a lot of the audience comes up to our hosts and treats them like friends, like they already know them. and we have to sort of remind our talent, our hosts, that, you know, to expect this. and it sjust one of those quirks that, in part, i think it s the nature of the way you listen to the shows. here s a quote to start us off. it s from an annual report on digital news from the reuters institute for the study ofjournalism. it came out on monday and describes news podcasting as, a bright spot for publishers, which attracts younger, well educated listeners. given that there aren t so many bright spots for many news organisations at the moment, that is something to hold on to and i wanted to open up to everyone first. lewis, you re here. you ve covered many an election over your very young life. you make me sound so old. yeah, not that old. but you ve managed to get in on a few elections. but could you have ever seen that podcasting would be so central to this one? well, i def
to on a regular basis. and we find that when we do live events, a lot of the audience comes up to our hosts and treats them like friends, like they already know them. and we have to sort of remind ourtalent, our hosts, that, you know, to expect this. and it sjust one of those quirks that, in part, i think it s the nature of the way you listen to the shows. here s a quote to start us off. it s from an annual report on digital news from the reuters institute for the study ofjournalism. it came out on monday and describes news podcasting as, a bright spot for publishers, which attracts younger, well educated listeners. given that there aren t so many bright spots for many news organisations at the moment, that is something to hold on to and i wanted to open up to everyone first. lewis, you re here. you ve covered many an election over your very young life. you make me sound so old. yeah, not that old. but you ve managed to get in on a few elections. but could you have ever see
we get an awful lot of practice. i may not, you know, your viewers know as much about what police ought to do when they go to the scene of an active shooter as people who have been in police for 20, 30 years. it is unfortunate but you see it almost every single day. this is what we re talking about. and it is nuts. it s crazy. you make a great point about so many people having watched these tragic events playing out on the news kind of know what to do. some people hold their hands up. some are not. do you think they re being instructed to do that? or do you think they re doing that voluntarily? when the police are getting them out, they re saying, we need to see your hands. you don t who know the shooter is. you just have a mass of people. when they can put them down, that s up to them. they re asking them to keep their hands visible so they can see that they re not armed. and you see some with them up.

diligent to stay on this for whelan as they were for brittney. and everyone that was skeptical about that, look at the fact that brittney s on a plane coming back home, and it s because the president and the white house and the secretary of state took this as a priority, and i believe they will do the same for paul whelan. yeah. it s so important. it s one of those nights you never know when this news kind of breaks but you can feel it as a citizen, as an american, as a human being when you look at the risk she was in, and that risk end as she is no longer in putin s custody. rev sharpton, good as always to see you. maya, stay with me. she s here with me in the room. we re going get to the other big breaking story. the justice department prosecutors are seeking contempt for donald trump in the mar-a-lago case, where he had that other loss. that s a big development. i m thrilled to tell you, maya stays. i want to tell you why i think this matters. we re going to get into it in 60 se
