Summary
First, they vent after DeCarlos Brown, who stabbed Iryna Zarutska to death on a Charlotte, North Carolina, is deemed incompetent to stand trial in a mental health evaluation. Jim and Greg explain how it's thoroughly implausible for this diagnosis to suddenly emerge now and how this would be a major miscarriage of justice if the court agrees.
Next, they applaud the FBI and Justice Department for charging a former United States Special Operations Command employee at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, over the alleged leak of “top secret” classified intelligence tied to a highly sensitive military unit.
Then, they help Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger understand the reasons why her political honeymoon is over and why her approval numbers are already south of 50 percent.
Finally, they can only laugh as MSNOW's Lawrence O'Donnell launches the most ridiculous attack possible in connection with the amazing rescue mission conducted in Iran last weekend.
