Transcript:
We have a very disturbing theme running through today’s show, and it comes down to power and to who gets to speak and who doesn’t, because we’re starting to see something that should raise alarms for anybody who cares about free speech.
Melania Trump and Donald Trump are openly going after comedian and late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, demanding he be fired for jokes. Not exactly free speech, is it?
We then have White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt coming back after two days of maternity leave to tell people it’s time to tone down the rhetoric, while she doesn’t tone down the rhetoric.
And we are going to talk about the push to turn the White House ballroom project from a $400 million donation project to a $400 million taxpayer-funded project.
And I’m also going to respond directly to some of the conspiracy theories floating around about the recent Trump shooting incidents, where the reaction to yesterday’s show is making me a little bit worried.
And then later, by the way, very quietly, trickling out very quietly, gas prices are higher than ever, but nobody’s talking about it.
All of that and more today.
Don’t miss the full show with these stories and others, plus all of our analysis.
