After the hours-long summit in Alaska between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Trump said, “No deal!” He said, “We haven’t quite got there, but we’ve got some headway. There’s no deal until there’s a deal.” Putin described the talks as “constructive and useful”… and said, “Russia is genuinely interested in ending the Ukraine conflict.” The endgame is an end to the war in Ukraine. How far away are we? Colonel Jeff McCausland, CBS Military Analyst, joins Newell to talk about it.

An appeals court has ruled that the New Orleans City Council does not have to sign a contract with Henry Consulting to provide sanitation services for the French Quarter and other portions of downtown New Orleans. That means IV Waste will continue to provide sanitation services for the FQ, Warehouse District & the CBD for the time being. Sidney Torres IV, owner of IV Waste, joins Newell to talk about it.

Mayor Cantrell was indicted by a federal grand jury on 18 federal charges, including 14 counts of wire fraud and one count each of conspiracy, conspiracy to obstruct justice, obstruction of justice, false statements, and false declarations before a grand jury, and federal prosecutors allege that Cantrell participated in a years-long scheme to defraud the City of New Orleans and the NOPD (with bodyguard Jeffrey Vappie.) This marks the first time in the Crescent City's history that a mayor faces federal charges while in office. Craig Murdock, New Orleans Criminal Defense Attorney, joins Newell to talk about it.
