Nikki Haley and the Trump feud
Former President Trump's recent criticism of Nikki Haley and her husband has sparked controversy within the GOP primary. Trump questioned why Haley's husband has not been on her campaign trail, which Haley defended by highlighting her husband's military service. This feud between Haley and Trump not only sheds light on their personal relationship but also reflects the larger divide within the Republican Party and the direction it is taking.
The role of spirituality in music
In his latest album, Michael, Killer Mike explores spirituality and its connection to music. He believes that people are not moving away from spirituality but rather from institutions that promise spirituality but fail to deliver. Killer Mike sees music as a conduit for people to find a sense of wholeness, community, and meaning. He believes that music can bring individuals on the same frequency and energy, allowing them to connect with something greater.

Killer Mike's speech inspired Atlanta to support organizers and work towards solutions, making the city a hub for activism and change.
Jordan Klepper dives into Trump’s recent remarks about Nikki Haley and her husband, who might or might not be missing. Jordan then heads to South Carolina to ask Nikki Haley supporters what she can do to beat Trump and later hits a Trump rally to ask his supporters why they’ll never vote for Haley. If Republicans are going to compromise with Democrats on the border crisis, they’re going to need a new issue for Trump to run on. Thankfully, Jordan and Desi Lydic have a few ideas to enrage the masses –– from Taylor Swift, to drag queens, to basically anything with letters. And legendary rapper, Killer Mike, joins Jordan to discuss sweeping the major rap categories at the Grammys, how spirituality played a role in his award-winning album, "Michael," how the record is an extension of Run The Jewels, and why he encourages fellow activists to use community to effectively organize and mobilize.
