different than Lake Ontario. We're going to call it Lake America. And all it takes is a good pen and some intelligence. So Lake Ontario, that's gone, Lake America.
So now we have a lake and now we have a gulf. Because we have the gulf of America and now we have Lake America without the of. Thank you very much everybody. Enjoy Lake America.

**Jon Favreau** (4:23)
Enjoy Lake America without the of.
Without the of. Now, if you're all concerned that Trump isn't paying enough attention to the other stupid war he started that's now bankrupting the country. Fear not, the president posted some great news about Iran this morning. Let's check out what he put on Truth Social.
