Sam recaps some of the developments from the past week including the escalating attacks on cities (such as the Black Hawk helicopter raid on an apartment building in South Shore Chicago), the Trump/Hegseth meeting to direct generals to get ready to wage war crimes and train troops against the US population, the government shutdown and more.
Then, she speaks with Dr. Mary Anne Franks, George Washington University professor and author of Fearless Speech: Breaking Free from the First Amendment, about what Trump and MAGA mean by "free speech" as they directly censor critics. Find out more about her work here.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
