On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the 2025 NFL Draft and the first round of the NBA playoffs. Bo starts off the show with a deep dive on Shedeur Sanders sliding to the 5th round and why the Cleveland Browns drafted him despite already taking Dillon Gabriel (3:14). Bo proceeds to say why mock drafts are for stupid people (9:35) and that we see plenty of college players fall every year in the NFL Draft (13:20). Bo pushes back at the idea that Shedeur's situation is similar to Colin Kaepernick's (14:29) and that ultimately Deion Sanders is at fault for overplaying their hand (27:32). Next, Bomani moves onto the NBA playoffs where he says why we knew this wasn't the Los Angeles Lakers year to win it all (36:11) and that he's ready for Anthony Edwards to continue to "slay the dragon." (39:07) And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving the 'worst job in America,' why robots can't make Nike's and Uber's shady practices (41:36). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the craziest thing you've heard playing pickup basketball (48:54).

According to a new CNN poll, President Donald Trump's approval rating stands at 41%. That's a steep drop from Trump's support just before the election, and the lowest for any US president at this point in his term going back to at least the 1950s. Will these negative ratings spell doom for the rest of the president's term? Or are they just one more ride on the Trump roller coaster? Susan Glasser, Staff Writer for The New Yorker, joins the program to discuss.  Also on today's show: Former US Mideast Envoy Dennis Ross; author Mary Ziegler ("Personhood"); filmmaker Perry Peltz and lawyer Matthew Bergman discuss the new documentary "Can't Look Away"  Learn more about your ad choices.

The recent publication of Melissa Moschella's Ethics, Politics, and Natural Law has renewed interest in the application of natural law to human flourishing. A topic that has undergone a resurgence among not only Catholics, but also Protestants with seminal publications from those like David VanDrunen, Micah Watson, and Andrew T. Walker. Seeing students engaging in this tradition has been rewarding and today I speak to one of those students, Josiah Wolfe, and his article in the Campbell Law Observer entitled, Natural Law and Its Discontents. We talk about the early stages of his interest in the topic, whether he's seeing the natural law in his assignment, how he approaches Aquinas and law, the relationship between legislation and divine ordinance, and much more. Josiah is a second-year law student at Campbell University School of Law and is a Staff Writer for the Campbell Law Observer. He grew up in North Carolina and graduated summa cum laude from Charter Oak College with a B.S. in Business Administration. He was also a CLS Fellow in 2024. Cross & Gavel is a production of CHRISTIAN LEGAL SOCIETY. The episode was produced by Josh Deng, with music from Vexento.

We specifically discuss the pardons and commutations enacted by Trump. They seem designed to send the signa that any business will not be discouraged, no matter how shady, no matter how dishonest. The government of Trump will not prosecute even egregious violation of laws. Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025WNHN.ORG production

Cantos 32-34 (4.15.25) with Evan Amato.Questions from our Reader's Guide:What is the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri?The Divine Comedy (or the Comedy as Dante called it) tells the story of Dante the Pilgrim's penitential journey through hell, purgatory, and heaven in three volumes or canticles: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. It is called a comedy in the classical sense of ending well, as opposed to tragedy which ends poorly. Dante the Poet masterfully weaves together Holy Scripture, Greco-Roman mythology, Aristotle, Roman history, St. Thomas Aquinas, and more to present the reader an excellent map of the human soul and its loves. “It is the Summa Theologiae in poetry,” says Dr. Prudlo, “and I think it's one of the greatest, greatest achievements, single achievements by a human being that's ever been attained.”What is the Inferno?The Inferno tells of Dante's pilgrimage through hell alongside his pagan guide, the Roman poet Virgil. The Inferno is less an eschatological treatise attempting to explain the actual geography of hell and more a moral tale on the reality of human desire and the soul. It not a mystical vision akin to St. John's Revelation or the ecstasies of St. Teresa of Avila. As such, Dante the Poet will place mythological characters in hell, like the three-headed dog Cerberus or the Roman god of the underworld, Pluto. The purpose is not literal but pedagogical. In a similar fashion, the placement of a soul in hell, like a Pope Nicholas III or Helen of Troy, is not a eschatological claim of who is actually in hell but a moral one. Everything in the Inferno is intended to instruct us in virtue and the proper rectitude of the soul.Why should we read Dante's Inferno?The Inferno is an invitation to examine your soul. Dante the Poet is a master of the soul and its loves. He tears away the acceptable veneer on human desire and exposes the ugly reality of sin and its transformative effect upon the human soul into something imploded and bestial. And Dante the Poet invites the reader to contemplate his or her soul and its loves within an ordered whole. As stated, the Divine Comedy is St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae is poetic form, and Dante the Poet weaves together Holy Scripture, Aristotle, mythology, astronomy, and more into one intelligible cosmos. Reality is intelligible and holds lessons for our sanctification and salvation. We are invited to become...

On this episode, the Bishop of Leicester, the Rt Revd Martyn Snow, is interviewed about his new booklet, Can We Imagine a Future Together? Intercultural lessons for living in love and faith, in which he attempts to chart a way forward for the Living in Love and Faith (LLF) process. Bishop Snow is the lead bishop on LLF. “The Church of England is in a season of discernment as it seeks a way to honour and accommodate differing theological and pastoral responses to Living in Love and Faith and to find a way to remain united despite sometimes profound disagreement,” the booklet's description says. “Martyn Snow offers further practical resources for this season of listening, prayer, patience and kindness. “Drawing on his experiences of working in the UK's most culturally diverse diocese to explore how best to live together well across difference, such that all church members — especially those who have been historically marginalised — flourish, he finds helpful models in the in the field of interculturalism and in the concept of gift exchange. These models are expressed in generous giving, radical receptivity and transformative thanksgiving — all of which can contribute positively to today's pressing questions.” Can We Imagine a Future Together? is published by Church House Publishing and is available to buy at https://www.chpublishing.co.uk/books/9781781405130/can-we-imagine-a-future-together.

Staff Writer with The Atlantic McKay Coppins published his in-depth piece which saw him spend time with James Murdoch and his wife Kathryn as the couple revealed their regrets and just how estranged the relationship is with his father and brother…He joins Seán to discuss.

Elon Musk says the agency, which is crucial to the survival of millions of people around the world, is being fed "into the woodchipper." This action would transform the US and its traditional role on the global stage.

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis trade that rocked the NBA world. (1:00) Bo starts the show by trying to compute this massive trade and ask why the Dallas Mavericks would trade a 25 year old superstar, that basketball fans actually pay to see play? (7:47) Bo also makes sure to point out that Anthony Davis is still a great player and should be given some credit instead of being crushed online. (20:56) Bo then looks at the Los Angeles Lakers perspective, where LeBron James now is no longer the centerpiece of the team, and why Rob Pelinka had to hide this trade from Rich Paul. (29:02) And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving litigation against sports gambling, DeepSeek, and Bryan Johnson's weird medical test with his son. (38:31) Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the craziest thing you've heard a coach say in the locker room.

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones recaps Conference Championship Sunday where we saw the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs advance to Super Bowl LIX. Bo starts the show giving praise to Patrick Mahomes for reaching yet another Super Bowl and continuing his comparison to Michael Jordan. (0:35) Bo continues with the Chiefs talk asking why fans hate them similarly to how everyone hated the New England Patriots during their dynasty. (11:01) Then, he moves onto the Buffalo Bills and if their Super Bowl window has closed after their 4th playoff loss to the Chiefs in the Josh Allen era. (20:33) Bo rounds out the Conference Championship conversation by saying how dominant the Philadelphia Eagles looked and why Jalen Hurts isn't a negative but he's also limited in the pass game. (28:55) And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving cattle gallstones, new ownership of TikTok and the National Diaper Bank Network. Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the dumbest things you've seen happen at work.

In the 2024 election, the Democrats did not have messaging that resonated with men, some say and is part of the reason Kamala Harris lost. Could leaning into identity politics to engage men work for future elections? Those arguing “yes” say focusing on men-related issues could help the Dems reconnect with a demographic that feels left behind. Those arguing “no” say focusing on gender and identity politics divide voters rather than unite them. Now we debate: Could Identity Politics Help Democrats Engage Men?  Arguing Yes: Jackson Katz, Educator, Author, and Co-Founder of the Young Men's Research Institute  Arguing No: Thomas Chatterton Williams, Staff Writer at The Atlantic; Visiting Professor of Humanities at Bard College; Nonresident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute    Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Learn more about your ad choices.

Alternative response teams are being asked to tackle vexing problems: mental illness, homelessness, addiction. How much can they actually do? We explore how Durham grapples with connecting people to long-term care and support, and where the city draws the line between crisis response and social services.Guests:Ryan Smith, Director, Durham Community Safety DepartmentSammetta Cutler, Peer Support Specialist, Durham Community Safety DepartmentSarah Hall, Durham residentDavid Prater, Peer Support Specialist, Durham Community Safety DepartmentJohn Warasila, Real estate developer and architect, Alliance ArchitectureBo Ferguson, Deputy City Manager, DurhamPatrice Andrews, Police Chief, Durham Police DepartmentChristie Thompson, Staff Writer, The Marshall ProjectAllison Casey, EMT, Durham Community Safety DepartmentEMS, Fire, Police and the 911 Call Center make up the existing four branches of the public safety system. A special series from Tradeoffs and The Marshall Project explores how a city radically changes its response to people in crisis, by creating a fifth branch. Nearly half of the country's 50 largest cities - including San Francisco, New York, Houston, Chicago - have launched programs to send unarmed responders to 911 calls historically handled by cops. In the process creating a new generation of first responders made up of clinicians, EMTs and unarmed mental health workers all responding to people who struggle with addiction, homelessness and mental illness. To understand this work we head to Durham, North Carolina, which has - in the face of skepticism and downright opposition - built one of the most comprehensive programs in the country.How did Durham pull off what so many cities have struggled to do?

On today's episode, Bomani Jones breaks down Week 14 in the NFL by looking at the teams with the salty wide receivers. He starts in New York where the Giants and the Jets both continue to lose games this season. We hear from Garrett Wilson who says the team currently has losing in their DNA, and Malik Nabers who expertly answers a question about the Giants being a dumpster fire. (1:08) After hearing from AJ Brown who is somehow salty even after the Eagles won this Sunday, we transition to the Bills, who despite their loss to the Rams, saw an iconic 6 touchdown performance from MVP frontrunner Josh Allen. (14:17) Then Bomani gets to the announcement of this years College Football Playoffs, which according to Bo, is a broken system that is designed to never properly determine the best team in college football. He explains yet again that this is just a product to enhance a TV show and that the sport will never get better from this bracket. (20:02) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and your voicemails on the whackest Christmas presents you've ever received. (38:27) IYHH Contributors: Aki Ito, Chief Correspondent at Insider: “The Great Flattening is here to stay” https://bit.ly/4gnZVRk  Joshua Rothman, Editor at The New Yorker: “Are Grownups Just Giant Kids?” https://bit.ly/3Bm3g4q  Helen Lewis, Staff Writer at The Atlantic “The ‘Mainstream Media' Has Already Lost” https://bit.ly/3VvJDhr  . . .

In today's episode, Bomani Jones recaps everything that went down this weekend in College Football and the NFL. He starts the show by sharing his frustration with the current Thanksgiving week schedule in the NFL. Having the Thursday games, along with the Friday game, completely devalues the Sunday slate. (0:50) That leads Bo to breakdown the one good game on Sunday; Bengals vs Steelers, where we have two teams going in completely different directions this season. (4:30) Then Bomani discusses the Bills and the Ravens which includes a conversation about the MVP Award. The Bills beat up the 49ers with Josh Allen winning the game for his team, while the Ravens lost to the Eagles and Lamar Jackson was not at his best. Lamar wasn't the reason his team won or lost but at some point this season you have to be the reason either way. (6:08) From there, Bomani finally transitions to this wild weekend in College Football that involved way too many flags being planted. His take stands firm on the idea of outlawing Flag Planting because it leads to fighting. And if fighting is allowed, then flag planting is cool but this weekend showed that whenever an opposing team plants a flag, it automatically leads to a fight. It's the height of disrespect, and disrespect will not be tolerated. (17:33) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and Bomani answers three voicemail questions about anything.

Bomani Jones kicks off today's episode by reveling in the Detroit Lions victory of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 52-6 beat down helped prove that Bomani's Lions are the best team in the NFL and Bo asks the question why Doug Pederson still has his job following that loss? (0:50) From there, Bomani highlights the Bills defeating the Chiefs from two perspectives. The first being, the Chiefs finally met their match after barely squeaking by with victories over the last few weeks, which reminded Bomani of Tim Tebow. Secondly, the Bills win will create the narrative of Josh Allen for MVP even though he hasn't been as good as Lamar Jackson. (3:40) Then Bomani transitions to the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight earlier this weekend which ultimately ended up as a disappointing event all together. Bomani explains why you automatically lost by even deciding to watch the event, why the fight was so mediocre, and what this says about the sport of boxing. (16:04) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and your Voicemails on the dumbest person you've worked on a group project together with.

Bomani Jones kicks off today's show by discussing the slippery slope that is losing. (1:00) He begins the discussion on losers by talking about the Dallas Cowboys who continue to look really bad. With Dak Prescott out for the year, the Cowboys future is bleak behind Cooper Rush and Trey Lance. Plus Jerry Jones is crashing out after his stadium caused CeeDee Lamb to drop a touchdown catch. Are the Cowboys too far gone to try and salvage this season? (3:15) Then Bomani briefly brings up the New York Jets who are also down bad and unsalvageable, before finally talking abut the Winners for this week. (13:45) Are the Chiefs the least impressive 9-0 team of all time? (15:55) And does this week confirm that the Detroit Lions are the best team in the NFL following their comeback win over the Houston Texans? (19:15) From there, Bomani speaks on the recent news in the NBA and why he wishes there was more physicality. After the scuffle between Jaylen Brown and Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bomani wishes there was more of a fight following that incident. And with Chet Holmgren's injury, Bomani sends flowers to one of his favorite players who embodies the dog mentality. (23:07) Finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and Bomani answers your Voicemail questions. (36:24) If You Haven't Heard Contributors: Peter Kafka, Chief Correspondent at Insider: “Meta's Threads has 275 million users.

It was a crazy, and at times hilarious week in the NFL, but before Bomani Jones recaps Week 8 he begins today's episode by discussing Dwyane Wade's sculpture. Why does it look so bad and why have modern day sculpture artists gotten worse? (0:53) From there Bomani first talks about Jameis Winston and the Browns who had a big upset win over the Baltimore Ravens. Bomani says that watching Jameis is like watching Uncut Gems, while listening to him talk sounds like you're at a church. (4:15) Then Bomani covers Anthony Richardson's statements of being tired, and the insane Bears hail mary, more specially the Bears corner who let the catch happen because he was taunting the fans. (9:30) After briefly talking about Trevon Diggs' comments to a reporter, Bomani transitions to Nick Bosa who made headlines for wearing a MAGA hat after the conclusion of last nights game. Bomani listens to Bosa's postgame statements or lack thereof, and asks the question to Bosa, why is this important?

Bomani Jones starts today's show by recapping the Cowboys vs Lions matchup. (0:50) He reiterates his Day 1 fandom of the Detroit Lions, while reveling in the blow out win over the Dallas Cowboys. Bomani explains that he had Super Bowl aspirations for this team right until the Aidan Hutchinson injury, which has certainly hurt the teams morale. Speaking of morale, the Cowboys look terrible following that loss and Bo discusses why they showed zero fight in that game. (9:30) From there, Bomani transitions to Nick Sirianni and the Eagles, who despite the win over the Browns, have a coach who should be fired. Bo stresses his disdain for bringing your kids up to the podium during a press conference especially when they're being used as human shields. (16:40) Then Bomani briefly talks about Lincoln Riley who has lead the USC Trojans to three straight losses. And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and your Al Bundy voicemail stories.
