Episode 343: Civics, How Do They Work?! (Trump Trial Date, Florida Shooting, Vivek on Jan 6th)


Listen Later

This week on Look Forward, Jay and Brad return to discuss a 2024 trial date is set for former President Donald Trump over charges related to attempting to overturn the 2020 election results, occurring just before the pivotal Super Tuesday, amid his other legal battles. Meanwhile, in a separate trial, ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is testifying, hoping to shift jurisdiction from state to federal court over claims that his efforts were linked to his official position, potentially affecting similar future cases. On the healthcare front, the Biden administration plans to negotiate prices for 10 high-expenditure Medicare drugs, facing resistance from pharmaceutical giants. In Florida, a racial attack near a Dollar General in Jacksonville, which coincided with MLK's 60th anniversary speech, reignited debates on gun control, with Governor DeSantis facing criticism at a related vigil. Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has voiced contrasting views on the 2020 election's certification, suggesting comprehensive reforms. Interestingly, Ramaswamy's early political skepticism at Harvard in 2003, during a dialogue with Rev. Al Sharpton, has been spotlighted as he navigates critiques about his own political inexperience in the 2024 race.
