Transcript:

Donald Trump is now planning to confront the media at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. It is exactly what you think. We are going to see Trump show up, attack the press, and leave before anybody can respond. We’re going to talk about it.

Now, at the same time, we are seeing reporting that the FBI is looking into journalists doing journalism. Calling sources, sending emails, and they are investigating them for doing that. We’re going to talk about why this matters, the chilling effect on the First Amendment.

And then we will hear from Donald Trump’s own White House press secretary on Fox News, falling apart under the most basic of questioning.

And when you talk about post-modernism, have you ever heard of doing your own math, having your own way of calculating percentages? Well, that is what a top cabinet official says that they are doing.

Polls show cracks for Republicans, brutal moments for RFK during Senate testimony.

All of it and more today.
