EPISODE NOTE: This will be the only episode this week. New episodes return on Monday June 15, 2026. TODAY: It's your Monday primer for the week ahead. Scott takes a closer look at Canada's newest Governor General, Louise Arbour, and breaks down the surprisingly generous salary, pension, lifetime benefits, and perks that come with the role. He also examines the staggering costs of hosting the FIFA World Cup in Toronto and Vancouver and asks a simple question: why are governments spending billions on a sporting event that may never turn a profit while more Canadians are relying on food banks? Plus, legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg discusses his upcoming UFO-themed film Disclosure Day and shares his thoughts on what humanity could face if governments ever reveal the truth about extraterrestrial life. And in the United States, President Trump gets into a heated exchange with a reporter during a television interview before abruptly ending the conversation.
