Host Saeed Khan talks with seasoned attorneys Steve Fishman, Bill Seikaly, and Joel Sklar; union and community activist Barb Ingalls; veteran journalist Nancy Derringer; and Deadline Detroit co-founder Allan Lengel.
They discuss: Sen. Lindsey Graham's death at 71; a judge voiding Trump's IRS immunity; the DOJ launching a grand jury investigation of UAW President Shawn Fain; Attorney General Todd Blanche's hearing; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's desire for the military to conduct testosterone tests; a Wayne County judge representing a defendant in an East Lansing courtroom; and Vice President J.D. Vance telling podcaster Joe Rogan that he's concerned about the sexual optics of eating a corn dog in public.
One panelist suggests the public send Vance corn dogs. Another panelist, a friend of Sen. Gary Peters, names the senator the "Schmuck of the Week."
