On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily Jashinsky answers several thought-provoking questions about politics and life. She opens the show with a question about politicians and if they should moderate their positions to be successful. She also takes a number of questions about immigration, including if Trump actually ended Senator James Lankford’s immigration bill, American crime levels, the erosion of civil liberties, and virtue signaling amidst the protests. Emily also addresses the Epstein emails and irresponsible reporting on them. Emily discusses Bad Bunny’s controversial Super Bowl halftime show, thoughts on Puerto Rico, and when monoculture ended. She also offers some career advice to a young listener and explains how to successfully network and offers thoughts on overworking. Emily responds to some less serious questions about her favorite foods, if she’d like a private jet or private yacht, why she enjoys having her friends on the show, and if she’s make a Spotify list of favorite music for listeners. She wraps up the show with a tribute to James Van Der Beek and she reminisces about the beauty of Dawson’s Creek.

Emily Jashinsky opens the show with a moving tribute to actor James Van Der Beek who passed away following a battle with cancer. She shares personal reflections about him, his career, and the kindness he showed her. Then Emily is joined by her friends: Christopher Bedford, senior politics editor for Blaze News and author of The Beltway Brief, and Sarah Bedford, investigations editor for the Washington Examiner. They begin with a discussion on the absolute circus in Washington on Wednesday when Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. Then the conversation moves to a grand jury’s refusal to indict six Democrats who told active-duty members of the military and intelligence community that they were obligated to refuse illegal orders, plus new headlines about Fulton County’s handling of the 2020 election and why it matters. They also discuss a cringy new video of Washington Post Tech Guild members attempting to enter the newspaper’s office building in protest. Next Emily is joined by Lionel Shriver, author of the new book “A Better Life.” They discuss media framing of ICE data, and why Shriver’s new book is receiving such harsh criticism from the left. Emily ends the show with a big announcement about the future of “After Party.”
