Before day drinking with Karl Anthony-Towns, Emma pretaped two interviews. First, she is joined by Ken Klippenstein, investigative journalist and publisher of KlipNews on Substack, for a conversation about the 15 anti-ICE activists arrested by the DOJ under NSPM-7. Then Emma is joined by Melat Kiros, candidate for Co-1 Congressional District.

This resulted in her having to change venues three-times and ultimately holding the rally on the steps of the state capitol without Piker. Donald Trump has changed his tune on Iran, now saying they have a right to defend themselves and is fine with them developing ballistic missiles.

If this is true than they would be the first NBA team to visit the White House during either of Trump's terms.

Ken and Lima dig into the emerging podcast scene with a wide-ranging conversation about whether the Knicks' championship should change how Cleveland thinks about its own title ceiling, given that nobody believed New York had a real shot either. Ken challenges the lazy narrative shortcuts in sports media — "no dog in him," "can't win with this guy" — arguing that Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns just blew up most of those talking points in one playoff run. The De'Aaron Fox odds hitting the wire sparks a debate about whether any Cavs move short of LeBron or Giannis will actually excite the fan base, with Ken concluding Cleveland is stuck in that frustrating Kings-Blazers purgatory of being good but not taken seriously. Lima pushes back with the Knicks as Exhibit A that running it back with the right chemistry can surprise everyone, leaving both hosts genuinely uncertain whether the Cavs need a blockbuster or just some good fortune.

The New York Knicks are NBA champions, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into what makes this title feel so different. After decades of heartbreak, near misses, and painful memories, Knicks fans finally get their day of glory as the city celebrates a team that won with toughness, maturity, and total belief. Evan and Tiki break down Jalen Brunson's legendary Game 5 performance, the roster's unlikely construction, the culture that carried them, and the emotional release for generations of Knicks fans. From Brunson and OG Anunoby to Josh Hart, Karl Anthony Towns, Mitchell Robinson, and the rest of the roster, this episode captures why every member of this championship team is now part of Knicks history.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber revisit the late game decisions that helped seal the Knicks championship, focusing on Mitchell Robinson's massive offensive rebound and San Antonio's costly foul strategy. The conversation turns into a breakdown of why Mike Brown and the Knicks looked prepared for the biggest moments while the Spurs were still learning how to handle them. They also dig into the maturity that defined this Knicks team throughout the run, from their calm public messaging to the way they handled pressure, ego, and internal tension. Jalen Brunson's control, Karl Anthony Towns' buy in, and the roster's veteran poise stand in sharp contrast to a talented but inexperienced Spurs team that could not close the door.

On this episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones is joined by Tom Haberstroh to break down why Victor Wembanyama has completely changed this series and why the New York Knicks suddenly look like they're running out of answers. They dig into Wemby's dominance on both ends, how San Antonio keeps getting him downhill and at the rim, and why Tom thinks the Spurs should actually feel like they could be up 3-0 right now. Bomani and Tom also get into what's going wrong for the Knicks late in games, including Jalen Brunson's extreme ball dominance, the lack of flow in New York's offense, and Karl-Anthony Towns disappearing in crunch time after such a strong start to the series. From there, they discuss whether the Knicks can make the adjustments needed in Game 4, whether Wemby has already become the biggest force in the series, and why his physical edge and swagger are turning him into one of the most polarizing stars in the league. They also hit the controversial officiating around Wemby's contact with Brunson, the NBA's response to that play, what this matchup says about who's built for the moment, and even where Jalen Brunson belongs in the all-time Knicks conversation.
