Full Show 6/1/2026: Multiple artists have pulled out of the Freedom 250 concert series; Trump's ego's to blame

On today's show, Scoot talks about Vanilla Ice saying he'd perform for the Freedom 250 concert and shares stories about his encounters with David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs. Also, The White House’s pressure campaign against critics keeps raising serious questions about free speech in America. Is freedom of speech really under attack right now, and are we doing enough to protect it when the target is someone we don’t like? Finally, Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, The Commodores, Morris Day, Young MC, and other artists have pulled out of the Freedom 250 concert series after saying they believed it was supposed to be a nonpartisan celebration of America’s 250th birthday, not a Trump-linked political event. Who’s left to play the party now, and what does it say when even nostalgia acts don’t want to get dragged into the politics of 2026?

Hour 3: Why wasn't Kid Rock invited to perform at the Freedom 250 concert?
