Listen to “Alabama Abortion Ban, Beto Panders to Abrams, Warren’s War on Fox News” on Spreaker.
Alexandra DeSanctis of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud Alabama legislators for passing a sweeping abortion ban but Alexandra wonders how well it will stand up to legal challenges.

David French of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome the news that special counsel Robert Mueller is looking at possible criminal activity by the Podesta Group, which not only shows Mueller is looking at activities on the left but also highlights the fact Russia and the Soviet Union have meddled in U.S. politics for decades. They also discuss the latest reports of former Fox News allegedly shelling out $32 million to settle a lawsuit from a former Fox contributor who alleged a “non-consensual sexual relationship” with Bill O’Reilly, and David concluding the political right should treat O’Reilly as a pariah akin to Harvey Weinstein. And they roll their eyes as CNN unveils its new “Facts First” campaign by showing an apple and saying that some people – clearly referring to President Trump – insist the apple is a banana. They explain why CNN’s does not have the moral high ground in this debate.
Venezuelan officials are depriving citizens of much-needed medication and food by forcing U.S. non-profit groups to stop sending supplies. According to Fox News, the Venezuelan government is shutting down already over-restricted channels of aid by confiscating deliveries of essential items. Many U.S. agencies either cannot ship supplies in or even receive shipping permits at all, and some say they may stop aid altogether if something doesn’t change soon. Venezuelan politics are currently in turmoil as elections near in July, decreasing the likelihood of suppliers’ ability to continue their aid.
