You made it to Friday everyone. Thank you so much for pressing play on today's show.

Thanks to everybody who stopped by our happy hour hangout last night. That was awesome.

As always, excited to have former Capitol Hill

police officer Harry Dunn joining us stopping by at the hang out last night

talk about his run for Congress, very cool.

I have an awesome guest on today's show.

He is becoming one of my favorite people to talk to.

Colby Hall, who is over at Mediite doing great work, always writing

interesting things about how media is covering politics especially and more.

Colby joins me at 11 minutes after the headlines.

But there is a lot to talk about.

Time for the news and on Friday, a reminder that the Friday news is thanks to Ryan Gillingham or Gileghem or Guy Gelgemy, whatever it's pronounced.

Ever since three Fridays ago, he was the only listener and he's been listening for 14 years

hey Ryan to tell me how much he appreciated me doing the Friday news so now I'm obligated to give him

credit for me doing it thinking to you Ryan and everybody else that appreciates the news.

Let's start with the big story yesterday which I think, I think, has to be the news about the

negotiations on any kind of legislation on immigration passing through the Senate or House.

We learned this week yesterday that apparently Republican leaders at the direct request of the

party's presumptive presidential

nominee the disgraced former president Donald Trump had put the breaks on any

effort to reach a compromise with Democrats on immigration policy That's huge news that they have stopped negotiating on immigration policy

because they want to keep the issue a problem for Donald Trump to solve it.
