Episode Details

This week on Look Forward, Jay and Brad return to the domestic political news of the week. In this week's news roundup, Fox News resolves a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems by agreeing to pay more than $787 million, but more election defamation cases loom, specifically from Smartmatic. A woman is shot in Upstate New York after mistakenly entering the wrong driveway, while the family of Ralph Yarl, a teenager shot after ringing the incorrect doorbell, seeks justice. In the political arena, controversies surround Governor Ron DeSantis over his newly passed 6 week abortion ban, book bans, and connections to allies facing allegations of sexual misconduct. "Stop the Steal" organizer Ali Alexander issues a public apology after being accused of soliciting sexual images from minors. Meanwhile, Trump's fake Georgia electors turn on each other according to D.A.
