About this episode
First: President Trump is welcoming his South African counterpart to the White House today, after Trump made unsubstantiated claims that that government in is committing genocide against whites. Will he be getting the Zelensky treatment?
Plus: House Speaker Mike Johnson says there will be a vote tonight on the president's mega MAGA bill. But hardline Republicans are threatening to torpedo it unless the speaker agrees to more spending cuts.
And: President Trump will have dinner tomorrow night with dozens of supporters who bought his meme coins. It's one of the Trump family crypto moneymaking ventures that some call legalized bribery. We talk to a top reporter who has been covering the story.
