According to reports, the Trump administration is close to a $500 million bailout to save Spirit Airlines.

Yeah.

The CEO of Spirit was like, with $500 million, our planes could have two wings again.

Amazing.

You'll know Trump owns Spirit Airlines when they have a list of everyone who flew in the plane but won't release it.

That's late nights take on a potential rescue deal for Spirit Airlines. Another example of the Trump

administration wanting to socialize a stake in private companies in America. Also, we're going to

go through the legal challenges to Virginia's redistricting

referendum. After a judge temporarily blocked a measure that voters actually approved Tuesday

night, which is probably why that will be overturned. Plus, the New York Times investigative

reporter Michael Schmidt joins us. Get this. His latest piece digs into FBI director Cash Patel, possibly using the agency to

investigate a journalist who reported on his girlfriend. Good morning. Welcome to morning, Joe.

It's Thursday, April 23rd. Willie, a lot to talk about there. And Michael is coming up in about

30 minutes to talk about that. But first, I love all these people that were running around, like,

you know, throughout 2024, saying if you elected Democrat instead of Donald Trump,

he's going to get you into a war in Iran. He's not going to pay attention to the cost of the grocery stores and the gas pump.

And those Democrats, they're socialists.

They will take over.

Socialism is actually taking over private industry.

It's what Clement Attlee did in Great Britain

before Margaret Thatcher reversed it.

Now we're going the opposite direction
