The Gist - Christian Duguay Brings the Valley Heat

Christian Duguay, creator of Valley Heat, breaks down how Doug Duguay, his in-show alter ego, works within a 51% fictional universe. Tight sound design and ad-jingle microplots create an absurd world populated with Canadian foosball biker gangs and rogue car washes. Duguay traces the show’s improv roots and why “I’ll take that” became its guiding ethos. Plus: RFK Jr. claims that CDC director Susan Monarez once admitted, “I am untrustworthy.” And in the spiel, Charlie Kirk’s killer has his first court appearance, as the administration all but declares war on leftists.

PBS News Hour - World - Trump greeted with royal reception to begin his second state visit

President Trump enjoyed a warm welcome to Britain's Windsor Castle, where his royal hosts put on a display of pageantry, pomp and military parades.

Lost Debate - A War on the First Amendment

Ravi dissects the assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it reveals about America’s escalating era of political violence. He examines the FBI’s failures, the right’s contradictions on free speech, and the Trump administration’s use of state power against ideological opponents. The episode also looks at media consolidation, TikTok’s looming takeover, foreign AI entanglements, and the widening economic divide in the U.S. Ravi closes by connecting these crises to global flashpoints—from Navalny’s poisoning to U.S. immigration raids—warning that the erosion of democratic norms may be as dangerous as any single act of violence.
