This episode of Rivera and Reeves is a masterclass in media absurdity. Meseidy and Rachel break down 60 Minutes’ bizarre love letter to censorship, Margaret Brennan’s historically illiterate interview with Marco Rubio, and the ongoing meltdown over JD Vance’s Munich speech. Plus, Trump’s unexpected takeover of the Kennedy Center, Kamala’s Broadway blunder, and Jim Acosta’s hilarious attempt at rallying a media boycott. Buckle up, because this one’s a ride.
Episode Highlights:
- The 60 Minutes Censorship Special – CBS proudly showcases Germany’s Orwellian speech laws, where insults can land you in jail and "misinformation" is a crime.
- Marco Rubio vs. Media Nonsense – Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan claims free speech caused the Holocaust, and Rubio isn’t having it.
- JD Vance Claps Back – The Senator expertly shuts down a clueless attempt to dunk on him over press access at the White House.
- Trump, the Kennedy Center, and Biden’s Backfire – How Biden’s past actions paved the way for Trump to take over DC’s most prestigious art institution.
- Kamala’s Broadway Blunder – A painfully awkward post-show speech raises questions… again.
