The Minaj Moment, Vance vs Crockett, Creepy New Epstein Photos, and Charles Murray's Faith Journey

Emily Jashinsky opens the show with an explainer of stories in the news that she believes Democrats need to be wary of heading into the 2026 midterms. She shows the powerful moment when Nicki Minaj has an awkward flub with Erika Kirk and Kirk’s graceful reaction, Minaj’s powerful message to girls everywhere that got Vice President JD Vance’s attention, plus JD Vance and Jasmine Crockett’s war of words, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries lashing out on the Somali story, and Hunter Biden talking immigration. Emily then has fun playing the outgoing D.C. police chief’s meltdown. Next Emily is joined by renowned political scientist and New York Times bestselling author, Charles Murray to discuss his new book, “Taking Religion Seriously.” They discuss his gradual, intellectually driven journey from secularism to belief in God and Christianity, how science impacted his experience, and his message to skeptical intellectuals. Emily wraps up the show with a look at Dave Chappelle’s criticism of Israel and how he slammed Bill Maher in a new Netflix special, the stomach-churning new Epstein files, why Elise Stefanik really exited the New York Governor’s race, and more.
