The third hour starts with the Cut Sheet and former MSNBC commentator Rula Jebreal’s remarks about Hakeem Jeffries. We react to her calling Jeffries an “AIPAC monkey” and “errand boy,” then question the standards applied to inflammatory racial rhetoric. That leads straight into Enes Kanter Freedom’s ongoing WNBA campaign, the league’s eligibility language and his mock offer to become commissioner while bringing a dictionary with him.
Cathy Engelbert’s plan to step down at the end of 2026 adds another piece to the WNBA discussion before we turn to Nike. The company is set to leave the S&P 100 after its shares fall sharply from their 2021 peak, and Shawn connects the company’s struggles to his long-running criticism of its Colin Kaepernick and Dylan Mulvaney campaigns. Shawn recounts refusing to buy Nike products since 2018 while arguing that consumers are free to punish brands they dislike.
The hour then becomes a sustained Lindsay Clancy discussion. We acknowledge the arguments involving postpartum psychosis, prescription medication and mental illness while Shawn insists none of them erase the deaths of three children or the need for accountability. Supporters claiming Clancy is framed, a fundraiser reaching more than $1.1 million with a $3 million goal, the Constance Fisher case and the killing of 2-year-old Barrett Walsh in Illinois all enter the discussion. Tessa from Philadelphia closes the hour by arguing that adoption remains an alternative when a parent believes raising a child is impossible.
