Active-Duty Air Force Major Arrested After Calling for Trump's Impeachment! Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, an active-duty Air Force major made headlines by standing on the Capitol steps and calling for President Trump's impeachment, knowing it could cost him everything. He was arrested, but his act of civil disobedience raises a bigger question: What does it say about the state of the country when even members of the military feel compelled to take such extraordinary risks? Guest host Jolly Good Ginger joins us live from Washington, D.C., where he witnessed it all firsthand, for a conversation about patriotism, protest, and what America is becoming.

Donald Trump Just Had a VERY Bad Day! Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

It's been a rough day for Donald Trump. The Supreme Court delivered a major ruling in the birthright citizenship fight that leaves his executive order tied up in the courts, while his much-hyped America 250 celebration continues to draw attention for all the wrong reasons, from logistical mishaps to the Reflecting Pool fiasco. Tonight, Don is joined by Joy Reid to break down what today's Supreme Court decisions really mean, why the legal battle over birthright citizenship is far from over, and whether the cracks in Trump's carefully crafted image are becoming impossible to ignore.

Show notes

Jennifer Welch is back, and absolutely nothing is off limits.
