Hour 2 segment 1: Jack Rice joins Matt to start hour 2. They talk about the trial last week of the three men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery and the trial and jury selection of Kim Potter, who shot Daunte Wright and claimed she meant to reach for her taser instead of gun.

Hour 2 segment 2: Lauren Boebert and Ilhan have an awkward phone call today after Boebert last week made an Islamophobic “joke” to Omar.
