As the second Trump administration has been firing ethics officials and accountability officers, the whistleblower has become more important than ever.

But who protects the people who take the risk to tell the truth?

Grant talks to David Kligerman, Senior VP at Whistlebloweraid.org. The non-profit organization helps whistleblowers come forward to sound the alarm about unethical and illegal things happening in our government.

They talk about how dangerous it is to be a whistleblower right now, how busy they've been with so many people coming forward, and why whistleblowers are as important now as they have ever been to protect the present and the future of the United States.

Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday to start another round of peace talks to end the war in Ukraine. It's the first time Putin will meet with a US president on US soil in a decade.

But why is it in Alaska? Sure, it's technically the closest state to Russia, but there's more to it.

Grant breaks down why meeting in Alaska is actually a win for Putin, what Trump has been saying about the meeting, and why the dance of diplomacy is about the small things.

Donald Trump has federalized the DC Metro police and called in hundreds of DC National Guard troops to fight crime and homelessness in the nation's capital.

The problem? There isn't a crime wave in DC, and arresting homeless people isn't going to make them not homeless.

Grant explains Trump's unprecedented decision, what is actually happening on DC streets and why, more than any other point so far, it's important to pay attention to what's coming out of the White House.
