Mayor of Newark Reacts to Arrest; DHS Claims Dems "Body Slammed" Ice Agents First Of All with Victor Blackwell 44 mins
The Trump administration narrative around the arrest of the Mayor of Newark takes a turn when a Department of Homeland Security official floats the possibility of arrest for members of congress who are accused of 'body slamming' immigration agents. Victor speaks with the DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Tricia McLaughlin. And just hours after leaving custody, Mayor Ras Baraka responds to McLaughlin's claims and his arrest.
Plus, a woman is confronted about hurling a racial slur at a Black child and the video goes viral. Days later, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised ... for the woman accused of using the N-word. The head of the NAACP in Rochester, Minnesota wants to see charges filed. And Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says hate is being normalized. Both he and Walé Elegbede join Victor to discuss.
And later, a conversation with Raymond C. Pierce of the Southern Education Foundation about the end of school desegregation orders as he prepares to take on the Trump administration in court.
And a special message to Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan and the cast of 'Sinners'. Tyler Yarbrough and Clarksdale Mayor Chuck Espy join Victor to explain why the Mississippi city's residents are asking for a special screening of the hit film.

‘Golden Share' in U.S. Steel Gives Trump Extraordinary Control
To save its takeover of U.S. Steel, Japan's Nippon Steel agreed to an unusual arrangement, granting the White House a 'golden share' that gives the government an extraordinary amount of influence over a U.S. company. New details of the agreement show that the structure would give President Trump and his successors a permanent stake in U.S. Steel, significant sway over its board and veto power over a wide array of company actions, an arrangement that could change the nature of foreign investment in the United States. The terms of the arrangement were hammered out in meetings that went late into the night on Wednesday and Thursday, according to two people familiar with the details. Representatives from Nippon Steel — which had been trying to acquire the struggling U.S. Steel since December 2023, but had been blocked by the Biden administration over national security concerns — came around to Mr. Trump's desire to take a stake that would give the U.S. government significant control over the company's actions. Nippon had argued that this influence should expire — perhaps after three or four years, the duration of the Trump administration. But in the meetings, which were held at the Commerce Department, Trump officials led by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick insisted that the golden share should last in perpetuity, the two people said. Under the terms of the national security pact, which the companies said they signed Friday, the U.S. government would retain a single share of preferred stock, called class G — as in gold. And U.S. Steel's charter will list nearly a dozen activities the company cannot undertake without the approval of the American president or someone he designates in his stead. Want all of The Times?
