Tennessee State Representative Justin Pearson makes the case for his run for Congress in Tennessee's 9th District, a seat gerrymandered to be Trump +21 that his campaign has pulled within four points. He says the race is now competitive because people across Tennessee are fed up with corruption, unaffordable housing and medical care, toxic data centers, and leaders who answer to billionaires instead of working people. He also describes how his national prominence grew after the Covenant School shooting in Nashville, when he and two other representatives were expelled from the statehouse for interrupting business as usual to demand gun safety action after being denied the chance to speak. Pearson was reinstated, won his primary with over 90% of the vote, and keeps pushing for common-sense gun laws and stronger protections for families and communities.

The Jim Acosta Show's Jim Acosta breaks down the unraveling of Trump and MAGA, predicting that future investigations will expose "an ocean of corruption" through hearings, testimony and scrutiny of the money flows tied to major scandals like crypto, stock trading and the Qatar jet. He also takes on Republican candidates and Trump-backed figures in key races, arguing that Trump's influence has damaged the party, driven poor recruitment and produced extreme campaign tactics like the "disgusting" ad attacking Amy Acton over childhood sexual abuse allegations. Acosta says Trump appears more unhinged and unwell than in the past, calls out his bizarre campaign comments and racist rhetoric, and points to a strange clip of him fake-waving to no one near the helicopter as another sign of decline.
