KAMALA MEETS THE PRESS! - August 29th, 2024

Don sits down with Senator Jacky Rosen for a conversation about the state of the country. From skyrocketing food prices to the cost of healthcare, jobs, and overall affordability, the challenges her constituents in Nevada are facing are the same issues weighing on families across America. Sen. Rosen makes it clear that these aren’t partisan problems, they’re everyday problems. But while people are desperate for solutions, Trump continues to show he doesn’t care about actually fixing them. This is a candid look at where America stands right now, and what’s at stake if these issues aren’t addressed. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Good morning, we’re live from D.C. with the latest fallout after the murder of Charlie Kirk. MAGA leaders are now vowing revenge, with Pam Bondi going so far as to say that anyone engaging in so-called “hate speech” against MAGA supporters will be prosecuted. Let’s be clear, that’s not only chilling, it’s flat-out unconstitutional. Do they not understand the First Amendment, or do they just not care? Don will be joined by Tara Setmayer to break it all down: the rhetoric, the threats, and the dangerous precedent this could set for free speech in America. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

We’re digging into the latest updates in the Charlie Kirk shooting case. New evidence shows the shooter’s roommate, who happens to be transgender, has been overwhelmingly cooperative and helpful to police. But predictably, MAGA is already weaponizing this fact to fuel even more anti-trans hate. This moment is dark and deeply troubling, not just for the trans community but for all Americans who care about safety, truth, and equality. Don will break down what this means, the dangerous narrative being pushed, and why we can’t look away. Joining us tonight to break it all down is friend of the show, Reecie Colbert.

This morning, we’re zeroing in on MAGA’s escalating attack on free speech. In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s tragic death, the right is weaponizing a tragedy as a tool for censorship. Pam Bondi is now floating the idea that certain comments will be labeled “hate speech” and prosecuted. Donald Trump is suing The New York Times, and the administration looks like it’s on a warpath against anyone who refuses to fall in line. Here’s the twist: even some MAGA voices are starting to speak out against this blatant disregard for the First Amendment. Will the administration really be able to push this through? And what does it mean for the future of free expression in America? Let’s break it down. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Tonight, we’re once again digging into the MAGA response to the killing of Charlie Kirk, and it’s getting even darker. JD Vance and Stephen Miller are now vowing revenge, twisting the tragedy to claim that violence only comes from the left, and openly threatening to go after so-called “left-wing organizations.” How did we get here? At a moment when the nation desperately needs unity and calm, MAGA’s leaders are choosing to inflame division and stoke fear. It’s a grim reminder of just how dangerous this political moment has become. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

This morning, Don takes a hard look at just how dark things have gotten in America. First up: the MAGA response to the Charlie Kirk killing. Political violence is always wrong, but now MAGA world is on a warpath, calling for the firing of anyone who said anything short of absolute adoration for Kirk. Funny how the folks who claim to be champions of “free speech” only mean it when you agree with them. Then, we turn to Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, who actually suggested on air that we should kill homeless people. He has since apologized, but seriously, WTF?! From glorifying violence to silencing dissent, the rhetoric is getting darker by the day. Where does this end? This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.
