I'm Just Sayin - The Feds Attack a Whistleblower

Kira breaks down an op ed from New York Magazine asking the most pressing, stressful, concerning question of our time: What is Wrong With Republican Women? Surely the author makes a logical, coherent case for why republican women are the absolute worst…right? Kira digs in.

Kira analyzes and contrasts two very different college commencement speeches - Joe Biden’s speech at Morehouse and Harrison Butker’s address to Benedictine College. What makes a good commencement speech? What was the difference between the President’s address and Butker’s? And what about THE CONTROVERSY? Did Butker cross a line? Kira thinks through all of it this week. Links to speeches below.
