The Scoot Show with Scoot

Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen has experienced a massive national ratings collapse since taking over CBS's late night. Viewership has dropped by up to 85% to 87% compared to the final episodes of its predecessor, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Despite the severe decline in viewers, CBS executives state the new programming is a financial win due to a unique leasing agreement. Former New Orleans City Councilman Jared Brossett was scheduled for a court appearance tied to his latest DWI allegation, reportedly his fourth. Do we know what happened in court and what should happen when a public official keeps facing the same kind of charge? At what point is this no longer just a personal problem but a public one?

As the rhetoric keeps changing about what we were trying to do in Iran and whether it succeeded, some are at their breaking point, including farmers.

Public employees across the United States are winning major six-figure financial settlements after filing First Amendment lawsuits over being fired or disciplined for social media comments regarding the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Then, Scoot exposes his "News Briefs" and talks about the "vandalized" "American Flag Blue Reflecting Pool" and the U.S. getting the short end of the stick in the Iran deal.

A Fox News article argues that some sports media outlets are trying to decide which American fans are allowed to cheer for Team USA at the World Cup. Is there a liberal bias in sports media, or is this just another example of every cultural moment getting dragged into politics? When you see World Cup coverage, do you think the media is celebrating America, judging America, or just looking for the easiest narrative? The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that a former Rastafarian inmate cannot sue individual state prison officials for money damages after they forcibly shaved off his knee-length dreadlocks.

On today's show, Scoot talks about former U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn getting arrested by the U.S. Park Police and charged with a misdemeanor for destruction of government property at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Then, the Supreme Court sided with a marijuana user challenging the federal ban on drug users owning guns. As pot becomes legal and more accepted in more places, should someone who smokes marijuana be allowed to own a firearm? Should it be treated like alcohol, or is there a real public safety concern?  Finally, a new study says phones are not just taking over kids' lives at the dinner table. Parents are just as bad, if not worse: nearly 70% of kids and 78% of parents used a device during their last family meal. Do you put your phone away when you eat, or has dinner just become screen time with chewing?
