Episode 86

Meanwhile Democrats are speaking out about the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon joins The Weekend to discuss what she observed while visiting Chicago.
8am: President Trump's on and off again fight with Canada continues after he called off trade talks over an anti-tariff ad early this week. Days later, he posted on Truth Social that he planned to hike tariffs on imports of Canadian goods by an extra 10% because the ad wasn't pulled off the air immediately. Plus, as inflation is on the rise, SNAP benefits are about to expire November 1st. Rep. Brendan Boyle, ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee, joins "The Weekend" to discuss it all.
9am: This week, President Trump called for more of his political rivals to be prosecuted, issued a controversial pardon, and said that the Department of Justice owes him $230 million in damages, which House Democrats have now launched a probe into. Ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee Representative Jamie Raskin joins "The Weekend" to discuss House Speaker Mike Johnson's attempts to downplay Trump's request as well as Trump's pardon of Changpeng Zhao, the founder of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance.
