The Scoot Show with Scoot

A retired police officer who posted a meme mocking President Trump after the murder of Charlie Kirk has reportedly won a major settlement after he was sentenced to jail over the post. Is this a victory for freedom of speech, even when the speech is ugly, offensive, or badly timed? An American doctor contracted the deadly Ebola virus while overseas, as the virus continues spreading in parts of Africa. He is not in the United States, but does a story like this make you worry about Ebola reaching America, or do you trust that public health officials can keep it contained? President Trump's poll numbers on the economy have hit a record-breaking low. How much do you blame the president for inflation, and how much do you think any president actually controls the cost of living? In 1965, TIME magazine published an article arguing that rock 'n' roll was not just a fad but a powerful cultural force. More than 60 years later, rock music is still with us. Why do you think rock 'n' roll lasted, and what does it have that other musical trends don't?

This hour, Scoot continues the conversation about how the City of New Orleans is working on synchronizing traffic lights. Scoot also talks about the Department of Justice (DOJ) establishing a $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" as part of a settlement to resolve President Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. Announced on May 18, 2026, the settlement has sparked intense public controversy because Trump administration officials refuse to rule out using the taxpayer-backed fund to issue financial payouts to January 6, 2021, Capitol rioters.

The City of New Orleans is working on synchronizing traffic lights; Where do we need synchronizing the most?

An expert says Washington is in a "tizzy" over the $1.8B settlement Trump's Justice Department made with him. But will Congress oppose it, especially after what happened to Bill Cassidy and others in the GOP who angered the president? We dive into that, and into the new trend of AI lawyers, plus, whether we really want our politics to be nasty.

During the trip, Landry reportedly offered Greenlandic children a chance to come to Louisiana, where they could eat all the chocolate chip cookies they want. Are you proud to see Louisiana's governor serving as an envoy to Greenland, or should he be home doing the job of governor?

Everyone hates the President's $1.776 billion dollar slush fund that he will use to pay out his political allies, including those who have been committed of serious crimes, even violent ones. Just like the Founders envisioned, right guys?

Paul McCartney thinks more classic Beatles tunes can cure what ails America. Is the solution to our broken politics to be found in the tracks of the Fab Four?

As summer 2026 ramps up ahead of Memorial Day, two teenagers opened fire at a mosque in San Diego. We check in on that, plus the new Ebola outbreak, Nancy Pelosi's pick for Congress, and how Donald Trump made Sen. Bill Cassidy pay for voting to impeach in his last term.

Greedy people who want more power over our lives want us to believe the Founding Fathers would be supportive of their efforts to merge our government with the Christian church

It's not wrong to be white, or a Christian, or a patriot. But when you start using that as a justification that you deserve more power and prestige than everyone else based on those specific attributes, we have a problem

It's the end of an era with the end of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. So, what does it mean for the future of television? And is Gen Z putting the future of the cocktail industry at risk?

Pour one out for Parkview Tavern; ONE DRIP THAT'S IT! Sampling Morris Bart's new hot sauce - with Morris Bart; What did Trump really accomplish with his big China trip? Retroactively explaining the reasoning for the Iran war, chapter infinity; Newsmax cable critter thinks "The Odyssey" is not historically accurate

We're confused. Iran was so close to getting a nuke we had to blow up their nuke stuff - then blow it up again - now we have to make sure they can't get a nuke, so we're gonna keep bombing until morale improves

Can you imagine being this fragile? This just in, for the idiots who don't know - the new Christopher Nolan film "The Odyssey" is not meant to be historically accurate, and if it were, you'd probably still be crying "it's too woke" into your beer.

Just because Trump said there's a deal on soybeans, or jets, or AI, or Taiwan, or Hormuz... that's no guarantee there's actually a deal. Haven't we seen this movie before?

Iconic attorney Morris Bart is in studio to tell us about his new hot sauce, with 100% of proceeds going to charities and filling up shelves at Rouses right now. It's damn tasty!

We are once again left to wonder if Trump wants a third term; The lesson Irvin Mayfield taught New Orleans libraries; Democratic Senator says his own party is increasingly Anti-American; Democrat John Fetterman is a very effective GOP messenger; We are not gonna accept the dumbest, meanest framing of trans sports debate

We're once again asking if it's right or fair for trans women athletes to be competing with biological females, but some people want to have a much dumber, uglier conversation instead

If you can't open your trap without something smarter than "trans women are just men in women's clothes," we can't have a real conversation about the part of this that actually matters

Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman says his party is becoming increasingly Anti-American. What is he talking about - and is he right?

Irvin Mayfield's big fraud scheme inspired New Orleans library stakeholders to make a significant change to make sure they're never taken advantage of again

With all the hoopla about the ballroom and the naming rights and everything else - we are left once more to wonder if Trump is really gonna peacefully leave office in January 2029

There's no question the entire Trump family is substantially richer now than they were before he started his second term - but where is the money coming from, exactly?
