Low inventory and higher borrowing costs make it nearly impossible for people, especially minorities, to purchase homes. The National Association of Real Estate Brokers president will join me to discuss this housing crisis.

Tonight, we will examine MAGA's Economic Assault on Black America. Democratic Representative Jim McGovern is calling out the GOP, the supposed party of law and order, while they have yet to justify the pardons granted for the events of January 6. We'll discuss the pardons of two former D.C. officers who were convicted of charges related to the death of Karon Hylton-Brown, which occurred after they pursued him for riding a scooter without a helmet in October 2020.
