The Sunday Show With Jonathan Capehart: May 19, 2024
On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': I’ll dive into breaking news out of Iran, where a helicopter carrying Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi crashed in the mountains close to the country’s border with Azerbaijan. There is still no word on Raisi’s condition and rescuers have been unable to reach the crash site due to bad weather. Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute will discuss the implications of this tenuous moment. And standing by his man. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who kept his job with the help of Democrats, decided to show his true loyalty to Donald Trump and ditched his day job to support the disgraced ex-president at his New York Trial. I'll ask Democratic Rep. Becca Balint what she thinks of the Speaker’s attacks on the U.S. Justice system. In addition, President Biden delivers a high-profile commencement speech at the iconic all male historically Black Morehouse College, his most direct engagement with college students since the Israel-Hamas war protests erupted on American campuses. We will discuss whether his message will resonate with Black men beyond campus. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”
