VB in the Middle

Robert Kraft asks for a jury trial and pleads not guilty to charges of soliciting prostitution. We ask the question, will Kraft get a fair trial down in Florida seeing as how the Patriots have a rivalry with the Miami Dolphins? Will that fact affect the trial?

Jussie Smollett mysteriously had all of his charges dropped in Chicago for staging his own hate crime. What happened? The working theory is that the Obamas intervened and pulled strings to help him get off. We also ask the question, was Rahm Emanuel in on it?

While speaking at an event in NYC, Joe Biden told the crowd that "English Jurisprudential culture" where women are put down by white men in society is still in existence today and it needs to stop!

People are now saying Biden is on his "apology tour" prepping himself for his presidential run. We discuss!

Big news and topic of the show today: Jussie Smollett has had all 16 charges dropped against him for a "staged hate crime". WHAT? HOW?

VB talks to Howie Carr Producer Steve Robinson on the Suffolk County DA Rachel Rollins' new policy on bending the rules to illegal alien criminals to avoid deportation.

The Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson & the Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel are less than enthused about the dropped charges against Jussie Smollett. The PD was actually blind-sided by this morning's news and find it upsetting. Based off of their press conference, which we cover live here, they believe Smollett is still guilty of staging his own hate crime based on all the evidence they have acquired in their investigation. We hear their statements to the press and public and discuss! Emanuel asks has this man no decency!

In a surprise announcement, Jussie Smollett's 16 charges were dropped this morning in Chicago. He and his lawyer spoke to the press as he was exiting a Chicago court.
