Summary

Desi Lydic covers conservative media's support for Trump's Greenland invasion idea, Trump blaming Gavin Newsom for the LA wildfires, and Trump's plans for pardoning the Jan. 6 insurrectionists. Josh Johnson hits the street to hear from real New Yorkers about the controversial new congestion pricing toll. Founding president of the American Institute for Boys and Men and “Of Boys and Men” author, Richard Reeves, sits down with Desi to initiate a national conversation about the issues facing America’s young men. They discuss creating a space for dialogue about men’s issues without blaming women, how the phrase “toxic masculinity” pushes men from productive conversation, increasing the amount of men in teaching and mental healthcare, and how Trump acknowledged men’s issues but encouraged America to move backward.
