About this episode

Donald Trump has denounced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy as a "dictator", deepening a feud between the two leaders. Hamas has handed over the bodies of the two youngest captives taken in their October 7, 2023 attack. The judge in Brazil who is overseeing the coup plot case against former president Jair Bolsonaro is accused of illegal censorship in a U.S. lawsuit. A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows a majority of Americans are worried that Elon Musk's efforts to reduce the federal government could hurt services.
