Indeed we do. We continue to be on Iran War Watch, the latest indications and comments from the president. We will detail everything that we know at this point. We also have yesterday evening a new ice shooting in Minneapolis. Very different details coming out, and we're gonna have a civil rights lawyer join us to talk about that and also take us through the shooting of Renee Goode, what the government is doing, and her concerns about the violations of civil liberties, not just of immigrants, but of the entire American population. The FBI executed a search warrant on the home of a Washington Post reporter, raising a lot of First Amendment concerns there. We have a Ford worker who got flipped off by the President of the United States for calling him a, quote,
Krystal Ball 1:24
pedophile protector.

How is Iran's media propaganda influencing public perception?

Krystal Ball 1:25
So that's an interesting one. We're going to pick up that segment we had to drop the other day about gambling, the way it's taken over everything, including now the Golden Globes. And Pablo Torre is going to join us to talk about a new sports reporting debate that Sagar has been paying particularly close attention to.
Saagar Enjeti 1:41
Yes, I had to shoehorn this one in there. For NFL fans, you'll know about this NFL reporter scandal where a reporter praised a coach at a press conference kicking off A whole lot of discourse about Pablo as a real investigative journalist could weigh in and enlighten us. Perhaps, you know, get to some of the – this is the journalism scandal, which it should be the Washington Post one that hits every American household, but probably the most likely one that everybody actually has heard.
Krystal Ball 2:05

But let's go ahead and start with Iran. Some significant developments currently happening. The president at various times saying that we're locked and loaded. We're going to go in.

What details emerged from the recent ICE shooting in Minneapolis?

Saagar Enjeti 2:49
Red line if they hang anybody. Now he's saying they may not be hanging anyone. There was some breaking news yesterday late in the Oval Office where the president appeared to say that Iran had backed away from any of its pledges to execute prisoners. Here's what he had to say.
Donald Trump 3:04
We have been notified and pretty strongly, but we'll find out what that all means. But we've been told that the killing in Iran is stopping and stopped and stopping. And there's no plan for executions or an execution or executions. So I've been told that a good authority will find out about it. I'm sure if it happens, we'll all be very upset, including you will be very upset. But that's just gotten to me from information that the killing has stopped, that the executions have stopped. They're not going to have an execution. which a lot of people were talking about for the last couple of days. Today was going to be the day of execution over the last few days. And they said people were shooting at them with guns and they were shooting back.
Donald Trump 3:56
And, you know, it's one of those things.

What are the civil liberties implications of the Minneapolis shooting?

Donald Trump 3:58
But they told me that there'll be no executions. And so I hope that's true. Does this mean military action is now off the table against Iran?
