Summary

This week we have a classic American Fever Dream episode for you! Let's break down some of the weirdest, fever dreamiest stories of the last week. TEMP CHECK 5:45 - Starting off, we break down why Trump's photo op at Arlington National Cemetery was so disgraceful. V also fact checks Trump's statement that no military members died under his presidency, when the numbers show a very different story. 27:30 - Next, we cover the Twitter/X ban in Brazil. A Supreme Court Justice in Brazil has taken action against the app because of far-right accounts and disinformation. Musk could have avoided this if he had just hired a lawyer that lived in Brazil... so why didn't he? 35:10 - You may have heard from the NY Post that a Venezuelan gangs is taking over Aurora, Colorado. While the story is still unfolding, V and Sami are highly doubtful that a gang is taking over three specific apartment buildings owned by a company based outside of Colorado. AMERICAN'T 45:15 - A Chase Bank "glitch" let's people take out thousands of dollars without actually having the money in your account. Aka wire fraud. Please don't do this. 49:22 - We end the episode talking about Donald Trump's interesting choice of stops on his campaign trail -- Majority small towns that all happen to be Sundown towns, including Howell, Michigan, which held a KKK rally in July 2024.
