Trump's UFC Birthday

June 14, 2026, 9 AM; Much of the hype and money that is surrounding the event has spurred controversy, with critics saying it reeks of corruption. President Trump and some of his allies could personally benefit from the fight. The Trump Organization has also promoted a line of "Freedom 250" themed silver and gold medallions, priced from $250 to $12K, tied to the event. The "No Kings" movement will hold a counter-event to protest Trump's policies and what organizers calling "strongman politics." Sen. Cory Booker (NJ-D) joins The Weekend to discuss the latest on the UFC Freedom 250 event, Men's Mental Health, the Iran conflict and the confirmation of Todd Blanche to as Attorney General.

Obama Presidential Center Preview

June 14, 2026, 8 AM; The organizers aimed to represent a modern redefinition of the traditional presidential library with campaign memorabilia and artifacts on display, while also making room for public spaces like a new library, basketball court, gardens, a huge playbround and picnic area. As the New York Times points out, "It is a trip to a parallel universe, one suffused in earnest talk of hope and change, not dark warnings about American carnage, One marching toward a multiracial, progressive future rather than dismantling a suffocating woke tyranny." Valerie Jarrett, CEO of the Obama Foundation, and former Senior adviser to President Barack Obama joins The Weekend to discuss the opening of the Obama Presidential Center.

Judge Wants it in Writing

June 13, 2026; 8am: On Friday, a federal judge extended an indefinite block on Trump’s $1.8 billion so-called “anti-weaponization” fund. In her decision, the judge cited acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s unwillingness to rescind the order in writing, as well as Trump’s continued public push for the fund. The judge said she will consider rescinding her order if the DOJ submits a sworn written declaration that the administration is not moving forward with the fund, and is giving them until next Friday to act. Former Federal Prosecutor Ankush Khardori and Skye Perryman, whose nonprofit organization represented the plaintiffs challenging the fund, join “The Weekend” to discuss.

The Platner-Maine Conundrum

June 7, 2026, 8 AM; National Democrats are carefully navigating how to respond to growing controversies surrounding the likely nominee in one of their most important Senate flip targets — Maine being the only Republican-held seat on the ballot in a state that Kamala Harris won in 2024. So far, Democratic leadership has not pulled support for Platner. Kevin Fry and Jackie Kucinich join The Weekend to discuss the latest controversies involving Platner and the Senate primary election in Maine. Rev. Al Sharpton also joins The Weekend to discuss the Supreme Court's decision to allow Alabama to use a congressional map that favors Republicans, but was previously ruled as an intentionally racially discriminatory practice by a lower court.
