It's Thursday, April 30th.
I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day.
The show watching Arizona Republican Representative Abraham Hamadai give Secretary
of War Pete Hegseth a remarkably bad idea.
I would love for President Trump's truth social post to be leafleted all over Iran, to be honest with you.
I think that would encourage them to actually take to the streets.
I have to assume he doesn't mean the a whole civilization will die tonight post.
Today's show, Hegseth gets grilled over how poorly his war with Iran is going.
And Jerome Powell stands up to the Trump administration.
Again!
Well, let's start with the Supreme Court of the United States, which is rarely a good sign.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court struck down a 2024 Louisiana map that created a second majority black voting district.
The map was drawn after black voters challenged the state's existing districts,
which only included one majority black voting district,
despite the fact that black Louisianans make up one third of the state.
But in a 6-3 decision, the court found that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act did not give states the ability
to create voting districts specifically based on race.
In effect, turning past understanding of Section 2 on its head.
So it comes as no surprise that President Donald Trump was locked in on the historic ruling
when asked about it in the Oval Office on Wednesday.
