This week Jennifer takes listeners from the ridiculous to the profound: Trump knowingly dancing to the “Gay National Anthem,” the Golden Cabinet’s latest moves, Spirit Airlines’ collapse, and Trump’s proposed Garden of American Heroes. Then it’s time for the Criminal Docket, including new analysis of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner attack and updates on major cases Jennifer has been tracking.
In the second hour, Jennifer turns serious with a hard look at Canada’s expanding medical-assistance-in-dying regime and why it reveals something deeply dangerous about a society that starts treating vulnerable people as problems to be solved. But the show doesn’t end in despair: Jennifer closes with a reminder that America is still a country built around life, courage, heroes, family, and the belief that every person has value.
Plus: Osama bin Laden’s death anniversary, what happened on this date in history, local look-ahead items, and a toast to the Golden Age.
