In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are joined by TWO very special guests, comedians and all-around swell fellas, Blake Hamilton and Ronald Vara! We kick this one off by talking about the big news from Rivers and Carter's home state of Alabama: "The Montgomery Riverfront Brawl" in which a steel folding chair was used as a weapon in real life! We also chat about an amazing story from Canadian history in which a group of circus clowns fought a gang of firemen and protestant militants in a street brawl that got a tad out of hand. We take a visit to Blake's supremely weird hometown of Huntsville, Alabama and Kenny Chesney and Uncle Cracker's "When the Sun Goes Down" is our JAM OF THE WEEK! This one is truly a crowning achievement in podcasting and we can't wait for y'all to listen!

The Daily Signal - ‘It’s Almost Everywhere,’ Scholar Says of China’s Infiltration of America’s K-12 Schools
China’s infiltration of American K-12 schools is “almost everywhere,” according to Peter Wood, president of the National Association of Scholars.
“That is, in every state that we’ve looked at, we have found instances of it, but I would say it’s concentrated in the feeder schools to elite education, which means mostly West Coast and East Coast, but not exclusively those,” Wood says.
“The effort here is, China’s not just spreading around its resources promiscuously across the land. It’s looking for places where buying influence will yield results in the long term,” he adds. “So, it’s widespread, but much more prevalent here on the East Coast and California.”
In April, The Heritage Foundation awarded the National Association of Scholarsits Innovation Prize, which “is intended to spark creative disruption in the conservative movement as we strive to ensure the future of American self-governance.” (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
Wood joins today’s episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss some of the concerns surrounding the Chinese Communist Party’s influence in our education system and some of the other work the National Association of Scholars has been doing in addition to digging into China’s infiltration of and influence in K-12 schools.

Chapo Trap House - 758 – The Iowa State Fair is Decadent and Depraved feat. Rock Hard Caucus (8/14/23)
We’re joined by Justin Comer and Evan Jones of the Rock Hard Caucus podcast for their on-the-ground report from this year’s Iowa State Fair. Over the course of two days, Justin & Evan endured the brutal heat and hog stench of the Des Moines fairgrounds to see Mike Pence, Francis Suarez, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Marianne Williamson, RFK Jr. and more, all live and in the flesh. We get their takes on the Iowa political scene, what candidates can convincingly appear to be regular humans, and which of these freaks are worth paying attention to, if any.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Filthy Rich Politicians’ scrutinizes the wealth of elected officials
In Filthy Rich Politicians, conservative columnist Matt Lewis presents some startling figures. Senator Rick Scott: net worth of approximately $200 million. Representative Michael McCaul: $125 million. Nancy Pelosi: $46 million. In his book, Lewis takes a close look at how people get richer after they're elected to office, and what this wealth means for our political systems. He speaks with NPR's Steve Inskeep about how politicians amass money not just for themselves, but their families – and how Donald Trump is a prime example of that.
