American legislators in the House are hurling personal insults at each other - meanwhile Biden and Trump have committed to debate each other on TV and Trump is using an attack ad - a riff off of a Tom Petty song- to accuse Biden of “free falling“...

If the adult porn director Stormy Daniels was the star witness of the Trump trial last week, this week it got even hotter. Trump's former fixer, friend and lawyer took the stand.

Except now, Michael Cohen is no friend of Trump. What's more, he's a convicted felon, a liar and a perjurer...

In a surprise move, the sex worker and pornstar Stormy Daniels appeared as a witness yesterday in the trial of Donald Trump to reveal details of the night they spent together in a Nevada hotel room.

The details were specific, and to some ears rather lurid - and included a description of her beating him on the backside with a rolled up magazine. None of this is illegal - but what might be is the money she alleges he paid her to hush it up - money from his campaign funds...

Is Trump above the law and should he have immunity from a case involving his actions around the January 6th insurrection?

That's what the Supreme Court has spent the last week arguing about. Amazingly, they might be making a case for why he checks notes... IS immune.

We hear from The New York Times Supreme Court supremo Adam Liptak...

Later in the show...Why are teachers now being given guns in Tennessee schools?

We start this episode with the astonishing testimony of former Trump ally David Pecker - who ran the National Enquirer tabloids - and freuquently bought up the embarassing stories about Trump to save him face when he was running for president in 2016...

How do you pick a jury of right-minded individuals to pass a fair verdict on Donald Trump?

His lawyers say it's impossible, that this trial is a witch hunt, that he's been gagged AND denied the chance to go to his son's graduation.

David Cameron flew to Washington to try and seek more funding for Ukraine. But he's been snubbed by the House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Was it hubristic to think he could change minds in America? What happens to Ukraine now?

But we start with what happened dramatically, overnight in America where the state of Arizona has just brought BACK an abortion ban dating from 1864...

Trump‘s Truth Social company has plunged in value on the stock market after losses of more than 58 million were revealed.

Luckily, though, he still has his bible business in which he tries to flog a double whammy bible constitution combo for a neat 60 dollars.

Trump is trying to win few more Christians whilst simultaneously trying not to endorse an abortion ban that could see the Republicans lose the massive electoral state of Florida...

Trump will face a criminal trial in front of a jury before the presidential election. He'll be the first ex-president to do so - all while he has to stump up the not so measly 175 million dollars to write off his fraudulent asset evaluations. At least it's not the original $464 million - which was knocked down at the eleventh hour on Monday. Truth Social, his social media site, looks to be earning him a pretty penny at least as it's set to go public...

Elon Musk has given an interview to former CNN Anchor Don Lemon. He gets quite upset when Lemon asks him why X has gone to shit under his stewardship, and whether hate speech is still welcomed on his platform.

Meanwhile, Trump is talking about a blood bath in Ohio and no one can decide whether he means the car industry or the state of democracy...
