Show Notes
Trump spent years calling President Biden "Sleepy Joe." Now the cameras keep catching him with his own eyes closed. He nodded off again during an Oval Office event, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, before facing questions over claims he made from the Resolute Desk. Don breaks down the footage, Trump's disputed claims, and the remarkable moment Marco Rubio insisted he had never seen the president fall asleep, only for Congressman Ted Lieu to confront him with video of Trump appearing to doze while Rubio himself was speaking. Don is joined by psychotherapist Elliott Connie to discuss sleep, exhaustion and what we can and cannot, responsibly conclude from watching someone appear drowsy on camera. PLUS: Lindsay Clancy returns to court for the first time since her murder trial ended in a mistrial. Prosecutors are weighing whether to retry the Massachusetts mother in the deaths of her three children, while Clancy's defense is fighting to prevent a second trial. The first jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on whether Clancy should be convicted or found not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. Don breaks down what happens next in one of the country's most closely watched criminal cases.

Minnesota State Senator and Assistant Majority Leader Mary Kunesh joins Don for a blunt conversation about Trump's attacks on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and the federal investigation Omar says is political retaliation. After playing Trump's remarks, Don asks Kunesh what it means to hear a president talk about potentially jailing or deporting her friend and fellow Minnesota elected official. They examine the search of Omar's Washington home, the seizure of personal belongings, and the questions surrounding the investigation's timing and justification. What separates a legitimate investigation from an effort to punish a political opponent? How is Omar responding to the pressure? And who ensures that presidential hostility does not override someone's constitutional rights? Omar denies wrongdoing. This conversation examines the allegations, the political stakes, and why due process must apply regardless of whether you support her politics.
