This is a quick rundown of the topics we’ll be covering on today’s show. You can hit play to listen, or read the transcript below if that’s more your style.

Transcript:

We will start today with footage you need to see. Jesse Dollemore and Brittany Page on the ground in Minneapolis, authorities gassing a woman in a wheelchair, and Jesse is right there screaming at them, refusing to back down.

Then watch a Republican almost criticize Trump and fail in real time as he floats using the Insurrection Act on Americans, troops in the streets, not a single clear no.

And then something even bigger. Europe is openly talking about moving on from the United States. Not managing Trump, not tolerating Trump. Just moving towards a world without the United States at the center, and it wouldn’t be so good for Americans.

Now meanwhile, MAGA Mike Johnson went on Fox News and proved that everything is Biden’s fault, or at least that’s what he wants us to believe.

And then Germany’s president says the quiet part out loud that the United States under Trump is destroying the world order, and a leading expert on fascism has fled the country because he says he knows what is coming.

All of that and more on today’s show.
