Opie and Ron the Waiter go off on Ryan Seacrest and toxic childhoods! Ever wondered why Ryan Seacrest dominates the airwaves while the rest of us scramble for scraps? In this end-of-year special, Opie and Ron dive into Seacrest's multimillion-dollar success, hilarious New Year's Eve rivalries with Anderson Cooper, and Ron's wild family tales—from dumping ashes in a muddy lake to childhood beatings over bagels. Tune in for raw laughs and insights that might just inspire you to build your own unbreakable hustle in 2026.
Jason Fraley chats with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, who co-host “New Year's Eve Live” tonight on CNN for the ninth straight year at Times Square in New York City. They spoke when their comedy tour AC² hit Warner Theatre in Washington D.C. back in 2018. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")
We're ending the year in a wonderfully bleak Vermont valley, already covered in snow and taking on more. Spend the night listening as the small flakes pile up around you and the winds howl over the peaks.The holidays are gone, we flip the calendar back to the beginning with a new number to reign over it all. January, 2026. Ensconced in winter's tomb until mid-April. But it sure looks pretty. The slight nighttime glow of Vermont's small giants, the Green Mountains, covered in white, can make even the dullest early months feel magical. Just don't forget to silence your phone — while we may be near South Royalton and far enough from everywhere else — the 5G will still bring in the incessant pocket buzzing of your phone (This is Vermont not the Oort cloud. You can get NYE messaging here).Look, I'm pretty sure many of the other New Year's–adjacent uncommon ambience posts are painted with personal feelings about my least favorite holiday. I'm not here to rain on anyone's ball droppings — I've done that enough already. This is the day we celebrate “new beginnings” while our health care costs reset, local governments enact unpopular new rules, and we stand in front of couches or bar stools toasting “my year!”And all night, messages and group chat alerts from all the people in our lives.The cinephile friends continuing their NYE phone-buzzing group chat that you somehow got added to. Tonight they started a movie together at an exact time so the Statue of Liberty smashes the roof of the Manhattan Museum of Art at exactly midnight.And you know damn well why you were added to that group — it was that movie take you absentmindedly assented that got you added to that group chat. Something about Rachel Dawes being swapped with Ellie Burr without changing either movie. It was a crowded party. A buddy was dangling on a trembling limb of being labeled “weird,” and so you swooped in with a reflexive “totally agree.”Now you're in a movie-people chat. Tonight they're watching Ghostbusters II, randomly dealing out their dark-horse New Year's movies, when — guys — you won. We've ceded Die Hard to Christmas. We don't need to do that with every holiday.There will be folks accounting for an earlier wave of pocket buzzing — the folks who don't salute any dropping ball and want that known. Sending out all flavors of “in bed at 8 p.m., ttyl!”Also, the post-midnight flurry of photos: sleeping children. They almost made it! Oh, how wholesome. You knew Anderson Cooper and platform-specific lip-synching wasn't going to keep your kids awake.The counter-culture folks still picking up Animal Crossing New Leaf for their long abandoned town's celebration — And… I'm mocking NYE again — probably for the third year in a row.Maybe spend a quiet evening amongst the snow of Southern Vermont. It'll work great at counteracting whatever fireworks your neighbor saved from the 4th of July and is definitely setting off tonight. Nighttime winter Southern Vermont snow. Wind over the Green Mountains, falling snow, and quiet rural winter sounds. An ambient sound podcast episode for sleep, focus, and relaxation (trying some SEO suggestions from a pal as I typically use this entire text block to rant — I wouldn't need to do this if y'all felt like subscribing to uncommon ambience. Make it your New Year's resolution to subscribe to the scrappy little sound podcast that only wants success for you in the new year — unless you're evil.Episode art made in photoshop.

2025 was not a normal year — it was a pressure test.In this extended, teleprompter-ready year-end special of What's New with ME, host Ali Mehdaoui delivers a powerful, chronological recap of the biggest global headlines from January 1, 2025 through year's end — blending investigative clarity, sharp satire, and earned empathy.This episode cuts through the noise to examine the stories that reshaped politics, media, and public trust in 2025, including:• Donald Trump's return to the White House and its global impact• The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and international fatigue• Gaza, ceasefires, and the humanitarian cost of endless retaliation• The resurfacing of the Epstein scandals and unanswered accountability• The tragic killing of Charlie Kirk and the national reckoning that followed• Widespread protests, polarization, and the collapse of civil discourse• Climate disasters that turned ideology into invoices• The acceleration of artificial intelligence and its real-world consequences• A historic American pope and the return of faith to public conversation• Elections across the world marked by distrust and instabilityTold in a voice inspired by Anderson Cooper's moral clarity, Jimmy Kimmel's observational wit, and Bill Maher's uncomfortable honesty, this episode does not chase outrage or clicks — it delivers context.This is not about left vs. right.It's about truth vs. noise.Humanity vs. performance.And what 2025 revealed about who we are — and who we still need to become.If you're looking for a serious, thoughtful, and unflinching recap of the year that refused to whisper, this episode is for you.
What happens when the person preaching on Sunday morning believes something completely different than the folks sitting in the pews? Well friends, that's exactly what we're digging into today. My buddy Ryan Burge brought the graphs—including some brand new data that hasn't even dropped on his Substack yet—and let me tell you, it's a real deal predicament for Mainline Protestantism. Turns out about 60-70% of mainline clergy identify as liberal, but only about 25% of the people in the pews do. That's not a gap, that's a canyon. We're talking ELCA, UCC, PCUSA, Episcopalians—the whole crew. And look, Ryan and I are both mainline folks, so we're not throwing rocks across the river here. We're throwing rocks at our own faces. We get into why this disconnect exists, what the "silver tsunami" of aging Boomers means for these congregations, and why young progressive folks aren't joining our churches even though we thought we built them a home. It's honest, it's a little uncomfortable, and yeah, we also talk about Zion Williamson and Christmas movies because that's just how we roll. If you want to go deeper on where American religion is headed, join me and Ryan along with Tony Jones for our upcoming class The Rise of the Nones this January at www.AmericanNones.com. Come on. You can WATCH the conversation and see the graphs on YouTube Dr. Ryan Burge is a professor of practice at the Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis. He is the author or co-author of four books including The Nones, The American Religious Landscape, and The Great Dechurching. He has written for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and POLITICO.

UPCOMING ONLINE CLASS: The Rise of the Nones One-third of Americans now claim no religious affiliation. That's 100 million people. But here's what most church leaders get wrong: they're not all the same. Some still believe in God. Some are actively searching. Some are quietly indifferent. Some think religion is harmful. Ryan Burge & Tony Jones have conducted the first large-scale survey of American "Nones", which reveals 4 distinct categories—each requiring a different approach.

For the final episode of season three, Gabe and Chris explore just what makes locker rooms such exciting spaces to cruise, with the help of the very fit and very funny comedian Jay Jurden. Like many queer people, Jay recalls being attracted to other guys while changing in his high school locker room. But it wasn’t until he became an in-demand trainer at New York’s cruisiest gym that Jay got a front-row seat for sexual shenanigans hotter than anything on Pornhub. To celebrate his debut Hulu comedy special, “Yes, Maam”, Jay cracks our hosts up with stories about what he’s witnessed in locker rooms over the years, what bodily fluid he told Anderson Cooper he should drink to get swole, and his expert advice for cruising in the locker room.

CNN announced in September that...they were launching a show in late-night. CNN hired Elex Michaelson to host the show...which premiered on October 27th. Unfortunately for CNN...Elex Michaelson is experiencing colossal failure. We reveal and react to CNN ratings in late-night. We discuss Elex Michaelson ratings being easily beaten...by reruns of Anderson Cooper and Erin Burnett. We question why CNN would launch a show in a late-night genre...that's clearly struggling to survive. We also explain why this failure isn't Elex Michaelson fault...and why this further proves that CNN is a dying brand. SUBSCRIBE TO BEHIND THE LINE - SHORTS: https://www.youtube.com/@btlshorts-84
Un opéra grandiose en quatre actes mettant en scène une lutte à mort entre Lady Gaga et elle-même. Du 13 au 22 novembre, la chanteuse était en France pour six dates où elle était au sommet de son art, mêlant chant en direct, chorégraphies, costumes XXL et scénographie dantesque.Au cœur de l'histoire qui se dessine en filigrane de chanson en chanson, on devine le malaise, voire le rejet qu'a pu lui inspirer son encombrant et grandiloquent personnage. Qui remportera cette bataille d'identités ?Car quand Lady Gaga débarque en 2008 sur la planète pop, personne ne sait à qui on a vraiment affaire. Avec son album The Fame, elle incarne une icône qui baigne dans la célébrité et l'ego trip. Est-ce un personnage ? Si la chanteuse revendique ouvertement une filiation avec des artistes comme David Bowie ou Prince, familiers des doubles artistiques, difficile à l'époque de savoir ce qui relève du personnage Lady Gaga ou de la jeune femme derrière les imposantes lunettes de soleil, Stefani Germanotta.A l'occasion de cette série de concerts en France, « L'Heure du Monde » vous propose de revenir quinze ans en arrière, au démarrage de la carrière de la chanteuse, afin de percer le mystère Lady Gaga.Un épisode écrit par Jean-Guillaume Santi et réalisé par Amandine Robillard.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Franklin Camargo and CJ Pearson about Sam Harris shocking "Triggernometry's" Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster with who he blames for creating the conditions for Charlie Kirk's assassination and why he thinks Donald Trump deserves to win a Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the Israel peace deal with Hamas and the return of the Israeli hostages; Nalin Haley explaining to Tucker Carlson why legal immigrants are turning against H-1B visas, international students and dual citizenship; Nancy Pelosi giving her first interview since announcing her retirement and telling CNN's Anderson Cooper the real reason that she's retiring now; how Zohran Mamdani's "defund the police" position could lead NYC to have more brutal crimes like the one just committed by Lawrence Reed in Chicago, where he set a woman on fire on a CTA train; Fox News' Martha MacCallum getting into a tense exchange with Democrat Jason Crow about his telling U.S. military that they have the right to refuse illegal orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump; and much more.

How did America's richest family, once worth the equivalent of $200 billion, lose everything in just three generations? In this episode of History's Greatest Idiots, we explore the spectacular rise and catastrophic fall of the Vanderbilt dynasty, from the ruthless Commodore who built a fortune through steamships and railroads, to his descendants who spent it all on mansions, parties, and drinking themselves to death.This is the story of how to lose $200 billion in 95 years, one absurdly expensive mansion at a time.What You'll Discover:How Cornelius "The Commodore" Vanderbilt built America's largest fortune through ruthlessness and refusing to spend money on anything (including his dying mother's medical care)How his son Billy multiplied the fortune to $200 million (over $200 billion today) in just eight yearsThe $11 million mansion wars that turned Fifth Avenue into a Vanderbilt showcaseAlva Vanderbilt's $8 million costume ball (equivalent to $300 million today) that bankrupted New York's other wealthy families, trying to competeHow Cornelius II built a 70-room "summer cottage" in Newport that cost $12 million ($450 million in today's money)Why Reginald Vanderbilt drank and gambled away $10.5 million in just 23 years and died at age 45How Consuelo Vanderbilt was literally sold to a British Duke for $95 million to buy the family a titleAlfred Vanderbilt's terrible luck with transportation (dodged the Titanic, died on the Lusitania)The 1973 family reunion where 120 Vanderbilt descendants gathered and not one was a millionaireHow Anderson Cooper and Timothy Olyphant became the last wealthy Vanderbilts by doing something radical: getting a jobFrom Empire to Museum Tours: The Vanderbilts once controlled 10% of all money in America. They built the largest private homes in American history, threw parties that cost hundreds of millions, and lived like European royalty. Then they divided the fortune among multiple heirs, built mansions they couldn't afford to maintain, never worked, and spent wildly on gambling, alcohol, and social climbing.The Mathematics of Destruction: The Commodore left everything to one son (smart). That son split it among eight children (less smart). Those eight split it among dozens of grandchildren (financially suicidal). By the third generation, the money was so divided that maintaining the lavish lifestyle became impossible. The Great Depression accelerated the collapse, but the real problem was simple: they spent faster than the fortune could sustain.The Mansions That Bankrupted a Dynasty: One by one, the legendary Vanderbilt palaces were demolished or given away because nobody could afford the property taxes, heating costs, and servants. The Triple Palace on Fifth Avenue became a shopping plaza. Cornelius II's mansion was torn down after just 40 years. Today, tourists pay $30 to tour The Breakers, the ultimate irony: come see where we used to be rich.Anderson Cooper's Revolutionary Concept: When Gloria Vanderbilt died in 2019, Anderson inherited $1.5 million (not $150 million, not $15 million). But Anderson is worth $50 million because he earned it as a journalist. He built his fortune the old-fashioned way: by working. And he plans to give it all to charity, officially ending the Vanderbilt fortune after 150 years.https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiotshttps://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiotshttps://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiotsArtist: Sarah Cheyhttps://www.fiverr.com/sarahcheyAnimation: Daniel Wilsonhttps://www.instagram.com/wilson_the_wilson/Music: Andrew Wilsonhttps://www.instagram.com/andrews_electric_sheep

On this episode: Prince Andrew's “big news” move finally looks real, with chatter pointing to Royal Lodge exit drama and a scramble for new digs. Meghan Markle drops a $64 “As Ever” candle that claims to smell like her wedding day, and the internet's nose is… skeptical. George Clooney is reportedly boiling over a salacious Ghislaine Maxwell claim tied to Virginia Giuffre's memoir, and the pushback is fierce. Plus: Andy Cohen's Call Her Daddy revelations about John Mayer, Anderson Cooper, and a ketamine anecdote that belongs in a museum; fresh Taylor Swift reporting about behind-the-scenes “requests”; and Trump insisting the Gaza cease-fire will hold even after new strikes.#PrinceAndrew #MeghanMarkle #GeorgeClooneyDonate to the Star Legacy Foundation in the name of Diana Hope - https://secure.qgiv.com/event/letsnotbestillnewyork-2025/Get more AoA and become a member to get exclusive access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOfx0OFE-uMTmJXGPpP7elQ/joinGet Erin C's book here: https://amzn.to/3ITDoO7Get Merch here - https://bit.ly/AnthonyMerchSubscribe to the Anthony On Air Podcast here:Facebook - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirFBYouTube - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirYTApple Podcast - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirAppleSpotify - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirSpotTwitter - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirTwitterInstagram - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirInstaTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@anthonyonairpodDiscord - https://discord.gg/78V469aV22Get more at https://www.AnthonyOnAir.com
The legacy left media is really having a meltdown about the new Trump Ballroom and the teardown of the East Wing. However, it was Anderson Cooper who took the cake in dramatic reaction, take a listen.
It's Trump's house and the left is throwing a huge fit over the construction of the East Wing Ballroom, even Anderson Cooper wanted to cry. The biggest scandal in sport's history is just beginning but if you ask Stephen A. Smith whose fault this is, his answer is the same as any other liberal. The democratic rhetoric amps up by the day to get violent against ICE, plus, fabulous Shri Thandar, The Dandy Project in Scottsdale, clowns of the week, and we end another week with our weekly prayer. The Conservative Circus had another fun day, hope we don't lose another listner.

After a forty-eight-day ordeal, she was rescued, her brother wasn't. Surviving those weeks in the woods was only the beginning of her harrowing journey. In the following years she struggled to outrun her trauma, a pattern of self-destructive behavior shadowing her like an ever-worsening thunderstorm. But she still had hope buried deep inside, every bit as much as the little girl who had been held captive in the woods. This would be an all-new battle for Shasta. And she was determined not to lose.In this EXCLUSIVE Part 1 Episode, Shasta recounts in graphic and harrowing detail, the events leading up and including the murder of her family in front of her, and her abduction and the forty-eight day ordeal and her eventual escape!Shasta's experience has been turned into an amazing book by #1 New York Times Best Selling author Gregg Olsen who will feature along with Shasta in Part 2. The book is: ‘OUT OF THE WOODS: A Girl, a Killer, and Lifelong Struggle to Find the Way Home'Gregg was able to get Shasta to open up and share her trauma.

We are just shy of two weeks since Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Charlie sought to dialogue with those who disagreed to prove him wrong. Those who hated him, hated him fiercely for his beliefs, both his conservative political beliefs, which flowed from his spiritual beliefs, but also his belief in Christianity and Jesus Christ. However, Charlie was not about riots and uprisings; he believed in dialogue. This was the very matter as you'll hear in an audio clip of Van Jones as he sat with Anderson Cooper to describe his relationship with Charlie Kirk last week on CNN. Next, Jim referenced a New York Post article that noted how some 200,000 people turned out to honor Charlie Kirk on Sunday, including President Trump, who called Charlie a "patriot who's heart still had so much to give." State Farm stadium had a capacity of 73,000 yet filled up within hours. Next up were members of President Trump's Administration who were not shy when talking about the spiritual impact of Charlie. This included audio clips from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. While many Crosstalk listeners may have heard Erika Kirk's address, there are many who have not. Jim shared it in its entirety courtesy of TPUSA.com along with final comments from Christian apologist Frank Turek and Charlie's pastor, Rob McCoy.

Send us a textWhat happens when you discover your family tree has branches on both sides of America's racial divide? Dr. Spenser Simrill Jr.'s journey began with simple curiosity about his family name and evolved into a profound story of reconciliation that's now the subject of a CNN documentary.In this episode Bishop Wright has a conversation with Dr. Spenser Simrill Jr. and his discovery while teaching family history at the University of Georgia. Spenser found an alternate spelling of his surname that unlocked an unexpected connection – in 1871, a Black woman named Harriet Simrill testified against the Ku Klux Klan in a federal Reconstruction trial. Given the distinctive nature of his family name, Spenser realized there must be a connection through enslavement. This suspicion was confirmed when he found a Facebook suggestion for a Black man his age from his father's hometown with the original spelling of their shared surname.Eleven years later, the two families reunite annually, have produced an Audible podcast called "Once Removed: An American Family Reunion," and are featured in CNN's "A Family in Black and White." Their story challenges the notion that denial is the only way to handle difficult historical truths. Instead, Spenser demonstrates how confronting these realities leads to healing and wholeness. Spenser's work reminds us that we are one human family despite our painful history. By choosing to be storytellers who look unflinchingly at reality, we become "peace warriors" committed to recognizing our fundamental interconnectedness. Listen in for the full conversation. Dr. Spenser Simrill Jr, is the creator of the Once Removed podcast and a TEDx speaker on racial healing. His research has informed reconciliation efforts in Northern Ireland, Liberia, and across the American South—culminating in the first historical marker in South Carolina to mention the Ku Klux Klan.His work has appeared on CNN's The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, Audible Originals, The New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and TEDx Asheville.His students have won multiple international competitions, including two wins and an honorable mention in The New York Times Best Student Podcast Contest. Spenser lives with his family in Arden, North Carolina, and teaches at Christ School.Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.
“We’re not empty containers just being filled up with fear and terror and trauma,” says psychotherapist Francis Weller. “We’re also medicine carriers.” Many of you will know Weller from his moving conversations about grief with Anderson Cooper, or his beautiful book The Wild of Edge of Sorrow. Weller’s new book, In the Absence of Ordinary, is exactly what we need now. Today, we talk about the wisdom and vitality that our grief can bring forth if we resist the impulse to go numb. Weller talks about what happens when we keep our grief company, when we allow it to keep moving, when we give ourselves what we’ve so been needing. He invites us, in this time of uncertainty, to move toward imagination, and what he calls the long dark—a space where we can connect with our own immensity, and collectively receive the medicine that is waiting there for all of us. For the show notes (including links to the new edition of The Wild Edge of Sorrow and In the Absence of Ordinary, which was just released), head over to my Substack.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Monday, President Donald Trump held a multilateral meeting from the White House—which included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. During an interview with Fox & Friends, Trump emphasized “you have my assurance” there will be no U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine. 3:15pm- The far-left continues to downplay President Trump's peace efforts—with some media members insisting Trump has been too cordial to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Rich argues: “we can be the world's marriage counselor,” it's better than being the “world's police department.” 3:30pm- Rich can't remember names, none of the televisions are working in the studios, Matt gets yelled at (shocking), and Andrew is filling in for Justin! 3:40pm- Former Vice President Kamala Harris accuses Texas Republicans of “cheating” via redistricting—and claims the GOP wants to “dilute” the Democrat vote. Rich argues that someone should be “diluting” Harris's drinks. 4:05pm- Matt Rooney— Founder of SaveJersey.com, State Director of the American First Policy Institute of New Jersey, & Host of The Matt Rooney Show on 1210 WPHT (Saturdays 7pm to 9pm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss news that the owner of NJ.com & The Star Ledger has contributed over $400,000 to Democrats, including $16,7000 to Mikie Sherrill. 4:30pm- Should parents be criminally punished for children who act irresponsibly and break the law? PLUS, Rich actually takes a listener's call! 5:05pm- On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke with reporters about President Trump's efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, calling him “the peace president” and noting that “what we've witnessed President Trump accomplish over the last few days has been nothing short of remarkable. We are now 3.5 years into the war between Russia and Ukraine...Thanks to President Trump's efforts, we finally have movement after years of deadly gridlock." 5:15pm- In a post to X, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard wrote: “Over the past few months, I've been working closely with our partners in the UK, alongside the president and vice president, to ensure Americans' private data remains private and our Constitutional rights and civil liberties are protected. As a result, the UK has agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a ‘back door' that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties.” 5:20pm- Andrew asks if he can place an order for takeout pizza from Rich's at-home pizza oven. Plus, does New Haven have the best pizza in the world? 5:30pm- U.S. Boots on the Ground? On Monday, President Donald Trump held a multilateral meeting from the White House—which included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. During an interview with Fox & Friends, Trump emphasized “you have my assurance” there will be no U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine. 5:45pm- Did Rich mention he was on Fox News earlier today? 6:05pm- The far-left continues to dismiss President Trump's efforts to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. Former U.S. National Security Advisor Susan Rice baselessly told Anderson Cooper that “Trump melted like ice in the Alaska sun.” Meanwhile, CBS's John Dickerson foolishly hinted that Vladimir Putin should have been arrested the moment he stepped on U.S. soil. 6:20pm- While appearing on Fox News with Laura Ingraham, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte praised President Trump—explaining he has been “amazing” during negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

So, why are elements of corporate media pushing a wildly different narrative? 6:30pm- During her Tuesday's briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shredded members of the media who are ostensibly advocating for the continuation of a ruinous war. 6:40pm- While appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast, Rep.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Jessimae Peluso stops by the studio! Adam starts off with a bleak observation about Malibu's slow recovery, noting that the local Equinox has been shuttered for six months while the Taco Bell across the street never closed. Jessimae and Adam take a look at Erewhon's absurd prices—including Hailey Bieber's $20 smoothie and question the legitimacy of trendy health fads like sea moss. They also weigh in on the bizarre cultural crossover of celebrities like Travis Scott having signature smoothies and McDonald's meals, and wrap up the segment with a cringe-worthy clip of E. Jean Carroll's awkward interview with Anderson Cooper.In the news, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins to cover some wild headlines. A former MLB pitcher has been convicted of murdering his father-in-law in a chilling home invasion that involved hours of shocking security footage. Then, things take a lighter, but weirder turn with a viral TikTok story about single women in Manhattan allegedly stealing lunches to get dates, hoping a swiped salad will turn into romance via LinkedIn. Finally, they review a new 2028 Democratic primary poll showing Kamala Harris as an early frontrunner, despite her recent landslide loss to Donald Trump.Legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao calls in to talk about his upcoming WBC welterweight title fight against Mario Barrios. He opens up about how his training and recovery have changed with age, and reflects on his long relationship with legendary trainer Freddie Roach.

Beth Van Duyne about the massive increase in funding ICE agents from the One Big Beautiful Bill to support Trump's mass deportation push; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt telling Fox News' Jesse Watters why Stacey Abrams comments about the border crisis prove how out of touch Democrats are with voters; CNN's Wolf Blitzer being unable to get Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries to simply condemn far-left political violence; John Fetterman breaking from Demcorats idiotic talking points and supporting ICE agents in doing their job to deport illegal immigrants; Scott Jennings' common sense response to the Lulu Garcia-Navarro's freak out over work requirements for Medicaid and the dangers of dependence caused by welfare; CNN's Anderson Cooper spreading baseless rumors about Kristi Noem holding up FEMA's disaster relief to the areas hit by the catastrophic Texas flooding; Donald Trump's blunt response to news of a criminal investigation being launched to look into James Comey and John Brennan; and much more.
