About this episode
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss reactions to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, including President Trump’s announcement that he would award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously, and the firing of commentator Matthew Dowd for on-air remarks made on MSNBC. Then, they run down the many ways the country is recognizing the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. And, they talk about today’s inflation numbers released by The Bureau of Labor Statistics and next week’s Federal Reserve meeting, when the Fed will vote on whether to raise short-term interest rates and if so, by how much. Plus, a federal judge has ruled that Fed Governor Lisa Cook can participate in the meeting and remain on the job pending resolution of her lawsuit against the Trump Administration. And then finally, Carl Cannon talks to RCP White House Correspondent Phil Wegmann, who has been on pool duty at the White House for the past 24 hours. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
