Witch hunt after witch hunt, it was always ridiculous how many reasons Democrats would conjure to impeach President Trump. While being awarded the first ever FIFA Peace Prize (yes, it's a real thing), Trump made a comment that even Republicans can't defend.

The View has met their match. Stephen A. Smith is notorious for his strong opinions, and we should give credit where credit is due; he doesn't back down. Sunny Hostin called for Smith to apologize for bashing Sen. Mark Kelly for telling troops to disobey direct orders, and Smith wasn't having it. We react to the clips and break it all down. 

Also on the show, Yolanda Cooper-Sutton has caught a lot of heat for claiming the MFD ...

As a general rule: you should never disgrace the fire department, they are always the good guys. That goes DOUBLE if you are a local politician, but Councilwoman Yolanda Cooper-Sutton must have slept through that lesson. She said MFD is "raping" the city, and only "taking", and Jake unleashes.

From the R-word yesterday, to the B-word today. Gov. Tim Walz got the Trump insult missile and it switched to Rep. Ilhan Omar today when Trump called her and her friends "garbage" and "all they do is bitch". We break it all down. Speaking of missiles: Pete Hegseth comments on the drug boat strikes off Venezuela that some are calling war crimes.

Trump's insult hitlist has been aiming at Gov. Tim Walz as of late. He caught plenty of Trump's insult missiles during last year's campaign trials and now the news is going crazy over the President calling him a retard.

Trump's worst nightmare, NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, took a trip to the Oval Office to meet with the President for the first time since winning.

Memphis Area Transit Authority's Zero Fare Pilot Program was introduced by Mayor Paul Young and members of the City Council. Travelers can use any of MATA's services for free as part of the 90-day initiative. But the question is WHY? And the answers from our city leaders are expectedly lackluster.
