Summary
Later in the show...Why are teachers now being given guns in Tennessee schools?
We start this episode with the astonishing testimony of former Trump ally David Pecker - who ran the National Enquirer tabloids - and freuquently bought up the embarassing stories about Trump to save him face when he was running for president in 2016.
Was this against the law? Does it hurt Trump's defence?
And why does Trump keep slagging off his critics on social media when he's been gagged ?
Later what's actually happening on the Columbia campus protests?

| 0:51.3 | And on the subject of difficult questions, why is the National Enquirer, a tabloid newspaper, |
| 0:57.3 | buying up stories about Donald Trump |
| 0:59.9 | and killing them off so they never see the light of day? |
| 1:04.4 | It's all part of the mystery of the Trump trial unfolding in New York as we speak. |

| 1:31.2 | it's the act of buying up stories that have the potential to hurt someone |
| 1:37.4 | and making sure they never see the light of day. |
| 1:40.4 | In other words, you pay them to go away. |
| 1:43.4 | Why are we talking about this right now? Because |
