California County's insanely woke Fourth of July plans leak. Patriots are furious. A Southern California county is facing backlash after plans for a completely unpatriotic Fourth of July celebration leaked online. Tribal intimate blessings welcoming to land.
I think it's land acknowledgement. They finally get around to the national anthem that they couple neatly with the black national anthem, because you can't have one without the other in San Diego.
**Michael Duncan** (0:26)
Hold on, hold on. So the national anthem in this very detailed minute by minute doesn't even have its own line.
**Josh Holmes** (0:33)
No, it's not. And it's not at the top, by the way. It's after the land acknowledgment, it's a trio of land acknowledgments.
**John Ashbrook** (0:40)
But wait, there's more. Because immediately after, it's the local tribal community story.
I thought everyone got the memo November of 2024 that you don't have to do this anymore.

How about the mayor just makes a short speech?
**Josh Holmes** (0:53)
Throw up some fireworks, call it a day.
**Comfortably Smug** (0:55)
Exactly. That's all people are asking for.
**Josh Holmes** (0:58)
And this is what the left is systematically doing, is getting to a point where anybody who comes here has to fly their own flag within our borders.

Fun Time Friday. Welcome to the Great American State Fair and the Ruthless Variety Program. I'm Josh Holmes along with Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook left to right across your radio dial in a very different place than we normally do this show. How about it, fellas?
**John Ashbrook** (2:51)
It's the Great American Fair. It's wonderful.
**Michael Duncan** (2:53)
How about the pageantry out here? We got the Ferris wheel. It's a little hot, I gotta say.
**Josh Holmes** (2:59)
It is 2,000 degrees outside. I mean, and just getting here is a struggle a little.
**Comfortably Smug** (3:05)
250 years is a lot of time.
And America is the greatest country that has ever existed in the history of the planet Earth. And you have to celebrate that. And what better place to celebrate that than right here in our nation's capital?
**Josh Holmes** (3:20)
Yeah, exactly right. And happy birthday, happy birthday America, 250 I know that those of you who are listening to this program and watching this program, celebrate and appreciate America as much as we do. An awful lot of folks that, well, they seem not to quite as much. We're going to cover them in some detail because you ought to know about they're a threat. They're a threat. But here on the 4th of July, we are celebrating. I hope you've got like a body of water and a whole bunch of cold beers. Yeah. Well, that's where I'd rather be.
To be frank. But if I can't have it, I want to be right here with you.
Because Wolf sets up the programming here on Ruthless, we have to do some California stuff, you know.
**Comfortably Smug** (4:04)
Every time. You know, all the time.
