Summary
CNN host Kasie Hunt abruptly terminated a live interview with Donald Trump’s spokesperson Karoline Leavitt on Monday after Leavitt began to criticize the two journalists whom the network chose to moderate the much anticipated upcoming debate between the former president and Joe Biden. Hunt had brought up the topic of Trump and his surrogates criticizing moderators but then refused to let Leavitt address the question.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why they think this was a setup and whether it’s a good debating tactic for Trump to target the moderators.
Plus segments on Justice Alito lighting into his fellow Justices for punting on a key censorship case and recalling how commentators Cenk Uygur, Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti smeared and laughed at Julian Assange while the U.S. government was pursuing criminal charges against the Wikileaks founder.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Joe Biden and Barack Obama!

| 0:48.9 | Oh, I don't really see that happening, honest. |
| 0:53.8 | I see. Yeah, CNN has been really great. It almost feels like they're favoring our side. Oh, really? I know that sounds like crazy talk. A booie. They lay down some really good rules this time. Rules? Rule number one, no audience. |
| 1:15.4 | The last thing in equal and fair debate proceeding would possibly need is Donald Trump getting more claps than me. |
| 1:17.3 | Yes, that would be very unfair. |
