Summary

We’re kicking off tonight’s livestream with some jaw-dropping news: the Trump administration has just barred Harvard from enrolling international students. Because nothing says “global leadership” like petty authoritarian revenge against higher education. We’ll break it all down with SiriusXM Host Reecie Colbert. Then we’re heading to the world of daytime TV, where new reporting reveals that the hosts of The View are allegedly being told to tone down their Trump criticism. You know, because what this administration really needed was editorial control over Whoopi Goldberg. So we have to ask: should the president have this much influence over academia and the media? (Spoiler: absolutely not.) Don’s got the facts, the fallout, and the snark. Let’s get into it. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
