Episode 28
7am: The search for an American service member inside Iran enters a second day today. That missing service member is one of two crew members aboard a U.S. F-15 fighter jet shot down over southern Iran early yesterday. Iran is believed to have shot down a second plane yesterday. A U.S official told MS NOW American forces safely rescued the plane's pilot after the aircraft went down near the Strait of Hormuz. As the U.S. continues its search for the missing service member, President Trump says this incident will not affect negotiations with Iran "at all." MS NOW Reporter David Noriega joins "The Weekend" from Israel to share the latest. Then, Mark Mazzetti and former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy Mara Karlin join to discuss conflicting messages from the White House.
8am: The lawsuit comes in addition to a separate legal challenge filed by Democratic Party leadership, which also argues the President has no such authority to order his sweeping change to elections. It's the opening salvo in what could become a major legal fight after the President doubled-down this week on false claims about mail-in voting, his favorite excuse for why he lost the 2020 election. Founder for the "Fair Fight" voting rights group and former Georgia gubernatorial candidate, Stacey Abrams joins The Weekend to discuss the president's latest attacks on voting.
9am: We're learning new details on what this will mean for both the future of the Department of Justice and the White House. Bondi was a loyal foot soldier and fierce defender of Trump, but clearly, that was not enough. Sources say her failed prosecutions of Trump's political opponents and the fallout from the Epstein files, played a big part in why she was ousted. The Atlantic reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick joins The Weekend to discuss what it means for the next candidate who will spearhead the DOJ and the possible purge of other Trump Administration officials. Democratic Congressional Candidate for Georgia's 14th District, Shawn Harris, also joins The Weekend to discuss the special election for the seat previously held by Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Pawn Stars
Long before banks, ATMS and check-cashing services, there were pawn shops. Pawning was the leading form of consumer credit in the United States until the 1950s, and pawn shops are still helping everyday people make ends meet. Pawn Stars takes you inside the colorful world of the pawn business. At the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on the outskirts of Las Vegas, three generations of the Harrison family - grandfather Richard, son Rick and grandson Corey - jointly run the family business, and there's clashing and camaraderie every step of the way. The three men use their sharp eyes and skills to assess the value of items from the commonplace to the truly historic, including a 16th-century samurai sword, a Super Bowl ring, a Picasso painting and a 17th-century stay of execution. It's up to them to determine what's real and what's fake, as they reveal the often surprising answer to the questions on everyone's mind, "What's the story behind it?" and "What's it worth?"
