Alfafla Encore: No Kings, No Wars | Ep. 245
<p><strong>Quick note: no new episode this week — we'll be back next week. This is an Alfalfa Encore from June 2025.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>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 Stephen makes his case for why democracy is obsolete — and why America needs a CEO, not a president.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.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Welcome to the Alfalfa Podcast 🌾 👉 <a href="https://linktr.ee/alfalfapod">https://linktr.ee/alfalfapod</a> </p><p>Join the Alfalfa Community Discord 🌾 👉 <a href="https://discord.gg/czHr62nvBY">https://discord.gg/czHr62nvBY</a> </p><p>Alfalfa Distilled Newsletter 🌾 👉 <a href="https://alfalfapod.beehiiv.com">https://alfalfapod.beehiiv.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Timestamps:</p><p>00:00 - Quick Announcement</p><p>00:36 - Intro & Hanging On By a Thread</p><p>04:31 - Stephen's Pickleball Prowess: "My Counters?
