Episode 37
7am: President Trump said he is reviewing Iran's latest peace plan, but has already implied the proposal will be dead on arrival. Plus, a senior foreign diplomat who's been linked to negotiations told MS NOW contributor Inzamam Rashid that officials are bracing for further conflict, saying Iran is "preparing to be attacked again." Former Senior Pentagon Official Katherine Thompson and Host of Cosmopolitics, Elise Labott, join "The Weekend" to discuss what's next.
8am: GOP super PAC "Americans for Prosperity Action" is warning the party's Senate majority is at risk -- and is calling on Republicans to focus on the cost of living in their messaging. One state where this is being tested is Ohio, which holds its primary elections on Tuesday, including in a closely watched Senate special race for the seat formerly held by JD Vance. Republican incumbent Jon Husted, who was appointed to the seat, is running unopposed for his party's nomination. The Democratic favorite is former Senator Sherrod Brown, who has long centered his political career on the working class and economic issues. Republicans seem worried that Democrats could be competitive here in November, even in a state that Trump has carried three times. Kimberly Atkins-Stohr and Jackie Kucinich join The Weekend to discuss how President Trump's low approval ratings may cause an uphill battle for Republicans in the midterms.
9am: It's been a long week of the Justice Department and Supreme Court enabling Trump's autocratic moves. From the massive blow against the Voting Rights Act, to yet another James Comey probe, the enablers' actions from this week will be felt for generations. Eric Holder, the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and now chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, joins "The Weekend" to discuss.
