NightSide With Dan Rea

(No 20th hour light topic this hour.) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President Trump and Vice President Vance today in the Oval Office where the conversation turned into a fiery exchange. Today’s White House meeting was supposed to focus on a deal over Ukraine’s rare earth minerals but quickly took a turn when VP Vance said the “path to peace between Russia and Ukraine is diplomacy.” The Ukrainian president appeared to not like that statement, challenging Vance and the heated exchange went on from there where at one point Trump called Zelenskyy “disrespectful” telling him he “does not have any cards right now.” We breakdown this fiery exchange and how it might affect America’s foreign policy.

There is an ongoing dilemma here in Massachusetts over prosecuting violent criminals who are here illegally that has local and federal officials at odds. In one case of a Guatemalan national facing child rape charges, the question is which legal action takes priority: convict and imprison the man for the crime he committed here in MA or deport him back to Guatemala. The Trump Administration wants violent criminals deported immediately while MA prosecutors argue they should be tried for crimes before deportation. Dan listened to what you had to say.
