During this hour of "The Leslie Marshall Show," Leslie first breaks down the latest scandal in the Donald Trump Presidency, this time involving a potential nuclear energy deal with the Saudis.
In the second half of the show, Leslie is joined by Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen, a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization that champions the public interest in the halls of power.
With the effects of President Trump's national emergency declaration regarding the border wall with Mexico still unresolved, Leslie and Robert investigate what impact this declaration could have on ranchers, farmers, and everyday people living at the proposed border site.
Fears of land seizures, known as eminent domain, are beginning to grab headlines, as it is reported that there are thousands of potential American homes threatened due to the proposed border wall's construction.
Does President Trump national emergency set a dangerous precedent? What constitutes a national emergency anyway?
Robert Weissman explains in detail during this must-listen hour of the Leslie Marshall Show.
