In the podcast, the Neal focuses his monologue on a critical analysis of the recent “No Kings” protests against Donald Trump. He argues the protest’s premise is phony, stating that if Trump were a king, there would be no government shutdown or judicial checks on his power. The Neal and Juile contrast this movement with the “Defund the Police” protests, which he says had a clear, albeit misguided, call to action. Neal and Julie theorizes that many of the “No Kings” protesters are  using the political cause to find purpose lacking in their personal lives, and describe the movement as a junk drawer of grievances, a social contagion, and an “Astroturf” campaign that lacks substance, cohesive messaging, and new leadership.

The “No Kings” protesters are guilty of hypocrisy, because they support authoritarian measures themselves, such as attempts to remove Trump from state ballots. Interspersed with this political commentary is a lighthearted segment about a bet between Neal and Julie over the BYU vs. Utah football game. After BYU’s victory, Julie, who bet on Utah, had to eat a beef stick on air for the first time. The episode also briefly touches on other topics, including listener texts about the protest’s impact, the security of mail-in ballots, and a press conference with President Trump and the Prime Minister of Australia.
