Summary

Tonight, Don sits down with Hollywood Unlocked’s Jason Lee to break down the increasingly bizarre alliance between Donald Trump and Nicki Minaj. What’s going on here and what does it mean politically? Then we pivot to serious national crises. Don is joined by friend of the show Monique Pressley to unpack the escalating ICE crisis that’s ignited protests and outrage, and the FBI’s search of a Fulton County election office in Georgia connected to the Trump-era push to revisit the 2020 election, a move critics say is part of a broader attack on democracy. Join us live as we break down the absurd and the alarming all in one night. 🍋 This episode is brought to you by Shopify.
