On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily Jashinsky answers a series of questions about her role in the media landscape. She explains why “After Party” has such a wide range of guests on, including people with opposing views to hers like Cenk Uygur and Krystal Ball. Emily explains how she views her job, why she doesn’t care about the impact her comments have on the right or left, why she’ll talk to anyone who has skepticism of elites and are willing to poke holes in the political establishment, and why she’s conflict adverse. She also answers questions about Europe’s assimilation problem, how we can learn from Europe’s mistakes and why America is so remarkable. Emily also talks about AI data centers and if Big Tech is good or bad. She explains why she gets so annoyed by powerful people who try to co-opt Christianity, why nobody is more obsessed with journalists than other journalists, why postmodern politics will always fail you, and how the ICE story could impact the midterm elections. Emily rounds out the show with some questions about her life in D.C., the most ‘redneck’ thing about her, and her favorite travel spot.

Emily Jashinsky opens the show with her takeaway from a new article in Compact, “The Truth Behind the Groyper Panic,” that explains why fears of widespread bigotry driven by figures like Nick Fuentes are overstated. Then Emily is joined by Cenk Uygur, Host, Founder, and CEO of “The Young Turks.” They discuss President Trump’s trip to Davos and his announcement that a framework has been reached on Greenland, the TACO theory surrounding Trump, and what it means for America’s economy. Then the conversation turns to questions about former President Obama potentially running for a third term, reports Gayle King could soon have her salary slashed at CBS, new vs old media, and what leaked text messages involving Taylor Swift and Blake Lively tell us about cancel culture. Emily wraps up the show with a look at a New York Times essay that argues Hollywood’s “woke era” hasn’t cleanly ended but has morphed into camp.

Emily Jashinsky opens the show with a big picture look at America’s immigration problem, how the larger media is missing key statistics, and the civil-liberty concerns with ICE. Then Emily is joined by Matthew Spalding, author of “The Making of the American Mind” and Dean of the Van Andel Graduate School of Government at Hillsdale College’s Washington, D.C. campus. The two discuss how today’s immigration and citizenship debates reflect a deeper crisis over what it means to be an American, and why some on the left view America as illegitimate. They also dive into Don Lemon and Jennifer Welch framing the church disruption in Minnesota as pushback against ‘white Christian entitlement.’ Next Shane Cashman, investigative journalist and host of “Inverted World Live” at Timcast, stops by the show for a deep dive on AI Data Centers. The two discuss how these centers have quickly become a political flashpoint with big tech and government selling them as job creators, but locals aren’t buying it. They also warn about the deeper issue of billionaires embracing AI-powered surveillance. Emily wraps up the show with a breakdown of Don Lemon’s livestream coverage of protesters disrupting a Minnesota church service, the backlash from Nicki Minaj, why Lemon could face legal problems, the broader media narrative portraying Christians as hypocrites, and more…
