After Donald Trump publicly berated Kaitlan Collins of CNN for pressing him about the Jeffrey Epstein files, he used a cheap power move familiar to women worldwide. "Why aren't you smiling?" Because apparently women exist to decorate the room — and keep powerful men comfortable. It's also a great way to deflect questions you don't want to answer. In this episode, we unpack the long history of telling women to "smile" — and why it's one of the most annoying things men can say next to....oh, about anything. We examine how policing women's expressions becomes a way to reassert dominance, derail accountability and minimize a woman's place in a professional seetting. Because when a woman is told to smile, it's rarely about happiness. It's about control. We want to hear from you. Do you have a story we need to discuss or a guest we should feature?

Dear Humans, Today we replayed the moment Trump tried to dodge Epstein questions from Kaitlan Collins by doing what he always does with a woman reporter: insults, sexism, and "why don't you smile." Then we watched her go on Colbert and explain the obvious: you don't "smile" while asking questions about survivors. Her calm response made his behavior look even worse. We also covered: Ted Lieu laying out what the law actually says about "party guys" and accountability Wexner doing the "I was duped" routine on the day he's being questioned Europe pushing forward with investigations while the U.S. keeps trying to stall They want you tired and quiet. Don't give them the Me-damned satisfaction. Love, God
Several major holidays including Lunar New Year, Ramadan and Mardi Gras converged today, Americans are less hopeful than ever, several business leaders and European politicians have been ousted over their ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and Stephen reads some titillating poetry written by California gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell. Next up, Stephen Colbert goes on the record about his interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico, the FCC's “equal time” rule, and today's statement from CBS. And Kaitlan Collins talks about the conversations she's had with women who survived sexual abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and others in his circle, and what motivates those women to continue to press for their abusers to be brought to justice.

Dear Humans, Today on The God Show, Jesus and I covered the National Prayer Breakfast, where Donald Trump did his usual holy cosplay while the Epstein story keeps tightening around his neck. At one point he literally told the country to "move on," which is a totally normal thing to say when you're innocent. Then the opening prayer happened. Rep. Jonathan Jackson stood right in front of Trump and prayed for him to find compassion, courage, and clarity, while directly referencing the families burying their loved ones in Minneapolis. In other words: he told Donald to stop being a monster, right to his stupid face. Watching that evil bastard stew through it was pure catharsis. (NOTE: The prayer begins around the 18 minute mark). On today's episode of The God Show, Jesus and I also covered: Trump throwing Pam Bondi under the bus while trying to create legal cover for the Georgia election raid Trump attacking Kaitlan Collins for asking about Epstein survivors, including the "they released too much" lie AI misinformation Epstein distractions and Zoran Mamdani's response A quick run through headlines, including Dem leaders caving on the mask ban for federal immigration agents, GOP retirements, and Elon getting ordered to sit for a deposition

Donald Trump non ha un buon rapporto con i giornalisti, diciamo meglio: non ha un buon rapporto con i giornalisti che gli fanno delle domande alle quali non vuole rispondere o quelli che pubblicano notizie a lui non gradite. Gli scontri con i giornalisti durante la sua prima presidenza sono diventati purtroppo materiale di studio per i sociologi dei media. Ora è il turno di Kaitlan Collins, giornalista della CNN

Morning Rush Hour is packed
Trump did it again yesterday. He hurled ugly, sexist insults at a female White House reporter. This time it was CNN's Kaitlan Collins. And once again, not one other reporter in the Oval Office said a damn thing. Cowards. Also, some more scary attacks on free speech coming from DHS. Hosted on Acast.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dives into a charged news cycle, beginning with the U.S. military shooting down an Iranian Shahed‑139 drone that “aggressively” approached the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea — an incident that heightened already‑tense U.S.–Iran relations and occurred just hours before Iranian forces harassed a U.S.–flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. In entertainment news, renewed industry chatter suggests that Wendy Williams may return to television in 2026 following a major legal victory that could soon release her from her mental‑health conservatorship, prompting serious behind‑the‑scenes talks with her former production partner, Debmar‑Mercury. The show also explores the emotional revelations of Reshona Landfair — formerly the Jane Doe at the center of R. Kelly’s infamous underage tape — who has stepped into the public eye to reclaim her identity and recount decades of silence, manipulation, and trauma as detailed in her new memoir Who’s Watching Shorty?.

Synopsis: As global military spending skyrockets and social programs face drastic cuts, a 50-year-old alternative emerges as a beacon of hope: the Lucas Plan, born from workers' determination to repurpose their skills for societal good.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description [Original release date July 2025]: With the passage of the Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill” and NATO allies pledging to more than double their spending on defense as a portion of all economic output, military spending around the world is soaring, while spending on meeting social needs and the climate crisis is on the chopping block. Governments often justify spending public money this way by saying it will create good jobs, but what if the workers themselves had a say? Fifty years ago, employees at Lucas Aerospace, a huge military contractor in the United Kingdom came up with an alternative plan. Their approach, known as the Lucas Plan, used the workers' same expertise, but directed production away from bombs, towards goods that actually help society. In this special episode, Laura heads to the UK to interview some of the original workers involved in the Lucas Plan and investigates what one senior government minister at the time called "one of the most remarkable exercises in all of British industrial history.” As she says, it's as relevant now as the day it was conceived.“What we're talking about is a poor economic choice that's being made to posture . . . and look like a big military power in a world that's growing increasingly unstable.” - Khem Rogaly“One of the things that the Lucas Plan has done is actually made it fairly clear to people that there are choices. You're given the impression that you have to make weapons. No, you don't. You're given the choice . . . The issue here is who controls technology and who should control technology, and should it be used to free people or should it be used to enslave people?” - Philip AsquithGuests:• Brian Salisbury: Former Lucas Aerospace Shop Steward• Philip Asquith: Former Lucas Aerospace Shop Steward• Hilary Wainwright: Co-Author, The Lucas Plan: A New Trade Unionism in the Making?; Co-Editor Red Pepper magazine• Khem Rogaly: Senior Research Fellow, Commonwealth; Author, A Lucas Plan for the Twenty First Century: From Asset Manager Arsenal to Green Industrial Strategy ADDITIONAL CREW: Stanley Arlidge - Episode Producer, Clementine Malpas, Tiger Nest FilmsSPECIAL THANKS: Karen Bell, Joe Guinan, Steve Schofield MUSIC CREDITS: Thrum of Soil by Blue Dot Sessions and original sound design by Jeannie Hopper RESOURCES:- Watch the episode released on YouTube July 11th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 13th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode) and airing on community radio (check here to see if your station airs the show) & available as a podcast July 16th.-Related Podcast: Uncut Conversation featuring Brian Salsibury, Former Lucas Aerospace Shop Steward-Related Podcast: Uncut Conversation featuring Hilary Wainwright, Co-Author, The Lucas Plan: A New Trade Unionism in the Making?; Co-Editor Red Pepper magazineFull Episode Notes are located HERE.

CNN was left out of the deal...when Netflix announced their intentions to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery last week. However...CNN could potentially have new owners...as the Ellison family wants to merge CNN with Skydance Media. According to the Daily Mail...the Ellisons have promised to fire CNN stars that Donald Trump doesn't like. We discuss the Ellisons acquiring CNN...and their promise to fire CNN stars that Donald Trump doesn't approve of. We discuss Erin Burnett and Brianna Keilar being named...and explain why Kaitlan Collins could be fired if the deal is approved. We also explain why this is a dangerous precedent...and how the government has never been the solution to any problem.

Todd breaks down Trump's push to end the Senate filibuster to reopen the government amid the Schumer-led shutdown and explains how cloture actually works. He spotlights Democrats' messaging versus procedure, why a carve-out for clean CR votes could expose the real holdup, and Speaker Mike Johnson's framing of the fight. Todd also flags the Pentagon's quick reaction force guidance for National Guard units, reports of an 8,000% surge in threats against ICE, and why some in media are—at least for once—asking Democrats tough questions. Soundbites include Rep. Hakeem Jeffries with Kaitlan Collins and Speaker Mike Johnson. Plus, a quick note on Gen Z trending more conservative and what that could mean next cycle. Conservative, not bitter—as always.

This week, Jason is joined by one of the most recognizable and respected journalists in America, Kaitlan Collins! Kaitlan is the anchor of The Source on CNN and CNN's Chief White House correspondent, where she brings clarity and accountability to the story shaping our world. As a Chief White House correspondent, she has covered both Trump and Biden and now Trump again and is making history as the youngest ever to hold that role at the network. She has reported from the halls of the White House to international summits, pressing world leaders about presidents alike with sharp, fearless questions. Kaitlan's rise from local Alabama roots is a story of ambition, resilience, and navigating the business of media at the highest level. Kaitlan Collins takes us inside the fast-paced world of political reporting, revealing what it's really like to cover the White House across multiple administrations. She shares how she broke into politics, the differences between presidencies, and what it means to have a direct line to the president. Kaitlan opens up about working at a conservative-leaning outlet early in her career, how that unexpected path led her to CNN, and the lessons she's learned about preparation, composure, and credibility in the chaos of live news. She reveals how correspondents vet information in real time, who taught her how to negotiate, the average length of a correspondent contract, and what her biggest “Grammy moment” has been on air. From question regret to staying objective, managing pressure in the briefing room, and protecting press access through every administration — Kaitlan gets candid about the realities, risks, and rewards of being one of the most trusted voices in political journalism. Kaitlan reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

Story #1: As the media warps their coverage of Charlie Kirk's assassination, from ABC describing it as a “love story” to CNN refusing to acknowledge the motive, Will argues that America is in a spiritual war of good vs. evil. A culture celebrating violence has lost its moral compass. Story #2: Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts joins Will to discuss what Charlie Kirk's assassination reveals about the Left's march through America's institutions. Roberts says tolerance has morphed into totalitarianism, and that it's time for courage, truth-telling, and cultural accountability to reclaim the country. Story #3: Gary Myers, Author of 'Brady vs. Belichick: The Dynasty Debate,' helps Will settle one of sports' greatest arguments: Was it Tom Brady or Bill Belichick who deserves more credit for the Patriots dynasty? Myers shares behind-the-scenes stories, insight from legends like Joe Montana, and why this debate is about more than just football, it's about leadership and legacy.
