Jordan Klepper Takes on Trump & Haley Supporters | Killer Mike Feb 14, 2024

Show notes

Jordan Klepper dives into Trump’s recent remarks about Nikki Haley and her husband, who might or might not be missing. Jordan then heads to South Carolina to ask Nikki Haley supporters what she can do to beat Trump and later hits a Trump rally to ask his supporters why they’ll never vote for Haley. If Republicans are going to compromise with Democrats on the border crisis, they’re going to need a new issue for Trump to run on. Thankfully, Jordan and Desi Lydic have a few ideas to enrage the masses –– from Taylor Swift, to drag queens, to basically anything with letters. And legendary rapper, Killer Mike, joins Jordan to discuss sweeping the major rap categories at the Grammys, how spirituality played a role in his award-winning album, "Michael," how the record is an extension of Run The Jewels, and why he encourages fellow activists to use community to effectively organize and mobilize.
