                                                                          3:00 -  Rupert Murdoch suggested Fox News hosts Carlson, Hannity and Ingraham go on air and say Joe Biden had won 2020 election, court filing says

                                                                          On January 5, 2021, Murdoch emailed Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott: "It's been suggested our prime time three should independently or together say something like 'the election is over, and Joe Biden won.'"

                                                                          25:00 - Former Governor now presidential candidate Nikki Haley says Gov. Ron DeSantis didn’t go ‘far enough’ with ‘Don’t Say Gay’

                                                                          33:30 -  Ron DeSantis styles himself as a religious icon, but the Catholic Church finds his push for the expansion of the Death Penalty concerning.

                                                                          In January, after the Parkland school shooter was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, DeSantis lamented that it is not easier for the state to execute convicted criminals, calling for a change in the law so that the death penalty could be imposed even when jurors disagree with the punishment.

                                                                          43:50 -  Student Loan Forgiveness: Biden Administration Makes It Easier To Have Debt Discharged Through Bankruptcy

                                                                          57:20 -  Kamala Harris Says Russia Has Committed Crimes Against Humanity

                                                                          1:11:15 - Top Republicans plot Santos’ ouster as embattled freshman weighs reelection

                                                                                    24:30 -  Democrats demand removal of Lincoln Emancipation Memorial in DC

"They successfully took it down, and I want to complement our aviators who did it," Biden said. "And we'll have more to report on this a little later."

                                                                                    46:40 -   FBI searched Biden's Delaware vacation home as part of a classified document probe
