Episode description

Following the brutal killing of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols at the hands of law enforcement, his family’s attorney calls the Memphis police firings the “Blueprint” for the response, and President Biden pushes for the George Floyd Police Reform Act.

Plus, Donald Trump sticks to a familiar script in his first 2024 campaign stops – but will it be enough to jump start his flagging third bid for the White House?

And, revelations raise fresh questions as to who funded Rep. George Santos' campaign after he refuses to confirm the source of a $500k loan.

Next up, Biden names his next White House chief of staff. We give you the lowdown on Jeff Zients.

Finally, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel wins her fourth term, and asks for unity amid a call from Governor DeSantis for “New blood” in the Committee.

On today’s panel: Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Wesley Lowery, NPR White House Correspondent Asma Khalid, The New York Time’s Astead Herndon, Politico’s Alex Burns, and CNN Political Director David Chalian.
