Don Lemon Protest Controversy, Jack Smith vs. Trump, Waxahachie Charter Changes + More | Ep. 117

Описание: In Episode 117 of Grit and Good News, we dive into politics, culture, and the stories sparking debate — from questions about protest accountability and Trump’s legal battles to local government power struggles right here in Waxahachie. As always, expect grit, humor, straight talk, and a heavy dose of common-sense perspective.

But first, the warm-up:

Light Talk & Opening Updates
We kick things off with show music, small talk, and a run of quick-hit updates — including Number 17, the upcoming Super Bowl scheduled for February 8, 2026, whether the Mavs are tanking, the 2026 Winter Olympics starting on February 6, and a handful of other stories catching our attention.

Tarnations
From Billie Eilish to Savannah Guthrie’s mom, plus a little something involving Bill and Hillary, we air out the things making us shake our heads before getting serious.

Then into the main lineup:

Block One — Don Lemon & Protest Accountability
Should former CNN host Don Lemon have been arrested for his involvement during the Minneapolis protests at a church? We talk media figures, activism, and where lines may—or may not—exist.

Block Two — Jack Smith vs. Trump
A clear-eyed conversation about Special Counsel Jack Smith and his ongoing pursuit of Donald Trump, what it means legally, and why it matters politically.

Random Thoughts — For Jeff Today
A quick mental reset with riffs, observations, and whatever’s on Jeff’s mind before we close strong.

Block Three — He Said / He Said
We wrap with a local deep dive into Waxahachie’s city charter and proposed council changes: Mayor elected by the public vs. chosen by council; expanding from five to seven council members (and possibly paying them); extending terms from two years to three.

What say us? We break it down and give our take.

We go live every Tuesday and Thursday from noon–1 PM on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitch.
