On Sunday, December 14, 2025, from 7-9 PM (Eastern), join hosts Mert Roberts and Lucas A. Ferrara on AM970 Radio for two hours of sharp analysis, spirited debate, and compelling interviews on the next episode of SHAKE IT OFF WITH MERT & LUCAS, LIVE!
Hour 1: Olympics Ban Trans Athletes? |Rachel Corbett on Criminal Profiling
The opening hour tackles one of the most contentious debates in global sport: the growing movement to bar transgender women who experienced male puberty from competing in female categories. The hosts break down the science, the fairness arguments, and the political fault lines that have left California marching to its own beat while most federations and states move toward restriction. The conversation then pivots to an interview with Rachel Corbett, whose latest book The Monsters We Make: Murder, Obsession, and the Rise of Criminal Profiling (2025) charts the fascinating rise of profiling from its Victorian origins to its modern role in law enforcement.
Hour 2: Illegal Orders or Sedition? | Darin Kinder’s 9/11 Survival Story
The second hour examines the firestorm sparked by six Democratic lawmakers who released a video reminding U.S. service members of their duty to refuse unlawful orders. Denounced by President Trump as “seditious” but defended by legal experts as a restatement of military law, the video ignited a fierce debate over discipline, constitutional fidelity, and partisan divides. The hour closes with a powerful interview featuring Darin Kinder, retired U.S. Secret Service agent and author of Bury Me in a Dirty Suit (2025), who recounts his harrowing survival of the South Tower collapse on 9/11 and reflects on the lessons of courage, faith, and resilience.
