About this episode
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann discuss attorney general Pam Bondi’s decision to order a federal prosecutor to prepare evidence for a grand jury looking into Obama administration officials and their handling of intelligence about Russia’s role in the 216 election. And they talk about the House Oversight Committee which today issued subpoenas for Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr and others as they investigate Jeffrey Epstein. Then, they discuss Senator Elizabeth Warren’s endorsement of New York Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mandami, while other prominent Democrats demure. Plus, they talk about Jim Acosta holding an on-air conversation with an artificial intelligence generated version of one of the students killed in the Parkland school shooting in 2018, Joaquin Oliver. According to Acosta, “I really felt like I was speaking with Joaquin. It’s just a beautiful thing.” Next, Tom talks to RCP contributor and lawyer Richard Porter about what redistricting in Texas may mean if California, New York and other states follow suit. Then RCP contributor Maggie Miller talks to psychologist and lead investigator Christopher J. Ferguson about a recent piece in RealClearInvestigations that looks at “dopamine addiction” claims surrounding social media. Are we really addicted to our phones, or is that a myth?
