Canada Gains Momentum Over Gavin Newsome in the Troll Trump Challenge

The monologue today focuses on the weird and warped goings on at the Turning Point USA’s first AmericaFest without Charlie Kirk. Spoiler alert: it reveals ideological rifts within the conservative movement. He also talks about CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss who decided to shelf a planned “60 Minutes” story titled “Inside CECOT,” thereby creating an uproar inside CBS. But the story was leaked to Canada and the report has reached a worldwide audience anyway. Next, John speaks with Professor Corey Brettschneider about the horrific shooting at Brown University where Corey teaches. They discuss the latest confirmed developments in the shooting—and the parallel storm of disinformation on X that spread during the investigation: false accusations against a transgender student and a manufactured narrative about motive. They break down how these claims circulated, why they’re dangerous, and how to separate verified reporting from rumor—without naming private individuals or repeating unverified allegations. Then, he welcomes back Rhonda Hansome to discuss the latest stolen Venezuelan oil tanker and the latest kidnapped victims of ICE cruelty.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
