Summary

President Trump, who hosted a lavish Halloween party while refusing to fund SNAP benefits for needy American families, told Norah O’Donnell on “60 Minutes” that he pardoned a man he knows nothing about. In tech news, a robot named NEO might be the next big thing in house cleaning. As co-writer of the new play, “This World of Tomorrow,” Tom Hanks isn’t in danger of getting fired if he messes up, but the shame of forgetting lines you wrote for yourself is punishment enough. Grab tickets to the play, opening on November 18th. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
