On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily Jashinsky revisits the Lindsay Clancy case and considers whether the intense response from affluent white women reflects a broader cry for help from people struggling with the consequences of materialism and modern culture. She discusses tax reform and stay-at-home moms before diving into immigration, the importance of prioritizing American citizens, and why she disagrees with Greg Bovino’s approach while still supporting policies that eliminate incentives for people to remain in the country illegally. Emily weighs in on dual citizenship, questions whether the recent push for AI regulation is part of a coordinated campaign to protect powerful companies, and offers advice to young people moving to the D.C. area. She then responds to the flood of listener feedback about her conversations with Victor Davis Hanson and Tucker Carlson, reflecting on why she values hearing from people with sharply different perspectives who are genuinely trying to understand the world. Emily considers the argument that Trump’s tariffs and trade strategy should be judged by their long-term results. She also digs deeper into Tucker’s willingness to talk with eccentric and sometimes controversial people, his comments about Israel and collective punishment, and questions about the influence of pro-Israel donors in the Trump administration. Emily explains where she agrees and disagrees with Tucker while making the broader case for airing difficult conversations rather than retreating into political echo chambers. Emily also assesses Mitch McConnell’s legacy, including his Supreme Court victories and the damage she believes he did to the conservative grassroots. She rounds out the show with thoughts on The Chronicles of Narnia, why asking tough questions of powerful people remains central to what she is trying to do with the show, and more… Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Emily Jashinsky sits down with Tucker Carlson, host of “The Tucker Carlson Show,” for a candid conversation about his changing relationship with President Donald Trump, the Butler assassination attempt, Israel, artificial intelligence, and more. Tucker reacts to his 2024 RNC speech for the first time, raises new questions about would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, and admits he ignored warning signs about Trump because he liked him and agreed with his agenda. He also reacts to CNN’s bizarre AI “actress” interview, responds to criticism about his views on Israel, sets the record straight on Abdul El-Sayed, and opens up about his own weaknesses, writing, and life away from screens. Emily then responds to audience reaction to her interviewing Tucker, explains After Party’s mission, and why she believes it’s crucial to talk to people on all sides like Tucker and Victor Davis Hanson. Emily ends the show with Jake Tapper’s fly-fishing interview with Gavin Newsom, arguing that the bizarre CNN segment perfectly captures everything legacy media still doesn’t understand about new media, and more.

Emily Jashinsky is joined by Victor Davis Hanson, author of “The Counterrevolution,” to assess President Trump’s second term, from his escalating trade fight with Canada and immigration crackdown to the growing threat posed by AI. Victor also recounts his remarkable personal encounter with Christine Fang, better known as “Fang Fang,” and weighs in on newly declassified intelligence about warnings before 9/11. Emily and Victor respond to James Talarico walking back his previous positions on transgender issues, Gayle King’s surprising reaction to the lone Lindsay Clancy holdout juror, and growing skepticism about elite universities. Emily rounds out the show with a look at Hunter Biden’s “Laptop” meme coin controversy and his dispute with Channel 5’s Andrew Callaghan.

On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily Jashinsky responds to the strong reaction to her recent Hasan Piker segment and explains why she’s willing to push back against “definition inflation,” even when that means disagreeing with people on her own side. She reflects on how Charlie Kirk’s approach to argument and persuasion changed over the years and considers how short-form media makes nuance increasingly difficult. Emily also shares some behind-the-scenes thoughts on her interview with Kathie Lee Gifford and dives into the relationship between materialism and identity politics. She explains why she believes Tucker Carlson is deliberately trying to cut out the noise and influence of traditional media, even when that results in some wacky conversations. Emily tackles voter ID and the potential for abuse with absentee ballots and discusses President Trump’s tendency to negotiate in public, including the real-world consequences of his rhetoric. She also shares her memories of 9/11 as a young girl in Wisconsin and reflects on the profound generational divide between those who remember the fear of that day and younger Americans who know it only through screens. Emily rounds out the show by making the case for intentionally building a life around church, neighbors, friends, community, and real human interaction rather than digital substitutes, and more… Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Emily Jashinsky is joined by Semafor Media Editor and “Mixed Signals” podcast co-host Max Tani to break down conflicting reports about Jimmy Kimmel’s future at ABC and what they reveal about the rapidly changing late-night landscape. Max also details his exclusive reporting on Crooked Ideas’ effort to build creator-first programming for younger audiences as Democrats continue to play catch-up to the right in the new media space. Emily then examines explosive new reporting about Elaine Chao’s alleged ties to Chinese government and CCP-linked organizations and reacts to Lindsay Clancy jurors publicly criticizing the lone holdout in her trial. She also weighs in on the conservative civil war over Vice President Vance’s stay-at-home parent proposal and highlights new FIRE data showing some encouraging signs for free speech on college campuses one year after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Emily closes out the show with viewer reaction to her recent segment on Hasan Piker, some additional thoughts on Piker’s controversial 9/11 comments, and flags new reporting raising questions about what U.S. and Israeli officials may have known ahead of the October 7 attacks.

Emily Jashinsky is joined by legendary singer, songwriter, and four-time Emmy Award-winning television host Kathie Lee Gifford to discuss her new song connected to the re-release of “Reagan.” Kathie reflects on meeting Ronald and Nancy Reagan and recalls the remarkable love and attentiveness she witnessed between them, explaining why she views the film as a love story rather than a political one. She also takes aim at today’s “culture of entitlement” and shares stories about her lifelong independent streak, including getting kicked out of Brownies and Sunday school. Emily and Kathie then remember Dolly Parton, with Kathie reflecting on their more than four decades of friendship, responding to the vandalism of Dolly’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and explaining the central role faith played in Dolly’s life. Kathie also reveals the remarkable advice Billy Graham gave her about getting involved in politics. Emily then reacts to the Associated Press Sports Editors creating a new award for “excellence in transgender sports coverage” and argues that the organization is presenting a highly contested ideological position as neutral journalism. She also responds to Jennifer Welch lamenting the decline of the Republican Party of Mitt Romney and John McCain. Finally, Emily takes a comprehensive look at influential left-wing streamer Hasan Piker, separating some of the caricatures surrounding him from his actual record while examining his controversial comments about Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Mao, Luigi Mangione, 9/11, and political violence.

On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily Jashinsky reflects on Dolly Parton’s approach to empowerment and why her refusal to see herself as a victim offers a lesson for modern culture. That leads into a discussion about pessimism in America, the danger of becoming consumed by it, and how recognizing problems can be productive when it motivates people to act. Emily continues the debate over her support for a flat tax, including questions about write-offs and whether everyone should have the same “skin in the game.” She also explores the Great Reset, open borders, and global elites while explaining why she remains deeply skeptical of corporate welfare. Emily discusses assimilation, the importance of a shared culture, and her concerns about American companies becoming dependent on foreign labor. She responds to a listener’s challenge about independent media by detailing her own background in journalism, breaking news, and training younger reporters. Emily also explains why she tries to understand people with wildly different political positions. She discusses the desensitizing effects of violence, particularly when graphic images are constantly delivered through social media, and argues that future generations would be better off growing up without algorithmic social media. Emily also gets personal about what she enjoys doing in her free time, some of her favorite television shows, and whether listeners should send her gifts (don’t). She rounds out the show with conversations about abortion, Islam, what the future of Christianity could look like in an increasingly secular Western society, and more… Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Emily Jashinsky reacts to the murder of 32-year-old Bank of America vice president and new mother Erin Piacenti, who police say was randomly stabbed in Times Square shortly after returning from maternity leave. Emily examines the disturbing online reaction from people celebrating or mocking Piacenti’s death simply because she worked for Bank of America and what it reveals about Americans becoming increasingly numb to violence. She then reacts to a heated CNN debate between Kmele Foster and Jemele Hill over claims that capitalism is bound up with white supremacy and explains why injecting identity politics into the conversation makes it harder to seriously confront capitalism’s flaws. Emily also breaks down new reporting about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s network of social media influencers, including taxpayer-funded contracts for some messaging campaigns, and raises questions about transparency when influencers are paid to promote government messaging. The show then turns to the preliminary hearing for accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, where his defense attorney repeatedly characterized Kirk as having spoken “hatefully” about certain groups. Finally, Emily takes a closer look at the women rallying around Lindsay Clancy and argues that many appear to be projecting their own experiences with postpartum depression and failures of the medical system onto Clancy’s case while losing sight of the three children who were killed. Emily rounds out the show by answering viewer questions from the live chat.
