It's Friday, September 26th. I'm Jane Koston, and this is what today.

The show that's a little worried that the Vice President of the United States is laser-focused on calling Pod Save America co-host and my colleague John Favreau a quote, dip shit. He is not a dipshit. Get a hobby.

On today's show, defense secretary Pete Higseff reportedly summons top military officers to Virginia for a surprise meeting next week.

And President Donald Trump reminisces on when he was in exile. But let's start with Congress and free speech.

We've been on quite the journey with our First Amendment guaranteed right to free speech,

haven't we? I mean, this week we had the reinstatement of ABC's Jimmy Kim alive after Kimmel was

suspended for making a comment regarding MAGA's reaction to the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

A suspension promoted by the chairman of the FCC threatening to take action against networks that chose to carry his show.

And President Trump is still threatening to sue ABC in response to Kimmel's return.

You know, the president of the United States sure does have a lot of time on his hands to threaten talk show hosts,

get his political opponents indicted by the state, and rant about escalators for some reason,

which is odd, given that we're staring down the barrel of a government shutdown.

If Congress can't find a path

to get the government funded in the next four days, lawmakers can't keep the lights on. So while the free

speech rights of everyone from a late-night talk show host to a Turkish PhD student who co-authored

an op-ed for their college newspaper get put in the metaphorical woodchipper, we're facing a

government shutdown, one that increasingly

Democrats aren't willing to fight to stop. So to talk more about the shutdown, our crisis of free

speech, lawfare, and whether he's worried he could become Trump's next target, I spoke to

Maryland Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin.

Representative Jamie Raskin, welcome to what today.

I'm delighted to be with you.
