CBS Radio Dead at 99 — Edward R. Murrow's Legacy Silenced Forever. White House Shooting at the Gate, Reporters Caught on Camera & Trump vs C

About this episode

The episode discusses the legacy of CBS Radio and Edward R. Murrow, a recent White House shooting incident, and Trump's political influence in Texas.

CBS Radio — Edward R. Murrow's network, the Tiffany standard of American broadcast journalism — died Friday night at 99 years old without the farewell it earned. We give it that farewell today. Saturday a gunman was killed trying to shoot his way into the White House and the cameras caught something fascinating — one reporter dove for cover and another kept asking what the loud noise was. Two journalists, two very different instincts. Worth talking about. And today in Texas Trump is backing Ken Paxton against John Cornyn in a Republican primary that is really about one thing — punishing senators who refused to fund the ballroom and pushed back on the weaponization bill. Texas votes today and the results will echo across every Republican Senate office in America.
