The Arrington Gavin Show

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is back in the headlines — and this time, the controversy involves politics, party unity and Chris Brown.

Crockett is facing criticism after appearing at Chris Brown and Usher’s concert in Arlington, Texas, where Brown received recognition entered into the Congressional Record. The decision has drawn backlash because of Brown’s past legal history, including his 2009 felony assault case involving Rihanna.

But there’s another layer to this story.

After losing the Democratic U.S. Senate primary to James Talarico, Crockett endorsed him, but when recently asked whether she would campaign with her former rival, she said her focus would be on helping down-ballot candidates across Texas. Crockett argues that building enthusiasm around multiple races can ultimately strengthen the entire Democratic ticket.

So tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show, we’re asking: Is the criticism of Crockett fair? Does appearing at a Chris Brown concert undermine her argument about where she wants to spend her political time? Should she be expected to actively campaign alongside Talarico after a contentious primary? And was honoring Chris Brown appropriate in the first place?

We’ll break down the controversy, the criticism and the bigger debate over party unity, accountability and political priorities.

On this episode of The Arrington Gavin Show, we sit down with Gayle Gilmore, Independent candidate for Chesapeake City Council, to discuss why she’s running, what she believes Chesapeake needs next, and why voters should consider adding her name to their top five choices this election.

We talk about some of the biggest issues facing the city, including growth and development, infrastructure, affordable housing, education, public safety, taxes, healthcare access, and Chesapeake’s current at-large voting system.

We also press Gilmore on what being an Independent truly means, how she would balance new spending with fiscal responsibility, and what would make her leadership different from the current direction of City Hall.

With five City Council seats on the ballot, Chesapeake voters have an important decision ahead.

Can an independent voice shake up Chesapeake City Hall?

Watch Ep. 674 of The Arrington Gavin Show and hear Gayle Gilmore make her case directly to the voters.

A disagreement over who should speak first has sparked a very public clash between two of Miami-Dade County’s most powerful elected officials.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz found themselves at odds following an emergency response, raising a bigger question: When a crisis happens, who should take the lead—the mayor or the sheriff?

Tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show, we break down the dispute and discuss whether this was simply a disagreement over protocol—or whether it reveals a deeper power struggle between two elected leaders.

🗣️ LET’S TALK ABOUT IT:

Was the sheriff right to insist on speaking first? Should the mayor have taken the lead? And when public safety is involved, should political titles take a back seat to the official directly overseeing the response?

President Donald Trump is floating the idea of $5,000 “election dividend” checks for Americans if Republicans maintain control of Congress—but economists are warning that putting that much money into the economy could come with a price: higher inflation.

On Episode 672 of The Arrington Gavin Show, we break down the proposal and ask the questions voters should be asking.

Would $5,000 provide much-needed relief to working Americans struggling with the cost of living? Could these checks drive prices even higher? Where would the money come from? And with the midterm elections approaching, is this smart economic policy—or smart politics?

And perhaps the biggest question: If Uncle Sam offered YOU $5,000… would you take the check?

The Republican Party is trying something new. For the first time, the GOP is holding a national midterm convention, bringing President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Republican candidates and party leaders together in Dallas as Republicans work to energize voters ahead of the November 2026 elections. The convention has no presidential nomination or traditional convention business; its focus is messaging, showcasing candidates and boosting turnout.

On Episode 671 of The Arrington Gavin Show, Arrington breaks down the strategy behind what some Republicans have dubbed “Trump-a-palooza.” Trump has placed himself at the center of the GOP's midterm campaign, even urging supporters to approach November as though he were personally on the ballot.

But will Trump's involvement motivate MAGA voters who might otherwise stay home during a midterm election? Or could tying congressional Republicans so closely to the president create challenges with independents and swing voters?

We'll discuss what Republicans hope to accomplish in Dallas, Trump's influence over the modern GOP, the stakes for control of Congress, and what this unprecedented convention tells us about the Republican strategy for 2026.

Bernie Mac is widely regarded as one of the most memorable and influential comedians of his generation—but comedian Aries Spears isn’t quite sold on the hype.

In this episode of The Arrington Gavin Show, Arrington dives into Spears’ eyebrow-raising comments about Bernie Mac and the debate they’ve sparked among comedy fans. Is Aries simply expressing an unpopular opinion about another comedian’s style, or is he overlooking what made Bernie Mac such a legendary figure in stand-up comedy?

We’ll discuss Bernie Mac’s legacy, his impact on comedy, the legendary “Original Kings of Comedy,” and a bigger question: Does respecting someone’s legacy mean their work has to appeal to everyone?

🔥 Tonight’s conversation: Is Bernie Mac unquestionably one of the GOATs—or does Aries Spears have a fair point that comedy is ultimately subjective?

💬 Join the conversation and tell us: What made Bernie Mac special to you? And where does he rank among the greatest comedians of all time?

Just when it looked like Stephen A. Smith, Cari Champion, and Jemele Hill might finally be clearing the air…the drama isn’t over.

Following Stephen A.’s lengthy conversation with his former ESPN colleagues, he’s speaking out about how the interview was handled — including concerns about edits, the YouTube comments being turned off, and his desire to have the full conversation released.

So what happened?

🎙️ Did Stephen A. have a legitimate reason to call out Cari Champion and Jemele Hill?

🎙️ Were expectations about the interview clear from the beginning?

🎙️ Did Cari and Jemele handle the situation fairly?

🎙️ And after sitting down together for hours, did these “peace talks” actually make the relationship worse?

On Episode 669 of The Arrington Gavin Show, we break down the controversy, hear both sides, and ask whether this is simply a misunderstanding between former colleagues — or another chapter in a feud that isn’t going away anytime soon.

💬 WHO DO YOU THINK HAS THE STRONGER ARGUMENT — STEPHEN A., CARI & JEMELE, OR IS EVERYONE MAKING THIS BIGGER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE?

What happens when a veteran television writer who once helped imagine a future Donald Trump presidency decides that instead of just writing about politics, he wants to jump into the arena himself?

On this episode of The Arrington Gavin Show, Arrington sits down with 2028 Republican presidential candidate Dan Greaney, an accomplished television writer best known for his work on The Simpsons.

Greaney is running as a Republican — but his political philosophy doesn't necessarily fit neatly into today's traditional party boxes. He describes himself as a progressive Republican and is making the case for a different direction for the GOP and the country.

From the perspective of a registered Independent, Arrington puts Greaney's candidacy and platform to the test. They discuss the future of the Republican Party, Donald Trump's influence on American politics, the economy and affordability, health care, immigration, money in politics, Supreme Court reform, climate and energy policy, America's political divisions, and whether Greaney's unconventional message can actually connect with Republican primary voters.

Plus, we have some fun talking about The Simpsons, Greaney's career in television, presidential predictions and what happens when a comedy writer decides he wants the keys to the White House!

Can a self-described progressive Republican win in today's GOP? Is Dan Greaney a serious contender, a political long shot, or the beginning of a different conversation about what the Republican Party could become?

Imagine making it to the NFL… and then getting another opportunity to return to college football. That debate is no longer hypothetical.

A judge has granted a preliminary injunction allowing former professional players seeking to play for LSU to move forward with their effort to return to the college game, raising some major questions about eligibility, competitive fairness, and just how much college football has changed.

On this episode of The Arrington Gavin Show, Arrington breaks down the controversy and asks: Should a player who has already competed professionally be allowed to return to college football? Is this simply athletes exercising their rights under a changing system—or could it create an unfair advantage and completely blur the line between amateur and professional sports?

Plus, what could this ruling mean for the SEC, NCAA and the future of college athletics?

🏈 FROM THE NFL BACK TO COLLEGE — SHOULD THIS EVEN BE ALLOWED?

💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: Would you allow former NFL players to return to college football? YES or NO?
