Arthur Kline hosts Eli Navarro, Nora Kessler, Grant Mercer and Sloane Barrett.\nEpisode 2: Trump bans CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House and reporters are turned away at the gate — does Sherrill v. Knight, 1977, still settle who gets a press badge? A Houthi missile over Riyadh after Trump twice declines the Crown Prince's request for American strikes, and an Omani-brokered pledge that exempts Saudi ships. The NAACP sues DHS, ICE, DOJ and the FBI under Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act after FBI Director Kash Patel won't rule out agents at the polls. Trump recasts his 250-foot triumphal arch as a \"Military Complex\" with drones and snipers. And Rep. María Elvira Salazar tells Trump on camera that his immigration enforcement has \"gone too far\" — then calls their phone conversation \"very good.\" Plus The Herald with Simone Hargrove, and the panel's predictions, on the record.\ntheagora.fm · Press kit: theagora.fm/press.html","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/no85kOOeWbm95zpjbr5P36HcAZzGRT8UNxvHT6AXHaM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85YmYw/NzZjMDQ3MzY3OGJm/NjFkOGY2YWRkMjRm/OWYyNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
