It is Friday, May 2nd.
I'm Josie Duffy Rice, in for Jane Koston, and this is What A Day,
the show that can't stop laughing at the fact that the man Trump wants to write it as Little Marco is now running half the government.
Good for you, Little Marco.
Get a pay raise.
Don't be shy.
On today's show,
the Department of Justice preemptively sues states before the states can sue fossil fuel companies.
Yes, you heard that correctly.
And former President Joe Biden announces his first daytime talk show appearance
since leaving the White House.
But let's start with the administration's national security shakeup.
On Thursday,
President Donald Trump announced that he was ousting National Security Advisor Mike Waltz weeks after Waltz accidentally added a journalist to a Signal group chat.
For those who may have forgotten, in March, Waltz included Jeffrey Goldberg,
editor-in-chief of The Atlantic,
in a confidential chat discussing details about a military operation in Yemen.
He later claimed that Goldberg's contact was, quote, sucked in to his phone.
After that, Waltz's future in the administration was clearly uncertain,
but Trump denied that he was planning on firing Waltz for the gaffe.
