Summary

V & Sami are back from the DNC and they're ready to recap a very busy week. Still unhappy with trad media, they point out the double standard in the way Harris' speech is being fact checked versus the way the media is treating Trump. V also explains why there were no trans speakers at the DNC, and what was going on with the Uncommitted delegates. V & Sami also celebrate the joy and hope that was displayed at the DNC, along with Democrats reclaiming camo and the American flag. Then we share an interview at the DNC where Sami sat down with Senator Lephonza Butler, where Sen. Butler talks about brokering power, and explains why she's not running for reelection.

0:00.0	Rise and shine fever dreamers look alive my friends I'm fee spear and I'm Sammy
0:07.5	sage and this is American fever dream presented by Petche's news where we explore the absurdities and oddities of our uniquely American experience.
0:17.0	We are back from the DNC, and since we had so many episodes last week,
0:21.0	we have made a few adjustments to our schedule. We actually had
0:24.8	some audio issues with our Thursday night recap. So we're going to kind of do it again now,
0:30.4	but honestly this will probably be better than our midnight reaction
0:34.7	from Thursday to be totally honest.
0:37.1	Honestly that episode was trash and I think it is God's will that the audio is

0:48.4	I remember trying to film the episode and trying to get my thoughts straight and I just like literally couldn't which may also be because Trad Media
0:55.9	released a bio weapon on Sammy and I and we now both have COVID that I think we
1:01.1	definitely contracted from the dirty looks of journalists Thursday night.

1:10.1	Seems the DNC was a bit of a super spreader event.
1:13.0	I'm asking for Eddie Pity. We knew what we were getting into when we got into it and gratefully I am vaccinated. I am updated booster and my symptoms were mild. I was just really tired, had a headache, but I think definitely
1:23.0	Thursday night was a rough night to try and record. Just the flood of
1:26.0	emotion, the exhaustion, that that moment when you can like finally like release,
1:30.7	it was not a good idea to try to record it midnight.
1:32.8	No, no, but we have since let it set in and you know I think our analysis will be more solid
