SICK Murder Reaction, Kmele SCHOOLS Jemele, Mamdani’s Influencer Scheme, & Tyler Robinson’s Defense

Emily Jashinsky reacts to the murder of 32-year-old Bank of America vice president and new mother Erin Piacenti, who police say was randomly stabbed in Times Square shortly after returning from maternity leave. Emily examines the disturbing online reaction from people celebrating or mocking Piacenti’s death simply because she worked for Bank of America and what it reveals about Americans becoming increasingly numb to violence. She then reacts to a heated CNN debate between Kmele Foster and Jemele Hill over claims that capitalism is bound up with white supremacy and explains why injecting identity politics into the conversation makes it harder to seriously confront capitalism’s flaws. Emily also breaks down new reporting about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s network of social media influencers, including taxpayer-funded contracts for some messaging campaigns, and raises questions about transparency when influencers are paid to promote government messaging. The show then turns to the preliminary hearing for accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, where his defense attorney repeatedly characterized Kirk as having spoken “hatefully” about certain groups. Finally, Emily takes a closer look at the women rallying around Lindsay Clancy and argues that many appear to be projecting their own experiences with postpartum depression and failures of the medical system onto Clancy’s case while losing sight of the three children who were killed. Emily rounds out the show by answering viewer questions from the live chat.   Ghostbed: Discover how GhostBed’s cooling, pressure-relieving design can help you sleep more comfortably and wake up feeling refreshed, plus get an extra 10% off their lowest prices of the season at GhostBed.com/EMILY with code EMILY.   Cozy Earth: Visit https://www.CozyEarth.com & Use code EMILY for up to 20% off   PreBorn: Help save a baby go to https://PreBorn.com/Emily or dial #250 keyword BABY Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
