Summary
Three things to know regardless of what we see, hear or learn in the expected arraignment of former President Trump in New York City.
And why we should all beware the symbiotic relationship between "The Press" and the former President.
Is there more than meets the eye with a sudden cut in oil production by major oil producing countries? We take a look at higher prices you may face.
Meanwhile, Russia arrests an American journalist; the Wall Street Journal calls it "hostage diplomacy." What to know and why it matters.
Why we should watch America's famous burger chain, McDonalds, ahead of a jobs report on Friday.
Speaking of fries...should we all just do away with egg-dye for Easter and pick-up potatoes? You be the judge!

| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Hope you're off to a great start to your week. Hopefully a better start than this broadcast, because I've attempted to start this broadcast a number of different times. They get about 15 seconds in and then I have to stop because at a certain point, word sort of fail you as you go into a week like the one that we're entering into. The first week of April, we know it's going to be a historic week of news. |
| 0:23.5 | We know there's a lot of different topics that are requiring quite the bit of mental acrobatics to not only cover, but to understand. |
| 0:31.1 | And so my hope is that this scoop makes things a little bit easier for you in what could be a very challenging news cycle. |
| 0:37.7 | Speaking of which, this sort of set the tone. |
| 0:39.5 | When we saw this, we thought, well, we have to share this because you don't normally see this, |
| 0:44.1 | although it happens roughly 40 times a year, believe it or not, that lightning strikes |
| 0:49.2 | the World Trade Center. |
| 0:50.8 | And so we had this amazing video of it taking place. No injuries, just symbolic to watch. |
| 0:59.6 | And that's why this video has gone viral to see this take place in such a dramatic fashion as we start off a week where we are going to see a |

| 1:18.1 | going to limit some of my comments at this very moment and some of my reporting because we have a |
| 1:22.9 | little bit of an incomplete story here. We know it's a big story, but we also have a certain lack of information. |
| 1:29.8 | I loved this response by the Empire State Building. By the way, I don't know who's running |
| 1:33.6 | these different social media accounts, whether it's for the National Park Service, the Empire State |
| 1:37.2 | Building. It's like a bunch of comedians. They're hilarious. The Empire State Building retweeted |
| 1:42.7 | this video of lightning striking the World Trade Center |
| 1:45.6 | and just asked a question, are you okay? |
| 1:49.1 | Are you okay? |
| 1:49.8 | That's a great question to start off the week. |
| 1:51.1 | Are you okay? |
| 1:51.9 | Let's start with curiosity. |
