Jimmy Kimmel benched; Shutdown showdown on the Hill Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

It’s the late-night controversy lighting up headlines. Jimmy Kimmel criticized Republicans and the MAGA movement in his monologue Monday night, just days after the killing of Charlie Kirk. On Wednesday, Disney and ABC announced his show was suspended indefinitely, hours after FCC Chair Brendan Carr, a Trump appointee, threatened to “take action” against the network for Kimmel's remarks. The suspension has sparked outrage from Hollywood to Washington, with a former president even weighing in. Host Yamin Vossoughian welcomes Variety senior TV editor Brian Steinberg and constitutional rights expert Corey Brettschneider to address concerns that ABC’s suspension of Kimmel violates the First Amendment. And tick-tock, another government shutdown is looming. Democrats have dropped their new short-term spending bill but it looks nothing like the plan Republicans just rolled out. The standoff could push Washington to the brink of another government shutdown. Plus, fallout continues from explosive testimony on Capitol Hill by a former CDC director. NBC News Chief Capitol Hill Correspondent Ryan Nobles joins to break it all down.

Show notes

It’s Fed Day! And the drama didn’t disappoint. The Federal Reserve just cut interest rates by a quarter-point, the first cut this year after weeks of speculation and fierce criticism from President Trump. We’ll take you inside the room: who was at the table, what swayed the decision, and how this cut could hit everything from Wall Street trading floors to your credit card bill. NBC News Business and Data Correspondent and pod co-host Brian Cheung joins host Laura Jarrett to break it all down. And ousted CDC Director Susan Monarez testified before a Senate committee today, just weeks after being fired by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. She says she lost her job for refusing to bend to his vaccine agenda. Joining her was Debra Houry, who resigned as the CDC’s chief medical officer in protest. The two described turmoil inside the agency. Monarez claims Kennedy pushed her to meet with a lawyer seeking to revoke the polio vaccine and to change the childhood vaccine schedule. Her tenure lasted less than a month. NBC News Correspondent Anne Thompson was in the room and joined the pod.

“We got him." Suspect arrested in Charlie Kirk shooting; South Korean workers return home Sep 12, 2025

Show notes

President Donald Trump announced this morning that a suspect was in custody in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson had been arrested after a family friend turned him in. Investigators noted strange inscriptions found on the bullet casings. Officials said that Robinson acted alone, but the shooting has led to bomb threats, campus lockdowns and even gunfire at the U.S. Naval Academy. NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Ryan Nobles joins host Brian Cheung to discuss the current state of unrest in the nation. And the weeklong ordeal for hundreds of South Korean workers detained in a Georgia immigration raid is now over. More than 300 of the workers arrived back in Seoul to applause after what some described as an “intense” experience. U.S. officials say the raid targeted alleged unlawful employment practices at a Hyundai–LG electric vehicle battery plant, a move that has raised diplomatic tensions and questions about the future of a multibillion-dollar project. NBC News Foreign Correspondent Janis Mackey Frayer joins us from Seoul.
