It's been one year since the Memphis Safe Task Force, and Trump says crime's goin' down! 

And speaking of law enforcement, to whom it may concern, the B in FBI does not, in fact, stand for "Bestiality."

Why's Sydney Sweeney causing such scandal in the sports world when she herself is no athlete?!

"None of these people I trust to do anything with AI," says Jake. Learn who he means and why.

25 years ago, the world changed forever, leaving a generation bound by the shared promise to "Never Forget." We honor that vow by sharing personal stories from the day that defined an era. But as a quarter-century passes, a new generation has grown up in a different world—one where the true weight of 9/11 is fading into history, misunderstood, or even downplayed.

Also on the show: "Non-practicing white", what does that mean? After the lone juror from the LC trial was revealed is black, we break it all down. We also listen to a bold woman standing up to pro-Lindsey Clancy supporters at a Oprah panel, and WVNN host Dale Jackson joined the show to talk about his 9/11 story.

In an unexpected campaign move, President Trump promised to give every American adult a $5,000 "Trump dividend" check if Republicans keep control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections. Critics from both political parties are furious, calling the trillion-dollar proposal an illegal vote-buying scheme and a giant bribe. Would you vote for the GOP for $5000?

Also on the show: Trump said James Talerico eats meat now instead of beating meat (insane soundbite), John Fetterman (D) could be changing to an (R) after straight up attending and speaking at a Trump rally, and syndicated columnist Ron Hart joined the show to answer the Q: is the $5000 REALLY a BRIBE?

The Art of the BRIBE?

The female jurors for Lindsey Clancy criticized the lone male holdout for being "incredibly arrogant", claiming he ignored the legal definitions of insanity and postpartum psychosis to focus entirely on his "own emotions". They claimed that he repeatedly changed his reasoning during deliberations, admitted to having reasonable doubt, and yet still refused to vote for an acquittal.

Also on the show: There WAS a backup at the Shelby Co. Clerk's office, the new iPhone 18 that can now fold like a flip-phone, the greatest gameshows of the golden days, NFL is back on a WEDNESDAY, and today's Wheel of Weird story on Wednesday: Rear Naked Chimp.
