Topic: Military Sponsorship

Over 60 bands boycotted the South by Southwest festival in Austin due to its sponsorship by the U.S. military and defense contractors. Governor Greg Abbott told the boycotting artists not to return to Texas, while the festival organizers defended their commitment to human rights. The hosts recall the festival's role in the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns.

A recent NASCAR race where the Army-sponsored car won is cited as evidence of rigged outcomes in professional racing. The hosts discuss a congresswoman's complaints about government funding for racing sponsorships and jokingly suggest she is under MK Ultra mind control. They also touch upon the history of NASCAR originating from moonshine running in the South.
