Episode 147: Reporter Roundtable with Forrest Saunders
Description
Forrest Saunders, Capitol Reporter for E.W. Scripps, rejoins Dara in the Speakeasy this week to delve into a week of alligators, vetoes and founding fathers. Forrest breaks down Gov. Ron DeSantis' action on the state's $117.4 billion spending plan for the fiscal year that began Tuesday. The biggest news this week, however, is percolating at a migrant detention center in the middle of the Everglades, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" by DeSantis and Attorney General James Uthmeier. The journos weigh in on President Donald Trump's visit to the detention center and the host of GOP heavyweights who gathered for a tour this week. And, just in time for the Fourth of July, Dara and Forrest dish on their favorite founding fathers.
