    Donald Trump Does Not Care About Americans!

    2026/05/13 | 1h 6 mins.
    Tonight, we break down the growing economic pain being felt across the country and the policies that are making it worse.
    Gas prices are soaring, recession fears are rising, and millions of Americans are struggling just to afford the basics. Yet Donald Trump told reporters he doesn’t spend much time thinking about the financial situation of everyday Americans. Yeah…that’s pretty obvious.
    Tonight, we’ll share exclusive footage of lawmakers reacting to those comments and discussing the growing frustration boiling across the country.
    But the criticism goes beyond rhetoric. Trump is now reportedly pushing the DOJ toward a settlement tied to his IRS lawsuit, raising new questions about whether taxpayers could ultimately be left footing the bill. And then there’s the White House ballroom project, which was initially pitched as something that wouldn’t cost Americans anything, but now appears likely to come with a public price tag after all.
    At a moment when people are struggling to pay rent, buy groceries, and fill up their gas tanks, many Americans are asking the same question: whose interests are actually being prioritized right now?

    Barack Obama is Living Rent Free in Donald Trump's Head!

    2026/05/13 | 26 mins.
    Don sits down with friend of the show Mike Nellis to talk about one thing Donald Trump just cannot seem to quit: Barack Obama.
    Obama appeared in Texas alongside James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa who are running for Senator and Governor of the state. Can Obama’s popularity and political influence actually help Democrats break through in Texas?
    At the same time, Trump continues firing off late-night Truth Social posts about Obama, keeping a years-long fixation alive long after Obama left office.
    Why is Trump still so focused on him? Is it politics, insecurity, strategy… or all of the above?

    Could Athlete Activism Fight MAGA Redistricting?

    2026/05/12 | 1h 5 mins.
    Tonight, we break down the state of the American economy, and for a lot of people, things are feeling bleak.
    Inflation remains high, recession fears are growing, and millions of Americans are struggling just to keep up with the cost of basic necessities. Add in rising gas prices fueled by ongoing tensions and conflict abroad, and the pressure on everyday people keeps building. So how much worse could this get, and who’s actually paying the price?
    Then we pivot to the growing movement around sports and political protest. Calls are intensifying for athletes to boycott SEC events in states pushing racist redistricting plans that weaken Black political representation. Can sports create real political pressure? And could athlete activism actually move the needle?
    Tonight, Don is joined by activist and Tennessee State Representative Justin J. Pearson and sports journalist Jemele Hill to break it all down.

    The Redistricting Fight Could Change Everything!

    2026/05/12 | 1h 11 mins.
    This morning, we break down the growing fallout from the latest redistricting battles and the mounting concerns about efforts aimed at weakening Black political representation across the country.
    From Tennessee to other states now pursuing similar strategies, the fight over congressional maps is becoming one of the biggest political stories heading into the midterms. Civil rights advocates warn these moves could dramatically reshape representation and voting power for years to come.
    So what exactly is happening, why are these battles escalating now, and what could it mean for the future of the midterms, and American democracy itself?We are joined by Texas State Representative Jolanda Jones, Anti-racism educator and author Tim Wise, and Politico senior political columnist Jonathan Martin.
