Summary
It's News Day Tuesday! Sam & Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on Kevin McCarthy’s job, legal news around Trump, the CFPB, and Menendez, respectively, SAG-AFTRA negotiations, drug price negotiations, and the eviction crisis facing US children. Next, they dive a little deeper into Trump’s response to his developing fraud case in New York, coming out of the gates targeting the “corrupt” judge and AG, despite the case NOT being a jury trial, before they shift to Matt Gaetz throwing away his future to embarrass Kevin McCarthy (to everyone’s benefit), and the strategic response from Democrats to let them fight. Then, they parse through Ben Collins’ recent reporting connecting Elon Musk’s Twitter agenda to a far-right, anti-Semitic, transphobic, and anti-vax article from a former Trump speechwriter that put forward Musk’s crippling of the public square as a central tool to the future far-right successes.
And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Stephen Crowder attempt to clamor back into the public consciousness through gutter-level racism, talk with Ark from New Jersey on trusting military aid to Ukraine (and elsewhere), and the Right Side Broadcasting hosts have some… interesting comments on liberal women. George calls in from the SAG-AFTRA strike, Aaron from Indianapolis discusses the attack on public education, and Astrid from New Brunswick explores the impact of parents’ rights protests. Lane from Nashfield takes on the various types of cooperatives, and the MR Crew covers the live vote on McCarthy's future, plus, your calls and IMs!

| 0:39.0 | Downtown Brooklyn USA. Yeah, downtown Brooklyn USA. It's said Mitch McConnell. |
| 0:47.0 | On the program today, vote on McCarthy's speakership could come literally any minute and his fate in democratic hands. |
| 1:00.0 | Hands which seem rather reluctant. They're more willing to flip them off. Tiny hands. Meanwhile, day two of Trump's fraud trial or arguments begin today at the Supreme Court to decide the fate of the consumer financial protection bureau and the first step act. |
| 1:21.0 | Sag after and the studios after meeting yesterday will continue negotiations tomorrow. |
| 1:31.0 | And ten drug companies agree to Medicare price negotiations. Despite the fact their suits are ongoing, they don't seem to be going too well. |

| 2:27.0 | Sorry, we're a little bit distracted. It is news day Tuesday Tuesday. Yes. And we're a little distracted because the vote for Kevin McCarthy's speakership. |
| 2:42.0 | Could literally come up any minute. McCarthy just gabbled the House in the session. |
| 2:47.0 | And we heard some words from Democrats coming out of a closed-door caucus meeting. We will get to that in just a moment. |
| 2:55.0 | And if there is, when we get down to the vote, we'll cover it live too. We're watching that as we speak. |
| 3:03.0 | But in the meantime, Donald Trump and some people are basically saying oddly that this is the case that Trump is most worried about. |
| 3:14.0 | The fraud trial in New York, even though there is no criminal repercussions for himself. But his ability to make money. |
| 3:26.0 | That's all he cares about. That's why he ran for president in the first place in order to brand himself more. |
| 3:31.0 | I mean, and you know, he's going to need cash. He's not going to be able to collect cash. And if he gets to be president, he's not going to want to leave. |
| 3:39.0 | Right. Because, well, he doesn't want to go to jail. But we actually also, if we have time today, I want to talk a little bit about red Caesarism, which is something that would sound silly. |
| 3:55.0 | 20 years ago, yeah, except for it's this sort of like growing, burgeoning, respected within conservative circles theory about what the country needs at the moment. |
