0:00.0 | Thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. Wow, a lot happened today and even more has happened tonight. Every Friday, it's like this, but here we go. Ready? |
0:10.4 | Tonight, a federal judge in New York has just blocked Trump from shutting down the voice of America and firing its staff. |
0:18.2 | Trump tried to do this two weeks ago, but tonight a judge ordered Trump that he cannot, |
