Summary

On today’s Sup podcast, Kaitlin and Sami start the show with a conversation about the upcoming tell-all book from Donald Trump’s niece. They share details that have emerged from advance copies, and discuss how the family tried to use an NDA to keep it from getting published. Plus, they talk about the author’s characterization of her uncle as someone who sees “cheating as a way of life.” Finally, they discuss the open letter denouncing cancel culture that was signed by some 150 writers, academics and activists - including authors JK Rowling, Salman Rushdie and Margaret Atwood. Is cancel culture a hindrance to free speech, or simply a byproduct of a more robust discourse? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
