Anthony Rogers is not new to controversy.  In the past few years he has made some significant statements on social media regarding Michael Brown and the Ferguson situation from 2014.  He has been back and forth with angry promoters kicking him off paid comedy gigs. AND NOW....Anthony, a previous guest on the Q, is in the sights of the Riverfront Times.  The RFT is a local news magazine in the St. Louis area that focuses on pop culture and entertainment.  Mark has had his fair share of going around with the RFT in the past and Anthony brings the whole dismay with that company back around with a hit piece they did on him. Mark and Anthony try to explain that they are representative of St. Louis to many people outside this metro area and there are companies pretending it is not true. The guys discuss in glorious detail.

Also, Mark and the guys focus on the Donald Trump Jr. email with Russia and how everything that was considered fake is slowly coming out to be true.  So MSNBC, NY Times and Washington Post were not lying as previously stated.  This brings the conversation around when Producer Bobby and Anthony state that all sports is fixed and fake.  Mark disagrees. Sit back and enjoy the conversation between these verified entertainers from STL.

Donald Trump recently went to the G20 and in our opinion did not represent our country as well as he could.  Jason Kull joins Mark to discuss Ivanka sitting in on G20 meeting on behalf her dad, and his awkward and lonely vibe he gave off.

This leads to a report from an Australian journalist covering the G20 that reported on Trump in the most scathing way possible.  The guys play the clip and proceed to discuss all the points and merits the journalist brings up in the video. From the vibe that world leaders are working around him, to their decision to just ignore him.  All of this leading to what is now called the G19, not 20.

Finally Mark and Jason focus on the Donald Trump Jr. Saga regarding campaigning and meeting with Russia.  He's stated a bunch of times that the Russia thing has been a Witch hunt until now.  They have proof and DT Jr. is back pedaling a ton on this one.  Will it seal the fate of Trump Sr....it will be discussed.

CRAZY CHEAP FIREWORKS is the PROUD sponsor of this weeks show.

Mark and Producer Bobby are back with a vengeance and Donald Trump makes it all the sweeter.  This week Donald tee'd off on two MSNBC news hosts about their personal lives and took pot shots at Mika Brzezinski for a face lift that was personal and a problem for her.  Then called them good people.  Mark and Bobby discuss the impact of Trump Tweeting and attacking Citizens. This leads to a discussion about Tom Brady and whether or not we feel he has hit "Michael Jordan sports ICON" level yet. 

And thats not all.  Chris Christie decided to close the state beaches and parks due to budget issues in New Jersey. This coincided with the 4th of july holiday weekend and people got pissed.  But to add insult to injury, Christie took his family to an empty beach and let his family have a blast.  Super uncool. We discuss all this and much more on this weeks Q.
