Season 31 Episode 31: March 5, 2026 - Mychal Threets

Michael Kosta breaks down the latest chaos in Trump’s cabinet as DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is fired amid ICE turmoil, corruption claims, and swirling affair rumors. RFK Jr. somehow picks fights with both Dunkin’ and Starbucks, while Pete Hegseth finds time—despite a war in Iran—to push his personal mission of stripping Scouting America of its supposed wokeness. Jordan Klepper even flatters Hegseth in hopes of earning the ironic “Bros Before Hoes” badge. Meanwhile, Grace Kuhlenschmidt explores America’s first car free neighborhood with controversial “freedom fighter” Katie Hopkins to uncover the truth behind rising 15 minute cities: visionary walkable havens or government run traps? And librarian and new “Reading Rainbow” host Mychal Threets joins Michael to share his mental health journey, the life saving role libraries played for him, and the message behind his book, I'm So Happy You’re Here—a celebration of library joy and a reminder that no one is alone.
