KAMALA MEETS THE PRESS! - August 29th, 2024

This morning, we’re breaking down Trump’s absolutely unhinged cabinet meeting, a three-hour spectacle that looked less like governing and more like a loyalty pageant. One by one, his cabinet members took turns showering him with praise in a display that felt straight out of North Korea’s playbook, not the United States of America. What have we come to? And more importantly, where are their spines? Let’s talk about it. This episode is sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Don’t let your rights be rewritten.

Tonight, we’re breaking down Trump’s marathon cabinet meeting. Yes, more than three hours of chaos, delusion, and dictator cosplay. In between the usual round of butt-kissing from his loyalists, Trump mused (again) about being a dictator, bragged he can “do whatever he wants” as president, and doubled down on one unconstitutional policy after another. What even was this meeting? Governance? Theater? Group therapy for fragile egos? Either way, it was a spectacle, and we’re here to unpack every absurd minute of it.

This morning we’re asking the question making the rounds online: Is Trump dying? Speculation about his health is swirling after new images of his hands and ankles went viral, but is there any real evidence of a medical issue, or just more internet rumor fuel? We’ll also cover the breaking news of Trump’s attempted firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. Can he even do that? (Spoiler: probably not. But when has the law ever stopped him?) And finally, Jolly joins us live with coverage from last night’s protest outside the White House because the people are not staying quiet.

Trump’s military and police takeover of D.C. is in full swing, but people aren’t just rolling over. Protests are erupting across the city, and friend of the show, Jolly, is live on the ground bringing you the latest from those pushing back against authoritarian BS. And if that weren’t enough, Trump held a truly deranged Oval Office press conference today where he suggested that some people actually want a dictator. Excuse us? Hard pass. We’ll break it all down because democracy shouldn’t come with cosplay generals and dictator auditions. This episode is sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

Back in 2019, Pete Buttigieg was dubbed “Mayo Pete” by Black Twitter, a nickname born of skepticism about his authenticity and connection with Black voters. Six years later, despite his polish and rising profile, Buttigieg still hasn’t earned that trust, with recent polls showing zero percent Black support for a presidential run. Don breaks down why safe messaging, consultant polish, and chasing conservative podcasts won’t cut it, and why, without genuine connection in Black communities, “Mayo Pete” might end up being more than just a meme.

Good morning Lemon Nation! Today we’re breaking down Trump’s so-called “crackdown on crime” in D.C., you know, the city where crime rates are actually lower than they’ve been in years. Facts be damned, he’s now floating the idea of sending troops into other left-leaning cities like Chicago and New York. Legal? Doubtful. Authoritarian? Absolutely. Are we now living in a police state? Sure feels like it. Then we’ll turn to the economy. Remember when MAGA voters swore they backed Trump because of how “great” the economy was? Well, things are sliding downhill fast, and this looks like just the beginning. Grab your coffee. We’ve got a lot to unpack. This episode is sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

Breaking news: the DOJ has released transcripts from its interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, and there are a few bombshells. Among them? Maxwell saying she doesn’t believe Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. But here’s the real question: where are the Epstein files? The public gets Maxwell’s spin, but the full truth, the names, the connections, the receipts, are still being kept under wraps. We're joined by Katie Phang to break down what’s in the transcripts, what’s missing, and why the biggest story is still the one they don’t want us to see.
