The most unfunny late-night host (probably ever?), Stephen Colbert, will be hosting his last show tonight and instead of blaming the network, or himself for not making them money, it's of course Trump's fault!

A bill for the state to establish an oversight board for Memphis Shelby County Schools was APPROVED by the Tennessee State Senate and House.

It used to be Man Of The Year, then TIME changed it to Person. In 2025, it's not even that as the "Person Of The Year" is AI Architects. We think it's a cop out because it probably belonged to Donald Trump again, if we're being honest. Today's QOTW: Who should have won it, NOT NAMED Trump?

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The View has met their match. Stephen A. Smith is notorious for his strong opinions, and we should give credit where credit is due; he doesn't back down. Sunny Hostin called for Smith to apologize for bashing Sen. Mark Kelly for telling troops to disobey direct orders, and Smith wasn't having it. We react to the clips and break it all down.

Hitler is still popular, even 80 years after his death. People still compare politicians to him, make documentaries, and do impressions.

County Clerk Wanda Halbert owes taxpayers over $30,000 and hasn’t paid rent on her Millington branch office since 2023.

How ironic that the same people that celebrate Charlie Kirk's death for his speech, are the same people shocked and outraged that Jimmy Kimmel lost his job for his own speech? ABC has had enough of Kimmel after insinuating on air the Tyler Robinson was MAGA and pulled the plug early. Also on the show, quotes "we don't need the military, we need MONEY" have been expressed by Memphis Democrats who are totally against federal help in the form of action but are begging for that green green kind of help.

One day has passed and the main suspect's picture has been released by FBI officials, yet no arrests have been made for the duration of today's episode.

Karoline Leavitt. We break down all the reactions to her ridiculous statements. Also on the show, Gavin Newsome reveals he is bothered by the trolling of the Trump administration.

Also on the show, Danni Bruns from 98.1 The Max joins the show to give us an insight to her research and findings on the quadruple West TN killer, Austin Drummond. Syndicated columnist Ron Hart also joins the program to talk about the Democrat Texas runaways.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2003, President Trump ALLEGEDLY sent a provocative note and drew a sexually graphic image of a woman for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday.

Also on the show, we break down the cheating Coldplay canoodlers who were exposed, react to Shane Gillis' viral bits at the ESPY's, react to Stephen Colbert's late night show being canceled, and talk to syndicated columnist Ron Hart.

Clown college might be worth it after all.

We break the entire article down as it was quite a spectacle of a perspective.

Smith accepts an invite from Mayor Paul Young to come to Memphis, and we talk to syndicated columnist Ron Hart about Trump's decision regarding strikes on Iran.

The 'No Kings' nationwide protest is set to occur this Saturday, but in usual fashion, the protestors will be chanting a message that holds no weight. If Trump is the king, than he must be the weakest of all time. We break down the alleged payments for people to turn out, and the President's reaction. Also on the show, Sen. Alex Padilla makes the headlines by disrupting Kristi Noem's news conference, getting forcibly removed, and shedding tears in front of cameras a few minutes later.

"Professional to Personal." Elon Musk and President Trump are not in good terms anymore, as Elon is now suggesting that Trump is holding back the Epstein files because he's in it!
