You are SO VALUABLE and APPRECIATED!!! THANK you for slogging thru the muck, and being an exceptional journalist!

Why aren't we using Rosezbowl and other venues we have for these events. We don't need new we need to make use of existing sites

He said that it's a no build Olympics. There will be some modifications but no new buildings.

Aaron just wanted to tell you that I appreciated this interview you did today I think it's a good idea to mix it up and to share positive things that are going on.

I was fortunate that one of my former bosses from Xerox had the opportunity to be the corporate service liaison the last time there was Olympic games. Gosh the stories I heard, the hard work, the “ moments where things went wrong and it looked perfect from the stands” And all the opportunities of working with athletes and the thousands of people who coordinated the games that year. I think it'll be another great unifying experience for the US; just hope we don't run into any issues with athletes or trainers like we did with the one ref from Somalia.

I had the good fortune. As a graphic designer, to do work for Xerox when they were the corporate sponsor back in the day.

Argentina and Spain fans put their rivalry to one side to boo Donald Trump in unison when the president was shown on the screen at the World Cup Final.

Jennifer Hudson's National Anthem performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final momentarily shifted the conversation before Argentina and Spain kicked off, and well after a highly controversial pre-match concert featuring iShowSpeed, Post Malone, and more.

Candace Lucas's avatar

I'll let you know. Keep posting on Aaron's site so i can find you.

Kennis Martin's avatar

Laurieanne's avatar

Wonderful! I’m going to order it. We all need to support one another

Sarah E. Burr's avatar

Thank you! That’s so kind of you. I very much appreciate it!

we have NO BUSINESS hosting the Olympics as people are being kidnapped and detained.

maybe this regime will be gone!

Linda Harris's avatar

Couldn't agree more. If trump and his cronies are still around it will be the World Cup all over but much worse. Who will be slighted this time and not allowed to enter the US. Russia, Israel and the US should not be allowed to compete due to War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.

M. K. N.'s avatar

Thanks, Aaron! Jimothy story is great. Our neighborhood gets jazzed about the white squirrel and its offspring with a buff-colored tail. It doesn't take much to build community!

Kristina Kumar's avatar

I think air quality may be an issue as well.

Margaret B's avatar

How can we publicize something along the lines of, "The whole world comes together for the Olympics. Trump tears us apart. Don't let him destroy the Olympics. Impeach and remove Trump now!" (Ideally, shorter and catchier wording.)

S. A. Linden's avatar

I do worry. But that's an even greater impetus to capture both houses of Congress in November! We have GOT to get this under control before 2028.

Thank god it's happening in California, one of our "donor states."

The general was fascinating and showed an agile, organized, and creative management style. I think they picked a good one!

Thanks, Aaron, for an interesting conversation. You have a great interview style.

Michelle Ponkutcat 060's avatar

Yes! More in person interviews, please!

Tena 401year Isle Center World's avatar

yep going big!!! and should be seen tonigth on these huges billboards in that New York stadium , the whole world is watching that pedophile crimer how dare he , it's outraged no nono respect for the US ,only he wants to be that big great dictator like the one in north Korean !

Sue Marie's avatar

That's what I'm hoping. We know there were issues with players and coaches with the FIFA games.

BecMe13's avatar

I sure hope so too

Great good news this morning. Aaron, you have a heavy burden for such a young man. That said you are doing essential work and we appreciate every single post. I will say, PEOPLE, citizens, you should still support Aaron’s journalism even if the news is hard to take. We NEED him and others like him. Take a bit of money out of your direct tv or other device budget. It’s worth it.

Thank you Aaron! You are a true patriot!! ❤️🔥😎🇺🇸🙌✌🏻💪🏻

Casey Bemis's avatar

I enjoy Aaron's reporting so much that I want to make his life a little easier. I started out with just a small monthly subscription but have upped that to Founding so hopefully he can get someone to help him. It is so important, and pro-rated over monthly payments are something that's worth a bit of sacrifice. Independent journalism is more important than ever these days..

Lillian P.'s avatar

Wow! On a day when I learned that our idiot prez is starting WWIII, your reporting of positive gains being made around the world reached my heart, diminishing some of the gloom that has invaded my world since 2024. Thank you!!

Catnip-based mosquito repellent -- hmm. Drive away the bugs but attract cats? I can get onboard with that! Kudos to the Welsh and Ugandan researchers and thank you for this informative and entertaining post.

Anne Pankau's avatar

I especially liked this news also. I hope they soon use this to create child safe mosquito repellant. You wouldn't use DEET on a young child. I hate having yards sprayed. It is dangerous to children & pets and kills pollinators too. So this will be something I hope they develop & market soon.

Anthony Rupert's avatar

Wow, a 20-minute good news update! 🍿

Anyway, my good news is that I attended my nephew‘s baby shower yesterday.

Ann's avatar

Some of these stories made me tear up. Thank you for taking the time to post good news during such and awful time.

S. A. Linden's avatar

That little four year old was the BEST. I think he came to serve in that role. A real angel.

Elaine Arnusch's avatar

God bless you! That you can find genuine good news stories in these troubled times is a credit to your character! I admire your fortitude and perseverance in wading through all the distressing circumstances you cover and still finding the positives. That said, don’t ever stop exposing the lies and cruelty that your country is suffering.

Frankie Best's avatar

Aaron, I just loved your interview with the General! Like you I am a huge Olympics fan, the only time my TV is on almost 24 hours a day, depending on where it’s being held of course. Please continue doing these interviews with various Olympic people, it’s so interesting and I could’ve added another 10O questions for you to ask the general, but I’m aware you probably had a time limit. I so appreciate how you bring positivity into your podcast, I am so weary of all the bad news, it’s such a delight to be able to listen to something different, something that brings the world together.

Love this interview! A whole different approach on a retired military general tapped for this enormous event. Very exciting!

S. A. Linden's avatar

I'll bet he's glad he retired when he did.

Caroline Parra's avatar

Love a person who remembers & honors their oath! Even after retirement! Doing great things! 💕❤️

Doesitall2's avatar

Wow. Learned a lot from him. Hope they’re very successful. More interviews!!
