Secret Service Brawl at Obama’s Mansion + Brad Meltzer + Paul Guilfoyle

Author Brad Meltzer joins Adam to reflect on his powerful commencement speech, his challenging upbringing, and the life-changing advice he received from a teacher that inspired his writing career. The two also discuss the lasting impact of encouragement given to children, a wild story about Brad’s father and grandfather both being struck by lightning, and the difference between talkers and doers. In the news, Elisha Krauss sits in with Adam to react to woke commencement speeches from Scott Pelley and Governor Tim Walz, Secret Service agents facing suspension after a brawl near Obama’s residence, and the CDC’s updated guidelines ending COVID vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women. Later, actor Paul Guilfoyle calls in to share stories from his East Coast upbringing, his journey into acting, his appreciation for James Dean and classic Porsches, and his latest film, Any Day Now. Get it on.
