#NEWS: Jim Acosta Brings Bold Town Hall to DC’s Lincoln Theatre June 2

Big Conversations. Live Music. Surprise Guests. One Unforgettable Night.

“Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Brace yourself, Washington. On Monday, June 2, renowned journalist, anchor and former Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta takes over the iconic Lincoln Theatre for a fearless, full-throttle town hall event at the intersection of truth, resistance, and entertainment.

Doors open at 6:30 PM | Show starts at 7:30 PM

Joining Acosta on stage are Olivia Troye, former homeland security advisor turned national security truth-teller, and Michael Fanone, the heroic former D.C. police officer who stood on the front lines during the Capitol attack.

Together, they’ll deliver raw, unscripted commentary on the state of our democracy — while honoring the often-overlooked and recently fired federal workers who kept the nation running.

But this won’t be just another night of headlines.

Expect live musical performances, surprise celebrity appearances, and moments that are equal parts powerful and playful. Think of it as a town hall with a heartbeat — one that pulses with truth, courage, and community.

Tickets are going fast — reserve yours now at theLincolndc.com

Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear.

0:00.0	It's coming up fast, guys. Monday, June the 2nd, right here at the Lincoln Theater in Washington, D.C.
0:06.5	My live town hall with Mike Phenone, Olivia Troy, and some special guests you're not going to want to miss.
0:12.8	Get your tickets now. They're going fast.
0:15.7	All right. Welcome everybody to the Jim Acosta show.
0:18.6	It is six days and counting until our live town hall in Washington, D.C., with Michael Fanon and Olivia Troy, plus special guests. I'll have an announcement on that later on in the show, so stay tuned for that. Plus, I will tell you about how you can win tickets, free tickets to that show. So stay tuned for that. But in the meantime, let's get to the news. My first guest,
0:43.6	Ezra Levin is the head of Indivisible Grassroots Organization here in Washington. They are planning a no-king rally here in Washington and no king's rallies in other cities and towns across the U.S.
0:50.8	on June 14th. The same day Trump is planning a dictator-want-be militaristic birthday party
0:56.8	for himself down on the mall, I guess is where they're going to have it, right? Ezra, this is sort of like
1:02.6	what we saw play out the first time around in the first Trump administration. He's like a little
1:07.1	kid who just can't get the toy that he wants for Christmas and he's just going to keep complaining until mom breaks down and gives it to him. Look, he wanted it the first term. He couldn't
1:14.9	get it because it's an absurd waste of taxpayer dollars. We're talking 50 million or so taxpayer

1:25.7	roads? They tear them up.
1:27.9	It causes tons of damage.
1:29.9	And this guy on his 79th birthday wants to use the U.S. military in order to celebrate how
1:34.7	powerfully is.
1:35.4	It's ridiculous.
1:36.1	It's the kind of thing that you don't see in a constitutional republic.
1:38.9	You see it.
1:39.7	This is Kim Jong-un kind of style engagement with public propaganda.
1:45.6	And so what we're doing, we are focused everywhere but downtown D.C.
1:50.2	We do not want to give this guy an excuse to crack down on peaceful protests.
