It's the Brian Lair Show on WNYC. I'm Bridget Bergen, senior reporter in the WNYC in Gothamist Newsroom, filling in for Brian today.

We'll get to the big Jimmy Kimmel News that rocked entertainment, media,

First, Ashley and others will discuss the latest news from the White House

as recent assaults on human knowledge and progress. Adam is also participating in a recently added

talk on this new era of political violence that's become front and center since the assassination
