Trump Booed Loudly at NBA Finals at MSG. US Apache Shot Down By Iran. ME, NV, SC, ND Primaries.
About this episode
Paul Rieckhoff discusses Trump's reception at the NBA Finals, a US Apache shot down by Iran, and the impact of primaries on independent voters.
Trump showed up at Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden and got booed loud enough that he had to lie about it on the tarmac. Hours later, news broke that an Iranian drone shot down a US Army Apache gunship off the coast of Oman — the pilots rescued, in a first-of-its-kind operation, by an American sea drone. And while the MAGA machine drags the NBA, the UFC, and America 250 into its political circus, four states are running primaries today that disenfranchise nearly a million independent voters, including roughly 450,000 independent veterans in Nevada alone. Paul Rieckhoff is solo on the mic for episode 545, delivering the kind of no-BS morning briefing the cable nets won't.
