About this episode

Kim discusses a proposal to rename the U.S. language to 'American' and explores related themes of patriotism and national identity.

Hour 1 shifts to Kim on a Whim as Kim explores a proposal from writer Rob Lockwood calling for the United States to officially rename its language from English to “American” ahead of the nation’s 250th birthday, sparking a lively debate about patriotism, national identity, and whether Donald Trump could enact the change by executive order or Congress would need to codify it. Dan Buck expands the conversation into plans for a neighborhood American flag campaign in St. Charles to celebrate the anniversary, while criticizing displays of anti-American symbolism and damaged flags left flying. The segment then turns into a broader discussion about political intolerance, neighborhood tensions, and what the hosts describe as hypocrisy surrounding free speech, patriotism, and reactions to conservative viewpoints.
