"My Husband, The President"
Fourteen minutes at the podium was all it took for the internet to completely break down. We unpack Trump's new press secretary Katie Zacharia’s excruciating White House debut, from the rigid, robot-like delivery that earned her the nickname "The Zachbot" to the accidental viral gaffe where she referred to her husband as "my president." It's rough, but redeemable! Also on the show: a man was
Columbus Day Not-So Spectacular
HAPPY BASICALLY ITALIAN DAY. At a high-octane midterm election rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, Donald Trump singled out Democratic candidates Justin J. Pearson and Jerri Green by name, slamming them as "radical" far-left extremists and "communists" who are out of touch with the state. They immediately struck back, framing it as definitive proof that the GOP is terrified of them. Also on the show:
Pearson’s Data Dumped
AFUERA! AFUERA! Justin J. Pearson was banned from attending the next two Memphis City Council meetings following a chaotic session regarding a proposed 12-month data center moratorium. The high-stakes meeting erupted into shouting matches and a fistfight after council members voted to delay a decision on the environmental freeze. Did he deserve the ban?

Also on the show
Mostly Peaceful Jihad Terrorist Attempt
When a co-pilot stabs the captain and plunges a commercial airliner 14,000 feet in a violent attempt to crash the plane, you would think the headline writes itself. Yet, while officials sound the alarm on a thwarted jihadist terror hijacking in Dubai, mainstream news outlets are working overtime to repackage it into a routine "violent pilot dispute" or a simple "cockpit misunderstanding". Also on
Memphis Safe Task Force 1-Year Report Card
It’s been exactly one year since the Memphis Safe Task Force was deployed to begin their work to crack down on violent crimes across the city.

What The F Does The B In FBI NOT Stand For?!
It's been one year since the Memphis Safe Task Force, and Trump says crime's goin' down!

Also on the show: "Non-pract
The Art of the BRIBE?
In an unexpected campaign move, President Trump promised to give every American adult a $5,000 "Trump dividend" check if Republicans keep control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.

Don't Mess With The 80's, CANADIAN!
Ryan Reynolds is catching heat from Generation X for saying that the 80s were not as nice as you remember.
