In this hour, Maggie hosts former judges John Tinder and Diane Wood, discussing Keep Our Republic's letter (https://keepourrepublic.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/ConDay-letter.pdf) advocating for judicial independence amid rising threats and misinformation. They emphasize the judiciary's nonpartisan role, pushing back against the perception of partisanship in the courts. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's incoherent rant at the UN, where he bizarrely claims America owes him the Nobel Peace Prize, highlights a stark contrast with Jimmy Kimmel's poised return to late-night TV, advocating for free speech. With Kimmel sounding more presidential than the actual president, this hour underscores a tumultuous political landscape.
