Newell explains how congressmen work for themselves and to protect their political futures, not for us.

A leaked report aired on CNN claims the US strike on Iran only set back their nuclear program back a couple of months, and the White House doubled down on efforts to fight what they're calling fake news. Plus, the GOP debates pulling its own "nuclear option" to gain enough support for the big, beautiful budget bill.

On today's show, Newell talks about the Supreme Court rulings on birthright citizenship and Maryland parents' right to opt their children out of LGBTQ+ curriculum and the "Big Beautiful Bill's" proposed overhaul of the student loan system.

Then, Newell has on

Dr. Skip Gallagher, UNO Professor & NOPD Watchdog, to talk about the firing of NOPD Sergeant Michael Stalbert and the injustice left in his wake,

Dr. Will Wainwright, President of Southeastern Louisiana University, to discuss his university's impact on St. Tammany Parish,

Krystal James, Program Manager at Common Ground USA, to talk about their work with the Plessy & Ferguson Initiative, which focuses on how the unfinished business of Reconstruction still shapes our city today,

Will Guillory, NBA writer for "The Athletic," to size up the Pelicans' 2025 NBA draft picks,

and JP Morrell, New Orleans City Councilmember, to discuss New Orleans Civil Court Judge Jennifer Medley's ruling that the City Council cannot limit Mayor LaToya Cantrell's travel at taxpayers expense.
