Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has to explain to Brennan just how the global markets work. Brennan gets a little pissy toward the end. Another Brennan interview where the gotcha questions get her instead of the person she is supposedly interviewing.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has recommended that prosecutors should seek the death penalty in the case of accused murderer Luigi Mangione. Mangione is accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Over on ‘The View,’ Joy Behar recently wondered if this decision would cause a ‘backlash’ against Republicans.
