The hosts cover recent revelations, ongoing debates, and promotional content for their upcoming conference. Key Topics & Discussions: Ghislaine Maxwell Interview Release: A six-hour interview Ghislaine Maxwell did with Todd Blanch was released on July 24th/25th. Speculation surrounds what significant information, if any, she might have revealed. Sergey Lavrov and Kristen Welker Interview: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a “very good interview” with NBC’s Kristen Welker, where he pushed back on her claims. Lavrov stated that no meeting is planned with Zelensky until a proper presidential agenda is ready for a summit. He also mentioned that Zelensky previously rejected several principles for negotiation proposed by President Trump. The hosts noted that Russia continues to believe Ukraine is part of Russia and aims to install a “Putin puppet” in Ukraine. Federal Reserve Minutes & Trump’s Tariffs: Federal Reserve minutes highlight divisions over the impact of Trump’s tariffs on inflation. Jerome Powell reportedly had to acknowledge that these tariffs had “little to no effect” on inflation. However, a Financial Times article mentioned that tariff revenue is projected to cut the US deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade. National Guard Deployments, Crime, and Political Reactions: 1,700 National Guard troops are deploying in 19 states (including Texas, Florida, Virginia, Ohio, etc.) to support the Department of Homeland Security in a nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration and crime. Their roles include case management, transportation, logistical support, and clerical functions (personal data collection, fingerprinting, DNA swabbing, photographing ICE detainees). DC Crime Stats: During Trump’s federal crackdown, crime statistics in Washington D.C. reportedly “plummeted.” A former police union official, Greg Peton, revealed that the police department had been “fudging crime stats,” intentionally downplaying violent crimes like shootings and robberies as lesser offenses (e.g., “injured person” reports or “thefts”). Public Opinion: Some citizens working in D.C. expressed feeling safer and seeing positive results from the National Guard’s presence. Opposition from Officials: Maryland Governor Wes Moore vehemently opposed the deployment, calling it “not sustainable,” “not scalable,” “unconstitutional” (a violation of the 10th Amendment), and “deeply disrespectful” to untrained National Guard members. He argued it distracts from economic issues. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announced Chicago would “refuse to work with ICE” and urged citizens to “rise up against tyranny,” despite the city facing significant crime rates (581 homicides, 2,600 shootings, 1,600 carjackings in 2024 alone). Crime is reported to be declining year-over-year, but still higher than other cities in America. Citizen Reactions: A homeless woman in Seattle directly pleaded for Trump to send the National Guard to help make her city safe again, while another individual was recorded yelling at Guard members in D.C. to “refuse these orders.” ICE Assaults: Homeland Security reported a “1000% increase in assaults” against ICE agents, fueled by “sanctuary politicians rhetoric.” An incident in San Francisco involving Adrian Guerrero threatening ICE agents with a knife during an anti-ICE riot was highlighted. Trump Administration Vetting: The Trump administration plans to vet illegal immigrant applicants for “anti-Americanism and anti-semitism.” Political Divide Between Young Men and Women: A significant political divide is observed, impacting dating app trust. Data suggests young men are generally “at the zero line” (neither liberal nor conservative), while young women are “off the deep end progressive,” leading to a perception of “angry liberal single lonely depressed feminists.” Kamala Harris Book Tour: Kamala Harris is reportedly on a “107-day tour” to promote her book, “The Invisible Tour,” with hosts suggesting she is more committed to the book than presidential aspirations. Texas GOP Gerrymandering: The Texas GOP passed a House gerrymander that was requested by Trump. Snoop Dogg’s Reaction to “Lightyear” Movie & Political Shift: Snoop Dogg took his grandson to see Disney’s “Lightyear,” where a scene featured two lesbian mothers with a child. His grandson, confused, asked, “Papa Snoop how she have a baby with a woman she a woman?” Snoop expressed his discomfort, stating he’s “scared to go to the movies now” due to such content being included in children’s films. Notably, Snoop Dogg, who was previously anti-Trump in 2017, has reportedly shifted his stance, expressing “nothing but love for Trump” in a 2024 interview, citing Trump’s pardon of Michael Harris. Discussion arose about Disney’s “woke” agenda, with Kathleen Kennedy of Lucas Films (Disney) being identified as a key figure in this trend, whose contract is ending in 2025. Pete Buttigieg’s Lack of Black Voter Support: A June 2025 Emerson College poll showed 0% support for Pete Buttigieg from black voters for the Democratic nomination, across all black voters. This was tied to the idea that he “doesn’t move” the black community. Gavin Newsom’s Presidential Ambitions & Past Controversies: Newsom’s “new publicity stunt” – mimicking Trump’s “Patriot Shop” merchandise and slogans – has led to a 450% increase in his online following since mid-June, over a million new followers on TikTok and Instagram, and a 1300% surge in daily Google searches. This is seen as an effective strategy to generate attention for a potential 2028 presidential bid. Past Controversies: An old interview clip showed Newsom as a mayor deflecting questions and walking out, appearing “uncomfortable to watch.” He made a public apology in 2007 for an affair with Ruby Rippey-Tourk, the wife of his best friend and campaign manager, which occurred in 2005 while he was Mayor of San Francisco. A debate opponent famously used this to question his trustworthiness with the state. One host suggested the DNC might favor JB Pritzker over Newsom

HHP Dusty Slay and Harland Williams – Harland Highway Podcast 175 What’s Ailing Us? A Comedic Deep Dive with Dr. Drew and Harland Williams – Harland Highway Podcast 173 Air Date: August 26, 2025 GUEST: Dusty Slay Dusty Slay is an American stand-up comedian known for his blue-collar storytelling style, often drawing from his own life experiences growing up in a trailer park in Opelika, Alabama. Born on May 18, 1982, Slay’s comedy centers on relatable, everyday observations with a warm, eternally optimistic outlook. Before focusing full-time on comedy, Dusty worked various jobs including pesticide salesman and waiter. He started his comedy career in the late 2000s after taking improv classes and has since become a popular live performer and TV guest. Slay is notable for being the youngest comedian to perform at the Grand Ole Opry stage in Nashville, where he now resides. He has appeared on major shows such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Netflix’s The Standups. His first Netflix special, “Workin’ Man,” debuted in January 2024, followed by “Wet Heat” in July 2025. Dusty also hosts the “We’re Having a Good Time” podcast with his wife, Hannah, and co-hosts the Nateland Podcast alongside comedians Nate Bargatze and others.
