This week on Look Forward, Jay and Brad return to an absolutely insane week in cable news. The hosts delve into the reasons behind the departures at Fox News (Tucker Carlson, Maria Bartiromo, Dan Bongino, Jean Pirro, and more) and what they mean for the future of the network. Meanwhile CNN's Don Lemon has sparked controversy for his comments on Nikki Haley and misogyny, which seems to have been part of the reason he was fired this past week. President Joe Biden has received support from big business donors for his newly announced reelection campaign for 2024. Former President Trump is facing a rape trial, and his accuser, E. Jean Carroll, recently testified in court. A controversial new law in Iowa is impacting rape victims' access to abortion and contraceptives, what does this even more extreme stance by the GOP say about the party and its future nationwide political power. Transgender activist and state Representative, Zooey Zephyr of Montana was recently punished for protesting against anti-trans policies by being barred from speaking on the legislature floor and voting in person. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is facing a lawsuit from Disney over a new law that impacts the company's theme parks. Disney calls DeSantis' actions political retribution for the company being against his "Don't Say Gay" law in schools. Senator Tommy Tuberville has come under fire for blocking military promotions over his opposition to abortion for military personnel. A Georgia district attorney has issued a warning to law enforcement to 'get ready for indictments' in a case involving a high-profile members in the political arena in reference to the 2020 election interference case. Republicans are expressing concern over the use of police dogs in states where marijuana has been legalized.
