Hey folks, Pete Barrara here. This week marks 100 days since President Trump took office again. And boy, do we have a lot to discuss. So Joyce and I are back with a new episode of The Insider podcast.

0:14.3

We break down Attorney General Pam Bondi's reshaping of the Department of Justice, including a more aggressive approach to immigration-related

prosecutions. In the past week, federal prosecutors charged two state court judges with allegedly

interfering with immigration enforcement. Plus, the Trump administration is defending its decision

to deport U.S. citizen children to Honduras, along with their mothers who were in the

1:44.9

the courthouse, they arrest her, they walk her out of the courthouse, in cuffs, put her into

1:49.4

their car. And the allegation is that I think the prior week, she had had an individual in her
