| 0:00.0 | The Trump administration is reportedly in advance talks to provide a rescue package for Spirit Airlines |

| 0:13.4 | half my monologue. |

| 0:33.7 | But first, a closer look. Republicans are fuming over Donald Trump. Look. |
| 0:44.2 | Republicans are fuming over Donald Trump's failed gerrymandering strategy, which could cost them their jobs in November. |
| 0:45.6 | Meanwhile, the Trump family is facing backlash after cashing in government contracts. |
| 0:50.1 | For more on this, it's time for a closer look. |
| 0:56.0 | There's a lot going on right now. |
| 0:58.0 | Fuel supply shortages, cabinet turmoil, war spiraling out of control. |
| 1:02.0 | But we have to start off with the biggest news of the day. |

| 2:01.6 | Was it New York Mayor Zon Ron Mondani? |

It's one of the Mets' fans' most painful memories that started a decade-long spiral for the team. Now, I'm going to show you a picture of that horrible moment. |
