Alfafla Encore: No Kings, No Wars | Ep. 245
from Alfalfa Podcast · host Arman Assadi, Nick Urbani, and Eric Johanson
Quick note: no new episode this week — we'll be back next week. This is an Alfalfa Encore from June 2025.We mapped the machinery of forever wars, the "liberation" narrative, and what Iranians actually want. Stephen makes his case for why democracy is obsolete — and why America needs a CEO, not a president. Plus: the deportation debate and why the "No Kings" protests missed the point.Welcome to the Alfalfa Podcast 🌾 👉 https://linktr.ee/alfalfapod Join the Alfalfa Community Discord 🌾 👉 https://discord.gg/czHr62nvBY Alfalfa Distilled Newsletter 🌾 👉 https://alfalfapod.beehiiv.comTimestamps:00:00 - Quick Announcement00:36 - Intro & Hanging On By a Thread04:31 - Stephen's Pickleball Prowess: "My Counters?
