It's Monday, October 13th.
I'm Jane Costin, and this is What Today, the show that says Canada is a pretty cool place that,
unlike President Donald Trump, I have no weird beef with.
But I might, if Canada does action its plan to put a nuclear reactor on the moon.
Now I know that this is not a new idea,
and that Canada isn't even alone in its desire to put a nuclear reactor on the moon,
but as a big fan of the moon, And as a non-fan of space-centered horror films,
I feel like nuclear reactor on the moon ends poorly.
On today's show, Trump reignites his favorite hobby, threatening China with 100% tariffs,
tanking the stock market, and then insisting everything's fine.
And the Trump administration plans to gouge a Pentagon program to pay the U.S. military during the government shutdown.
Is it legal?
No. Does it matter to them?
Same answer.
But let's start with our nation's state attorneys general.
Last week,
the Department of Justice indicted New York Attorney General Latisha James on one count of bank fraud and one count of making a false statement in relation to allegations James lied on a mortgage application.
Charges that came only after Trump replaced the previous U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia,
who had said that there wasn't enough evidence to charge James with his former personal attorney,
Lindsey Halligan.
