show moreJohnathan and Brian discuss the Manhattan trial of former president Donald Trump. A jury has been seated and opening statements are set to begin.
We now know who Witness 1 will be, and you guessed it, it's David Pecker!
Judge Merchan has some decisions to make on Trump violating the gag order in place and will be very strict regarding juror intimidation.
Segment two brings us to the often chaotic House of Representatives where Speaker Mike Johnson faces the prospect of losing his job as he got the spending bill geared towards Ukraine and Israel passed in the House. More than half of the Republican members of the House voted against the bill as Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene has threatened to have the Speaker vacated.
And, we have a BRAND NEW SEGMENT on the show: Ford Fact Check.
