In this episode, we break down Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over a graphic letter allegedly tying him to Jeffrey Epstein. At the same time, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was abruptly cancelled just days after an Emmy nomination. CBS claims the cancellation was due to budget constraints, but the timing—amid Paramount’s legal clash with Trump—has stirred major controversy. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has done a complete 180, saying a trade deal with the U.S. must now include tariffs, marking a surprising shift from his previously firm stance on Trump. Over in the UK, the voting age has been officially lowered to 16—should other countries do the same?
In sports, Jon Jones hints at coming out of retirement for a heavyweight title fight at the White House. Trump is also pushing to cap N.I.L. (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals for college athletes, sparking debate on fairness and control. The NBA offseason is wild as Dame Lillard re-signs with the Trail Blazers and Bradley Beal lands with the Clippers. Are team loyalties dead in today's league? We also pay tribute to Fauja Singh, the legendary 114-year-old marathoner who sadly passed away in a hit and run.
Off-topic, Shaquille O’Neal stands up for Angel Reese after Robert Griffin reposted a racially charged image. We also dive into the bizarre story of Nina Kutina living in the Indian jungle, the psychological science behind revenge being as addictive as drugs, and the viral scandal involving the CEO of Astronomer caught cheating with a co-worker at a Coldplay concert. As always, stick around for the questions segment at the end.
