    "The law is reasserting itself, particularly around Trump. I think inside the party they're doing everything they can to kill him, and cripple him." Before getting into domestic news this week, we look at some major international stories, with the murder of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the resignation of Boris Johnson, and upheaval in Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, on the US homefront, little to be surprised about coming from the January 6th Hearings. Also talking defiance over Roe v. Wade, the Iran nuclear deal, and Joe Biden's 2024 prospects.
